Pickens a copy of his speech on the Land Bill, and from the Hon. John Camp he!) a copy of his speech on the Revenue Bill. After the last part of Col. Campbell's speech had baeu printed on the fourth page, our attention was called to the fact that room could not be made for the entire speech this we*-|{. I(j ordrr therefore to do as little injustice to the speech as possible in dividing i:, we shall next week insert all after the I point where it is no v stopped, including the part on the fourth page of the present number. The President has signed the bill repealing the sub-treasury act. The public money is now in the hands of the Executive without legislative restriction of any O * kind. Hg inav direct it to be kept in pet hanks, strong boxes, or any where else, at discretion. The reader upon turning to the pro cecdingsof the Senate, after the reading of the President's veto message, will be amused, and, if lie has a proper regard for the character of his country, he will be also mortified at the ruffianism of Col. Benton in his attack upon a supposed "bank r ?fiian" in the person of a drunken friend of his own. Col. Benton is, we believe* the only member of the Senate whose character and conduct are a reproach to that august bodv. P * Tiie Louisiana Insurrection has ended in smoke.

The American Consul at Matanzas has been imprisoned by orrlerof the Governor General of ( uba. Cause not stated.? So says a Capt. Merrimnn from that Port to the editor of the Philadelphia U. S. Gazette. Since the above was put in type we see it stated that the Consul was arrested on a charge of conniving at the illegal seiz. ing of property owned by a woman of ill fame who died at Matanzas. The Consul was sent for to write her will, hut finding her in a dying state, he returned home, knowing nothing, as he says, about her property. Money and other property owned by her to a considerable amount, was taken into possession and secreted or dissipated by her associates, and ihe Consul is now confined in jail, under charge of conniving at their doing so. The prop, erty belonged legally to the government at the death of the woman ; who was a native of the U. States, and died intestate leaving no legal heirs in the Spanish dominions. CONGRESS. The Senate was still occupied almost exclusively on the Land Bill down to Wednesday last. It is uncertain what the result will be, or has been. The veto message, which was received on Monday week, was, on that day, postponed till Tuesday. On Tuesday it was again, on motion of Mr. Mangum of N. C., postponed till Wednesday. On Wednesday, it was still, on motion of Mr. Herrien of Ga., postponed till Thursday, by a strictly party vote. On Thursday it was probably taken up for consideration. What course the i.dvocates of a bank ma)' be disposed now to pursue, we have no means of judging. In the House of Representatives the bill to establish a uniform system of Bankruptcy, finally passed 01. Wednesday |a^. by a vote of 110 to 106. The biil bad been previously laid on the table, there to sleep during the session by a vote of 110 to 97; but this vote was again reconsidered. An amendment was mnde to the bill by the House, awl it was, therefore, sent back to the Senate, which body concured in the amendment. The bill has since been approved by the President and is a law. The bill to renew the charters of the : district banks, which had passed the Senate, was taken up in the House on Wed j ! nesday, after the passage of the bankrupt . bill, and passed, with an amendment j i which, there was no doubt, the Senate j i would concur in. i In addition to the Bank hill, the land ] bill and revenue bill were still before the f j Senate. When they shall be disposed of and Congress be ready to adjourn is still uncertain. Since the above was in typo wo have received the following brief report in the Globr, of the proceedings on the bank bill on Thursday. The hour of twelve having arrived, tho Chair announced the cpeci.il or J -r of the d;?y?liic hill lo incorporate tho Mibtcribcis to the Fiscal B;ink of the United Stales, wiih the message ofihe n *i . . rresiueni reiusmg 11 in .isseui iticreio. The debate on the B.uik hilt, cro-npanied with the Piesi.lent's veto, was protracted to ho late an J hour that we have not lirno, before our paper goes to press, to touch upon the topics discussed. It wax conducted u ilh unusual ability by Mr. Cay on one side, and Mr. Rives on the other. Mr. Clay in his opening speech, was, for liitn, singularly temperate in tone, and profuse in friendly protestations towards the President ; but before he concluded the day. he gavntho reins to his vehement passions, and strip) off the disguisv with which ho had labored to cover his feelings. Although, in the first, effort ho preserved some moderation of m nncr. and cx r-ssion, his whole aim was manifest y to cover the President with odium nd di stroy him with the Fsdcrul party. He began by reading'his inaugural address.) and declared that, although at first he and oth* era entertained distrust as to the President's ! coursv, that paper had dispelled J| appreheusions about the fate of a Bank charter at his hands. He said that this address had satt"find tlia Whole whig party and press t roughout the country? that he was prepared to assent to the establishment of a National Bunk. He referred next to the implied pledge in accepting the nomination from the Harruburg Convention ss Vice Preside nt. which he said every body knew he could not have obtained?no, not even the vote of a single member of that Convention, nor a single Whig electoral vote, if it had been suspected that he would not have yielded to the parly wish in tavor