The Embellishments.

Even in this important respect, the 'Compan-
ion" may be safely pronounced to maintain de-
cided superiority over every competitor; and in re-
gard to lis gorgeous engravings, the work is dis
tinguished above every literary periodical, wheh-
er in England or America. Every number is or
namented with steel plates, executed by the first
artists, in the most finished manner, expressly for
the work! ScriptHrGl engravingS are, also, occa-
sonally published. The reader Therefore, for the
low price at which the "CompaEion" is afforded,
in addition TO its admirable literary articles obtains

are not executed on wood, but SO elaborately en-
graved on steel, as to be of themselves worthy Of

THE PROSPECT AT WASHINGTON.
WHAT HAS CONGRESS DONE !

Our advices from Washington are not of a fayora-
BILE character regards the probable during
the present session, of the leading measures which
have been earnestly conended for during number
of years, by the great mass7-the majority we may
say, as manifested by the last Presidential election
of the people Of this country The session is now in
its sixth week, and as yet nothing has been done.
The Wings are in the majority, and upon their heads,
therefore, devolves the responsibility Long debates
have taken place on preliminary matters, and the
Fiscal Agency proposed by the President and receiv
ed with such general appreciation out of doors, has
thus far met with earnest opposition not only by
those who are adverse to the Administration, but by
Senator Mangum, and other members of the Wing
party The Senator named has denounced the scheme
of the Executive in the strongest terms and has con-
iessed that he has no hope OF seeing any thing done
for the currency.
| The National lntelgencer expresses the OPT
mon that the Treasury plan will go to select com
mtee, and that it will be reported for the main dis
cussion in the Senate, with features differing in
respects from those with which ii came from the
hands of the Executive. That paper, although not
III utter despair upon the subject thinks II very doubt
full whether will be wrought into any shape to
| secure it the sanction of both Houses of Congress-
The prospect, therefore, is gloomy-the Wings do not
seem to be acting with harmony and the unkind feel
ing which produced during the extra session. has
not entirely subsidized With these views and facts, it
appears to us to be the duty of the press and the peo
pie to speak out. Unless we greatly mistake public
our political friends, but large proportion of our
political opponents, are anxious TO see the Fiscal
Agent of the Executive at least tried. They object
to some of its features, and would not have chosen it,
had the task devoyed upon them. But they point to
the wretched condition of the currency, and are will
ing to take any thing that holds out hope of i'm
provement. They think that spirit of moderation
should characterize the action of Congress-that men
should yield somewhat of their own peculiar views
and that the interests of the country should be cared
for. This policy they anxious to carried out
not only with regard to the currency, but relates
to the Tariff. Some protection beyond that provided
in the Compromise Act, must be extended or thou
sands of our aboring classes will be thrown out of
employment This subject is in the hands of the
Committee on Manufactures, and it is TO be hoped
that ST important an interest as is embraced in the
various manufactures of this country, will be cared
for in truly American spirit. But Congress should
act more promptly. We know that on many ques-
tions much discussion is necessary, but surely
sion of nearly six weeks should have produced some
g.-Ihqurer

CONGRESS.

The members of Congress can no longer fnd an es-
cape from responsibility in the honors of the office or
the features of their political creed. Dereiction of
duty is not thus any longer to be cancelled conceal

and party legislation cannot now avail; the remedy
must be wide as the disease and thorough as it is
deep
We have had no systematic legislation for more
than years Congress has been regularly convened
regularly squandered away their time, and then regu.
laly adjourned For matter of any good done to the
country, they might about as well have not been
scmhled The favorite doctrine has been that the
country governed too much and under this plea
has not been governed at all The let alone policy
has had its experiment thoroughly, and miserable
experiment it has been too Under its nonentes the
nation has become bankrupt. II this let-aune nom
sense is To be continued, we may well dispense with
the General Government at once. There is no posi-

Statistics Of Msanity.-By the last census, there ard
1851 insane persons in the United States and lid
estimated number of those no annually become l1
sane is 5Il9. There are sixteen insane asy lums III

other asy lums are soou to go INTO operation, but II
the most, they receive but one.tth of the insane ID

insane to the whole population Is as ] to 800. Mas1
sachusetts gives an average Of to $50, and RhQdi
Island of to SO. The six New England STATED
show altogether the largest proportion Of the insane
and of the long settled States, Louisiana is most free
from that disease her proportion being only 10 $50!
