How.eooitnt Bty Sof Zfem. THE EVENING TOStT WEDNESDAY ET EKING, JANUARY 17. THE COPY RIGHT will no general copy right law pawed by this Congress. If yon expect them to legislate intelligently and justly on that subject, yon will xpect in vaia," eaid a literary friend to tie yesterday, and we could not help agreeing with him. Xet oiaddree ourselret for a moment to the mem bera of Congreei on thie aubject "If we believe, gentlemen, that yon will not le-Xislate justly and lotelligeotly on this subject, it is not because we suppose that yon hare not sufficient intellect or hooasty to do so, if yon would take the trouble to understand the question, but there is no probability that you will take the trouble.

You are engaged in other matters you hare a great game to play you are divided into democrats and whigs, and you hare to tratchjech other's more-menu and to proride for securing a victory at the next presidential election. The copy right question is no part of this game. Some of you will regard it as an idle and impertinent episode, which no man has a right to thrust upon your attention while you are occupied with affairs of so much greater importance. Others, seeing that it is not made a party question, will take it for granted that it may be safely left to make its way through Con-grass by its own merit, and therefore, will not interest tbsmMlres to examine it. Others not seeing it discussed.in the principal journals of the two parties, will never be aware that such a question is before the country.

We happened to mention it not long since to a distinguished representative of one of our oldest and most populous atates, who acknowledged that he had not heard of it before. We fear, gentlemen, that these three classes include almost every member of Congress. If you would take the pains to understand the subject, we think you would bare no temptation to go wrong, but we (ear that you will cot pay attention enough to the matter to look beyond the superficial considerations which hare made our copy right law the partial and mischievous thing it is. One of your members, Mr. C.

J. Ingersoll, of Philadelphia, has just introduced a bill extending the term of copyright, and making some other provisions for the security of literary property. We doubt not the liberality of bis intentions toward the literature of eur country, but the final section of liis bill which limits the copyright to citizens or residents in this country, deitroys the value of the rest The mischief for which we seek a remedy is this, that in consequence of our copyright laws, American literature is driven from the market and aupplanted by the literatureof Great Britain. The authors of Britain form the minds of our people from the earliest period of life, and our own authors are overpowered and silenced by the multitude of British republications. The true remedy is, to put foreign authors and American authors on an equal footing in regard to a copyright, but this Ingersoll's bill does not contemplate.

Of what use is it to extend the term of literary property, and hedge it round with new securities, if you allow a law to stand which deprives it of all value How can it be expected that publishers will ever purchase a book from an American author, when they can get a book from England fer nothing The law, as it now stands, says: This man's property is sacred but that man's you may blunder freely you nvut buy this man's good if you want them, but you rniy take that man's goods without paying fur them. How can it be expected that he, whose goods you protect from robbery, will be able to sell them, as long as you point to another whose goods may be taken for nothing You rob the one of his property and you rob the other of a market. The mischief to both is equal. "No, gentlemen, we cannot thank you very hear tily for an offer to provide a better security for what yon have made worthless. But if you are resolved to deny the request that our books be put upon an equal footing with those produced by foreign authors, at least have the justice to abolish the copy.right altogether.

We had rather leave the matter to be voluntarily arranged between the authors and the booksellers, than to leave it where the law now places it. We should expect something better from their native sense of rectitude than the law now gives us. Booksellers are natu rally no more pirates and plunderers than other men, and in the absence of any law relating to the question, a voluntary recognition of the literary property of all authors, wherever their place ot birth or residence, would of necessity grow up among us. We had rather trust to the feeling of natural justice in the community, than to such aids as you offsr us." Ntw.Yoaa LcoiSLATVaK, Monday, January 13th. In th Senate, Mr.

Portev offered a resolution to amend the Constitution to the following effect The Court for the Correction of Error shall consist of eight judges, to be chosen by the people, one in each ot the Senate district. They shall hold their offices for ton years, unless sooner removed by impeachment, except four of those first chosen, to be determined by lot, who shall hold for five yeass. The said judges shall choose one of their number tor their president a majority of said judgss shall constitute a quorum." The Committee of the Whole then consumed the day In th discussion of th Governor Message. In th Assembly, in Committee of the Whole the resolutions from the Senate, urging upon Congress a rigid system retrenchment in the na tional expenditure were taken up. The question recurred on Mr.

