There were fur things, he said, relating to finance which this Congress must enact: First, it mnst provide for unrestricted coinage of America! silver; second a law must be passed for tbe issue of treasury notes to take the place of the banknotes', third, the larger portion of tbe surplus in the Treasury must be paid out in liquidation ol tbe interest-bearing public debt; fourth, it tnnbt forbid, by law, any further dis crirainet OD a:ainet silver coin.

Also a communi cation from the Secretary cf the Navy in compliance with law, showing the number of clerks, etc., in the Navy Department, and also a memorial of the Legislature of Mississippi favor ing the Eads cat.il ship railway. The paners we e appropriately referred. Petitions were presented by Sena- ' t rs LoiBD, Sawyer, Wilson, Cockrell, Palmer, Coke, Miller N. Y., Harri son, Plumb and Dawes from various assemblies tf Knights cf Labor, pray ing for the opening up to settlement of the Oklahoma lands and the grant ing of lands in severalty to India"!; aleo a number of petitions praying that a constitutional amendment be submitted by Congress to the several States forbidding disfranchisement on account cf sex. A memorial of the Kansas Legisla ture was presented by Senator Iogalls, urging to ogress to provide for rights cf way for railroads through the In dian Territory. A memorial of the same body was presented by Senator Plumb, sttting forth that thecoarte of Land Commis sioner Sparks in indiscriminately and indefinite. y suspending land titles was working great hardship to tona fide - stttlers in that State, and while net wishing to interfere with any effort that would prevent the fraudulent ac quisition cf public lands the Legisla ture urges Congress to take such et?ps . as may be deemed necessary to secure foe earliest practicable settementcf the question involved in order that the injury to bona fide settlers may be . as slight as possible. The papers were appropriately referred. Senatr Ingalls offered a resolution, which was agreed to, directing the Committee on Finance to inquire into the propriety of making such an amendment to the Revised S alutes as may be necessary to require the issue of United States notes of the denomi nation of one and two dollars. Senator Eustis offered a resolution directing the Finance Committee to inquire whether it bad been the cus tom for the Assistant Treasurer at New Orleans to receive deposits of standard silver dUiars iroin shippers of said co b, and to inane to their cor lispoidenta at New Orleans receipts for the silver, subject t count, and to issue silver certificates alter the count of said dollars so deposited had been made, and whether raid custom, if it had prevailed, had been changed by instruction of the Treasurer of the Uaited Statea and the reasons therefor ; a io, whether such custom was now in lorce at air other Hub-Treasury; also, whether there was adequate clerical force at tbe New Orleans Sub T-es-ury, and, if not, why assistance was nscessary there to enable the Sub Treasurer to carry oat the law. The New Orleans Sub-Treasury, Mr; Emtis ia!.d, bad refused to receive a ship ment of (15,000 of silver from the Memphis, Tenn., Bank of Commerce and tb Waco Slate Bank of Waco. Tex. If that statement should be substantiated, Mr. Eustis continued, and if it should be proved that custom of receiving silver had prevailed at New Orleans, and it was not violative of law, and that it now prevailed in New York aad other places, then, Mr. Eustis said, the otli cial who had approved of the change of custom in tbe city of New' Or leans exposed himself to very grave suspicions, to say the least of it, with reference to a secret warfare against tbe silver dollar. Mr. Eustis would make no charge in the absence of proof, but he warated to get at the tacts. Snoit remarks were made by Sena tors Ingalls, Teller and Uorman. During turther discussion of -the resolution Senator Sberman tcok the floor in its eupi ort. He said the in quiry was entirely proper, and that tbe Senate had a perfect right to any thing on the ex scutive files, either it latins to this subject or to executive aopointmenis, suspensions or re nt ivala. This precipitated a debate npon the question so long pending in caucuses and committee meetings and secret sessions as to the right o( the Senate to information regarding rsmova'a. At tbe close of Mr, Sherman's re marks, tbe resolution of Mr. Eustis went over until to-morrow, and alter an executive seesioi the Senate ad journed.

