FRYER, (J3tfr No. 1 North Gay street. THE BALTIMORE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1847. The Meeting of Congress. Once more, in the course of the 9ober revolution of oar venerable planei in its orbit, the time for the "gathering of the clans is brought nigh, and Washington merry, miserable- rollicking, frollicking.

pitiable, Washington antici pates with fearful delight the advent of congressional glory. The season of upholstery has been gladdenin the hearts and the eyes of the supplied, and in due time will replenish the pockets of the suppliers when they are paid. Painter have been reveling in all the infinite diversity of shades and combinations that the prismatic seven will afford. Cabinet-makers have levied upon their sleepless pillows for ornamental de vices to gratify the inconceivable tastes of parvenu employers; and all sons of artists and artisans have beta in requisition to provide luxurious ease, decent comfort, and tolerable convenience, for the various gradations of the artisto-demo-mobocratic multitude Ah: that we could say of that far-famed city, as the worthy pedagogue, under whose respected flagella ions we took the rudiments of Murray, taught us to exe'aim of his country," one 22J of February hundred and long ago, in artless variation of the interjectional exercise, ,:0 Washing ton! how amiable thou art!" The vast machine is already in motion. From the hitUerto undetermined confines of our national sy tern, the representative embodiments of the people are gliding toward the centre, laden to the full with the patriotism of good intentions, that will dissolve like snow beneaih the sun, in the atmosphere of the And what quires of speeches are stowed away in honest M.

and already half treasured in ihe brain, that will never be spoken; but, alas! what volumes, besided, that will. And how exceeding. varied is the style of patriotism that we must expect to witness, when the Prseident shall give the signal for the sport to commence, by the blast of the message in the midst of the arena. Then will commence one universal effort to save the Union from utter destruction, and every mother's son of us from aa impending catastrophe, of which we shall happily remain in blissful ignorance until then. And they will ta-k and chafe, and exclaim and declaim, and patriotism will constitute the theme of the long ses sion, diversified only by dinners and dancing, bil liards and ball rooms, feeding and we had almost said fighting; but rather than that, let us recommend the employment of the little vacancies that may re main on hand, In disinterested calculations of pay and mileage.

Patriotism! The love of country! There will not be a man in Congress but will claim to be actuated by no other motive than this; and some of them would undertake to establish their claim, when ever-other proof had failed, by the laws of the duello. We shall find some, whose patriotism and voice is still for war; others who will be clamorous for peace. There will be "proviso" and anti-pToviso clique? and sects; annexation men, acquisition men, and no-inore-territory-men. And in the midst of such an apparently inharmonious and incongruous assembly, who will have skill sufficient to evolve from the aonSict of debate and the tangled mass of antagonistic opinion, the point of union the path of nor? True patriotism will aim to accomplish this. True patriotism will consider all things; deliberate epon all the contingencies of a given project; prepare for all practicable and honorable work for, hope for and resolve upon the attainment cf the chief good.

It will seek to unite with a safe, prudent and practicable policy, the welfare and the honor of the nation; and act at all times under the ixinvictioa that no policy can be of such a character, that does not contemplate and ensure the grand objects we have expressed. The ensuing session of Congress will be one of vast importance in relation to the present and future history of our country. Events have occurred which demand and must engage the most enlightened statt s-rsartship of our national legislation. It is true, ti at whatever course of action may be ultimately adopted with regard to any great national question, must be nacessarily prosecuted upon its own merits, and without the test of any other; but, instead of finding in this fact 3n excuse for urging to extremity a favorite project, conceived with some special and isolated purpose, it should be regarded as one increasing the responsibility of members to unite upon that which comprehends the largest amount of general good. What that will be it must of course remain for every individual to determine for himself; and if ail were disposed to act patriotically, there is no emergen; hut might be safely committed to the intelligence of aa American Congress.

New Railsoad Arrangements. The Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wilmington Railroad have made important winter arrangements. The Citizens' line of steamboats have laid up for the season, and tiie-e is but two trains of cars to Philadelphia one at in the morning, and the stcond at 3 o'clock in ihe evening. The train that formerly left Philadelphia at 10 o'clock in the evening, bringing the evening mail end papers from New York, has been discontinued for the season. On and after the 10th instant, the winter arrangement of a night train between Baltimore and Washington will commence, starting at 12 o'cloei at night, on the arrival of the mail train from Philadelphia, and to connect with the Potomac mail boat, which leaves Washington at six clock in the morning.

To the gentlemanly oncers of the Citizens' steamboat line, the captains, clerks, and baggage-masters, we return our thanks for the many favors received at their hands during the past season, in the prompt delivery of packages of northern papers. entrusted to their care. Rev. R. J.

