ALEXANDRIA, D. C. % “ " THURSDAY MORNING, March 2. -rr-r-rrr, -, The Rev. J. T. Johnston, rector of St. Paul's Church in this place, has been elected Bishop of the Episcopal Church in Alabama A specimen of the “native coke” advertised in to-day's paper has been sent to this office, where its qualities can be seen and judged of by those interested. Colonel J. Cox has been re-elected Mayor of Georgetown. We understand that Mr. Senator Allen was par ticularly loud and boisterous agairwt the District Bank'. It is his wont to indulge in “the 'Erclea vein.”—Vox—et preltna nihil. The annual commencement of the Medical Col- j lege in Washington City, took place on the 28th ultimo. The address was delivered by Professor Lindsley. The Hon. Henry A. Wise has been nominated i to the Senate by the President of the United States, to be Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary to France. _*_____ And Henry A. Wise is to accept office—leave , the Commons House”—and go on a foreign mis sion ! “O Lucifer, sou of the morning, how art thou fallen!” In the Senate, on Tuesday, the amendment of the House to the bill to amend the laws regulat ing imprisonment for debt in the District of Co- j lumbia was concurred in. The amendment pro vides that no female shall be imprisoned in tills District with a mesne or final process. It is rumoro 1, and believed, that Mr. Forward has temporarily withdrawn his resignation of Se cretary of the Treasury; the effect of which will i be to enable the President to defer until after the adjournment of Congress, the changes which, are proposed to be made in the Cabinet. The Hon. Secretary ofThe Navy, an J Attorney General, who were diiected by Congress, lastses-! sian, to devise a rode -f rules ajid regulations for ; the Navy of the United States, have just laid be fore the House the result of their labors. « In the II mseof Representatives, on motion of Mr. C. J Ingrrsoll, the item in the Appropriation. Bill allowing $400,001) for the expenses of the courts, attornies, marshals, &o., of the U States, i was reduced to $300,000. This motion railed forth considerable debate, and elicited some ug- ( ly facts. Mr. SaMonstall showed by the report of the S dieitor of the Treasury, that that sane- J tiinnnious politician, P*. F. Butler, Esq. in one ^ rase brought forty suits on as many bonds against , the same parties—all of which might have been i prosecuted in one suit—and on account ol an er ror of his own, was obliged to discontinue the suits; that lie commenced them anew, and re ceived for the first suits from the United Stiles over >1200; costs, and on the second batch over >2,001) in another suit—a single case—his co>;s were over sr\ thousand dollars.

Mr. Allen moved the indefi nite postponement of the bill; and the motion ejuve rise to debate. Mr. Allen's motion w as re jected by the following vote : Yeas—Messrs.

