The next day they were receiv ed at the White Home, by tbq Preddcnl, in a very Battering manner, and afterward. went to the Capitol, where they were politely introduced npon the floor of either branch of Congrem, by Senator! and Membera. ,Thil viail to tho high placea of the only great errantry where tho prin ciple! of public liberty, lor which they and their countrymen' fought ao long and ao gallantly, have been ealahliahed and put in practice, muet have been fraught with a melancholy internal to theao martyr! to freedom.

On lh* preceding day, Mr. Seward bid mtro dneed u resolution, covering the ground of Cass’s puerilfl movement, so for as censure of national cruelty and tyrenny were concerned; but not char aeterixed by so extravagant and impolitic a spirit u ft indicated by the attempt to retd Austria out of the pale of nations, and proposing as aiubatao tial mark of our sympathy, a grant of land to tho unhappy refugees. 1 think it probable that it will be adopted. . -I have alio omitted to notice, the very singular application.of Mr. Seely, of New York, for indem aity for damn against the government of Hoi* laod. Mr. Seely is a New York lawyer. Some jWeaty yean ago, the jewel! belonging to the pria eeu of Orange ware stolen from their plaeeV de posit at'Brnuels,and fora long lime all the efforts or the sharpest policemen in Europe werennavil* ing to detect the thief, or recover the jewels.— The valoe of them, was stated to be netrly/a mil* lion of dollars. What made me matter mole com plicated, waa the suspicion tbit the Prince of Hoi* land bimselfhsd stolen the jewels and ginbled them nwsy. At length s part of the were trteed to the United Slates, and the Bsron kHog gens was to use all his energies to recover them. The Minister eugtged the services of Mr. Seely, then a lawyer in good and lucrative practice, to aid him In the pursuit. Ttislbniinesa he gave op, and devoted his whole time and capacity to this object, of hunting up and recovering the crown jewels of Holland. His efforts were successful. Nearly all the jewels were recovered; the thief; was arrested and taken back to Holland, and ; there executed. Mr. Seely presented his demand for compensation to the Dutch Government. He eiaimed indemnification • for'the sacrifice of his business, as well as for the actual time employed. His . demand was in substance denied; a pitifal sum was dffered end refused by him. Ever since ho has been unremittingly endeavoringfo obtain a | fair compensation, without any success. It waa at length suggested to him tbit this government is annually passing aomojthirty thonsand dollars, as i j interest on a Dutch loan, to the extlea of the Dis- j I trim, assumed by the federal government, andthat; the amount claimed to be doe him from Holland, j might be withheld from tho appropriation of the j present year. This is, at any rate, a very curious : , affair. II the interest doe from our government ts payable to indiv'doalt, of course the proposition to divert it could not[be listened to for a moment, but as Mr. Clay, In presenting Beely’s memorial, observed, if any part of U-wentto the Dutch Gov ernment, then the Senate pfght with propriety consider whether Mr. Seely’s claim should bo paid out of it. I learn that another claim, eomewhat analogous in character Jis pending against our Dutch friends. A person in New York, named, I think, Eeharte, probably a European, states that while the Baron Huggens was absent in . Europe, on business con-* ceded with this singular robbery, it became ne ecssary that blazon, who bad-been left hero as fo am taunt should also, return, and to enablo him to do to„ he Echario aforesaid, famished him with g2£oo, which he has not been able to collect from either Cither or son, or their common parent, Holland. He also wants to be remember, ed out of the Dutch loan. It will be acknowledg ed that these are pretty serious charges against the elder land of steady habits; .the good old Dutch countrie, venowned through many centuries for her commercial honor and probity—end should they be sustained, and the remedies sought for be spplied, the (.Dutch loan will certainly "suffer •ome." i \ Intheßenato,today,old Bullion introduced a very important bill, the provisions of which are, very briefly 1 these.

