Love makes me feel dizzy, Like sugar and brandy; My vision is reeling— My hiainsare all burning— And the sweet cream of feeling Is curdled by churning; For my heart ’nealh my jacket Is up and down jumping* And keeps up a racket With its thumping and bumping; O, ohow me one smile—’ns my last supplication! 1 crave nothing further—*tw ill be my salvation! Ob, Lizzy, I’m worsted— I feel its all over; I’m done up and bursled A broken down lover! The joys of my bosom Have cut slick and vani.-h’d; I know’d I should lose ’em, When my true love you banish’d, The world has grown dreary, In i.s sackcloth of sorrow; Os life I am weary. And wish that to-morrow Would dawn on my grave, in that peace giving valley. Where I’d care not for you, nor for Susan, nor Sally! I know 'tis a sin too— But I’m bent on the notion— I’ll throw myself into The deep briny ocean. Where mud-eels and cat-fish On my body shall riot. And flounders and.fl it fish Select me fur diet; There soundly I'll slumber Beneath the rough billow, And crabs without number Shall crawl o’er my pillow: But my spirit shall wander through gay coral bowers. And frisk with the mermaids—it shall, by the powers! [ From the London Chronicle, Jan. 2.J Mpirit of the British Jourfiulm MR. WALKER’S REPORT. The financial statement set forth in Mr. Walker’s masterly report, is not the only persuasive which it contains to a peaceful policy. Rarely have the mu tual advantages of free and friendly com mercial intercourse between two great nations been explained with more clear ness and power than in the remarks of; lire American Secretary on the relations 1 between his own countty and Great ' Jlritain. He inspires us with new hopes that the great example set by England in her corn bill, late though it was, will not fail of its effect upon foreign countries. For generations England was the mis sionary of the doctrines of protection. Who could withstand the commercial teachings of the most successful of com mercial nations? Who was an authority in matters of economy and finance, if not England? In following her example, the chief divisions ot the human family have shut themselves out from the main benefits which the diversities of soil, and climate, and productions were intended to confer upon mankind. But England has grown wiser; and already her people, and the great nation which has sprung from the same slock, are imparting to each other out of their abundance. The mutuality of interest becomes daily clearer; and the commercial wisdom of an arrangement winch had common sense in its favor be fore, is now enforced by the authority of England. The example is working, and will work. The blow struck at the corn laws is shaking all commercial harriers. The report of the American Secretary is a document that must tell throughout the Union, and if any commentary upon it be needed in the great agricultural Slates, it will be supplied by the advices from t he corn markets of New Uork. [ From the Times, Jan. 2.] The report of the Secretary of the United States Treasury is now before us, and is a document as interesting in its composition as it is instructive in its dis closures. Nothing can surpass the lucid clearness with which it describes the true commercial policy of the Union. It is most gratifying, not to our national pride, but to our fraternal yearnings, to find that in the universe of intelligence, a people so long and abruptly alienated can still feel the attraciion of our goodness, and reflect the splendor of our example, —The more enlightened party in the Union now clings for support to a noble and successful British precedent. Let us not rouse any lurking jealousy by touching this chord. In England, vve have long been willing to learn from our re publican cousins, and we hail in them the same wise docility which we have ourselves long practised. [From (he London Times, Dec. 29.] mr. Webster's Philadelphia speech. Among the various articles of Trans atlantic production brought over by the last packet, another monster harangue delivered by Mr. Webster to his clique of New England manufacturers must, we should think, hear the palm, at least in respect ot dimensions. Mr. Webster seems determined to cap not only himself, but the Congress. We should imagine his speech, if stretched to its linear ex tent, would go several times round the world, or at least as far as from Baffin’s Bay to Cape Horn. Its columnar length suggests the sea serpent. By the Baker street test, it is a prize speech. We never saw so boundless a continuity of stuff. Everything is lugged in to aug ment its bulk and prolong its tail. Strings of Massachusetts resolutions, catenas of Presidential authorities, General Jack soniana, newspaper accounts of trades’ processions, without an atom of the tom foolery left out, financial returns, ab stracts of legislative acts, and other un speakable,indescribable,in numerable rub bish, are arranged together into as gro tesque and worthless a series as those singular collections of old iron locks, keys, rings, tools, hinges, &c., or rags under their multitudinous van# * cs, which one may see in a continental market place. The speech looks rather like a J Presidential address gone offal half cock. We have no doubt, however, that tlie worthy conjuror himself is perfectly satis fied with the time, place, and