The question of foreign immigration was brought before Congress on the 21st, and legislation for its protection and direction urged. In the Senate, on the 23d, Mr. Wilson offered a resolu tion, which, on his own motion, was laid over, instructing the Committee on Military Affairs to inquire whether Gen. Burnside has formed any plans for an advance since the battle of Fredericksburg, and if so, whether such plan has been interfered with by any subordinate General or any one else. A communication was received from the President, transmitting the report and correspondence relative to the exportation of arms for the French army in Mexico. The bill to provide for the comfort of sick and wounded soldiers and the efficiency of the medical department was passed, with several amendments. The House went into committee of the whole on the bill to provide ways and means for the support of the Government, several sections of which were adopted. An amendment that none of the money raised under this act shall be expended in the purchase of negro slaves, or as a compensation for slaves emancipated by any State, or for arming. equipping, and supporting fugitive slaves, was rejected by a vote of . ... 29 to 72. Mr. Hooper's substitute for the bill was rejected by a vote of 31 to 79. Without arriving at any decision, he committee rose. The second advance of the Army of the Potomac across the Rappahannock has been put off, partly from the state of the weather and partly from alleged ineffi- ciency in the Quartermaster's department. The following are the latest despatches : . " Head-quarters, Friday. Jan. 23. " The tempestuous weather since Tuesday last, and the consequent impassable state of the roads, have rendered any advance of the Army of the Potomac beyond the Rap pahannock a matter of utter impossibility. The same causes so delayed the transportation of the pontoons and heavy artillery to the designated points as to prevent a sur prise of the enemy at the points proposed to cross. This afternoon the clouds broke away, and the influence of the sun is telling' favourably upon the soil. Several Paymas ters have already arrived, bringing joy to the soldiers and relief to their families at home. A. delay in the payment of those actively employed may occur." " Washington, Friday, Jan. 23. " We are in possession of full details from our corre spondents with the Army of the Potomac of the late pro posed and partially executed movement against the enemy. It ',appears that the tremendous rains have so terribly affected the roads that it was utterly impossible to move artillery, even if the infantry could be got over, added to which fact, the Quartermaster's Department, as usual. when any important movement is being executed, was be- hind with its supplies. The consequence is, that the order for an advance has been changed to one for retrograde, and it is possible that the Army of the Potomac has executed marches of advance and retreat, and are now again mostly in their old cantonments, nothing damaged by conflict with the rebels they had no opportunity to meet. No blame falls en General Burnside, who, had his plans been fol lowed, would have made the movement weeks ago." Previous to moving, General Burnside had issued the following address to the Army : " Headquarters, Army of the Potomac, Camp, near Falmouth, Virginia, Jan. 20, 1863. " (General Orders, No. 7.) 'The Commanding-General announces to the Army of the Potomac that they are about to meet the enemy once more. The late brilliant actions in North Carolina, Ten nessee, and Arkansas divided and weakened the enemy on the Rappahannock, and the auspicious moment seems to havo arrived to strike a great and moral blow at the rebel lion, and to gain that decisive victory which is due to the country. Let the gallant soldiers of so many brilliant bat tle fields accomplish this achievement, and a fame the most glorious awaits them. "The Commanding General calls for a firm and united action of officers and men, and, under the providence of God, the Army of the Potomac will have taken the great step toward restoring peace to the country and the Government to its rightful authority. " By command of Major-General Burnside. (Signed) " LEWIS RICHMOND, " Assistant Adjutant-General, (Official.) " EDWARD M. NEILL, "Captain and Acting Assistant Adjutant-General." A correspondent, writing from Acquia Creek, on the 21st, says— "lf the storm continues with its present fury during the day, the Rappahannock, the Rapidan, and all the small 8 streams, which we will have to cross before Gen. Lee can , ry , be outflanked, will be swollen so that the ex p er i men t will be a very hazardous one, and its success very ' doubtful. Not having, on account of the storm, been able to reach the main body of the army, I cannot state definitely how far the initiatory steps of the pre sent movement have progressed ; but from those who left the front this morning, and were not encumbered with a horse and his trappings, and reached here in time for the Washington boat, I learn that the orders which were issued last evening were this morning counwter.- ri v a e i r l up on o n dnßb eatet butting te e t iopnrgl gr an d anai nond.sappurodeue G eneral manded on account of the severity of the storm, and II not probably be given out again for several d i a t y r s e . ra li rts whose side Providence is in this sudden check hay : W with be seen.

This morning the little creek had risen to anunprecedented height, had burst over its banks, had covered the swamp up to the foot of the bluffs, had undermined the railroad, and cut us all of from communication with the belligerent world. All the sick in the Army of the Potomac have been brought to Wind mill Point, three miles below Acquia Creek s and are well protected from the storm by large hospital tents. Between 4,000 and 5,000 are thus provided for, and accommodation will soon be ready for 1,000 more. To one unfamiliar with the Army of the Potomac. 5,000 sick would seem a large number; but instead of being large it is very small, and is not one-half that of last winter, when the same army was as.

