Air. Sumner then secured the floor. House.—The Speaker laid before the House a letter from the Scicretary . of the interior, with• reference to the bill z yroposing to grant bountyiand to the soldiers ivho served in the war,of 1812. , He says it would requiro.olghty three_millionsLaormorlandrand-for-the-issu ing of over five hundred thousand warrants, it would employ , the whole. bounty land clerical faille of the government for nine years. , Mr. Florence said that before action was had upon ,the bill,'he wanted time to eiamine the Sec retary's letter. In committee of the whole, ' , Mr. Ewing, of By. spoke on the Nebraska - question. His main object was to show that Mr. Clay never supported the Missouri line, but always repudiated it. Ha read from the ;speech of Mr. Clay, of 1850, to show-that be was net the author-of that line, and that it did not originate in the House of which he was then a member. Senator Thomas of Illinois, was its author. Mr. Clay did not know wheth er he voted for it not. Ho was speaker then. It., did not, however, accomplish the purpose intended. The very' next year the North op posed-. She. admission of Missouri; in this dif fioult! Mr. • Clay offered the Compromise, which accomplished the admission of Missouri into the Union, and settled the Slavery ques tion. WASHINGTON; Feb. 21 Sinat!:—After some preliminary business the Senate resumed the consideration of the Nebraska bill. . ' - Mr. Sumner, of Mass., took the floor, ‘ and made an able_and eloquent speech ha opposi tion. to the bill_ He spoke for three hours, and waslistened to with great attention. His exordium, was very beautiful. He regarded the' question ris momentous. It had not been surpassed by any an grandeur and im portance since the declaration of independence. It concerned an immense and.rich country now guarded-against the introduction of slavery by the Missouri Compromise, but which compro mise it was proposed to set aside for the pur pose-of extending slavery. Our country stood alone in the community of nations, in assum bag the ehnmpionship of slavery. He replied to the argument of Mr, Petit with reference to the inequality of the white and colored robes; and also to the views adduced by Mr. Badger, . that a farther distribution of slavery would prove beneficial, both of which positions ho strongly Controverted. - He-then-entered ihto no elaborate argument to show what the Missouri Compromiue was, by whiim it was enacted, and the nature of the compact thereby formed between the North ern--and the Southern States. It excluded slaiery. forever from all territory lying north of 86 deg. 80, except in the-territory of Mil soma. , Then, entering into a detailed history Of the question, he said.there had been at that time great excitement upon the admission of the State of Missouri into the Union. The North wanted slavery 'exoluded, while the SCiith was-in favor of its tixteusion. Mr. Picklic.9, of Maryland, had spoken' ably upon the question, and had thought there ought to be a compromise. Senator Thomas, of 1111- & ..4 is,:then proposed a compromise line, and Lab now constitutes theafight section of the 'fill fouri act. The measure prevailed in the Salute' by-a vote of 34 to 10, both Senators from six slave States voting for it. The dou ble measure,, restricting slavery north' of 86 deg..3o, and admitting the State of Missouri with slavery, passed the Senate by a votq of 84 to 20. every Southern Senator, with the exception of two, and four Northern Senators, voting for it. The measure was supported in the Hopes by Southern votes, and was finally passed' by the Committee of Conferences ap pointed by a Vice President from the South in the Senate, and Henry Clay as speaker in the House, It was approved by President Mon'. roe, and the unanimous opinioh of his Cabinet, with Messrs. Adams, Crawford, Thompson, Calhoun; and Wirt, and a majority of South ern men;-was that it was in no. ise unconsti tutional. In conclusion, Mr. Sumner appOolei to Southern Senators to keep inviolate the com promise they had made, and to oppose every measure tending to give new. life and food to agitation. .louse.—The Homestead hill was under dis cussion, and Mr. Dent, of Georgia,gpoke agahist. it as unfair and unjubt. He said be would bestow tho public lands upon none except those who fought for them. • He was opposed to all grants to rail roads and to pose who were too lazy to work. Mr. Grow, of Pa. spoke in fa it& of the 1411 . . 'Mr. Smith, of Va. followed against it. Mr. Dawson olosed the debate, in favor'of the bill. The committee rose and re ported the bill to the House. The bill grant= ing bounty land to the soldiers of the war of 1812, 'was: then again taken up, the question pending being a !notion to lay the subjeot on the table. it was on motion . interred to the COnunittee'of the !hole on the State of thii ' IV4 MINGTON, Neither' Home of Congress was in session to-clay, having 'adjourned over in honor of the anniveranly.orthe..birth of the "Father of his eouittry.'!; WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 Senate.—Mr. Sumner presented the creden tials, pf,Mr. Feesentien, the newly elected Sen ator from Maine, and Mr. / P. - was qualified and. teok;hitt seat.: A number of rersonstrafies , Were presented 'by - Messrs.

