The House adjourned this morning soon after
assembling, in consequence OF the announcement
of Mr.. HABERsHAM's death. Mr.. GAMBLE of
Georgia, announced to the House the decease of
his colleague in appropriate terms, passing an
eulogium upon his character, which must have
found response in the feelings of every person
present who had enjoyed the acquaintance of the
deceased. The remarks of MIR. Gamble were con-
ceived and delivered in manner which did him
great credit, and were listened to amid q silence
and attention which are very unusual in that arena
of strife and confusion.
Occasions like this which freq iently take
place in that body, always create an impressive
pause, during which men seem for time to lay
aside all consideration Of politics and of the little
things that men call great, to give way TO rehec-
tons BETTING mortal men-but the pause and the
silence are but for u moment-the great stream
of BUSY life with all its turmoil and ambition and
its cares closes over the vacancy which death has
created, and sweeps on in utter forgctfulness of
the bereavements and the warnings Of the past.
Soon after the adjournment of the House mes
sage was communicated to the Senate with the Ieso-
luton which that body had passed in respect to the
memory of the deceased. Mr.. BERRIEN, of Geor-
gia, Immediately rose and uttered an eulogy upon
she character of his deceased friend and colleague,
in which, with deep and sincere feeling, and in
language Of exceeding impressiveness and beauty,
he bore testimony to the worth, and kindness,
and gentleness of the friend of his youth and man
hood.
Among the many similar announcements, of
which unfortunately of late years there have been
so many in Congress, have never listened to any
so impressive and beautiful, and at the same time
more just than this delivered to-day by Judge Ber-
rien. There are few men possessing to greater
degree the virtues which he SO justly attributed to
Mr.. Habersham, than MIR. Berrien himself, and
none could more highly appreciate them in anoih-
er than that gentleman. If | could convey in
letter anything of the impressiveaess which char
acterized the manner OF its delivery, and the silent
solemnity which peivaded the Senate Chamber
on that occasion, / would undertake to give you
sketch of Mr.. Berren's address, but es that can
not be, refer you to the report which, lpresume,
will appear in the papers of tomorrow.
The Senate after passing the resolutions usual
on such occasions, adjourned.

The election of Mr. Hueer pronounced at home
Ugee) to succeed Mr.. Calhoun in the Senate. Mr.
H. of an old Huguenot family distinguished in the
History of South Carolina His father is cele-
brated for his devoted and chivalfous attempt to
efec, the escape of Gen. Lafayette from prison.
Of the son, however, you are as well informed as

I see too that the Legislature of Ohio has dis
tinguished itself and dose infinite honor to the
State by re.electing MIR. P. Allen to the Senate
He too is distinguished, in variety of ways, bat
not BY any deeds of greatness or even of decency,
that have ever heard or read of.
| see that some of the papers speak of ceali-
ton between Mr. Tyler and Mr.. Calhoun, by The
terms of which Mr.. Calhoun is to support the
Captain for reelection if ne should be candid
ate, while the Captain in turn, tchen he becomes
satisfied that he cannot be elected, is to support
the claims of Mr.. Calhoun.
Every body here has known for many months
past that there good understanding between
these individuals, but nobody who knows them be.
lieves that Mr. Calhoun will forego his chance for
the Presidency for the Captain or any body else,
though it is believed-certainly believe and have
long been of opinion-,hat MIR. Tyler will throw
all bis influence in favor of Mr.. Calhoun, if he is
not himself a candidate for reelection; and | OBJ
serve tina. the Madisonian of this morning, in no.
ticing the fact that paper in Alabama in support
inp tbe claims of Mr.. Calhoun speaks abusively of
