HY i;\PIJI>s MAIL. [from ODtt coiIKESPONBENT.] WASHINGTON, Match 3, 1838. ■ In the Senate to diy Mr. STRANGE, of NC, i finished bis speed) in support of the buh Treasury System ; ami in defence of the whole financial policy of the Administration. This gentleman is rather conspicuous in his parly for scholarship 1 and general information, and possesses powers of reflection and argument, which I regret to see so misapplied as they are in bolstering up the ' “experiments” and newly discovered constitution- I c.l dogmas of Messrs. Wright, Calhoun, & Co.— • The speech was interesting fiom the copiousness and variety of illustration with which Mr. Strange treated his subject, nod the number of classi , eal »nd historical allusions showed a consid erable extent of reading, and an enamoured acquaintance with ancient and modern literature. But tiie honorable Senator is unfortunately bitten with the agrarianism now so fashionable among those who hang on to the skirts of th Admtmul ration : and iso was strong in his denn f elation of all tha banking institutions of the . country, and the whole credit eysiem; and a* - loud in applauding tho exclusive gold and silver ■ policy as the height of human wisdom, as Benton, r Ulair, and the rest of the Loco Foco crew could t desire. The Sub Treasury gcnllemeHjwerc, of , course, delighted. Whenever a man appears r among them who is gifted with any ability of , reply to the arguments, and sneers, and sarcasm I with which they are assailed, they applaud him j with an energy proportionate to the variety of i opinion among themselves of the qualifications he possesses. When Mr. Strange finished, Mr. MERRICK, of Mary land look the floor, and moved an adjourn ment. He will speak on Monday. We are to have a new Sub Treasury Bill, you will have s.en front the letter of yesterday—Mr. Camhrcling having reported a project of the Committe of Ways and Means for collecting, safe keeping, and disbursing the public money,— It is said to be still stronger than that which is under discussion in the Senate 1 Is it not mon strous that the patience of the people should be so long trifled with in Ibis manner, by the bring ing forward of scheme after scheme to which they are known to bo opposed* Cambteling's bill was sent'lo tiro committee of tho whole.— There let it remain ! It will never pass, Tin* miscellaneous proceedings of the House were without interest. During the morning, however, a subject of great importance to the old States was brought up, by the resolution ol Mr. Johnson, of Maryland, proposing an enquiry by a select committee into the propriety of mak ing a more equal distribution of the public lands, for the purposes of education. Mr JOHNSON made an able and interesting speech on the subject, aud brought forward a number of statistical details which show an im perative necessity for some alteration of the course that has been hitherto pursued. At the usual hour the speaker called for the orders of the day—Private bills—but Mr Cam brcling induced a sufficient number to “toe the mark” —neglect the poor private claimants —and give the day to the appropriation Bills, The Bill making appropriations for the pays | merit of pensions was then taken up; and after -a short discussion was passed. Both Houses adjourned early, The excitement in regard to the late unfor : lunate duel is rapidly abating. Tho investiga ! lion into the causes and circumstances is going nn in the select committee appointed for the ' purpose. M. ’’’'commercial.'.”’’ AUGUSTA MARKET.