Considerable discussion' ensued and the bill was finally referred. Tho death of Gen. Robert Armstrong, Printer to Congress, was then announced, and the Ronde adjourned to Monday. WABITINaToN, Feb. 25 Senate.—Several petitions were presented nod disposed of. Mr. Cass rend from Earl Clarendon'espeeoh in the British Parliament, intimating that the Anglo French alliance ex -tends to Western as well n's Enaterixaffairs.— Mr. Cass said that this dearly ; means an alli ance designed to check our national aggran dizement by the acquisition of Cuba. Ho hoped that the Committee on Foreign Rela tions would be prepared ,to recommend some notion declaratory , of our determination not Permit such an interference. Mr. Mason said that we Lad notice in the Tripartite treaty cor respondence that ,England and France design- Oil - -to prevent ,oiir acquisition of Cuba. Mr. Bell--How have we profited by the,notice ? Mr. Mason—By keeping perfectly quiet, as we should. lie thought that there was noth: ing for us to,do until the interference aetual ly occurs. What would the Senator from Michigan do? Mr. Cass read Mr. Church well's non-intervention resolutions, offered in tho House some weeks ago, and said that he would pass them, and deolarillty" rights in the family of nations to stand by them in all extremities. The Senate then resumed the consideration of the territorial bill. Mr. But ler having the floor, concluded his speech in favor of the bill, and the Senate then adjourn ed. The House is not in session to-day. IVArlinNoToN, Fob. 27 Senate—Great numbers of petitions against Nebraska wereopresented. A number of rail, road grants of lands passed.. The Nebraska bill was then taken up. Mr. Chase moved an amendment providing for the election of Gov. ernor and other officers. Mr. Case spoke at length, defining his position on the subject generally, and announcing he would vote for the bill. Mr. Cooper of Pa. said he would neoessarily be :absent for some days, and was compelled to avail himself of this late hour to express his views. This wan a measure fraught with evil, Its passage would revive all the agitation and excitement before experienced on the slavery question. Its passage might not be followed nt the North by- violent out break or resistance to the laws, but it would nevertheless produce a deeper and more uni versal reprobation than any other act could possibly do. The House proceedings were unimportant. 11. 8. AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—The 11. S. Agricul tural Society met this morning, at 10 o'clock, in the hall of the Smithsonian Institute. There were over ;one hundred members present, rep resenting twenty different States. The Presi dent then proceeded to deliver the annual ad dress. The address recommends the appoint ment of Commissioners to visit and report upon the exhibitions of the several State Agricul tural Societies—the holding of exhibitions by the Society, either alone or 'in concert With other assooiatione—the appointment of a per manent editor of the Society's Journal—an application to Congress ler an appropriation, and suggests that this Society, through Its officers, members and auxidaries, might per form the duties now ditioharged i by the Agri cultural Department•of the Patent Office. He recommends -that committees be appointed to report upcn these Tarioue_reooramendations, The, debates which followed on various ques tions, Nero animated and interesting. nerThe.

We learn:frorafarrisburg that both branches of the Legislature have accepted an invitation to be pretient at the grand Consolidation Ca libration in Philadelphia 'on the 10th of March. The House hashadthe prohibitory liquor bill under dispassion, but little prtigrese has beeli Made toward its passag. The indicattone are that no bill will be passed. The bill for the, sale of the Public Works passed in committee the whole in the Senate yesterday. The House has twice negatived the bill providing permanent sessions of the Supreme Court at Harrisburg. WAR PROSPECTS IN EUROPE. The news by the Bettie smells strongly Of gunpowder. The Russian Ministers have re tired from the Courts of Victoria and Louis nip°leon t and on the instructions were sent to General Castlebnjar and Sir Geo. Seymour, the Envoys of Franco and Great Britain at St. Petersburg, to suspend diplo matic intercourse with the Muscovite govern ment. This is the "knocking the chip off the shoulder," and the blow rink. - 'low' unless Nicholas shows the white or has an apoplectic fit. France is busy preparing transports, and England has chartwd several steamers to forward moaned munNons to the assistance of Turkey:- - Tee Baltic - byte be oc - 1' cupied by an English fleet, while the Meditter ranean will. swarm with allied vessels. We see no ray of light betokening peace amid the din canopy of warlike preparation. The-rat tling arum; the roar of artillery; the crash of -meeting legions, the wail of agony and the groans of the dying, must be the music of the people of Etirope, while her diplomatists call out the figures in the dance of Death! We re fer to our extended extracts from foieign pa pers for/later news in detail. - lite_The Harrisburg Union is "down" on the Canal Commissioners for granting free tickets over the State Railroads to the clergY. men. It says that "as a class, the average - Al' ility of clergymen to pay their fare, is equal to other classes of our citizens." But how about the "free tickets" to delegates to Loco foco State Conventions, Members of Legisla ture, and Locofooo politicians in'general t It is notorious that nearly every prominent Lo cofoco politician in the State travels over the public works at the expense of the people.— The difference between them and "clergymen' lies not so much in the ability, "to pay," as hi the ability to control influence for or against the Canal Board. Mn. BucnANAN.--11 - umors were rife In Washington that the government had advice' from Mr. Buchanan; our Minister to England, - announcing his intention to return home very shortly, on account of his 'treatment by Eng lis'h officials in the matter'of his recent refusal to go en costume to the'llouse of Lords at the opening of Parliament, if he went at all.

