Brooklyn Congrct. MoNDAY.ilarch 16. In Senate, Mr; Benton, from the Select Commit A houBo OlTriaiBa offoJnst ltaeli, The New Vorlt'JVeioi of this imorning asks with an impIinSrBncer, how maoyl; democratic candidates thore wore in'the late New Hampshire etcrf tion. The News assumes, we suppose, that all tho You cannot togislate tfken into; virtue winters ngo wag of a legislator got op in tho Capitol st Albany, and moved foith, all licentiousness ahd immorality bc.abolished the state of New York." The immediate causo tho witty fellow's proposition, wo believe, was ono those seduction bills which are annually brought beforo tho legislature, and just as annually laid on tho table. Though the joke was good, wc consider tho philosophy of our wag to have been better still.

It is all folly to expect from law, trie' worth, and self denial which must come from entirely different sources from the influence and cxamplo of home, fioni well rooted principles, from a habit of morality. Wo have therefore little faith in laws that interfere with morals. Wo havo no faith at all in the efforts of law to make men good. That is not the province of the statute book at all. Tiio Directors of tho Fall River Railroad," says Mirror of last evening, havo declared by voto Speak no 111.

'BIT CHARLES SWAIN. Nay, speak ho; ill a kindly word Can never leave a sting behind. And, oh to broathe each tale we've heard. If fur below a noble mind. Full oft a better seed is sown, By choosing thus tho kinder plan For if but little good bo known, Still let us speak tho best we can.

Give me tho heart that fain would hide Would fain another's fault efface How can it pleasure human pride, To prove humanity but base No let ug reach a highor mood1, A nobler ostimatc of man Be earnest in tho search for good. And speak of all the best We can. Then speak no ill but lenient be To others' failings aa your own If you'ro the first a fault to see, Be not tho first to make it known. For life is but a passing day, No lip may tell how brief it span Tlion, oh, the little time we stay. Let's speak of all tho best we can IntoUljrence; "I Fire Aiiibt BijJ The committee oh the Coin: men who were empowered, two Weeks since to procure afire ularra bell, and have it temporarily erected at the corner of Fulton and Court streets, until the new City Hall bofmished, reported on Monday night that the $1200 appropriated therefor was insufficient sum for the purpose.

The New York weighs between eight and nine thousand which at 35 cents per lb. would alone cost nearly 3000. The Committee were of the opinion that weighing half as much would be heard at an equal distance. Some conversation ensued among members, and the conclusion was, that a good and efficient bell had better be procured at Whatever cost, and the matter was referred back to the committee with an understanding that they should investigate more thoroughly and report accordingly. This, in opinion, is the right view of the matter for it is to be expocted that this great and growing city1" will put up.

or put up with, a mere cow bell. Wo want an instrument whose sounds combining tho energies of a thousand ordinary bell tongues, will tee, read the report rclativo to the charges in the Washington limes. The report says, Unit "the charge in all its bearing is a contemptible and rccoinmcndB that tho publisher, editor and re. porters of tho Times, bo excluded from tho Reporters' gallery. All the members of tho Committee tho report as to the falsity of tho charge in tho Times but Mr.

Dickenson opposed the resolution excluding wie wrncrs irom me reporter gallery. Mr. Dicben. son was right. The Senate has no business to ex pel a reporter.

Iho report was then unanimously concurred in. The resolutions in relation to Orefon wero then taken up. Mr. Calhoon. who had the floor from Tlinrsdav.

took the floor. In tho House, tho scats are noarly empty, the members having been attracted to the Senate to hear Mr. Calhoun's speech on Oregon. After organizing, tho House went into Committee of tho Whole, and toon up the Kiver and Harbor bill. Mr.

Ewing, of Tennessee, spoke. Ho is in favor of the broadest principle in making internal improvements. Legislative Summary. Monday, March 16th. In tho Senate on Monday, Mr.

