STEAM COMMUNICATION BE-
TWEEN BOSTON AND LIVERPOOL

We learn from undoubted authority, that
the arrangements of Mr.. Cunard, for the pur-
pose Of establishing line of steamboats, be-
tween Boston and England, via Halifax, are
in process of rapid completion.
From a paragraph copied some time since
from the Halifax papers, apprehensions were
entertained that the design was that the large
boats should stop at Halifax, and that line
of small boats between Boston and Halifax
should connect with the main line. Mr.. Gun
ard, however, as we are assured, has expressed
his readiness 10 have the main line terminate
The expense OF -taaiirdi6g all addllfbsn, hjae u"
He seems to think, that should the main line
be extended TO Boston, the small boats will
still be useful and necessary 10 keep up COM
muncation between that place and Halifax
Three large boats, each of 1850 tons burden,
with engines of AGO horse power, are now in
the process of construction, and every thing
will be ready for the commencement OF opera
tons by the beginning of April.
We learn, also, from the same source, that
tempting offers have been made to Mr.. Cunard,
to induce him TO run his boats TO New York
instead Of Boston. He is satisfied, however,
that his interest as well as ours, is concerned
in having the line terminate here. II is TO be
hoped that our citizens will not be behind hand
in fulfilling the promises they have already
made to Mr.. Cunard, or in taking such othei
steps, for the promotion of his enterprise, as
may be expedient and proper.

Green, whose fee was small part of the thou

A Scene in Congress. The Madisonian
tells the following anecdote of Mr.. Cambre-
leng's last effort in the House Of Representa-
tives. 1t is too good TO be lost.
"It was about the last speech, except MIR.

The House Of Representatives, at the hour OF

/" Cam is going to speak" Mr. Cambreleng
rose, and with compressed lips, propped him
self firmly between a couple Of desks very near
the Speaker. Mr.. Cambreleng sent TO the
Speaker a resolution which be said he offered
as an " amendment" The Clerk read It and
the Speaker declared i was out oil oroer
whereupon Mr. Cambreleng deliberately took
off his spectacles, elevated his chin, and said
with great heat and earnestness:
Mr.. Speaker, that resolution is for the APP
preparation of pay TO some Of the most merito-
rious officers Of this House, for extra services
out of the contingent fund. They ought to be
paid, sir Shall their wives and families suf-
fer sir, by our neglect2 Sir, insist that the

The Speaker replied, in burst OF laughter
that there was no resolution before the House
Immoderate laughter ensued, in which Mr.
Cambreleng heartily participating, withdrew
, TO his seat. This was Mr.. Cambreleng's las
speech, and we fancy we hear the emphatic
aHow' still echoing through the Hail."

Now, sir. mark the rapid increase of these
expenditures from the time the "pure" Ad
ministration was put down, in lS26-an in
crease OF more than SIX HUNDRED THOU
SAND DOLLARS in eight years being at the
average rate Of more than sEvRNTy-FIvE
THOUSAND DOLLARS YEAR. What does
this mean? Was there a corresponding in.
crease in the business of the custom house
department. Nobody can pretend it. On
the contrary. all know that the revenue has
for the last few years been diminishing.
Mark, too, the striking contrast between this
increase of expense and that OF the prece-
ding ten years. That increase, you will
observe. was, in the whole, but Sl20.000--

than one-sixth the annual increase under the