TILE LANCASTER PENSION FRAUDS The Lancaster Express of Saturday last, states :that -Messrs. 'Ford, Vondersmith and ; Evans, who' were recently arrested for frauds on- the Pension Bureau at - Washington, have absconded froni that city. The Express adds: It MS generally expected that some astound,- log developeniontslwould be made neat week' in the:trial of, Yondersmith, Ford dinl Evans, before tifelincted States District Court, on the Charge of - defrauding' the PensiOn Bureau.— There is no doubt that these frauds.have run through' many years, involving thousands of dollars, and it wee expected tha he testimo ny - in the . ease would have point to other parties whose social positions hat far Wel ded them from suspicion. But tever de velopments might have been made not-stow be brought to ,light, for the very good reason' that the gevernment will find itself ready to proceed with the trial next week without bay- Mg Alm prbioners ~to arraign. During the I week they hove disappeared , from . Lancaster, and are satitto bo.far on their way to Europe by, this time. Vondersmitb and Ford' were Under bail in $7,000 each, and Aid. Evans in $5,000. ,It is.probable ,the question will bo raised In the'Distriot Court next week, wheth er Judge 'Long was justified in interposing the habeas corpus in-this case, and howler this interferencellith the Marshal in the discharge of his duty-resulted, in the escape of, the ac cused. Had_the Marshal been ,permitted to take the parties before the 11. S. Commission er, it is not likely-that they would have been 'let off with so light a surety. The Philadelphia. Ledger says: 1 . " The sum total of which the Government, it 'is alleged, has been defrauded, is said to be upwards of $70,000, of which Judge Yonder smith is alleged to have been:the principal re ceiver—his supposed share being full two thirds. The names of the females used to per petrate the frauds in the cases which hays thus far been investigated, aro : Mrs. Susan Long, Margaret" Lytle, Magdalena Russel, Rebecca Hurley, EVlVCallegban, Margaret Hartman, Maria Gray, Juliana Parker, Christiana Wat.- sou, and Jane Winners.

In this 'matter, ho remarked, Carlisle was decidedly behind, the age. Every' ay gave additional proof that the hotel atoommodations of our town are not suf ficient for the many, who particularly in the summer season, seek our beautiful and heal thy locality as a place of sojourn, but who cannot secure such accommodations as they desire. He earnestly appealed to our citizens to take the matter in hand, and with the oth er adinirable enterprises which are now in pro. gross, of supplying Water and Gas, to delay no longer in securing the erection of a new Hotel. The remarks of the Rev. gentleman on, this point were received with the most de cided manifestations of acquiescence and ap proval by hie audience, and we trust the mat •ter thus started will not be allowed to rest. Without any-disparagement to the well-kept pnblio houses now in our place, we may say that a flaw Hotel, combining the many modern improvements, eleganoies and conveniences, which have introduced a now era in Hotel is greatly needed in our borough: That the project would pay, if not extravagantly carried out, there is no reasonable doubt. It has been much discussed in private circles, end we should rejoice to hear of efficieot stops toward -consummating the plan.' The Coixtlnentale Decidedly the finest musical entertainments ever offered to our community were those by the "Continental", troupe of Vocalists, who gait) . Concerts in Marion Hall, on Wednesday and Friday evenings Inst.:— The Hall was crowded to overflowing at the last Concert, and sincere togret was expressed that these accomplished and gentlemanly Vocalists could not be induced to remain . longer in our town. Their 'singing delighted all who heard them, while their gentlemanly demeanor made the most favorable impression. They promise to Visit us again ooe n, and we can assure'them oiy citizens will greet them with a cordial -welcome. Anniversary Address Our talented and excellent friend, It. P.