Not the land, for he taya, or always h*s'«*id, that Texas never owned a foot weal of the Nueces, nor noith of the south ern bonndry of New Mexico. We conquered all > region, and it belongs to the United State*.— Bot suppose Texas to own westward to the Bio Grande, are we to pay for those deaolalo plains, tarxnaeh at we once bought all Texas for, togeth* er with Louisiana, and all we now owa between the Mlssissippiand the Booty mountains* At to the great question ofSlavery at iasoe, nothing in the world would be gained by this arrange ment, except, perhaps, hastening the time for the ■ admission of another slave State. Because, sop pose we buy : out the Texas claim toiha disputed district, whai shall we gain? Nothing. The South will still contend that having been as apart of Texas, slave territory once, it cannot by mere ces sion to the general Government, become any thidg else. The samo old bittar fend will remein open. I am against appropriating fifteen millions for any ■ mch pnrpose. Mr. Benton made a abort, bnt practical speech, full of sound and usefal information,in Introducing the bill, which was referred to the committee on ! the Jadiciary. When he had concluded, Foote, the most pes tiferous little varmint tbit ever found its way into the Senate, flew at him with the fury of a wasp, andbnxxed about the old Senator with malignant 'activity for an hour and a half. But lbs • lion heard him not, neither winking his eyes, nor shaking his main, and when the gad fly had bus sed himself oat, he signified neither by sound nor movement consciousness of tho attack. Poor Foote, pity that somebody would not condescend to kick him. That would help him tome. Light as he is, it might servo to tlnaU him. _ Wastmwnoa, Jan.'H, 1860. These appear to be melancholy days for the Republic, and what the end will be no man or hardly dares to conjecture. The prospect is a dark one—darker, I trust, to the witneisea of events at the capital, than to the people out of sight and bearing of these scenes of turmoil and excite ment In the Senste, to dty, Mr. Clemens, of Alabama, made another exhibition of that bitter, extreme, and violent spirit which has marked his course from tho moment he entered the Senste, which is scarcely a fortnight ago. Bnt fortunately a most unwarrantable attack made by him npon Mr. Douglass of Illinois, called forth a retort sod a .deveiopement from that gentleman, which will essentially cattail Mr. Clemens’ power for mischief for the futare,by exposing in bold relief his system of tactics. A week or two ago, Mr. Clemens pre* aented a resolution professing to call forinfonu ation in regard to California,hut In a manner con veying a long series of very grave charges against tho administration. The other day, Mr. Douglas* wished to get tt some other matter, anti in order to do that, it became necessary to lay this resolu tion aside, ita author not objecting. He voted . against it, however, and tho motion u> pass it ovt r temporarily, was only adopted by the casting voto l ofthe Vice President. Today, however, Donglass | moved to take it up, and to the astonishment of I every body Clemens, not only resisted taking it, I and declared he did not wish it acted upon, but made a most vindictive personal attaek upon Donglass and all the northern Senator* for haring voted to lay it on the table, declaring that they had only done so out of pore hostility to the south, and the desire to screen the administration from in qoiry as to ita unauthorised proceedings in Cali fornia. This reused Douglass, and no came out -with the following statement—He had consulted' with Clemens about passing this resolution, and that Senator had absolutely refused’.his consent, to its. feeing touched, because ho said the inform ation sought for by it bad already been eo^muni-1 etted to the House, as 4 would soon be accessible to all, and because principally bis chief design had been already answered. 1 " He wanted to show that j the north was unanimously opposed to an investi- I gation of the manner In which the constitution of i California came to be formed, and that sectional vote he .bad now got on the motion to lay upon 1 the table. He did not wgnt to tqe U reversed, nor should ho give the opportunity. That vote eoold bo used with effect at the South. Never jra* ihe'veD of s demagogue more rad< iy or completely torn from hi* face, then by thia exposition. There stood the patriotic Senator ] from Alabama, Ue new fledged champion of Sontberajrighta, even with lance In re*t,' and find ing in each innocent wayliurer a deadly foe, a con fessed trickiter. Nothirg cared he tor the alleged usurpation! of the Executive in California, nothing for the righti of the peraeanied Californians, bnt he wanted a secional vote .of North against South, and be bad got, and should uae it, and wantedi nothin? farther! Asif conscious of the contempti ble attitude in which this expoanre had placed, him. Clemena had very little to say to reply to Douglas*; bnt eagerly laid bold of a pretence to quarrel with hia colleague, Geo. Shields, and for a lew momenta things looked very much aa if there would be a fight between them, bat the betlrr ■ewe of some of Clemens’ Southern friends Inter posed, nod checked an invective ho wai about to enterapeo. The resolution, then, after a alight amendment, waa pawed, 48 to 3. In the House the paiufnl spectacle waa again presented of aoothera Whig! refusing to aid in the election of a northern man to office, parely, it seemed, because he was a citixen of a free State, and not, in the abstract, favorable to slavery. On the fourth trial, to day, for door keeper, Mr. Tufta> or Indiana, agood Whig, and a respectable man, received 107 out of QO7 votes, of coureo seven majority over all others. Hts competitor, ran by the Democrats, waa a person who ia said to own Slaves, who is a native of the South, and a citizen of this district, and who, having been for aeveral years an under door tender on the Democratic side of the hall, has been remarked for nothing bnt a series of servile attentions to a certain set of members. It was for aach a person as this that, after Mr. Tofta had been (airly chosen by a clear and decided majority, Cabell, Stephens, Morton, and Hilliard, deaerted_ him. They were four of the aix Whiga who.' vrted against Mr. Winthrop- They not only leit bnt boldly went for Stewart. Bnt thiajvas a--repeiilion of an outrage onco tod often.

