Among the speeches delivered in the House of Representatives, on the announcement of the death of David C. Broderick, those of Haskin, Hickman, Burlingame, and Morris of Illinois, are models of style, and show a just appreciation of the character of the late Sevator. We copy the remarks of Haskin and Hickman : Mr. Haskin, of New York, said : Mr. Speaker, in rising to second the resoletions just effered, I feel somewhat diffident, lest I should not be able to do the character of the distinguished Senator, ia honor of whose memory they have been proposed, that justice which its simplicity, its purity, ite integrity, and its greatness, demand. Asitis the duty of eulogy not to indulge in extended panegyric, I will, in the few remarks which I shall make on this occasioa, confine myself to the prominent facts and cireumstances connected with the eventful and remantic history of my deceased friend. I will not make a funeral pagaent of my grief, but will give a simple narrative of bis career, believing it te be a glorious precedent for the honorable imitation of the poor and the humble, who bave energy and wealth of intellect to eommand. No gentieman upon this floor, or in . the other chamber, knew the deceased Senator . better or more intimately than myself. We} . were sebool-boys together, grew up to man-. hood, and entered the gate aud pathway of life . In early youth, we both attended one of those great “people’s colleger’’ of the North—a free school—for about a year it of the counsels of a in agony at his loss. He sleeps though tears are of no further use when once calls us to the exereize of on prapon od brewed we are lamenting the we nD, orw he wae distinguished, serve the memory of his life, which we believe Mr. Speak love, and whose memory we cherish, is merely corporeal, With a ead epirit, and with grief upon my aud respect to the memory of my deceased fornia. Mr. Hickman said: “Mr. Speaker— “The question of his death is enrolled in the Capitol,’’ And I speak the truth in eulogy. I could not do otherwise without wrooging the character of the illustrious dead, who was a bondman to the truth. Born of the humbie, David C, Broderick died a peer of the proudest and the best. His commanding life challenged respect, and its surrender sauctified it. Dead—he still lives und will live. Absent from those who knew him best, and valued bim most, he will continue to be present with them, In every conflict for principle—in every struggle for the discharge of patriotic duty, he will whisper to the doubting, and hold up the right arm of the resolute, “In stilly thought, and in wildering fight, A cloud by day, a pillar’d flame by night, He'll point us onward—onward to the gual, Leading on legions with his vast control, Implanting truth, the idol of his soul.” Since we last met here, yonder Chamber of your Capitol has lost a sage’s intellest, a hero's heart, a devetee of country, David C. Broderick bas ceased to walk the earth, and sleeps his last sleep inthe Golden City of the West. Mighty States, -extendiog from the Pacific to the farthest Eust, were startled, aud almost parhe ever received, and it awakened within bim an appetite for useful knowledge, which he lost no opportunity afterward to gratify. Upon the . death of his widowed mother, whose sole sup. port he bad been for years, he left the trade he . had been following (that of a stone-cutter), which was undermining his constitution, and eommenced another branch of business, less la. borious avd more lucrative, by which be maintained bimeelf and a younger brother, who bad been left a charge upon him, Among his firet acts after this change, was the purchase of a library; and I well recollect that, in 1845~'46, when in the habit of visiting him, . frequently . found him engaged in study, perfecting bis . kvowledge of grammar, by writing ia full pars. ing lessous from the text books, I koew Mr. Broderick intimately at the time jhe wasamember of Heward Engine Co.

