'-gwiit The Wahingtuif Corrrapondent of the Hal 1 1 more rairiot eivea the loiiowine ac cnont of a scene that tok place in the House between Messrs Wise and Adams, on I huratlar last There was a scene of great interest and excitement in the lluuse . f Representatives ilut ing the discussion of the Treasury note bill. Mr Adams addressed the Commit tee of the Whole upon the various topics that have been brought under consideration since this measure came up. In the course nfhiai- marks, he animadverted in very severe terms, upon the speech of Mr, Vie, and referred to a statement which he had seen in some ol the newspapers, that Mr. Wise would be toe leader ol the House. He intimated that the tone and manner I , V' " f I I "H i i.v," ,,. , w ' , .w. " " days'pasf, hid indicated a disposition on I It u part to take the lead. Mr. Adams tie dared, that he for one cnultl never be one of that gentleman's followers, and he pro ceeded lo eive his reasons.' IA doing so. he dwelt particularly and in a very point- eoVmanner on Mr. wise's" sentiments in regard tos duelling, ami hliaded' tffsnme remarks which that gentleman had inatle a few days ago, characterising what had ta ken place between Mr. W. C. Johnson and Mr. Duncan, of Ohio, and the issue of the r controversy, as the "biter" fruits ol the anti-duellinir Uw. This reference called up Mr. Johnson, who; in a very in dignant manner, denounced the course of Mr. Adams in alluding to what had occur red between him and Mr. Duncan. Mr Adams proceeded, hnwever, in the same tone, commenting upon the practice nf du elling, and insinuating that certain south ern members had been in Ihe. haoit of ta king advantage of the state of public senti mentis jn. ihwJfo.rthi -.-.mj k Ihatsfubjcct brow oeat ana insult xortnero men. .Mr. Wise called Mr. Adams to order two or three times lor his personal allusions, and f(ir holding him 00 , due,i8t, bul ,he Ch'r rU'ed ,hat e remrk, wer ,,wt oul of order, and Mr. Adama proceeded. He had been manifested to broach, premature Iv, ineasHes for the coming Atlministra turn, and to recommend this, that and the other. In concluding, he recurred again tb Mr. Wise; snd'whilehe disclaimed any intention of giving personal offence, he re peated that some of the principles of that gentleman in regard duelling, were such a ought to be discarded by the House. I hat he was conbdent the measure which Mr. Wis had indicated, would never be the measures of Gen. Harrison, and that if he should become the leader of Ihe House. he (Mr. Adams) would never be found un der his siamla d. .'-I Mr. W. C. Johnson obtained the floor afier Mr. Adams sat dwn;ijut he yielded it.l.Mf,u.3yise.or a brjef explanarion.

He had felt anger and excitement. Had the gentleman from Massachusetts only gone as far as I expected, said Mr. Wise.) I would have replied; but so personal, malicious, barba-. rous, and unprovoked has been the assault, that had he been a man of my own years, I should have sal silent after the delivery,. and not noticed it in this House. Mr. Speaker, for the reason that the gentleman is nut young in years that in sia'ion he is far above my humble position for the rea son that he is a son of s former President of the United States, that he has himself been President, that the honor of my coun try is involved in his character and repu tation, I am tied here and cannot recoil upon him. The gentleman is gratified He has been indulged by the Chair anddie uouse. ti it is a source ot granot-aiion t him that he has made this attack upon a young man, who would not, and ought not lo be indulged by the House in replying in a similar spirit. I am sure that he has wounded the feelings ol many honorable men here, andMhat his speech, when report ed, will give no pleasure to many of his best and warmest Iriends. I do not believe that the honorable rVpresentatives from the Ntata, from the gentleman's own Stale, that old Massachusetts, for which I profess home f onr affections NO. 7. a love and venerai'mn, will countenance the idea that their Suuiliern brethren would lake advantage uf public aeniimrnt in Ihe North to inult and brow beat iheui!

