Mr. Morehead, from citizensofPennsylvania,
stating that the present Tariff has been attendad
with wonders ul benefits to the country, and pray

is shown.
Mr. Bayard, from the Committee on Naval
Affairs, reported the House bill for the relief of
the sufferers by the loss of the U. S. schr. Gram
pus, amended so as to include those of the Sea
Gull.
Mr. Tappan called up a resolution presented
by him some time since, and laid on the table,
directing the Secretary of the Navy to furnish
copies of the proceedings of the court of inquiry
and court martial in the case of Alexander
Mackenzie. Mr. T. now amended the resolu
tion by adaing, “ and all correspondence on file
in the Navy Department in relation thereto.”
Mr. Berrien thought this subject had been
buried. He hoped the Senator would not press
the resolution to-day; he wished to present his
views upon it.
The resolution was postponed.
Mr. Archer resumed the discussion U|K>n the
Oregen resolution, and strongly objected to its
adoption. He designed ultimately to move to
lay the resolution on the table.
Mr. Rives followed on the same side, but not
to discuss the question, but to correct some ol
Mr. Buchanan’s errors.
The floor was then given to Mr. Choate, and
the Senate adjourned.
HOUSE.
Sundry bills were reported in the House—
geneially ol a local or private character.
Mr. C. J. Ingersoll moved a suspension of

and the rules were suspended. Yeas 89, naysTZ.
The Speakercalled Mr. Hamlin to the Chair.
Mr. C. J. Ingersoll then proceeded to address
the Committee in favor of giving notice to Great
Britain of the intention of this Government to
annul the joint occupancy of the Oregon Terri
tory. He spoke an hour, and was followed by
Mr. Winthrop, who sustained the opposite
aide of the question in a sound and forcible
speech.
The debate was further continued by Messrs.
Elmer, Morse, Schenck, Kennedy ol Indiana,
and White, of Kentucky, and had not been
brought to a close up to the hour of adjourn
ment, so as to take the question.
Washinoton, March 19.
IN SENATE.
Mr. Benton appeared in his seat to day, for
the first time since the bursting of the wrought
iron cannon on board the steamer Princeton.
Mr. Choate then rose and made one of his
best efforts, in reply to Mr. Buchanan. In an
swer to one ol Mr. B.’s jesuitical arguments
about the butchery of 500 citizens of this coun
try, by the Hudson Bay Company, Mr. C. said,
that the first noiice of this event that reached us
was in 1819, under the administration of the
military chieftain, Andrew Jackson.
HOUSE.
The Chair, after the transaction of some un
important business, stated that the order of the
day was the next business that would come up.
The House then took up the resolution re
ported by the select committee on the Rhode
Island memorial, proposing to send for persons
and papers.
Mr. McClelland, of Illinois, addressed the
House in support of the proposition.
Mr. Harralson, Chairman of the Committee
on Military Affairs, reported back to the House
the bill for dividing the United States into two
military districts, together with sundry papers
called for by a resolution of the House, having
reference to the subject of the bill. He moved
that the bill be referred to the Committee of the
Whole, and that the bill and papers be printed.
The motion was adopted.
Ma Pettit, of Ind., offered a resolution di
recting the Committee on Post Offices and Post
Roads to enquire and report whether the docu
ments and other matter franked by members of
Congress are sent regularly from this city, and
if not, what disposition is made of them.
The previous question was called on the re
solution and it was adopted.
Mr. Hamrnet presented a memorial, praying
the annexation of Texas, and moved that it be
referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs,
and that it be printed. Adopted.
Fortifications. — Mr. McKay moved that the
rules be suspended, and that the House resolve
itself into a Committee of the Whole. The mo
tion was adopted, and the Speaker called Mr.
Cave Johnson to the Chair.
The Committee took up the bill, making
appropriations for Fortifications. A slight
amendment was proposed by Mr Stetson, and a
diacusion in reference to it is going on at the
time of making up this report.
P. S. The Committe rose for the want of a
quorum before a vote was taken on the amend
ment. A motion was then made to adjourn,
and the yeas and nays were ordered.
Washington, March 20.
IN SENA PE.
Texas Mr. Walker presented joint resolu
tions ol the Legislature of Mississippi, and also
those of Alabama, in favor of the annexation of
Texas to the United States. Mr. W. did not
wish to say anything now upon this subject, but
he moved the printing of the resolutions, and
their reference to the Committee on Foreign
Affairs—both of which were ordered.
Adjournment of Congress.— Mr. Evans sub
mitted a Joint Resolution that the President of
the Senate, and Speaker of the House, adjourn
their respective branches on the 20th May nexi,
at 12 o’clock. Mr. E. said he did not wish it
now considered, but would call it up some day
next week.
Oregon.— Mr. Choate rose at the instance of
his friend from Va., (Mr. Archer,) who had
suggested to him that he had overstated one of
Mr. Buchanan’s positions, in reference to the
feeling that existed in this country towards Eng
land. He said, if he had done so, no one re
gretted it more, and that he need not say that it
was entirely unintentional. He had not com
pared the reports.
Mr. Buchanan seemed to think the disclaimer
insufficient, and declined to reply to Mr. Choate
to-day, but said he would confine his remarks to
the treaty, and allow Mr. C. to examine the re
ports.
Some further conversation was had between
Messrs. Choate, Buchanan and Rives, but no
regular speech was made, and the Senate ad
journed.
HOUSE.
A good part of the day’s sitting was spent in
a controversy and debate upon the “ points of
order” which grew out of some action had upon
a bill relating to a bill regulating the holding ot
U. S. Courts in Ohio; in the course of which
Speaker Jones made one of his many partial de
cisions, which drew out Mr. White, late Speak
er—between whom and Mr. Jones, a somewhat
sharp controversy arose—Jones, as usual, hav
ing refused to recognise Mr. W.’s right to the
floor. The matter was ended by a vote to sus
tain the Speaker— that gentleman giving thecast
ingvote in his own favor!
I The Rhode Island matter then came up, and
Mr. Stetson, of N. Y., devoted his hour to
the defence and explanation ot Mr. Van Buren’s
votes in the New York Convention upon the
right of suffrage 1
When Mr. Stetson closed about half the mem
bers in the Hall rose to get the floor.
The floor was given to Mr. Simmons, of
Conn, when the
F’erti/ica/fon bill was taken up, and debated
in committee of the whole, for some lime.
Next, the bill from the Senate, repealing the
act to dismount the Second regiment ol
Dragoons, was debated in the same committee
of the whole; but no action was had.
The committee then rose, and repoited the
fortification bill to the House—when it was
passed, and
The House adjourned.
March 21.