TIIE CUT IX THE HINDS OF A HOWLING MOB. Stores aiid lloises Sacked and Pil lagedAttacks on Defense less People. London-, Febru vy 6. The "starving mechanics" of London to-day held a mass meeting in Trafalgar Square around the Nelson monument and it resulted in a riot. The proceedings were opened with an assemblage of 10,000 men. Police were present in large numbers. They at once saw that the Socialistic element of London greatly- predominated in the crowd, which was aleo managed by well known Socialists, and extraordinary vigilance was ordered and to preserve the peace atjll hrzards. Conspicuous among the leaders of the multitude was Mr. Burns, who ran as the Social ist candidate in Nottingham in the re cent election. He sneered at tbe po lice and acted generally a iif be wished to bring about a conflict between them and tbe people. Finally, he ascended the pedestal cf the Nelson column for the purpose cf delivering a harangue. He was well aware this act would not be tolerated, and the police polite y ordered him to get down. ' This be re fased to do, appealing to the crowd lo resitt ''interference with the exercise of popular rights." The cliicerp, however, were determined and they pushed their way through the excited and resting mass of hu manity, and by force removed Mr. Barns f om the pedestal. By this time the crowd had vastly augmented, and the streets adjacent were packed .with surging mobs. Tbe stir in the e'evatsd spot where tbe Burns inci dent took place, was easily percepti ble ; almost the entire area covered by tbe concourse and the sight of helmiti and uniforms into a struggle, was ac cepted as visible proof of the com mencement of the "riOBT AGAINST TBI LAW." The intelligence was responded to with a general and fearful howl, and an attempt sd rush from all directions to tbe point of interest. Burus had now been removed some distance from the posit on he had attempted to occupy. He became emboldened by toe criea of tbe throng, and mads a desperate effort to recover his lost greund. He was so effectively helped by the mob that the officers on the spot were brushed out cf tbe way and the orator wai soon pressed up against the monument. He quickly re ascended the monument, accompanied by a number of ether t'ocialist leaders. Burns bore a red 11 ig, and he waved it to the assemblage as a signal of his triumph over the authori ties. He was greeted with deafening shouts, repeated again and again. Burns then leisurely finished his ad dress. He thfip read a fiercely-woi (led reBoiiflt'.,iIrisV tWjcanced the "au thors of the present distress in Eng land," and demanded that Parliament start public works to give employment and bread to the t:ns of thou'ands cf deserving men wbo were oat of work through no fault cf their own, but be cause of bad government; to afford every facility for the employment ot British capital at home for tbe benefit of British people, and to give Br t.sh enterprise preference over foreign, and assei ted that the time had arrived for Parliament to earnestly legislate f)r the relief of the depressed in the ENGLISH AOEICULTCBAL INDUSTRY. The revolutions demanded the im mediate appointment of a minister of commerce and a minister of agricul ture, and concluded with the resolve tbat copies should be forwarded to Mr. Gladstone, Lord Salisbury, Mr. Parnell and tbe Board of Public Works. Tbe reading of the resolutions was accom I anied by fierce comment aad short explanatory speeches by tbe various orators who stood with Burns. Some of these orators went so far as (0 warn the government tbat although the "starving mechanics' of London are now fct. erupting to draw attention to their needs by quiet and peaceful agi tation, they were bound to gat bread, and would get it by attacking tbe baker-ohops next, if J tbe 'government did not come to their relitf. Boms himself, in one of these side speeches, denounced the present House of Com mons as a body of landlords and capi talists, for whom banging was too good. He aleo declared that tbe peo ple hadiasiembled to summon Parlia ment to immediately relieve the dis tress of Ihe British workingmen; tbat the people wanted the question settled at once and peacefully, if possible; otherwise revolution was inevi table. All this so aggravated tbe excitement of the huge mob thet the police reformed with increased