Captain Stephen Decatur. deceased, and others,
was read twice, and committed to the committee on
Naval Affairs.
The Speaker laid before tho House the following
communications:
A letter from the Secretary ofthc Treasury, trans
hitting a statement Of the compensation annually re-
ceived by each Collector, Naval Officer, and Survey
or Of the Customs, for the wears 1924, 1879 and
1926, and such returns for 1927 as have been re-
ceived; prepared in obedience to the order of the
House of the 10th January ultimo; which was read,
and laid on the table.
A report from the Secretary of State, Of tho names
ofthe persons employed as Clerks in the Department
Of State, in the year 1927, with the compensation al
lowed to each; which report was read, and laid on
the table.
On motion of Mr.. McDufie, the House went into
committee Of the Whole on the State of the Union,
Mr.. Condict in the chair, and took up the bill making
appropriations for the Naval Service for the year
1923. The bill was read through, and then taken
up by sections; and the clause of appropriation for
the pay and subsistence being under consideration
which after some debate the committed rose, report
cd and had leave to sit again.
In the House of Representatives, on "wednesday
Feb. H., Mr. Stevenson, Of Pennsylvania rose and said
as the minutes ofevidence taken before the committee
was now printed, and on the tables Of the House, he
gave notice that on Tuesday hext, a motion would
be made that tie House resolve itself into a committed
Of the whole on the State of the Union, with a view to
consider the bill reported by the Committee on Man
ufactures, entitled "a Bill in alteration of the sever
al acts imposing duties on Imports"
[Thc National Journal says-It is well known thai
the Tariff bill, as reported, meets the decided ~disappro
BATH on ofthe ieal. friends ofthe manufacturing and farm
ing interests, in several ofits provisions and especially
in those relating to wool and woollens. The recommen
dations ofthe Harrisbureh Convention, on these heads
it is believed gave universal satisfaction; and Mr.
Mallary, has accordingly suggested those rccommen'
datons as a substitute for the clause reported by the
Committee. There are several other provisions 0
tho bill, the sole tendency of which is to defeat the
whole object sought by the manufacturers andiArmers
which will hereafter come up for discussion
On motion of MIR. McDutee, the Nav Appro
priation Bill was then taken ur. After the dispose
of several propositions of minor import, and an iner
fectual attempt on the part Of Mr.. Hoffman, (Chair
man ofthe Naval Committee,) to cmbarrass the Adj
ministration by reducing the appropriation recon-
mended. the committee Their rose and reported the
bill but before any order was taken thereon, the
House adj oIrned.

WOODEN CLOCKS AND WHITE OAK NUT-
MEGs.-In our last, We took occasion, to en-
quire of our friend Parmlee, of the Middlescx
Gazette, the price of wooden Clocks and
white oak Nutmegs, maintained in Middle
town, to which he has made the following
good naturcd and witty reply:
sour traffic in nutmegs, is confaed cxclu-
sively to those whrh are made of sassafras.
White oak and elm have long since been pro-
scribed. As to wooden clocks, we have given
over The manufacture of them, and are only
DESTROYS of dlsposing of those which he have
on hand-we can accommodate him at a fair
price. Horn hints and bass wood cucumber
seeds are in steady demand; but our manu-
factories are so extensive that We can supply
Rhode-lsland."
We thank the gentleman for his information,
and request him To forward TO our address,
and we will sell for a far commission, two OF
his "wooden clocks" a few bushels OF " bass
wood cucumbe seed" and a groco of hern
hints," with as little delay as possible.

Mr.. COOPER IN LONDON. The annexed
criticism on Mr.. CooLer's performance ofMac-
beth is copied from the London sun ofDoccm-
Der last:
THE failure Of the American Roscius at
Drury Lane on Monday night, when lac made
his appearance in the chara cter Of Mdcbeth.
was so complete, that it seems like kicking a
man when he is down to expatiato on his
failure. Suffice it to say. that he is so inferior
in the expression of tragic feeling, aud The
adequate personation of tragic character, TO
even our second rate performers, that though
his non-appearance subsequently to his first
night is attributed to Mr.. Wdiidck's indIspos-
ition, we opine that we shall see him no more,
and that the excuse is invented TO soften the
severity Of his fall That a man who has long
been the prime favorite Of our Transatlantic
brcthren-whose departure created a positive
sensation in the United States should he alb
solatoly laughed at on the boards of"ultimatc
appeal" is a striking fact in tho history of
taste. We aprrehend that Mr.. COoper's mer-
its ms a citizen must have paved the way for
his popularity as an actor. 81 appreciate your
conduct, MIR. Cooper The Yankee must have
said to him, Tin locating in the United States
and in adopting true Republican sentiments
therefore I love TO see you on the STAGE
] Mr.. Cooper's farewell TO tho Americans seems
Literary cadet and Rhode-Island statesman. [volume] (Providence, R.I.) 1827-1829, 1828-02-20