Mr. Evans also gave notice that on Monday
next he should ask the Senate to take up his Re
solution naming the 20th of May for the ad
journment of the two Houses of Congress.

chase from Hiram Powers such busts of the
Presidents ot the United States as he may have
executed either from the originals or from au
thentic copies.
The Oregon Resolution disposed of. — Mr. Se
vier of Arkansas addressed the Senate briefly in
behalf ot the Resolution to put an end to the
treaty of 1818.
Mr. Sevier spoke in reply to Mr. Choate and
in a zealous defence of the instructions proposed

and debated it until the hour of adjournment.
HOUSE.
Rhode Island Question — The orders of the day
were called for. Mr. Seymour of Conn, being
entitled to the floor.
The Previous Question was moved and se
conded.
The first question voted upon was the amend
ment of Mr. Causin of Md. to discharge the
Committee from the consideration of the whole
sabject
The majority refused this, ayes 70, noes 86.
The question returned upon the Resolution to
qend for persons and papers.
a* motion was made to lay. the Resolution I
upoa iM Mtbi* and lost. Apea 7t, no*- 84
The question resumed upon adopting the Re
solution. The vote was ayes 78, noes 71.
Mr. Hardin, of Illinois moved a reconsidera
tion. He said he should endeavor to keep as
near the subject as the gentleman from New
York who spoke yesterday and did’nt touch it,
and the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Duncan,)
who made a speech upon matters and things in
general upon a bill to make the elections for
President and Vice President in one day.
Mr Hardin had not stated the text of his
speech when the Speaker stated that the morn
ing hour had expired.
Mr. Hardin claimed, and the Speaker con
ceded the floor as a privileged question.
The debate went on. Mr. Hardin following
the precedent of exposing Mr. Van Buren’s
weakness where others had pointed out his
strength. A long expose was made of Mr. V.
Buren’s inconsistencies upon the subject of
Banks.
[Mr. Hardin is a man of ready wit and great
good humor, and during his hardest hitsmem
i ers of all parties were kept in good humor by
the pleasantry ot manner and language.]
Mr. Van Buren’s connections with the Banks
and Currency were also stated, and the kinds of
currency which had grown up under the Bank
ing System which nobody had done more to es
tablish or abuse than Mr. Van Buren.
Mr. Van Buren was quoted as for the U. S.
Bank and against it; as tor the State Banks and
against them ; and then against all Banks what
ever. He was lor everything and against every
thing, and upon all sides generally. In regard
to suffrage it was the same- -one day had been
devoted here to the proof that he was for allow
ing negroes to vote, and another day to prove
that he was against it. Any thing could be
proved from Mr. Van Buren’s votes or opinions.
From the subject of Banks, Mr. Van Buren’s
views upon the subject of negro suffrage as gi
ven in the New York Convention.
Mr. Hardin came to the Tariff next, and be
gan with the duty on Salt and upon the Tariff
generally, Mr. Van Buren was all things to
all men, not exactly to do good to all but to catch
votes fromall. Mr. Hardin then glanced at Mr.
Van Buren's views upon the subject of the ex
penditures of the Government, and sat down at
the end of the hour.
Mr. Hardin’s motion to reconsider the vote
adopting the resolution was then laid upon the
table, 89 to 77.
Second regiment of Dragoons.— The House
went into Committee of the Whole upon the
above bill between 3 and 4 P. M. and gave the
remainder of the day to the subject.
Mr. Adams addressed the House in an earnest
speech against remounting the dismounted
Regiment oi Dr? j >ons and in favor of disband
ing the regiment of riflemen which took the
place of them.
The speech of Mr. Adams attracted great at
tention from its comments upon the agitating
questions connected withTexasand the Oregon.
He is for peace, and for having peace secured
by putting an end to the means of war.
The Tariff of 1842.—The following just
views of the Tariff ot 1842 are taken in that
very able exposition ot Whig principles and
policy, the Address to the People of Virginia
by the Whig State Convention that recently as
sembled at Richmond:
“Foiled in just expectations of having our
currency plat ed on its former footing—baffled
of our hope (to use the a; t words of Gen. Jack
son) of a ‘ just, safe, and federal’ distribution ot
the proceeds ot the sales of the public lands—
disappointed of that moral and political reform
in the principles of administering Executive
power and dispensing Executive patronage, to
effect which chiefly kindled our zeal and stimu
lated our exertions in that memorable struggle:
the tariff alone, of all the great measures for
which we achieved that victory, has been vouch
safed to our wishes. Assailed with all the cha
racteristic violence of a discomfited party, en
countering strong opposition also from many
tnen who sincerely believed its effects would be
pernicious, it was ushered into existence under
i hick clouds ot evil augury, and amid a storm
of clamors. Its effect, it was said, would be to
reduce our already insufficient revenues; to
raise the prices of what we imported at least to
the amount of increased duty; to crush the al
ready prostrate South, and still further to crip
ple and impoverish the whole country. Strong
as was the confidence of its friends, not only
that these results would not ensue,but lhe reverse
of such anticipations would be realized, yet was
the measure submitted to the test ot experience
with much solicitude, excited not only by the
magnitude of the direct effects of the measure
itself, but also of other important incidental con
sequences involved, in all likelihood, in its fad
ute or success. That experience we have now
enjoyed—the speculative has given place to the
practical—the cobwebs of sophistry have been
swept away by the actual result of experience;
and we point with a triumph, and exultation
we shall neither attempt to suppress nor dis
guise, to results so decisive that they should set
controversy at rest; so clear that they should
satisfy every doubt; and so full of blessings to
lhe country that they should disarm all opposi
tion. Instead of yielding only some twelve or
thirteen millions of revenue, as predicted by its
opponents, not less than eighteen millions have
been poured by it, during the pastyear, into the
public Treasury—an amount, it deserves to be
remembered, according very nearly with the es
timates of its f riends, and affording, if not a con
vincing proof, at least a corroboration, both of
the accuracy of their data, and lhe soundness ot
their inductions. We have the authority of the
eminent Chairman of the Senate Committee of
Finance for stating that, instead ot the predicted
rise in the price of every article included in the
tariff to the extent ol the increased duty, it is be
lieved there exists not even a single instance ol
any such result having taken place; but, on
the contrary, almost every such article is now
procurable in the market at a price less than it
could be bought for before the tariff took effect;
and this important assertion, which, if well
