Mr. Stockton presented the petition of Capt. Charles Wilkes, asking an appropriation of halt a million of dollars for an expedition to explore the Arctio Seas and search for Sir John Franklin. Referred. Mr.

Cikmkhs presented the joint resolution ol the legislature of Alabama in favor of an agricul tural bureau at Washington. A large number of petitions were presented. Mr. Huntkh reported a bill from the Committee on Publie Buildings for the repair of the Congressional Library room, lately destroyed by Mr. Botlbb reported bills for the increase ol the salary of the district judge of Florida, and bill for the increase of the salary of the district judge of New Hampshire.

Mr. Shields introduced a bill making land to the several States of the Union for the relief of the indigent insane and it was referred to a select committee of five Senators. The bill providing for the appointment of superintendent of Indian affairs in California was passed. The bill granting land to Iowa for railroad purposes wae taken up, and Mr. Felch resumed hib remarks.

or large number ef executive communications were laid before the Houso. The bill to extend to Messrs. Moore and Hascall, for fourteen years, their patent for cutting and gathering grain, was passed. The bill for the encouragement of agriculture, commerce, and manufactures, and all other branches of industry, by giving to every man or woman a quarter section of land, on condition of occupying and cultivating the same, waamad? the special order of the day for the first Tuesday in March, and so continued until it shall be disposed of. The bill to regulate the publication of the law? of the United States and the public advertisements was debated; and pending a motion to lay the bill on the table, The House went into a Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, and resumed the consideration of the bills in relation to bounty land Ipceeh-Rcviilng The practice of revising speeches which are Bade by Senators and Representatives excited some discussion last week in the Senate ChamberMr.

Hale, of New Hampshire, being the leader of the movement for reform. He stated that Senators were in the habit of inserting in the published speeches matter that was not spoken, and sometimes keeping back what was spoken. So far as the mere habit of correcting reporters notes is concerned, it is nothing more than proper that this should be done. The speakers are often misunderstood or misinterpreted; a word may be loet to the ear, which would alter the entire meaning of the expression and, in the excitement of delivery, an idea, intended to be forcibly conveyed to the mind of the reader, may require a more fall delineation. These are licenses which justice would permit to every public speaker.

Their real sentiments should be understood by the oountry, and, to be understood, must be forcibly, dearly, and fully enunciated. It may also occur to members of Congress that there are some speeches which could hardly appear well in print, nnless the stylus were first applied, and probably some that it were better never to print at all. It is to be presumed that no gentleman occupying a seat in either branch of the National Legislature oan be afraid to print what he has the courage to speak. If there be such a one, the American Congress is no fit place for him, and the sooner he retires from it the better for his constituency, and the country. Freedom of speech and the freedom of the press arc thfefreat elements of our liberty.

Both may be abused and corrupted; but their benefits and blessings so far overbalance the evils arrising from them, that we can never submit to their restriction. A Good A little girl, the daughter of a gentleman with whom we are acquainted, was sent a few days to a neighboring house for a garment that ted been left there by her mother. The two wer? within view of each other, a common intervening. On entering the garden of the houso to which she had been sent, she was attacked by three dogs, and thrown down; her clothes were torn, and one of the animals seiied her by the foot At her own home there was a big, good-natured dog, who had never before any other positive qualities than a food appetite. But he seemed to have apprehended the danger the child was approaching; hie eyes had followed her, and, with the first intimation of the attack, he bounded forward, reached the soene of action in time to rescue the child, and sent her assailants howling.

As she entered the house, he forced his way in beslde her; and when the lady attempted to hand fcer the article for which she had been sent, he jprawg between them; and in no other way could the child procure it than by taking it up from where it had been laid after the family had left the room. When she departed, the dog took his position between her and all possible assailants and as she emerged from the premises, he took hie plaee behind her, and followed slowly, and with a defiant air, until she had regained her own home, when he threw himself down at the threehold, with his face toward the theatre of his hie exploit, and relapsed into his accustomed tvrerie. The money of the Northern Liberties Building Association last evening sold for 40 per omt. premium. WashingtonDuring the of M.

