day last.
Li1chfeA County Forsign Mission Sociefy.-The
2lst aRniyersaTy Of this association held in this
village on "Wednesday Oflast week. The weather was
% extremely inclemeHi, that not half the usual
number Of people, especially from neighboring towns
were great proportion Of
the seats 10 the lower par; the house were occup
ed. The exercises the occasion, ia our humble
apprehension, were much more interesting and in
strGctive 'I'an on the preceding anniversary. The
President Of the Society, Hon. John Cotton Smith,
not being present, Rev. Mr.. Beach, Of The Vice
Presidents, presided. After introductory prayer by
the Rev. Mr.. Goodman, addresses appropriate TO the
occasion were delivered BY The Rev. MIR. Beach Of
Winaead, Rev. Ms. Hickok Of I-itchfeld, who intro
duced resolution and accompanied it with per-
tinen. statistical facts; by the Rev. Mr. A0d,ews Of
Cornwall, and the Rev. Mr. Bardwell, an agent the
American Board. and formerly a Missionary in India.
The address Of Mr.. Bariwel wac uncommonly inter-
csting. II consisted principally Of details Of facts g-
ven in an unassuming and unpreending manner, with
regard the religion and the customs and Of
the Hindooe iMterspersed with such remarks and
aeciions as the occasion seemed to demand. There
was none that theatrical and attempt TO catch
the popular applause which we have witnessed ON at
least one occasion, and which we think at all times un-
becoming in devoted minister Of the gospel.
AZ we did not remain until the Officers of the Soc-
ETY. for the ensuing year were chosen, and have not
been furnished with the names, Of course cannot
give them We understood, however, that with one
or two exceptions the officers Of last year were re-
chosen.
CONGRESS. II will be by reference to the pro.
cedng page that have given the substance of the
Bill introduced into the Senate on the 18th inst by
Mr.. Clay, for the purpose, ostensbly, Of efec,ing
compromise between the apparent conflicting interests
Of the North and the South; and give South Caro-
lima chance Of receding from her multiplying positions
without, as Nj. Clay says, being "degraded dsgra
ced." We have accompanied the sketch Of the bill
with some OF The remarks Of Mr. Clay the OCCASION
we'll as what said by MIR. Calhoun. On the
next day, the bill was after considerable debate, re-
ferred to q select committee, consisting of Messrs
Clay Calhoun, Grundy, Webster Clayton, Rives and
Daliasas powerful array Of talent We recollec
ever having seen Oh one committee.
On the l3,h, Mr.. Webster introduced series of re-
solutions expressive of his feelings with regard TO the
Tariff. and with the desire, if possible, to settle some
principles ia relation to il.
On the same day, bill was introduced by Mr. Polk,
autoriz ing the sale Of the Bank stock owned by the
Government in the Bank of the U. 8. A short and
spirited debate took place, in which Messrs. Wickle
Insersoll, Wamough, and Polk took part-whsn Mr..
Whiulesey moved the previous question, and the bill
rejected by a vote Of l02 10 81. This has been
darling plan with the Presidcnt--and are glad it
has been thus promptly put down.
Mr. Verplanck's Tariff Bill has made but little pro.
gress in the House the past week.
The Revenue BW-rhe bill for enforcing the coll
lection Of the Revenue 10 still before the Senate. On
Thursday, BE. Rivss, Of Virginia, made speech ia
favor If lhe Bill, in which he took strong and decided
ground opposition 20 the nMlii6cation doctrines,
reading that they were utterly Inconsistent with the
resosded opinions and Views Of Washington, Jefer-
son, MadsOn John Taylor Of Car one, and others Of
the taers toaness, and defe nders Of the ConftiiH-
sion. The speech s spoken OF as having excited n
deep sensation. II was expected that MIR. Cahoun
would address the Senate in the evening in reply tot
Mr.. Rives.-COa. CourGnf.
(Mr. Calhoun commenced his reply on Friday spoke
about nm hour and half, aud account ofbeing nm
well, did pot finish. He probably concluded on Sat
