A friend'has kindly furnished us with the Re port of the Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb, at Hartford Connecticut, which we have perused ■with the most thrilling interest. It must be a •source of the most heart felt joy to every bosom that heals wifa a smfle feeling of sympathy for , t he misfortune of such human beings as are de prived of the pleasure of hearing and speaking, to .read in this Report the progress whirfls is made in (imparling instruction to them and thus adminis tering to live happiness of those whom the dispen sations of Providence or the ravages ol disease may have thus deeply afflicted. But the most anieresling part of tins' report is that which details the history of Julia Brace a girl wheat the age ufs •or 6 years v>cs deprived by extreme and protract ed sickness, at once of tight, speech, uml hearing She is deaf,dumb, and blind, ami has been so fi r mear twenty five years., and the reader will be astonished *.l the extent So which instruction has been imparted to her, and at her capacity for do ling many things which one would suppose hn utterly incapable of doing in consequence ot Iter distressing afflictions.

H.urrniiißF., Sec'y [nto.lt OUU COtIIIESCONIIENT.] WASHINGTON, Match C, 1838. In the House of Representatives, as soon as ! the journal was read, Mr. ADAMS rose and begged leave to present a petition from citizens of Newark, in Now Jersey, praying that Con. I gross would investigate the circumstances of the ; late duel. Objection being made, Mr. A. moved the suspension of llto rulo, and asked the yeas and nays, which being ordered, the motion, re qniring a vote of two thirds, prevailed, yeas 103, nays 13. A similar memorial from other citizens ol the same place was presented by Mr. Fairtield; the rule having been suspended on his motion, both memorials were refered to the select committee on that subject. When the committee on Foreign Aflairs was called in order, Mr HOWARD asked and obtain ' ed leave to take up and consider the amendments of the Senate to the bill for the preservation of neutral relations. Mr. HOWARD said that the number of these amendments were six; and were as follows: 1. To limit the operation of the first section, •to arms and munitions of war,’ in.-tead of the means and materials provided for a military er-’ pedilion.’ 3. To limit the section ! i>so to ‘conterminous countries’ with whom tho United States are at peace. 3. To make the seizing officer apply fora wairaal within 'teh days.’ 4. To authorize tnc President to send a Judge, &c. to the district where ‘this act’ as well as the ‘act hereby amended,' is likely to he, violated. 5. To limit the duration of the act to ‘two years.’ G. To strike out the proviso which permits all trade recognized by ‘trealwa or the laws of na tions’ and to substitute otic which penults trade in munitions of war in ‘vessels by sea.’ If the Senate’s amendment had been concurrd in, all tradepby land’ with conterminous countries, in arms and munitions of wa'r, Would have been forbidden. The first, second, third and fourth were >.grccd to without a division. The fifth was also agreed to after some debate; and the House refused to concur in tbe sixth. The general appropriation bill was then taken up and occupied the remainder of the day. In the Senate Mr. SMITH of Indiana, prc u senlcd a joint resolution of the general assembly of the Slate of Indiana, iiisliucling ber Senatois and requesting her Representatives to use their best endeavors to procuio the passage ol the law providing that tho notes of all the Citato banks that may redeem their notes in specie on de mand, shall he received in payment for the pub lic land. On motion of Mr. S. the resolution was laid t on the table and, ordered to be printed. Mr. CLAYTON from tho committee on tbe Judiciaty reported the bill referred to them to prevent the giving or accepting cf challenges to duels in the District of Columbia, with amend ments, the principal one Os which was the sub stituting lor the penally of death, from leu to twenty years confinement in the peniten iary. The amendments were read, and the bill was made the special order for Monday next. The Senate resumed the consideration of the sub treasury bill, and the subsli ule for it, offered by Mr. Rives. Mr. NORVAI, spoke two hours in favor of ■ lie bill; no other Senatoi rising lo speak on the tho question. Mr Tallmadge remarked that sev eral Senators were at present absent, he there fore moved lo postpone the bill till to morrow morning, with the understanding that the vote gliould then bo taken on Mr Rive’s substitute. Mr WRIGHT would consent lo the delay, but preferred that tho bill should be passed im mediately, that it might