fco r TUESDAY MORNING FEBRUARY 1

Local and Miscellaneous. Canal Mextikq To-Night. Let every citizen who feels an interest in the preservation of the canal be present at the meeting at the Court, House this evening. A convention rs to be held at Indianapolis today of delegates from communities along the entire line of the canal. Judge Foster will be present from this city, and will arrange to telegraph the results of the deliberation of the convention so that they may be laid before the meeting here this evening. We learn that the committee appointed at the last meeting have prepared a report and the project of a bill which the Legislature will be asked to pass. There will be an interesting discussion, aud the meeting ought to carry the weight of numbers in the resolves it shall adopt. ' Attempted RobbickY. An Irishman by the name of James Maginniss was committed to jail yesterday by. Justice Walker, in dofault of $300 bail, fur attempting to rob Father DedR-r on Saturday night hist. The Irishman caught hold of Father Dedier by both arms and demanded sufficient money to pay for his lodging. The old man struggled to get fre, and others being attracted by the noise, the Irishman let go. Being erdered to jail seemed to afford satisfaction to the poor drunken creature, as he was, at least, sure of lodging and something to eat there. ggyFor several days past the weather has been more like spring than January. The feeding of winter almost departs as we are greeted by the bright sunshine and warm, pleasant atmosphere. Our thoroughfares assume a livelier appearance, and invite forth the gentler sex in all their beauty and brilliancy. It seems as if we only need green grass, blossoms, and birds in days like these, to be enjoying the glories and fullness of early summer. The body of Josephine Ellison, the yoiing woman burned to death in a house on Western Row in Cincinnati last Tuesday night, Wiis stolen from the gravj on Thursday night by three men, who were proceeding with it to the Eclectic Medical College, but were overhauled by the police and arrested. The penalty for removing the dead from their graves is a fine not exceeding "$1,000, and imprisonment in the county jail not over six months. .The number of people soliciting charity is evidently on the increase i n this city. Honsekeepers and others are called . upon frequently half a dozen) times during one day, by beggars asking for money and clothes, or "cold wittles." Andy Humphrey, Esq., of Green county, has received the appointment of Indiana Agent for Utah Territory, and his appointment has been confirmed. BL. Lieut. Gov. Hamm ond is severely ill with an attack of typhoid fever. BL The ice has almost disappeared entirely from the canal. fiÖS" Hay is selling in this market at $1G per ton. The Penalty of Avarice. Among the passengers on a New Orleans steamer at the wharf a day or two since, was a sharp-visaged solemn-looking individual, with an immensity of shirt-collar aud clerical neck-tie, and whose general appearance seemed to indicate that he was a distributor of religious tracts and pious deeds.

f He had only a short time before the boat

reached Evansvillo made the acquaintance ', of a lot of gamblers who were aboard, and who had victimized him in a pretty round sum, and also fleeced him of a valuable watch, which caused him suddenly to find

i himself a long ways from home, among . strangers and penniless. It appears the man I resided in Massachusetts, the natives of I which commonwealth aro usually looked I upon as being sufficiently up to the ways of I the world to take care of No.. 1. He had ; been induced to engage in the selling of Sumps, and in order to raise the necessary funds, had mortgaged his house and lot for

the small sum of $100 He left his family behind and started for Holly Springs, Miss., the point to which he expected to have his

. maps consigned. Arriving at Cincinnati, I he took a boat for Memphis, and got along I s.uoothly in his travels until a social game I of cards was introduced for amusement ot I course, which soon changed to one of those ! swindling games so often played upon the unwary traveler, who is imprudent enough to be inveigled into a bet upon the result. The excitement once up, bets ran high, hun-

I; dreds of dollars changed hands, and the I spectators became interested, and crowded I around the players. Conspicuous among I the latter was the Yankee map pedlar, who, I seing the gold upon the table, became in

fatuated with the desire to possess it. He was sure be could win, and so expressed himself; but upon being bantered to bet, refused. The game proceeded, the stranger's excitement became more and more manifest, and he was again importuned hy the parties to l et, but still declined, stating, at the same time, that be was a member of the church, never gambled in his life, and could not afford to lose his money. A few more turns of the cards, however, and he could withstand the temptation no longer. He went in, staked all his money, which did not size the dealer's pile added his watch to make up the defect, aud lost. As soon as the unsophisticated gentleman comprehended the result of his first essay at the card table, he was changed to' the very image of distress aud despair. He declared that the result was totally unexpected that he -had lost every cent he possessed, that he was more than a thousand miles from home.

