Congressional.
In the proceedings of ibe House of Repre
sentatives, ou Tuesday, the following debate
occurred :
Mr. Leake, of Va., desired to a«k Mr. Ed
wards it be believed tliat a man who favored
tbe abolition of slavery by violence,and ibe
encouragement of civil tli cord la any of tbe
Si.ties oi tiie I 'nioii. was fit to be Speaker of
the House. For himself, he would say that
that portion of the Union which he repre
sented would consider tbe ejection of B man
who had endorsed the Helper booh aaa pre
meditated insult, a.iil would lake such steps
to resent that insult as the occasion might tv
quire,even il that step be the lirst towards
tbe dissolution of the Union.
Mr. Ed wards said that the doctrine ofthe
book was au abstraction, uad that the discus
sion which had arisen upon it was the discus
sion of ai> abstraction.
My. Houston, of Ala., desired to ask Mr.
Edwards, If he was opposed lo resolutions
setting a rule of action for the House in the
election of a Speaker, bow could he vote for
John Sherman, who in the 34th Congress led
oil in a series ul similar resolutions, declar
ing that tn.' man was lit to lie Speaker wh >
approved oi ttie repoalaf the Missouri Com
promise.
Mr Clarke, of X. V , desired to ask Mr. El
wants if lie would vole for a man who in his
heart maintained the prescriptive and intol
erant doctrines of the Helper book as read from
tne Clerk's desk.
Mr. Edwartis said that in private conversa
tion he would not object to reply to the gen
tleman, but as a representative uu this floor,
he did not fee! called on lo explain anything.
Mr. Morris, of l'enn , would say in answer
to Mr. I.cake, that if he did not know from
Mr. Sherman that be was bitterly opposed to
the horrible doctrines of the Helper book,
winch tiad been ro id at the «'lerk's desk, he
would not vote for him. He knew that Mr.
Sherman was opposed to any interference
wiih the relation of maater ami slave.
Mr. I.cake desired to know if, when Mr.
Sherman endorsed the Helper book, whatever
his ignorance about it misfit have beets, did ho
not know ibat it was. a book ia tended to Inter
fere with the relation of master and slave
iciteiin ttie sovereign Slates.
Mr. Morris replied that if the resolution of
Mr. Clarke was withdrawn, Mr. Sherman
could then, without injury to his self-resect,
explain his sentimenta in regurd to every page
ot the Helper book if need t _•, and would do
so.
Mr. Lieukesaid that not only Mr. Sherman
tun Afty-oneotker gentlemen nn the other side
hat) endorsed 'hat book. The resolution of J_r.
Clarke was directed at the whole of them.
Mr. Bdsrards ooa tinned his ie_aarksund was
succeeded by
Mr. Wright, of Term., who addressed 'he
House for sjine tune in opposition to the prin
ciples of Ibe Black Republican party. In the
course of his speech, Mr. Wright desired lo
Know if Mr. Hill, of Georgia, hat! not said
that in the event of the refusal ot Congress to
protect slavery in the Territories he would fa
vor a dissolution of the Union.
Mr. Hill declared thai though a friend ofthe
Union, yet iv that contingency he would go
go with the extreme men of ihe South for ex
treme measures. (Applause from the South.)
Mr. Farnsworth explaited his position in
regard ip the circulation of Southern
speeches.
Mr. Leake,of Va.. in alluding to the quota
tion from Gov. Wise, made the other day by i
Mr. Stokes, in which (iov Wise is reported
to have said that he won id light for ttie rights j
ot Virginia within the Union, said Governor |
Wise or no other Governor had the right to
spunk for Virginia. She had representatives on
this floor to speak her sentiments. Hedtd not J
justly represent Ihese sentiments. From ITBfl
until now, Virginia had never though' ouce of
stirring uplutsstias war within the Union.—
Whenever her rights were invaded, and the \
hand of oppression laid too heavy upon tier, \
she would withdraw from tbe Unionandas- '■
sumo the sovereignty from which she had i
never parted. (Applause.) He ..corned to
stand with ihe Senator from New York, upon ]
higher law. Virginia demanded only those
rights and used only those remedies which !
were recognized by the Constitution. He had
no issue 10 make with Governor Wise. He
was able, talented and brave, but an erratic
and not the representative of Virginia senti
ment on this subject. He (Mr. Leake) spoke
for ihe tith Congressional District of Virginia,
a district which, both in geographical position
and in population, was the back-bone ol ths
State.

