IT. *\Vliat a Stranger Sets in Congress on Saturdays. * * The ball is rather sombro, Tlaylight struggling in drearily from the top; but even tho light of a Juli day malees the gilding glare painfully. Ho observes the two little flags over tho Speaker's head, and luis taken his seat before perceiving that a man is on his legs, behind one of those little gingerbread desks, haranguing tho House. He cannot hoar a word ho says, partly because the man docs not talk loud enough, but chielly because no one is paying auy attention to him. But few members are in their seats, and those are busy writing, au exercise that they vary with another that somewhat amajws onr friend. He tries vainly, and would like to catch a word or two of a speech that seems to elicit such terriblo;applause. Tho members are constantly clapping their hands with great but not prolonged energy, at which littlo hobgoblin pages spring about, running as if to relieve each surcharged member of his enthusiasm; and our friend gra? dually discovers that the hand-clap? ping is not applause, but a mode of summoning the pages. He gazes in bewilderment on the Babel before him. Tho mun is read? ing his speech, and does so from a printed copy, as if ho were paid by the line for it. The pages skip about. The members clap their hands. Peo? ple come in and look at the show with stoical ar>athy, and then go ont again. The man finishes his reading and sits down. Another mau gets up and commences the same performance. The members go out, until not over a dozen of thom are left. The man is reading his speech. Ho does nut do it very glibly; ho does not do it as if he expected to gain anything by it. Some humane friend comes to his rescue with a motion; by parlia? mentary fiction the speech is con? sidered delivered, and printed with the proceedings; and as many copies as the orator likes to pay for may be | stuffed into the glory of a buff on- j velope and franked to a wondering j constituency in his "district." It may be a necessity in thc econo? my of tho great parliamentary whale that it come up to the surface and blow off, and then go down again. If it could be entirely restricted to the Saturdays, it would bo better; one day m six is, after all, not a great deal to devote to parliamentary non? sense. Making a speech is considered the destiny of our politicians. The member who should not succeed in going through the operation just de? scribed at least once in each session, and franking home many thousand dirty-looking little pamphlets as evi? dence, would be considered an niter ! failure-a fraud upon the public: lt makes no difference that ho has no? thing to say. It makes still less that no one wants to listou to him. At t lie close of his "catechism" some loader of the House may be kind enough to shake him by the hand and congratu? late hint QU his "speech," but even the most verdaut member is not un? sophisticated enough to believes thal it bad any effect on anybody. It isa very broad farce and a very shallow one. Each Saturday geLs rid of half a dozen of these orators. [Nar York Ndion.

Fvetz involved a question so impor tant as to excite general discussion ? among tho diplomats. Itwas argued by Mr. S. S. Cox for tho claimant, an tl by Mr. Carlisle for Colombia, anti subsequently, on a difference of opinion between the Commissioners, it was argued in printed brief by Col. Biddle, Commissioner for the United States, and Gen. Salzar, Commis? sioner for Colombia, and tho umpire, Sir Frederick Bruce, has decided that Fretz, though holding property on the Isthmus of Panama, was a citizen of the United States for tho purposes of the eoiiTcntion. Ho owned the Ocean Hotel on the Isth? mus, which was destroyed by thc famous riot of April 1G, 1850, and it was urp;ed that the temporary resi? dence there and the ownership ol real estate gave color to his nation? ality, and made him a New Granadiau citizen. His original domicil was in tho United States, and it was held bj tho claimant's counsel Unit Freto never abandoned it; that he conti nued his residence in Pennsylvania, where he was boru, even when ht had his place of business in Sai Francisco, and that he never dwelt ii Panama, but was onlj* there as ai agent of a eompanj- domicile 1 else whore. The umpire decided that In was an American citizen, and that lu was entitled to compensation for th destruction of his property, of what ever description -thc more so as tba property was intimately connected and supplementary to the neeessitic created by the transit route-the pre serration of good order and pcac along which route tho Republic o New Granada declares to bo tho fonr dation of its liability in this class ?. cases. To a share of that protectio and to compensation for damages rt suiting from the want of it, this hob property is equitably entitled. Th umpire quoted the case of Paofies, British subject, whose house in Greec I was destroyed, and held that ow ne: ' ship o? the house, coupled with lou ! residence, did not render him, coi j stmctively, a subject of Greece as i ! matters affecting that property, m deprive him of tho right of prote ! tion and full compensation which 1 claimed as a British subject. A CURIOUS CASE IN NEW YORK. - singular ease came up before the S preme Court, in New York, the otb day, on tho motion of a defenda: mtraed Lydden, to set asido a cou fe sion of judgment made to Marks Cohen. The defendant swore lie w in business as a tailor at Faetoryvill ! Tjong Island, and had dealt with ti I plaint ?tis. wholesale clothiers in tl city; that, on the 10th of April la; Collen, ono of the 'ritifis, indue i him to come to tin y, and wb there decoyed him nit o a police si tion-houso, which ho represented bo a hotel; that ho there told hi his salesman had robbed him, (plai tiff,) and had given thc defenda largo quantities of the stolen goo? and unless he paid him the sum j Si,OOO, he would expose him n: ! ruin his credit in Now York; tl I after detaining him in custody un 12 o'clock at night, a policeman v sent to sleep with him at Frene] hotel, and in the morning ho v taken to thc oflice of an attorn* where, as he alleges, under threi and intimidation, ho sigued soi papers, the contents of which never read. He further swears tl lie was innocent of all complicity w the salesman, ami had never receiv any goods but those he liad p chased. -?
