Father Richie has won the gold medal Father
Richie has astonished the people. Father Richie
has expressed the foreign news from Halifax! Long
live Father Richie An extra OF the Union was
issued to-day, detailing the whole stratagem, and
the grand coup dc main. At about o'clock this
extra was for sale IN the capitol Father Richie
the express through from Halifax to the Federal
city, thousand miles, in 64 hours and 45 mi.
mites. Another trial, and he would do i. in 81 AO
Hurfah for Father Richie!


The extra has nothing abou. Oregon, but Father
hitchle says he expects something tomorrow morn
British have not heard Of the war speeches in Con-
gress-very shabby, remarkably shabby inexc BILE
and unprovokingly shabby We shall be sorry, in
deed, II the Hinglish have not heard of our warke
demonstrations. Trouble may be ne srer 10 the
cotton bales than they think for


We are glad, on the other hand to hear it report
ed that Mr.. Pakenham has received lnstructionsto
settlement upon The line Of forty-nne, with con.
dluona tree navigation of the Columbia If il can be
had Such instructions, if they are received, may
possibly lead 10 an adjustment without further de-
mand than the offer OF the administrations and ther
we shall get along smoothly.


We refer your readers to the interesting proceed.
ings to-day in the House upon the final passage o
the bill approprlating somel 800 900 to harbors and
rivers in the several States After the passage Of the
bill, the ayes and noes were called upon motion to
adjourn over to Monday next, and, as will be seen
the motion tailed by several votes, when several
members, anxious tor an adjournment, but rather
afraid of the journal, manfuly changed their votes
with the air Of 'Who's afrad!" and the question
was carried-ayes 81, noes 81. We rather suspect
the adjournment was predicated upon the great vic.
tory OF Father Ritchie, In his express from Halifax
The remains Of Mr. Holden, (of the Saturdoy
Courier who suddenly died yesterday in this city
from congestion Of the BRAIN 1--WE suppose) were to-
day sent on to Philadelphia. We are gratifed to
learn, while we regret his untmely end, that he was
worthy and estimable man.


II is reported that Commodore Morris, Chief of
the Bureau OF Construction, Repairs and Equip
ment will be transferred to the late post of Commo-
dore Crane, as Chief of Ordnance and Hydrogra-
phy; and that a scientific naval mechanic, as re-
CURED by law, will be promoted to the vacancy thus
occasioned In the Bureau Of Construction.