not loose its place in point of precedence. Mr BUCHANAN then arose, #nd said that ho had been waiting for some time for an occa. sion on which it would be proper for him, in oboidence lo tho instructions he had received, from the legislature of Pennsylvania, to move to postpone this bill to the next session of con gress. Mr B’s eolleage, Mr McKean, had told him that he thought the period for ibis motion had arrived soveral days ago. Mr B. therefore, now moved that this bill bo postponed till the next session of congress, with the understanding that the vote should he taken on this question to morrow morning, prior to the vote on Mr. Rives’ suhstitue; and Mr B. called foj the yeas and nays on this motion which were ordered. The bill was then informally passed over. The bll to maintain our neutrality on tlio frontier was received from the House, taken up by tho Senate, and on accounnt of the supposed importance of the Senate’s amendment, in which the House had non concurred (the amendment excluding the Irontier continuous trade from an apj't-a 1 la treaties and the law of nations,) the bill was, for the present, laid an the table. Mr BUCHANNAN staled that bo had con sulted the committee on Finance in relation to the amendment of the Senate, non coucutted in by the House, to the hill to maintain our fron tier neutrality; and they had expressed their opinion that the Senate ought to insist ou their amendment on account of their importance.— He, thereloro. moved that Iho hill lie taken up, that the Senate do so insist, and appoint on their part a committee of conference, in case the House should insist on its non concurrence. Those motions were severally and successively agreed to. The Senate adjourned after an executive ses sion. M. WASHINGTON, March 7. In the Senate, Mr. McKean presented the me morial and resolutions of a democratic meeting of the citizens of Philadelphia, remonstrating against the Sob-Treasury Scheme. Mr. McKean asked she 'reading. Mr. KiNG, objected to the reception of the document, us he observed, that it was a mere newspaper report, and was consequently unwor thy the notice of the Senate. Mr. McKEAN replied, that though taken from a newspaper, it was uu official report of the proceedings of the meeting, and was signed by the officers thereof. Mr. KING contended that the Senate had I mg been 100 liberal in this respect. Such reception was a breach of the rules, which should be enfor ced. Mr. PRESTON contended that the Senate could not reject the memorial, it was presented in due manner and farm. The resolution had in structed the Chairman to present die proceedings to the delegation in Congress: which ho had heteby complied with under his autograph signa ture, thereby vouching lot the correctness of the publication in tbo printed copy, ajul not choosing to furnish a written copy. Mr. BUCHANAN advocated the reception. Mr. KING 'withdrew his objection and the memorial was read and ordered to be printed. Mr. TALLMADGE pi’esented a memorial of 8,5(33 legal voters of the city of New York; pros testing kgfeinot the Sub-Treasury Scheme. Mr. TALLMADGE, observed that the num ber of signers, though very huge, had been sub scribed within a verb few days, and would have been vastly augmented, but from the hasty man ner in which ihe thing had been brought to a close, arising from some new alarm that the dan ger of the lull passing both Houses of Congress had been suddenly increased. The people, he said, were in a stale of absolute frenzy. Thousands and thousands of industri ous inhabitants had been thrown out of employ. Tbo stores vacated, and despair mat ked the countenances of the whole popula tion. New York, he said, Ovb'ich in former 1 times, had paid three fifths of the revenue was now in a slate to pay nothing, and if the present course of things was allowed to proceed much longer, Congress would bo compelled to author ize a loan of hlieen millions sot the support ol 1 the Government. The subject was discussed at great length by Messrs. Webaiet, Tallmadge and Wright, when the memorial was ordered lobe printed. A joint resolution from the House authorising the taknig down the walls as the old Post dike. It was 'read a third time and passed. The motion of Mr. BUCHANAN to postpone till the next session, the fulher consideration of the fcsub Treasury bill, being in order; after a few remarks from Messrs, Calhoun, Preston, and Motris, the question was taken and resulted as follows: Y'EAS —Messrs. Bayard, Buchanan, Clay of Ky., Clay tun, Crittenden, Davis, Grundy Knight, McKean. Merrick, Prentiss, Preston, Hives, Bob bins, Kugglcs, Smith, of lad., Southard, Spencer, Swift, Tallmadge, Tipton, Webster, and While —B3. NAY’S—Messrs.