Spencer presented minority report (in behalf of himself and Mr. Wheeler) relative to leasehold tenures, and 1250 copies were ordered printed. Several Kailroad bills wero then considered among others, the Canandaigua and Corning, and the New York und New Haven, butno question was taken. Iho senate llien adjourned to a special session at o'clock, P. to consider the bill to reimburse Delaware county for expenses to enforce laws.

Sic At the afternoon session the Delaware bill was dis cussed at length by Messrs. Clark, Johnson, Cham berlain. Beers, Mitchell and Putnam. The commit tee rose and reported the bill, but no question was taken on agreeing with the report ol the committee. In the House the session was chiefly occupied with a long discussion on the location of the Scho harie public buildings, upon which Mr.

Lawyer was heard. The Albany, Cohoes and Waterford Railroad bill was reported complete. New line of stages. Though wc have already several handsome omnibus lines, the more the merrier, Doubtless there will be work enough for them all. Wc sec it stated that a new lino of omnibuses is soon to commence running from the Fulton Ferry, through Myrtle avenue, to East Brooklyn.

St. Patrice's day was celebrated in this city and Now York with great spirit. The processions both in Brooklyn and in N. Y. were very fine.

Now that the first month of spring is upon us and already half advanced, a practical hint or two to farmers may not be amiss; for, above all other avocations at this or any other season, that of the farmer in our opinion, most imparl ant. This is the month when the pruning of trees should be attended, to if the elements arc nut too un favorable. Young trees require little pruning just sufficient to keep the heads in good shape and remove the branches crossing.or interfering with others. Tiie heads of old ones which have become thick with branches should be sufficiently thinned out to admit of the sun. andair freely when in foliage.

This, we need not add, is essential to the flavor and quantity of the fruk. The branches should be cut close to the limb with a pruning saw, or saw attached to a long pole a sharp chisel, thus attached will do hotter for small branches. By doing this before the sap begins to no plastering of the cut will be necessary: but, if done afterwards, especially with the plumb, the cherry, or the quince trees, a thin coat of tar or some plastic substance should be put on the cut so as to avoid the attack of insects. All the grafts that have sprung out below the top graftings should be cut off, and some ef these, if from superior fruit trees, should be exchanged for others, or given away. Ornamental trees and shrubs should also be pruned now, to improve their Bhapc, removing all decayed, straggling and dead branches.

In cutting scions, care should be taken. A sharp Kmlc should be used, and two or three buds of last year's growth should be left upon them. Each should be labelled when cut, stating the sort, so that the best only may be grafted, given away or sold. The planting of fruit trees should be done as soon as the weather and soil permit itis now high time and garden fruits especially currants, gooseberries, raspernes, As soon as the sap. is in motion, grafting should bo done, particularly gratis of the cherry and plumb even before if possible.

Pears and apples will do later. Care should be taken in the process and if not well understood, competent persons should be employed no quacks. If the weather bo per manently mild, uncover strawberry beds, tender trees, bulbous roots, grape vines, roses, soruDs, that may have been covered during the winter the bruised and broken limbs cut on, and tha earth dressed around them, with manure if required. Hot beds should now be constructed, and no farmer should be without one or more, for the forwarding of celery, the cauliflower, tomalos, egg plants, for tho summer mav be half gone before they can be raised from tho seed in open ground. Stable manure should be applied.

Any farmer can make the frame and sash. As soon as the ground is open. lettice and early peas may be sown. Fruit trees mav be manured with a liberal dressing a little way Irom ine irunic. 1 ne irunas, ji mossy orscaiy should be scraped and washed with an alkali or strong soap suds.

This is very important it pro. tects it Irom worms, and is otherwise ot great util ity. Caterpillars may now easily ba destroyed. Tho eggs may be seen on the branches, deposited in rings of a brownish or grey color, containing some two hundred or three hundred eggs. these should be very carefully looked for and destroyed.