Hoffman' motion to amend by changing the words present in come," to current revenue, and, adding a clause urging also the establishment of a aiaking fund to pay oil th present debt of the United States. Mr. Stevens had also proposed to amend further, as to urge that th current revenues be derived solely from imposts. Mr. Davis having the floor, addressed th Committee at length injfavor of Mr.

Steven amendment. He wa replied to by Major Devezac, when th House adjourned. Mrssissirri. Th legislature of this state met at Jackson on the 1st instant, when Jesse Speight was elected President of the Senate, and Mr. James Totten, Speaker of the House.

The message of Governor Tucker, delivered the same day, contains a brief history of the financial condition of the State. He thinks that the nation has passed its period of adversity, and but for the protective tariff could rapidly rise to its former prosperity. On the latter subject his expressions of opinion are more decided than those ot any message that we have lerently teen. After referring to recent commercial reverses, he says We are to expect nothing but the periodical recurrence of speculations, fluctuations and disasters, thit will convolse the civilized world, until we adopt universal Fre Trade, or seriously approximate thereto that is, to ao unrestricted barter or exchange, of the surplus productions of one country for the surplus productions of another."

15, 1844. In the Senate, Mr. Woodbridge and other gentlemen prea ented a number of petitions and memo rials prayinf. a reduction of postage, and the abolition or the -better regulation of the franking privilege. Mr.

Breese brought in a bill making lands within Vxo state of Illinois, subject to state taxation as soon as purchased from the government Houses or Representatives The power of the minority. Mr. Cave Johnson moved that all debate be stopped in Committee of the Whole, ctt the resolution for the reference of the President's message, at three o'clock to-day. This motion wis negatived, though a large majority voted in its lavor, because by the repeal of the 132d rule, no motion, the effect of which is to abridge debate, House. Mr.

Hopkins has a resolution pending lor the restoration of the rule, and it is to be hoped that it will carried immediately after the reading of the journal to-morrow morning. POSTAGK BBroRaf. A member from New York tailed up a resolution presented by bim two weeks ago, and laid over as giving rise to debate, calling upon the Postmaster General to communicate to the House a ststement of the whole amount of matter carried by mail within given time, distinguishing that which was paid, from the free matter. The object of the inquiry is to ascertain how the revenues of the department will be affected by the abolition of the franking privilege, and how much there is in the plea of the head of that department, addressed in his annual report to the selfishness of members of Congress, that if they insisted upon a reduction of the rate of postage, they would be obliged to compensate, in part, for the loss of income which the department would thereby sustain, by giving up the franking privilege. Mr.

Hopkins aaid the call for this information was an unnecessary one, tor the Senate had passed a resolution the very same in purport, and almost in terms, the answer to which might serve both branches. Mr. Preston King asked soms question with reference to the proceedings ol the Committee on Post Office Affeirs, and when they would be ready to propose something to the House. Mr. Hopkins, the Chairman ot the Committee said its members were unanimously in favor of a thorough andj effectual reform of the whole post office system, charges and all, and were going on with their inquiries, with diligence and fidelity to the trust confided to them by the House.

Mr. Kennedy. Mr. Speaker, one word about that. The Committee are not unanimous in the matter.

For one member of the Committee, I can say that I do not, and never will, consent to any alterations in the present system which shall make the mail service a burden to the government. It oujht to be supported from their receipts. The mail facilities which my constituents, and these of other re preservatives from the west enjoy, 'are about the only compensation they have for the immense yearly tribute which, in one way or another, is exacted from tbem by the seaboard." The debate was becoming quite general, when, upon some observation from the Speaker, the mo ver of the resolution consented to its going over to a future day. Mr. Pratt gave notice of his intention to introduce a bill for the establishment of a mint in the city of New-York.

The Speaker said this was the regular semimonthly resolution day, and directed the cleik to begin the call of the States. Those "Two Ccnts." Mr. Phoenix (probably) offered a lesolution expressing a curiosity, on the part of this House, with respect to the legal authority by which the keeper ot the lower branch Post Office in New-Yotk received two cents a-piece for the delivery of letters therefrom. I believe the resolution was objected to, and went over. From uch twopenny considerations, the transition seems, somewhat sudden to a proposition to amend the Constitution of the United States.

Yet that was the import of the next resolution, oflered by somebody whose face I did not recognise. Spanish Com at Post Or nets. The inquiry soon followed, have or have not the officers of the post office in New York, taken silver coin for postage at less than its market value, and sold it to brokers at au advance on prime cost and charges The question was addressed to the Postmaster General, and passed. Postmaster Graham, by the way, is here likewise J. W.