founded in its whole extent, or even if it approxi
mate the truth, should of itself be decisive in
favor ot the qualified and moderate tariff policy
which we advocate, is entirely in accordance
with all the information in possession of this
Convention.
“ The devoted South, whose ruin, according
to the sinister auguries of those who assumed
to be her more peculiar guardians, was to be
consummated by this ' worst of all tariffs,’ begins
again, we rejoice to see, to walk erect in her
strength—to recover, under its kindly and foster
ing influences, from its recent prostration, and
to start again on her accustomed and unrivalled
career of successful industry and enterprise.
The whole country feels its vivifying influence.
It has unlocked and given activity to millions
of capital that had long lain dormant or in a
state of decay among us. By enabling the in
dustry of our citizens to compete, on terms ot
some equality, with the labor ol Europe, it has
given employment and content to the thousands
on thousands of our citizens, whom a previous
unfortunate policy had thrown out of their ac
customed and more profitable avocations, on
less productive employments, or yet worse, on
courses of idleness and vice ; and, by substitu
ting an active demand, co-extensive with the
new wants and new means thus brought into
existence, where before there was none, for the
products of a thousand associated occupations
—tor the cotton and sugar of the South; the
flour and beef of the West, the manufacturing
skill of the North, may be justly said to have
given a new impulse to every branch of Ameri
can industry, agricultural, commercial, and me
chanical.
“Thus complete has been the fulfilment of
the promises of its friends—thus signal the
falsification of lhe ill-omened predictions of its
enemies.
“We might, we know, give greatly more
strength to some of these views by laying before
you the numerous tacts which exist around us,
tending to support them; but we are too well
aware how easy it is to mislead, in relerence to
a subject so vast and varied as this, by the dis
ingenuous and deceptive citation of isolated
instances, ts cite less than all; and to cite all,
or even a considerable number, would plain
ly be out ot place here, and too much ex
tend and encumber this Address. It is a
measure that cannot be judged by special
instances. In a work of such extent, variety,
and complication, it were a miracle if instances
to support almost any position might not be
quoted—if cases of error, too, did not exist.
But, with this qualification, we accept the issue
tendered, and go before the country on the tariff
of 1842, ‘in principle and in detail.' And we ap
peal, before an enlightened people, against the
barien sophistries and defeated predictions by
which it has been assailed, to the abundant
revenues it has furnished—to the lower prices
of articles ol import—to the lower prices oi
articles of import—to the restoration of the
credit of our Government—to the greater ac
tivity and better rewards of all branches of do
mestic industry, and the revival, more and more
distinctly manifesting itself, of the general pros
perity which has followed in its train, to de
monstrate its wisdom and vindicate its title to the
grateful and zealous support of the country,”
A Singular Taste.—An English gentleman
of education, and, so far as we know-, of irre
proachable character, left England some eigh
teen months since, with the intention of spend
ing some years in a solitary cell inoneol our
prisons. He applied at the Eastern Penitentiary,
but was denied admission. He insisted upon a
place in the cells, and while he averred that he
abhorred the idea of committing a crime, stated
that he would do so to ensure the accomplish
ment of his wishes. He was, of course, arrest
ed upon this threat, and required, by the Mayor
to give bail. In default of bail he was commit
ted to the Moyamensing prison, where he has re
mained for thirteen months. The prison doors
are, and have long been open to him, but he re
uses to leave his cell; and, as his daily labor
supports him, he is permitted to remain. He is
in the full possession ot his faculties; is cheer
ful, and performs all the labor of an ordinary
crnvict. But though engaged ten ho: r-each
day at the loom, he pursues his mathemaiical
and other studies with great perseverance and
energy. He converses with great intelligence
and is obviously, from education and associa
tion, a gentleman. This is a singular instance
ot voluntary and self-inflicted penance, i f such
it be; and the satisfaction which it seems to
confer upon itssubject, proves that the discipline
of that excellent institution is far from eruel
Philadelphia Forum.
Oregon.—lt seems to be pretty hard to get at
the true character ot the climate, soil, &c., of this
territory. No two accounts entirely agree. It
appears to take a hue according to the color ot
the glasses through which it is viewed. We find,
however, that the papers in the interest of the ‘
party that wishes to go to war for the territory,
invariably paint it as an El Dorado I We have
read pretty nearly all that has been written con
cerning it, from the Journal of Lewis and Clark
down, and our impressions are, that there is bet
ter land—and a plenty of it to supply all our sur
plus population for years to come—on the east
than on the west side of the Rocky Mountains,
whatever some of the Oregon adventurers may'
say to the contrary.
Below we give a brief article touching this
territory, for which we are indebted to the Nat
chez Free Trader —one of the war-hawk class of
papers, of course.
“Mr James Steen, a young gentleman raised
in this place, who a little more than two years
ago went out to Oregon, returned on Friday last
to our city on a visit to his relations and friends
here, brings us some interesting news, from
this land of promise. Ho statesthat the difficul
ties attending a trip to Oregon are greatly
magnified in the eyes of many—that the road is
generally good, and that thirty or forty persons
can always pass through the countries of any
of the Indian tribes on the route —that with the
exception of two or three predatory bands, they
are generally friends and disposed to barter and
trade with travellers. He states that the
Oregon Indians are friendly and well disposed
towards immigrants from the United States and
generally anxious for us to establish a govern
ment in the Territory. The country he repre
sents as one of the loveliest that the eye of man
ever dwelt upon, needing nothing but the hand of
civilization and the benign influence of our
equal .aws to render it second to none on the
continent in point of productiveness and agri
cultural prosperity. The country is rapidly
progressing in population from the United Slates
as well as from England, from the latter, how
ever, much m >re rapidly than from the former,
as the English immigrants come in by ship
loads, sent out no doubt through the influence, if
not by the direct agency ot the British govern
ment, in order to strengthen her claim by right
of colonization. For those who wish to be lhe
pioneers of civilization and assist in making the
wilderness to smile and blossom as the rose,
this country offers inducements unequalled by