We umlerttsntl that a man named uiitevTadTn coiiaty , , shot his wife on Saturday aiitn't. and then blew his own brains oul. The circumstances, as far as we learn them, are these. Nunley was a man of strong pas sions, and indeed we should suppose of a rull'unly disposition, as we understand he told one oF1iirBons71tireTort Tour years a go, that if be ever entered his house again he would shoot him. On Friday last he threatened to shoot his wife. On Saturday he returned fronvgunning, intoxicated, and on entering his house he drew a pistol and shot his wife, the bill passing through somewhere in the region of the shoulder. She fell, and he then picked her up. drag ged her to a bed, laid her upon it, ami himself beside her, drew another pistol and deliberately shot himself dead. The wo man was still living yesterday, but with little hopes of recovery. Such is the ac count as given to us. Richmond Star. P.S. Mrs-Nunley, who we staled yes terdsy, was shot bv her husband on Satur day, is living stilt, and hopes are entertain ed of her recovery. I he ball has been ex tracted. As lur as we learn the lacts, Nunley was a person of strong passions which his wile hail greatly ex iled by con duct of a most exceptionable character growing out of "domestic difficulties.

FYehuent mention has been made lately, in the English and continental papers, of the militsry league, for mutual defence. comprising almost all the Enropes.ii pow eis except France and Russia, and bearing the general title of the German Con feder ation. This prominence has been given t io consequense of the threatening posi tion assumed by France i and as the possi bility of vwar in Europe is not yet entire ly removed, it may be interesting to our readers to know of what elements the league is composed, and w.hat power il could bring into tluS field against the Gal lic nation. The army of the Confederation consists of 10 corns, 7 of which are' unmixed, and 3 mixed or composed of the rombined com plement of several -dvfferent states. . Du ring peace it ia not required that the whole amount ol each contingent shall be in ac tive service, many being away on leave, but it is requisite "that one-sixth of the foot and two-thirds of the cavalry should be al ways employed. - Those on leave, howev er, must preseiiHhewselvVs each Tear, and be exercised for six-weeks. I he following is the exact quantum of troops supplied by each stale, according to the last arrangement made by the Diet in December, 1830; nor is any state required to supply more than was at first settled, al though since that time (1821) the popula tion in some is considerably increased: Corps No. 1, S and 3 Austria contri butes three army corps, amounting in all 04,822 men,with 192 peicea of cannon. Corps No. 4, 3 and o Prussia contrib utes 3 army corps, amounting in all to 79, 364 men. with 160 prices of cannon. Corps JSo. 7 Uavar a contributes 1 ar my corps, amounting in all to 35,000 men, wttn .a pieces of cannon (lWpi-,HiaV Duthy of lesse, ami Baden, together, con tribute,? .army..f;orns, amognting in all. to 30,150 men, with tiO pieces ot cannon. Corps No. 9 Saxony, Electoral Hesse, and Nassau, together, contribute 1 army corps, amounting iu all to 21,718 njen, with 44 peice ol rsnnon. Corps N. 10- Hanover, Ilalstein, Lun enburg, Uiunswick, Mecklenburg Schwer- tn, Mecklenburg Mrehtz, Oldenburg, Tree towns of Lubeck, Bremen, and Hamburg, together, contribute 1 arm corps, amounts ing in all to 28,038 men, with 56 pieces .r - - . . oi cannon. The remaining confederate states, instead of forming any army corns, are required by nr last arrangement to lorm in common a botly of infantry reservr, which amounts in all to 11,366 men. In order to thelaiain- tenanre of these several forces, each state is required to contribute a certain sum to the general fund. The grand total amounts to 300,038 men, and 534 pieces of csnn.n. But it . must be obnerved that the numbers above . ., ,.l. ,i. ,.n;,.,l ,,',, f. i. .u. ...... ... .1 .u. : . earn ol the conleilerate states, and lhat in case of need the force actually contributed might probubly be doubled JV. Y. Com. Jldv. From the National Intelligencer of Friday, Fed. 5. The question of an extra session of Con gress, which has been for the last two months the subject of controversy in the newspapers, begins now to b much dis cussed in the circles of the Metropolis. gi ajriajaaaga-njBa- ; ".".' . After much consideration upon ihe sb jret (which has nerved lo modify bm.. what our 8it opiniuu in regard to it) )'.' ' . have arrived at ihe conclusion that ih Joesl'n.n of an Extra Session a as in effect . ecided by ihe People in N ember iaet f when they derided by a majoiity of a hun. rtred and" forty mid llmuoand voles, that ; that there should be a change vf the Chief Maf-i.irii of the United S-a'ea. Itv that decision they deteriuinrd that ihi-re should be a change of administration. a change of policy change in the iiieasurswiil Uov- ernnirnt. 