circum stances under which he has pulled out his half mile of thetorical tape. The speech was deliveied at Philadelphia, and of course went down unctou-Iy enough with ihe inhabitants of that cele hrated city. Now a iong t speech is a very fine thing, particularly when the speaker believers it shins pedc in uno. This of course was Mr. Webster’s position, when lie took his ground on the protection of manufactures, avowedly to the discouragement of agri culture, and on the intersts of a cotnpar atively crowded region, avowedly against a new settled and almost new discovered continent. But the exhibition, barring its longitude, is hv no means successful, O 1 * In fact, the uniped statesman breaks down. In the enormous ami almost trackless interval between the beginning and the end of his speech, he has forgotten somewhat of his orignal purpose. We defy any ingenuity to reconcile these passages, the latter spoken, of course, when the first was forgotten. We are not going to comment on the vulgar tone ot the address—that shall speak for itself, to almost any English reader. Whether “protection for labor” has any more plausibility in the United States than in England, we should think does not admit of very much question. Consid er for a moment what tho new States, taking such gigantic strides in ihe far West, on llie shores of those unparallel ed livers and lakes, Understand by “a law which shall induce capitalists to cm ploy their money in such a manner as shall occupy and employ American la bor?*’ Will they think these lair pomises fulfilled by a tariff which, as far as it can, shall pievent the increasing population of Britain from exchanging the work of their hands with the produce of the Ame rican soil? There is no region in the whole world where labor and capital are to he seen on so vast a scale and with such rapid and brilliant results as iu the new j Slates—for example, Michigan, which in I twenty years has progressed from a for i est to an almost well peopled, well-citied, well ported country; that in some res j poets, could sland a favorable compari son with central Europe. Canals, rail ways, fleets of steamers, carry here and the re a population and an amount ot pro perty which, even in the sanguine thoughts of the last generation, could not have been conceived. Is not this ‘-capi tal and labor?” Yet tiiis is what Mr. Webster professes to benefit by a tariff which forbids it to interchange its super flous fruits with manufacturing England. [From the London Times, December 17.] Mr. WEBSTER AND MR. DALLAS. As for the comparative consistency of the two men, as “a Stales,-man” reminds us, it has been the fortune of both to change. “Mr. Dallas was a protectionist, and is now a free-trader; Mr. Webster was a federalist, and is now a democratic “whig.”—Mr. Dallas has enlarged his j sympathies to the breadth of the Union; Mr. Webster has contracted them to the proverbial prejudice and narrowness of a j New England manufacturer. Mr. Web ster is the more remarkable man. He has long been distinguished for informa tion, astuteness, eloquence, versatility, and, above all, for his intimate acquaint ance with the law and institutions of the mother country. He has been called the Brougham of America. Whether such qualities are the most favorable to the growth of political honesty, candor, and self-sacrifice, we will leave to ethical writers. It is a vulgar opinion that they are very compatible with selfishness and prejudice. Mr. Dallas has not been so distinguished—that is till his recent elevation. If, however, his recent reply to the Washington Committee is to he the test, .lie notonly possesses great talents, but heis pree-mineatly a man to he trusted and believed. f From the .V. O. Picayune , 31sf ull.] The Volunteers Again. The Excitement of Last Night.— The town was full of excitement last night, reports being in every man’s mouth of alleged outrages committed by the Mis sissippi volunteers. It was currently as serted and believed that a portion of them had refused to embark unless a comrade, who had been arrested for murder, was released and permitted to accompany them; that a portion of them had cut away a mast of one of the vessels to pre vent her sailing; that Lieut. Col. Kilpat rick, on ordering a company to charge with the bayonet upon some of the more refractory, had been shot down; that a regular battle ensued, in which several officers and many of the men were killed; and finally that the rioters had fired upon a train of cars on the Mexican Gulf Rail road, and were falling upon the planta lions below the city, bent upon fresh mis chief. Such were the alarming reports received and believed by many, and the excitement, especially in the lower part of the city, was intense. People armed themselves and turned out in numbers, and had the city been beleaguered by thousands, the bustle and agitation could not have been greater. The Legion un der Maj. Gaily was called out and mus tered in the Place d'Armes, the up town troops were also called upon, and a]l the pomp and circumstance cf real war were enacted incur usually quiet city. Thou sands of citizens congregated around the r> o cathedral, all anxious to see and learn something positive and tangible, while the ' flittering uniforms of the members of the 1 ! Legion, as they paraded in !he