The question then recurring on Mr. ffives’, proposition, Mr Preston offered an amendment thereto, when a discussion arose, which continued without taking further question, till the Senate 1 adjourned. J . . 1 Mr PRESTON’S amendment is in substance ( that no banks shall be employed as depositories i of the Government whose slock is not owned 10 i whole or in part by the States. The House of Representatives and the Senate , having dilfeted in regard to an amendment to the i Neutrality bill which prohibits the conterminous 1 trade in arms and munitions of war, appointed ’ committees of conference to settle the matter in J dispute. | The general Appropriation Bill was again 1 taken up in < lommiltc of the Whole, and discus- I sod item by item. The Committee rose early ' and reported to the House without coming to . any descision upon any of the provisions of the | Dill. M. i From the Frontier. 1 j From (Ac Buffalo Com. Ado.

Glh iust. Extract from the Report of the Directors of the American Asylum, at Hartford, Gl, May, 183/'. Some account of Julia Brace, a deaf, dumb and blind-person residing in the American Asylum. Un mo I2th of June 1825, Julik Brace was admit.ed as.an animate, and so tar as tier peculiar circumstanced would permit,ns a pu pil, of the Asylum. She was bum in Hart ford on ilie ISIII of June 1807 ; consequent ly, vVifa eighteen years ot age at the nine ol her admission and is now (April 1807} almost thirty. At Die age ol four yedts and about Jive nibiithe, while visiting u relative in a neighbouring town, siie was seized with the typlius fever, winch, in the course of toe fir-t week of her illness, entirely deprived her of the senses of sight anti hearing I Previous to tins sickness, sue hud been Healthy, enjoyed the perfect use of ail the senses, was posses sed of common intellectual, os well as physi cal powers, had u quick temper, but was on the whole a promising child. She was active in her habits, had been sent to school, and could read and spell words of two syllables. She bad begun lo be somewhat useful to her rllOther in her household Affairs and had learnt to do plain sewing, so I hut she had assisted in making a little garment or two (or herself Her mother had taught her “ to say her pray ers” and she had learned, probab y from ne cessary 'intercourse with a profane person, lo ftse some very exceptionable words The sickness winch rendered her so deso late, was exceedingly severe and after accom plishing Us f'earlwl work upon her senses, left her system so po mplelely prostrate, that n. was long doubtful whether she would eVer be re stored to comfortable general health. Hic re amed however for a considerable time, the faculty of spceclt and shortly after her long night came upon her, said to her attendant, “Why don’t you light a lamp? ft will never be day.” Bite used also lo say her j myers after she became deaf and blind, to utter the na i.es of her friends, to ask for what she wan ted, to spell little words to herself, and at tunes. whan disappointed, or vexed by her wishes not being complied with, by the tmpossibiliiy <jf Risking hero ell' undersiuod, or by the uns kind treatment of a mule member ot the fa mily, (id winch she was occasionally subject.) , she wouli use profane expressions, such ns she bad no doubt heard from tins unhappy per son. Her childish spirit evidently at tins pe riod, wandered about Us prison-house in rest lessness, anxiety and sometimes in agony;, seeking deliverance, striving lor communion wilh kindred minds, and using all the fami lies and senses which remained at its com mand, lo make known its condition, and sup ply itself with occupation and amusement, ii. making t mse efforts, the poor ch id very na turally used such language as sou had been familiar with ; often propably, Wnii very im pmect ideas ot its meaning; for, judging from ilie cases of oilier children of that tender age, especially such as have enjoyed but ind Herein instruction, we cannot suppose that this poor child had distinct ideas of the God she ad. dressed in prayer, and whose name she used in other ways, or, ot the full meaning of any other Ilian the simplest language. As her strength increased and ehe became able to stand, and with the aid of others to walk about the house, her means of enjoy ment increased also. She bad much pieas uic in cxaimmng by the senses of feeling and smell the various objects around her, she soon became familiar witn every article ol her own apparel and indeed wnh every thing be longing lo the family, and while her parents lived in the same house with another family, has often been known to carry back to their owner such utensils or other ariicles as li«d been borrowed or lent, often to the amuse ment and sometimes io the inconvenience ot both parlies. She e«;ly evinced great love of order, never allowing any thing to be out of place, it she could prevent it. Sim also as she grew older, seemed desirous ofoccup - ing herseif m the care of her brothers and