Edmonds, Wm. P. Hallet, Clerk of the Supreme Court, Col. Murray, James Brown and several others, well known citizens of the commercial metropoli TaEAiunr Not. Mr.

Niwton, of Virginia, presented a resolution inquiring and directing some committee to inquire whether Mr. Secretary Spencer's treasury notes, at nominal interest, were issued in conformity to any existing law, and were not in violation of one of the provisions of the constitution. Removing S.tags and Sawvibs. Mr. Thorn asson proposed a resolution directing the Com-mittee of Ways ahd Means to inquire what specific appropriation would be necessary to make certain improvements in the navigation of the Mississippi river.

Mr. Ihomasson made some remarks in a very impressive strain on the distressing calamities which almost daily occurred on that river, in consequence of the cruel neglect of the government, or the niggardly policy pursued by it in refusing a small appropriation for the removal of the obstruction to its navigation. The resolution passed. Salt Duties. Cave Johnson gave notice of a bill to repeal the duties on salt, and he moved a resolution of inquiry anent the amount of those duties, Mr.

Owen moved a resolution for printing 3000 copies of Mr. Greenhow's memoir upon Oregon Territory. He stated that though it had once been priuted by th Senate, there was not a copy to be had for love nor money. The resolution was op posed by Mr. Wiuthrop, for opposition sake, I presume, and was postponed.

Mr. Simonson proposed the enactment of a rule tor a standing committee on printing, and that every paper (hall be submitted to its examination before ordered to be printed under the authority of tb House. Mr. Wise opposed the resolution, for some reason which did strike me as of much force, and which I have forgotten. Mr.

Weller was not surprised that he (Wise) should contend for the largest liberty in the matter of printirg House docuraeuts, for be recollected that the gentleman had once boasted that not a single public jsurnal had ever been published in bis district, and perhaps therefore his constituents could only get at the proceedings here (quorum fiart magna fuit) through information furnished from these papers. Wis The gentleman mistakes. Here he said something about the Capitol, one of the eldest journals on the continent, having been set up down in Accomac somewhere. The getttlnntn in my district read everything necessary to give them a complete and accurate knowledge of public events. But they despise and hold in the deepest corn tb contemptible village press, that vehicle of scurrility, falsehood and Weller 1 am glad to oe corrected, i am pleased to find that the gentleman' tormer decla ration was misunderstood, or not to bo literally taken.

And, indeed, I hav long felt it to be strange and unaccountable that a people who never read a newspaper, should have shown themselves intelligent in their choice a to send a gentleman to represent them here, ol his talent and Wu Th gentleman is not yet aware of all their advantage. In that cam benighted, craw fih and wet-poutoe oating district, stand a world-famous seat of learning, old William and Mary's College an academy in which were edu cated George Washington, James Madison, John ot Roanoke, Gen. Taylor, and a host ot other eminent public men an institution which ha rent out mor dietinguiahad tatemen than any other in America." Weller "And last, I suppose, but rarely not least, lh gentleman from Accomac Laughter Wise. "No, sir, I wa sent off to western Perm tylvania, where I learned what little book knowl. edge I have, and that better knowledge, radical democracy.

Not the modern democracy, but the good old Virginia democracy the Weller. Ah that is just the democracy I never could understand. That standard we, outer Barbarians, cannot attain. Whether under the name of an abstraction, or called by any other, I have always found it a very odd contraption, which passed all understanding." Mr. Simonson anally consented to the resolution going on.

Mr. Cave Johnson moved a reconsideration of the resolution adopted this morning with reference to the improvement of the western rivers. Mr. Thomaeson spoke against the resolution with river, were the citizen of the United States. Pittsburg wa now a port of entry.

They bad imported their goods direct from Europe, and paid the duties upon them and very happy they would alway be to pay duties at that port for the support of government. They had built two ships in the river above Pittsburg, both of which had taken on board their cargoes, and made their way to Europe. When one of them, the "Pittsburg, of Pittsburg, had been entered at the custom house in Liverpool, John Bull declared it was all a Yankee humbug, there could be no such thing as a great sailing vessel finding its way from a place two thousand miles in the interior of America across th Atlantic ocean. And hre were disputing wnemer was a stream ot the national character, which would justify an appropriation from Congress to improve its navigation. This question of re-consideration is a privileged question, and may be debated, if member choose, until the per diem fund i exhausted So that, you perceive, we have two parallel lines of gab started on the same subject, from points which are but very motely connected with it.