square, shone brightly under the broad, full moon. So much tor the excitement thus far. By 9 o’clock it began to bo evident that the whole affair was a false alarm, but ; how got up or started we could not learn. The Governor had called out the Legion, j lo act as circumstances might warrant; many thought they were to be marched directly to the old battle ground of 1915, | there to attack the unruly malcontents; but at 10 o’clack the excitement passed off, news came that the regiments had embarked and w ere on their way to Mexi | co, the different reports of bloody doings j below the city proved lo be unfounded, | the military were ordered to disperse, and quiet once more reigned. We cannot, amid the thousand and one rumors, come at the real cause of all this I excitement, but it is probable that the at tempt lo arrest some of the volunteers, and resistance on the part of Ids comrades, caused the whole of it. The lawless acts of some of them, especially in the lower part of the city, and the fears of the in ; habitants in that section of further and j even more high-handed outrages, helped I | to fan and increase the alarm, until final- ; i ly our citizens were ready to receive and j | believe any rumor that reached them. The volunteers, or the larger part of them, have gohe, and for ourselves we arc j heartily glad of it. That they have had but indifferent treatment While here is granted by all; that the elements have ; conspired to add lo their discomfort is ; equally true; and furthermore a portion of them, few in number but reckless and abandoned men, have conspired toaddlhe mortification of an ill name to the many misfortunes that beset them. They are now gone, and w e hope that u hen we next hear of them, they will have done such valorous things as will purge the memo- : ries of the past of their bitterness. What havoc a few misguided men can make of the reputat ion of many with which they are Associated, they have^severely proved. May their gallantry redeem even these I fiom the ways of crime. r ßeported for the Baltimore Sun.] TWENTY-NINTH CONGRESS. Washington, Feb. 1, 1847. SENATE. The Vice President laid before the Senate a communication from the Secretary of the Treasury, in answer lo a resolution offered | by Mr. Cameron, and adopted on the 7th of ; ; January, in relation to the means of increas | ing the revenue by increased or diminished i duties upon articles now dutiable, and by lay- j ing a duty upon articles now free. The Secretary recommends an increased duty of 10 per cent, on coal and iron, coths | and casimeres, costing Over $4 per square vard, and white and red lead; Os 20 per cent, on brown, white and refined sugars; and of 5 ! per cent, on cotton prints, costing over 30 ' cents per square yard, and cottons, not print ed, costing over 20 cents per square yard.— j This increase of duty, he says, will produce t j in the aggregate $1,418,000. He recommends a decrease of 5 percent. I ! in the duty now levied upon axes, hammers ! j cliissels, plough-shares, &.C., and on cotton i [ goods not costing over 8 cents per square I I yard, and not weighing over one-third lb. to J the square yard. This decrease of duty is | ’ estimated to produce $05,000. A duty is again recommended upon tea I | and ffee—but if the foregoing suggestions | are adopted, he recommends that it should ibe 16 per cent instead 0f25. as before recom i mended. The House resolution of thanks to Gen. Taylor, was passed by informally. Air. Sevier gave notice that he should call up the three million bill to-morrow, at one o’clock. The army bill was taken up. and the ques tion being on its passage, Mr. Houston moved to recommit it lo the committee on military affairs, with instructions to report it comformably to his amendment (offered last week and rejected) changing the character j of the troops from regulars to volunteers. Mr. Houston defended the motion in a speech of much ability, in the course of which 1 he maintained that volunteers were every way more expedient than regulars in the pro bent instance. Mr. Huntington said that as longas a mo- | lion to recommit the bill had been made, he j would move to amend the instructions pro- ; posed by Mr. Houston, be striking them out, , and inserting instructions to the committee I to strike out the proviso in the bill which , gives the soldier the option of taking SIOO | of 6 per cent, loan, instead of IGO acres of land. Mr, Huntington made a brief speech in | support of the amendment to the instructions | 1 proposed by him. After some remarks from Messrs. Sim mons, Jarnagin and Crittenden, tiie amend* ; rnent was negatived—yeas IS, nays 28. The question then recurring upon the mo tion of Mr. Houston, it was negatived with ! out a divison. The bill was then passed—yeas 29, nays ■ 3, [Gilley, Corwin and Davis.) The Senate then went into Executive ses i sion, and after sometime spent therein, ad i journd. ! HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The consideration of Mr. Thompson's resolution of inquiry, under consideration ; when the House adjourned on Saturday, was | resumed, the question being on the amend ment offered by Mr. Ashmun, including a I call for ail information relative to the return j ; of Santa Anna lo Mexico, with which the i Executive of this country was in any way connected. The