The following extract nf a Jotter from the jour nul of nn ofliprr on board ih« United Stales ship North Carolina, now in the Pacific, we copy from the last number of the Army and Navy Chroni cle.—The time is not far distant when the pas sage totlio Pacific, by the doubling of Capo Horn, will he almost totally neglected, and that by the I Sinus of Magellan universally adopted. I am i aware that this idea will be looked upon as chi met ical; but how many thousands of things have come to pass, and been rendered practicable, which, at first, were scarcely thought of as pro' blemalical. The passage through the Straits of Magellan, averages (rotn three to five days, and is perfectly safe; while that by the way of Cope Horn, from Capo Virgins, on the cast, to Cape Victoria, on the west sides o South America, is ; Iron. 15, 20, 25. 30, 35, nnd 40 days; and al ; though not dangerous, is any thing but pleasant. I It is to me perfectly absurd to scud schooners, : hr gs, and sloops to the Pacific, by the doublin' jof Cape Horn. And after the passage through the Straits of Magellan shall have become belter i known, its absurdity will a| pear to uvery ono in Us true light.

Mr PATTON, of Virginia, resigned his scat in the House of Representative* today. Having accepted the appointment of Councillor of Stale to which he was recently elected by the General Assembly of the --Old Dominion,” it appears to have been rxpeccd that ho would micr upon tbc duties of the oflico immediately. In cheer ful compliance wiih the wishes of thovc who conferred on him that dislingui»hed jjonor, lie has thought proper to leave Congress. The Speaker laid before the House a letter from the honorable member announcing bis resignation. On motion of Mr Drorngoolo, ii was ordered to bo printed, and laid on the labli; and tbc Speaker was directed lo inform Ihe Governor of Virginia that a vacancy bad occurred in the representa tion of ibo State. Mr PATTON’S Distiict it is believed, is sound lo the core, and will certainly return a ! member opposed lo the sub-Treasuiy project, and nil its relations and censanguinitice—a conferva live—if not a Whig. Mi HAMER, o( Ohio, threw the trainband j into great confusion lo day, by bringing forward J a joint resolution directly adverse to that fero cious and destructive spirit which has so long ■ar> actuated the administration in their conduct to wards the bunks. After referring to the deranged condition of tho currency and exchange, the commerce and general business of the country, and lo the fact that some of the banks aro ma king efforts to resume specie payment*; this re markable resolution proposed to declare with alt duo form and solemnity tho sense of tin Senate and the House of Representative in Congress assembled, to be that it is Tit* hutt ok tux Gotkiinmest (mark that, the jiutt) to aid thebmksin resuming, regaining the con(biee ro of tho public, giving relief to the pcon an j furnishing a sound and uniform cunincy, I can give you no idea of'bo surprise this movement crenird. The political associates of the mover did not know what to make of it. Mr Hamer is an important man in his parly. Ho has more debating power than any administration man in the House. His defection would be a serious loss to them at this critical period. No tiling was heard for a while but speculations as j to Ids motives and designs. The belter opinion appeared to bo that the proceeding was his own, and not suggested, ad - j vised or concurred in by the administration. It . seemed dead enough that ho hud no concert with any considerable number of bis parliians and al lies, for tho general astonishment was obvious and sincere, and some of them denounced him , -ing resolved to fly the track and making as liJ- ° .. . . . as Lis lust step. 1 his is cons this movemu.’*- „ , . , “He intends to bait said servatism, cried one. - , ... •• -xclaimed a third, another. “Ho is easing oil l " *- another Mr GARLAND, ofLoui.iana, - -n attempt to procure the adoption of his resolu,-'I’- 1 ’-- , lor inquiring into the expediency of making a ] general reduction in the expenditures for differ- 1 cnl branches of lha public service, but the pro- J fussing sticklers for rciicnchmcnl defeated the 1 proposition.

Tho House then went into Committee of the Whole, Mr Corwin, of Ohio, in the Chair, and resumed the consideration of Mr Whittlesey’s bill for eslab ishing a Bo ird of Commissioners lo examino and decide on claims against the United Stales.
