Mr. Cass defended his speech of last spring upon the same subject, contending that the protocol issued by the ne gotiators, vitiated the treaty and gave Great Britain an excuse to evade it. He advocated the Monroe doctrine, and voted for the treaty, because he supposed it excluded Great Britain entirely from Central America. The Central America of the treaty be supposed to be geo graphical and not political. Mr. Cass whs very severe on Mr. Claytoly, but disclaimed any ill-feeling or intention 'et personality. Mr. Cuss also examined Great Britain's title to Central America, showing that it was untena ble. Mr. - Cass having concluded, the Senate ndjeuimed. Housr.—The House resumed the considera tion of the joint resolution tendering a vote of thanks and n sword to Capt. Ingraham. A very interesting discussion ensued. The most effective speech was made by Mr. Disney (dem.) of Ohio. ile said ho believed it was conceded on nil hands that thanks to Ingraham, in a mat ter of public policy, are justly due. The onlj difference of opinion existing• in any part , of the !louse was as regards the reasons for the ju.tilication of his notion. II• admired the nl lity of the Secretary of State, but there were points in the letter to which he could not assent. For purposes of concern only, the laws of nations have recognized the principle that an individual may acquire a domicile alien to the country of his birth, to which he owes allegiance, and this is unmistakably laid down in all the authorities which the Secretary has glinted. The error of the Secretory is„that he over looks this fact and the distinctions drawn.-- 0 - Nationality goes with domicile for commercial purposes, on the principles laid down by Sir Wm. Scott, mid followed by the American unirts. In reply to aquestion by Mr. Philips, he said there were two kinds of allegiance-- cue a temporary allegiance growing out of do connected with commercial.transec tions,- end the-other permanent allegiance growing out of the duty of the citizen in the :distract, without regard to commerce or pro perty. Ile discussed thisqubject at some length. The debate being concluded a motion was made to refer the resolution to. a • Committec, which was lost. The questiop Sir then taken and the original resolution passed by the deci sive rote of 174 to 9. The House then ad - j nursed. .• WASHINGTON, Jan, 12. Senale.—After some business of min im , portanco, Mr. Clayton rose to respond to Mr. C'1.99'8 speech on the Central American tre4. 'Mr. Clayton expressed himself surprised to find that Mr. Case, in the closing half of his speech had come to a conolusion nearly iden tical with his own. He would cordially shake hands' ith the Sernitor upon the result which he seemed to arrive at. and would stand by his side in executing one part of the treaty—in compelling England, if necessary, to' observe her obligations. Notwithstanding .Mr. Case had devoted a large portion of his speech to .provelim (Mr. Clayton) wrong, it appeared they agreed in some things. They agreed that tira recent despatches showed that Eegland de sired to be released from the present treaty, and to make a now one, and they both con. 'curved in the opinion that it was the duty of this government to insist upon England observ ing faithfully the stipulations she had entered into. For.tvvo hours, yesterday, he had been chided hy,the Senator, after which he was told that he done right. Mr. Clayton continued to epeas at considerable length, and finally with out concluding gave way to a motion to ad journ. house.—The business ten; unimportant, con sisting chiefly of a . discitesion on a motion to print extra copies of a compendium of tho last census, which was finally carried.

