On motion of Mr Bel!, the Senate—by a vo e

Benton commenced some remarks in opposition
to the hill in detail, but yielded the floor to Mr.!
Pearce on whose motion the bill was postponed
till December next.

Pacific Steamers.
The splendid fleet of steamers in the Pacific
is soon to have numerous access'ons to its
number. The Pacific was launched at New
York on Tuesday, and will be fitted out and
dispatched as soon as practicable Several
other steamers lutended tor the same service
are getting ready for sea at that port. At i hil
adeltdiiu the steamers / a ion and ( ornmotlore
Stockton have been completed, and will sa i in a
few days — both aie represented as line vessels,
capable ot accommodating two hundred passen
gers each. The steamer Pampero, recent!\
launched at Baltimore, is now receiving hei
machinery at Philadelphia, and when complet
ed will be di>i atehed to the Pacific under com
mand of Capt. Hi m kat, of the Tinted States
Navy. The tine steamer Monumental City.
launched a few weekss-nce m tin- city, is now
receiving tier machinery at the iron woiks ot
Messrs. Murray Hazlelmr-t. and will depart
from Baltimore direct tor tire Pacific as so.m ns
finished, which, it is thought, will be in about
two months. W lieu all the steamers now on
their way to the Pacific and those fitting out tor
those distant waters reach their destination,
there will be on th** waves ol that ocean, sail
ing under the stars and stripes ot the l nPed
Slate.-, one of the tiue-t stea.n navies in the
world. Who would now pretend to predict how
long it will be hetoie some of them will he tun
ning as **iegular packets between our posses
sions on the Pacdic and those ol his Celestial
Majesty the Kmperor of China.—Baltimore

WtenJay afternoon long before the hour
(5 o'clock) amved for M ile Jenny Lind to
take her departue in the steamei Kmpire State.
t<u Boston, several thousand people assembled
on the wharves and shipping in the vicinity of
pier No. 4, all anxiously awaiting her arrival
at the boat. About 1 o'clock, a coach attached
to the New York Hotel made its appearance
with M il Jenny and her suite, and before the
driver could gain the gangway of the Km
pire State his vehicle was surrounded by the!
multitude who sertned determined to get aj
glimpse of the lady, which many of them |
accomplished. Mi>s Jenny finally got on
board and was conducted to tier state-room
where she lemaine ! until the vessel started.—
At precise I v 5 o'clock the steamer moved out |
of the slip and the songstress was cheered
several times by the crowd. As the Kmpire
State passed the bows of the steamship Cres
cent Ci r\ he r ill'' mg us tied passenger was hon
ored In the tiring of cannon from the latter ves
sel. to which she re-ponded by waving her I
handkerchief. The crowd and rush were so
gieat before the boat started that several per
sons weie shoved overboard, hut soon rescued
again; some wem slightly injured and several

Great llail Storm in Maryland.
Glymunt Charles Ct'y., Mil.. Sept.
We were visited yesterday afternoon. about
f» o'clock, by one of the most teirific Hail
Stoi ms, accompanied with wind, beginning at
N. K. and changing N. to N. W. ol unusuui
violence, that perhaps ever happened. 1 he
hail was of the largest s:/.e ever seen in these
parts: it has done great injury to the tobacco
crops. 1 have heard of several planters, who
say that they do not intend to put a knife in
to it. but would pick up the leaves it there
should be any of sufficient size Sett to make j
it an object to do so: but upon evarnilla
tion do not find any piece m the tieid larger
than a man's band. Pigs were kiiied, and ,
: many bird>are found dead. Apples were near- ;
iy all beaten oil the trees, and glass windows 1
to the North exposure a”e all bioken. 1 he
thunder and lightning was dreadful. I have
heard that it extended as far as Port Tobacco,
with, if possible, still greater violence. The
storm of hail was followed by a deluge of rain,
which did great injury to the roads and ploughed
ground. It continued with unabated violence
about thirty minutes.
Another Tornado.
The Norfolk Argus learns from a citizen of j
Accomac. that another Whirlwind passed over
the Eastern Shore on Thusduy nignt la*t, do
ing serums damage to the glowing crop. It was
attended with severe thunder, hail and rain.
Our informant represents that nearly the entire
crop of corn in the county ot Noithampton lum
been destroyed by storms during the present sea
son,and not more than thethird ol a crop will he
raised in that section of country.
