Nae Lrention for Killing Vhales.-
I he Courier Of last Monday had lacctous
and highly laudatory neiice Of a new IN
strument, lately invented by. a gentleman of
TIN, city, for killing whales. The editor
seems to think there is no farther chance
Tor the Ocean Monster and that { he had
bcltergiye up and yield his oil Yo!unatriIy.'
We have hoG an opportunity Of seeing this
instrument several times, and must also
express our apprehension that the domcs-
! TIC tranquility Of the poor light-giving an
lnaIs IS seriously threatened. This inyen-
| ton IS neat and simple and strikes US as
perfectly adapted to the purposes it is in
tended to fulfil. It's object is to Kill the
whale almost instantly upon being struck,
th:rehy saving all the time, trouble, dam
ger, destruction Of boats, and frequent loss
OF the animal consequent upon the present
method, and this we have no doubt Of its
ability to effect. In fact il the whale is
once struck with the new h,rpoon, which
is used IN preC lsely the same way as the
harpoon in common use, he never can live
long enough to ran out more than a tub
full of line, he must die from the effects of
the first blow.
We do not intend at present to give a
full description Of this invention, but few
words will be sufficient TO convey general
idea Of It's action. The whale is fastened
in the common way; the moment he starts
or the boat backs from him parts OF the
harpoon are liberated, and a small, long
she'll filled with some highly explosive mix
turc, is fired directly into the bottom of the
wound made by the harpoon. The shell is
lodged quite in towards the centre Of the
animal where it cXplodeS, lIberetine volume
gas which will produce no little confusion
among his intestines, bIcoI-vesse S, muscles
&c. \ firm hold is ret lined of the animal
and il 10 any instance he is not killed at
once he can be hauled up to and killed in
the old way.-N y Sunday Morning

The question pending was on the following resolu-
ton, offered yesterday by Mr. WISE, viz:
Resoiped, That the standing rules and orders Of the
last House OF Representatives be adopted the rules
and orders of this House for the ensuing ten days
and that committee Of nine members be appointed to
revise said rules and orders and report thereon within
the said ten days.
Which Mr.. ADAMS had moved TO anne nd by in
sorting after House of Representatives the words
excepting the 2st rule, which is hereby rescndcd

No petition, memorial, resolution or other paper
praying the abolition of slavery the District OF Co
lumbia, any State Territory of the United States
in which now exists shall he received by this House
or entertained in any way whatever
Mr.. WISE suggested that, in order ,ha, the House
might receive the Message Of the President othe Uni
ted States, action upon this resolution and proposed
amendment be postponed by general consent
Mr.. PICKENS had no objection to this course but
he had resolution to offer which he regarded as al
most fnot entirely, question of privilege since
lated to the rights OF members to seats He des
rous that the resolution should be acted day but
did not wish TO interfere with the proposition OF the
gentleman from Virginia, Mr.. WisE)
After some farther conversation by several mem
bers, Mr.. ADAMS spoke a, length in supper, of his
amendment.
He referred to the circumstances under which the
rule was adopted by bare majority many of whom
supported II lest otherwise they should be called Abo
lifionisfs. lie also spoke of the injurious operation
Of the rule on portions of he Union, as being

The Globe complains bitterly that the President, in
his Message has not told Congress inhat that body is
TO do in regard to fiscal agent of the Government
The following classical and elegant language forms
part Of the complaint the Message) is the most
noseless have seen. 1t has no han
die to its face-no point. 1t has no head-and what
is as bad in this case, it has no tail to it," &c.
These Loco ocos surely very hard to please
Had Mr. Tyler attempted to dictate to Congress,
has been the custom foi some years past of our
Legislative Executive and then after the rejection by
Congress Of his measure vetoed the substitute pro-
posed by that body and persisted for three several
sions in attempting to force upon Congress and the
people that which has been repeatedly reected would
they have been satisfied Far from it-there would
have been end to their clamor.
Mr. Tyler has done precisely what the Constitution
authorizes and requres-eaving to Congressthe true

devise measures for the relief Of the country re-
serving to himself the power of final action thereon,
authorized by the Constitution.
