In the Senate the morning hour is spent as usual in
retool ving memorials, resolutions, and reports; after
which the time, on the 13th, 14th, and 15th, was
consumed in discussing Mr. MoDufHo's resolutions
on the finances and tariff*. Mr. McDuffio addressed
the Senate at longth on the 13th, and was
followed the next day by Mr. Evans in reply, and
by Mr. Dayton on the 15th. On motion of Mr.

In the House numerous petitions are presented
from Pennsylvania, Maryland and Oliio, in favor
of Mr. W. C. Johnson's project of issuing $300,.
000,000 of U. S. stock to bo dividod among the
states. A debate of somo interest is in progress
on the report of the Committee of Ways and
Means adverse to this project, which has brought
op the repudiation act of Mississippi. Mr. Adams
introduced this topic, and was replied to by Mr.
Gwino of Mississippi, who was answered aud well
handled by Mr. Granger. No better proof of the
ewindling character of tho transaction need be
wished than is furnished by tho factt of Mr.
Gwinn himself. The appropriation bill is also
before tho House.
The House on tho 15th, passed a bill, changing
the compensation of members. It provides that
the pay for travelling shall be reduced frOni $8 to
4 for 20 miles?that if the session last more thart
two months, the pay alter that shall be reduced
(torn $8 to $6 per day for tho additional time, and
95 after seven months. ,
Tho President has sent to the House estimates
from the Secretary of tho Treasury, according to
which tho rccoipls into tho Treasury will somewhat
exceed the expenses. But lest there should
prove to be some error in tho estimates, tho Prosi..
dent earnestly recommends additional provisiOo
to bo made for meeting the expenses.

for the sale of the establishment, or for the cm
ploymcnt of an able editor to conduct it.

" incorporated."
Louisiana.?Gov. Mouton of Louisiana, fur.
nishes in his inaugural tho following picture of the
financial condition of the state.
*' I loarn with deep mortification and regret
from the treasurer's reports and otherwise, that
there is now dun by ths state to our banks, in
round numbers, one million two hundred thousand
dollars; that there is due for salaries, interest and
other ordinary expenses, about two hundred thousand
dollars; that there are stato bonds, for the
payment of which the stuto has no guarantee, to
the amount of one million two hundred and seventy-three
thousand dollars, on most of which bonds
interest is duo and unpaid ; that there are state
bonds to a largo amount for which tho state has
the guarantee of the stockholders of the Citizens'
Bank and Consolidated Association of Planters
now in liquidation, on which the interest will
probably not he paid ; that the ordinary expenses
of the government exceed and have for several
yoars exceeded its ordinary income by more than !
two aunureu muununa uouars ; mm mere is noining
in oar exhausted treasury; that the state can
no longer borrow a dollar from her own banks, and
that the people are taxed as heavily as they can
bear. This is indeed a deplorable situation of our
*fftirs."