If the storm abates, and the streams can be swam or forded, I hope to be with the army before sunset." The Chicago Times has an account of the attack and capture of Arkansas Post : "The main position of the enemy was attacked with the three iron-clad gunboats, Louisville, Cincinnati, and Mound City, and three light draughfs, the latter having entered the Arkansas River from a branch of the White River, which approaches the fort forty miles above the mouth. Arkansas Post is a place situate at a favourable locality for defence, on a bend of the river, of irregular, horseshoe shape. It has for some months been much boasted of by the Confederates as a spot so fortified as to be extremely formidable. At a point one mile below the fort, where persons in the fort were unable to see what was done, troops were diserab.irked. Gun boats proceeded up the river, taking - positions above the foci , as welt as below, so as to be able to rake it with their heavy pieces. The land forces, meantime, arrived. The rear di vision, under Sherman, found, in proceeding back to some distance, that a bayou hindered progress in the way de sired, and he returned and chose a route more favourable for intended operations. Another division, meantime, took up a line of march somewhat nearer the locality of the fort, and escaped the obstruction of the bayou. Other obstruc tions existed, however, in the shape of rifle-pits, which it became necessary to flank by advancing to the furthest extremity from the river. This was not done without con siderable skirmishing, which consumed the remainder of Saturday. There was some loss in these proceedings, and about 60 of the enemy, most of whom were wounded, got into the Federal lines by mistake, and were taken prisoners. It was nearly dark before the Federal forces had so far ad vanced as to have the fort in full view, ready for storming the next morning. While their operations were pro ceeding on land, the gunboats had taken positions, and a little before dark a smart artillery fight took place, which the early closing in of darkness cut short. The first shell fired by the enemy struck a lieu tenant of the 113th Illinois, shattering his leg. The next morning the land forces found that the enemy, having lost their rifle-pits, had thrown up new intrenchments. These they proceeded to attack, and also to secure a position above the fort, as well as below. The ground near the fort was found divested of timber, except in a particular portion, which was useful for cover, and prostrate trees and brush were so disposed as to present the greatest possible amount of obstruction. As the two sections of attacking land forces advanced, they decreased the distance between them more and more, approaching the position of surrounding the fort. A reinforcement of 2,000 men arrived to the rebels from Fort Charles, on the White River, 25 miles distant by land ; and it was with difficulty this force made a junction with the main body of the rebels. They succeeded, however, by taking advantage of the shelter offered by a ravine. Mean time the casual firing of the artillery from gunboats and in reply, which had been partially suspended by the necessity of supporting the land operations, grew more vigorous, and at one o'clock heavy firing commenced:between the fort and gunboats, and was sustained three hours and a half so incessantly that there were only occasional intervals at which the strained ear for a second was relieved from the thundering roar. The casemating of the fort presented a formidable appearance, which seemed to some extent to justify the boasting that had been made of its impenetra bility. There was a thickness of three feet of solid timber covered with railroad iron, the whole looking as if it could resist the utmost force of cannon shot. To the deep dis may of the defenders of the Post of Arkansas, the balls from the monstrous guns of the boats shattered their most formidable defences, and penetrated and demolished strong holds they had reared with so much skill. The battered rails of iron came tumbling down, and the strong ribs of timber were blown with fatal effect among the ranks they were to have saved. Dismounted guns fell into common ruin, prov ing the dreadful power of gunboats with their mighty ar maments. The second shot fired by the Federals at the commencement of the contest of three hours penetrated a casement of the fort and killed seven men. By another shot, one of the enemy's caissons was exploded, causing the death of six men and nine horses. With their casements demolished, their defences exposed to a raking fire never surpassed for violence, and storming parties closing in upon their rear, but one course was open to the enemy. After a loss of about 200 men killed, wounded, and missing, and somewhat heavier on the part of the attacking party, the commander of the post, General Churchill, surrendered at half-past 4 p.m. General M'Clernand took the whole force, about 4,800 prisoners, 1,200 or 1,400 of whom were on the sick list. The gunboats, which had inflicted so much damage, escaped without serious injury, Prisoners declared that if our arrival had been postponed another day they would have given us a much stiffer fight, as large reinforcements would have joined them. In reply to ques tions as to the number of men and state cf fortifications at Pine Bluff, Little Rock, and pointe on White River, the prisoners advised interrogators to go and count and observe for themselves. It is thought probable St. Charles, on White River, will be next reduced, then Pine Bluff, and finally Little Rock. In addition to the above I have seen a slip from the Memphis Enquirer, which says two regi ments of rebels arrived at the fort the morning after the surrender, and entered with flags flying and drums beating, supposing it was still held by the rebels. They were cap tured, of course, swelling the list of prisoners to something over 5,000," The following has been received at the Navy Depart ment : " Cairo, Illinois, Jan. 21.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Now York Snipp . ily and Commercial List of Jan 24. The aspect cf affairs in commercial and financial circles remains substantially the same. The uneasiness en gendered by the anomalous condition of the national finances, and the probable passage of the Financial Bill framed by Secretary Chase and the Committee of Ways and Means continues without perceptlle abatement, though the people are becoming wearied of the unsettled condition of things growing out of it. The wonderful movement in Stock Securities, though occasionally checked for the mo ment, continue to form the mast conspicuous characteristic of these eventful times. The publication of the estimate of the Commissioners of Internal Revenue, coupled with the wonderful developments which have been made in regard to our resources during the past year, is calculated to con tract to some extent the evils arising from the distracted state of the finances, though, in view of the probable crea tion of 300,000,000 dols. of Legal Tender Notes, it is hardly to be expected that the general inflation can soon be per manently checked.

