The New York Express ofihe Goth
inst. says:--"The old adage of feast
or a famine is as applicable TO money
matters as any thing else. Six months
ago, the banks were as waiiv as pos.
sible in their loans, selecting out with
the greatest care all short paper. and
then only assorlingout their discounts
according to the claims OF their cus.
toners. The Banks in Baltimore
and Philadelphia were struggling for
q resumption; balances were drawn
from here, and banks and Capitalists
were exceedingly sensitive. How
changed the course of things in six
short months! Now there is but lit.
tie paper offering; and all the banks
want paper. SIX months notes are
taken very readily, and even eight
months notes, if A No. l., are not
refused to IA good customer. The
usual resort to the street for notes is
made without any success. The
great source Of business paper is

CONGRESS-.

In the Senate on the 18Th n tariff
bill from the House of Representa-
tives was received and referred 10 the
| Committee on finance. Mr.. Benton
renewed hiSm0lion for leave to nitro
duce 4 bill for the repeal OF the Bank
rupt Act. He spoke for two hours
On the subject, urging three reasons
FOR the rcpeal-all grounded on the
unconstitutionalitv of the law rs it
now stands. Mr.. Berrien urged tie
Joint rule, requiring the consent OF
two-thirdS of the Senate for the leave
asked. The vote was then taken by

The res, Of the DAVIS session was de-
voted 10 the consideration Of about
a dozen private and local bills which
were passed.
In the House. the first three DAYS
Of the present week having been set
apart for the consideration OF Terri
torial business. Mr.. ". &. Johnson
moved Il poStponement of the special
order, 50 that he might offer a resoiu.
ton. The motion TO suspend was
rejected. without knowing the nature
of the resolution. Ii il pre&ncd IL

State debts.
Mr.. Arnold also moved a sUspen.
sion Of the special order, with Il view
Of introducing his bill for reducing the
pay of members Of Congress. TIE
motion was rejected by a tremend-
Gus voiIev OF "noes.'
After the reporting of some Terri
'oriaI bills from the Committee on
Public Lands, the House went into
Committee Of the Whole and took up
the Senate bill providing for the arm
ed occupation OF Florida.
After some explanatory remlrks
from Messrs. Pendleton and StokeIv,
the floor was taken by Mr.. W. c.
Johnson. He opposed tie bill as de
ceptive. II vas calculated to give
away the public domain, and to make
the settlers gentlemen and sportsmen.
The bill was cxceptionabIe in its
forms. peuriIe in its provisions, and
ridiculous in its terms.
Mr.. Levy, the delegate from Flori-
da, denied that there is any fraud in
the bill. 1t was introduced in good
faith, and for the laudaba'e object of
putting an end to hostiii,ies in Flori-
da.
The deb1te was continued 10y
Messrs. Pope, Stanley and Granger,
the latter of whom, in the course Of
his remarks, appeared to treat very
lightly the idea of any apprehension
from a war with Mexico.
Nj. Holmes thought a war with
Mexico would be one of the most Sc
rious wars it was possible for us TO be
engaged in. He argued that while
could get comparatively little
from her, she could manage by means
of pr~ivateers to cut up IL commerce.
This fact furnished in his view, a
strong argument for the armed occu-
patton of Florida, which otherwise
would be made a rendezvous for such
p%rivateers.

Law IN THE WESTERN PART OF GROaoIA An eX-
tract of a letter from Marietta, Ga, published in the
Augusta Chronicle, shows a most extraordinary
state Of public feeling. The Chronicle attributes it
to the attempts of ~partizan presses to create an ex-
element on The subject Of relief laws. This is the
exiract:-
eve seriously apprehend a general suspension
of the law in the western part OF Georgia. The

Nothing very decisive or important has come OCT
of the late dispatches which have been received
here, by the late arrivals Of. messengers to the State
Department. The Fapers,and documents of various
kinds received from Epgland, arel very numerous.
and the Secretary and his. chief clerk, have been
very busy during 'the last two days and nights in
opening and examining them. There are several lei
tsrs and papers accompanying the correspondence
between Mr.. Everett and Lord Aberdeen, not yet
made public.
Lord Ashburton has commenced his negotiation
by interviews with the Secretary of State, but no
official correspondence has as yet been gone into.
| am inclined to think, from several peculiar cir
cumstances of late, that the mission of Lord Ash
burton will not be so protracted. as has been suppos.
el, the final disposition of all matters, one way
or the other, will be settled before the present SEES
sion Of Congress shall terminate. The Warspite
has been ordered to New York, TO wait the COM
mands of Lord Ashburton, and l would not be sur
prised if the mission should break up more suddenly
and precipitately than any one may have imagined.
In the mean time His Lordshlp continues TO be

hospitslities of the city extended him.

President. On tomorrow Mr.. Webster gives him

Realm who has ever come to this country IN an Of
fetal capacity, and his own official and respective
position, entities him to all civil honors.

happy manner as when she presided at her brilliant
soirees at the " White House." and Mr. Adams lost

neroas host.
1t has been rather dull here Of late, in the beau
monde; but indications are very strong, OF a great re-
action ia the course Of the coming week. Oa to-
morrow evening the POSTMASTER General holds his
monthly soiree, which will be crowded with WISH
tors, as parties are very rare of late. Ga Friday
evening l hear, a great wedding party is to be gwen
at the house OF General WeiahtmaR. The May
Q1een and her attendants and Floras,. are all pre-;
pairing with great spirit and vivacity, for the grand
annual May Ball, to be held on the first OF next
