Senate fluidly refused to receive the pair lion, but . three Senators (Mauro Chaim, Seward and Hale) voting in the affirmative. Senator Sra aaaa N. during the discuesion,eum moned courage enough to Open hie lips for once. and attempted* terrible onslaught upon . tho"blark hearted .Sbolitionlits," who had prepared and signL. ed the petition. • Mr. 8. said the mernorisil pur ported to come from "a clam of society in Penn sylvania called Quakers t " whom' opinions differed from his own very much on this subject ; end when any of their Anti-Slavery petitions were sent to him, be always returned them, refusing to present them to.the Senate. Mr. Sturgeon said he was "somewhat acquainted with the feelings" of these Quakers--he had "nothing to gain from them In politics, for they were all old Federalists of the school of ma." and he "never received any fa- 1 cora from them !" Still he did not,thtnk the pa 1 titian,. genuine one, but believed it a 'spurious document." proceeding from some "violent /44- hr/fried abolitionist, who had got it op and signed name* to it." - Mr. Hale; in reply, vouched for the genoineneepeof the names attached to the petition, but could not say ae to 'TUB COLOR 0/ recta nr.aays!"

In the Senate, Mr. Ilovarros, of Texas, made a lengthy conservative speech, endorsing in general Mr. Biases's position, and warmly deprecating the idea of disunion, whioh.doee not give setitfac tion to the Southern Senators. Mr. Mantis, on Monday and Tuesday, addreased the Senate in re ply to Mr. Cr.ar, and in opposition to the admis aion of California In the House, on Tuesday, Mr. Inge, nf Ala bama, made a fierce, fiery, pro-slavery and disu nion speech, in the course of which the honorable gentleman declared that "Slavery and the Consti tution were in the .me category as Religion. The design of the Constution was not only to sustain, but to perpetuate "lovely. Slavery is recognised by the word of God, it existed in the household of His chosen people. It con tributed to the develop. mont of literature, arts and science in Greece and Rome, in which was built up a civilization which illumined the indent world, and . shade light on oar own I" In the Senate, on Toeeday, a warm **wage at awns" took place between Mr. Raki, of New Mempabire,anil Mr. Butler. of South Carolina.— The former presented a petition slimed by 1400 women of Dover, New Iletnpehire.prayino that Slavery may not be extended to California and New Mexico.

Mr. Foote had said that the abolition of slavery in that country was the result of en edict of an ueurper.-- He was prepared at any time to show that that act was subsequently, in 1835, taken by `by the Congress of Mexico, and ratified by 'them.

A hill allowing them $15,000 for the building, and an additional $2,- 000 to their annual appropriation, making it 811,- 000, passed all its readings unanimously, in both Housesa in leas than half an hour. Majority and minority reports have been pre sented by the Apportionment Committee of the House. Friday next is fixed for their coniiidere tion.

The principal witness was a man, named Philip Pyle, who was indicted for the same offence, but turned States' evi..- deuce. The two eldest boys were children of his wile before Burns was married to her.— These boys and their step-father, Burns, bud a quarrel and they threatened to "axe hint." Burns then separated &mei the fon: ily, and soon after told the defendant, Auld, that if he would pay him, he would tell hint la secret worth knowing. Auld agreed to Ltlo so, and Burns to d him that ; 11;ttoy, and his two eldest boys were slaves. and belonged to some man in Maryland. I,lelll thew wrote to a man named Preaner. in Hagerstown, to find out the itutster.*- After some time he answered that the mast er was an old m a n named Itidgely, who Ilives near Cookeville, in Howard district, Mit. Two 'of the cons of the master, Charles and Samuel; afterwards Caine on, with two others, named Henderson sad Prestman, and stopped at Pyle's. I The party intended to carry off the lam-, ily, but only carried tattle boy Alexander, whom they took with them 'in lingers town, llt was admitted that Betsy Burns, the moth er of Alexander, was the slave of Mr. Ridgely. in Maryland—that some nineteen. years ago she ran off tram her master, and ; was at that time three months guile in preg nancy with this boy—that the boy Was afterwards born in Adams county, Pa., and that he was taken away. by the Itidgley'e and sold into slavery. The court charged the jet"; strongly a gainst the defendant on the facts,' but in timated that their mind was not fully made up on the law, although inclined to believe that a legal offence had been committed. The next morning the jury returned the following verdict i • "The jury find that Betsy Burns a col ored woman, was the slave of Mr. Ridgley, a citizen of Maryland, from whom she es caped about nineteen yeass ago, and came into the State of Penusylvattua. the time of tier escape she was pregnant, and when•in PennsylVallia. was delivered of a male child about six months thereafter.-- This child was called Alexander Burns, and is the same individual named in the bill ofindietment, as having been forcibly takenaway in the summer of 1848, by the defendant and others. Vniether the said 'Alexander Burns' Was &free negro or mu latto, as contemplated by the act of assem bly of the 3d, of March, 1847 ; or a slave the property of the Raid Mr. Itidgley, the jury are ignorant. If he were then a free negro or mulatto at the time he was • thus taken' away, then we , find the defendant guilty in ,manner and form aa, heatandein dieted : otherwise we find the defendant hot guilty."
