In the House, after the reading of the journal
Of Yesterday, Mr. ADAMS asked to be excused
from serving on the Select Committee to inves-
,iaate the difficulty which took place the day be-
fore Yesterday, and he hoped the House
would not press him for his reasons.-
The excuse was granted. Mr. SLIDELL then
arose. and in most feeling and affecting
manner, announced the demise of his colleague,
the Hon. PETER A. BosslERE; and, after the
adoption of the usual resolutions on such occa-
sions, the House adjourned until tomorrow
twelve O'Clock, when the funeral will take
place.

From Chancellor Kent 1.-THE American Diction-
airy of the English Language is q work Of profound
investigation, and does infinite honor to the philolo
gical learning and general literature Of this country
Happy the man who can thus honoraby identify his
name with the existence of our vernacular tongue
There is no other way in which mortal man could
more atectualIy secure Immortality beneath the
skies. Obelsks, arches, and triumphal monuments,
seem to be as transient the bubble of military
putatinn. No work Of art can withstand the inces-
SAINT strokes Of time. The unrvalled Parthenon
glowing in polished marble and which, for more
thao two thousand years, continued from the summit
OF the citadel Of Athens to cast its broad splendors
across the plans below, and along the coasts and
headlands of Attica is now crumblng to ruins, after
being despoed of its most exquisite materials by
savage and heartess manr
This dictionary, and the language which IT en-
bodies, ,riH also perish; but il will not be with the
gorgeous palaces 1t will go with the solemn temples
and the great globe itself" ap22
