Washington, Jars. 20.


 From the proceedings in the House of Representatives yesterday, we infer that it will be late in the Session before the Tariff will come up for discussion in detail. The Committee on Manu- factures declares that it cannot act without the information which the House yesterday voted 10 call upon the Treasury Department for; and the Fi- nancial Committee, by asking for sim liar information, has in effect made the same declaration. It cannot be cxpec- fed that, with all the industry which can be excrted, the reports required for the use of those Committees can be pre- pared at the Treasury in less than two months. Until the reports arc receiv, ed, and printed, the Committees cannot go seriously to work on their separate divisions of the Tariff; and, after get ting under way, it will be necessarily some weeks before they can report ger- erally upon the subject of it's modifica- tion. We should say, then, that the main Debate can hardly be expected to be brought on before the month of A prH, though the merits of the question may be expected to be incidentally de- bated at every opportunity which offers of introducing them.
 Under these circumstances, we sup

These improvements are oc- casloned, first, by all questions of inter- nal politics capable of agitating the mass, being determined, and, second y, tue chances of retaining peace aug menting every day.
 As to the internal question, the near- iy unanimous decision against an hered- itafy peerage has satisfied public opa- ion. The decision is the consequence of the principle of equality which is so strongly rooted in France and which is one of the benefits of the Imperial Go- vernment. We do not know yet wl,e- ther the decision of the Chamber of Deputies will be sent to that of the ac- tual Peers.* The Ministerexpericnees much embarrassment on this point; for, the Chamber of Deputies, regarding themselves as the constitutional power. do not appear disposed 10 accept the d. mendments which the Peers may think proper to make to the 23d article of the Charter; and the Peers are much divi-, ded among themselves, many wishing that the article should be rejected saras ceremonie. Not only will it be very diff. iicult to get out of this strait Cor diIem- ma) but it willbe no easy task to find, at this period, a hundred men in France who combine the talent, the popularity. and the high services, necessary to qual fly them for entering the peerage, and

 We arc much concerned to learn, by Madam Rumor. that our neighbor of the Gazette, Little Billy. is much pestered and harrassed of late, with Ghoas, Hob- gob'ins, the Depii, or something cise.-- Strange noises are said 10 be heard in his house every night. Some say '4he house ashaunted;" by others it Is hinted, that CM Nick is determined to wait no longer, but is bent upon taking immedi- ate possession ofsshis osoa'--dear Linle Bil- iy. But, our own opinion is, if it's Old Nick who is kicking up this dust, that the old gentleman has been, by some hook or crook, drawn intoa political controversy, which will require no ordinary * < to extricate him from, and has selected Bi- ty to defend him.

rreeting ofthe Colonization Society of Virginia, last evening in the CapitoI.--- The Society, heretofore, has met with the most active and decided enmity from many who have recently grounded t!si: s.sss and in future d et,- emies will be among its most efficient advocates. Circumstances have achiev- ed for II, what reason and argument in vain labored to effect. We saw at it's last evening" session, numbers who we dare say found themselves countenan- cing it's proceeding, and contributing to its success with a sort of surprise.
 The meeting was favored with glowing speech from MT. Maxwell, of Norfolk Borough. who described the prosperity of the Colony, depicted the advantages ofthe Country, nd defend
 ssoeiett from
 emles, in vein of happy elocu!on.-. The proceedings of the evening will be published, and. we need not stale
 them here. The numbers in attend- anee were supposed to exceed the een= bined numbers at all preceding meet ings of the Society. IL may be affirm ed with confidence, that the scheme of African Colonization has succeeded. It has now received an impulse which cannot fail to carry it on to triumph. It is thus that truth and reason overcome prejudice, and although oppressed by difficulty at first, when aided by perse- yerance and diligence, fail not to suc- ceed at fast.