Mr Clemens was introduced to Mr- Harris, who declined replying. 'The introdu ction was unsolicited:' Mr. Clemens retorted. HaWis rejoined angrily, when Mr. C. drew a revolver -and struck Harris heavy blow on the head; cutting it dangerously, felling •him to the ground.

The British sucl - Fteneh'Vnisteisto RtisSiti have - been er ,ler'ed. to 1en.14 Ri';'Peterabitri, and _the Russian repreeetitaoMr4L'ontloki and,Fcris, have also set out 'for home.

Ralf of the British Revenue force hos been transferr led to the Navy. The Emperor of Franco, at a recent . disoussion at the Tuilleries expressed the necessity of vigorous preparations for war. ITtnidonse Orders for arms and ammunition are being expected. The latest news from the seat of war 'on the Danube represents that. Omey Paella has effeoted most important move ments, having crossed the Danube with 50,000 men and divided the Russian Army's right wing, which is at Krajova. THREE DAYS LATER PREPARATIONS FOR WAR GOING ON— NEGOTIATIONS FOR PEACE. The Steamship Europa:arrived at New York on Saturday, with three days later advices from Europe. The news is not as important as, was anticipated, being of the same general character as'that brought by the previous Sr. rival. The warlike preparations by England and Franco, however, are still in active pro gruel. The Liverpool grain market had ma terially declined, owing in a groat measure to a falling 9ff in the speculative demand, and prices for the week had given way one shilling on flour, two shillings on corn, and three pence on wheat. , England and Franco continue to make no five preparations for the prosecution of the ' war in the East. ,yhe Turkish Cabinet has been dismissed, and ono in favor of a compro mise with Russia formed. A despatch from Vienna, says that Count Orloff left-on the Bth for St. Petersburg, taking with him the pea tive assurance that Austria and Prussia would remain neutral. Although the Russian Envoy offered to give up the pretension to that with Turkey alone, his new propositions were re acted. The English Ambassador was very . .positive. in consequence of express instruo , tione from home od the subjedt r According.AO Gen. Schilder's report to the Russian Embassy, the army of occupation is in a pitiable oondition,tho original corps being 85.000 men-weaker than - when - it crossed the Pruth in July. A despatch from Vienna, of Wednesday morning says, negotiations rot-Peace are said to be still going on. St. Peterattnrg despatches of Feb. Ist have keen received 'in Paris. The excitement was very great. The war party was very enthusi astic, and the peace party anxious. Nothing had transpired in official circles. The Empe ror was suffering from an attack of bile, ac companied by fever. - The London Times understands that three battalions of the Quards,with_six_regiments of the line, are under orders to embark for the Mediterranean on the 19th of the present month. Their destination in the first instance will probably be Malta. The. Tinies also states in a leading article, that the present state of the Eastern question is this: "If the German Powers, and in par; iicular Austria, adhere to their engngemeuts with the Western States, the chances of peace are small, but war, if it - breaks one, would be limited in extent, and short in duration. If on the contrary, it should unhappily turn out that Russia has overpowered the independent:a and sounder policrof the German States, war is not only inevitable, but it must assume a more general and aggravated character. On this vital point it is absolutely essential that all-Uncertainty.be removed with the least pos sible delay." The Herald reports that the number of troops to he sent by England to Turkey will be 10,000 and more will be held in readiness would they be required. The following will probably sail on the 18th; Bth, 28th and 35th battalions of t,' , e Guards; the 79th regiment of foot, the 2d battalion of titles, and 4 compa nies of military. In every department of the public service the most warlike preparations are going on. From France we also learn that warlike preparations continue to be made on the most extensive scale. The work goes unceasingly by day and night. At the military schools the troops are exercised in operations of ntttaok, the passage of rivers, &c, The combined fleets re-entered the Black Sea on the 28th. Military operations in Asia suspended. A vast conspiracy to raise nu in surrection among the Greeks on the banks of the Danube had been discovered. Four hun dred insurgents have sworn to diem defence of-the-Cross und-the Greek Church. A can - guinary action has taken place near Guirgeon, with great loss on both sides. Three thou sand Turks Massed the Danube, drove in the Russian advanced posts, attacked the town, and than retired. Letters from the Danubian Principalities give, deplorable picture of the misery which exists among the agricultural population, who are torn by the invaders from their homes in order to transport troops, build barracks, and to perform other' forced duties.' The distress of a portion of the WMlll64l[l pop.ulation-il_Lict great that they einignite In masses into the Austrian or Turkish provinces, or, take np arms to resist the outrages of which they are • made the victims. 'ln relation to China and East Indies, there were advices from Shanghai to December 17th, and Amoy to-the 24th. Canton and Ningpo remained quiet. Matters had resumed their Mm] course at -Ateoy.
