THE TIMES.

RiDicii.ors. The correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot narrates the following flurry, as liaving occurred in the U. S. Senate, Dec. 27. "Mr. Allen, of Ohio, got himself into a i4bad box"' I am told, for I did not witness tbe "scene." In the course of one of his speeches, Mr.Clay had occasion to allude to Ohio, and very correctly remarked that the opinions and feelings of a State were not those of the Representatives, j This observation roused all the rage of Mr. A'.len its perfect truth, in his case, gave it a keenness which penetrated to his inmost core. He made one of the loudest speeches that ever were delivered by mortal man. He said he repelled the attack of the Senator! from Kentucky he would not permit him or any j other man to refer in that way to relations subsis-

tin between himself and the people of Ohio he j

would not, &c. he would. &zc. (for a quarter of an hour in this style.) At last he wound up by siying he would held any man who did mike such illusions, accountable in the Senata and out of it! The shot of the noisiest engiteer is not always tbe most effective. This !ou! speech produced no impression on Mr Clay, win replied with remarkable calmness. lie thought there was no necessity for all this indignation end no necessity for the Senator from Ohio asservating so strongly what he would do. As to personal responsibility he had found, in his life, that the men of greatest determination were not those who made the most talk about it. Mr. Allen, I understood, took back all he had said about personal accountability declared he

meant nothing of that kind. I'erhips he did not. Biit every person I h ive heard speak cn the subject understood him so."

It is well that this petticoat slanderer, and state tiiisrepresentor, should be sensitive of his condition, lie is the lirst man that ever took big seat ia the Senate with a full knowledge that he was about to misrepresent a majority of his constituents, as evinced by four successive expressions of opioion. Cincinnati Gazelle.

Tns Presidesct. A writer in the National Intelligencer of the 25th ultimo recommends Nicholas Middle, Esq., late President of the United States Bank, as a candidate for Pres-ident of United States at the next cleetion. The write! says there would be a peculiar fitness in selecting Mr. Biddle, "Because he is univ crsally ack now ledged to possess great financial ability, 'when it is as universally believed that just such talent will be in

great requisition for the nest eight or ten years of

our history. And "because he i3 more universally known

than any other mm in America, and, I think, would command more of the suffrage of the country than any man in it, for the reason that the Peo

ple do know him." IFayne Co. Chronicle.

THE SIMOON OF THE DESERT. 20,000 PERSONS lit. R I ED ALIVE. Mr. Buckingham, the celebrated Oriental traveller, who has recently arrived in New York, has been lecturing to crowded houses. In one of his lectures, he gave an interesting account of the simoon of the desert. He 6tates that from the great insecurity of persona and property, there is little travelling except in caravans. These frequently comprise 40,000 camels, attended by 300 or 400 persons. 'Flying horsemen scouring at full speed the surrounding country; secure them from sudden attack; but the chief danger they have to encounter is the hot blast of the desert. Its approach is tokened by a lurid streak in the heavens, such as may sometimes be seen in American sunsets. It is a sign well understood by the natives, nd they prepare for it immediately. It comes like the heated air from a fiery furnace suddenly opened, producing faintness and lassitude; and 6oon increasing in violence, it raises the soft sand in clouds, penetrating the eyes, nose and mouth, and insinuating itself beneath the garments. The camels are halted by the sound of the bugle, the note of a flute, or some other well known signal, and arranged in lines of an hundred or a thousand each, with their backs turned to the quarter from whence the simoon is expected, and beneath the shelter thus afforded, the men prostrate themselves upon the ground. The drifting sand, opposed in its course, rises in a little time to the camels' backs, and begins to pour down on the other side. Now must they again bestir themselves, if they would net bo buried where they lie. Although the atmosphere is thick with the yellow sand, producing darkness so total, that not one can see an extended hand and darkness too that can be felt a new position is to be taken, a new line of camels formed, the same operation gone through with. This is often necessary to he done many times, until reduced to perfect helplessness by exhaustion, they sink and die,

and are b'lried beneath the sand. The groans of

the women and children, and the biended cries ol the men and beasts, help to make the scene awful beyond description. One of these simoons to

