Hoar, Of Massachusetts, offered a reso? lution instructing the Judiciary Com? mittee to inquire and report whether the notion of the House is required con? cerning the official conduct of the Judge of the United States Court for the Dis? trict of Alabama, and especially win ther the Judge has held the terms of his Court required by law, and whether he has continuously and persistently ub* seated himself from the State, and whe? ther his acts and omissions in his office of Judge have beeu such as in any de? gree to deprive tbe people of that Stato of the benefit iof the District Court therein, and to amount to u denial of justice. Adopted. In the House, Jadgo Harris, of Vir? ginia, offered a bill to abolish the tariff on printing paper, type and type metal; also, u bill to pay old soldiers and widows of the war of 1812, without proof of loyalty. General Wigfall was on the floor of the Senate und House, and attracted courtesy from all points. New York, December 15?Mr. Waite, of the Bravoort House, has received u letter from his son, who was oue of the saved from the Villa do Havre, giving some intercstiug details of the sad event: "Shortly after leaving New York, gales commenced, breakiug one blade of our screw on Monday. From that time till Friday morning, there were continuous fogs and gales, when it oleared, and we hnd a lovely day, also a fiuo eveniug, with a clear sky aud stars." The young man, after describing tbo appearance of the hole made by the Loch Earn, and his efforts to save his sister and somo other ludics, says that whilo, witb somo other gontlc*cncn, ho was eugagod in an effort to get a boat afloat, the steamor gave one last plunge, and the waves rushed over, covering ! them at oueo. He was one of tbo first persons rescued. The purser was picked up by tbe samo boot, with scarcely auy clothing, but instead of coming on board the English ship, remained in the bout, aud rowed for an hour and a half to two hours, saving many people. Upon being transferred to tuoTrimonu tain, the captain of that vessel cared for them as well as human beings could be under tbo circumstances. Oapt. Urqu hardt is n noble mnn, and has dune no? bly by us all. He gave up everything to us, and having carried his wife often with bim, was able to provide ladies, of whom there are eleven, with dresses aud other oomforts. Of course, bis provi? sions were very plain and not very plen? teous, but he was ublo to give the ladies three meuls and the men two every day. They were mostly of salt meat aud poik, but us the cargo was principally of flour, we had plenty of good breud. Twenty-five of us slept on tbe floor of tbe cubiu on improvised beds. Of the conduct of the officers of the steamor, 1 thiuk those saved did everything in their power to save tbo passengers, but the stunner suuk so quiokly that there wus hardly time So launch boats or do anything.

IN tho present excited stats of the adrcr tisiug mania, we scarcely know how to address our friends. "Unprecedented i Rushes," "Enormous Increase of Biz," ad cm/fa ridum cigar pafis, a liberal profusion of superlatives, together with tho quictly-wbla percd-in-your-ear assurance that it is aston? ishing how the young men stand up to the grave demands upon their physical endur? ance?really have left onr modest style in the shade. We' have, however, no desire or love for the sensational. "Water always finds Us level," and purchasers of 10 cent hams and cooking butter vamped under the namo of "Gilt Edge," soon find their way backte where good goods ouly are kopt; and where no promises aro made which aro ubt meant to br? performed. Our stock is full, our busi n<?s lair,; not unprecedented,) terms are cash,* and our goods are up to tho standard we havo always maintained. Wev can promise no more. Verbum sap. GEO.
