Second Session of the Seventeenth Congress. HOUSE OF !IEI'RI >EVTATJVE3. DECEMBER 4. , On motion of Mr. Moore, -of Alab. , it was Resolved , That the Judiciary Coni- j mittce be instructed to inquire into the expediency of allowing the State of Alabama three Representatives, in i cunfoi mity with the 2d section of the | Act for the appointment of Repre sentatives among the several States, ( according to the fourth Census. j Mr. Whipple, of N. H. offered for ' consideration the following resolu tion : Resolved, That the Committee on Military Affairs be instructed to in- t quire into the expediency of a- t mending the act making provis- tl ion for arming and equipping the v whole holy of (he militia of the n United S ates, passed April 23d, a 180 S, so that the arms, provided in q virtue of said act, and transmitted to h I J* he several Skates composing this Union,-and the Territories thereof, < shall, by each State and Territory, be deposited and kept in proper erse aals, to be provided by such Stale or Territory, to be delivered to the mili tia thereof only when they may be called into actual service. Mr. Taylor considered the resolu tion as coining correctly under the notice of the committee on the state of the Union, to which the message of the President, which touched up on this subject had been referred. After some remarks on the course. pursued last session, of dividing the | militia fi o:ii the military affairs, he 1 concluded with moving that the reso- i lution be laid on the table, with a > view to its being submitted to the | committee of the whole House on the state of the Union. —Agreed. The House then resolved itself, on motion of Mr. Taylor, into a commit-1 tee on the Union—Mr. Condict ofi N. J. in the chair. Mr. Taylor, after a few remarks, | moved a resolution, that so much of i the i resident's message as relates to Jlsvigntinn nnrl rnmniorn* ll’itll fit!*; 1 ’nited States, be referred to the com mittee on Foreign Affairs. That part relating to the Cumberland road, to a select committee, i That part which referred to the 9th article oftthe Treaty with Spain, was referred to the committee on the Judiciary. That which relates to the abolition I ol Indian Trading-houses, to the com | mittee on Indian affairs. That which relates to the military i establishment at West Point, fortifi cations, &c. to the committee on Mili tary Affairs. ! The other points of the message were referred to the several commit-' ■ tees appointed on those subjects. The resolutions were put,seriatim, and adopted without a division ; and j the committee were instructed to re port by bill, or otherwise. It was then moved and carried that the com mittee do not rise; the report of the committee was then received, and read, and a resolution that the re port he referred to the separate com mittees, was put. On the motion for referring the Slave Trade, Mr. Wright, in an ener getic speech, said (he character of the country could only be saved by pur suing the abolition of this trade with greater energy.

Selections from English Papers. • . (Private Correspondence.) Cohirntz , Sept. 18.—You cannot imagine (lie outcry that is raised against England by the manufactur ers of the Continent. Those of Ger many, in particular, are loud in their complaints. They charge us with inundating every foreign market with articles of the very worst description, regardless how we accumulate wealth at the expense of our national char acter. At the same time, they assert that they themselves are infinitely | more solicitous about the quality than | the quantity of the goods they manu i facture, and are therefore entitled to a of custom all over the ; world. It is certain that they are making great efforts to rival us in | dvery article, and in some they have j succeeded beyond their most sanguine | expectation. Prussia takes the lead 'j in this competition with England, and the inhabitants of Berlin already pride ; themselves on* believing that their ■ cotton and woollen manufactures are far superior to any thing ot the kind | flint n’l* cun product*! It was HoldtCF than last night that I witnessed a ludicrous instance of this self-com placency, which called forth a burst of indignant feeling from an irritable Londoner, whose dialect bespoke him entitled to all the immunities of a man born within the sound of Bow bell, while his squat, square figure, snub, nose, and small grey eyes deeply sunk in the socket, harmonized in perfect character with the mass of ■ swelling pimples which either nature or art had caused to bloom upon his face in rubicond luxuriance. Snell was the gentleman whom I hist night happened to light upon at a small inn on the banks of the Rhine, where I stopped to take refreshment. I found , him in violent altercation wi.h a na : tive of Prussia Prop t, whose jargon • j of Gerntan, French, and broken Eng i i lish, was as unintelligible to (he Cockney, as the lingo of the latter 'j was to the Brandenburg d spntant. — j However, go Englidmi m could beat a loss to discover tlie subject matter of debate, for the cockney talked loudly' of the manufactures of this country, and insisted that they were not to be equalled in any part of the universe. The Prussian, on the o tlier hand, was no less obstreperous in maintaining that the fhbnques of Berlin were decidedly pre-eminent, and to bring the matter to a practi cal test, he grasped the skirt of his coat, and grinning ferociously at the man of Cheapside,cried out," Dere, viola dat drnp ; can sie male so goot fabrique as dat in de stadl von Leends , muneer Englander ■ “ What does he say now ?” said the Londoner to a tall thin countryman of his, who appeared to act as a sort , of interpreter to him, and who was • as taturn and reserved as his friend was loquacious and obtrusive. u lie merely desires to know,” replied the third party, “ whether they manu facture such good cloth in the town of Leeds as that he wears.” “Leeds!” exclaimed the Cockney with a con tortion of visage which/i shall not at , tempt to describe, “ Vy, that there ■ is no more to be compared to Leeds’ cloth than this Vitney , as I brought vitk me just for the sake of keeping ,me varm ,” laying his hand at the , same time on one of those rough , woolly coats, such as London coach ■ men are wont to wrap themselves in against the weather. This satirical comment was lost on the Prussian, , who did not take the trouble to in , quire into iis import; and his adver sary, finding lie had silenced him. , chuckled at his triumph, and sat ■ down to supper, d g the country , for not supplying him with better fare than sausages and sour krout.

