The inciiicn s in scriptural, liisiorv, which has furnished the theme for so much poetry, is very' b aaiifully set forth in the following article: ‘The only son ofhis mother,and she v\«s a widow.* Forth from the gates of Nam a funeral train in mournful silence came. The sunset flush was lingering still upon the hills around, the last departing rnv of day yet stayed, tinged the floating clouds above with hues of crimson and of burnished gold, while heaven’s azure seemed more soft and sweet amid those gorgeous tint*; for naught within the wide world’s bounds could more entrance the soul than that sweet sunset scene among Judea’s lulls and plains. Yet death was there, and even now off swept Ids silent train. And he who lay the stricken victim there, had tiled a'l glorious in his manly pride;—the noble form, but half Concealed beneath the sable robe which wrapped it round, was cold and motionless, yet lo? hou* beautiful in death! The pale and ashy lips on which the parting word seemed to tremble low, were chiseled like Apollo’s—proud, soft—and wore the stamp of eaergy and strenghl;— the radiant eyes were glazed in death, in which once shone ambition’s fires and gleamed youth’s bright and joyous hopes in days agnne, and yet they seemed as if closed in gentle sleep; and ’mid his rich and clustering hair w hich lay, as if in life’s warm glow, upon the pall, so soft and fair it was, the low wind moved, stir ring the curls and wildly flowing locks, as when in health it had been freely flung to woo its balmy breath. A thing of light, too beautiful he seemed to die, yet was ho passing to his last long home, so young and fair—his widowed mother’s only stay —and she now left alone to meet the world’s cold frowns and cheerless live. Behind the hicr, with form bowed down and bleeding heart, she came, and, as she gazed upon her noble boy, struck down amid the flush of youth’s bright dreams —and saw the arm on which it was her wont to lean, all stitTand palsied now in death—and looked in vain into those dull, glazed orbs, for the fund glance which there was used to beam—her bursting heart gave way; she bowed her head the silent corse, and wildly wept in speechless agony and woe. But,lo! as onward swept the mournful train, a hand of humble, pilgrims met the weeping throng; and one among them came and touched the bier. *Twas he, the lowly outcast Nazarene. His mild blue eyes looked sadly on the group, and gushed from out his heart, all that pure love he brought from heaven, towards her whose hope was gone—was buried ’neath t e silent pall. The sad procession stop, ped, and they that bore the corse stood still. Jesus a moment gazed upon the noble form as in her wo the frantic mother bad thrown back the pall from off her stricken boy—a moment lookod upon her, who weeping, hung upon the bier, then touched the stiffened hand, and calmly said, 11 Arise.’* At that life giving word, the line of health began to steal upon the dead; and, like the first faint flash of dawn, the warm blood mantled to the cheek and brow, and light began to beam from out the eyes; the lips just parted, caught a sunny smile; and like the leaping wave, his bosom heaved he neath the dark habiliments of death, which lay upon his quickened form. Tho piercing cry. “Ho lives—he lives!” burst from the mourner's lips, and on the Saviour’s breast she fell and wept. A Story with it Jloral. Once on a time lived a powerful king, who reigned over a large and fertile coun try. He had crowns of gold and pearls, and saeptres of ivorv and precious stones. His treasury was full of the costly things oftbe earth; tons of thousands of armed men were ready to obey his bidding, and his dominion extended from sea to sea. But without God’s blessing, worldly pos sessions -are but an increase of care, and as this mighty monarch feared not God he was dissatisfied and unhappy. In the dominion of the king lived a certain dervise, amed for abstinence, sanctity, wisdom, and piety; and the king, willing to profit by the instructions of the fioly man, paid him a visit. He found him clothed in sackcloth, living in a cave surrounded with high rocks, on the bor ders of a w ilderness. “Holy man,” said the king, “I come to learn how I may be ,appy. “With out giving any reply urn dervise led the king through the rugged path-ways of the place until he brought him in front of a high rock, near the top of which an eagle had built her eyrie. “Why has the eagle builded her yonder?” said the der vise. “Doubtless,” replied the king, “that it may he out of the wav of dan ger.” “Then imitate the bird,” said the dervise; “build thy throne in heaven, and thou shall reign there unmolested and in peace.” Now the king would have willingly given the dervise a hundred pieces of gold, if he would have accepted it, for this precious piece of advice; and here am I giving it to you for nothing. Tt may be as useful to you all as it was to the king, for you are all as much inter ••led in being happy as ho was. As the eagle built her nest on tho rugged rock, build vour hope on the “Rock of Ages.” As the dervise told the king to erect Ins j throne in heaven, so I tell you to “seek tl o<e things which are above, where t Christ sittetb on i he right hand of God,— Set your affection on things above, not on things on tire earth.” Do this, and you will be above the reach of danger for time and eternity.