To the naked the t with diameter about be t4 forilh thas of ahs _ ; 8o that a tel w disc, With a power of thirty the most prominent belts and oval form are visible; a to make ent the fainter lines which girdle sphere requires a power of two or three hundred, besides a faverable atmosphere. In such a glass the planet presents a series of brownish gray streaks, reminding ove of stratus clouds which offen lie along the horizon in the morning andevening. Of these streaks, whose general direction is parallel to the planet’s equator, there are two more conspicuous than the rest, on either side ef the equator, being separated by a bright yellow zone, These principal belts are gga found to extend all around the globe, as they ecatinue visible daring the entire axial rotation, Toward the poles other parallel lines are visible, closer tegether, till they finally coalesce pear the north and . ; south pointa, These remarkable appearances are supposed to be the effect of prevailing wiuds, and an atmosphere so loaded with clouds as almost entirely to cover the face of the planet from our view. Their permanence of form, position and arrangement are very striking, indicating a climate in every zone of greatequability, Still changes are apparent, progressing slowly, completely altering the face of the planet in the course of a few months, The peculiar distribation of the belts is probably due to winds blow ing like our trades, constantly ina direction parallel to the equater, and having far greater steadiness and intensity than those which blow in the equatorial regions of the earth, from the fact that the diurnal motion is vastly more rapid. A subject fact of even greater interest to the astronomer than these remarkable bands is the system of four satellites which the teleeco discloses. They were ameng the pioneer disooveries of Galileo with the first telescope ever directed to the heavens. He at first took them for fixed stars, but he soon corrected his error by discovering that they revolved around the planet, in periods respectively of one and three fourths, three anda half, seven and sixteen days, This rapidity of revolution is very remarkable, and must present to the inhabitant of Jupiter, if such there be, a nocturnal scené of the greatest beauty and vivacity—one moon going through its round of phases in four Jovian days, a secondin eight and a balf,a third in seventeen, anda fourth in forty, In size, as they appear from the surface of the planet, the nearest will bave a disc not much different from that of our moon, and the others smaller, In consequenee of a remarkable law, accerding to which the three first satellites sustain to each other a well known physical relation, these can never all be absent fromthe firmament of the plaact at the same time. ner be in the same place. Thus the Jovials will often see one moon gleaming in the west just after the going down of the sun, a silver crescent; another just riven in the east, a full rounded dise; and a third ane an iutermediate position and phase—uniting to forma spectaele of the most engaging beauty, From the fact that the three first satellites lie nearly in the plane of the planet’s equator, and the fact that the planets orbit nearly conineides with the plane of the eliptic, a singular result ensues; the three are eclipsed to the inhabitant of Jupiter at every revolution, and eclipse the sun nearly as often, makiag many thouvand eclipsesin the Senator Davis.—The following sketch is from the Washington correspondent the New York Times ; A very different kind ofa man is General as polished as Fitch is coarse ; as brilliant as Fitch is blood-thirsty ; these words being of course, used in their political sense, Davis is a nervously built man, of middle hight, thin, quivering, full of exeitable emotions, with «forehead of immense capacity and breadth ; sparkling and very deep set gray eyes, one of which bas been almost entirely destroyed by the anguish of the doloreux; a hooked nose, slender, aod with nustrils almost transparent ; a mouth vigorously sinewed, thin lower face, betraying the pangs of physical ailment in every tracing ; eheeks hollow and wasted as if by dyspepsia ; and no resources visible to sustain the man at his present hight of labor and power, except the unconquerable spirit of rule, and ap intellect which shines outin pervading lustre through every lineament and gesture. A prematurely gray baired, prematurely wrinkled man—a chivalrous bigh uature, turned to bitternes# by agonies of the body and the disap. pointment of cherished hopes ; a eourteous, ealtivated gentleman, whose wit is a rapier, drawing blood wherever it touches, whore fancies are never asrich as when they place some more prosperous rival in @ ridioulous or bumiliating position. A soldier of undoubted gallantry,a scholar ef high attainments, always kind and frank to those beneath him—alwaye haughty and = mali¢ious to those who can_presume to be bis peers—no wonder that Jefferson Davis longs for disunion as the -~ means of in angers for, and which bis talents could then Destrvetive Fires.—Forty bouses were rea conflagration, at Eliza‘he fire was the work of an On the 14th of February, a fire at Mexigo, N.

The victim was a negro named Anderson, who hada wife, a faithless, ineonstant Ethiop, who bartered away her the fact of wedlock, to another lover, slicker, fatter, and blacker, perhaps, than her luckless This is enough to the patience of a philoso» pher, and of course r Anderson couldnt ‘the press.” So he hied away to oe aan: 5 belie that his sable rival meditated evil designs magistrate that it was proper to bind him to the peace, and so the matter stood until Wednesday, when a fight occurred between them, in Anderson was killed with a club—having his coma broke to pieces, The tor was arrest é aame day, Stiver Smeitrno.-The 8. F, Alta says: Messrs, Joseph Mosheimer & Co, are still engaged in ex» tracting silver from the ore at their chemical labora. tory, on Bryant street, near Third. The thirty tona from the Ophir claim, on the Comstock lead, have been anated--yidting. senate of three thousand dollars to the ton, or about $100,000. The firm received a little rising of per ton for extracting the silver. The large price charged was owing ta the fact that entirely new apparatus had to be cons structed for the work, and to the additional circumstance that the best furnaces that can be made will not stand the intense heat for more than two three weeks—when they have tbe term down reconstructed, In this way, several new seta have been made. Were this a lead ore, that is, contains ing 4 small proportion of lead with the silver, the workmen say they could smelt it easier and ata less expense. As it js, large additions of lead have to be made in the process, This ore costs about ten cents per pound to bring from Washoe. How to Test Strver Ore.—Pound a small piece of the rock which is supposed to contain the metal, as fine as possible; then place it on a shovel, or any thing handy, and hold jt over a slow fire, to burn away sulphur or arsenic, which are mixed with the ore or silver. Then take a cup or any glass or eaythern vessel, into which pour 9 small quantity of nitric acid, in which put a tens spoonful of the powdered ore, which boil in the acid for a minute or two. Then take some common salt dissolved in water, in another vessel; pour a quantity of the salt and water into the acid; if it turns white and looks milky, there is silver in the ore. The above is a cheap, convenient, and certain test for silver. ProvipEenTIAL Escarr—On Sunday morming the 11th inst., says the 8, F. Call, the steam et Martin Willis picked up two lads, drifting in a boat with broken oars. Unable to manage little craft, the boys had been adrift over twenty-four hours, They had started early on Saturday, for an excursion, but the bad weather which came on drove the boat in an opposite direction from their intended course, and their oars being insufficient, they were driven helpless all night, with a fair chance of isbing, by exposure if not from drowning, The boys are named Pennycook and Sprague, sons of respectable and well known citizens, Rich QuaRtTz IN MARIPO8A-—The quarts recently discovered near Hornitas, Mariposa — is paying richly.