Fs.TRAORDINARY WIND AND HIGH TIDE.— yesterday, soon after 12 o'clock, the wind which had been blowing moderately from the westward, backed into the W.S.W., and increased nearly to a gale, con tinuing to gain in strength over the ebb. At half-past four o'clock the gale—for at this time it had assumed the cha racter —was accompanied by a thick and drifting rain, the tide in the river rose to a very unusual height at high water, inundating low-lying water- side premises on both sides of the river, and at quarter ebb the current was so rapid that the upward bound steamers were unable to make headway against it, and several vessels were driven from their moorings, causing many collisions. At sunset the wind increased in violence, and the strong indications of a rough and stormy night induced the masters of vessels in the river to make " all snug" as a preventive of damoa:ia !; and as it was expected that the tide of this morning ,wwer rise much hi g h e r than that of yesterday, work rn e employed in constructing dams, ac., to prevent ae: over flow. THE NAVY. VALETTA, San. 31 :—Her Maj troopship Megcera, Commander which arrived from Corfu on the 23d inst., left port for Gibraltar and Portsmouth on the 27th. Her Majesty's paddle-wheel frigate Magicienne, 16, Capt. his Serene Highness the Prince of Leiningen, which left Malta on the 24th inst. for Corfu, is to proceed thence to Messina, and is expected back here by the end of the week. Her Mejesty's screw steamship Meeanee, 60, Capt. G. Wodehousc, ar rived on the 26th inst. rrom Plymouth and Gib raltar. Being new on the station she fired the usual salutes, which were immediately returned. She had several slight cases of scarlatina on board, which were removed to hospital before she was admitted to pratique. She is to leave this week for Naples, but nothing is as yet said of the return of theecre w steamship St. George, 84, Capt. the Hon. F. Eger ton, having Prince Allied on board, which has been stationed there for some time. The screw gunboat Alacrity, 4, Commander J. Baird, left. Malta on the 26th inst. for Beyrout, to relieve the - Wanderer, 4, Commander M. C. Seymour, and the Surprise, 4, Commander W. H. White, screw gunboats, which are to return to this island. The screw steam fri gate Phoebe, 35, Capt. D. A. Fortescue, which has been out for a cruize to Syracuse, communicated with Malta harbour on the 23d inst., and after land ing Commander J. Baird, stood out to sea again, and returned into port on the 25th. She is to pro ceed early this week to the Piraeus, to relieve the screw steamship Queen, 74, Captain C. F. Hillyar, which will then proceed to Corfu, and, after staying there a short time, will probably return to the Piraeus. Her Mejesty's screw steam frigate Liffey, 39, Capt. G. Parker, left the Piraeus on the 21st inst. for Calamata and Malta, and is hourly see; ected la re. The Queen, having on board the :lion. Mr. Scarlett, her Ma jesty's Minister at Athens, returned to the Piraeus on the 20th inst. from a visit to Paros, Nauplia, and other ports. Everywhere marks of the great en thusiasm with which the English are now regarded were displayed by the inhabitants. lam informed that Mr. Scarlett has reported the state of the coun try generally was more satisfactory than had been represented, although isolated cases of brigandage continued to occur, perpetrated, no doubt, by the prisoners who were released at the commencement of the revolution. At Patras and Missolongi, for instance, it was considered necessary to make a re quisition for the presence of English ships of war, and the screw frigate Shannon, 35, Captain 0. J. Jones, and the screw sloop Chanticleer, 17, Com mander C. Stirling, were accordingly despatched thither from Corfu. An unfortunate and fatal occurrence took place while the Queen was at Nauplia. One of her seamen, named John Rontree, was getting into a shore boat to return to his ship, when some dispute arose between him and the waterman of another boat, who struck the seaman with an oar on the back of the head, which caused almost immediate death. The Greek was at once arrested and conveyed to prison. The body of the ill-fated sailor was interred on shore on the follow ing morning, followed to the grave by a number of marines and bluejackets, and most of the officers of the ship. The Pheebe also lost a man at Syracuse, named Henry Nicholls, captain of the maintop, who, while assisting in sending down top-gallant yards and top-gallant mast, fell from aloft. A sub scription was raised on board the ship for his aged mother, who was dependent on him; Her Majesty'e paddlewheel despatch vessel Psyche, 2, Lieut.