Mr. Kino m >ved to lay the hill upon the table; but the motiondid not prevail—\aa> H, nays g . Mr. Allen pr ‘pv»ed an amendment to make the stockholders liable tor all the obligations ot the bank. This gave rise to an extended debate, in which Messrs, Allen, Benton, Miller, Walker, Barrow, Archer, and others participated. On the question being taken, the amendment was lost. On motion ot Mr. Buchan vn. an amend ment was adopted to the effect that the banks shall forfeit their charters when they shall refuse to redeem their notes in specie, and making pro vision for liquidation—yeas 35, and Mr. More head only in the negative. The bill was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading. Messrs. Al len and Bentos giving notice that thep should object, under the rule, to its being read the third | time. — ■ -- — At the election held last week in South Caroli na for Representatives to the next Congress, John Campbell was re-elected without opposition, Robert Barnwell Rhett was rc-elected, by a considerable majority over Mr. Trotti, (also now* a member, whom the late new apportionment had thrown into the same di-trict with Mr. Rhett.) Alabama.—The legislature of this State ad journed on the 15th ultimo. No relief or stay law of any kind received the sanction of the Le gislature. The law" which was passed for the di vision of the State into Congressional districts was based exclusively upon the white population. The Great Western has been out sixteen days, and may be expected to-morrow or next day.— Taking the Southern route, and touching at Ma deira, prolongs the p i»sage three or four days. Settlement of Florida—The Jacksonville Tropical Plant of the 22d ultimo cautions emi ; grants against settling on the southern and east ern peninsula of Florida until they are fully assured that the land which they intend to occupy is not covered by some Spanish grant or other claim as it will prevent much future difficulty. Commldore Porter.—It was stated, a few days since, that this gentleman was in bad health, but a letter in the Phil. Chronicle from H. F Porter, Esq. states it to be erroneous; and adds, “By advices received by his family, as late as the 10th of December, the Commodore was in his usual health. He had an attack of fever and ague, of which he was relieved* and is riding out as usual. This information you may rely up on as correct, as it comes immediately from his family.” Repudiation" in" Florida.—The Legislative Council of Florida has decided by a Urge majori ty tha t the Territory is not bound to pay the bonds issued under the authority of a previous Legisla ture. The doctrine of repudiation is recognised in its broadest sense, and another instance of vo luntary self-abasement is offered for the considt ration of the civilized world. Sir Charles Bagot.—The latest crates repre- j sent him as being decidedly convalescent. Still Another Slide.—We learn that another j land slide occurred at Troy, on Thursday eve a- ' ing, a short distance south of the two previous j ones. The amount of earth which fell was about ! half as large as the first slide. Ttftre was no injury done to persons or property. Yankee Enterprise.—The steamer Bangor, Captain Dunn, which left Boston last August for { Constantinople, was, by the last accounts, at ! Trebizonde, in the Black sea, at which place she j arrived from Constantinople, with 700 passen gers ! She was to return to Constantinople with the same number. SUPREME COURT OF THE U. STATES.

Mr. Chief Justice Taney de livered the opinion of this Court, reversing the rh-cree of the said Circuit Court in this cause, ! with cos’s, and remanding the same to the said j Court with uirtettons to dismUs the bill of com plainant. Death from the Bite of a Dog.—A boy [ named George Zacchary, whilst playing with his companions in Pitt street, near Caroline, a j few weeks since, was bitten in the leg by a dog i owned bv a colored man in the neighborhood.— The wound continued to fester and grow worse until Sundav bed, when the unfortunate little suf- j ferer died from its etfccts. The same dog is said to have bitten others very severely. It would be j well to put the animal where it could bite no j more.— Bill. Pub'iul.

Yesterday, in the Senate, the bill to extend the Charters of the Banks in the District of Columbia until 1854, was read a third time and passed. ___1» VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE. The Small Note Bill.—The “great Democ racy” yesterday refused to call upon the banks, in the only practicable mode, to give some relief to the people. By a vote of 59 to 57, they rejec ted Mr. Toler’s proposition for an issue of small i notes, redeemable only where issued. ; we suppose, must betaken as indicating | fi.xed determination of this party to do nothin? to mitigate the sufferings of the people._Rich. Whig. I-u!r' Randolph yesterday called up his batch of subiertsa‘o,racin'?' we helicve> six—relating to suojecis cn ‘oration and setting apart a certain &c. He desired, heLg t ' ^? a^lnSl''5 f u'ia> of the day for to-day and malic thcm l,he or,dor until they were disposed of. 1 succeeding day, Mr. Crutchfield objected to this out of order; the House could not have mS?e4Vlcr one bill under consideration at a time, and he *su£ j gested that Mr. Randolph had better move to take ' up one only. This Mr. R. assented to, and indi eating the bill imposing taxes on Merchant's li censes, the bill was accordingly made the order for to-day. Mr. ~Gallaher~intimated that he had an a mendment to offer to it. This, we learn, proposes to tax merchants for their license in proportion to the rents they pay. Mr. Randolph submitted, Saturday, a sup. plemental financial repo*;4 'v'*^h estimates the J increased revenue on ^ license at *>20 -1 : 000, in Rict'cnnpi/a.
