Mr. Hutchins’ resolution censuring Mr. Vallandigham for alleged violation of the rules and decorum of the House, by making use of denunciatory language against Senator Wade, after quoting from the latter’s recent speech in the Senate, will com up to-morrow for final action.
The participants in the colloquy, Messrs. Vallandigham and Blake, exhibited intense earnestness. The scene for a while was exceedingly spirited, but abruptly terminated by adjournment.
The ratifications of the Seward-Lyons treaty for suppression of the African salve trade, will soon be exchanged. The main points are, mutual right of search without regard to the number of vessels to be emptied, and the summary trial and punishment of those engaged in illegal traffic.
The Yankee has arrived from the neighborhood of Fredericksburg, and reports that one day this week the [Anacostia] while passing Lowry’s point, on the Rappahannock, was fired into by a small body of rebel infantry. She threw a few shells at them which caused them to rapidly disperse. The flotilla is still actively engaged in seizing rebel crafts. It has captured 16 schooners.