Kossuth's residence among us, a lady whose husband derives his support, and hers, from an office under the I mted States government, happened iu a store on thu Avenue, when a conversation arose as to the merits of the illustrious Hungarian. He is as great as Washington!" exclaimed one of the company. As great!" repeated this lady?" as great! he is greater than ever Washington was!" uud her pretty little foot came down upon the floor with an emphasis that fully attested her sincerity. and Washington" we have writteu, and shall thus, perhaps, meet the approval ot many who think with our pretty little quasi acquaintance. I M.

Kossuth some time since gave us an insight into the intentions of Washington, which appears not to have been so happily expressed in his writings as some of our most estimable and philanthropic fellow-citizens, now-a-days, think they should have been. This service we wore inclined to appreciate as kind and profitable, until an American gentleman, (Mr. Alexander Hamilton,) concurring in M. Kossuth's views on intervention, but feeling that he could not succeed in enforcing his construction of the writings of Washington upon the minds of our countrymen, came to his relief, and offered testimony to the fact that "the famous proclamation tj neutrality issued by Washington, with the farewell address, and most of Washington's important oapers," were written by Alexauder Hamilton, his father, whose confidential correspondence, he further says, "will prove the fact of authorship." This revelation is contained in a letter recently published by Mr. Hamilton, and which he says lie addressed some time since to Kossuth.

In this he says that "the time has come when certain developments must be made publio. We think with him that it is high time, if his present intimations are correct. It is well for Washington and his country, however, that there is abundant direot proof of the paternity of most of the writings attributed to his pen; and where this does not exist, the predominance of his master mind md the light of his glorious spirit are almost as infallibly revealed. The Albany Register," in noticing the letter of the present Mr. Hamilton, remarks That Washington was in the habit of consulting his most intimate friends, Hamilton among the rest, in regard to the composition of his important state papers, has never been denied, adopting or rejecting their suggestions, as to phraseology or sentiment, as seemed to him expedient.

But that the documents referred to are his own, in all substantial particulars, not only as to their ideas but even style, we have an undoubting laith. And so have we. Still, let the "certain developments" be made public; for we cannot but believe that the unhorsing the hero who has heretofore been honored as an American patriot and -lage, if it can be accomplished, will prove a more simple and feasible means of establishing the new doctrines in this republic than by engrafting them upon any declarations known to have proceeded from him who has been in past times regarded as the Father of his Country. Justice In the Navy. The eloquent speech of Senator Stockton against the brutal exercise of petty power in the navy, remarks the Trenton "True American," lias deeply impressed the mind of the country with the necessity of reform.

The abolition of the flogging process is but the beginning of the needed reformation. The whole practice of condemning men without a hearing, without trial, evidence, or notice of complaint, seems monstrous. Upon land there is nothing like it, among civilized or barbarous nations; and why justice, either in form or spirit, should be excluded from the deck of a national ship, we are at a loss to imagine. The first editorial approbatory of the flogging system that we have met with is contained in the Norfolk Beacon" of the 28th ult. We have heard the propriety of the marriage of mutes questioned, on the ground that their defects likely to be transmitted to their offspring.

The Rev. J. D. Tyler, Principal of the Deaf Mute Department of the Virginia Institution, states, in hiB last interesting report, that our own country is the only one in which this question has approached solution. Two hundred educated deaf mutes assembled in Hartford, Sept.

1860. Of these, 103 were married, some quite recently. Seventy-two were parents, the parents of 102 children, ninety-eight of whom can hear and speak. Instances are given of parents, both deaf from birth, having children able to hear and speak. "Women of We are thankful to Messrs.

Taylor Maury for a pretty 12mo. volume entitled Women of Christianity Exemplary for Acts of Piety and Charity." It is by Julia Kavakaoh, author of "Woman in France," "Nathalie," "Madeleine," and recently published by Appleton New York. The very foundation of our faith rests on an act of self-immolation," remarks the author; and to prove that woman has been faithful to this duty, and that her influence, throughout all Christian history, has been of salutary and blessed tendency, appears to be the purpose of the gifted author. Vote Tonriclf Salary. In former times, says a contemporary, members of the New York City Council received no pecuniary compensation for their services, but were in the habit of having costly suppers at the public expense.

