Mr McClintock, who killed Gen. Holland (shot him down in the street) for criminal intercourse with his wife, was tried and found guilty of manslaughter in the second degree. Much surprise was expres sed at the verdict of the Jury, which verdict was a fine of $1000 and imprisonment for six months. The Judge remitted the imprisonment upon the ground, as we understand it, that the Jury exceeded their authority in imposing it. The public feeling was evidently with McClin tock, for the amount of $1000 was immediately- made up among the citizens by voluntary con tributions, and the fine paid and Mr McClintock released.

Professor Loomis describes this vibrating as producing sounds like a l.iti.l L-nnrkinc nu the doors and walls of knilHinas. and cives a narticular account of the phenomenon, as observed at the dams of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio; East Windsor, Connecticut; Springfield, Massachusetts; Northampton, Massachusetts; Gardiner, Maine: and Hartford, Connecticut. He attributes the vibrations to the friction of the running water which falls over the dam, and shows how these sounds are transmit ted to a distance by the earth, and produce that sudden and alarming knocking sound in dwellings. Professor Loom is has point ed out very simple and easy methods of checking this vibratory action in the dams, and the people of Rochester, who have been troubled by an invisible spirit, will find it easily exercised by mechanical means.

Monday, Jan 7 T . 1 r . iu ineaeuac, there were a number of memo rials and petitions presented, not of an interest ing public character. Mr Clemens' resolution callinjr upon the Pre sident for inforrmuioo in regard to the agents sent Dy him to California, and the part they took in tormmg a Government there, was taken up. Several whig .Senator were anxious to .postpone or amend the resolution, but MrCle mens said he would have a vote upon it then, if possible. The Governor of Alabama nd the people had called his attention to the fact that the Government. under the direction of the President, had inter fered in the formation of a government in Cali fornia; and they believe a fraud has been at tempted to be. practised upon them, by those who were foremost in forming the government in California, by imposing the Wilmot proviso upon thern. Mr Douglass of Illinois, moved Jo lay the reso lution on the table for the present. On this mo tion there wer 29 yeas and 29 nays. The Vice President voted yea. So it was laid upon the table. The resolution calling for information in re gard to the abduction of Key, was passed. Mr Dickinson of New York, called up a reso lution calling upon the Postmaster General to say whether be had removed any deputy post masters whose appointments are made ,bj the President and Senate; and if so, what were their names, and tboe of the person appointed in their place, and what were bis reasons for the removals. This caused some little debate, one or two whig Senators opposing it. It was pas sed over and ordered to be printed. The resolution to suspend diplomatic relations with Austria was then taken up. Mr Cass said that in regard to the departure of the Minister to Mexico, before the session of the Senate, which he had censured, he had since received informa tion that he went in consequence of the instruc tions of the President, it being important that he should go. Mr Hale made one of his best anti-slavery ef forts on the occasion. He dealt considerably in ridicule ; and offered an amendment to include Russia as well as Austria. Mr Clay spoke next. He opposed the resolu tion. He thought that instead of closing the door to Austria, we should do as the S3 mem bers of the British Parliament did ; remonstrate with her, and endeavor to induce her to cease hjr hrrhnritirf He said that we do not send a from any other obligation to other parties, but to protect the interests of our own country ; to advance our commerce, and protect our citizens. If the resolution were passed, he did not think it could be defended. He thought thit if we were going to take upon ourselves the task of judging the conduct of other nations, that Russia was certainly as culpable as Austria, and indeed more so. We might with equal propriety refuse to send our agent to Turkey because the Turks tol erate bigamy. Mr Clay's arguments were cer tainly weighty and unanswerable. In the House, the only business done was the ballotting five times to elect a Clerk. Mr For ney, dem., received 107 Mr Campbell, whig, from 72 to 102 necessary to a choice 111. Tuksdat, Jan'y S. In the Senate, a number of memorials and