Dsvi>r a. s~.-;u~ s..sjon of Congress, We noan
% ~,ke for the delivery of the Hered
daily in both these cities, in order to enghten the
darknees therecf. Our agent has already gone to
Baltimore 10 establish agency there for the de-
verv Of the Herald the morning after its pabli-
cation N New York. We have already an agency
in Philadelphia II Deck street. aad 2Sa Chestnut,
where many hundreds are daily supplied. Our
Baltimore agent will receive his papers by the
rail road lines through the winter, a. to sna-
BILE hin to Baltimore readers early the next
morning. We expect to circulate many hundreds in
Baltimore, as we ale ady do in Philadelphia.
In Washington, a similar arrangement will be
made, SO As to aake the Herald reach that city
about eleven o'clock the next day after the pub
licatica in New York-and thus probably anticipate
the mail. If msmbers Of Congress want to get the
Herald by mail, At the expense Of the nation, they
can send their orders through the officers Of either
House. Formerly we would not send any papers TO
the members Of either House, unless the cash was
paid in advance Finding, however, that Congress
keeps its paper money at par or nearly 80, We are
disposed believe them tolerably honest and there
fore, by way Of encouraging the young sprouts Of
honesty, sha give them credit to the end Of the
session. Meantime We shall send the members each
a copy Of the Herald this week, in order that they
may see what I" sort of q critter" il 10.

Without stopping to point out the propriety of the
language here used, which 10 much appropriate
for thief catcher, than gallant oficer of the |
Royal Navy Of beaateous Victoria, Queen Of Eng |
land must At beg leave to reassert the gene
raj accuracy of statement relative to the capture
Of the Catharine. Mr.. Dasdas, il 10 true, cenfnes
himself to deny the statements only far as they
affect the conduct of the officers and towards |
the eatables and liquors, when they went On board |
the Catharine. He has not denied that the Dolphin |
captured the Catherine At long distance from the
coast Of Africa
But even these special, fierce, personal denials
cannot avail him. The statement, Substantially
made by MS, is founded the protect Of Captain
now in prison, and he persists in saving
that after his capture, he and his vessel were plum