1'hey determined thai Mr. Van Iturrn'a Ailiniiuiratiou slmultl rea-e on jtthe 4lh of"Mrih tprXl, and that General llarrisuu s Administration should begin on that day. To carry out their will, Ihe change of measures, Legixlative as well as Executive, ought, if it weie practicable, lu commence on that day. But, since that -change cannot then commence, as far as Legislator action ia necrstary. the Nation al Legislature uuht lo be called logrt'ier at the earliest conveuieut and practicable dav. The eff-ct of postponing any artion by the next Congress until u.e tlay fixed by the Constitution for their assembling (the) first Monday in December) will be to pro long Mr. Van Uuren't .Idinriiittrwion twel ve or eighteen months, alter its r.riti. tutional fe initiation! for it would lake that time, counting from the 4lli of March, to . I mgture in Congress any important meas ure. I he continuation nl Mr. Vaiiiitcrns Administration, eob-Tres-ury simI all!- An exaction of specie payineuts, and astill greater exaction on the 1st of July next, at a moment when the Banks are strug gling- to resume and to maintain resump tion, of specie payments! ....These ara sows of the inevitable consequences of a recess of Congress lor nine months. Instead of this, the people want new measures, which shall provide for iheir welfare, and which shall look both to the Government and front ihe Government to them. ' Their will in this respect can only be acrnmplished by' means of an Extra Session nf Congress. To oppose an Extra Session under tlustt circumstances, is virtually lo maintain that all measures of relief to tha people are to be postponed for some fifteen or eighteen months i that is to say, put oil until a laige part of the term of the Administration, which was to mature and adopt them, has passed away. Uut. it lha view of Uie question of an Extra Session were restricted to the con-? dilionofthe Government alone, without tegard to the wants and the good of the People, an amrntative decision ol it would be inevitable, There is now, inciuiiesta- bly , a deficient revenue... During the next ordinary S-ssion of Congress five millions more ol this drhcient revenue will be ab stracted by the operation of the Compro mise act, one half of which amount goes off" on the 31st of December d this year. Suppose Congress not lo. meet ' until the first Monday nf that month, how is it pos sible In provide in season fur this addition al deficiency? How, we. repeal, and give reasonable notice to the merchants to reg ulate their importations? But, if the People had not derided in favor of an Extra ,-ession, and if the con dition of the Government did not rrquire it, our opponents have resolved, by their rourse during Ihe present Session, lo ren der it inevitable. They seem determined to leave every thing in the s'ale of tha greatest tonfusion. They have not made, and refuse to make, any provision for the deficit -in the Treasury. Their financial hrwe;:s&ej.,n due-bills, or Treasury 'Notes, to supply present necessities. ' These, I hey think. Lwill rrlieve them, although they know that ' the charge which they will make upon the two )as quarters nf the year must great y embarrass ihe new Adininislraiio'i. In one Pbrahr h "of Congress, which have expired or this Session, scarce ly any thing has been done; whilst in the ; other, four weeks have been spent of ihe most precious time of Ihe Session in pas- sing a pre-emption law, though there is one already in existence. We feel fortified in the convic tion of the indispensable necessity of an Extra Ses sion of Congress by the repugnance with which our good friends of the present Ad ministration party regard it. They appear to be greatly- grieved and shocked by the - - idea of It. Without H they know thatAet'r , measures, their imple mens, Iheir instru. ments, will continue to operate. With it, ,,. they see the prospect of the establishment of those salutary measures of relief, of re- ... the People . demand, and ihe yfiiii,. People has decreed. ' --.i:. Some, who have not well reHecfed upon the subject, seem to apprehend that as Mr. Van Uuren had, early in his term, an abor tive Extra Session, an Extra Session now . ; mav nrove injurious to the Ailminialratirin of Gen. Harrison. But. for what purpose was his Extra Session called? ; Was it to relieve the People? ' No sot h thing. Ihat. " ; ? i purpose was etpressly repudiated. It w-"-:t-' called to propose that last most disastrous link in the chain of rash experiments, the . Sub-Treasury. It was called, not for the r," People, but fur the Office holders. Gen. Harrison's Ex'ra Session, should he sum. mon one, will be convened for the benefit 4", snd for the interests both of the People . "' ' and of the Government, " y i" . " The occasion has seemed tons to call. - for the expression nf our views of this sub ject, sml we hsve not shunned it.
