 Amopgdhe proceedings of Congress, we have with pleasure noticed the following and hope that relief may be speedily granted to Mr. Monroe.
 MT. Rives, with permission, presented memo rial from citizens of Aibemare county praying Congress to reconsider the claims of Mr. Monroe. The memo rial came from the immediate neighbors of tLe yene Tiabe man, who were touched with sympathy see ing the last remnant of his property taken from him in discharge of debts contracted by him in the service Oi the country.

 Mss Frances Wright.-T lump of absurdity and nGdeliy is yet lecuring before the thronging popu- lace ofNew-York. The Masonic Hall not being suf. fciently large and spacious to accommodate her dear friends" she has made an arrangement with the managers of the Bowery Theatre, where she now holds forth in dulcet strains from the stage On the
 first night of her exhibition in that place, the house was filled to Overfowing, though but few of her own sex were present. On the succeeding nights, how- ever, to their shame he it spoken, the dress boxes became toerably well filled with well dressed and h said intelligent females 1t does appear asion- slng that any females of respectable standing cieiy even in our large cities should so far lose sight of that estmabe trait in their characters nIoesy, t. be the unblush,ng auditors of her de- estable doctrines. But .such things are,' and we only pity the delusion and natuaon under which they labor while listening to the anathemas which Miss Wright constantly hurting against the nstitu- tons of matrimony, aud of religion. <.
 We copy from the Providence Cadet the following brief sketch of the origin, edacation c of this sin- gular young woman, and congratulate her hearers that she is not an American.
 Miss Wrigh,'s father was a native of Lanarkshire in ScOtland he wenttO the East Indies, made small fortune, came home an old bachelor, married lady in the south of Scotland or England, and in few years left her widow with two daughters. The for :. tune Of the father was about 900, and was settled the two girls equally. They were educated under the care of a maiden aunt in England. Miss Frances showed, from her infancy, great intellectual powers which her aunt took much pa,ns to cultivate. About this time the new ideas engendercd by the French fanH sEA gf England and Scotland. The Edinburgh Review was bursting into existence, and yousg Miss Frances was great reader of 'hat journal, together with every liberal work of tic kimd IL is also said that Profess Milne, who, we believe, succeeded the celebrated Reid in the University of Glasgow took great delight in teaching the young lady the Metaphysics then, fashionable."
 Miss Wright in conjunction with one or two of her 'New-Harmopy proselytes. has established newspa- per in New-York to promulgate her new-fang,ed he- resies. The first two numbers have appeared. bat we have not seen them. The Spectator speaks of the paper in the following strain :-" The blasphe nous journal has appearcd and more empty, insig niicant, and tedious paper--a paper evincing more intellectual mbecilit has been sent forth in our city. No wt,-no reasoning,-no facts--no theories mo sense, are to be seen: no writing above the me- diorrty ofa schoolboy's theme; nothing to save the reader from unmigased ennni, but an occasional au- dacio"s profanity, which exces, for the poor crca- lures whose infa a'cd guilt has produced it, at once the readers horror and compassion-

 0'We are gratifed to learn from various paris of the State, both by the papers and from private leitcrs that the people are ripe for reform in Congress siona Delegation. That there is the most imperative necessity for it, is admitted by every candid man. That the State of Connecticut has now a representa- ton in both branches of Congress, in which but two, or at most three, individuals he fouRd who reflect upOP their constituents the least credit is as huma- ting as it is unquestionabie. With the afiuence of intellect that has always characterized Connecticut, is she to be restricted to two, three of talents in that assembly where the essence of the strength and wisdom and worth of the nation ought to be concentrated7 We trust 0ot.
 Let those who have at heart the true dignity and interest Of the Sate throw aside all paltry sectional and party feelings in this matter, and come forward and act from impulse, and we may then hope to Connecticut assuIne that rank in our National Councils to which she is entitled, and which she filled som0 twenty years since.
 What boots it whether man be selected from one part of the State, another ?-whether he has hth erto been termed Federast or Democrat Would the independent an1 enlightened Electors of Fair field County feel much diEgraced by the election of such man as Ebenczcr Young, as his immediate constituentsi And would not the election of yABEZ w. HUNTIRGToN, be hailed with ae much pride and satisfaction by the citizens of New-Lon ion County Jas by his friends and neighbors in LitchGeld?