TO alludc to this ground of their preference:
he thus Identifies himself. like a true-born cit
izen, with tho state; "The year Of my birth
was The same that gave birth to the American
Republic; I came into the country before
was legally a man. and therefore while the
nation was in its infancy"
In this same address, Mr.. Cooper specula:es
upon the probability of never returning to the
land Of his adoption; we fear that his return
will be indispensable; and we hope the pride
Of the Americans will be so obstinately exas-
perated at the rejection Of their Roscius by
the people Of the old country, that they will be
more in love with him than ever.
OF Mr.. Kean, the same paper remarks:-
We rejoice to find that Rean has taken the
shortes, and most convincing method of prov
ing the falsehood, or at least the exaggeration,
Of the unpleasant reports circulated respecting
the state of his health. He has PLAYED in
three Of his characters during the week; and
in the last part, that Of OtheHo, in which he
excels all others, and even himself, he was
supported by the talents Of Young in Iago and
Charles Kemble in Cassie.
The London papers are without a single ex-
ception, concur in the remarks and
of the foregoing criticism, and though they be
severe.they are in our opinion perfectly correct.
There was a time, when Cooper was, beyond
a doubt, one of the best actors of the times,
but the arrival of dotage, and consequent ply
steal debility, has materially affected him, and
| rendered HIM incapable of dazzling the eye, or
gratifying the senses. Beside physical defects
and infrmi,ies, Mr.. Cooper has OF late acquir-
ed a habit for carelessness, and having been
supported, as the favorite Of the American
stage, he has ceased to struggle to please, and
too often treats his audience with evident dis
respect;-and by his manner seems to say, if
you do not like my acting, and my readings
stay at home and keep your money. He is
irritable, and childish, and should retire from
the profession. Macbeth, is n part in which
he always failed, and We are surprised that he
selected it for his opening at the Metropolitan
Theatre. His trial OF his strength in Eng
land, has resulted in a complete failure. and
we fear he will have to lament, that he ever
crossed the Atlantic, as his i'll success, in Lon
don, will materially affect his future progress
in America.

PROVIDENCE.
HON. ELISHA r. POTTER.

We copy the following paragraph, from the
Newport Republican of Thursday last:
eve wish the fact to be clearly understood
by our democratic friends, that ELISHA X
Potter is extremely DESTROYS that the ere
publican Prox,' so called. should triumph
over the Administration Ticket, and he with
all his train Of confidential satellites, are d.
recting their united energies to the accom-
plshmont of that objective speak not I'M
advisedly-we know this to be true! And
why we ask, is this same Mr. Potter thus any,
ious? 1t is because he, himself, is equally So
lici,ous to he elected next October session, n
Senator to Congress-. We are inclined to think
that at presen; it is unnecessary TO state other
ia cts in order to arouse every fnenc of the
Administration to ardent and unceasing eXer-
tons in favor of The Adams ticket, especially
when We consider that such Republicans az
associate with E. r. Potter, are %exerting them
selves to their uttermost to carry in their three
fayori,e men named in the "Rcpublican Prox, ,
ycleped; to wit-Nathan Brown, WIZ. Whip
pie, and Ezbon Sanford"
'Lisha and John Holmes of Maine-both Of
whom are our political friends, are the most
uneasy mortals in existence. 'Lisha turns his
political coat, four times a year, regularly,
whilst John turns his every fortnight. In the
year 1924, 'Lisha was up to the hub, a Craw-
ford nan - in % he was Adams to the core,
'26 he was for Jackson, '27 for Adams, and in
'2s, we again find him a real Jacksonian cleo
tioneering for Nathan Brown & Co. To aid
| the views of Nathan and his associates, 'Lisha
will make every effort no is master of, and if
he gets them into office, he expects to 90 to
the Senate, to fill the seat now occupied by
Mr.. Knight. But 'Lisha and John are both
down-they are sewed up, politically dead
Peace to their political ashes.
The designs of 'Lisha, are known TO the
people, and must be thwarted, or we shall
meet with a small defeat in the spring cleo.
ton; hence, we call upon all the friends ofthe
administration and beg them to be on the
alert, and to be prepared to support the Ad'
ministration P rox, tooth and nail.
