IN SENATE-FEsRuARY S.

The joint resolution reported from Inc LII
brary Committee, authorising the President 70
purchase, for the sum of $4,000, number Oh
paintings now on sale in the City of Washing
ton, to be placed in the Presidents House, was
considered and rejected.
The bill for the reorganization of the Post Of
fee Department, was then taken up.-Many a.
mendments were offered and discussed by
Messrs. Ewing, Grundy, Knight, Southard,
Clay, Blbh, and Porter. In the course of the
debate Mr. Porter defended himself from the
charge, made by the President, that he voted
at the last session against appropriating mo-
ney for the relief Of the Post Office Depart
ment He spoke with great warmth, read
from the Journals of the Senate to prove
the charge unfounded, and Indignantly pro-
nounced IT untrue.
Adjourned at half past o'clock.

The House was engaged nearly all day, on
the bill subscribing for stock in the Louisville

WEDDING SToRY.-In the Palatinate of Ger
many, there lived fine young fellow, and only
son Of rich nobleman. He paid his address
es to an only daughter of gentleman quite as
rich as his father. In every particular the
Young couple seemed suitable match. When
all due arrangements, were adjusted between
the parties, the young nob!eman politely adj
dressed the damses father and requested his
daughter in marriage. The old gentleman in
stantly refused, to the no small chagrn of the
Young man. "But why is this denial? what can
induce you to withhold your daughter?" says the
young fellow II am" said the father, "resolv-
ed never to marry my daughter to any man
whatever, who has no trade" My fortune Is
sufficient to support your daughter and myself,
and if that is not sufficient, surely your daugh-
,er,s patrimony will amply supply the lack, re-
plied the sutton Our country is liable to be
overrun with war;" rejoined the nobleman, land
property is very insecure. cannot give my
daughter to any but a mechanic" "How long"
says the young man, with you retain your
daughter for me to learn trade" GAS long
as Won please, replied the father"
The Young gentleman apprenticed himself
Immediately, 10 a basket maker, and in six
months returned with perfect specimens Of his
skill The nuptas were celebrated.
But now is seen the sageness OF the old mans
advice. A short season only elapsed when war
devastated the country, the property of both ia
miles failed, and the young man supported in
style, both his own and father-in-law's family by
his basket-making.

ANEcporE OF AN IRISH NuRsE-The affection
of Irish nurses to their fostcr-children is one OF

which human nature is capable; they will follow
and serve them through evil report and good re-
port-in poverty and in prosperity-in foreign
lands. as well as their own country; and one in

"There have perhaps been few men in Con-

Mr. Davis was remarkable for his warm heart

lost hers by misplaced confidence"

REMOVAL OF THE Consul AT PAYTA.-The pre-
sent administration may be the most popular,
and the best beloved, with which this people
were ever blessed, but it Is quite sure that no
former President of the United States ever
founded his popularity upon such acts as those
Of Gen. Jackson. Such an administration IN
the hands of Washington or the A6amses, oil
Jefferson, Madison or Monroe, would never
have been submitted to-certainly more than
"one term" One of the latest acts Of dlsre-
gard of private worth and public interest," has
lately manifested itself in the removal Of MIR.
Higginsou, the American Consul at Payta, in
Peru. This port is a most important point to
the vast feet of American whale ships annually
visiting the Pacific, and Mr.. Higginson had en-
deared himself to our countrymen by his close
and unwearied attention to their interests, and
by the kindness and philanthropy with which he
had always received the distressed mariner in
TO his family. The merchants ofNantucket and
New Bedford unanimously solicited his appoint
ment, and will doubtless look on his removal as
aealamity. But it is Of no consequence, we
suppose.-lt is General Jackson that has done
IT. and his coasters all say, that he never has, ne
yer rH and never can do wrong.-N y. Cour.

The snag made large hole in the bow OF
the boat, and the pilot at the wheel, disco.
vering that she must go down, altered her
course so as to run her on the bar nearly oppo-
site. Strangely enough, in steering on this
course, the pilot without seeing it, run the boat
directly athwart the wreck of the steamboat IL
linois, which was sunk some years since, and SO
great was her Roadway that the bow was lifted
out of the water, and safely moored. She was
thus afforded an excellent opportunity of max
ing the necessary repairs. The boat remained
in this position for twelve hours; when the river,
as good fortune would again have it, rose suffi-
GENTLY to drift her clear Of the wreck.-S.

HoRRrBLE MODE OF TORTURE AND EXECUTION AT
MoNTEvIDlo.-It is related Of them that they sew
up their prisoners in wet hide, leaving out the
head and neck only; and in this condition lay
them on the ground in the sun to dry. In the
process Of drying, which the hide soon does in
the powerful effects of the sum- it becomes con-
tracted, and produces the most excruciatlng
torments on the unfortunate prisoner by the in
crease of pressure; but ii night arrives before he
dies from its effects, the hide relaXes again with
the moisture from the air, only to prolong his
sufferings on the next day, which is generally
the last. So cruel death is even worse than
that which the boa constructor can nf1ict, and the
invention of it is said to belong to barbarian
named Ramiriz.-[ Voyage Of H. w. s. Chanti-

nomination having been brought up for conslde-

proposition to annex the judicial district or cir

thus take off their hands the irksome duty OF act

begged might be referred to the Committee on
the Judiciary, to report upon the expediency oil
its adoption at an early day-perhaps next ses-

yet doubtful, as find to-day that Mr.. Taney's
friends have set on foot counter scheme, which
is intended to overthrow the former upon the
ground Of its impracticability. Documents and
other evidence, therefore, have been sent for by
