senate.
The Senate elected, by ballot, a .Select
Committee on tbo subject of French
spoliations prior to 1800. The following
arc the Committee: Messrs ?S'milh, //imter,
BradbuVy, Manguinand Sturircon.
T%Mr Foote gave notice that, on Monday
lie -would call no his resolutions concerning
the Ten iter! 's.
5The joint resolution providing for the
collection of the revenue was taken up
nnd passed.
Mr. Holland, from th< '"'ommittce on
Military Affairs', repovteu 'ill for the
payment to the .State of Floriuti of certain
ivhnncpc ntlnn^Jn^ ?

Indian hostilities.
Mr Dodge, of Wisconsin, offered a resolution
to pay the ilev. Mr Slicer thn usunl
compensation f>?r his services as (Chaplain
at the special rtid th? present session.
Agreed to.
7\ Mr Brodhead's resolutions, culling oil
the President for a statement of the charges
against ail office-holders removed by
him, were taken up.
Mr jVangum said this was a departure
from the usual practice, and was wrong
in principle. To test the opinion ol tin;
Senate, he would move to lay the resolution
on the table. The motion was lost?
yeas 22, nays 20.
Afv JJradlmrry said he was surprised
nt the opposition manifested to the crdl
proposed, which was necessary tori proper
discharge of the duties of tho Senate,
nnd was not all conflicting with the re
ppeot due to the. Executive, lie proceeded
to argue and prove, that the removal
of an officer, upon the principles assumed
i,'? ('i.? <
t/j uiu 1. itMunn uwurc me eiceuon, was
ft stigma upon (lie character for fidelity
nnd capacity. lie also..read tl>at portion
of the inaugural address, the passage relative
to tlio appointing newer, and the
declaration that want of honesty, capacity
and fidelity should be the cause for
removal,
Mr. Bradbury mentioned by name
nnd gave a brief account of each of tlio
Wi AO f -.-1 1
iiivQV Viioiiii^uiouvu fJl'I SU1IS >Y 11U IltlVC
bpenremoved by Lhisadmiuistrntion. In
(his city competent tir.d faithful men
were removed, and the consequonco was
that the public business was behindhand,
and additional force was asked for. Jt
would be better to restore the old officer*.
The whig party have become the spoils,
party,
lie did not believe that Gen. Taylor
Juul intentionally deserted his piincipleo,
but ho had no doubt been imposed upon
by false charges, nnd it was the object
of his resolution to elicit this fact, The
President certainly did not intend in this
way to redeem his pledge to lend himself
to no party schemes.
If any Senator should rise in his place
and say that thu Prcsidont had disregarded
his pledgee; nnd that he removed men
merely because they wero democrats?
if this was acknowledged?if it was ad
nuticu turn the i'residont's course was
inconsistent with his professions?that
he would withdraw his resolution.
Dutit was due to the persons removed
that tliey kuve an opportunity to vindicate
their reputation, if it was insisted
that thc^* were removed on the tcore of
incapacity nnd want of integrity.
Tlio resolution was passed over.
Mr. Douglas offered a resolution calling
for copies of instructions to the acent
sent to Hungary; also, instructions to
minister to Centml Amcricn, <fcc., lobe
communicated totho Senate in open or
in socio.t session. Lies over.
A short Executive session tool- placo,
nnd the Senate adjourned.
THE FOREIGN NEWS.
Wo have the following items by last
night's mail in relation to the rebellion in
S'ervia:
'/n.? ? i
j. ?>\y imuuiijr uuuiiuury suuions arc lip
in arms Against the A ustrian Government
T)ic jSfclnvoninns and Servian boundary
regiments had revolted, and raised the
cordon of tho Turkish frontier, so that
thoir rear is fully secured from the troops
on incir rear in i urkey.
7'hcy wore assured beforehand of a
warm support?a circumstance which
will complicate tho relations already sufficiently
complicated, between Austria
and the Sublime Porto.
The boundary regiments which have
revolted are among tne bravjfct, and hardiest
soldiers in the Austrian service. The
chief movement is in tho Servian, Peterwarden,
and Vetcck military districts,
which aie exasperated at being excluded
from the wood schaft. I
The military force of tho rebels is estimated
at 120,000, which is hourly swelled
by desertion from the Austrian regi
uiviiwa m 1 eicrwarucn and other places.
It iij said ll^j/^tiu has boon intriguing
to get up (his insurrection, so ns to
have both /ratUrja and Turkey entirely
dependent upon her; in proof of whicl*
JCuttiatf agitation is daily proving moro
open and daring; and the incrediblo nc?:
tirUy of agents of that power loads to
the conclusion thit sanguinary engagement!}
will speedily break out between
Rusia and Turkey.
The Prince of Servia has already re*
fused to pay tho tribute due to the Su 1tAn
of TuiKq^ of 31,000 duetts, and the ;

TRUE COURAGE. ^
Wo doubt whether the pages of (Tie
history of 'lie world present n parallel to
the sublime magnanimity and self-sacii- i
| lico of the orow of tho United States brig
I Somers. When that, vessel was wrccki
ed and about to sink, it was found that
i only a portion v f tho crew could be taken
o(l* in boats, Those who wore commanded
to remain obeyed without a murmur.
Some offered their places in tho boats to
i others, though it was evident that no lm t
man help eould rea .h those who remained.
A largo, heavy man, who had ta;
ken a scat in one of the boats was ordered
: to return to the vessel, as thereby two
i men oi smnijnr 61X0coula be saved, lie
I did so without complaint. .'/'he Louis
sailed oft"?the Corners went down amid
! the boiling waves, a;.d with her, these

"ournge and gieatness of spirit, have ucvl

Mr. Glossbvenner, the recently Sergeant
at arms, is the Kilitor of (he \ o."k,
l'a., Gazette. We have no doubt he was
eminently qualified for the office. 7'lin
' following nolico of his nomination, from
his own pen, was writton on the day pve\
ions to his olcction,
"We think (he last mentioned is a very
judicious nomination indeed?we know
' (l)i> nnminnn I'nir ?v..ll ntwl orn mo
judIced in his favor?but we are somewhat
apprehensive tlmt lie would have a
first itite chance only in the event of the
' election being decided in favor of the candidate
who should receive the least votes
[ We arc glad in know on the best possible
authority, that he looks to the election
j with a full appreciation of the Elhiypian
[ sentiment: 'blessed are dey wot. don l
speetnuflin, for dey ain't guinp to be (lis
1 appointed,'
A Beautiful Thought.?"Out of heaven
and the bible, those is not..ing so pure
as that love which makes us forget ourI
selves and live unto others The lust
I time Eve wandered through Eden's bow
ers of celestial amaranth, the angels, betokening
her departure, gave her many
; flowers, which she twined in her hair, and
wore on her neck all, save one?a love
i blossom?which she pressed to her breast,
! and the approving smile of all the angels
, quickened its fainting leaves into life, and
J*it took root in her heart; and so, ever!
more, the children'of Eve are inclined to
i love."
Queon Victoria, it is said, is coming on
a visit to Canada. If that is the oase,
' she had bettor come soon, or she will be
| obliged to go out of her own possessions.
The Richmond Republican, in allusion
| to the amount of juvenile depravity, Arc.,
brought to light by the late police reports
in New Yosk, says that resolutions
denouncing the jmiis of other, coming
from such sources, can only be compared
, to the supposed case cf a deputation
! from Sodom Ar Gomorrah, expostulating
! with Aoraham on slaveholding.
Baldness?We learn f.om the lhiflalo
Expross that baldness is owing ti the
desquamafication of the i pidermis. Hang