OPINION OF TBB COURT OF INQUIRY IN
TUB CA8B OF TBI 8OXRR8.
The Washington correspondent of a morning
paper, has obtained a copy of tlie opinion of the
Court of Inquiry, in thn case of the Somers mutiny,
which we subjoin. It is a full and explicit ac.
quittal of Commander Mackenzie,?an ample justification,
by the Court, of the course which that
officer found it necessary to pursue in the painful
circumstances in which he was placed. Nor docs
the opinion stop here. A high and just encomium
is passed upon Commander Mackenzie, both for
his humanity and his bravery. The good conduct
of his officora is also warmly commended. In all
these respects wo believe the opinion of the Court
accords with sound and intelligent public sontiinent:
U. S. Ship North Carolina, )
January 20th, 1843. $
Present,
Commodore Charles Stewart,
Commodore Jacob Jones,
Commodore Alexander J. Dallas,
Ogden Hoffman, Judge Advocate.
The Court, after due deliberation, resolve to re.
port the facts and circumstances of tho case submitted
to them, and to deliver their opinion upon
the facte, as follows:
In execution of tho order of the honorable Sec.
rctfi^wf the Navy, the Court, with tho exception
of jw sfthfawr, who are in confinement, exam,
incf! every oDIcer, seaman, and apprentice, be.
loii|^|t|rto tk V> 8. brig Soincrs, in her late cruise,
and jmanlmqualyu report the following facts as
pro??2rtO ths satisfaction of tbo Court by tho tcsti.
mony, the rectBSid of which they have the honor
herewith to suBmit.
That on the 27tlvNovember, 1842, in lot. 132-1
16, arid long. 41 94 45, Commander Mackenzie
discovered that a mutiny had been organized on
board the brig Soincrs.
The Court Author finds that such a mutiny did
exist, ?nd that gkaidshipman Philip Spencer, boatswain's
mate Samuel Cromwell, and seaman
ElisKa Small meae ringleaders in it, and that o'hers j
of the crew bad> knowledge of its existence and |
partici*?Uadi|0^||| g?j|t.
* ',ttl November, midshipman Spenccr
w,a?^?l^ete^ ?ed, confined in irons, that on the
d%y,boatswain's mate Cromwell and
-?? jhvh vrra dtuo connncu in iron*, and at i
th* Uwy wffan confined, it was the intention |
f Qsmmander Mackenzie to bring them to the
lotted States to be tried by the laws of their country,
and {hat to cfTcct this desired object, Compander
Mackenzie adopted every measure that a
brave, prudent, and skilful officer could adopt.?
That during the confinement of the prisoners, sollenness,
discontent, icattention to duty, disobedi- >
cnce to orders, often as seamen know, and naval
records prove, the sole precursors to open acts of
violence and blood, were manifested by the crew, '
and justly excited tho belief in the commander and
officers, that an attempt would bo made to rcscuo
the prisoners and take the brig from those to whom
she hud been entrusted by tho Government.
The Court farther find, that there was no place
on board the brig which would have given greater
assurance of protecting the prisoners from a rescue,
than the quarter deck, on which the prisoners
were confined.
That Commander Mackenzie, in tho responsible
situation in which he was placed, sought, as it
was his duty to do, the advice and counsel of his
officers, and that tho unanimous advice and opinion
of those officers, after an examination of somo
of the crew, and careful deliberation, was that the
safety of tho brig Somers depended upon the immediate
execution of midshipman Spencer, bout
swain's mato Cromwell and seamen Small.
That Commander Maokcnzic, in pursuance of
the advice of his officers, and in obedience to the
dictatcsof his own judgment, did execute, by hanging,
midshipman Spencer, boatswain's mate Cromwell
and seaman Small.
That such execution took place on the 1st December,
1842, io latitude 17 deg. 34m. 28s., and
longitudo 41 deg. 24m. 45n., and that the brig at
the time of the execution was, by log, distant from
St. Thomas 525 1-2 miles, at which place sho arrived
on the 5tb December, 1842.
Tho Court farther find that the conduct of Commander
Mackenzie had been kind to his crew, attentive
to their wants and their comforts, that he \
was studious to promote the knowledge of their ;
profession, and that no punishments were inflicted
greater than wore rendered necessary by tho discordant
nature of the crew, and the proper discipline
of a man-of-war.
The Court farlhor find that the conduct of Commander
Mackenzie, Lieutenant Gansevoort and j
tho officers of tho brig, was, during the trying
scenes through which they passed, collected, calm ,
ana brave, and justified tlie confidence reposed in
them by their country.
OPINION.
The Court are therefore of opinion :
That a mutiny had been organized on board the
United States brig Somen", to murder tho officers
and take possession of tho brig.
That midshipman Philip Spencer, boatswain's
mate Samuel Cromwell, and seaman Elielia Small,
were concerned in and guilty of such mutiny.
Tiiat had not the execution taken place, an attempt
would have taken place to release the prison,
ers, murder tho officers, and tako command of (lie
brig.
That such an attempt, had it been made in the
night, or during a squall, would, in tho judgment
of the Court, from the number and character of tho
crew, the email size of the brig, and the daily decreasing
physical strength of tho officers, occasioned
by almost constant watching and broken
slumbers, have been successful.
That Commander Mackcnzio, under these cir.
cnmstnnccs, was not bound to risk tho safety of
his vessel, and jeopard tho lives of the young officers,
and tho loyal of his crew, in order to sccuro
to tho guilty tho forms of trial, and that the imincdiate
execution of tho prisoners was demanded by
duty and justifiod by necessity.
Tho Court aro farther of opinion that throughout
all these painful occurrences, so well calculated
to disturb tho judgment and try tho energy of tho
bravest and most experienced officer, tho conduct
of Commander Mackcnzio and his officers was
prudent, calm anil firm, and that ho and thnv Hon.
oral?ly performed their duly to the service and their
counlry.