' [Reported for the Baltimore San.] TWENTY-NINTH CONGRESS, I {SECOND SESSION. Washington, Jan. 19,1847. SENATE. Mr. Sevier, from the committee on foreign relations, reported a bill making further ap- j propriations, to bring the war with Mexico j lo a close. f This is the “two millions bill” of last ses- ' sion with the exception that the an >t is 1 I increased to three millions, and i! e Wdmot, proviso is left out. | ' Mr. Sevier gave notice that lie should call up .his bill at an early day. Several other reports were made from com- 1 miltees, of no public interest. A joint resolution was reported from the I committee on military affairs, for the pur- ‘ chase of ado tional lands for the use of the U. S. Armory at Harper’s Ferry. 3L Benton, from the committee on milita- ( rv affairs, reported back the ten regiment bill, with an amendment granting 160 acres of land to each non-commissioned officer and private who shall have served for twelve months in the war with IMexico, the patents for said land to be issued in the name of the soldier and to be inalienable. Mr. Berrien called the attention of the Senator from Missouri to the fact that the committee had neglected to obey that part of their instructions which required them to include the officers of volunteers in the amendment they had reported. He moved therefore, to add the words “officers of voiun- I teer corns” to the amendment. 31 r. Benton was not aware that the com mittee had been so instructed. They had not opened their instructions, for the subject had been so thoroughly discussed that they had the main subject upon their minds. He was opposed to the amendment, and it it. prevailed should move to include “officers of | the regular army.” Mr. Berrien * defended the claims of the volunteer officers, who left their homes and occupations lo fight the battles ol their coun try,over these officers of the regular army, who were but pursuing their vocation, al though upon a different field. Mr. Benton’supporled the claims of officers of the jegular army, as superior to those of the volunteers, on the ground of longer ser vice. A very long and animated debate ensued, 1 in which mime warmth was displayed by Mr. , Benton, after which a motion was made by | Mr. Benton to re-commit the bill with same j instructions, which was negatived unani- , mously. The question was taken upon the amend ment of .Mr. Berrien, and wa-deeded in the negative by the casting vote of the Vice Pre- . side nt. Mr Corwin then submitted an amendment, which, af'er further debate, was rejected. Several amendments were offered, none of which were agreed to, and the Senate ad- , journed. IIOCJSK OF REPRESENTATIVES. j Mr. C. J. Ingersoll aske*4 leave to make a i report from liie rommt'tee on foreign rela- supposed to be a bill appropriating three ! millions to enable Use Pre>ident to conclude i a treaty of peace with Mexico. Objection being made, the report was no* received. A resolution was adopted, to terminate the debate in committee at two o’clock, on the i bill to increase liie pay ot the non-commis sioned officers, musicians and privates of the army of the United Stales, and the militia and volunteers In the service of the same, and allowing them bounty land in certain eases, i The bill was then taken up in committee | of ihe whole, Mr. McClelland in the chair. The committee was addressed by Messrs Bell, of Kentucky, Starkweather and Boyd. The latter gentleman, at the conclusion of J his remarks, moved that the committee ri&e. The motion prevailed. .Mr. Boyd tiien moved that the committee of liie whole be discharged from the further consideration of the bill, and that it be refer- 1 red, with the several amendments proposed, ! to a select committee. The bill was accord ingly so referred. Communications were received from the I war department, with a statement required by law of certain expenditures during the year 1846. From the Adjutant General, in reply to the I resolution calling on the President for a state -1 ment of the number of volunteers mustered | into the service in Mexico, for three, six and j twelve months, number of officers, number ! who have died, resigned, or been discharged. . On motion of Mr. McCay, the House then j went into committee of the whole on the j I State of the Union. Mr. Cobb in the chair, I and took up the bill making appropriations I i for the current and contingent expenses of the Indian Department, and fur fulfilling treaty stipulations with the various Indian tribes, for the year ending 30th June, 1848. The bill (thirty-four printed large octavo j pages,) was read by the Clerk, occupying nearly an hour of the time of