States, the Heads of Departments, and other
officers civil and military and the Diplomatic
corps in court costume usually attended al
so on these occasions, while the galleries are
crowded with ladies in gay attire, giving ad-
dition briIliancy 10 the scene.
The President of the Senate, to whom
the speaker resi- GINS his luxurious chair, pre-
sides over the joint meeting. Tellers being
appointed that officer proceeds to break the
seals of the official communications before

aloud the certified vote of each college,
The tellers in due course, report the result,
which is announced from the chair. The

says:-"The BostonianS have funded Sl00,

afterwards TO his successors, in consideration
of the sacrifices he makes in entering the

things on a large scale, as honorable to their
hearts as it is generous and selfsacriicing."

Washington, that the British Government
had demanded from ours an apology for the
language of Mr.. Calhoun's despatch TO MIR.
King, our minister TO Paris-which despatch
was made public by the President, in COM
municating it with other official documents
accompanying his annual Message.
We have no idea that such a demand has
been made, and we hope never viii be made,
though some Of the New York papers think
il will. The N. Y. Courier and Enquirer
says the demand is expected by the next
steamer; but that il has reason TO kaow il has
not yet been made.

A MYSTERY INDEED.-The Washington
correspondent Of the New York Express
represents Gen. Mckay, a member of Con-
gress from North Carolina, as using this Ian
guage just after the defalcation of Mr.. Nc
Nulty was made public:
elbow is it that ifa Wing is turned out of
office, he immediatly settles his accounts,
and we hear nothing more of him-but the
Democrat, who would hold on TO office, is
turned out for dishonesty, and never settles
his accounts? We got rid OF Curtis, and he
squared everything with the Treasury; while

To which the Augusta Chronicle replies:
This is doubtless a question of very diff
cult solution 10 locofocoism. Probably if
the worthy General had called on Mr.. Wood
bury. who retained defaulting officer, be-
cause she was gorged with spoils and would
not therefore be likely to plunde r any more, ;

Important to Gentlemen.

TDWARD McCUBBIN has handsomely fitted
IL up the three-story house recently erected on
the site Of his former stand where he will be happy
to resume his business as barber and hair dresser.
He very respectfully invites return of his old and
esteemed customers and solicits the patronage of
the public generally to the Temple of Fashion,
No. l, on 8th street, near Pennsylvania avenue.
With the most competent assistants, and every de-
scription of materials that can render his opera
tions luxury, instead of dull, sleepy process,
he iatters himself that to him will be accorded the
credit Of keeping pace with the times in all that
has q tendency to add to the comfort and improve
the appearance of the outer man.
Not only in the face has Nature made
Its comeliness and beauty to abound,
But in the scissors edge and razor's blade
The aids to loyeliness are ever found.

CONGRESSIONAL INTELLIGENCER.

The proprietors Of the NATIONAL INTELLlGEN-
GER, in order to meet the wishes of those whose
circumstances or inclination do not allow them to
subscribe even to weekly Washington pager
during the whole year, have determined to is
sue during each session of Congress, a weekly
sheet styled " The CONGRESSIONAL INTELLIGEN-
CER,' to be devoted exclusively to the publication,
as far as its limits will permit of the Proceedings
of both Houses Of Congress, and Official Reports
and Documents connected Herewith, including a
complete official copy Of all 4cs passed by Congress du
ring the session
10 bring the price within the means Of every
man who can read, the charge for this paper will
be for the first session of each Congress One Dol
lar, and for the second session of each Congress
half Dollar.
The price of the CONGRESSIONAL INTELMGEN-
GER, to be issued on each Wednesday during the
approaching Session of Congress, will therefore be
One Dollar paid in advance.
> To enlarge upon the value to those who take
no newspaper from Washington, of this publica-
tion containing an impartial but necessarily abbre-
waited account of the Proceedings in Congress, in
cluding an authentic official copy of all the laws
passed during the session, would be needless. The
man who takes no such paper ought to take one, if
he does not prefer remaining ignorant of what
most nearly concerns his own destiny, and that of
his family and of his posterity for ever.
IPWhen six copies are ordered and paid for
by any one person, deduction of one-sxth will
be made from the price, that is to say, remittance
of Five Dollars vii command six copies Of the
Congressional Intelligencer for the next Session.
remittance of Ten Dollars will secure thirteen
copies; and for Fifteen Dollars RENTED from any
one person or place twenty copies will be for
Warded.
}L5@Payment in advance in all cases is indis-
pensable.