and, in short, that he was a ' ruined ind

vidual. His story was related most piteous- , ly, and his conduct was that of one who had met with an irreparable loss, laking the gambler who had possession of his money and watch to one side, he lagged of him to return the samo, or at least the money and keep the watch. The gambler demurred to the innocent request as being entirely foreign to his mode of doing business. After repeating the story of his situation to the man f cards, with the hope of moving his sympathy, the latter inquired of his victim what profession he followed for a living. The man informed him that he was aboutj engaging in the sale of maps. " Indeed 1 " replied the the imperterable sharper. " Pon my word I took you to be a Methodist local preacher " which was all the satisfaction the poor fellow got for the los3 of his watch and money.- By this time he has donbtles3 learned that the card table upon a Western steamboat is not the place tor a man to" fill a depleted purse or to get back lost money. Tub Redcctios im Coal. All the miners at Hawesvillc and Cauheltoiiare selling coal to steamers for six cents a bushel, with a fair prospect that competition may carry it still lower. One of our miliars is offering to place good coal in Hat-bouts at b cents per bushel. The extent of relief afforded by the Almshouse establishment in New York is indicated by the fact that there were 1600 applications for admission .and out-door relief from the 1st to the 17lh of January.; Invalids tl"oicn.

SV THE K. W. LLVE. CONGRESSIONAL.. ; . Washington, Jan. 31 m. Sesate. Many unimportant memorials, reports, and bills were introduced. Bigler introduced the following important resolution, asking for its consideration to-morrow, or as early as possible. Resolved, That in the opinion of the Senate, the creation of a larce public debt intime of peace, is inconsistent with the policy of the United States, and ns the present revenues are lnsumcient to meet the unavoidable expenses of the government, Congress should proceed without dela' to so re-adjust the revenue laws as not only to meet the deficit in the current expenses, but to pay off the present debt so far as it may be desirable to immediato cancela tion. , . Slidell attempted to bring up the Cuba resolutions, and after a discussion as to whether precedence should he awarded to it . or' Mr. Hunter's Indian appropriation bill. . Seward expressed the readiness of himself and his party to meet the gentlemen, on the other side. Both were over-ridden by the previous arrangement that Mr. Foote should have the floor ou the Walker Paulding resolu tion. Foot, of Vt., commenced by offering as a substitute for the committee's report aud for the President's statement, that Commodore Paultling committed . a grnve error, a resolution to the effect that as Commodore Paulding rescued Walker and his followers on Nicaraguan soil, for the benefit of Nicaragua, and with her assent, since thankfully expressed, he is entitled to the commendation of his countrymen. , ...,.. The ground Foot took was that Geueral Walker's expedition being illegal aud so; considered by this Coverument, Commodore Paulding acted commendably without the spirit of his instruction in suppressing it, inasmuch as our jurisdiction follows the flag wherever it tloats, and all under' it are responsible thereto.

" The report of the Committee on Patents epeaks of the great utility of the iuiprovoments, the profits from which have been remunerative to the inventor. , :' ' ,: ' " . Washburn, of 111 asked whether the patent had been in existence- twenty-one years, and whether it did not expire a year and a half ago, and whether the effect of the bill was not to make private what is now public property. Eddie replied that the- report stated all the facts but one, and that this he was willing to repeat. The motion to suspend the rules was disagreed to--yes 82, nays 85. A two-third vote being necessary. Stephens moved a suspension of the rules iu order to introduce a resolution setting apart the 8th, 9th and 10th of February, for the consderation of territorial business.