any on the Globe.”
We clip the following from the Buffalo
Commercial Advertiser. We de not recollect
having seen any allusion of lhe kind in any
other paper.
Queen Victoria— Repohted Insanity.
—Leiters from highly respectable sources in
England, received in thiscity by the last arrival
at New York, intimatedistinetly, what|has before
been darkly hinted at, that the insanity which
so It ng afflicted George 111., is likely to prove
hereditary in his grand-daughter, Queen Vic
toria. The sy o'p oms, it is said, are already
apparent, producing as yet but little more than
what the French term lele monies, but giving
rise to painful apprehensions of the result.
The journeys of the Queen to Scotland, France
and Belgium, and her frequent short tours in va
rious counties of England, have been made, it
is farther said, in the hope that a change ol
scene, and filling the mind with new thoughts,
might break the distempered chain, and, if
possible, avert the threatened danger. This may
be nothing but gossip, but when, as in this case,
there is the hereditary taint of insanity in the
blood, there is always reason for apprehension.
A tew weeks or months will probably prove
the truth or falsity of the rumors now current.
We fervently hope they will turn out to be false,
for we can conceive of no event whose consequ
ences would be more calamitous to the whole
civilized world than the insanity of the Queen
ot England.
The Huge Leviathan. —We copy from
a Nassau, New Providence paper, the following
account of the Huge Leviathan, anew steam
ship said to have been invented by Lieutenant
Morrison, ol London, who is also the reputed
author of the annexed description of the Sea
Monster.
It is decidedly the richest thing of the kind
that has ever fallen under our observation. It
beats the floating batteries of Gen. Gaines, all
hollow. Hear what the gallant Lieutenant
says:
The Huge Leviathan will be 32,000 tons bur
then ; be propelled by three Archimedian screws
of 800 horse power each; length of deck, 600
feet; breadth, 174 feet; number of private cab
ins, 1000; extent of grand saloon, 15,000 square
leet—being a room, 150 feet long, by 100 feet
wide, and 18 feet high; complement of crew and
passengers, 5(350 persons. Estimated cost of
building, £150,000; fitting up £50,000; total,
£200,000. Estimated gross receipt ibr five sum
mer voyages to America and back, £2u0,000;
expenses per annum, £70,000; profits to propri
etors, £150,000 yearly.
rhe area of each ot her decks will be 104,400
feet being much beyond the extent of two acres 1
Yet the draft of water will not be above 20 feet,
and the vessel will be capable of entering the
Mersey. There will be a promenade around
the upper deck ol over one third of a mile cal
culated lor horse and carriage exercise. There
will be flower and kitchen gardens, conservato
ries, &c. extending over 750 square feet, the
whole of the rest of the immense area of the
decks being free for promenade, tents, seats, al
coves, &c., as there will be neither mast or fun
nel on deck to interfere with the comforts of the
passengers or check the speed of the vessel.
The cost of a best cabin, including table, will be
but £ls 15s. The charge for a passage in the
grand saloon, exclusive of table, with a second
sleeping apartment, being only £5. That ibr a
steerage passage, only £l. lhe vast extent of
this floating mass will prevent all violent motion
and sea sickness. The Huge Leviathan, being
propelled by a power of 2,400 horses, with side
sails which will extend 8,800 square leet of can
vass, will on a steady average, progress at the
rate of twelve miles per hour, and reach New
York from Liverpool in ten days! To avoid
ennui, and render the voyage agreeable, the ves
sel will be provided with a theatre to contain
1000 persons, and a regular company will be
attached to the ship. Aso a scientific lecture
room, with apparatus and lecturers for the bene
fit ot the passengers. And there will be a series
of shops, as drapers, booksellers, confectioners,
&c. &c. and a daily paper printed on board. The
Huge Leviathan will consist of three iron built
vessels, 500 feet long each, and 58 feet wide,
which will give tor each a tonnage of 10,735.
These three iron bottoms are to be joined to
gether, and a platform combining the area of all
(heir decks, with the lower deck of the vessel.
Mexico.—By the way of Havana, we have
received intelligence from Vera Cruz, to the 2d
inst. Little of importance has occurred. Mr
Bankhead, lhe new English minister, had not
yet arrived, but an English steam packet was in
sight, and it was believed to be the Inconstant,
with the Minister on board. Nothing positive
is known of lhe relations between England and
Mexico.
It is stated that a somewhat spicy correspon
dence had taken place between the French Min
ister and the Mexican Government, and that the
lormer had advised his countrymen not to give
up the privilege of retail business, and not to be
come naturalized.
General Waddy Thompson, was at Mexico
and Santa Anna, at Manga de Clavo.— N. O.
Bee.
Havana.—A private correspondent furnishes
us with the subjoined intelligence, which we
add to the new’s already received by the arrival
of the Alabama.
It is certain that a considerable number of in
dividuals suspected of having taken a part in the
late disturbances have disappeared. AtMatan
zas, the prisons are neither numerous nor spa
cious enough to contain those who have been
ordered to be incarcerated.
The slave trade is carried on with great
activity, in consequence ol the interested tole
i ance of the Captain General.— N. O. Bee.
An Offer promptly Accepted.—On Sat
urday morning the editor of the Rochester Ad
vertiser issued a call lor “ four hundred H'ntg
subscribers,” to bis daily paper—the subscrip
tion to be paid if the Loco Fuco candidate for
the Presidency should be successtul. But if on
the contrary Henry Clay should succeed, no pay
would be required. When this offer became
known about town, subscription papers were
opened at various places, and before night the
“ four hundred Whig subscribers” were obtain
ed. Their names will be presented to-day for
insertion on the Advertiser’s subscription books.
—Roch Dem.
Unfortunate Accident.—The brig Emily,
Sherwood, master, which arrived yesterday trom
Charleston, came in contact on Monday night,
off the Houk, during the north-west gale, with
the schr. Virginia, Capt. Bedell, trom Norfolk,
bound in. The brig was put in the act of going
in stays, but the foretopsaiJ sheet parted and she
mistayed. The helm was put up, and when off'
before the wind came in contact with'.he schoon
er, striking her between the fore and main
chains and cutting herdown to the water’s edge,
al! hands succeeded in getting on board the brig
with the exception of the following persons, who
were passengers—William Fitzgerald, Garrett
Vandenburg and H. Johnson, who are supposed
to have been injured by the concussion or
perished during the night,-a.s the vessel was seen
this morning laying about hall a mile from the
beach, with her masts above water.
Capt. Bedell, officers and crew render theii
thanks to Capt. Shrewood, for his kindness and
attention while on board the brig.—-V. Y. Cour.

