THE SENATE, AND THE NOMlNA-
TIONS OF MESSRS. PORTER AM
SPENCER

The nomination of the first named gentleman
has now been before the Senate for seven
weeks of the last for more than fortnight.
The public mind, if we may judge from various
indications, /, becoming more and more impa-
tent al the delay Of action, on the part Of the
Senate. Enough lime, many think, has GER
tainly elapsed TO have enab the Senate TO
have made itself acquainted with Mr.. Pouer's
whole life, from his era lie up TO the present day
Hence, ii is asked, why delay action As 10
Mr.. Spencer, it is notorious that he has
been confirmed by the Senate as Secretary
of War, and afterwards as Secretary Of the
Treasury. He is, therefore, it must be suppos-
ed, thoroughly known. Why, then, $50 great"
delay7 The Supreme Court is in session and
important cases are to come before it. The
public cannot but be iuquisitive upon this
subject If the Senate, it is said, would
act up to lis constitutional duty, it would
at once determine the fate OF these nomi-
nations. The county is IN singular condl-
ton. Parties are peculiarly s.. All eyes are
turned to the Senate, aud 10 these Secretaries
thus suspended. Action is demanded by the
public sent ment-aclion Of some sort-aud we
hope ii will take place speedily.

A deputaton from the Managers of the New York
Institution for the Blind, accompanied by number
Of the pupils under their care, have arrived in this
city, with the view Of presenting TO Congress and our
citizens practical evidence Of the capacity of the
Blind, under the influence of proper means, for in
struction all the useful branches Of education, and
in various mechanical employments; and TO urge
upon the several States through their Representa-
tves, the benefits resulting from legislative provision
in their behalf
II appear. that New York. Massachusetts,, Penn
sylyania and Ohio, have respectively made some APP.
preparation for the support and education Of their in.
dgent Blind but out of aggregate Of seven thou
sand in the United States thus afflicted, only very
small portion derive any benefit from these provisions,
while the great majority, owing to want of in,eres,
in their welfare, and doubts TO their cspsby of
Improvement are left without instructon-often
without support.
The New York Institution for the Blind is no,
res rcted in its sphere of usefuuess TO its own
State Ample arrangements made for the re-
ceptiOn OF pupils from every quarter Of the Union and
!, is the desire Of the Managers during this visit to
our city. in exhibiting the results Of their system OF
tuition, thus far developed to induce the co .ope-
ration Of those interested for the welfare of the Blind
in the States where they are not the subjects OF
legislative regard in placing them in thi, Institution
a, least, until more adequate measures adopted in
their behalf
II IS intended TO give two exhibitions in this city,
one before Congress and before the public each
Of which the pupils will take part, and the nature OF
the instruction employed and the statistics Of the As
ISOLATION will be presented and the claims Of the 10.
,ttuton advanced.
II cannot be doubted that laudaLe an enterprise
will he met with the sympathy and encoursgeme
which every effort TO advance the welfare Of so DIES
ttute aud unfortunate class of our fellow beings
deserves at the hands Of the benevolent and philan
throplc.

THE PEACE-MAkER.

proving guns of not one-thrd Of her cabre such
Stockton's confidence in this wrought iron piece that
the proving was actually performed on board a small
vessel Of twenty feet beam and seventy feet in
length. This appears the more astonishing when
we consider that the charge fifty pounds Of pow

Of twelve inches, carving ball OF two hundred and

half OF the vast body, the slide being secured TO this
vessel by several strong hawsers passing round the
same and under the vessels bottom to prevent the

was fred off by means e slow match that burned
about q hall minute, during which the boats con-
tanning the officers and crew roWed away some two
or three hundred yards from the vessel TO listen 10
the explosion and witness the effects OF 1t at a safe

vessel deep lurch to the opposite side, and the gun

to be every where known. Before she was built her
cost was estimated al $4,000 and that sum was ap-

up to that point, Captain Stockton finished her for
service at a cost Of only $4,000 We give this fact
for its rarity. Seldom IS a vessel or a house or any