-Com mander Sterne, having completed her repairs, coals to-night, preparatory to leaving to-morrow morn ing for Corfu, where she will remain a few days, and then proceeds to Constantinople, to relieve the iron paddlewheel sloop Trident, 6, C. J. Balfour, which returns to Malta. The English schooner yacht Flirt, belonging to Sir Percy Shelley, re turned to the Piraeus on the 10th instant, and is still there. The Turkish steamer Vassitaj Tigiaret, Capt. G. B. Bianchi, returned yesterday from Tri poli, whither she had proceeded from Constanti nople, to relieve the garrison there, disembarking some 300 Turkish soldiers,ard bringing away about 400. Her Majesty's screw steamship Marlborough, 131, Capt. W. H. Stewart, C. 8., bearing the flag of the Commander-in-Chief, went out yesterday with the Admiral for gun practice, and having also on board Major-Gen. Wood, C. 8., commanding the First Brigade in this garrison. A fatal accident occurred a few days ago to Mr. Alexander Hender son, second mate of the English merchant steamer Memnon, which had arrived that day from Liver pool. While a bale of goods was being hauled up to be discharged from on board the steamer on a lighter, the rope gave way, and the bale fell upon the second mate, fracturing his skull and killing him on the spot. His body was conveyed the same afternoon to the Ta Braxia Cemetery, followed by the com mander and crew of the steamer to which he belonged." It is reported at Plymouth that the Indus, the guardship of steam ordinary in Hamoaze, is to be used as a receiving-ship, in the place of the Royal Adelaide, 26, which now carries the flag of Port-Admiral Sir Houston Stewart, K.C.B. It is further stated that the sailing ship Canopus, 84, will be attached to the Indus, and that cadets from the training ship Britannia, 8, at Port land, will be sent to the Royal Adelaide for disposal. The screw steamship Princess Royal, 86, having been removed from the north basin in Keyham steamyard to the basin inDevonport dockyard, will be placed to-day in dock to be repaired and have her bottom examined. Directions have been received at the Royal Engi neer establishment, Chatham, by Col. Harness, C. 8., for a number of masons, bricklayers, carpenters, and men of some other trades to be selected from the companies at headquarters to augment the 7thcom pany, which has recently arrived from Nova Scotia, in order to raise it to its proper strength: The men ordered for transfer to the 7th company are to be complete in their fieldworks. Reinforcements are also to be selected from the depot companies of Royal Engineers at Chatham to augment the 4th, 15th, and 18th companies, now serving in Canada. A considerable portion of the sea wall at the entrance to the Medway, running in the direction of Chatham harbour, has been washed away by the rough sea and high tides which have recently been experienced along the south-cast coast. This has caused not only considerable damage to the barrier which is constructed to keep out the sea, but submerged the whole of the adjacent lands. An examination of the structure since the accident by the officials connected with the War Department has resulted in the discovery that the wall in several Puns afe, and will require careful re a c r o t n s sis r ex tends for a consider a bl e dis tance, including a lar g e p ortion of the Island of shepp y, and for nearly the whole extent is much teuxectieoend. exceedingly ex posed.

The primary cause of these breaches, which, unfortunately, are now of frequent occurrence, is the high angle in which the outer face of the wall terminates and the varied ma terial of which the facing is built. In many places the wall terminates in an angle of 70 deg., with no support behind it except an embankment of loose earth. Instead of this the slope should have been carried seaward gradually some 200 yards, while at the same time the wall should have been well sup ported with a revetment of substantial masonry. While the present structure remains the War De partment will be called upon to spend some hun dreds yearly in useless repairs, and at the same time the entrance to Chatham harbour will become more intricate than ever from the gradual formation of banks of sand and mud. The present condit ion of the sea wall, for the security of both public and private property, r equires the immediate attenti on of the War Department, it being now apparent that nothing less than an entire reconstruction of the whole, by means of convict labour or otherwise, will be effectual, a nd lessen w hat at present is deemed inevitable —the filling up of the Medway by the formation of innumerable shoals, Importing Tea without colour on the leaf pre vents the Chinese passing off inferior leaves as in the usual kinds. liorniatan's Tea i s unco l oure d, therefore, always good alike.
