FROM WASHINGTON.
February Is.

FeDruary 10.
The proceedings of Congress, are distin-
guished rather for their dullness than for any
thing else. The consideration of Mr. Grundy S
Report, on Mr. Bentons non-assumption reso-
luiions, occupies the larger part of the time OF
the Senate and the subject, as usual, gives rise
10 very long and unintertesting speeches.
For the last few days, the House of Repre-
sentatives has been constantly devoted to the
consideration ofa resolution offered by MIR. Ca
sey, of Illinois, to instruct the Committee on
Ways aud Means TO report an appropriation of
900, for the continuance and completion
of the Cumberland Road, in the state of In
diana.
This resolution has been made theme for a
debate, that is as wide as any of the vast prai-
rles of the West. Every thing in the heavens
above, and the earth below, have been involved
IN ii and as is usual, the whole debate has had
direct squirting toward the Presidential eIec-
tlon. Ii is yet going on, and does not promise
very speedy close. There will probably be
two hundred and fifty speeches delivered on the
subject
As it is not at all probable, that any business
connected with the actual interests Of the conn
try, will be transacted this session. it would be
Noii io' VIC Puohc press, III all sections OF the
Union, to call for an early adjournment The
session ought not to be protracted beyond the
lst OF May. All the business of Congress, can
be satisfactorily transacted long before that date.
The action OF the Legislature of Pennsylya-
MIA, in reference to the banks, and the currency.
creates great deal of solicitude and curiosity
in this quarter of the country. The decision of
your Legislature, on these subjects, no matter
what it may be, will produce very greai effect
in the Union.
The Senate did not sit to day.

TEMPERANCE

Start not, reader we not going to give you
lecture on this subject, we leave that to abler
and wiser heads, to whom our columns are ever
open, but wish merely to call your attention to a
corroboratior in another column, of the wonderful
temperance news from Ireland, published by us last
week. We entertained some doubts of the extent
of the reformation as there pictured out, but from
the facts to-day presented, we feel assured of its
truth. What effect this reformation may have on
the prosperity Of the Emerald Isle, remains yet to
be seen; but certainly its good effects on the peo-
pie in moral point of view, cannot be estimated.
No country has suffered more from the vice of in
temperance than Ireland, and if anything can be
done to maiorate the wretched condition of her
citizens, aud make them better and wiser, or tend
to dispel the thick mists of ignorance and preju-
dice which have so long hung like a dark pail over
that ll-fatel land, we think every philanthropist
will rejocea the thought, and wish God speed to
the undertaking
