"Do you SEE that young ladyY said
a friead to us a day or tow ago, as he
pointed to delicate and beautifully
dressed young female who was pass.

We replied in the affirmative.
"She dos'nt look much like a sui,

liberately commit self mu,derg"
"Certainly not" we exclaimed.
Sand yet" he added, "she is mur-
dering herself slowly bu, surely every
day. She is a frail, delicate creature,
and not particularly healthy at the
best Of times. 1t ia now a damp,
cold raw day, and yet she ventures

How many are there in the situa-

How many who, in yeaIding to the

visit the fatherless and the widows in

unspotted from the world.
Pure religion is a vital principle-a

Mr.. Barrow presented from the

own wish as a Senator that the re-
quest embodied in them would be at.

Santa Anna, the Dictator, at Mexico,
he said he could not speak Of him

be compelled to indulge in the use OF
language not suitable to the time Or

confinement at Mexico, and for Mr..
Kendall, Of N. o., in particular, whom
he knew, and regarded as most I'm.
justly treated.

out a large extent of country, and in
case of resumpti' IN, the Bank could
not be called upon for any very lares
amounts from any other point than
this.
ST. Louis is the only place that can
make a drain upon the Bank; and
doubt whether more than SI50,o0o

to demand specie. Besides which,
there is more Of the paper now hers

ney is not more scarce than when
we had the large issues of the State
Bank of Illinois, showing clearly that
the district in the interior has sudden
ly thrown nearly the whole of tho
Shawneelown paper into St. Louis
for redemption.
If the Bank pursues a rigorous
course Of contraction the present e
Of circulation must soona

cy of the Bank of Missouri and the

New Era) in reducing their line Of.

resolutions, Mr.. Stanly's was the first
order. 1t related to the 129th rule
of proceedings. and authorizes the
majority TO take a Bill out Of com.

day for that purpose.
Numerous efforts were made TO de-
feat the resolution, beginning with a
motion from Mr.. Clifford, of Maine,
to lay the resolution upon the table.
Mr.. Artherton of N. H., still furth-
er to embarrass the proceedings, mo-
we'd that the House resolve itself in
TO committee Of the whole on the
state Of the Union.
The Speaker decided that, in the
present stage of business, the motion
was not in order.
Mr.. Atherton took an appeal, on
which the yeas and nays were or.
dered. The vote was log TO 81 in
favor of the chair.
The question then returned upon
laying upon the table. The yeas
and nays were ordered, and the mo-
ton los, by a vote of los TO SO.
Mr.. Floyd, Of New York, here en-,
deavored still further to embarrass
the action of the House by a motion
as to 4 point of order. 1t was too
t%rifling to be persisted in, and the
House were brought toa vote upon
the resolution-the yeas and nays be.
ing again ordered. The vote was as
follows: ayes l65, noes SO.
And it may be regarded as the
most important vote of the session.
There is some prospect Of business.