of a Bank. (i)fr. Clay continued Ills Vemarks at great length and was rep'ied toby Mr. Rives, after which the vete was taken on the bill, and stood 25 for and 24 against it.] Disorders at Washington. On the night after the President'** veto message was sent to the Senate two parties of rowdies turned out, one composed of Democrats, and the other of Whigs. The former after various hideous noises confirmatory of the old proverb * A hen wine is in wit I is out," proceeded to bury the bank bill. The I other party entt red the enc'osures of 'he President's mansion. lo disturb and inavit himself and his faintly fur hi* refusing to si-a the same b;JI. Mr. Woodbury two days afterwards, m the Senate, submitted a resolution directing J the Committee on t he District of C jium n ?o j enquire into the character and extent of th?di8turbances in the gallery on the passage cthe bank bill, and on the reading flf t!te veto message ; and also into the diatuiban< es near the President's house above refered to. The resolution directs the committee to report the names of the ofTeuders so far as tiiey can he ascer ained, and to inquire what punishment they are liable to, and what further legislation may be necessary to protect the officers of government from molestation in the discharge of their public duties. It is to be hoped as Congress have taken up the subject they will act efficiently in it. A petition has also been presented to the Mayor of Washington, signed by more than one hundred person* asking him to call a public meeting of the citizens, to express their reprobation of the effort "by a few worthless individuals'1 to treat with insult and indecorum th<* PrA?ifl#>lit and rhf> Mavor has according. ,,,w - " I J ? 9 ]y issued his proclamation calling such meet, mg. This is really more disreputable te the city than the vulgar attempt at insult itselfi In e^ery community there are worthless and senseless individuals capable of mean ana vulgar acts. To assemble respectable men to reprobate their conduct is treating them with too much attention, and really implies that they are looked upon as entitled to very serious consideration.4 Public meetings on such occasions are an interference with the province of the police, and are prompted only by that spirit of ultra democracy in our country which tends to reduce our beautiful the. ory of constitutional and representative gov. ernment to a government of mobs. It would be much more useful for the citizens of Wash" ingtan to be engaged in bringing the culprits before the police magistrates and into the hands of their jailors, than in making indignation speeches and passing indignation resolutions at popular meetings. Are the magistrates and people of Washington so remiss in their public duties as to require the stimulus of a democratic meeting to urge them forward on such an occasion ? Since the above was put into the hands the printer we have received the Globe of Thursday even in?, from which we learn that Mr. Woodbury's resolution was, on that day, with his consent, postponed till next ?e3sion, to afford time for deliberate legislation on the subject During some debate to which the resolution gave rise it was stated by Mr. Merrick that the disorderly proceeding at the President's house arose from a parcel of hig friends collecting there to serenade him, as a compliment tor veloing the bank bill. The*e men were joined l?y others of a different way of thinkin'g, who when the music commenced* made counter noises, in derision nut of the President, bat of his sereuadcrs. l!WfJI'tiWIB?wweyg JWJ3I F? r the Fawners4 Oazettc.

The advantages which have resulted from concert of action in the promotion of civil and religious institutions, are too | familiar tc you to require o single comment. None are more indebted to this principle for their present high state of improvement and refinement, while none I have followed along more uniformly pari I passu, with the general improvement of this age of discoveries, than our own peculiar profession. By a concert of action, a free and mutual interchange of# opinion on the prevalent diseases we have to, combat a more perfect topographical knowledge of our respective districts?a more thorough acquaintance with our individual practice in the treatment of disease, and the prospect of adding something to the general stock of medical literature, are among the ohvious advantages suggested by a move mcnt of the kind. The profession of medicine, has ever maintained a high and dignified station in the ranks of lenrned professions, and none have contributed more to the genera! good of mankind, save the divinely appointed. To maintain that dignity should he tha laudable aspiration of every member of her corps. It is easily se? n how an association of physicians in a well organized society, will be contributive to this end. Besides, they can without risk of reputation, (which any one physiciai might incur in the attempt,) spurn from their members, the drivelling intruder who for base and mercenary motives would undersell the services, and other, wise compromise the dignity of the profession. Let me propose to you then, that even physician of the above districts sanction, ing these views meet at Darlington C. II. as the most central point, on the 1st Decembcr, and organize themselves into a Society, to be called by whatever name deemed most applicable, when convened. And farther, that each so disposed communicate (postage free,) to the Editor of the Farmers' Gazette, his consent, that he might give us notice through his journal by the middle of Nov., whether or not, there will be. a nur.jN??- sufficient to warrant l ny ti rther pr'C ' *.cs.