It was found that there was no saving in this mode of proceeding, and four dollars per day were voted to members, abolishing what was called the tea-drinking. Recently, members have restored this practice, so that they not only receive their per diem of four dollars, but have their expensive suppers also at the public cost. The Temperance Question. The friends of temperance in the city and State of New York will, it is thought, organise for concerted political action. Their influence, thrown on either side, will determine an election.

In the city they are said to have six thousand votesmore than the colored voters have in the State. The liquor-dealers are said to be well organized in opposition to them. The number of places at which liquor is sold in that city is reported to be and tuck with the temperance Toters, if the former pull together also. Murder and Lynching. We learn by the New Orleans papers that John A.

Watkins, a planter of De Soto oounty, was murdered last week by his slaves, who were arrested, and confessed the murder. They were immediately executed by the mob. Religious Freedom. The Family Presbyterian," published at New Berlin, Pennsylvania, quotes, as it tells us, from Jthe Shepherd of tbe Valley," a Roman Catholic paper published at St. Louis, the following extracts If the Catholics ever they surely will do, though at a distant immense numerical superiority, religious freedom in this country is at an end.

So say our enemies. So we believe. We have said that wo are not the advocate of religious freedom and we repeat it, we are not. The liberty to believe contrary to the teachings of the Church, is the liberty to believe a lie; the liberty to think otherwise than as she permits, is the liberty to abuse the mind and pollute the imagination; from such liberty may we and those we love at all times be preserved." Is there not some mistake about this? We hope so. The Forrest Divorce Cau, "If," suys the Lockport "Courier," "editors and publishers of newspapers are so unmindful of the proprieties of no respect to the virtuous sentiments of community, and fill their columns with such revolting and demoralizing matter as is contained in the developments of the Forrest is time that our legislature should take the subject in hand, and enact such laws ns will prevent a like exhibition of the dark side of humanity in future." Mri.

Forrest. It is announced that this lady desires to earn her living on the stage, and will appropriate charitable purposes the three thousand dollars year alimony allowed her. If she makes a palpable hit, this will be good policy; and if she does not, why, she can still fall back on this alimony. All right! Religious Toleration. Hon.

J. P. Benjamin, the newly-elected Senator from Louisiana, is a Jew, as well as a man of ability and character. In England it is a matter of embittered dispute whether belief in the Jewish religion ought not wholly to disqualify a man to be a legislator. The world will right with the flood-tide! C.

Blruey. The death of this gentleman, says the Philadelphia Ledger," is doubted by his friends. He is said to have been alive and well on the 29th in Cincinnati, Ohio. Public Schools. In the State of New Jersey there are 612 public schools, having an aggregate of 86,810 scholars, and an annual appropriation of $250,859 51 for the support of the same.

Mew Paper. We received yesterday the first number of a spirited little paper, the Evening Picayune," published in Baltimore by a company of practical printers. Success to them. Treason. At the anti-slavery convention held in Boston, the Rev.

Daniel Foster said, he hoped every fugitive would arm himself to shoot any person who attempted his arrest, oflicer or not. By Telegraph. The passengers of the Flora McDonald were yesterday relieved by the steamers Mary Washington and Cambridge. Lola Monies. learn that Lola Montes will commcnce her engagement at the National Theatre on Monday next.

War We tender our thanks to Joseph C. G. Kennedy, Superintendent of the Census, for a volume containing the Ilutory and Statin tic a oj the State of Maryland, fresh from the press oi Gideon Co. It has been prepared with the view of submitting to Congress an embodiment of views suggestive of the manner in which the Census returns should he prepared, to render them of the greatest utility. The cursory examination we have been enabled to give it has impressed upon our mind a conviction of the desirableness of this plan.

In a quarto volume of ninety-six pages we have the most comprehensive and satisfactory view' of a State we have ever seen compressed into bo brief a space. It is creditable to all persons connected with its production. Pair Gen. Houston has always been considered a I fine-looking man; but he has been very slow in taking to tho habiliments of the pale-faces. The process has been gradually going on, from the feet upward, ever since he began to make his periodic incursions into the white settlements.