Not a moment is to be lost in doing this, nor a single nest suffered to remain. Bean poles may be got ready, labels written, tools fitted up, and arbors and ornamental trellises prepared, Some of General Washington's Roles.

Public atlcntion, within Iho last few days has been naturally turned to the slave trade that most abominable of all man's schemes for making money, without regard: to the character of the means used for the purpose Four vessels have, in about as many days, been brought to tho American torrilory, for beinfj engaged in this monstrous business It is a disgruco and Hot on tho character of our republic, and on our boasted humanity Though we hear less now a days of this trade of Aha atrocious slavo hunt of tho crowding of a mass of compact human flesh into little more than its equal of space we are not to suppose that such orrors have ceased to exist.

Tho great nations of the earth our own first of all have passed stringent laws against the slave traffic. But Brazil openly encourages it still. And many citizens of Europe and America pursue it notwithstanding itB illegality. Still the negro is torn from his simple tout from his children, his brethren, his parents, and friends to bo carried far away and made the bondman of a stranger. Still the black hearted traitors who ply this work, go forth with their armed bands and swoop down on the defenceless villages, and bring their loads of human trophy, chained and gagged, and sell them as so much merchandise Tho slave ship How few of our readers know the beginning of the horrors involved in that term Imagine a vessel of the fourth or fifth class, built more for speed than spaco, and therefore with narrow accommodations even for a few passengers a space between decks divided into two compartments three feet three inches from floor to ceiling one of these compartments sixteen feet by eighteen, the other forty by twenty one the first holding two hundred and twenty six children and youths of both sexes the second, three hundred and thirty six men and women and all this in a latitude where tho thermometer is at eighty degrees in tho shade Are you sick of the description 1 this is not all, by a goad sight.

Imagine neither food nor water given these hapless prisoners except a little of the latter, at long inter, vals, which they spill in their mad eagerness to get it; many of the women advanced in pregnancy the motion of the sea sickening those who have never before felt it dozens of the poor wretches dying, and others already dead, (and they are most to be envied!) the very air so thick that the lungs cannot perform their office and all this for filthy lucre! Pah wo arc almost a misanthropo to our kind when we think they will do such things Of tho 900 negroes, (there were doubt'ess more,) originally on board the Pons, not six hundred and fifty remained when she arrircd back, and landed her inmates at Monrovia It is enough to make the heart pause its pulsations to read the scene presented at the liberation of these sons of misery. Most of them wore boys, of from twelve to twenty years. What woo must have spread through many a negro mother's heart, from this wicked business It is not ours to find an excuse for slaving, in the benighted condition of the African. lias not God seen fit to make him, and leave him so? Nor is it any less our fault because the chiefs of that barbarous land fight with each other, and tako slavc pris. oners.

The whites encourage them, and afford them a market. Were that market destroyed, there would. Boorj bo no supply. We would hardly so insult our countrymen as to suppose that any among them yet countenance a system, only a little portion of whoso horrors we have been describing did not facts prove the contrary. The middle passage," is yet going on with all its deadly crime and cruelty.

Tho slave trade yet exists. Why The laws are sharp enough too sharp. But who ever hears of their being put in force, further than to confiscate tko vessel, and perhaps imprison the crews a few days 1 But the laws should pry out every man who helps tho slave trade not merely the sailor on tho sen, but the coicardly rich villain, and speculator on the land and punish him. It cannot bo effectually stopped until that is Jone and Brazil forced by tho black muzzles of American and European mcn of war's cannon, ton Eton her part of the business too Jl JTloodsoDiMressiBig losses off properly. As we anticipated, the lute thaw and rains have caused overwhelming distress in several parts of the iland.