An exchange announces to the world this new and ingenious contrivance, which is of course the Invention of a •down-oast Yankee. o The design is to deceive poultry into the speedy and liberal laying of eggs, which is accomplished by the peculiar construction of this machine. It is thus described: ‘• At the bottom of the deceptive nest there is a trap door, which works on a hinge, being supported by a spring. The moment an egg is placed on this, the trap opens and lets it fall through into a cushioned apartment prepared for its reception. The consequence is, that the bird, just as she is preparing to cackle, glances at the nest, end seeing nothing, actually-reas ons herself into the belief. that she has not laid nt all, and resumes her position on the nest, in hopes of rushing is more successful effort. On, the first trial of this curious contrivance be fore the Commissioner of Patents, to test its virtues, a singular result was'effected. A large imported Russian hen was located on the neat sod left to her meditations. On account of pressing business, the hen was forgotten until the next day, when to the utter astonishment of the Commissioner, and even to the inventor himself, on examining the nest, they found nothing but n pair of claws, bill, and a bunch of feathers; the mystery was explained how ever, upon examining the chamber beneath in which they found half a bushel of eggs. The Raining Tree Subjoined is an account,.which we find in an exchange, of the most wondorfillc•troo we have heard of lately, We copy it, simply re marking that we have no knowledge of the traveller or writer to whom , the paragraph is credited: The island of Fierro is , one of the most ccn siderable of the Canaries, and I conceive that name to be given it on this account—that its soil, not affording so much as a drop of fresh water, seems to be of iron, and indeed, there is in this island neither river, nor rivulet, nor well nor spring, save that only, towards the sea-eide, there era some wells; but they lie at such a distance from the city, that the inhab itants can make no use thereof. But the great Proservet and Attstainer of all, remedies this inconvenience by a way so extraordinary, that it man . thay be ['wed to sit down and acknowl edge that Ile gives in this, nn undeniable de monstration of his goodness and infinite Pro videnee. ' For, in the midst of this island, there is a tree which is the only on of the kind, inas much as it both no resemblance to those men tioned by us in this relation, nor to any other known to us in Europe. The leaves of it are long and narrow and continue in a constant verdure, winter and summer; and its branches aro covered with a cloud, which is never dis palled, but resolved into a moisture, which causes' to fall from its leaves a very clear -wa ter, and that in such abundance that the cis terns, which are placed at the foot of the tree to receive it are never empty, but contain enough to supply both man and beast.--Dfan delsio.

Is is rendered certain that :24.0-of those on board perished, having-been bwept overboard by the sea during the gale on the 23d of December, by which the VCSSCI was crippled. Among the lost were Major Taylor and wife, with Col.-Washington, Lieut. Smith, and Capt. Field. On board the bark Three Bella are 23Q ,t,f the saved; l'uoluding Major Wyse and Limit.

Taylor, are on board the brig liilby bound to Boston. Licut C. S. Winder and Lient Chandler are on board the shipAntartio, bound to Liverpool. All the troops saved aro divided between the three Teasels. The San Francisco remained afloat from the 23d ult„ until the sth of January, ' when she went down: Tho following additional particulars in re gard to the disaster to the steamer Sou Fran cisco are understood to be authentic: The steamer was caught In the gale of the night of the . 24th of December, (Saturday,) and disabled. Soon after, a heavy sea swept the decks, washing overbodr'd, and involving in immediate death nco hundred an iforty passen gers, including Col. T. M. Washington, Lieu tenant Smith, Capt. H. B. Field, and Major Taylor and wife. The wreck drifted about until January sth, when she was fallen in with in latitude 38 deg. long: 59 deg., by the ship Three Bells, from Glasgow, the bark Kilby for Boston, and the ship Annuli° for Liverpool, which vessels took off the crew and remaining passengers. G. IV. Aspinwall, Esq., of Philadelphia, was sa ved, end As ou board the bark Kilby. The Three Bells brings in 230 from the wreck. All •the spats end sails eine Steamer were blown away in the gale of the 25th, Christmas day, the engine stopped . working, the piston-rod breaking off, and thus leaving the vessel total ly unmanageable. The sea every moment struck her tremendous blows under her guards tearing up the plunking fore and aft, on both sides. At the sours time; the ship commenced to leak, when the troops were organized into bailing gangs. At ii o'clock, on the morning of the 25th, the sea struck amidships with terrible force, car rying away both the smoke stacks, all the ups: per saloon and staving in the quarter deck en tirely