The first tilings he exchanged were his moccasins for boots; next his leggings for pants; then his hunting-shirt for a coat; then his buffalo robe for. a cloak but it was not until this winter that he could bring himself to the adoption of a real out-and-out fashionable chapeau. He now looks every inch a in point of fact, as Cousin Phoenix would say, only needs a nomination and a little voting to make him one. The Norfolk Daily News" complains of the currency they there have to use in business, and says: "We are flooded with notes of all kinds and all denominations, purporting to be issued in towns and villagos from Maine to Georgia, the District of Columbia alone furnishing seven or eight varieties of rag money." Jteiy Capt. Goddard had eight or nine lodgers at the watch-house last night.

Four were sent to the farm, (work-house,) for winter quarters; and one, a negro boy, sent to jail, charged with stealing a pair of boots. An attempt was made in the Delaware legislature last week to pass an amendment to the law on taverns, making it punishable with fine and imprisonment to sell intoxicating liquor on Sunday. The attempt failed. HaT We learn that the Committee on the Dis-1 trict have determined to report in favor of the extension of the west wing of the Patent Office, and also to recommend the appropriation of for the purpose. A large State Temperance Convention was held at Concord, N.

on the 30th ult, at which it was resolved to support no man who was not in favor of prohibiting the sale of intoxicating drinks. The Rhode Island Democratic State Convention, on the 80th adopted a resolution declaring Lewis Cass and Wm. O. Bntler the choice of the State for President and Vice President. tfST The navigation, we learn from the Baltimore "American," on the Patapsoo river and tbe bay, is now open.

The boats have commenced running to and from the city. "Spirit of Jefferson," at Chester town, has our thanks for its friendly notice. Scnatw He He of MUiiulppl. This gentleman, who has been indilposed for some days, was yesterday overtaken with vertigo or fainting, and full upon the floor of his apartment, bruisiug his head very considerably. He suffers to-day -both from his previous debility aud this unfortunate mishap, though no serious apprehensions exist.

We record this occurrence with sincere regret. No gentleman has ever, in a brief residence in our city, so elfeotually won the respect and affection of our community, and those, who dwell amongst us. The Murder Trial. Philip R. Fkndall, the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, had at one o'clock been addressing the jury in this case for the space of two hours and a quarter, in one of the most masterly efforts ever witnessed in the courts of this city.

The jury is a good one; the prisoner has been ably defended, and justice, we are sure, will be rendered to him. P. have just learned, and stop the press to announce, that the Jury has brought the unfortunate man Wills in guilty of murder in the first degree Parodl To-Niglit! We would remind the public that this delightfid vocalist and her accomplished assistants give their second and last concert in Washington tonight, and will doubtless be again rapturously welcomed and applauded by all lovers of refined and exquisite melody. Forrest. This lady made her debut on the stage, in New York, on Monday succeeded! Fortune is now before her: fame she has already.

Theatrical. To the Editors of the American Telegraph: I think, Messrs. Editors, that you hold private opinions which you are not always required publicly to express concerning theatrical entertainments yet, as a journalist, you usually call attention to the bills offered at the National, and speak good-naturedly, though briefly, of the performances. One does not look in the newspapers for any other than laudatory notices of every "star" that appears; and the delighted portion of the audience designated by Hamlet as the general," (of whom, by the way, his opinion was not flattering,) would scarce Brooke a notice of the recent performances which hinted that Macbeth and were both "murdered" by their favorite or that Othello, being wrought," was rather a repulsive individual. No, sir; there are those who would rebel at such insinuations; and if nothing commendatory can be said, it is best to whistle the subject off, and let it "down the wind as easily as possible.

It was the writer's intention, however, to say something in commendation of the entertainments offered to the play-goers by Mr. Marshall. The performances at the National have been usually highly creditable, and the style in which the pieces have been produced evinces good taste all the stage appointments. It would be a pleasure to speak of several of the stock company as their merits deserve; but it will not be deemed invidious to mention, particularly, Miss Heron, whose recent personation of Ophelia was so much admired. Since the opening of the National with the Hunchback," she has appeared as Pauline in the Lady of Lyons," and in several other characters, in which her readings as well as actions proclaimed her an actress of very decided ability, and one who can portray deep passion or emotion without o'erstepping the modesty of nature." Her voice, it is true, does not possess great volume, yet, to those who can appreciate correct emphasis, and a just conception of the author's sense, it is no less agreeable for being a woman's voice.