It is add- J ed, that this proposal is accepted less 1 1 through want of the above articles, , than in-order to try the good faith of 1 i the French Ministry, and, above all, J their impartiality with respect to the J Army of the i aith. It is said that J the Ministry have taken into consi , i deration oilier proposals of the same 5 nature, made by Englishmen, in con cert with Spanish merchants estab lished in London.

Nothing was doing in | Cadiz,,and the people almost in a ; sttae of starvation. Assassinations, \ robberies and murders were matters i of every day's report.

A quorum of both houses of Congress met at Washington the 2d inst. and on the 3d the Vicc-I’resident of the United States attended and look the Chair as President of the Senate. In the House of Representatives several ineffectual ef forts wer ■ made to choose a Clerk, but at the eleventh ballot on the 3d inst. Mr. Mathew St. Clark, of Pennsylvania, was pronounced by the Sneaker duly elected. Our readers will not expect much inter esting mutter from Congress at this early period of the session; it will be seen by the paragraph from the National Intelli gencer, that little more than receiving ths President’s Message, appointing the committees, and organizing the houses, had been done at the date of that papi r. In the Charleston Courier it is men tioned, ou the authority of a private let ter from Columbia, of the 7th inst. that « resolution was offered to the following effect-—“ that an enquiry be made into the manner in which the affairs of the Bank of the Stale have been transacted > what amount of specie has been sold, and for wha' premium, and what has become of that premium ?

CHBONICI.E L AUVF.UTISKU. Mr, Editor — I hope my present adventure iuto the field of discussion will not be i tewed as personally hostile to any writer that has heretofore appeared Should, however, any collision of sentiment or discordancy of opinion arise repugnant to any who have preceded me, it will be regarded rather as an honest and conscientious dif ference o( opinion, than a mere wish to enter the list of controversialists. Great labour has been bestowed, and much ingenuity displayed, in order to shew (lie possibility and demonstrate the pfacticability of cstuhliMiwg a Medical Cell, ge in this .Stale. Ihe absolute ne cessity and importance ofan efficient and well organi/,c»l Institution in promoting liiv interest- ol science and advancing the republic of iiiedi inc, is obvious to the oust common observer. It is to those Institutions that alieady exist, we are to ascribe the rapid strides which the science has made in the last twenty years throughout the United States. It is from su h Institutions we trace its powerful progress from an humble and servile art to its present proud station of science and philosophy. And it is lastly, to such in stitutions we must look for its final dis memberment from superstition and er ror, and assume a stand of perfection commensurate with that of its kindred sciences. If (base suggestions are not too sanguine to be realized ; if they be regarded not as fancy’s delusive dream, it woul.l seem the greatest of all human achievements are expected to accrue from -ue)t institutions. If such be thcii overwhelming influence they cannot be 100 zealously encouraged, or 100 lously promotedin ourcohntry wheresuch a dearth of medical intelligence is obser ved. Our predecessors, early convinced of tiie advantages of an institution of this kind, not only in imparting iutormatio ), but .n extending the empire of Medicine, with much difficu’ly succeeded iu estab lishing as many as it was thought the population of the country authorized, or the interests of Medicine imperatively demanded. But already nave we sectv that their benificent and praise-worthy exertions wer-almost totally annihilated by au overweening desire to multiply them to an idle and almost indefinite number. An institution to important to its votaries and so beneficial to mankind, is a desideratum of the greatest magni tude, nor can it he obtained by a single To he eminently ueful.it must present to its followers a prospect of re ward equivalent to that held out by any institution of our country, or fail to meet that encouragement which would insure the re-pect of a permanent and lasting repository of learning. Whether then, could au institution in this Slate present those extensive advan tages enjoyed by institutions of her lister States? And whethe* is there any sin gular advantage arising to the student from a poursc of instruction in our own State, that could not elsewhere be ob tained? These seem to be the more prouiiue.it questions presented hr con i sideration, iu determining on the rxpe dioncy of a Medical College in this Stale. Medical schools, (or obvious reasons, can only exist in large and extensive cities, where the population is sufficiently nu merous to render the prosecution of.iii atomy and Surgery practicable and easy. Vo possible provision can be made for that invaluable charity and excellent practical school of Medicine, (an exten sive and well endowed hospital,) in any but a populous city. Nor is it possible, iu our temperate climate, to prosecute extensively, some of the iudispeiisible branches of a M rdical education, admit ting other objections were obviated. In none but au extensive city, could the student of surgery meet with the nu merous class of affections belonging to that department. And it is manifest that a practical acquaintance with another important branch of medicine in any town in this State, would he impossible from its limited access to both student and practitioner. These objections alone, would seem to present an insuperable barrier to the prosperity of such an in stitution in this State. But there an other and no less cogent reasons. From whence are students to be ..i-..!l defray the unavoidable exi) ( . ntc an institution ? The average- ,. U H students, visiting a Medicaf , C; | L H this State, has not annually ,SS twelve for the last ten years' be expected it would be patruiiH any) by more than half frojn - u ‘ i nlma, which number would be Hj 1 adequate lo the support of-.,,Mi tution. As it respects the second 5 posed, it would seem to require . cuusideralion. It dors not .... t•* an y solitary advantage :.c,: Mi student—ou the contrary, ;> i; u,*! • lions advanced against the I'ractiH s of its establishment, will operate . doubled torce lo retard the proH _ the student. % cannot bo suLMj the ground of economy, as i* : ' the expenditure necessary to I r B| ■ would greatly exceed that of . institution.