which Mr. Buckingham was exposed, lasted 1? hours, and out of a caravan of 20,000 persons returning from a pilgrimage to Mecca, to the shrine of Mahomet, which was overtaken by this destroy

ing blast, only fifteen, escaped alive to tell the tale. I

From the Baltimore American Dec. 27. Washington, Dec. 20. The Christmas holidays have had no effect on the ardor of Members of Congress. The Senate Chamber and Hall of Representatives were both this morning the arena of an interesting discussion on several politically and otherwise important subjects. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The House served up a medlev to please the easily cxcited,and as usual with such contagious materials and combustible matter, an excited debate was the consequence. The morning hour began with the appearance of Mr. Campbell, of S. C. on the floor, who had arisen for the purpose of contradicting a charge made in one of the Baltimore papers. I am told, against the Southern Members of Congress, or a part of them, who withdrew from the House the other day, for the purpose

ol consulting as to the safety and security of

uiu ouuui against tne AOohlionists of the North. The charge intimated that the Southern Delegates withdrew from the Convention for the purpose of consulting upon measures calculated to dissolve the Union. Mr Campbell denied the. truth of anyuch consultation or such wish, either on his part, on the part of his colleagues, or the Delegates in attendance from (he South. Thus much for to-day of this everlasting and exciting topic. Mexico, however, akin to it in interest from its proximity to Texas, and the proximity of Texas to the South, came up for discussion in the form cf a memorial introduced some days since through Mr. Adams, of Mass. from the Peace Society of New York. This memorial prays that the difficulties between the United States and Mexico ma v be settled by a reference to some foreign and disinter-

ested power. The Mexican Congress have desired that same mode of settlement, and the

petitioners wish that Congress would meet the

irouosuion halt way.

Thus stood the question this morning, when

it came before the House as the unfinished

business of the day.

Mr. Adams of Mass., who was entitled to

the floor on the memorial, was prepared to discuss the merits of the memorial, as far as he could discuss them with nronrietv. A half

lour's talk according to the decision of the

Chair found him out of order, and he was com

pelled to take his seat for speaking irrelevant

matter. The correctness of the decision was deemed out of order by many, and Mr. Un

derwood ot IV) . appealed from the Speaker's

Congress Mississippi Representatives. On the 27th of December, Messrs. L. J. Prentice, and T. D. Word appeared, in the House of Representatives, and demanded to he admitted as members from the State of Mississippi. After several propositions had been submitted, discussed and disposed of, the claim was referred to the Committee of Privileges and Elections, with instructions to report all the facts.

private quarrels might be settled in a private manner. A desultory debate continued until past four o'clock, Mr. Adams finishing his speech, and Mr. Howard replying. At a late hour, for want of a quorum, an adjournment took plate. UNITED STATES SENATE. The Senate Chamber was the scene of unusual attraction and interest this morning. The galleries were thronged with the beauty and fashion of the city. A debate on the A-

bolition Question was expected, and a warm

discussion, bring out all the hot blood of Northern and Southern politicians, would have been

the consequence. The multitude were, how

ever, all disappointed in the question discus sed before the Senate.

Mr. Swift, of Vermont, said he should not

to-day bring forward the resolutions passed

by the Legislature of Vermont. At the re

quest of several Senators he had thought best

to postpone it to some early day, when all the Senators should be in their seals. Mr. Wall of N. J. then lr.id some resolutions on the table from the Legislature of his own State, without defining their charactci.

Mr. Clay of Ky. asked what the resolutions

were? Mr. Wall replied . by saying they expressed a certain creed of a certain party. Mr. Clay not satisfied with this indefinite answer, called for the reading of the resolu

tions. The resolutions, twelve in number,

were therefore read, and turncdout to be the resolutions passed at the last session of the N.