Her Julia has certainly not been surpassed during the season; and as Desdemona, on Friday night, (although a character, perhaps, that she seldom before attempted,) she elicited the most hearty and appreciative round of applause bestowed during the whole performance. But these remarks are already sufficiently extended for a notice. S. February 8d, 1852. of the American Telegraph.) Lola benefit to the Disabled Firemen Col.

Speech and Preaentatlon on behalf of the Firemen of a Medallion of Reply. Philadelphia, Febuary 3, 1852. Lola Montes has again made a great demonstration at the Walnut street Theatre, upon the occasion of her benefit to tlje disabled firemen. The house was crowded to overflowing, and the most intense excitement prevailed. At the conclusion of the performances, Col.

Wallace, in behalf of the Firemen's Association, presented her with a medallion likeness of Washington, which he accompanied with a handsome address, to which Lola replied in her accustomed happy style, and then retired amidsl a tempest of applause. She starts for Washington in a few days, the place of her next appearance. papers and men who advocate armed intervention in the affairs of Europe are the very worst enemies of Kossuth and his cause. They cherish hopes' that can never be realized, while they tend to make our position as a nation less respected, and our influence less potent than in our quiet and peaceful so long and so successfully pursued, to the dread of tyrants and the encouragement of the friends of freedom. We should look upon a war of intervention in European affairs as the greatest calamity that could befall our nation.

There is not one who dares to advocate a war on Russia against her intervention with the affairs of Hungary. Not one. None have done it, and none will. Are they honest, then, in trying to make political capital out of the fairest pretensions to bravery and war, while they pretend to deprecate war Mirror. Prkmaturi neighborhood of Chadd's Ford, Delaware county, was, on one day last week, tlyown into great excitement by the rumor being current that one of the inhabitants had been buried alive, but which a correspondent of the Delaware Republican" eontradicts in this wise: "First, Mr.

Isaiah Johnson never was buried till he died; second, nobody ever thought him dead till he actually did 'breathe his last gasp third, he never commenced to breathe again after he 'breathed his last Singular Trait in a lady in this city has a fine young cat that she raised from a small kitten; in the parlor the lady has a piano, and, as is the case with ladies who are fond of music, she has been in the habit of playing daily for years.

Thr Boston Rescur colored citizens of Boston, through Robert Morris, the colored lawyer, have presented Richard H.

It has grown rapidly into public favor, and at present numbers over two thousand members. The course of lectures delivered before it thus far have caused the most intellectual and agreeable resort.

They are very fully attended. The example whioh the mechanics of Baltimore and of Maryland have set in this enterprise is well worthy of emulation. Let every city in the Union have such an institution, and it must manifest a salutary influence, not only upon art and mechanical science, but upon public morals. Our Mercantile which I was one of the original founders, some twelve years ago, and now hold a ticket of honorary membership in another institution which has grown into greatness, and disseminated incalculable good. I might enumerate many other associations of this class, as an incentive for other cities to go and do likewise but I am somewhat diverting from the first design of my letter.

I observed, a few days ago, in the Baltimore Patriot," a very interesting letter from western Virginia, near Parkersburg, giving an agreeable description of that region, and much valuable information in regard to the progress of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. I have privilege to say that the letter alluded to was written by a young friend of mine, Mr. J. Munroe St. John, assistant engineer on the road.

He is a nephew of Col. Munroe, of the Baltimore "Patriot." His education and talents are of a superior order; and so rapidly has he grown into favor, that I am told there are prospects of his being called to Russia, at no distant day, to assist in engineering there. It is always pleasing to hear of the success of true merit and talent. M'lleParodi gave a concert here last-night. The large hall was filled to overflowing with beauty and fashion.

The steamers Mary Washington and Cambridge also arrived from Annapolis, bringing over three hundred passengers, who had been ice-bound and suffered greatly on board the ship Flora McDonald.