Tho Hudson just above and below Albany ias risen above its banks, and swept away property at a groat rate. About 12 o'clock on Saturday night last the tide at Albany began to rise with great rapidity, and continued to rise till about 2 o'clock on Sunday morning, when it was at its greatest height, being six inches higher than it was in 1539. The poor people living along the docks and in the several streets in the lower part of the city, have been com pletely drowned out and have suffered greatly from hunger, wet and cold. Market street, from Hudson street to the old railroad house on the pasture, was completely under water, and navigable for boats from Hudson street on Sunday morning. Also, Hamilton street, above Union street up Lydius street to within a few rods of Green street up State street to the second store below the corner of Market street up Maiden Lane to Broadway.

In Ferry street both the Dutch Reformed and Catholic Church were flooded, and the water up to Franklin street. Tcail street was under water at tho corner of Arch street, and also at the south end where the railroad formerly crossed. Tho Bethlehem road was three feet and more under water. The island below tho city was entirely cov ered. Up about the Little Basin, hundreds were driven fronJ their dwellings, and were forced to seek refuge in their garrets.

At Haverhill, Mass. and along Merrimack and Little River there appears to have been even a more serious freshet. During Sunday night, the waters of these rivers having become dammed up by huge piles of ioo, rose to a height unprecedented within the recolicctiuri of the oldest inhabitant," and with fearful runidilv, finding the streets, filling the lower stories of factories and Rouses, floating off work shops, barns, and small buildings of various kinds, and carrying away Little River iidge from its founda tiou, and completely demolishing The Connecticut, the Delaware, ami the Susque i hanna are alo unusually high but the carnage is not so great thus far. At Hrrisburgh, tho bridges wero carried away, and considerable damage done to the lower part of the city, which is inundated. We are glad to add, however, that in all cases thera seem to have been little or no loss of life, that we have heard.

As far as the writer of this paragraph is concerned, tho Texas measure has, from the beginning, and with a staunch faith, fulness unsurpassed, we venture to say, by any person of equally hurnblo sphere, been aided on, by speech and by pen. We aro therefore free to speak our mind on the causes of the New Hampshire division, without danger of any personal retort, upon ourselves.

John P. Halo, lato democratic member of Congress from New Hampshire, was opposed to the admission of Texas whioh he had a perfect right to be. Ho voted against Texas, and spoke against her. After return from tho session preceding the present, his name, (for this exercise of his judgement) was stricken from tho list of democratic candidates for members congress to bo chosen at the now finished election on which it had been previously placed This created a general outcry, for the bulk of the New Hampshire democracy is not so 'well drilled that it can swallow every dose prepared for it by the leaders. The result of tho dissatisfaction our readers know well as we.

Angry and mortified, those who took part with Mr. Hale, throughout tho state, separated from regular nominations," and got up candidates their own. Yet we call them democrats for all that and their tickets too, mostly. We of course except those few, where their passions stimulated them to unite on compromise candidates with the whigs, for the purpose of crushing the regular candidates. This should never bo done, and is inexcusable under any circumstcnccs.

We speak of no new thing when we speak of that worst kind of tyranny, the tyranny of majorities. There is a shameful disposition, in this country, to hunt a man down to crush him in the very dust he dare stand out for an unpopular cause or doctrine. We sccrn and hate this miserable tyranny even when wc hate just as mueh the doctrine of him who is its victim If latitude on minor points is not allowable to democrats if the faith of each man must fit nicely the rigid guage held by a few self constitutcd leaders wo shall be in turmoil and dissension all our days. The fruits of this tyrannical way are ripening fast in our own state and have been, ever since the Texas party saw fit to denounce in bitter opprobium the anti Texas party. After annexation was consummated, the former differenceshould have been buried in oblivion, and the harmony of democracy preserved.