The mercbanla have called a meeting at (he Exchange, and our legislator! will hare tbia qoeation pot before them in a common sense light, and, it is to be hoped, that ibe good sense ofour rulers will prompt them to sweep from the statute bookao antiquated a law. Under the usury laws, the, needy man, for whose protection the laws are supposed to hare been made, is de* barred/rom borrowing money. Why? Because bis business enables him to pay ten per cent, for the use of money, at timer, while the law steps in and prevents the lender from supplying the money. Usury says the man who owns a dollar, obtained for a days work, may loan the tame to another -and receive seven cents per annum for the use thereof The sticklers for the usury law also say, the man who eama two bushels of potatoes per day. valued at fifry cents per bushel, may, at night, sell them at one dollar a bushel, and sleep quietly without thinking that be has been guilty of extor tion. The potatoes and the dollar each represent a days labor, and it Is a nice question to .deter* minowhy a man ehall not use his dollar as freely as his potatoes. Uoney is a commodity, like po tatoes, and, except a rate of interest, where no bargain is made no laws are needed.

Ev.GsxetU' For tkt Fttuburgk GmaUt. U THB XHOS ITBXEE.” Ha. Warrx—ln the “Queen's own,” of this morning, under the editorial lieid, with the above 1 caption, is on article designed to encoarage the J workmen in ihe different rolling mill* to resist the propot ed redaction of wages. Thla article, like all others from the same quarter, on the same sub* ject, characterises the movement of the mill own* era as an act of oppression. Now, what are the tads. Ist—The price for boiling is $6 per ton—far paddling $4 per ton. - 2d—ln radls running doable turn, there are in the week, six day and five night tarns. 3d—The time required far a turn is eight hoars. 4th—Each poddler and boiler makes in every two weeks eleven tnrns, vim six day and five night turne. sth—A tarn’s work, at paddling, is one ton and one hundred weight—at boiling, seventeen and one ball hundred weights. 6th—Peddler’s price each, one helper, at $1,25 per turn, boilers pay,sl,so per turn, each, to help. From these facts we learn that in two weeks a paddler will make eleven tons and eleven cwts. j ofiron, which, at $4 per ton, amounts to $4B 2® Oat of which be pays his helpers, 13 75 Leavingfar hit two week’s work $33 45 or sixteen dollars and twenty two cents per week. Now it is proposed to redneo the price of pud dling 50 cents per ton, which would lessen the I puddiei’s wages five dollars and seventy eight! cents on every two week’s work t leaving him twenty six dollars and seventy seven cents, or thirteen dollars and thirty three cents per week.— Is ibis “grinding men to the dust t” Again—a boiler will make in two weeks cr eleven taros, 9 tons, 12 cwts, 3 qn., of iron,' which, at $6, amounts to, $57 75 Out of which he pays to hishclper 11 toms, at $1,50. 10 50 Leaving him far two week* work $4l 351 Or twenty dollars and sixty two and a half cental per week. Now it is proposed to reduce boiling I one j dollar and filly cents per ton, which would I leave tho boiler far two week’s work, tweniy six j dollars acd eighty one cents, or thirteen dollars I and forty cents per week. Is this oppression ?—j But there is no other reason for paying a boiler’s 1 helper 25 cts per tnrn more than a paddler, hot the fact that at present the former receives better wages than the latter. If then the wages ofboiS era aid puddlera are equalized, as is now propos- j ed, that of their helpers will be equalized also, ibis will increase the wages a - the boilers to 515;77 per week—certainly not bad wages. It is supposed, however, by penons not ac. quaieted with the business, that the labor isex-j ceedingiy oppressive. This Is not the case. The I whole time required for a tarn's work is eight I hours, these ire divided between tbe boiler and I his helper, far only one can work at one time, I thus giving to each Tour hours work in the 34, | but then again yon most deduct from these tour hoars tho time required to melt the best which is at lead 12 minulas far each beat, and there be ing 5 heats in a turn’s work, this makes one boor, so that tbe srlnal working time of these men is| about 3 boors perday far ll daya in two week*— let the public mavo its own comments. So much for puddleia and boiler*. In another communication I may give the atatiatica in relation to the wages paid for other portions of the work ■ in our rolling mills, FAIR PLAY. cFO&KIOIT SBWI< Tho detiils of the Canada’* new* have arrived, bat we find but little injaddition to the accotmta by Telegraph. The intelligence of the insurrec tion in Scrvia ia confused, end we moat wait for another arrival to ascertain the facts. We glean eomc few items of interest. The United Service Gazette says that another North West expedition is probably determined upon, and that tbe,command will be given to the veteran Sir John Ross, who maintains that be ia •till vigorons enough to sustain the rigort of an ice campaign. The Gasetie, however, protests against the command being given to him. It ; eays Sir John most know that tbe day has gone by when he could with impunity perch himeelfin a state of mtflity on the top of an iceberg. With reference to the ships already on the Pacific side, we believe that the Plover, Commander Moore, waa shortly expecied back at the Sandwich la* lands. Here ahe has orders to refit, and wait far ther instructional and the Herald, Captain Relief, a B-, baa orders to snpplv her there with previa ion*, and then return to England via India.
