A Ucg3g IN T1E DOUsE or Loa.Ds OTbipsday evenlng the 27th alt. the fueneeimgetraordInary scene took place I In sthe most dignified assembly in the em CsuacU or SCOTLAND Br.zriczs BILL. ~Lord Brougham said. iaconsequence of too noble earl (Aberdeen.) whom he did not see in his place, being determined to with this measure on Thursday, should postpone the second reading of his Slave-trade Suppresion Bill from that day until Tuesday next. At the same tme that be gave this notice, he must take the opportunity of expressing his regret and disstisfacnon' that (he noble earl, a gainst this remonstrance snd contrary to his solicitation, should hive insisted on proceeding last night with a measure which could only have for its object to insult and a'ontihe judges in their lordship's house, is order to give some sort of self-impor tance to certain otberjudges elsewhere. "So ucb." said the noble lord, passion aiely, "a much for having a relation in the Cabinet! For my part, however, I ashall not let the matter rest bere. I give the noble earl fair notice that on Thrs. day I will bring forward in delnil the whole of the subject of this, insult, and we wiU then see if your lordships., after my ezplanation, will put such an affront upon the judges as will be cunveyed by your adoption of this measure." The Earl of Haddiogton said, the noble lood certainly could not have taken a moire mneonieniett or extraordinary opportunity of mentioning his intention. Lord Brougham (in a giolcut tone.) Was there Ist night y %he Earl or Haddington (not noticing the :ntierruption)-but with respect to a portion of his address he must at once de ny that it was theobject of his noble friend, by this bill, either to insult or affront thie judges of their lordship's house, for the purpse. as the noble lord bad put it, of garog a sort of importance to judges in another placo. ~ His noble friend,the noble earl, had expressly declared last night. that be regretted the necessi-y which com pelled him to difer from the judges-that hisob'ect was simply .to prevent division andiminution in she Church of Scotland. and to preclude the possibility of a t sad results,tbetotal dis-establishment of the .urch. which he confidently expected weslk"ak place if ibis measure was not carieL. If the only effect of the measure would be to set aside their lordsbigiajdg meat, be thought he might safely declare thatthe bill would never have been thought of. lArd Brougham. -4)hat does the nobtle earl nean by my taking an "extraordinary opportunity ?"

Talk of 'extraordinary proceed ings," indeed,-that was one, if you like - u t's anything but extraordinary that I should come down hero to complain thereof! As for the law, I'm not going to condesend to discuss "law" with the noble lord" I shall discuss "law" wit h my no ble friend on the woolsack, to whom I have written a letter givinsg noJtice of rmy intention, and, please God, if I live.

Blacksmith at Willow Creek, (Pawnee count ) to his friend in t his city, dated on the 2th of June, giving an accountVf the murders comaitted by the Sionus Indians upon the Pawnees, and upon the-wife of the Blacksmith. His wife was shot on Tuesday morning, the 47th, about 7 o'clock. The husband had en deavored to save her by shutting her up in the shop, but she bad not time to bolt the door, sd it was burst open. She was killed, and tbey fell to whipping the black smitb. without doing him serious injry, having their guns all the while cocked, ready to ire. Ttre Indiana had also killed Lashapel. U. S. Intergeter, who nad been in that country 25 ears ; Capo Blue, first Chief of the Pawnee-Tappages, and father-in law of the Interpreter; a son-in law of the old Chief Moulin, and several other Chiefs and Braves, young men, women and chil dren. ' It is also stated, that out of 41 Lodges, 21 of the largest were -burnt and most of the horse* were stolen or killed on the spot. The Pawnee Indians had leti their villages to go ou their Spring linot. Willow Creek from whence this letter is the Sioux are 20 miles abdV4 it. These Indinus have eshibited hostile feelings ou several occesion.s during the winter, and this att.ick on the Pawnees had been ex pected for some time.

Thse Great Forger- of 1841.-From let ters received by the Colesmbia, it seems that a man by the namne of John S. Clin ton, ha. been arrested in London, charged with uttering forged Treasury Notes of the United States. We copy from the Money Article of the New York Herald, of the 19th instant, the following explica tive of the affair: "Our readers will doubtless remember the iuccessful depredations of some ac comuphshed rogue upon Messrs.

The per son took in part payment eight Treasury . Notes of $1.000 each. It turned out that the certificate was a forgery. The pny ment of the Treasury Notes was then stopped at Washington, and a description sent to most of the bankers here and in Europe. in consequence of this the forger found great difficulty in selling themn. Until within a few weeks lhe gave five of themn to the Union Bank of London, to send to this market, having al tered the name of the payee on the (nee to evade the descripsion. The Union Bank sent them to the Bank of Americn, and that Banki actually received and paid these, and the money was remitted to London through P'ickersgill & Co.

Who wouldhave thought it!" ''he Portlad American says: "You areAi;h2 in that. As the Dentocracy look at the Presi dential question, the better satisfed ate they that 31r. Calhoun is the best man that can be run. Ilia friends are increasing fifty per cent. a week." The Bargor Engarer announced. in its last number. its t choice to be Mr. Calhoun. The following isan extract from the leader: " Our first choice of men to fill th exasted office of Chief Magistrate of the Union. isJoahn C.

We should do this, let the nom ination fall on either of the distinguished Re publicans., whose names has been mentioned in connexton with the highest office within the gift of the people.

Iheavy Rains and Destruction of Property. - rte Mascon Telegrapl of the 25th nIt., sts lhat aller a long spell of hot dry weather. it :ommnenced raining on the moriing of the 20th ill., and for several hour. poured down in tor 'enus. The streams rose rapidly. By the next norsing the Ocmulgee had risen 16 feet. It tas rained every day since, and the Rivor and ow grounds are still full, though the water is 'aling. Conbsiderable damage has been done to the trops in the low grounds in this vicinity. Ini he up country also, we hear of more er less lamage by the Btoods.