Washikuton, Jan.' 31 (i Senate The instructions were equivocal ;u?tn timpfiml nlflf nrirl tho miinnerof execut ing the order must necessarily be left to i circumstances. He did tho very thing he ! was ordered to do. He broke up an unlaw- j ful expedition, saved Nicaragua from repine and bloodshed ; and sustained the honor of I his country. If Capt. Chatard did wrong I in not nreventin-r (Jen. Walker from land- I 1 mg, commodore rauiaing am rigni in moving tuern, when landed, besides to interfere with them within tho waters of San Juan, would have been as much an in fringement of the jurisdiction of Nicaragua as arresting them on the shore. In short, he executed, in a plain, practicable, common sense way, the professed object of his instructions, and it is humiliating to see this Government before the . world disavowing, on verbal quibbles, the acts of its subordinates, in carrying out orders so vague and ill-defined that no one can understand them ; whether purposely made vague, he would uot inquire, but the impression that the Cabinet at Washington winked at the expedition, is strengthen .1 by Gen. Walker's having been brought to the presence of the Executive, graciously discharged and told to goat large, unwhipped of justice, instead of being handed over to the tribunals as a fillibuster and sent to the penitentiary. The words of the President, that Commodore Paulding had committed a grave error, seems to cover the chagrin which he must not at all expiess , but yet, cannot all conceal. Mr Footesiidhe, personally, knew' but little of Commcdore Paulding, but from the pajiers before hiui, he had formed a favorable opinion of him, both as .an oflicer; and man. He would not go the length of his friend froui Wisconsin, to vote him a sword, or a medal, but would be what would be more accept ible to a man of his ' stamp, the recognition of a gallant and faithful servant of the Republic . . . Mr. Crittenden, of Ky., followed to show that Commodore Paulding committed no error whatever. What would have been of him if he had sheltered hirutelf behind the letter of his instructions, and failed to prevent thö filibusters ? ' The spot Commodore Paulding landed ou w:is uot Nicaragua's. It had lK-en conquered and was held by the strong hand; and the sovereignty of Nicaragua had been already displaced; so, if any neutrality was violated, it was Walker's, and the attack on him was the arrest of juslice upon a criminal. There is no broach of neutrality, when a country is entered with the consun t of its government. Finally, Crittenden, a au American citizen, thanked Commodore Paulding for the bold and heroic manner in which he fulfilled his duty, and preserved the peace of the world. . Hunter made another attempt to bring up the Indian appropriation bill. Doolittle urged the continuance of the debate. ' " " ' . Seward had not coincided with his friend from Wisconsin. Doolittle, in the resolution, to bestow a medal on Com. Paulding because bethought he had made himself a place in history, but as an act of justice, he would bow propose by joint resolution that the President be directed to intervene for the defense of Com. Paulding, in the suits brought against , him arising from the performance of his known duty. ' , ' r Hunter here succeeded in calling up the Indian appropriation bill by a vote .of 22 to 16. Trumbull, of Illinois, introduced a bill to regulate the practice in the U. S. Circuit Courts, and also a bill authorizing the Circuit Court to issue writs of mandamus. Referred to the Judiciary Committee. Seward, of New lork, introduced a reso lution requiring the Secretary of the Interior to prepare, before the next meeting of Congress, a detailed list ot all the rejected aud suspended patents, and why rejected. Referred to Committee on Patents. Communications were received from the President, transmitting the balance of the list of claims against Foreign Governments. Also, the report of the Commission to Frazer River, and a recommendation of an appro priation of $7,000 to repay Gov. Douglas of Vancouver's Island, for money loaned for public purposes ; also, transmitting statistcs of the trade with Africa, in compliance with Mr. Seward s recommendation. Broderick, of Cal., presented a petition from California for a tri-weekly overland mail. Mallorcy, of Florida, from the Naval Committee made a report relative to increas ing the efhciency of the Navy. The report says the experience of the English navy have demonstrated that sail ing ships of war are now being absolute, sails being mere auxiliaries to steam.

House. -An ineffectual effort was made to set apart a day for the consideration of the bill quieting certain titles to land in Maine,' in order to carry out a provision in the treaty of Washington. On motion of Mr. Phelps of Mo., the House on and after Wednesday next, will meet at eleven, instead of twelve in the morning. - Kilgore asked leave to introduce the fol lowing: Whereas, The laws prohibiting the Af rican slave trade, have become a topic of discussion with the newspaper writers aud political agitators, many of them, boldly denouncing these laws as unwise in policy and disgraceful iu their provisions, and in sisting on the justice aud propriety of their repeal and the revival of the odious traffic in African slaves, and Wheeea3, Recent demonstrations afford strong reasons to suppose that the said laws are to be set at defiance, and their violation oiienly countenanced and encournjred bv a portion of the citizens of some of the States of the L nion ; and Whereas, It is proper "in view of said facts the sentiments of the people's Repre sentatives in Congress should be made pub lic in relation thereto, therefore Jiesolved, 'laut while we recognize no right on the part of the Federal Govern ment or any other law making power, save that of the States wherein it exists, to in terfere with or disturb the institution of domestic slavery where it is established and protected by S'ate legislation, we do hold that Congress has the power to prohibit the foreign traffic, and that no legislation can be too thorough in its measures, nor can any penalty known to the catalogue of punish ments of crime be too severe against a traf fic so inhuman and unchristian. Resolved, That the laws in force against the slave trade are founded upon the broadest principles of philanthropy religion and humanity ; that they should remain unchanged, except so far as legislation may be he'd to render them more efficient, and that they should be faithfully and promptly executed, by ourGovernmeut,and respected by all good citizens. Resolved, That tho Executive should be sustained and commanded for any proper efforts whenever and wherever made, to enforce said laws, to bring to speedy punishment the wicked violators thereof and all their aiders and abettors.

The John Bell is running in the St. Louis trade. A Louisville and St. Louis packet is now a rara avis. Wo should suppose, however, that there was business enough to support one good boat. It appears that the name of the unfortunate craft that blew up above Smithland, is the Walter Forward, an old, worn-out, dilapidated little tow-tub from Tittsburg, recently sold to parties up the Tradewater. The humane crew of the Jacob Traber rendered efficient service to the scalded, and are deserving of the highest praise for their noble conduct. The Greenville came in from Green river Sunday evening with a fair load. The fine packet Charley Bowen leaves today for Paducah, Cairo, and all intermediate places. The John Raine passed down yesterday. She took a lot of freight from here. Business on the wharf was active all day yesterday, and the numerous boats that arrived found plenty of freight. The St. Nicholas went up as far as Xewburgh on Sunday, but returned yesterday. The Alvin Adams on her last trip up discharged 110 bales of cotton at Cannelton. The hull of the old steamer Duke has been purchased by Mr. Webb, of Leavenworth, who intends making a wharf-boat of her at the above place. ' Capt.