Breckexridge and the War. The Union publishes a letter from Lexington, which Mates that the Rev. Robert J. Breckenridge preached a thanksgiving sermon in that city on the S5th, which must have gladdened the heart of every patriot who heard him. He disclaimed all interference with politics; but he could not help adverting to the war in which Lis country was engaged.

The savage charae ter of the enemy was portrayed in the murder of poor Fanning and his men in cold blood, in violation of the terms of surrender, and, instead of improving in our good opinion by a more intimate knowledge of ilie tyrants of Mexico, we were compelled to consider them unfit for the management of a civilized people. Mr. Breckenridge Tebuked the idea in the strongest manner of any treaty with Mexico which could not secure us greater advantages in our future intercourse than we had heretofore enjoyed. Mr. Gallatin ad the Was.

A letter, or rather pamphlet, of the venerable Albert Gallatin, upon the Mexican war, its origin, abettors, fcc, has just been published. His views and opinions almost second and re-echo those of Henry Clay, upon the same question As a preliminary to peace, he thinks we ought to evacuate the Mexican territory row in our possession, insisting upon no other indemnification than that due before the war began. As to a final arrangement, he pays we must wait till peace shall have been restored and angry feelings shall have subsided. At present, the only object is peace. Sympathy foh Italy.

The Washington Union, relating the great demonstration in New York, says 1'We rejoice in this manifestation of the American sympathy. It is worthy of Rome, and worthy of America. It is to be hoped that it will not terminate here; but that the coming Congress will bring the two countries nearer together by diplomatic ties; and this will be another evidence of the sympathy felt by free and liberal people in the struggles which Italy is making for national independence and constitutional freedom." The Flood is Pennsylvania. Pretty extensive damage was the result to farmers and others, on the Codorus, Conewago, and Kreutz creek, by the late rain. The York Republican states that S5.000 will be necessary to repair the damage to the Codorus Navigation work.

A part of the branch railroad, at that place, was swept off, as also the bridge at the CodoTUS Iron AVoTks, near its mouth, and a large amount of timber from the sawmill of Mr. at Wrightsville. Illness of Chief Justice Spencer. We perceive by the tenor of Hon. J.

C. Spencer's letter to the N. Y. Committee for the meeting on Italy, that he considered his faiher.who was for so many years Chief Justice of that State, to be in a dying state. The venerable judge is now, we believe, between SO and SO years of age.

Found Dead. We learn from the Easton (Md.) Star, that the body of a negro child, 4 or 5 year of size was found dead on Sunday last in a hnt a short distance from that place. From marks and bruises on the head and body, the child is supposed to have teen whipped or beaten to death. Epidemic Laws. Dr.

Nolt, an eminent physician of Mobile, contends that the yellow fever and' other epidemic diseases are governed by fixed laws, and have but a limited time allotted to them, usually six to eight weeks. The yellow fever, he savs, has ceased in New Orleans wiihout frost, and in the tropics it follows the same law without regard to weather. New York State Debt. On the first of January next the Stale of New York is to pay $300,000, and bas no money in her treasury, it is stated, to meet the jjemandj The Havre packet ship New York arrived at New York on Wednesday afternoon, after a passage of 27 days, having sailed' on the 3d November.

Yesterdav morning, the fronts of two new three-story Lrick houses, in course of erection in Bond street, south cf Pratt, partially fell out, the effect possibly of a defect in the foundatiou. 1 he houses belonged to Mr.

Htnry Herring, who is putting up a row of five at that place. Last evening, a little after live o'e'ock, the entire gable end of the fine block of slorts being erected by Johns Hopkins, in txenange I luce, leil out, fall ing Exchange alley with bricks four or nve feet deep. The wall had gone up to the height of four stories. The store on the corner of Exchange Place and Ex change alley is entirely gone. The falling bricks did some slight damage to the adjoining dwelling occupied by Mr.

J. S. Hollins. The fronts of a portion of the remaining stores, standing as they do on granite columns, are much thrown out from the perpendicu lar, and will probably have to come down, it they do not fall of themselves. There was an apprehension ast night, that the falling wall had caught a man un der it.

Mr. Justice Schaeffer was passing through the alley at the time, and by running barely escaped. He has an impression that a man was behind him, who was caught, but is not certain of the fact. The escape of Air. Schaeffer was indeed a narrow one, as the tumbling bricks were around him when he reach ed a place of safety.

j4j Ancient Casting. We on yesterdav xamined a plate of cast-iron, about two feet square ai i three-quarters of an inch in thickness. In the centre of the plate (within a laurel wreath) is a male head, down ed with the same in the lower corners are representations of the Masonic implements, viz: the "rule, dividers, level and square." The top of the plate bears the following inscription, in rudely formed letters. about one and a half inches in length: W. Stiegal, Elizabeth Furnace, 1709." From the appearance ot the edges, this has been a portion of a stove, and will compare very curiously with the light and neat articles manufactured at the present day.

