"Signs Of ahe Tme,."We have copied an interesting
article under this head, from the National lnellgencer
which throws add onal light upon the nature OF the mate
rias which compose he opposition 10 the present admin

request readers to give that attention TO the exrac
which the facts that il dscloses entitle it They will
then we believe, be more than convinced that the
men who have a,ayed themselves against Mr. Adams and
his cabinet acting from selfish motiyes that they are
nnaenced by principe and that far from having the
real good Of their country heart in their opposition to
its rules and all their measures they actuated only BY
that unconquerabe desire to get into the places OF those
who have been preferred before them, which operates up
OH all ambitious oGce-seekers.

Mammoth Of Wanmoths.-A Columbus (Ohio)
paper states that boat which had arrived al Steu
benville, had on board the bones of nondescript
animal, one of which was 90 feet in length, 8 in
width, and weighed upwards of 1900 lbs. The back
bone 16 inches in diameter, and the ribs feet
in length. 1t is calculated from the size Of the
bones that the animal, when living, must have been
about so feet in length 90 to &c feet in width, and
about 90 feet in height; and it must have weighed
at least go tons. These bones were found near
the Mississippi river, iii Louisiana, and form the
greatest natural curiosity ever beheld. This ami
NAL must have as far transcribed the mammoth
in size, as the mammoth common dog.

The endorsements into which the house of
Lippincotts, of Philadelphia, was brought by the
heavy advances which it, in good faith. made on
certain quantities Of teas was matter OF notori-
ETY. throughout the country, and even became the
subject of paragraphs in the London and other
European Journals. The successful issue to which
it has brought its affairs, ought to be extensive
y known and we doubt not the communication
Of the fact will afford unmixed satisfaction to the
numerous friends and correspondents of this
house, both at home and abroad. During the past
year it has paid debts to the amount OF seven hun
dred thousand dollars; and it has very extern
sive solid capital remaining, quite as much as IT
can employ to advantage in business, in the pre-
sent state Of trade. An old merchant has told US
that he never knew of another house which, when
its scheme of commercial operations was in like
manner deranged, had been able to discharge so
large an amount of demands in so short period
Few commercial houses would indeed have sustain
ed such shock, and have brought their affairs to
such an issue, when deprived for so long time of
the use of great proportion of their circulating
capital. Ph't. dazeffe.

Washington. March 6.-Thc proceedings Of

Session, are full of instruction. The grounds