MoPiDAT EVEKIWG, 10 O'clock. Well, we have reached the beginning of the end Tha Senate was in secret session four hours to day, and talked over the case of Mr. Henshaw, until they came to the conclusion, almost unanimously, it is said, to reject him. The vote is said to have been, for confi rmation 8, against it 38. The transactions connected with the Commonwealth Bank are the presumed cause of this unfavorable decision.

I have advised you that the general opinion ran strongly against the probability of Mr. Henshaw's passing, but for myself, being unac quainted with the specific charges against him, I supposed be would be confirmed. JjThe whig Senators held a caucus on Saturday night, at which it is understood that it was finally decided to throw Mr. Henshaw overboard, and confirm Mr. Porter.

Now this was an adjourned meeting, for it had been before determined by a majority of four, to send Mr. Henshaw home, and likewise Mr. Porter, by the majority of two. P. S.

It is now reported that the vote on Mr. Henshaw's nomination was 34 against, to 8 in favor of it. Chim raoM the Woasinor. Parnassus, th Outlaw's Dream, or Old Man's Counsel, and other Poena, by Charlea Ives. New Haven.

Hitchcock it Stafford, 1943. These poems are dedicated by the author to his crutches, the long-triad and faithful companions of his solitude. They are the productions of a mechanic, who owes nothing to the schools, and mho cites the examples of Homer and Shakspeare and Pope and Burns to show that literary greatness does not depend upon an academic education. There i. generally in these verses a vein of agree able thought which the author clothes in poetic imagery of a cheerful and gentle character.

We take the following stanzas as a spocimcn, from the Outlaw's Dream Each plant that greets thee, and men lea bower Each tree that yields or proudly atands the thock Of warring element each opening flower That bloom droops dies like hope which cheer, then mock Each wave-washed pebble and each time-warn rock Each winding: riter ocean valley lake fcich prowling; oeaJt.tacn genua mepaera i nocx hate fr has me, wnate'er nasiorm, win maae Tkoao better, happier, wiser, who their counael take. The earth it full of voices they declare Liio'i myateriea death eternity and heaven There is more eloquence in viewlesa air, Than e'er to Grecian orator wai given. Hark from yon cloud, by tempests madly driven, Ood. throned in darkneaa, to bis children cries Awed by hia preaance. tree and rocka are riven, And every hill top to hit voice repliea.

Man heara. fears, prays, resolves but unchanged lives and dies. The ttreamlet mnrmnra on its winding way, A moral lesson te each passer by Each wave is vocal, and methinks they say, We seek the ocean thou eternity." The leaf when withering, speaks to every eye Ot sickness age decay its rustling fall With eeual plainness tells ns we must die And if the buried seed at first appal, Wejuy to learn in spring tha grave can disenthral. Now that these verses have been put in type, it strikes us that there are better ones in the volume. There is a certain facility of versification in some of the smaller poems which might be cultivated into something of a more lively and graceful character than the author has given us.

Co. of Boston, whose beautiful edition of Motherwell, Tennyson, and Barry Cornwall, should have a place upon the table of every intellectual household. These publishers have just added to their series, Leigh Hunt's pleasant Story of Rimini, a poem characterised by graceful ease and delicious pictures.

The former are too well known require any new commendation, and we are glad to see them collected in so beautiful a shape.

The popular lyrist of France is not so well known, but there is a vein of genuine patriotism and a glowing spirit in his effusions which cannot fail to win him admirers even through the medium of a translation." Shipwreck and Loss or Life The St. Stephen (New Brunswick) Courant of the 11th of January, give an account of tha wreck ot the brig Sarah Lovett The Sarah Lovett, after having undergone a thorough repair in consequence of springing a leak and putting back from sea about two months since, ailed from L'Etang on the 4th December, lumber loaded, for the West Indie when three days out was capsized in a heavy gale of wind from IS'orth. The deck load fastenings weie immediately cot away, with the lor and main topmast rigging, when tbe vessel rigntea with the lower masts standing, and water logged. Captain Abbot perished the same day. The survivors of the crew succeeded in obtaining a barrel of bread wet with salt water, which with a quantity of ice and snow about tbe decks, afforded them sustenance while they remained upon the wreck.

On the thirteenth day after the disaster, two of the crew perished lioin cold and exnaustion; and the htteenth day (22d December) the mate also perished. On the same day the wreck was happily fallen in with by the brig Ann, captain i ooa, oi neiDurne, and the taken onboard in an al renal rtAriah.

