In the SENATE on Wednesday,

In the SENATE on Wednesday,
Mr. Chambers asked permission to offer res0-
luton, in consequence of the abandonment OF all
hope that the new Code for the District OF CO.
lumtia could be passed at this session. He
Thought that at no session hereafter was 1t likely
that members would 60 through the whole OF the
details Of the voluminous bill which had been
reported. 1t was therefore deemed advisable by
the Committee that the bill should be submitted
duriug the recess to such of the citizens were
interested in tine matter. in order that their sug-
ge>tions might be received for the regulation of
the action at Congress at the next session. He
then offered the following resolution:
ResOired. That the Secretary of the Senate
cause 10 be Published. during the recess Of Con-
grpss. six hundred copies of the system of Civil
and Criminal Laws. reported BY the joint Com.
,nittee appointed for that purpose; and also cause
an index tn the same Ia be made; one c"pv
whereof shall be delivered to each member Of
the next Congress, and the residue to such per-
sons as may be designated by the said joint Com
mittee.
Mr.. Chambers requested the unanimous as
sent of the Senate 10 the second reading Of the
resolution at this time. but 1t was objected to.

Mr. Barbour complained 81 the distrust and
jealousy which ALWAYS existed when any benrh-
cal object was proposed tor the prosperity of this
District. He replied to Mr.. Crais's constliu-
| tional argument by adverting To the constant
practice ol Government in changing interest. aud
imposing taxes for use of money in the hands of
detauiteIs H. dweit upon the absolute aud des-
patI, power II Congress eve, the District. and
argued an the UNLIMITED power IT Congress to be-
neht it, He put the question to the House. as
| CO partners with the District IN Canal property,
whether they would let all tina, had been done IN
that work persh, by refusing aid at this crisis of
the District affairs.
Mr. Cambreieng viewed this bill as substan-
TALLY being measure To aid the Chesapeake aud
Oho Canal. The security offered. amounted in
effect to nothing He protested against appro
praton alter appropriation Tor District, on
which Congress had lav,shed more than any
other portion of the Union. He rendered many
thanks to Mr.. Mardis for his motion.
Mr. Mercer replied to Mr. Cambrelpng. and
denied that the bill had more conhexon with the
promotion of the Canal, than the direction in
the bill that the City should pay the money for
moiey for its stock. 1t did not add one dollar
to the stock Of the company.
He explained the nature of the security TO the
Dutch lenders to the Company. The real OBJ
ject OF the bill, was loan not to the Company
but to the City.
Mr.. NJ. answered Mr.. Craig's constitutional
argument. and insisted that Congress had all the
power in respect to the District, which State
Legislature has to the State, and all the Legis
latures had made loans to their own citizens. =

ILLUSTRATIONS OF sHAKsPEARE.
 A gentleman observed few evenings since, very much to our surprise, that Shaks- peare was not correct delineator of hu man character. We took up the cudgels in defence of the Bard of Avon, who had so frequently furnished us with an antldote to care, and vehemently insisted that al- most every variety of character was faith fully portrayed by Shakspeare's graphic pen. We even went so far as to prove It, although our time Is rather valuable at pres ent, and to furnish a sketch of character from his dramatic works, for the name of every we'll known individual, winch mlgbt be proposed. Accordingly the names of more than fifty distinguished persons were written on slips of paper, and deposited Tn a hat. The same number of extracts from Shakespeare, was also written down on separate piece of paper, and deposited Tn another hat--and the Lottery gas draten by disinterested persons. 1t wiii be per ceived that the blanks and the prizes were pretty equally distributed-and there was as much fairness in the drawing as Is prob ably usual on such occasions. How far our conduct may be deemed censurable for aiding and abetting in such lottery after the Legislative acts, 1t remains for others to decide.
 It will be recollected that we do not hold ourselves responsible for the application of certain passages to certain individuals. II there should be in many instances, a mls- application, 1t must be attributed to chance. Indeed, the wonder is. that so many sketch es of character, taken at random, should apply so happiiy to the master spirits ot the age. ,,.. The following IS the result of this sln- gular lottery