amendment of Mr. Ashman was re jected, 76 to 99, and the resolution, as offered by Mr. Thompson, vvasadopted, 101 to 63. * The bill from the committee on foreign relations, reported by Mr. Charles J. Ingersoll on the 20lh January, and made the special order of the day for the first Monday in Feb ! ruary, making further provision for the ex penses attending the intercourse between the United States and foreign nations—the three million bill to enable the President to con | elude a treaty of peace with Mexico —was then taken up, and Air. Ingersoll moved a postponement of its consideration until Mon day next. Mr. Preston King proposed an amendment prohibiting slavery in new territiry to be ac quired, but the motion was declared not to be i in order while the question of postponement was pending. Mr. IngcrsoU’s motion prevail -1 td, 97 to 83. A message from ttie President, and comma • nications from the Treasury Department, were read and ordered to be printed—the former enclosing a report from the War Department, in reply to resolution of inquiry as to the number of members of Congress bolding commissions in Mexico, and by whom commissioned. That from the Tres- | ury Department giving a statement of the ; quantities of unsold public lands within 30 j miles of the Mississippi, and how long they have been in the market. The ten regiment bill, with the amendment of the Senate, was referred lo the military committee, and the amendment ordered lo be printed. The bill to enable the Secretary of the Treasury to dispose of the stock of the gov ernment in the Chesapeake and Delaware canal company, was read and referred to the committee of the whole on the state of the Union. Adjourned. Washington, Feb. 2, 1847. SENATE. After the reception of a message from the President, the Vice President laid before the Senate a report of tiie Secretars of War, giving the militia returns of ail tiie Slates. It wasordered to be printed. The resolutions heretofore offered by Air. Xilcs relative to tiie tariff, coming up, were, on motion of Mr. Sevier, postponed til! to-mor row. The House joint resolutions of thanks to General Trylor, were read a second time and postponed till to-morrow. Tiie bill appropriating three millions of dol lars to be placed at the disposal of I fie Presi dent, to be used in case Alexico shall agree to treat, was then taken up Air. Sevier explained that the object of the bill was to enable the President to conclude a peace with Alexico. The President was of opinion, from communications he had receiv ed rom Alexico; that peace could be had, and he was willing to assent to it, provided Mexico would cede to us New Alexico and Upper California. Air. Berrien spoke in opposition to the hill. Mr. Berrien moved to postpone the bill until Thursday, which motion prevailed; yeas 28, nays 18. Air. Berrien then submitted an amendment, which he said he would offer to the bill at the proper time, to the effect that it is the true meaning and intent of this appropriation that the war with Mexico ought not to be prose cuted by this government with any view to the dismemberment of that republic; that this government will always be ready to enter upon negotiations with a view of terminating the present unhappy conflict, upon terms that 1 shall secure the just rights and preserve in violate the national honor of both nations, and that it is indispensably desirable that the na tional boundary of the Sate of Texas shall be ( definitely settled, and provision made by Alexico for the prompt adjustment of the claims of our citizens. After a short executive session, the Senate then adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The committee of the whole. Mr. Hamlin in the chair, then took up the bill making ap propriations for the support of the military 1 academy for the year ending 30th J one, 1848. i Considered the same and ordered it lu be laid aside, to be reported to the House. The same committee had under considera tion the civil and diplomatic appropriation bill. Air. Wentworth, of Illinois, addressed the committee, in opposition to a tax on lea and coffee, which he denounced as a project to tax old women and children, for the support of the war with Mexico. Air. Johnson followed, also on the ques tion taxing tea and coffee, and endeavored lo i prove that neither the President nor the Se | crelary of the Treasury were in favor of a lax on tea and coffee. Air. Delano, of Ohio* next addressed the Committee. Air. Wick, of Indiana; closed the debate to-day, when the Committed rose and report ed progress of the bill under consideration, | and the bill making appropriations for the Military Academy, without amendment.— The latter was read the third time and pass- | ed, and then the Hou-e adjourned. J Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.] Washington, Feb. 1. 