the House, and j before he had conduced, the committee rose and reported progress. A resolution was adopted, to terminate the debate on the bill in committee of the whole in five minutes after it shall be again taken up therein. Several unsuccessful attempts were then made to adjourn, and to go into committee of J the whole. A call of the House was ordered, and 124 members answered to their names. Call of names of ab entees dispensed with. Another motion to adjourn was lost, and on motion of Mr. Bredhead, the House went into j committee of ihe whole and took ur» the bill, i i Mr. Cobb in the chair. A motion was made j that the committee rise and report the bill to i the House, but no quorum voted. Tellers j were ordered, and the vote stood G 2 in the affirmative, 21 in the negative—no quorum. The committee then rose and reported pro gress, and the Ilouse adjourned. f From the Washington Union, Jai\. 20<] Congressional. In the Senate the consideration of the bill to raise an additional military force was re i sumed. The amendment reported by the | Committee on Military Affairs, granting j bounty lands to the volunteers, was amended • bv a modification of Mr. Corwin’s amend ; ment after a protracted debate, and adopted, i Various oilier amendments were proposed, I pending the discussion of which the Senate j adjourned. In the House,the Indian appropriation bill was passed. The committees were then I called on for reports. Then the naval ap , propriation bill was taken up, and some I progress made in the consideration of it in | Committee of the Whole. Tlic Tragedy liovrr. J The passion of love developed itself on the ; slage in various ways, and every different species of dramatic production has a pecu i liar kind of stage lover. The tragedy lover ; is addicted to the very inconvenient practice | of loving above his station, and fie is con- ! tinually going about asking the woods, the groves, the valleys and the lulls, why he was ‘lowly born,’ a question which the said woods, groves, valleys, and hills?, are not in the habit of answering. He usually rushes to the j wars, and comes home with a colonel’s com j mission; bragging that lie had crushed the j ' haughty Ottomite, rolled the audacious Li- : : beryan in the dust of his native desert. In 1 | consequence of his crushing and rolling he i | offers ids hand with confidence to the high ! born maid, who had previously spurned him | from her foot; and he generally chouses the I occasion of a banquet, given in honor of her | intended marriage to somebody else, as the i most fitting opportunity for popping theques i lion. Having succeeded in his suit, he fre quently sets out to crush some more Otto- | mites, or roll the audacious Libyan in some j | more dust, wdien he allows himself to be j i made very jealous by annoymous letters, and j he abruptly leaves the army to lead itself, in order that he may go and lax his wife for in- j fidelity. On arrrival chez lui, the tragedy | lover not unfrequently finds his wife engaged i in conversation with her own brother, who wont say he is her brother, but prefers fight- \ ing a duel with the tragedy lover; and the latter returns to his wife with a fatal wound, just in time to die in her anus, which sends her raving mad; while the brother, in a fit of remorse, commits suicide! The C'omrdy Lorcr. The comedy lover goes by the technical name of the ‘walking gentleman,’ a title pro bably derived from his having his hat in his hand, as if he would shortly have to walk off at the instigation of some unreasonable father or testy guardian. The comedy lover is very much addicted to duck dissatisfac tion, wearing white trowsers in all weathers, finding fault upon all occasions with the ob ject of his choice, without any reason for doing so. If the lady is in good spirits, the following is the sort of speech the comedy lover will address to her:—“Nay, Laura, 1 do not like this gaiety. The volatile head bespeaks the hollow heart; and if you would smile on me to-day, you might bestow your sunshine on another to-morrow. Believe me, Laura, that though we admire the gadfly for its wings, we shall never seek it for its so ■ i ■■■■fit. ■ ■■ —IUII ■■■■■■ r—m i ■i■■ I ciely: and though we may chase the butter fly tor its colors, we cherish the canary for its constancy. You weep, Laura—nay ido not mean to distress you, though I had rather | bring tears from your eyes, than allow levity i to dwell at your heart, for steadiness of char- ! acter is brighter than the most glittering gew-gaw. 1 will leave you now, Laura,and remember, that even though late should di- i vide us, you have no truer friend than Arthur .