Scandal iv tbe4hurch.
A case in at present before one of tbe Eng
li.h Criminal Courts that excites great atten
■ ion throughout the country. The London
Times of December 17, in the course of an ed
itorial, thus states the circumstances:
"Mr. Boiiwell, formerly of Brattenose Col
lege, Oxford, is incumbent of St. Phillip., ;
Stepney, where he gei erally reside*, rooms
attached to the school room being Rtted tip
for his use. He is .1 married man, with one
• lull, urn! his wife, at the time of the com
mission of the alleged offence, kept a school
iv another part, of London, where Mr. Don
well occasionally visited ber. Ths lady im
plicated in the case was the daughter of a
clergyman named Vorath, liviog a: Newport,
in Monmouthshire. Last year Miss Torath,
then on a visit to Margate, became acquainted
wiih Mr. Boiiwell, wh.., it is asserted,gave
himself out as a widower, aad soon I. Mine
'he accepted -uitor of Miss Yoralh. lv De
cember the lady left Margate, in older, as her
friends thought, to return to Newport, but,
instead of d.ing so, stie remained, it is said, a
fortnight in London, iv lodgings hired tor her
by Mr. Boiiwell. There is uu necessi y for
following the steps of the history ; but In May
last she paid a second visit to Margate, and
Miss Ameo, the friend with whom she bad
been stay ing, perceived thai she was pregnant.
Indeed, it the evidence is to be believed, there
can be no doubt that Mr. Bonwetl seduced the
lady muter a promise of marriage.
"Shortly alter the fortnight lv L >urion, Mr.
B mwell visited Newport, and there, according
to the evidence ot ihe lady's brother aad other
persons, was guilty of ilie grossest misrepre
sentations. He presented himself as Miss Yp
r»;h saccepted suitor, and -hen and ai subse
quent visits was introduced ia this character
to all the friends ef ibe family. Not only did
he a widower, but said that
•his friend the Bishop of Oxford' would per
form the marriage ceremony, nnd wished the
Rev. Hugh Williams, Chancellor of Llandaff,
to'assist, - after tin- iaslnon which had pre
vailed oi late. The murriage was fixed tor
June last, but before that time it began to he
rumored that Mr, B»aarell was a married
man. Mr Lewis Yorath, the brother, br .ke
oil' the match. In August it tame to ttie Bish
ip's ears that Mr. B mwell had passed him
self oil as a single man to a family in the
country, aud bud prevailed oa a lady to mar
ry bim. The public will be a little startled a:
bearing that this conduct was thought by the
Bishop worth? only of a Severe reprimand,'
and thai Mr. Boiiwell was sent back from Lon
don Utilise to teach morality to his dock. But
within a few days his Lordship received tv.-.
anonymous letters, winch caused him to
place the matter in the bands af the police,
and it was discovered that a c_fld bad been
b .m iv the school-boose at St. Phillip's Step
ney, and buried under suspicions eirenmstaa
ces. It is beyond a doubi that Miss Yorath
was suddenly taken with the pains of labor
while visiting .Mr. Bn.weli; that she gave
birth to a male child; aad that, alter remain
ing twelve days at the school h oi-.'. she was
takeu, with ihe child, to a hotel on the other
side of Loudon bridge. Here the child died,
aad was carried aw ay ami buried by an nt d> r
iil.-er 111 a colli ii with another b niy. The child
was exhumed, ami a Coroner's jury returned a
verdict that ir died of inanition, and in express
term--censure i the conduct of the Rev. James
B.nweli.
'•Tue.-,!- facts being proved iv evidence, the
comi.iission has decided mat there are grounds
for v further inqui y n.io Mr. Bonwell-s con
duct.''
Act u.KN i' at i in; Sasdwk ii Islands—Nar
'. :r Ercapt .— The Sandwich Island Advertiser,
of November 3d, states ibat ihe bridge ov. r tbe
Wail oka river at Hilo, gave way on tbe .Ist oi
October, just aa a party of Ameiicana were
crossing ou horseback.
It appears that tbe party hat! been on a pic
nic excursion, aud were retaruiug to the town
in the latter part oi tbe afieruuon. It con
sisted ol Hon. S. L. Austin aud Mrs. Austin.

tin,) Miss I'r.itt. (sister oi Mrs. Cbarlea Brew
er,) Mrs. Hmes, Mrs. Ashley, Capt. Biackmer,
and .1. il. C mey, Esq , Sheriff o! Hilo.
A* a porti •!. of the party were crossing the
bridge ibe report of ibe snapping ol a chain
was beard, then a crash, aad <he bridge tipped,
1.i0i?.-and fell. The bridge was from fourteea
to eighteen feet above tbe water. Then- was
immediately ascent- in ihe waterofstruggling
men, women and horses. Mrs. Austin waa
pulled out of the wai. r, bu' ber horse a .is
drowned. Captain Burdett held ou to the
rail of tbe bridge with one aim, which wept
him from going down.
Mr. Burdett wns for a time in extreme per
il, but was rescued. Mr. liana was ia the
middle of the bridge when it broke, ami weni
into the liver with bis horse, keeping ins seat
in the saddle; but both becoming involved in
the wreck of the bridge, Mr. Buna got a blow
on the foot which fractured a boae and bruis
ed bim somewhat. Leaving his horse be
' awamtoa par; of the bridge, bnt that break
ing down, he swam to tbe upper rail, aad came
over that by bead to the shore, whi -h b<- wiub
tbe last to reach.
Thus all the party, to whom death or seriou
injury waa Imminent, were saved. Mr. Itaua j
appears to be particularly unfortunate. The

library of the Bishop, presented it to him as a

I taste and tidiness, and proceeded with it to
; the usual place —bin BO Bishop was there:
j and Bishop Odenheiuier being absent, there
were no living hands to receive their accus
tomed gift. The thought struck tliem that
I there was one place where it could be appro
-1 priately bestowed, and with solemn steps the. c
' young Indies proceeded to Bishop Home's