But faction thought otherwise, and wc sec the result all around us. We have not done with the game the News has started up, and shall recur to it again at an early day. Post Office Laziness. Ma. Editor Although agreeing with "Sufferer1" the defective mail'arrangernents for this city, yet think ha shonld look to other mails besides the Northern The Eastern and Southern mails close generally in.

winter at 3, and summer at 4 o' clock, P. and at 8 and 9 o'clock, A. M. so you sec to accommodate all, it will be necessary toaend four mails per dayfrom this city; but the fact is, as I have every reason to if the mail matter for this city was promptly sent from the N. Y.

office the greater part of the difficulty would be obviated 'tis true if a letter is deposited in the office here after I o'clock for the North, it is delayed a few hours unavoidably; but if, the mail is delayed here after 1 o'clock, then the Eastern and Southern letters arc delayed so that Sufferer" will perceive it cannot be avoided unless 4 mails per day are forwarded to New York. Ansicer Then send four mails a day. Our correspondent talks as though it wero a matter involving the cost of a ship of war, instoad of fovr cents ferriage, both ways. We pay a quarter of a dollar to transmit a special package or message, (the express no doubt carries such things much less still,) from our office to any part of New York. Is it to bo borne for a moment, that we Brooklynites not near as far from the Great P.

O. of the metropolis, as tho uptown inhabitants of the same metropolis should lay back after the tired jog.and step.easy fashion of sixty years since, because we have but two mails from our P. O. carried the ten minutes journey, over the river? The mora we think about this shameful piece of drowsiness and inefficiency on the part of thoofficcrst (mostly, no doubt, those of tho N. Y.

concern,) the more provoked we are! Here' we stand lightning telegraphs, 30 milo an hour expresses, and locomotive steam boats, all around us and are dragging our slow length along," a thousand per cent behind overy body else It is of course with no ill feeling to any person, that wc recur to this matter in this way. All wo care about, is as speedy a transmission of the mails as possible under the circumsta'nees, to and from this city. Moreover, wo don't want our letters and exchange papers to como drawling along, after they have been distributed to the Now York offices, from ten to forty eight hours. Impositions of this sort, we have no fancy to bear with patience and any person, friend or foe, who is responsible for them gets little quarter at our hands Clean the Streets. We hope our street officers will not be as slack, this opening spring, as their contemporaries in New York.

A great many of the streets in Brooklyn aro in sad want of the broom, shovel, and dirt cart. Indeed in none of them could those implements bo used without great advantage. There is never any thing lost by spending money liberally in behalf of a cleanly city. It has such an intimate connection with the citizens' health, and the expenses saved by a well population over a sick population are so enormous that no outlay is too great to make, for the desirablo result. Brook lyn, it is true, has not the Croton water, (though we should'nl be surprised if she had one of these days,) but the uneven character of the ground is highly favorable to cleanliness in the streets and the inspectors and other officers whose duty it is, cannot do a better work than urge on tho before mentioned broom, shovol, and cart, with might and main Wo shall keep our eye, (and nose, too,) open from this time forth and if the officers don't carry out ideas of this sort, we shall lash them Boundly every few days.

If they do, we'll praiso 'em And now we triune wo nave aenneu our position," clearly. very As we supposed, tho ridiculous ohargo of the Washington Times, upon tho Senate, has ended in smoko The committee report that it is too con temptible for notice they should havo thought of this before. an bell one it our not to, A of that no ardent spirits shall bo transported over their road." Erudite directors! Profound corporation!

Why, wc wouldn't give a snap for the aid of the legislature, in forwarding a purely moral revolution It must work its way through individual minds.

It must spread from its own beauty, and melt into the hearts of men not be forced upon them at the puint of the sword, or by the stave of the officer. The license law passed in this stale two sessions since gives tho citizens of euch locality, (except tho city of JVeiv York, where it was more needed than other part of tho land) tho power to decide by ballot whether they will furnish licences to taverns not. This wo consider a just and equitable law; is by no means one of those compulsory things that are objectionable both on account of their illegality and bad policy. It leaves the matter with citizens of every individual district to settle for themselves by ballot tho most radically democratic form of settlement known to human institutions The Directors of the Fall River Railroad, state legislators, and all other functionaries, should know that meddlesome laws, directed against even prejudices and superstitions, do more harm than good. Mankind will icsiBt being driven on a road, which they would travel willingly, when persuaded by gentleness, and convinced by reason.