We were unable to learn the history ot this curious relic of the olden time, but have no doubt that, could those iron lips but speak, they wou be able to rehearse some thrilling tales of the "days that tried men's souls." Accident. At the burning of Mr. Grifhiss' stable. Fawn street, on Wednesday night, James Morris. who was in the employ of that gentleman as a wa goner, was very severely hurt by receiving a kick trom a Horse, wnicn ne was endeavoring to re move from the burning building.

The horse kicked him in the stomach, and he had to be carried away on a litter. He was not able to be out yesterday, and complained greatly of the injury. Besides the injury received, we learn that Morris lost all his clothing, who some money, wnica ne Kept in a room partition ed off in the second story of the building, and where he had constantly slept for more than a vear, acting as a watchman of the premises. His case is a hard one. Fires.

About tell o'clock on Wednesday night, one of the buildings on Waters' wharf, connected with the pork-packing establishment of Messrs. Goff Rough, and ftir.

There was an insurance in the Firemen's office, sufficient to cover the loss. The The buildings are the property of Messrs. Swan Dorsev loss to them net much. Yesterday morning an alarm was given, caused. we were told, by the burning of a frame house in Poo- pleton street.

Meeting at the Exchange. We are informed that a meeting of the Merchants and others interested, is called at the Rotunda of the Exchange, at 1 o'clock- to-day, for the purpose ot memorialising the Post master General in reference to the inconvenience and loss of time experienced by them from the recent alteration of the Eastern mail, by which all letters for this city, and all poins South of us, are subjected to a detention of not less than ten hours in the city of rhiiaoeipnia, oy tne discontinuance ot tne night train from that city. Wharf Finished. The wharf at the Marine Hos pital has been finished and delivered to the city. It was built under the immediate superintendence of James Mullen, under the constant inspection and direction of the city commissioners.

It is four hundred feet in length, and is perhaps one of the most substantial ever built. The piles were all shod with iron, and iron has been employed in all the fastenings. The wharf reaches to a point affording but eight feet water it must be carried about seventy feet further, when fifteen feet water can be obtained. The Loss Mr. Griffiss' loss by the fire on Wed nesday night, was not so great as some of his friends feared.

He had stored in the building a ouantitv of mahogany veneering, but it was all removed with slight damage. The marble work, window-sills, of a house, was stored there, and was considerably injured, rue loss win not reacn nve nunareo uonars. Mr. King, who had a lumber yard near by, lost some of his lumber, which was thrown into the Falls by the hremen, in tne enort to get water. Accident.

Or leans papers of the 21th and 25th, although the mail are yet kept back by the heavy floods in the Southern streams and the bad condition of the roads. The last New Orleans papers received by mail were of the 22d, those of the 23d, 24th and 25th being still behind all of which we have received by express. The pro bability is, however, that the mails of the 23d and 24th reached Washington during the past night, and if so, will be brought up this morning by the 8 o'clock train. The New Orleans Picayune, of the 24th, announces the arrival of the steamer Alabama, which left Vera Cruz on the 18th of November, bringing dates from the Capital to the Sth ult. The news is full a week later, and both interesting and important.

Among the passengers in the Alabama, are Major General Quitman, General Shields, Colonels Hardy Garland, Andrews, Morgan, Ramsay, and Burnett Major Dykeman; Lieuts. Porter and Sweney, of the New York Volunteers; Passed Midshipman Rogers and George Wilkins Kendall, and numerous other gallant officers. Major General Quitman leaves Mexico under or ders from Gen. Scott, to the effect that this much distinguished and efficient officer should proceed to the United Stales and report personally or by letter to the War Department. Since his promotion he has had no permanent assignment of a division, mitt tho object of his return is lo seek from tho government an appointment Hint wui speedily restore him lo at live service.

Gen Shields Teturns to seek tu-alih and a recovery from his wound. Colonel Harney comes lo recruit. Garland, Morgan, jburnel, rotten, and others, are or dered to join Brasg's Batten litiiiiediatclv. No less than 21U sick and disabled soldiers came on board the Alabama three died on the passage; one, Richard McMaiuis. I'ennsylvania volunteers, was buried at sea.

Tne great train, numbering t00, which lett Mexico on the 1st ot November, arrived at era Cruz on the 15th without molestation, save a few sho.s. Gen. Lane was at Puebla at the laics- dittes. and had been active in ferreting out the haunts of guerillas. He had mt i wiih but little annoyance since the Htfairs at Huamantla and Allisco.