The amount it in volves makes it highly interesting, aside from the singular and romantic circumstances in which it originated.

It is a fact more curious than creditable to our city perhaps, that the most elegant and 1 1 expensive turn out yesterday, was that of i j the notorious “Madame Rested,’“the harness ! alone having cost SI4OO. Madame is a very handsome woman of thirty-five. She lives in very splendid style, dresses showily, drives one of the most superb carriages in town, sports 1 ivories, and to be fashionable through out, is educating her only daughter, a sweet little girl of twelve or thirteen years, in a i French Convent. 'Tito first time I ever saw Madame was at a public ball at 'Tammany ! Hall, four years ago, and she struck me as being a very charming woman. She was originally a tailoress, in Chatham-street; she married a journeyman printer by the name Lehman. In her profession she is known as Madame Rested.

Later from the Army. The N. O. Jeffersonian of the 18th inst. says—The U. 8. steamer Eudora, form Bra zos 12th inst., arrived yesterday. The only items we get by her, are, that General Taylor was still on his march to Victoria, and that Gen. Bcott was expected soon to leave for Tampico or Victoria. There were some rumors that Gen. Quitman ex pected to be attacked by the Mexicans at Victoria. We have, however no belief in these reports. The steamer Giraffe, Capt. E dridge, for merly a towboat on the Mississippi, was lost in a heavy norther fifty miles east of the Rio Grande, on the 7th inst. The vessel is a to lal loss. Cpat. E drige and his son had ar rived at the Brazos, who reported the loss of the steamer and four persons. Capt. W il cox could not give their names. The brig Sampson went ashore and was lost on the 6 h instant, and schooners Come, Walters, and Daniel Hacen , wore totally lost. \V T e are indebted to Captain Wilcox for the above information, and a list of vessels at Brazos, inserted under the head of Marine Intelligence. Captain Wilcox also states that General Scott had sent an express to General Taylor j to meet him at either Tampico or Victoria, j and was waiting the reutrn of the express to j make his movement. i Mike Walsh, otiered a resolution in the ; New York Legislature, to refer to the‘‘Cmn mitlee on Grievances'' so much of Gov.

If this ; is the fact, there can be no serious advance I in Sterling bills for some time to come.” — [From the i\ r . O. Picayune. 17 Ih inst.] From Tampico. The brig Prairie, Capt, Clark, arrived yes terday from Tampico, having sailed thence on the sth inst., — two or throe days only later than our former advices. We received no letters or papers by this arrival, but from a letter received by a commercial house, to which we are deeply indebted, we learn a few items of interest. The most interesting news in the letter ; touches the election ot President and Vice j President of Mexico. The letter states that i Santa Anna was elected President by a vote , °f 11 to 9— the vote being, according to the j constitution of 1824, by States. This letter ; states that General Salas was elected Vice President instead of Gomez Farias, as our i accounts received byway of Anton Lizardo assured us. The writer of the Tampico let- I ter is an intelligent gentleman, and lias ac | ce-s to good Mexican sources of information. His accounts from the capitol may not have been so late as those received by the squad ron when the Mississippi lelt for Havana.— On the other hand, the election of Geo. Salaa would leave the Mexican Government just where it now is, as all iSanta Anna’s duties j as President devolve upon the Vice Presi dent while F former is at the head of au armv actually in the field. A condncla of specie was shortly expected i at Tampico from the interior. It was sup | posed to be monev on English account. Since Gen. Shields has been in command of Tampico he has divested the former municipal authorities of their control over the town, and vested their j nvers in commissioners, who are to look after (he safety of property, Sir. .Mr. P. 1», Tavlor, of New Orleans, has been appointed one of those commissioners. Gen. | Shields is sa d to have conciliated, to a great ! extent, the respect and esteem of all classes j at Tampico since assuming the command of i the city. Business I here is represented as very dull. The market was glutted with produce. To bncco was selling by the ba!e ot 100 lbs., as low as !§3 75. Other business was at a like low ebb, and merchants were building hopes of improvement upon Lite arrival of tiic con duct a. One vessel had arrived from New lork bearing one hundred troops.