Much must depend on the stand which that part ofow citizens will take in the great conquest of next fall; and we will therefore define tneir position aceordine to our best information. The German have fifty six newspapers in this country, thirty-nine of whom defend Democratic principles, thirteen belong te the Whig party, and four are neutral in politics.

Mr. Ballard came up the steps and the prisoner followed him; he endeavored to enter th house and she caught him by the coat; tha door opens outwards; he step-eed back and said something to her, and she either put her hand in her pocket or muff, and pulled nut something whicn she dropped; witness picked it up and handed it to her, but she refused to take it; Mr. Ballard walked down two steps and talked to a gentleman lor a minute or two, and the lemale ttood behind him on the platform, and was about to pull the door open when the prisoner caught him by the collar with her right hand and made a plunge at him, and hes said he was stabbed; witness then caught the prisoner in hi arms and she made another plunge at him, but I held her still; a gentleman came up and took the knile out of her hand, and, as a crowd had assembled, she was taken into the house by witness; Ballard had left; on prisoner coming into the house she stated that she was sorry she had not killed him; a cab was then sent for and she was taken to the watch house. This witness underwent a long cross examination, but nothing material was elicited. Samuel Floyd testified that he was the person who took the knife from her.

The knife was shown to the witness, which he identified. This witness in part corroborated th testimony of Cummire, except that he did not see any blow struck or the right band used to detain Ballard by the collar, but saw a scuffle. Dr. Watson. Mr.

Ballard was brought to my room in the Astor House on the night of the 1st of November. He had a wound on the left side immediately over the region ot the heart a wound made by a sharp pointed instrument I probed the wound, and found that it did not peuetrate further than the rib it struck the immediate edge of the sixth rib there was no danger to the life of Mr. Ballard from the wound inflicted the depth of the wound was about a quarter of an inch a very slight degree of force would hare inflicted the wound; Mr. Ballard's clothes were exhibited which the witness identified as the tame which he wore on the night of the occurrence. The prosecution hero rested.

If after thirteen years' operation American vessels still do three feorths of th business, there it but little reason to complain. Tha period it now approaching when th btnki make np their quarterly acconnta, according to the law of the last session. To prepare for that event, and make their statements accord as near as passible with sound prin ciples of commercial banking, many loans, made upon stocks ss security, are called In temporarily, and csuse a great Sactuatien In th apparent values of public securities In former years, when th banks made their statements public only annnally, a pressure in tbe market wat alwtyt perceptible on the approach of the halidtyt, because that process of curtailment Wat than ommenced, which now taktt pltce quarterly.

In yean of regular business, wben tha commercial demand for meney bears a nearer relation to the amount aetking that employment, there will of course be lest iustuttiont in the bank move-menu, because the loans then will be of nature that they will not task to disguise. At th present time, the amount of capital vested in corporate inttitntiens for employment, is very Urge in proportion to the demand for it in regular bnsinets. At the same time, th demand for it in tha stock market It greet. The amount of stocks tatlly upon the market is not large, and tha loam applied by tha banks to operations in them cause violent A actuations in the prices. This fact ltyt tha aeld open to tale tpeoulatient en the part of the institutions themselves, in-atmuch at, by a mere movement of their own, they agitata the market several percent, in a week.

This hat lad to the surmise that in tha natural anxiety to stake good their atrial dividends, tuck an opportunity of drawing money from th community will not be allowed to escape. This it an evil inherent in corporate institutions, but could not exist were the business of money-lending, like that ot au other trades in tht htndt of individuals. Of lata years, with the advancement of the real Interests of the country, it hat coma to bo true that individual houses of discount hav gro wa up in opposition to tha banks, from tha mere fact that the public can deal with them to better advantage and more tafely than with a powerful yet irre-sponsibls corporation. Individ uali here ia tha stmt way take tha exchange and collection business out ef th hands of the institutions because they csn do it to better advantage. Where th tmsins ia in th hands ef indivi duals, tke amount of capital tppropriattd to loan will never be aaere thaa cam be safely employ ad in legitimate bm rinses, because the houses hav mare practical knowledge ei tha wants and solvency of tliitir rnslamais Lluu can corporate lenders aver attain and they are alas wade the receptacles enly ef the actual surplus capital threw a ef frees th butlnats at tha tar wealthy titans ef dealers to Sad employment, through a banker, la (the handset theeewhoM capitals ar not tumciaat for th successful conduct of their ba tin ess Sack ieraotis can asTort to gn ocily a low rate ef intsr est, and that fact alaaa Brwveate tea Brack capital from Backing aajeh employ stents.