Among the speeches delivered in the House of Representatives, on the announcement of the death of David C. Broderick, those of Haskin, Hickman, Burlingame, and Morris of Illinois, are models of style, and show a just appreciation of the character of the late Sevator. We copy the remarks of Haskin and Hickman : Mr. Haskin, of New York, said : Mr. Speaker, in rising to second the resoletions just effered, I feel somewhat diffident, lest I should not be able to do the character of the distinguished Senator, ia honor of whose memory they have been proposed, that justice which its simplicity, its purity, ite integrity, and its greatness, demand. Asitis the duty of eulogy not to indulge in extended panegyric, I will, in the few remarks which I shall make on this occasioa, confine myself to the prominent facts and cireumstances connected with the eventful and remantic history of my deceased friend. I will not make a funeral pagaent of my grief, but will give a simple narrative of bis career, believing it te be a glorious precedent for the honorable imitation of the poor and the humble, who bave energy and wealth of intellect to eommand. No gentieman upon this floor, or in . the other chamber, knew the deceased Senator . better or more intimately than myself. We} . were sebool-boys together, grew up to man-. hood, and entered the gate aud pathway of life . In early youth, we both attended one of those great “people’s colleger’’ of the North—a free school—for about a year it of the counsels of a in agony at his loss. He sleeps though tears are of no further use when once calls us to the exereize of on prapon od brewed we are lamenting the we nD, orw he wae distinguished, serve the memory of his life, which we believe Mr. Speak love, and whose memory we cherish, is merely corporeal, With a ead epirit, and with grief upon my aud respect to the memory of my deceased fornia. Mr. Hickman said: “Mr. Speaker— “The question of his death is enrolled in the Capitol,’’ And I speak the truth in eulogy. I could not do otherwise without wrooging the character of the illustrious dead, who was a bondman to the truth. Born of the humbie, David C, Broderick died a peer of the proudest and the best. His commanding life challenged respect, and its surrender sauctified it. Dead—he still lives und will live. Absent from those who knew him best, and valued bim most, he will continue to be present with them, In every conflict for principle—in every struggle for the discharge of patriotic duty, he will whisper to the doubting, and hold up the right arm of the resolute, “In stilly thought, and in wildering fight, A cloud by day, a pillar’d flame by night, He'll point us onward—onward to the gual, Leading on legions with his vast control, Implanting truth, the idol of his soul.” Since we last met here, yonder Chamber of your Capitol has lost a sage’s intellest, a hero's heart, a devetee of country, David C. Broderick bas ceased to walk the earth, and sleeps his last sleep inthe Golden City of the West. Mighty States, -extendiog from the Pacific to the farthest Eust, were startled, aud almost parhe ever received, and it awakened within bim an appetite for useful knowledge, which he lost no opportunity afterward to gratify. Upon the . death of his widowed mother, whose sole sup. port he bad been for years, he left the trade he . had been following (that of a stone-cutter), which was undermining his constitution, and eommenced another branch of business, less la. borious avd more lucrative, by which be maintained bimeelf and a younger brother, who bad been left a charge upon him, Among his firet acts after this change, was the purchase of a library; and I well recollect that, in 1845~'46, when in the habit of visiting him, . frequently . found him engaged in study, perfecting bis . kvowledge of grammar, by writing ia full pars. ing lessous from the text books, I koew Mr. Broderick intimately at the time jhe wasamember of Heward Engine Co.