W e j left the market at the close of last week in a com paratively quiet state, owing to the position which j holders had assumed ir; ’•elation to prices. On Sa | tuniay last purchaser vv . arly in attendance, and in consequence ofth ciivilj which prevailed, | factors maintained the ascendency, and at tho I close of business the sales rea. 1 near 2700 bales, j at the quotations given in ou. report of that morn ing. On Monday, one or two buyers, who were in | possession of later advices from the other side. re ceived via >avannah, to the effect that an advance of an a -I’d. had taken place in prices on the other side of the water, opened freely, and during lh« ; day the sales run up to 4500 hales, without any positive change in prices, although at times they : were rather more stringent than on the preceding day; on 'Tuesday, however, the accounts were i made public, when hold-rs immediately advanced , their pretensions, and during ttie day 3,3(4) hale* i were disposed of at an advance of }c. on funner prices; and on Wednesday near 3000 hales were . | f*o!d at similar prme9. Throughout Thursday a i report was in circulation that later European ac ; count* were in the city, said to have been received, ■ | through the same chant. 1, establishing even a ; greater improvement than that noticed above, upon , i the strength of which, factors again advanced ; their rates, and during the day some 30UO hales | changed hands at a further improvement of J- to f, j making the advance since the opening of the mar ket on Tuesday a a lc. per lb. The market opened yestercay with a fair inquiry, hut the h gh r.it-a j demanded for the article, compelled purchasers to. . j withdraw, after they had bought about 1000 hales. j Prices were very unsettled, but tlie following quo ’ Cations will approximate, as near possible, to the : actual position of the market at the close of busi ness :—Ordinary to good ordinary, 10 a 10J; mid dling to goo I middling, 10H a 10*-; middling fair, 101 104; fair and fully fair, II aI U; and choice, —. The aggregate transaationa since our last foot j up 17.200 hales, against the receipts in the same ! time 12.913 bales. The sales comprise 33 hales at : 9 1; 153 at 94; 185 at 9|; 900 at : KO3 at 94; 703 i at 9 15-1 fi; 1,511 at 10; 93 at lu !-!6; Ifil7atloi; ’ j 3336 at 1 OF; 12 at 10 5-16; 512 at loi; 13at 10 7-16; 2.996 at 104; 100 at 10 9-lfi; 044 at IDS; 1776 at 101: i 73 at 104, 1181 at 11; and 100 bales at. Hie. It ( will be seen, on reference to our tables,that there is an excess of near 12.000 bales, as compared with 1 the receipts of the previous year. S. Islands have been coming in more freely since the new year. ■ hut they are held at too high prices to admit of much being done in them. The sales, which have been to a very limited extent for the season, have been confined almost entirely to the commonqual ‘ ities ;—lnferior to clean common Santees, at 25 to 1 j 30c.; choice, 32 a 33c.; Maines, and middlingfin« . to fine Sea Islands. 33 a 38c. A few lots of finer , descriptions have also been sold at price* that hav« not tsanspired. The sales this week have bet» j about 200 baler.