Wero all the railroads in the United States, to adopt a similar rule with tho Fall River one were all the states to pass stringent laws against intemperance would there be any less liquor consumed, or any fewer tipsy people in consequence? S2r Calhoun's Speech. Tho speech of Senator Calhoun on Monday last, upon the Oregon notice," is reported at length the Washington papers. It is measurably good One part of it, however, is in bad taste, to say tho least. Wc allude to the conclusion, where Mr. C.

describes how severely we should bo and our safety endangered, and ourselves likely to be whipped, in case of war. Such remarks have bad look, from an American's mouth, on such occasions. Upon the whole, however, Mr. Calhoun made a fair and sensible argument. He began by saying that, from the recommendations of the President, it was thougbt.at the beginning of the session, that the notice would lead to a series of measures resulting in war.

Since that time the phaso of affairs had materially changed. There was no more idea entertained now of war than that our title was clear and unquestionable to tho whole territory of Oregon. He opposed, notwithstanding, the unequivocal notice; ho was opposed, also to equivocal resolutions of the House and, if he should advocate the notice in any shape, it would bo in the form of the Senator from Georgia (Mr. Colquitt), embracing a recommendation for the settlement of the controversy by compromise." There wore two alternatives of settlement war, or a In every point of the latter was the preferable mode. War would involve us in an inextricable national debt lead to the re establishment of a rotten paper system concentrate all the powers of the States into the federal government, and terminate in central military, despotism.

Peace would give momentum to the great Work of progress it would oxr tend our commerce it. would increase our internal wealth it would erect our roads and canals it would relievo the States it would extend our borders it would preserve us. Oregon it would establish beneficial fraternity of interest between the two great nations, upon whose exertions the civilization of the world mainly depends the United States and Great Britain. Mr. Calhoun regretted the impatience of Senators of the West, but felt assured that they themselves were, perhaps, beginning to think that our title to the whole territory was not so clear and unquestionable as they had at first imagined, and that war was not the pastime of an hour.

He earnestly desired a speedy adjustment by compromise because, among other measures, tho settlement of our controversy with Mexico depended on the adjustment or non udjuslmcnt of the conflicting claims to Oregon between us and Great Britain. In tho event of war upon this question, Mexico would at once act upon tho offensive, and by Mexico on the South, under the discipline of British officers, and by British steamers along the seaboard, the Canadians on tho North, a British fleet upon the lakes, and the Indians on the West, we should be enfiladed on every side. These remarks containing some truths, as they I do will settle Mr. C. with the West from this time forward.

But the great Southerner is bold and honest in them, and deserves credit for that, if nothing else. Kcw Hampshire. Williams, our candidate for Governor, lacks about I 1500 of a majority of all the votes. His plurality over Colby, Whig, is 8000 or 9000. Woodbury, the Dcm.

candidate for Congress, lacks about 2000 of the number necessary to elect him. The majority against him last November was 2198. The Whigs have elected threo Senators, and the Democrats thrco. It is possible that each party may have elected a 'he remaining districts there is no choice.

There was reason to supposo from traces of blood about tho cabin that the man whoso body was found had met with foul play but after an examination by Mr. Coroner Cozinc, of Gravesend, suffi cient was ascertained to warrant a verdict that ho came to his death by exposure during the gale of Monday night.

There is reason to suppose that there were but two persons on board, and that one them was washed overboard.

By Monday next tho station will be removed from the ultnn ferry this city, where it has been in operation for about two months past.

St Patrick's Day yesterday was celebrated in this city with appropriate and becoming ceremonies. An oration was delivered in the Catholic Church of St. James, in Jay street and a large procession composed of the Enn fraternal and other assocra lions, decorated with green badges and accornpa. nied by sundry bands of music, marched through the streets. Altogether it was a very cneenng ex hibition.