1847. To-morrow will commence the real battle j of the session in the Senate. The three mil- | 1 lion appropriation bill is made the special or ! der of the day, and will be seized upon as the ; i proper vehicle for conveying all the accumu- i lated wrath and disappointment of Senators : ' lo the door of the executive mansion. It will ; j be an assorted cargo; containing many things j i curious as well as instructive, and some that j ; have for a long time been altogether out of i the market. Mr. Webster, who has thus far but seldom made his appearance in the Sen ate during this session, will define his posi- i | tion in regard to the War; showing what dis- | i ference there is between voting the supplies j j and approving the principles of tiie war. Mr. I i Calhoun will be induced to break his longat -1 lenlive silence, and give his views on the manner of closing the war. Gen. Cass will | go for Vera Cruz and Mexico, and Col. Ben- ! i ton for tiie Lieut. General, to give unity and ! strength to the prosecution of the war. No ! one can defend that measure, with half the j | warmth or half the nobility. There is an increasing disposition on the j part of northern members to drop the Wil* j mot proviso, and it is more than likely that no proviso about slavery will be attached to the bill in the .Senate. As theexample ofthe Servile is always regarded with great defer- ! ence by the House, the latter has postponed the consideration of the bill till Monday, so as to give the Senate, in the mean lime, a chance of expressing its opinion on so impor tant a subject. There is no doubt that the different fractions of the democratic party in both houses, who had left Washington on the ! close of the la=t session “in a huff*,” and who, on that account, were not disposed to work ! harmoniously together at lire commencement 1 of this session, are gradually coming to a belter understanding, so as to present a fair prospect of union toward the dose of the pre sent session. But this union appears, after all, to be produced by the pressure from with out more than by the cohesive attraction with in, and resemble the parts of a pudding that are merely kept together by thebag. The report of Mr. Walker, in reply to the inquiries of Gen. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, on what articles the duties might be increased within the revenue principle, has gone up lo the Senate this morning. As I intimated a day or two ago, he recom mends an increase of 10 per cent, ad valorem of the duty on coal and iron, and 30 per cent. cd valorem on refined sugar. Tiie duty on tiie remaining articles remains pretty much the same. The report is very able. It will now depend on the opposition to grant or de ny Pennsylvania the desired boon. The difficulties with Brazil arc, I believe, honorably adjusted. Brazil has reason to con sider us'lier friends, and I believe Mr. Bu chanan has convinced her of it. With less calmness and statesmanship on his part, a drunken frolic might have been the means of interrupting, for a lime at least, our friendly j and important commercial relations with that l power.

Money tl d ial, The Philadelphia money market has been comparatively easy since the arrival of the steamer. The Banks have discounted with more freedom, and ffrsl class paper could be negotiated without difficulty at six per cent. 'Flie feeling in the Money and Stock market was remarkably buoyant last week, and slocks of almost every description advanced. The Three ITlilliou 'J’lie bill appropriating three millions of dollars, to be used by the President in nego tiating a peace with Mexico, was on the 2d inst. taken up in the Senate. Mr. Sevier, i in opening the debate, staled that the Presi dent was satisfied, by information he had re- : ceived from Mexico, that a peace could be negotiated, and that he was ready to enter into such a negotiation, based on the ccs- j si mi of New Mexico and California to the United States. Treasury Notes Outstanding. The Register of the Treasury announces the amount of treasury notes outstanding on the Ist inst., to have been $4,375,180 97. l.alcst from .South America.

The festivities ordered to commemorate the nuptials of the Queen of Spain firm the burden of the Havana papers for several days. Not an incident on the occasion is worth transcribing, save as evincing the loyalty of feeiing existing among the IJabaneros. A letter from an occasional correspondent at Havana says that M r.

MONTGOMERY, (Ala.) Feh’ry. i l.~Cotion.. - The accounts from New Orleans on Friday last, produced great excitement in the market and pri ces rose rapidly. As high us 13c was asked, but we have not heard of any sellimrat that. Yester day there was nothing doing. The accounts that had reached Baltimore by Telegraph, were receiv ed by letter, and from some apparent discrepancy « between them and those from New Orleans, and from lite failure of the mail Sunday evening, busi ness came to a stand still, all being afraid to med dle with the market until they had received the steamer’s news complete. APALACHICOLA, JAN. 30th.— Cotton.— On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, the inquiry for cotton was very moderate, the sales of the three days amounting to 1000 to 1200 bales, with out any change in prices. Yesterday, after tho mail was distributed, an active inquiry sprung up, which resulted in the sale of about 1000 bales. In consequence of the very favorable accounts from other markets, factors in most cases were enabled to realize full 4e. advance—the sales, however, were very irregular, some lots changing bands at about old rates. To-day the market has been qui et —the few sales made exhibit an advance of 4 to 4c on the quotations in our price current of Tues day. The market being unsettled we omit quota tions altoge.ber.
