 MT. WIse's Speech.-UpOn introducing his resolu. tiOns into Congress for exaihinatOn into the van- OuS departments of government to ferret out the sour of corruption, fany exist. Mr. Wise delivered one O the most caustc speeches ever pronounced before delbe+ative assembly. We should be glad that all readefs could peruse it entt but as is incOn. venicn for us to publish it at present, have avaed ourselves ofa brief sketch of prepared for the N Y. Star. See the preceding page.
 TIE LEcisLATURE.-Unti yesterday morning we were in receipt of the proceedings only up to Friday morning last. We now have them to Monday after. noon; but are obliged to omit them this week. Itwas only until Monday that the Committee respecting the surplus revenue made their report It was then ac. cOmpanied by bill-the general provisions of which are-as stated by the New.Haven Herald-"That the money shall be deposited with the several towns in the Sate in proportion to their respective population as asceraned by the last census-ihat those towns which have recently been incorporated the disrbu- t,ol shall be made i1 reference to new census which snail De taken for that purpoec-that the towns shall keep the money as depost& in trlist for the State, and annually appropriate at least one half the inter- est to the support of common schools and the remain held responsible for any loss that may occur and a- be to repay the money to the State whenever called for-each town to make fund of the principal to be of each town to have the custody of this fund.- un- til an agent shall be appointed by the civil authority and selectmen of each town, upon whom shall devolve its management"
 The Senate have also reported bill for the distri- button of the revenue, not varying materially from A. G. A.. ald however, there had been as yet but little discus. sion upon the merits of the bill and should not be surprised nearly the whole of this week should be ta. ken up in the discussion of their merits That the f. action will be in accordance with the report of the House, we entertain very little doubt. We understand that the recommendation of his Ex. the Governor to attach the money to the School Fund.- meets with ve. few advocates in either house of the legislature or even of the members of the third house. Another week will probably close the labors of the legislature. CoH.-The mercury yesterday morning stood de. grees below o-the lowest this season.
 Neac- York Election-G Glorious Result !-It will be remembered that at the November election in the city of New-York, there were six Wings and six Tories elected to the Assembly, and that for the thirteenth there was tie between the two next highest candi. dates new election was accordingly ordered on Wednesday and Thursday of last week, and each party had up their candidate and it affords us hieh qualification to announce to readers that result cd in the choice of the Whg candidate (Franklin) by majority of about l9O0! This too in the city of York, which has heretofore been the strong hold and backbone of Van Burensm or rather of Jackson. ism. It should be remembered, however, that small vote was polled, compared with what the city can dos but it shews that the whgs length disposed to take up at the business of attending the pos and not siasfar nM Oieesis~S 50 e6ant tvr by xlpfzult. IT this does not augur we'll for the Spring City Election we know not what can.
 "Apatky! Apafhy !"-We wonder if the Hartford Times and its hrelng prostuted echos in other parts of this state will not raise the cry of apathy re. spectng the NewYork city election claim that the whgs "with the advice of Truman Smith," stole the march upon their enemies unawaTes, withou. giving them "due and timely nOtce." They have got sick ot the cry ss regards this state and now may resort to 1t to cover their waning fortunes elsewhere The President transmitted to Congress on the 2lst inst special message upon the ect of our rela- tons with Texas. It is not very long; still we have not room for this week; besides we do not consider of very great consequence-it s only carrying out in detail the principles which he slightly touched upon in the annual message. It takes the g.ound-and in our v'ew m this case the correct groInd-that it is not best in the present state of that country for this gov. enment to interfere in her affairs by recognizing her independence or otherwise recommending, indeed, the same course of policy which has been heretofore pursued respecting the various South American Pro- vincesEhat of strict neutrality until their independ ence shall be acknowledged by the power against which they are warning
 The Presdents healah by the las. aecouXs, is con. siderably improved and it is now believed he may re. sufficiently at least to attend to public business. We are glad to bear it-6r we desire ever witness the time when the Vice Presdent-elected as such shall be called upon to administer the affairs of gov.
 Fire in AHgustGS GeO-A fire broke out in . coop CTS shop. near the Planters Hotel, few days since, which before 1t was subdued extended to and con. sumed all the buildings the south side of Broad st. front and rear, from Campbell street to the brick range of & W. Harper, where it stopped by the blow. ing up of the building occupied by MT. sumner."- Entire loss estimated at S750o. and insured for about swothrds the amount. Most of the goods and furni- ture saved. We do not observe among the names of the sufferers any one from these parts.
 Daring RO6bery-On the morning of the 22d inst the trunks the stage from Lynchburg to Richmond were cut off when about two miles from the latter place. All the trunks were recovered unopened ex. cept one. and in at one were notes of the Bank of Virginia to the amount of Sl9Oooo. So that it is pre- suned the robbeT must have known tha, the trunk contained the Fnoykev