petitions, of no particular public interest, were presented and referred to committees. Resolutions were presented from the State of Vermont, recommending Congress to establish a bureau of Agriculture in the Department of the Interior, as recommended by Mr Ewing. Also requesting the Senators and representatives of that State to oppose by all constitutional means the extension of slavery, and to abolish it in the District of Columbia. These resolutions elicit ed debate as to whether they should be even re ceived and printed. After consuming an hour, the subject was Liidover for to-morrow, for more debate and a decision of the question. Mr Cass' resolution to withdraw diplomatic intercourse with Austria was then. taken up. Mr Foote addressed the Senate in reply to Mr Clay. H cited a number of extracts of the speeches of Mr Clay in behalf of the Greeks and the South American Republics. It was not very effective, and it is apparent that the arguments against Mr Cass resolution will defeat it. : The Senate then adjourned. In the House, three ballottings were held for Clerk; but no election. The whigs dropped Mr Campbell and took up a Mr Foot, formerly a member of Congress from Vermont. But they succeeded no better with him. Wednesday, Jan'y 9. In the Senate, a number of petitious and me morials were presented ; among them, one asking that diplomatic relations between the U. States and Austria be suspended. Mr Seward of New York, offered a resolution declaring that the conduct of Austria and Ru.-sia towards Hungary, has been marked by oppres sion and barbarity, and justly deserve the con demnation of mankind. That a portion of the public lands ought to be set apart for the Hun garian refugees who come to this country, and for all others who come hither, flying from the oppressions of monarchs and despots. The reso lution lies over. After other unimportant business, the Senate proceeded to elect a Chaplain. Thirty otes were necessary to a choice Mr Slicer, of the Methodist Church, the Chaplain of last session, received 23 votes, the balance distributed among nine other names. No election occurred until the fifth ballotting, when Mr Slicer had 30. and Mr Butler, Episcopalian, had 30 a tie. f L ; L,bl Eduction vox. iorro. acnpZttgX whether the. Vice President had a right to give the casting vote. This being ended, the V.ce President ..id he was desirous of leaving it to the sense of the Senate, whether he should vote or not. If there were no objection?, he wowid. No one having objected, he voted for Mr Uutler. The Senate then went into secret session, and soon after adjourned. In the House, several more ballottings for Clerk were held; the whigs still sticking to Mr Foot; but without any result. Mr Ashe presented a petition from E. D. Vail and 1G others, lor a bankrupt law. A petition from Henry Savage and others, for a law indem nifying sufferers by French spoliations. Alio the petition of Patrick .Murphy and others of Sampson county fdr a bankrupt law. fdjr a fa TntraspAY, Jan'y 10. in me senate, Mr Clay presented the petition ofWm. A. S4dy, a lawyer of New York, who some 20 years uo recovered certain jewels from a thief who had stolen them from one of the Prin ces of Holland, (the Prince after makinsr lanre offers for their recovery, offered Mr Seely only a pmiui sum,; ana now asks the Congress to nav him a suitable reward, and deduct the amount from the monies due Holland, for th Am.t ..e Washington city. We were surprised to find Mr Clay advocating a proposition ot this sort. Mr King of Alabama, opposed anv such action Dy congress as this petition called for. The money due from this government to Holland, on account of the debt of Washington city, he said was due to certain citizen of Holland" who had loaned their money to the authorities of Wash ington; and it would he rank injustice to make those citizens suffer for the dishonorable conduct of one of their princes. Mr Clay said he was under the impression that a part of the money was due to the Government of Holland; if it was not, he would agree with Mr King, that it ought no t to be used in that way The petition was referred to the Committee on Finance. The Vermont resolutions about slavery were then taken up. Mr Chase, an Ohio iree-soiler, and Mr Hale the New Hampshire ditto, Mr But ler of South Carolina, and others, joined in de bate. In reply to some remarks of Mr Chase, Mr Butler stated that when the slaves of John Ran dolph were emancipated, a tract of land whs bought in Ohio for them, at a cost of $9,000; and when they went to Ohio, from Virginia, to settle on it, the white