sisters, of whom she had several all younger than herself: would sometimes wash tncir fa ces and hands, would undress and put them to bed, occasionally exercise gome discipline among them, would rock the infant in the cradle and fee! of it* eye* td ascertain if it were sleeping, and if she found it crying would sometimes give it sugar. Whether sue had learnt by experience trial Her mother, | on whose labour the family were principally dependent for support, was generally bdsy, and that she might aid ber by there efforts among the younger children, or whether she made them merely for her own amusement, it is difficult to determine; probably both motive* influenced her. Alter tier complete recovery uml during all the time ot Iter growing up, she waa favoured wall perhaps more uniform health tiinii is uonimoti; which has continued to the present tints. She \vus genera ly obedient to her mo. liter, or the woman, whoever she might be, that had the care of her; and vv.ta ready to comply w illt the wishes of any one in whom bhe had confidence; hi)l was t cautions in re. gard to strangers and particularly fearful ot men, shrinking trout them mid appearing dis. lurhed, if aware ot their presence. J uha was not unusually loud of sloop in her childhood and youth, hilt evinced at times a disposition to change night into day, evidently preferring to rest white others .were busy around,hur (Mid to be active while iliey were still. As darkness and light were the same to her, it is not wonderful that, she short <1 choose the must quiet portion of the twenty, (our hours in winch to accomplish her own ‘purposes either ot business or pleasure; for being solitary m almost all her enjoyments, she was particularly displeased with interrupt tun in their pursuit. Her mutiier naturally granted her every in. diligence in Her power; still, as her means were limited, her supplies, though sufficient for comfort, were not abundant. Hence, poor Julia learned to allaeli a oigli value to whalev. er she thought her own, was unwearied in the care ot it mid resented the interference of oilu rs. In regard however, to the ma. king of her clothing and to those things about winch she needed assistance, she was perfectly compliant with the wishes of oihers- Her notions respecting the right of property seem to Imve been per leetly correct. Sue would never take Hit! property of others without leave, and it her own was taken, or disturbed in her view improperly, she shewed her displeasure and seemed greatly afflicted. Calm evinced no tear of sickness, bin. was very kind when members of the family were sick; would shew by her manner that she felt sorry lor them, would smooth down the bed clothes, put her hands gently upon their faces, and sometimes spread the little table and bring n to the bed side with a cup or two upon it to contain drinks. This was of course done in inula* lion of what she hail experienced from oihers or had known done by them'. Julia's most unfortunate situation, rendered lier an object of curiosity to the benevolent, by wlibin die was constantly visited, and by whoae benelaclioiisehe was in a groat mea sure supported. Still, though pieces of mun • 'ey and other things of value were often pul into her hands by strangers, it is remarkable I that she never seemed disposed, in tlie first t instance, to consider them us gills; but would ( uniformly return h mi, unless assured by signs 1 she could not misunderstand, that they were ! for her to keep. Her apparent destitution of covet msness and aciual delicacy of feeling on 1 this subject, have often attracted admiration. 1 Her peculiar 'circumstances, bad (rom the I beginning, culled forth I lie compassionate • regard and the requisite pecuniary assistance • from charitable ladies and others, in whose 1 neighbourhood she hied. Sue hud at times : beinl sent to ulin to eciiool (orchildren, where she had learnt to knit; she hud been enabled to retain her ability to sew by proper care on the pail of her friends, and on the whole, as alio advanced m age, had an increasing amount ol resources lor comfort and happis ness,during her dark and silent journey of hie. Su l n was evidently a dictate ol humanity, that a horne/or Ufa should be provided lor her where all her wants might lie timely supplied ail'd her means ol happiness, if possible, in creased. Willi ibis view, the Directors ol the Asylum received her under tbeir cure, as has been slated, when she was eighteen tears o( age. iSlie has now been about < velvet years an inmate of the Asylum, and toe kind in enlions ot Iter bene.acliii'a have been fully realized. Here, a e soon cuntor* med to ihe rules of the mstilutioii, and has been most exemplary in the observance ol hucii, as applied to her case. For instance, she has been an example of punctuality in her attention to such little duties as were assigned her, has been orderly.in her habits, ami lias learned to be very neat; has regarded the righto of others, and has attended, m the