through, washing overboard a large num ber of passengers, including Col. Washington and others. (as mentioned above,) two ladies names unknown, in addition to the wife of Copt. Taylor, three civillians, natnes'also un known, and 150 United States troops. At the same moment, three persons—Brooks the wai ter, the barber of the boat and the Carpenter's brother, Mr. Duckett, were killed by the'crus- Ling cf the timbers. (Cu the 28th of_December,epoke the bark Kilby, of Boston, bound for New ,York, whe . lay by the wreck until 3 o'clock on the 26th, when the work of getting the passengers on board was , commenced. With considerable difficulty upwards of 100 persons got onboard the bark, men, women and children, including the officers above mentioned, with their fami lies, Copt. Judd and wife, Lieut. Fremont and family, G. W. Aspinwall, and J. L. Graham.— At night, the wind increasing, with squally weather, the Kilhy let go the hawser at 10 o'- clock, after which time nothing further was seen of the bark by those left on board of the wreck. The gale continued throughout the 30th and 31st, and a large number of the loon became perfectly exhausted, many sick and dying. On the morning of Sunday, Jan. Ist, eight days from the time the ship,was disabled, the despairing hearts of the hapless people on board were cheered by the British ship Three Bells, which, having been spoke, bore down for the wreck, and My by until 3 P. M., when-her bout came alongside. The same day, the ship Antartic, from New York for Liverpool, also bore down for the wreck, and en W. ,esday, the 4th inst., both ships cotnmencN' ~ ing off the passengers and , a large arnrum-„,lprovisions and water, and by sunset of the *3th all the passengers were removed from the wreck. Next morning the crew and officers of tin; ship were taken off.— Capt. Wa:kins being the last man to leave the San Francisco. The Three Bells brings 230 Fouls, including passengers, troops,, officers, and the seamen of tha steamer. Thera were eleven deaths among the crew of the atesmer from the time she was disabled to the Bth inst., including two washed overboard. It is said that after all liad left the San Fran cisco, she was scuttled, in order to remove the vessel from the way of passing vessels. The city papers of Monday bring additional particulars of this appalling disaster, from which we learn that in thirty-six short hours from the time of her departure, she was a wreck, and a large proportion of her company were hurried-inteeteraity; The piston-rod to, the air pump (to appearance an insignificaitt part of the machinery,) was the firist to give out, as the ship battled with a terrific gale. This caused the vessel to swing round, broad side to the mountainous sea then running, and she received blow after blow, that speedily re duced her to a wreck. The sails that had been firmly clewed to the yards, were snatched from their fastenings, the masts went over board, and filially a tremendous sea tore up the decks, and swept away everytl4g,,upun them, including not far front, one hundrekand fifty men, besides cattle, all the life-boats, Sc. Some, in despair, threw themselves into the One of the crow ef — the steamer states that Col, Washington was asleep in his statwoom when he was swept overboard and drowned, together with Major Taylor and wife, Capt. Field, Lt. Smith and others. He adds: -The staterooms swept away were immedi ately dashed in pieces, and their inmates thrown upon the billows. lie attempt was made to rescue any, for all efforts to this end --were useless. - Some of, the drowning men. grappled at splinters and boards for assistance; others swam until smothered or tired out, and many, without an effort, sunk beneath the sea. In that moment,- those still on beard themselves suffered all the horrors of (lath. Some had relatives, and all had friends- and acquaintan6es struggling in the waves. Each tried to shut his eyes, heart and ears to every thing around him, momentarily expecting to — join the drowning soldiers. It front his statement, that during this frightful storm, many kept their spirits up by partaking freely of brandy and water, of which there was much.on board, and some, he says, owe their Hies to the moderato use of ardent spirits. AU that day, the ship was expected to 'go doWn every, minute, but-in the evening, Capt. Watkins commander of the ship, who conduct-. ed himself with great bravery, directed the officers to keep the. privates ; bailing water at tho engine room, Loping to make the pimps work. Incredible labors were here performed. For the first' two days and, nights the men worked incessantly, and during tour days with trifling intermission. The engineers worked night and day,, trying to get the Fillips, in motion, - Whenever the wind, increased, baling was; continued mate actively: Finally,' nil hands became completely exhausted, and many worn sick. ;However the water was got un der, as the gale - abated, and efforts were 'made to lighten thi3 ship and stop the leaks. -Hope revived. • • - On tho 20t If, 1;I' sail was descried; which proVed to be the brig "Napoleon."