As the whole community is agitated with measures adopted tonssert the rights and advance the interests of labouring men, it would he well to consider for a moment the claims of industrious wo. men. There is a strange and cruel mock* ery in the conduct of the lords of creation to the weaker sex. They are fond of speaking in extravagant terms of the excellence of woman, thev delight in manifesting their refinement by unmeaning compliments, and exhibit their gallantry in a thousand superfluous attentions. Here their justice ends. They call themselves the defenders of woman?do they protect her? They praise her virtue?does their eonduct manifest a real respect? They compassionate her weakness?do thev sustain her poverty, cheer her loveliness with the voice of encouragement; or do aught in any shape tcPsupply her wants, or alleviate her afflictions? The world is a scene of violence, where each man scrambles fur his share of the plunder? hut weak woman is constrained by her physical inferiority to stand apart and ? - 1- |-? gaze nopeiessiy on ine struggle, wun little to sustain her or her little ones but the stray fragments which may fall in her way. She is still, as in olden time, a gleaner in the harvest of life; and through her responsibilities are equal to those of man, she is expected to supply her wants and perform all her duties upon the miserable pittance which the reaper leaves behind him as unworthy to be gathered. Such is the justice, such the kindness of man to woman. The s urdy labourer complains that his wages are low, and thousands unite in a moment and secure him redress; hut the widow may toil with'superior assiduity and receive less than the tithe of the wages of the man?and who strikes for herl Is her labour .ess useful or necessary ? By no means. Are her orphans more readily or cheaply sustained than the children of the labourer I Of course not. Yet she is allowed to toil unceasingly, and receives a paltry pittance which if quadrupled would be scorned by a man laborer witl} contempt. Again the man complains, justly perhaps, that 12 hours labor is too much for i . . . . i his herculian frame, and he strikes for an ? amelioration of his condition. The press f is clamorous in support of the poor laborer ; Orators and politicians espouse his I cause; nnd iie triumphs. But the lone widow sits at her solitary labor, plying ! 1 the noodle with her fingers, and rocking 1 the cradle with her foot. The sun rises and sets upon her, and the stars almost i fade from the sky, before, with a fevered I and exhausted frame, she sinks upon the j couch. But who we ask again strikes j for the lone widow/ Who compassion-; , atesher. wrongs and asserts her rights?; Perhaps it may he asserted that woman ; has no rights. Men are entitled to high ! wages?hut women must not expect it; j men must not labor more than ten hours? hut women being weak and unable to I ? i demand their lair share of the advantages J that result from labor, must consent to; he, as they have been, the drudge and:; slaves of those who prate about their beau, j tv and their chivalry.

Q. r, TERRIFIC STOBV?HYDROPHOBIA. About a month ago a dog belonging to Mr. Fenwick, George street, Perth, gave , pretty strong symptoms of being in j ; a rabid state, by biting three or four of its own species, without anything like provoj cation, and immediately thereafter fasten. ; iugon a horse belonging to James Rollo, : a licensed carter in Bridgend. The ag- j gressor, as well as those he ha J attackted with the exception of the more noble ani. ' | mal, were drowned #or otherwise killed j with all convenient speed, to save proha- | ble consequences. The horse (a finestal- t | lion) was hit on the upper lip; but the < wound, which seemed trivial, soon healed. ( ! and was quickly forgotten. On the even- j i ing of sabbath last, his ow ner, on going | ^ Initio h i m in ro t Kop o 4 iiiiu lilc oini7iv? i"uuu iiiiii hi iuiiivi u * ' feverish state, frothing at the mouth, and perspirin^copiously. This circumstance 1 however, did not a tthe time bring to mind j any recollection of the injury done by the [ dog, as natural causes might acount for I i these manifestations of excitement. On J Monday morning Rollo rose nhout four j o'clock, to cart a quantity of clothes to | the North Inch for bleaching. On enter- 5 ing the stable h? was immediately struck at by tho horse, and, essaying to put on the harness, the enraged animal caught ~ hold of his left sholder with his teeth.? < By dint of superior strength and fortitude however he succeeded in extricating him- ~ self, and adjusting the harness, but no sooner had they cleared the stable door when the infuriated animal again rushed a upon his master, siezed himby the arm and 1 throwing him down, trampled and tore 1 him alternately, and would have made him a mangled corpse in a short time, had I not a house cnrpenter and a policeman a run to his assistance, and, striking the maddened brute a blow on the head with a hammer, forced him off the pros- J trate man. The horse was now yoked by the assistance of the carter's son, and the clothes taken to the Inch. On returning r he was driven knee-deep into the river; but, though showing no marked repug- . nance to water, he refused to drink.? Without taking off the harness he was again placed in the stable. In about o three hours afterwards the young man, F thinking the animal would now be some- f* what cooled, re-entered the stable, hut found him wilder than ever?striking out furiously, and making every imaginable . effort to bite. After great risk and ex- ^ ertions. however, he succeeded in taking ^ off the harres. with the exception of the jj collar.