Henry Clay ana the Coiiiyririiiisi-.— Mr. Clay,
during his stay at Mobile, received an invitation
from the citizens of Tuscaloosa, to visit that
city before his return to Kentucky. The request
was made by a committee who waited upon
him for that purpose ; and lhe Chairman of the
committee took occasion to allude in appropri
ate terms ol eulogy, to Mr. Clay’s agency in
the passage of the Compromise Act. In reply
ing Mr. Clay made the following admirable re
marks, with reference to that important measure,
and to lhe true principles which should govern
the adjustment of the Tariff question, as well as
to his own public life!—we commend them
heartily to general perusal :
Accept, gentlemen, rny cordial thanks for the
liberal estimate you have made, and the flatter
ing view which you have presented of mv pub
lic services. It is true, as you have justly re
marked, that measures to which I have given
my support, have often been misrepresented or
misunderstood. I have, myself, too, gentlemen,
been the subject of misconception and detrac
tion. I have confided, however, throughout my
whole public career, in the ultimate justice of
the people, and the operations of time. 1 have
not been disappointed in their results; 1 have
lived down all calumny and misconception to
which 1 have been exposed, and I enjoy at this
moment the inexpressible gratification ot feel
ing, that all parties, those with whom 1 agree,
as well as those with whom it is my misfortune
to differ, unite in,awarding me the character
which 1 have been most ambitious to establish,
of an honest man, truly devoted to the welfare of
his country.
I look back, gentlemen, with conscious satis
faction to my ag Key in the passage ol the Com
promise Law. The motives winch governed
me on that occasion, have been so often pub
licly avowed, that it is not necessary now to re
peat them. A leading one, was the preserva
tion of that Union, wlii.rb is at once the basis
and guarantee of al! our tights, privileges and
liberties, as a nation ol freemen. It was then, as
if it had been long manifested to me, that the
spirit ot mutual concession and compromise
which presided at the birth of our constitution,
should be constantly borne in mind during the
administration of the Government. With that
spirit, extremes are highly incompatible. Ul
traism would have prevented the formation of
the Constitution, as it may in the process pi
time, endanger its existence. Considering (he
great variety of interests which abound in our
country, each part of it ought to reflect that it
cannot be gratifiul in all its wants, that other
parts have also their just claims and expecta
tions, aad that the measures of government
should be adapted to the reconcilement of the
apparently conflicting interests. Lake the
Tariff as an example. According tooneopin
' ion held by a respectable portion of our fellow
citizens, there should be the most periect Ifee
dom of trade. According to the opposite opin
ion, restrictions ought to be imposed to such an
extent as to amount to a .solute prohibition. It
is manifest that the exclusive prevalence of
either of those extreme systems of policy, would
be unsatisfactory, as I am sure it would be in
jurious to the country. What then ought to be
done? Can any thing be more reasonable than
to adopt a moderate, middle and stable course
of policy which shall mingle and partake, in
some degree, ot the spirit oi both those opposite
opinions. This desirable object I think will be
accomplished by a Tariff deriving all the reve
nue necessary to the economical administration
ot lhe Government from foreign imports, and so
adjusted, as that by just and wise discrimina
tion to afford reasonable protection to Ameri
can’interests. That great question settled on
the basis which 1 have suggested, ought to con
duce to the harmony, as lam perfectly persua
ded that it would to lhe prosperity, of the whole
country.
Application for Divorce.—Mrs. Mary
Murphy, of Messan county, Ky., recently.ap
plied to the Legislature oi that State, for a di
vorce. This lady’s husband has been confined
in the Lunatic Asylum since 1840, and it was
represented that his ease was incurable. The
mover of the resolut ion stated, that Mrs. Mur
phy was young and beautiful—about 25 years
o f age—had a chance to marry—and wished to
embrace lhe opportunity! The Senat rs, how
ever, did rot deem the reasons sufficient, and re
jected the application, by a vote of 80 to 1—
Mobile Herald.
We can tell a belter story than that, Mr.
Herald, besides, our stogy is strictly true, for
we received it from a worthy citizen of Mobile
—“Metamora cannot lie.” It seems, that du
ring the recent session of the Alabama Legisla
ture, an application fm divotce wasmahe by
some member—; :-ihr.j - mirgallenl milit.itr as
sociate, Capt. 'l'o>:—or, p s-iii.y, Inal clever
gentleman who m.s fe...!yl e<n , lomoted lor
important miltiary service.,, our friend, Adju
tant General Lang—was the author of the prop
osition—on that point, we lack information. A
bill authorizing the divorce, was introduced and
laid upon the table, where it remained many
days. At last, the mover expressed an urgent
desire that the bill should betaken up and pass
ed, inasmuch as the gentleman who had applied
for the divorce, was engaged to be married again,
and the wedding was to take place in less than a
week; and it was all important that the divorce
should be granted before the consummation of
the second nuptials. The Legislature ot Ala
bama, composed of sensible and reasonable
men, immediately passed the bill, and the di
vorced individual, according to contract, was
married again three days afterwards. Ask our
informant if the tale is not perfectly correct.—