Of these streaks, whose general direction is parallel to the planet’s equator, there are two more conspicuous than the rest, on either side ef the equator, being separated by a bright yellow zone, These principal belts are gga found to extend all around the globe, as they ecatinue visible daring the entire axial rotation, Toward the poles other parallel lines are visible, closer tegether, till they finally coalesce pear the north and . ; south pointa, These remarkable appearances are supposed to be the effect of prevailing wiuds, and an atmosphere so loaded with clouds as almost entirely to cover the face of the planet from our view. Their permanence of form, position and arrangement are very striking, indicating a climate in every zone of greatequability, Still changes are apparent, progressing slowly, completely altering the face of the planet in the course of a few months, The peculiar distribation of the belts is probably due to winds blow ing like our trades, constantly ina direction parallel to the equater, and having far greater steadiness and intensity than those which blow in the equatorial regions of the earth, from the fact that the diurnal motion is vastly more rapid. A subject fact of even greater interest to the astronomer than these remarkable bands is the system of four satellites which the teleeco discloses. They were ameng the pioneer disooveries of Galileo with the first telescope ever directed to the heavens. He at first took them for fixed stars, but he soon corrected his error by discovering that they revolved around the planet, in periods respectively of one and three fourths, three anda half, seven and sixteen days, This rapidity of revolution is very remarkable, and must present to the inhabitant of Jupiter, if such there be, a nocturnal scené of the greatest beauty and vivacity—one moon going through its round of phases in four Jovian days, a secondin eight and a balf,a third in seventeen, anda fourth in forty, In size, as they appear from the surface of the planet, the nearest will bave a disc not much different from that of our moon, and the others smaller, In consequenee of a remarkable law, accerding to which the three first satellites sustain to each other a well known physical relation, these can never all be absent fromthe firmament of the plaact at the same time. ner be in the same place. Thus the Jovials will often see one moon gleaming in the west just after the going down of the sun, a silver crescent; another just riven in the east, a full rounded dise; and a third ane an iutermediate position and phase—uniting to forma spectaele of the most engaging beauty, From the fact that the three first satellites lie nearly in the plane of the planet’s equator, and the fact that the planets orbit nearly conineides with the plane of the eliptic, a singular result ensues; the three are eclipsed to the inhabitant of Jupiter at every revolution, and eclipse the sun nearly as often, makiag many thouvand eclipsesin the Senator Davis.—The following sketch is from the Washington correspondent the New York Times ; A very different kind ofa man is General as polished as Fitch is coarse ; as brilliant as Fitch is blood-thirsty ; these words being of course, used in their political sense, Davis is a nervously built man, of middle hight, thin, quivering, full of exeitable emotions, with «forehead of immense capacity and breadth ; sparkling and very deep set gray eyes, one of which bas been almost entirely destroyed by the anguish of the doloreux; a hooked nose, slender, aod with nustrils almost transparent ; a mouth vigorously sinewed, thin lower face, betraying the pangs of physical ailment in every tracing ; eheeks hollow and wasted as if by dyspepsia ; and no resources visible to sustain the man at his present hight of labor and power, except the unconquerable spirit of rule, and ap intellect which shines outin pervading lustre through every lineament and gesture.

F, Alta says: Messrs, Joseph Mosheimer & Co, are still engaged in ex» tracting silver from the ore at their chemical labora. tory, on Bryant street, near Third. The thirty tona from the Ophir claim, on the Comstock lead, have been anated--yidting. senate of three thousand dollars to the ton, or about $100,000. The firm received a little rising of per ton for extracting the silver. The large price charged was owing ta the fact that entirely new apparatus had to be cons structed for the work, and to the additional circumstance that the best furnaces that can be made will not stand the intense heat for more than two three weeks—when they have tbe term down reconstructed, In this way, several new seta have been made. Were this a lead ore, that is, contains ing 4 small proportion of lead with the silver, the workmen say they could smelt it easier and ata less expense. As it js, large additions of lead have to be made in the process, This ore costs about ten cents per pound to bring from Washoe. How to Test Strver Ore.—Pound a small piece of the rock which is supposed to contain the metal, as fine as possible; then place it on a shovel, or any thing handy, and hold jt over a slow fire, to burn away sulphur or arsenic, which are mixed with the ore or silver. Then take a cup or any glass or eaythern vessel, into which pour 9 small quantity of nitric acid, in which put a tens spoonful of the powdered ore, which boil in the acid for a minute or two. Then take some common salt dissolved in water, in another vessel; pour a quantity of the salt and water into the acid; if it turns white and looks milky, there is silver in the ore. The above is a cheap, convenient, and certain test for silver. ProvipEenTIAL Escarr—On Sunday morming the 11th inst., says the 8, F.