people, armed, drove them back across the Ohio river. -, Mr Chase attempt ed to deny this, but did not establish his denial. He said that those negroes were living in Ohio Were HOI IrVIHg upon tS, aIIIU jnt,,.mm .. u... purchased for them, and that there was no deny ing the historical fact that they had been driven from Oliio; but if they had gone there as run away slaves, they would have been allowed to stay, and their master could not have taken them away. Such was the morality of Ohio abolition ism. The resolutions were again laid over, and the Senate adjourned till Monday. In the House, ihe only. business done was the ballotting several times for Clerk. But no elec tion took place. Fkidav, Jan'y 11. The Senate did not sit to-day. In the House, four ballottings were held for Clerk. The whigs dropped Mr Foot and again nominated Mr Campbell. To-day, Mr Forney's friends began to lag, and Mr Campbell's . to whip up. Several democrats began to vote for Mr Campbell, and on the 4th ballot, eight democrats, among them Mr Venable of N. C, bolted and voted for Mr Campbell, giv ing him a majority of one. The House then proceeded to ballot for a Ser geant at Arms, but no election was effected. BLUsi TEH AND TRKAS0N. In an article on "the Slavery Conven tion at Nashville," the New 'York '-Mirror' says: the general lone of leading - South ern men partakes so mu h of the spirit - ef blaster and bravado, that we altaclt buf. little importance to their impotent threat ening to dissolve the Union. The dissolu tion of the Union is a moral impossibility Such a calamity could onlv be effected liv a1 majority in both l!ntia nf f'..n..MJ and we have too much fnith in the Almighty Ruler of nation, to believe that a dozen men in either branch of Congress, would ever be left so utterly abandoned of God and reason, as to raise a sacrilegious hand against the blood-cemented Union of the States. ;Tiic very first sagptcion of rebellion against the Union, -on the part of a single State, or a single individual, would bring the moral and physical force of twenty mil ions of Unionist upon the devoted hand of the offender. Treason is the very highest crime that can be committed against the State. This statue still eists, and the penalty under the Constitution i a sum mary and severe as the ancient code of Draco." The above is a fair specimen of the spir it and tnannner in which the Northern nrs4 speaks of Southern men and the slavery question. The Mirror is not particularly rabid. There are others much wore abu sive and denunciatory. Observe in what a matter if course style it says. "the general tone of leading Southern men partakes sa much of bluster and bravado, that w at tach but little importance to their i mooter. threats,' &c. The man speaks as if he were uttering a recognised truth, and is as cool about it as if he were paying a com pi imcnt, instead of asserting that the lead ing men of the South arc blustering, brag ging, impudent and lying bullies; tor that is the plain English ot wfiat he does sav. Yet the IMirror, we hare no doubt, sneaks what is the sentiment of the people about it. for all the other newspapers talk in the same way. INow suddosc the Snutliofn press should adopt an entiully complimen tary strain, and as Northern men mistake Southern ardor for bravado, the - South should set down Northern Coldness as cowardice, and denounce the Northern men daily as unprincipled and degr ailed poltroons. It would be quite as just as the and denunciation. The talk about "treason" and the 'nen- alty under the Constitution" is characteris tic, and illustrates the Northern crotchet. that dissolution is treason, and that some how if the Southern States endeavor to dissolve partnership, the North can have them taken to the City Hall at New York, try them for treason, and hang them at a lamp post This idea is prevalent among the cockneys, and is especially rank in in fant schools and nurseries. But fortunate ly the code of Draco" is not in conformi ty with the genius ot American institutions; and if it were, the North cannot raise a posse comitatus' big enough to put it in execution.

Ihe Banner ofhee was illuminated, and a torch light piocession wound through the streets, preceded by a band ol music, to his dwelling, where an address was delivered to a large concourse of our citizens, after which the v partook of refreshments handsomely prepared and courteously tendered by" the lamily in one of the rooms. Upon the return of the pro cession to the Banner idlice, an eloquent address was delivered by Stevens Thomas, esq. The procession also marched to the house of Col.