Richard Cromwell as a Witness in West
minister Hall.—The second Protector was
called as a witness in a civil call, in Westmin
ister Hall, when he was ninety years of age.
It is said that lhe lawyer of the parties against
whom Richard was' g.ving his depositions,
questioned him in a Very rough manner, and
reproached the old man, with the crimes of his
father Oliver; the Judge rebuked the lawyer,
and ordered a chair to be brought in for the
distinguished witness, which was approved of
by Queen Ann. In leaving Westminister
Hall, Richard had the curiosity to visit the
House of Lords; one of the peers, Lord Ba
thurst, astonished at his presence in that place,
approached him, and asked how long it was
since Mr. Cromwell had visited the Hall before.
“ I have never been in here, my Lord,” replied
Richard, “ since the time I used to sit in that
chair,” and he pointed with his finger to the
throne.
The St. Louis Republican says that a gentle
man residing nea r that city has recently com
menced the manufacture of oil, of fine quality
horn corn. It is said to burn with clear, steady
light, in every respect equal to sperm or lard oil,
without the ’ smoke which usually attends
vegetable oils. It will not congeal in the cold
est weather.
The Cincinnati Gazette says that Ohio is now
the second wool-growieg State in the Union,
and bids fair to become the first.
The Tariff and the Revenue.—The receipts
of Revenue from Customs at this port since
the Ist o*' January last have been as follows:
In 1811. In 1813.
January $1,876,615 $548,(159
February2,l69,llo 192,216
March, io 16th 983,676
Total, 2| m0nth55,5029,401
This sum will undoubtedly be swelled to at
least Five and a Half Millions ot Dollars for
this single port at the close ol the quarter, two
weeks hence ; apd, as the collections at all the
other ports cannot fall far below the amount
realized here, the total Revenue of the United
States f rom Customs only cannot f all below Ten
Millions for the current quarter, or at the rate of
Forty annum. But we do not sup
pose the receipts will be as heavy throughout a.s
in lhe first quarter of the year. They will
probably (if the Tariff is let alone) range from
Thirty.'tvolo Thirty-five Millions, defraying all
the current Expenditures of the Government,
and affording Ten to Fifteen Millions surplus to
be employed in redeeming the remaining
Treasury Notes and about half paying off the
National Debt. f
‘Ah hut.’saysatriumphant Free Trader,‘you
are calculating <’ n heavy imports, in spite ot
your Protective Tariff!’ No, sir, wc ate not.
We are anticipating that our imports ibr lhe
year will range from One Hundred to One Hun
dred and Ten Millions—a fair and sate amount,
which will be overbalanced by our exports,and
allow us to bring back a considerable amount
in specie or (what we greatly prefer) a still
greater amount in our dishonored and deprecia
ted State Bonds.
We appeal, then, to considerate and candid
men of all parties to stand forth in favor of the
policy of ‘letting well alone.’ The present
Tariff, it is demonstrated, does net cut off
Foreign Trade, but steadies and invigorates it.
It do's not diminish the Revenue, but greatly in
creases it, so that our entire National indebted
ness may be paid off in three years at larthest if
it is simply let alone. That it docs not cripple
Industry or diminish the rewards of Production,
let the universality ot Employment and the
abundant strikes for higher wages answer.
Tien why should the Tariff be overthrown?
Can any man imagine ?— From the N. Y. Tri
bune.
The Jews.—Of lhe persecution of the Jews
by the Emperor of Russia, a correspondent of
the London Times, writings om Warsaw, gives
some further account. He says that an Impe
rial ukase has been received in Lithuania
directing the authorities of towns and other lo
calities inhabited by Jews to transport those
unhappy persons, amounting to 36,000 families,
to a distance of twelve leagues from theirseveral
actual places of resitfence. This cruel u..ase
was further to receive its execution before the
18th of January, so that, at a moderate estimate,
150,000 persons of both sexes, and of all ages
and condition, are, in the midst ot all lhe rigors
o( a Lithuanian winter, expelled their houses,
and forced to seek a resting-place in strange
countries, and not merely among strangers, but
among people predisposed to view them as out
casts and objects for extortion, persecution and
violence.
Marriage.—l never knew a marriage ex
pressly for money, that did not end unhappily.
Yet managing mothers and heartless daughters
are continually playingthesame unlucky game.
I believe that men more frequently marry for
love than women, because lhay have a free
choice. lam afraid to conjecture how large
a portion of women marry, because they think
they will have a better chance, and dread being
dependant. Such marriages, no doubt, si rue
times prove tolerably comfortable, but a great
number would have been far happier single.
II I may judge by my observation of such mat
ters, marrying for a home is a tiresome way of
getting a living.— Mrs. Child.
Pointed Sermons.—More than one hundred
years ago there graduated at Harvard University
a man by the name ofßawson, who subsequent
ly settled in the ministry at Yarmouth, on Cape
Cod. He used topreach very pointed sermons.
Having heard that some of his parishioners
were in the habit ot making him the subject of
their mirth at a grog-shop, he one Sabbath
preached a discourse from the text, “And I was
the song of the drunkard ” His remarks were
of a very mining' character, so much so that
many of his hearers rose and left the house in
lhem:d t of he setmoß A shoittimealterwards,
the preacher delivered a discourse still more
pointed than the first, from the text, “And they,
being con vi ted out of their own consciences
went out one by one.” On this occasion no one
ventured to retire !rom the assembly, but the
guilty ones resigne-l themselves with as good
grace as possible, to the lash of their pastor.
Useful Rurhs for sundry sorts of Peo
ple.—ls you are a singer, singa little after the
rest of the singers; because the more there is ofa
good thing, and the longer it lasts, lhe better.
When y-. u steep at meeting, do it without
disguise or concealment —a church is no place
lor hypocrisy; besides, to sleep at your ease on
such occasions shows that your conscience does
not trouble you.
When you are telling a story keep laughing
yourself, and then, by sympathy, the co mpany
will be inclined to do so too. It will be well to
praise the story somewhat before you begin—it
will awaken attention.
When you gape in company do it fairly, and
above board, and do not be so clownish as to
cover your mouth with your hand.
When yi u have done eating your dinner, al
ways pick your teeth with your forb — it is a
prodigious saving ol goose quills.
TheTbxas Question. —A letter from Wash
ington says :—The story is, that when the
Slate Department came into Mr. Nelson’s
hands,-he found there measures ripe fora treaty
of union with Texas, and the Convention ready
drawn. It is further averred that the matter
’ now rests there, for the coming in of Mr. Cal-
■ houn.
The Mail Cases.—The Baltimore Patriot
• says:—“Two of the cases brought against
' JohnC. Gilmer, agent of the American Mail
Letter Company, in the U. S. District Court
of Maryland, tor violating the Post Office law,
by carrying letters on the Philadelphia, Wil
mington and Baltimore Railroad, out of the
1 regular mail, charging for the same, have been
consolidated and judgment confessed, subject
I to lhe slated opinion ol the Court, in order that
the case may be carried to lhe Circuit Court of
' the United Btales for the District of Maryland
’ Ibr final adjustment. Dr. F. Fisher confessed
‘ judgment in l.is case, as also Robert F. Black.
Three cases against Jacob G. Grapd, ofa simi
' lar nature, were discontinued.”
: Cotton Goods to China.—lt is stated that
■ “one house in Boston has shipped 700,000
pieces of cotton goods to China within the last
' vear; and lhe whole amount sent thither from
this country during the same period was two
■ and a half’million pieces.”