A Mexican courier had leen captured with letters from Atlisco, Orizaba and Teliuaeon. Among them were documents from Santa Anna, in which he says he had just matured plans for attacking Perote, when he received orders from the Supreme trovernment lo turn over the com mand of the army. The 'Monitour published at the ca piial on the 4th November, says that a sufficient num ber ot members Had arrived at queretaro, on the hrst of that month, to form a quorum for the transaction ot business. Later letters, direct from Queretaro, announce that Congress had adjourned on the second of November. Seiu7r Don Jose Maria Godey, deputy from Guanajuato, was elected President of Congress, and Senor Don Jose Maria Hernandez, from Durango, Vice President.

A letter from an English gentleman, dated at the capital on the Sth November, states that although much confidence was felt in the acting President and ice rresident, as well as in VJoneress, who are dis posed to peace, it was much feared that Comphdado, of Guadalaxara, will be elected President ad interim of the Republic, instead of Herrera or Pena Pena. The heaua oi tren. Herrera is precarious, but im- Mrae say mat tliriea will receive a ma jority of the votes for President ad interim. Others are divided between Herrera, Almonte, Comp'udado, and Gonsales Roia. It was reported at Vera Cruz that Gen.

Lane hod another brush with Gen. Rea, near Puebla. and routed him entirely Alt was quiet at Ferote when the train from the Cnpi'al came through. Gen. Fatterson was at Jalana, suffermff somewhat with a savere cold, but was recovering.

Gen. Cushing command was three miles bevond Gen. and his entire force was the vi cinity of three thousand men. Colonel Jact Hays lett era Cruz for Puebla on the 13th. escorting Major Polk and Mr.

Liuiler would, in a fortnight, move forward towards the capital with 6,000 what had been left behind ot a former division. General Quitman's division at the capital had been incorporated with the divisions of Twiggs and VV orth, as aiso tne Pennsylvania and New York vol unteers witli the former.

Nothing positive had been received as to the where abouts of Santa Anna. Many believed him to be secreted near Vera Cruz, waiting an opportunity to depstrt in the British steamer for Havana. TheAreoIns. ot the 10th, states that he had ar rived at Orizaba with fifteen hundred ragged followers, but it give no hint as to his future movements. Com.

Perry was to sail the day after the sailing of the Alabama for Alvarado, Tabasco, Laguayra and Campeachy. 1 he American ttar, of the 3d, published at the Capital, states that the Congress of Queretaro had re ceived a communication from Mr. Trist, but the character of its contents had not transpired. The papers from the Mexican capital contain a loner communication from Senor Otero, a distinguished member ot Congress, invoking pablic opinion to in duce Congress to declare that Government shall make no peace by which any territory, but Texas, shall hp. alienated from the Mexican republic.

The steamer tjalve-toii sailed trom Vera Cruz on the 15th, to touch at Tampico, and the New Orleans and Gen. Butler were to sail on the 15th.

Talbot Count? Agricultural Fair. The Eas ton Star publishes the full reports of the respective committees on behalf of the late Agricultural Exhibi tion at that place, including the premiums. The reports embrace the following heads: Asses and mules, cattle, sheep, swine, agricultural implements, domes- ic manufactures, bread and butter, field crops, vege tables and poultry, under all of which numerous pre miums were awaraeu. We notice that ladies were the recipients of all the awards in domestic manufactures and in the bread and butter line, and to a great extent also for the poultry. The agricultural implement premiums were almost entirely taken by R.

Sinclair Ac of this city, and E. Whitman. C. Drurv however, got the premium for the best horse-power grist-mill. The committee say: "It may be truly said that in this department no previous show will bear a comparison with the present and there were not a few who regarded it une-qualed by any that has ever occurred in our extensive country." "The whole Eastern Shore of Maryland will pav a tribute to those distingushed manufacturers and venders of agricultural implements, Messrs Sinclair Whitman, and Drury, for their efforts, and the expense they have incurred in adorning our exhibition with such a splendid display." Lost Sloop rientshii In reference to this packet sloop, announced in our ship news yesterday as being run ashore on Sunday, near the Patuxent, on her route from Philadelphia to Georgetown, the Georgetown Advocate, of yesterday, says: 'She was heavily laden with sugar and printing paper for J.

Gideon Son, liquor, most of which, it is feared, will prove a total loss to the merchants of Georgetown and Washington, as there was no insurance." It was stated, however, yesterday, that two-thirds of the cargo had been brought to this port, and there were hopes of getting her off. Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. The Georgetown Advocate, of yesterday, says: "We have the information from those acquainted with the canal, that boats will be able to pass as far as Harper's Ferry by the middle of next week, if the weather permits, but that it will probably be the middle of December before the upper part of the canal. above Harper's Ferry, is repaired so as to allow the boats to come down."
