 Yesterday morning was the coldest we have expe. rienced this season. The thermometer at sunrise 20 degrees minuE.

 Another lsGac HN.-In the report of the proceed ngs ofthe U. s. Senate on Monday the 18th inst we nutice this seneoce:--" Mir. Niles apologized for reading speech which he had prepared, and conin- ued reading until the Senate adjourned" Anda cor respondent ofa NewYork paper, in speaking of the same days proceedings. says" The stupid Dr. Niles Of CoHn. took the floor, praying aloud till the hour of adjournment, and until he had frightened the audience from the Senate" And the correspondent of another paper says "Mr. Niles, of Con. followed. God only knows what could have induced the Governor to send him here. He has less influence, if possible than Isaac Hill" And this is the great accession which the Senate obtained from Connecticut!