Tho New York Commercial Advertiser, cloVX
a notico of the proceedings of the N. Y. Legislature
with the following paragraph :
" Finally wo perceive that a joint resolution
has been introduced requesting Congress to pay
Amos Kendall's debts, or discharge him from the
limits of Washington whether they are paid or
i not; n9 to which wo can only wonder how this
vmiio IU us mo uiiBiuctu OJ ine ilCW I or* JjBgllllturc.
Amos is not a citizen of New York, wo
believe, nor is his liberty or >mprisonmont a concern
in which New York is interested. Pcihsps
it would be as well to abolish the national Congress
at once, and lot all the national business bo done
by the state Legislatures."
The Hon. John Mattocks, a member of Congress
from Vermont, has declined a re-election after
serving six sessions. lie says, in a letter to his
constituents?
" I havo never mado a tpeeeh in Congress. It
is known to you that nil my lifo lias been chiefly
devoted to my profession, and to many of you,
that in early life I had no taste for politics, and,
of course, never had more than a common-place
knowlcdgo of pnbl'c affairs, such as every man
who loves his country should acquire; and I knew
I had not a sufficient fund of information, nor a
manner attractive enough to enlighten or interest
the rcspeCtablo body of which I was a member.?
And as for speceiw* made for Bunkum, as those
are called that arc spoken not to bo heard, but to
be sent home and printed in the district papers,
their delivery is always distressing to all concerned.
Besides, when I came into Congress, there Wtl'C.

was great, and the supply v.and being ambitious
of distinction, and having the vqnity to believe
myself tolerably well qualified for this arm

but silent corps of hearers, and my *c\-! accordingly

shockingly murdered on his return home, a few
days ago. in the mountain region of Virginia, by
two mon who travelled with him the principal part
of the d iy on which he was murdered. It seems
that he was shot by a pistol in the back part of
his head while passing through a lonesome region
country; he fell from his horse instantly gasping
for breath. Tho robbers thereupon rifled him of
his pocket* book, and were in the act of riding off
when they were suddenly brought to a stand by
the appearance of two mountaineers, who happened
to bo closo by, hunting game in the woods.
It appears that the two hunters had not separated
long in the forest before they heard the report of
tho pistol, and each taking it for granted that tho
other had shot at something, they both ran to see
what had been shot; but fortunately bounded into
the road about the same time, one a little above
and the other a little below the robbers. Seeing
the sight described, they quickly sprang the triggers
of their rifles and hid the murderers stand or
die. On approaching Lea they found him in the
last agonies of death ; but he was able to tell who
shot him, und who robbed him ; he also told the
hunters that the robbers had missed his money,
which was concealed in his coat collar; and a few
moments after this he expired. The hunters then
jnarched the robbers to tho villago jail.?Milton
Chronicle.
THE F1.Y1NO MACHINE.
! A Mr. McDcrmott, in Louisiana, writes to the
New Orleans Tropic tho following description of
allying machine of his invention. Ho acknowledges
that he finds it difficult to " embody'' this
"conception of the mind.'*
" I have a kilo one hundred and ten feet in
length, twenty feet broad, and tapering to each end
li|e the wings of the fish-hawk. Under the ccntro
of1 the kite I have a frame eighteen feet high, in
wnich T stand. Under tho kite are four wings,
w hich operate horizontally, like the oars of a boat.
Tho blades of the oars are each twenty square
feet in surface. They aro moved by tho muscles
of the legs. The blades of the oars are made of a
series of valves, resembling Venetian blinds, so
that they open when they move forward, and close
when the stroke is made. The wood part is of
canes, the braces of wire?the kite of cotton cloth,
ho tail of the same material. Tho kite has an
angle of ten degrees to the horizon."
A man in New Orleans has invented another,
which lie thus describes:
" A hollow machine, about twenty feet long, is
made precisely in the shape of the body of a bird,
and insitlf this will stand or sit tho serial navigator
when he makes his experiment?by light and
simple machinery working a pair of wings
modelled precisely after those of a bird."
A DIIAVE DAUGHTER.
In the Memoirs of tho Duchess of St. Albans
t is related that Sir John Cochrane, being engaged
in Argylc's rebellion against James II. was taken
prisonor after a desperate rcsistunco, and sentenced
to bo hanged. His daughter having noticed that
the death warrant was expected from London,
attired herself in men's clothes, and twice attacked
and rohlicd the mails, between Bedford and Berwick,
which conveyed the death warrants, thus
delaying the execution and giving timo to Sir
John Cochranc's father, the Earl of Dundonald, to
make interest with Father Peter, a Jesuit, King
James' confessor, who for tho sum of five thousand
nounds aorreed to intercede with bis roval master
I ' " "J ?
in favor of Sir John Cochrane, and to procure Inn
pardon, which was cflccled.