best way she could, to her own. M jch of this is owing indeed to the judicious .treatment of those who received her here, and led her to tli« formation of good habiis, and as habits tn her case at least, are second nainre, she has fetamed item utid finds her happiness in their observance. It was an object of muck interest with the Principal And Instructors of the Asylum, on her admission, to iry the effect ofsome | rnnents in teaching her language. They in* dulged the hope tjjal ultimately they might ■levise sonic plan to communicate even some abstract ideas, and especially, moral and roll- 1 gmus truth. Accordingly, by means of an • uphill cl carved in wood, ond resembling that t used in schools for the blind, she was taught < to undcisland axtd to form m her own way the ' 1 iteri composing a low snnp'e words. For 1 example, the was furnished with a cushion ‘ and a supply of pins; the teacher then placed H in her hand the tiling whose name he propo- | sed to leach; then, directed her hand to the carved letters composing its name; then, by \ sticking tbo pins upon the cushion, be forrticd I the respective letters and the word. This she n was encouraged to do, until, when the thing o was presented to her, or its sign made in her " hand, (for instance, a key, ortho deaftinulo’s ' sign for a key,) she would, without assisiance, lorrn the JatlerS k, c, y. In this way, several I short and easy words were taught; but the experiment soon became uninteresting to I her, (it was of course very tedious ami la bormus to her teacher,) and,as there seemed || no probability of any important result for her n benefit, the attempt was abandoned. 1 Much greater success has atlendcd the at- J, tempt to teach her the language of the Asy lum; or rather, such ofthe conversational signs * of the deal and dumb, as arc necessary to con - v vcy ideas on common subjects; indeed, with 1 the exception of abstract ideas, on all the as- e fairs of common life. For instance, the Prin- ’ cipal of the institution wore spectacles, and t was the only person of the house who did so. « lie had long been distinguished among the I deaf and dumb, by the sign fop spectacles, • made with one or both hands upon the eyes. \ After feeling of his spectacles herself, and Jj having the sign made for them a few times a b> others, she readily learned to understand and use ibis sign as appropiiate to Mr. Gal- “ laudet alone. In a similar manner, the signs or names, distinguishing other individals, c were laugh'; as also those for the objects around her, which it was most important for her to know. A person by taken her hands in his-own, and making signs with them, or by permitting her to feel his hands and arms When in the act of signing, could readilv ~ - * ■ v n# communicate with her, on the very simple subjecu wnh which she was most conversant. Ihw is still the method of talking- with her, and imperfect as it may seem to a stranger, ii yetsulhcic.it, m the hands of one at alf skiU tdin the use of signs, Really to promote her happmess. ft restores her in/, jmpor that degree to society, she is sent for an article of dress, (or her scissors, thimble, or any thing ot her own. with entire ease and with as much certainty that she understands what is wanted and will procure it, as could be had in the case ot almost any other person. If noe whom she knows is sick, she is informed of it; or if a death occurs, she makes the si. as or weeping f.,r being perhaps t burying, and is desirous of going to ice ts corpse. If permitted, she examine* the g ,ve chai.es, feels the face and hands o. the doad hody with great delicacy and carefulness, makes the sign fur being dead; says the riemls are sorry etc. «,iU vve do nofknow what her tdeaa of death arc. She cannot fail j o know that a great change Inis passed upon | the body, and that soon after, ilia carried j : *' VH - V; bntjfarther than,this, all probably mys terious. Several deaths have occurred i,‘i ■■ Asylum since her residence here,all of-, have been deeply Interesting to Julia. Tin; . 1 . s ' lc undoubtedly obtained h* oiir ginal ideas, whatever they were, of so great a change; tor when, after a earnest examination, she satisfied herself that the body was incapa de ol motion, end had ceased to breathe, she a emed filled,, with horror. In succeeding instances she has been less deeply affected, though the impression in each, has keen agl titling and distressing in a considerable degree. She is disposed lo make signs about the event, whde it is recent, to herself sometimes, and to others, whenever it is alluded to. On the Sabbath, Julia dresses hcrsclfin her cM clothing, and taking 1 her rocking chair, bttans the observance of* the day, by ahstaiir mg horn all her ciisto.marv employments. She never fails to know when the sabbath returns, nor to keep it throughout, negatively at least, in the strictest manner. This, so far as we know, is simply the result ofhabit, and in im- Ualion of the example of those around her.
