TEMPERANCE AT WASHINGTON.

The National Intelligencer says that Tenn
perance Societies have wrought strong and
marked revolution in the moral character of
the COMMUNICATED they have diminished the
amount of misery and crimes-that they have
snatched thousands in the District from the
gulf of intemperancc-that grog shops have
been lessened in number and destructivoness-
that many distinguished and influential persons
have very recently given in their adhesion to
the total abstinence system and borne pub
lie testimony in its favor, &c. The same facts
are noticed in many letters from Washington,
and especially the efforts of DR.. Sewall, and Of
Mr.. Briggs, member of Congress from Massa-
chusetts, and finally the fact that Mr.. Marshall
of Kentucky had signed the pledge. Mr.. Mar.
shall is nephew of the late Chief Justice, and
has attracted great attention by his ability and
eloquence.- as young man and a
new member. But he has been hardly less
known for his intemperance. He lately be-
came absolutely drunk in the course of a speech
on the floor of the House of Representatives.
A movement that can seize and retain such
man must have power in it.

Rhode Island hasa dealo Of trouble in fixing
upon proper Constitution for the government
Of her little territory. An extraordinary cleo
lion was held fog the purpose Of taking the
sense of the people in regard to the proposed
new Free Suffrage Constitution. The total
rumber of votes in favor of it was 12,7O7
None, or very few against-the opponents of
the new Constitution not recognizing the le-
gality of the process b. which it is intended to
subvert the old one, or rather King Charles
the Seconds Charter which has thus far stood
in lieu of Constitution. The upshot of the
matter probnbly will be that at the next meet
ing of the Legislature, there viii be two sets Of
delegates, one claiming under the new. and the
other under the old Constitution. We wish
little RhOda a safe deiyerance from all her
troubles.

we have had advices from Canton to the 9th

with most of the land and sea forces, to make
a demonstration upon Pekin. The Chinese
had offered Sir Henry Pottinger, (tho new
British Superintendent Ten Million Dollars,
if he would cause the expedition to be reln-
quished. This he declined and on the other
hand declared that in case any hostile demon
siration was made by the Canton forces, he
would again take the city, and treat the Chi
nese with the utmost rigor. Ifhowever they
keep quiet, he would respect the Six Million
treaty. A few foreigners remained at Canton,

had advised the former to be ready to come at
a moments notice.

| WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Bpm
End OF the Observation-Disclosures OF Congros 81.
Congress has finally adjourned. This irksome
and ingorous session" has finally come to an end
The adjournment took place at two o'clock, the hour
prescribed, with as much order and decorum, and
more good nature, than usually characterzes the
termination OF protracted session.
The Senate was engaged most of the morning in
executive session. Mr. Clinton, who was re-nomi-
mated Collector of Buffalo, was rejected, and Mr.
Lathrop nominated in his place and confirmed
In the House, Mr.. WISE moved to amend the
Journal TO insert the Z" Protest. of the Presi-
| dent; but the motion was ruled to be out of order
There great difficulty about obtaining quo
| rum, and vast deal of noise and confusion but
| l27 members finally answered to their names. The
post route bill was passed, the amendment of the
Senate being concured in The resolutions respect
| ing Colts submarine battery were passed. The for
LITIGATION bill, the bill authorisng depot for charts,
Nc, for the navy; the bill fixing the compensation
OF engineers IN the navy; the bill fixing the rank of
Professors in the navy; the bill authorizing draw
back on goods exported in the original packages,
between Santa Fe and Chihuabar, all were passed
The last bill was returned from the Senate amended
and laid on the table
One of the most sensible, practical, and valuable
speeches of the session was that delivered in The
House yesterday by Mr.. T. b. King on the bill TORI
organizing the Navy Department. He took large
and liberal view of the necessities and usefulness OF
the Navy, dwelt with much eloquence and force
upon the wasteful expenditures that had character
ised the administration of the department during
preceding years, and pointed out the mode by which
this might be avoided hereafter. Although so near
the close of the session. the speech was exceedingly
well received, and produced much effect. No man
in Congress has paid more attention to the Navy
than Mr.. King, and is better acquainted with
its condition and wants. He would have been placed
at the head of the department by General Harr-
son. but for the malign influence OF few profess
ed friends; and but for political considerations, it is
probable that the post would have been rendered
him on the formation of the Cabinet nearly year
since. Mr. King came into Congress young, but
with high reputation in the State Of Georgia. A
sound mind and habits of industry and patient re-
search. have made him one of the most useful men,
bers of the House. His services have been most
important, both in the Naval Committee and in the
House, and it is owing, in small degree, to his
exertions, that all the important naval bills have
been carried triunphanty through. Mr. Wise, as
chairman OF the Naval Committee, has been very
efficient, but his political relations have precuded
hum from the exercise OF his just and proper inhu
euce,