THE LAY OF LYNEDOCH.
BY THE TRANSLATOR OF THE HUNGARIAN POEMS.
Death has been very busy, and has carried off one
or two persons of note ; amongst the rest, the gallant
old Lora Lynedoch, at the mature age of 94 Few rneii
have faced death more frequently, tor his military ca
reer extended over the whole peiiod of the French re
volutionary war, including, of course, therise and down
fall of Napoleon ; and yet he did not enter the army un
til upwards of 40 years of age. There is a touch of ro
mance about his private history. Very early in life,
' when plain Thomas Graham, Esq., of Balgowan,
Perthshire,he married a daughter of Lord Cathcait. to
whom he was tenderly attached They lived together
for nearly twenty years, when lhe lady died. The shock
' which this event gave Mr. Graham, was so severe as
' almost to unsettle his reason. His friends and medical
advisers recommended that he should travel, and it was
in consequence of falling into military society al Gi
braltar, that he first formed the idea ot entering the ar
my—a resolution which he soon after carried into effect.
He saw much bard service, repeatedly distinguished
himself in the battles of the Peninsula, was several
times thanked by P .rli i.tent, and was finally raised to
the peerage; ami. then lit y-four years after the death
' of his wile, the f.nigh old loid’s career closed quietly in
his bed.’ : — Alexu-itari i (ff , ;ette, Feb. 10, 1844.

