Both Houses presented scenes fr >f violence, coifusion, haste and vul. ti ;arity, of a truly disgraceful character. 3il paragraphs as these - occur very tb requently in the report: th "Great confusion prevailed all ov- or -r the Iall, and the galleries and lob- ei Acs were crowded with spectators." r Again, says the reporter: P "Sundry violent struggles were oc- C asionally made to obtain the floor, a aundred or iore gentlemen rising at ti mnee, and shouting out 'Mr. Speaker,' or ieverally holding up the bills they b: vere so anxious to have consideret1 se l'he scenes occasioned much laughter." i. Once more he pauses ini his labors, to in iend this over the wires: te "It was eight o'clock. The galler- ti es were densely crowded, and lobby ti nembers present increased in num- al >ers. So much noise and confusion ar )revailcd, that it was next to impossi- tL ile to comprehend the legislative pro- di ,cdings. Memberswere continually fr, roing to and returning from the outer til -ooim, in which were liquid and solid ly 'efrwshments. Amendments to Navy hI >ill still discussed and voted on. Some e3 nenbers, weary of the dry proceed- vi ngs, retired to chat with lobby friends pi md smoke segars. The falling of a n ady's fan from the gallery, hitting an it! ionorable below upon the head, but d< iot seriously wounding him, excited sa ;ome little merriment. Just about p( :his moment a burly old member came bi nto the Iiall with a hunk of bread and tli iam in his hands eating thereof pi iiost heartily." tlI Two hours later, he records: 1 "It was now half-past ten o'clock, tL he number of spectators seening to nerease rather than diminish, tihe ex- st :itement all over the Hall continuing w vithout abatenient." ri Towards midnight, or later, says ti he telegraph, it! "Mr. Houston, the Chairman of ft Ways and Means was, fromi the of- im bets of excessive labor unable to cx- ci lain the various amendments. The te .lerks had become hoarse from con- l inued reading. The sofas in the c( obbies were now occupied by mem- tl jers asleep, and only a few within he bar seemed to be interested in the tl lull proceedings of the Indian Appro- a riation Bill." At half-past three, the following cir- i :urnslance occurred: tc "A drunken man of genteel appear- tI mnce was aroused from sleep in the pi senate Chamber, and commenced bas- te heming in a loud and boisterous man.. fe ier, disturbing the proceedings of the at senate. The oflicers were directed si ,o put him out-this was accomplish- tli 3d with great difliculty, and he was tl omniitted to prison under the Capi ;o."1 so _In the midst of such unusual seenm to ns these, the most importnt nens ~e ires were passed, and others. no less is mnportant, rejected. Is it not shame- to bal, that the afiuhirs of this great coun-. e: ry should be tranated with such nt mcadlong carelessness? If thie aflTirs of Ii' he mocst insignificant private estab- hi ishment were so managed, it would mi iot merely bring down upon its pro- mi >rietors instant r'uin, but universal de- g< ision and contemipt.

On Sunday morning last, about daylight, while Mr. A. A.

We understand that a box of matches, and some combustible ma terials were found on the premises, which had evidently been used in set titig fire to the house; who the villian is, or what his purpose can be, in thus seeking to destroy the property of one of our best and most unofending citi zens, we cannot conjecture, but sim eerely hope th.it stro00n g mii easure s nay be used to discover him, and summary punishment inflicted ; this is the third attempt of the kind that has been made in our town within a very short period.

General Shields has been a candi date for the oflice of Minister ' to Spain, which he desired on account of his health, but it is understood that Senator Soule will receive the appoint ment. Gen.

W To-day, in reply to a gentleman who asked him how he liked the air of Washington, Gen. Pierce said, "I don't know, for I have not laid the op. tunity of getting a breath of fresh air; have not even time to shave," which was evident by looking at the President's face. At the cabinet councils held on Sat urday evening and to-day, the Mos quito affair was anxiously discussed. I cann6t furnish you with the details, but I have reason to believe there will be no want of pluck. General Pierce has declared that his administration will, at all events, be an effective one.