Jersey Legislature, in relation the Adminis

tration. They condemned the prominent measures of the Administration, and approved the toutse of Senator Southard, the colleague

of Mr. Wall. The reading of the resolutions.

afforded a good

deal ot merriment to memoers oi uotn parlies. Being read, they were ordered to be printed and laid on the table. Several reports were then received, from the standing committee of the Senate; several memorials were referred to the standing committees; and the forty-seven private hills passed by the House on Friday, were reported to the Senate. The orders of the day were then called for, which orders were, the final passage of the bill for the suppression of small notes in the District of Columbia. Mr. Clay took occasion to condemn for the fifth and sixth time the prominent features of the bill. His obiections he said, were

Melancholy Ecenl. We learn by a gentleman just from Greencaetle, la., that on last Monday week, & young lady of that place, named Miss White, aged about 10 years, put a period to her existence by hanging herself with a rope suspended from the collar beam of the house in which she lived. The cause of her committing the rash act,

we further learn was, that Ler father reproved her

for wearing her best pparel while washing clothes

ad her mother inflicted a 6'ight chastisement 011 her for striking a vonnrrer sister. Parents should

siness in the House of Representatives.

Members were here engaged in carrying on

a warfare more sutted to personal combatants than toa public assembly. Committees were bandving epithets between each other, and

engaged in personal contests instead of dis

cussing matters of a public nature : and in con

elusion, snid Mr CI srniiU to ITeVPU . that

r thnt thp Senate neree in theopinions there

expressed, but are unwilling to express tneir oniuion in nublic. Mr. Calhoun said he did

not rise to discuss tne suoject fti icui.-

11 nnlv hrnuolit it before the senate in or

der to prepare Senators for a discussion which

would come up at some iuiure urtj. Mr. Preston followed Mr. Calhoun v ith

A, mlc He said he aereed with the

I H.l" . C

sar, his cordial -support. He was not however, prepared to say that he thought their present introduction a measure of prudence or wisdom. He was adverse to agitation, because agitation did no good, liefore asking legislative aid, legislative action, or even the expression of an opinion on the part of the General Govcinment, touching the affairs of the South, he wished to see the South united, united as one man in defence of Southern Rights and Institutions. So long as the South was divided, so long would the South be the greater sufferer, and so long would she be playing a losing game. If, said Mr. P. the Southern members would come forward, united upon some measures of policy, and agree to stand by and defend her, then" her strength would be undoubted and her institutions unshaken. Mr. Preston continued his remarks by expressing the belief that if he had his own way on this subject he would present an appeal to the South an appeal which he believed would be heard appeal to the love of union to the identity of feeling to the mutual struggles of the North and South in the days when Northern men and Southern men poured out their Hood like water in defence of their liberties and their rights- lie would appeal to the Revolution, to tiie time when A of us were one in spirit one in feeling, one in character one in interest, and if such an appeal failed, then would be the time to resort to ether means of defence. Mr. Calhoun rejoined, and Mr.Presfon again responded. The two Senators difiering In their remarks only as to the expediency of certain measures. Mr. Strange, of North Carolina, said that lie wanted language to express the feelings of his bosom when the resoIulionSjWere introduced. It was an important tin immensely important question: our wives our children, our

lives, our property, oar peace all depended

on the issue ol this question, and he regretted

the introduction of any subjec t calculated to

listurb the public mind. I am, said Mr.

Strange, for silling still, for quieting the

troubled watciv. 1 believe agitation is dangerous, useless, and not to be indulged in

without al inn. He referred to the resolutions from Vermont, and said that the State of

Vermont had degraded herself by introducing

such resolutions.

Mr. Swift of Vermont, said, I beg the Se

nators not to refe r to the resolutions until they come properly before the Senate not to speak of Vermont offensively. The resolu

tions Irom eimont, he said would be before

the Senate in a few days, and there was no reason for making war upon Vermont in advance. Mr. Calhoun replied to Mr. Strange, and Mr. Strange responded, Mr. C. saying he hoped the .-evolutions would be supported by Mr. Strange, and Mr. Strange answering that if he pleased to vote for the resolutions he should do so, although he deprecated agitated

discussion, and the introduction of the resolu

tions.

The resolutions were then, on motion of Mr. Calhoun, postponed to Wednesday next. The orders of the day came up for consideration, which were the further consideration of bills of a private character,and the bill which was passed yesterday to engrossment in relation to the IGth section of lands for the use of school?. The bill allows the towns to thange poor lands for good lands by

surrendering the poor lands for the good lands. Several other private bills were passed, when the Senate adjourned.

the purpose of receiving the reports from the