force and made another assault. They succeeded in forcing their way up to tbe pedettil. They reached this .olnt just as the resolutions which bad already been offered and seconded were about to be submitted to the mob for approval. The officers at oiice ordered the proceedings to be discon tinued on tbe pedestal and command ded Burns and his colleagues to come down. ThiB they refused to do, and the clfisers thereupon DRAGGED THEM DOWN BY FORCE and drove them from tbe pedestal. It was evident tbat Burns expected that the application of force to him would precipitate n riot, and it was also apparent that the officers imme diately engaged in removing the ora tors feared an attack. But the men composing tbe mob were not yet in fighting humor, and the mob con tOLted itself for the time by booting tbe policoand smothering them with flour, dirt and garbage. The officers behaved admirably under this abuse aid showed no resentment. After their ejection neither Mr. Burns nor any of his colleagues made any fur ther attempts to get back. They at once left the scene and proceeded to tbe Reform Club building. They mounted tbe steps, pointed to the doors and windows, and bitterly de nounced the inmates. This looked like an attempt lo set tbe mob oa tbe building. The mob was exciUd, but not np to the point of violence vet. Burns and bis colls agnee, seeing this, vacated the Reform Club steps and proceeded to the Carllora Club, where they repeated their tactics. By this time the MOB WAS TREMENDOUS in numbers and verging on despera tion. Stories of what the police had said and done at the Nelson column had been circulated from mouth to mouth and exaggerated with every repetition until tbe "starving me chaaics" were convinced that the au thorities had actually dared them to a conflict. Such fire as was ready for ignition and within touching distance was inflamed by the speejhes deliv ered on the Cailttju Club't steps. The mob was split up into many di visions by being forced do mi tbe dif ferent streets by the prvrure from Trafalgar Square to get nrer tbe oc currences at the cluh-hon-es, and the various divisions started otf hooting, howline and challenging die authori ties. The invaded etrtnts were at once abandoned to tbe ricters, wbo, finding themselves no longer opposed, vented their ill will ayiiinpt well housed people and rga'nst toe clubs by stoning the dwellings and club houses along tbe way. At the time of closing these dis patches all tbat part of tbe city in tbe neighborhood of the National Gallery, Carleton Club and Reform Club is in possession c f the mob. Several faction fights have already taken place among the rioters and A FVBI0US MO 11 is now (7 o'clock p.ra ) marching through Su James street and Picca dilly on its way to Hyde Park to botd a meeting. Toe mob is cursing tbe authorities, attacking shops, sacking sn'oons, getting drunk and smashing windows. On its way to Hyde Park the front of the rn' b ivaia an etlott to enter the War Office but turned away when the sentinel at tbe entrance confronted tbe intrudars with his bar onet. Conspicuous among the build ings attacked by the mob was tbat oc supied by tbe Devonshire Club and that occupied as a residence by Mr. Arnold Morley, the newly appointed Patronage Secretary. The police along tbe route to Hyde Park were brushed ont of the way by the rioters as so many men ol staw, and many of tbe cllicers were terribly whipped f r their inter firence. NUMEROUS OUTBAOKS. Tbe mob continued its work cf de struction until a late hour. Hundreds of shops were sacked and many pri vate bouses were pillaged. The police were powerless, and the mob held full away unt l they dispersed of thei'own accord. Tbe mob was thoroughly En glish. It made frightful deiuonsirationp, was not resisted, and went to bed at the usual time. According 1 1 later estimatsa 15,000 persons engaged in the Trafalgar Square demonetratioa. Two-thirds of tae crowd were bona fide unemployed workingmen. The remalder were Socialists. At midnight quiet prevailed throughout the city. TIIE CHESS UIANIM.

The match between the chess giants was resumed this aftsrnoon at precisely 2 o'clock, before about the tame audience as on tbe previous days. Oa tbe third move one of the time clerks got out of order and stopped, and considerable time was consumed in getting a substitute.
