as O Newspaper.

AS weekly newspaper, il is believed that the
/" UNITED STATES SATURDAY POST" is
not equalled by any weekly literary paper now
existing 1t contains full and well digestsd ac-
count of every matter of news up to the hour of
printing. This is a great desideratum to those
who take only single weekly paper, and which
means less extensive than those connected with
the establishment cannot accomplish. The num-
Der Of persons employed, and the steam.power
engaged in the publication of his paper altogeth-
er surpasses that of any other Of a similar char
acter
In shoit, the UNITED STATES SATURDAY
POST is considered in all respects equal, if not
superior, TO any of its class, while in price it il
far cheaper. Instead of three dollars year, which
is the price Of the two mammoth newspapers o
New York, and the two Of Boston, the subscrip
ton Of the "UNITED STATES SATURDAY
POST'' is only Two Dollars a year, pc
single copy. GEO. r. GRAHAM g. co.

He was native Of Nantucket a small island
Of the ocean, appendant 10 the Stale Of Massa-
chusetts, long renowned as The mother ofa race
Of men, for unblemished integrity, for perilous
enterprise, for energy of exertion and hardihood
of endurance unsurpassed by any other portion
Of the members of the terraqueous globe. I'm
saying this, do but repeat, III humber strains
and simpler language, the magnificent tribute of
justice to the forefathers Of the present age,
nearly seventy years since pronounced BY the
most eloquent lips that ever graced the British
House Of Commons. The panegyric Of Edmund
Burke upon the Nantucket whalemen has re-
sounded in every corner of the earth where the
English language is spoken or understood. II
has stood the test Of time, and will be cherished
in the memory of man SO long as that language
shall live TO express the thoughts Of the wise,
the benevolent, and the good. M
Sir, the islanders Of Nantucket, our cotempo-
raries, have not degenerated from the virtues Of
their fathers, and Of that race Of men, Mr.. Bur-
nell was the worthy representative upon this
floor. Born and .nuriured among them as one
of themselves, and chosen by their voluntary,
unbought suffrages, he reflected upon the deib-
eralive councils of the nation the express image
Of their character. lie had represented them
before in both branches Of the legislature Of his
native Commonwealth. Those of us now pre-.
sent who held seats in this Hall at the last Con-
gress, have seen and heard him here. Two
years from last May he came, full of life and
hope and vigorous energy, to serve his country
as trusty councillor, aud faithfully did he full
FL his trust. So thought his constituents, who,
with the increased numbers Of congenial spirits
on the adjoining continent, had, with a conf
dence in him rivetted by experience, recommi,-
ted the charge of their interests to his hands
to his hands, already enfeebled by the insidious
disease which was hurrying him to the tomb.
During great part of the last session Of Con.
gress, he was disabled for attendance in his seat,
aud at the close of that Congress he was left in
the confinement of sick chamber There, on
the first Of May last, took leave Of him, in the
tender and affectionate nursing care OF partner
worthy of himself, and to whom his life was
more precious than her own. left him with a
yet lingering hope that we might, under happy
auspices, meet here again. That hope was des-
tined to be disappointed. His dissolution was
near at hand, and on the 18th Of June last be
expired, far from his beloved native island, but
with all the appliances Of domestic love and
friendly kindness that could soothe the bed ol
death" by strangers honored and by strangers
mourned."
After adopting the usual resolutions, the
House adjourned.

THE GRAND EXHIBITION OF sTATUARY,
representing the trial Of our Saviour before Pom
tious Plate in group of Twenty-three Figures the
Size Of Life splendidly dressed in apPropriat cos
tune, will open at the
APOLLO HALL, W.aSHLNGTO.A, THURSDAY,
a DECEMBER l4tk, l643. 81.
This splendid Exhibition is the production Of a
celebrated Female Artist, and is intended to repre-
sent that moment in the trial of our Saviour, when
Caiaphas says to him, IL adjure thee by the living
God that thou tell us whether thou be Christ, the
Son Of God" Jesus answers, /" Thou hast said,
nevertheless say unto you, hereafter shall ye see
the Son of man sitting the right hand of power,
and coming in the clouds of Heaven!" This was
equivalent 10 calling himself the Son Of God which
of course was considered by the High Priest as BIAS
phemy; and he Immediately raised his hands in af-
fected horror, and says, He hath spoken blasphemy
what further need have of witnesses Behold now
yc have heard his bIasphen.y!"
The scene illustrates the appear ance OF the Roman
Court under Pontus Plate, and the Jewish Court,
under Caiaphas the High Priest-and the Grouping,
Costume and the Decorations Of the figures, are all
in strict acs sordance with ancient history.
This piece Of Stauary is universally considered a
magnificent Work Of Art: beautiful and interesting
spectacle, and an impressive and valuable commen-
tary on the passage Of Holy Writ to which it refers.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

+. &
Immediately after the reading of the journal,
. Mr.. ADAMS rose and pronounced the follow
ing eulogy upon the decease Of the Hon. Barker
Burnell:
At the general session of the 27th Congress it
became my duty, amidst the arduous labors and
important deliberations of the House, to announce
the decease of one of my then colleagues, a
member of the House from the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts. ia b58sst5 .5, ts
lI The same melancholy service has been devol-
we'd upon me again, and at the very threshold of
new Congress, when every heart should bound
with hope that the Legislation Of the nation has
fallen into hands busily intent and abundantly
qualified TO advance the prosperity and promote
the general welfare Of this great community.
The event is saddened with the reflection that
one of our number, among the most ardent, zea-
lous, upright, and intelligent co-operators with
us for the accomplishment Of that glorious pur-
pose, the happiness Of the people, has been
taken from us in the midst Of his honorable and
useful career cut down by the scythe of death.
| am to communicate to this House the de-
mise Of Barker Burnell, late an active and eff
cient member Of The 9th Congress, and by the
suffrages Of an enlarged constituency destined,
had it pleased the omnipotent Dsposer Of events,
to take active, vigilant, and laborions part in
the proceedings Of Congress now first assembled