After the-Kilby left, rulffitiobal horrors came upon them; for the ship repeatedly taking fire was threatened with destruction from that source. But. happily, this danger was averted. Thro'- out these trying times, many of tite - ifficers and men behaved heroically. On the morning of the Slot another ship was .discovered to be in sight. They were, he wev• cr, unable to communicate with her until the morning of the 2d of Jannary, owing to the fury of the gale, but she magnanimously stood by for three days. The was an English ship, the Three Bells. On the morning of the 3d, the American ship Antartic hove in view, and the hour of deliverance seemed to be near.— These two vessels tools all that were left on the 'wreck after the Eilby departed. The Antar tic continued her voyage to Liverpool, whither site wts' bound taking about 180 officers and men, nneon Friday afternoon last at 5 o'clock, the Three Bells, with' 230 .officers and men, reached the Battery at New York, On Sethi% day evening the ship Lu'ey 'Thompson 'arrived at New York, bringing nearly all the passen gers rescued by the bark Kilby, except the rife of Major Wyse. They nod suffered se-' verely on the Kilby, owing Ito the ship being leaky, crippled and short of provisions. It is feared the Kilby has been driven out to sea a-. gain and a steamer has been despatched to her relief. On Saturday afteonoon to meeting of mer chants of New York was held in the Exchange, and resolutions were passed, expressing the sense entertained of the generous and heroic Conduct of the captains of the ships Three Bells and Antarctic, and bark Kilby, and pro viding.that a piece of plate should be presen ted to each as a testimonial of their magnan imous conduct. It was also resolved that a petition he presented to Congress, asking that the losses on insurance by the commanders and owners of these vessels may .be indemni fied by the government. The N. Y. papers of Monday state that the bark Kilby, which was blown out to sea after transferring the passengers she had taken from the wreck. has been fallen in with by the row boat Leviathan, some distance outside of Sandy !look. The Kilby Was in tow of the steamer City of New York, for Boston, Where she belongs. I= j . t.,The United States mail steamer Baltic arrived at New York, on Thursday evening, after a passage of fifteen days, having soiled from Liverpool on the 2.Sth of December, and encountered severe weather oif her passage.— Her newsis four days later,and is of stirdag importance. The indications on all hands are that the Czar is 'preparing for a general war. The Gov ernments of England and France are trying still to patch hp the'quarrel, but kgeneral war is considered inevitable. Lord Palmerston's return to the Cabinet is considered a sign that Great Britain intends to display more energy and less fear of bringing mutters to a crisis. The Emperor of -France scents quite willing to not, if Great Britain is 6isposed to do so. It is said in the Belgian papers that he hashrought the question gefot e tbe English Cabinet in suoh- , precise terms, that shifting or neutrality. is no longer posstble. The attacks in the English papers against Prince Albert, daily gain strength, The French papers state that Admiral Ha melin, the Commander of the French fleet, has had orders sent hint to prevent the Russians from disembarking troops on the coast of the Black sea;. and also to signify to the Russian il i dtairal, through the medium of an EnrOy with a Ylag of truce who will be sent to 'Sebastopol, that he is interdicted _from putting to sea. It is expected that the nest Constantinople mail, will bring the news of the entrance of the fleet into the Black sea. Up to. the 15th, this had not taken place. A telegraphic des patch of the 15th, from Constantinople, says: —The Shah of P,.. : rsia has formally declared war to Turkey, at 'the instigation of Russia. There are reports that an army of 40,000 Per sians'arc marching towards Aftglianistan. Russi'an emmissaries and Russian armies are rousing the nations of inner Ash, the Persi ans, the Afghans, and all the enemies of En gland. Thus they are pr4ifing a descent of barbarians on the British possessions in India, It is said that the . Russian expedition against is only at five leagues distance from Urgentli; the capital of the Kitanat, and should -tdroy•nucceeclin — taking it, the prestige of the Russian arms, which has already induced the Shah of Perain, to declare war against Tomboy, and, ati it is reported, even against England, will overawo_alLtinartar_ancLTurkotuan_ States from the Chinese wall to the frontiers of Hindostan. I The steamer Europa arrived at Now York on Monday with three days later intelligence from Europe. The Eastern question is still involved in doubt,,kut the fact is established that the question of re or war lies with Russin, and not with T rkey. The rpost friend ly understanding exists between the PoVe and the rekresentatives of the Four Powers. The allied fleets were still in the Bosphorus. Qu the 15th the Four Powers preseuted a note to the Porte demanding an artilstice.