S'ince she was torn away !
And thro’ its ghastly gloom I’ve grop’d ;
One aim alone, 1 knew—
The only happine-s, I’ve hop’d
On Earth— to meet with you!
I sought Thee, on Vimera’s plain-
in Saragossa’s toss
On Tories Vedras rocky chain—
At bloody Badajos.
And oft, in war’s dark, demon chase,
Thv fatal form I saw.
And then, at last, met face to face,
On crimson
But still, before me, thou hast fled,
Denied the boon I ask’d—
That here, upon a dotard’s bed,
To lay me low at

* It has been said with great truth, that the language
of passion—intense, overpowering passion—always ex
presses itself in the dialect of childhood. It has, there
fore, seemed most appropriate, that the scul-absorbing
exclamations of the dying Lynedoch, should be in hr«
native low land Scotch; and is it unnatural, that the
hope and expectation cf anonogeuarian, when going to
the loved one of his youth, should be tUatMtfA a Hutt

combination of the cathartic and restorat ve pro’

in a torpid and costive state by their uae as is
the case with almost every other preparation

are at the same time invigorated and brought In

A certain and ellcetuid cure for Ague auu Fever
also used successfully in the treatment of Bil
ious Fever, Neusca, General Debility, and Ner
vous Weakness.
Os ail tho remedies ever discovered for the safe
certain and effectual cure of the ague and fever,
or chills and fever, none have more merited and
received the approbation of the public than these
pills. Upwards of eighty thousand bo‘ es have
been sold in only six States, within the last 12
months, and over 20,000 boxes ol these have been
sold in the State of Alabama alone. The propri
etors have never known a single instance where
these pills have failed to cure the chillsand fever,
they hge been used strictly according to the di
rections accompanying them. One box of these
pills is, generally, sufficient to cure two common
cases of chills and fever. Judging from these
facts, the proprietors have the most satisfactoiv
reasons for supposing that upwards of 100,0(6
persons have been restored tronr sickness to
health by using thisimportant medicine dthat
too in the brief space of twelve months. Indeed,
no language can describe, no tongue can express,
and no pen can portray the vast amount of sick
ness and suffering which these pills have reliev
ed, and the joy and gratitude of those who have
been restored to health by using them.
Each box contains 20 doses of pills. Price SI

subsequent attack i. bis complaint.

box of these Pills, and a statement of some of
the most prominent symptoms is laid down as a
guide to the patient in distinguishing one form of