 contents of the two Valames ef the year, exactly 59G have been reprinted ofier US by booksellers, leaving 250 which are ex- eidsiyely iD the 'Library." Though that portion was furnished to the booksellers much below the usual rate, and printed on small sized type, still the price in boolS form was SIP 00-eqaal to seveRteen dol tdrs for the year.
 When the advantages of circulation by mail are considered, and also that, III clubs of five individuals, each gets the work for S4 GO, which difference pays the postage, it must be admitted, on all hands, that it IS the greatest reduction on the usual selling prices of any article ever at tempted, much less eaecufed.4 But the subscriber does not fonnd his claims to public patronage alone on the cheapness of his periodicai. Ihe works published have been of highly literary and very attrac~ tive character, as is proved by second book editions having followed those of atsie Li- brary" with rapidity, and every one of which, even at the advanced price charged in that form, has had most rapid sale.
 The time and attention of literary gentlemen are almost entirely devoted to making selections for the work, and in seeking, from the mass of books in the public institutions of Philadelphia, as well as from the pew books imported from Great Britain, the most interesting and valuable matter; and he has had the pleasure of bringing before the American public sev erai works which otherwise would prob ably not have been reprinted here.
 g 1t Is intended to print only small mum Der over the copies actually subscribed for, those wishing the work arc respectful 1y requested to send their orders as early as possible.
 IS this mode of publication eau be sup ported only by a numerous and punctual list of subscribers, the friends to an eco nomical diffusion of sound literature are called upon for their patronage.
 *** A limited number of the first two volumes, second series, can still be had by those who desire to possess the cheap est selection of new and good books ever offered.

 A YEAR has now elapsed, since the IR subscriber introduced the new me tbod of publishing books iu a periodica al form, so as to be transportable by maiI.-- Sanguiue as was his belief of the advan- tages, to all classes, of this experiment, its success has more than equaited his ex- peotations, and he will enter upon se- eond year with renewed energy and assi- 3a.ty. EsSpstie1oe has sueg ested improve G. meDts which have been already adopted ,; aDd others, as they offer, will he introduc- ed in the course of the ensuing volumes, tending to give additional interest and permanent value to the enterprise.
 What has been done, however, is suffi- cient evidence of what may be again ex- eeuted, and the subscriber believes that a mere recapitulation of facts will be sui hcient to produce conviction of the ad- yantages of his mode of publication, on the minds of those who may aot yet have taken the subject into consideration.

CREDIT OF THE WEST.

The Louisville Public Advertiser informs
us, that the stock of the new bank established
in that place during the last session of the le-
gislature of Kentucky, is ? or 8 per cent. above
par.
We also learn, that the state stock of Ala
bama, put into market for the purpose of rails
ing stock for the new bank in that state has
been disposed of.
The stock of the new bank in Cincinnati
was, at our last advices, fast filling up, and we
have no doubt is all taken.
The legislatures of all the western states will,
we believe, at their next sessions, take meas
ures to make that whole section of the Union
Independent of the bank of the United States.
Notwithstanding the mismanagement of that
institution among them, their credit is entirely
upimpaired, and they may raise as much CAPT
tai for banks as they need, by offering but rea-
sonable terms.-Globe.

An incident of a most painful nature occur,
red on board the steamboat Sydney, as she
stopped here on her way down, Yesterday. An
assault was made upon the President of the
United states by Mr.. Randolph, late of the
navy. At the first blow, we understand all
most hundred arms fell upon the assaiant,
and he was with difficulty rescued and carried
on shore. We are induced to mention this mat
ter, which indeed ought never to be published,
only because we know that reports of it will be
circulated throughout the country, and printed
elsewhere. 1t was an affair of a moment; but
1t is said, that, from the feeling produced it is
wonderful that the assailant escaped with his
life.
So great was the public indignation at this
outrage, that we believe almos! any measure
would have been adopted to express it. The
President was naturally highly excited and
exasperated. He departed amidst the cheers
and good wishes of the great crowd which had
assembled.
In the confusion of the moment, no attempt
was made to arrest Mr. Randolph on the in
slant; but, the court being in session, he was
immediately presented by the grand jury, and
ii bench-warrant forthwith issued for his ap>
prehension.
