Congressional Proceedings-Our Foreign
Relations.

After several balloungs in the Senate for
Chairman Of the Committee on Foreign Rcla-
lions, 10 fill the vacancy made by the resignation
Of Mr.. Allen, Senator MDuffie, of South Carolina,
was elected better selection could not have
been made; and we have now some hope that our
foreign affairs will be speedily settled, and all the
difficulties which we have 50 long experienced,
speedily removed. No man in the Senate is more
intimately acquainted with the business of the
committee over which he has been appointed to
preside, than Mr. McDuffe; and his views upon
matters connected with our relations with foreign
countries, are more II accordance with majority
OF he boGy Of 'vhca he is prominent member.
The delay e&pe. enced Ia film. This vacancy
has prevented tho President from sending in the
Oregon Treaty; bur We have no doubt that inn
portant document will be ratified before the
Senate adjourns to-day, as il has been signed by
the parties representing the two governments,
and will, without doubt, be disposed of al once by
larger majority than that given upon the prelmi-
nary proceedings.
As soon as this Oregon matter IS settled, we
may expect immediate action upon the Independ-
cnt Treasury and Warehousing bills, which are
already under consideration and have only been
laid aside for the moment, to finally arrange the
long standing difficulties with Great Britain,
growing out of the North West territory in dis
pute.
We publish, to-day, several important docu-
ments from the heads of the principal depart
ments at Washington, IN relation to the tariff and
the expenses Of the Mexican war; with a me ssage
from the President, recommending reduction of
the tariff to a revenue standard. The Executive
recommends imposing duties upon certain arti-
cles, now on the free list, to be removed at the
expiration of the war; an issue of Treasury
notes, and, If necessary, direct loan. The esti-
mates OF the Secretary of War, and the Quarter
Master General, in relation to the expenses of the
war, must astonsh many; and it is our impress
sion that if hostilities protracted to the sum-
ner OF lS47, that these estimates will fall far short
OF the real outlay. 1t would not be unsafe to
double the estimate of the War Department
We have a very poor opinion of the financial
genius concentrated at Washington, and believe
that their calculations will tend to confirm this
impression, rather than remove it.

ANOTHER DREADFUL FIRE IN QUEBEc.-This is
the third time, within the short space of one year,
that it has been duty to write an article under
the above melancholy head. We received intel
ligence, yesterday, that the 18th inst, this do
voted city was again scourged by the devoruing
element 1t appears that the fire broke out in the
Theatre Royal, in Lewis street, at the close of an
exhibition of chemical dioramas; caused, as is
supposed, from the upsetting ola camphine lamp.
Immediately after the accident, the theatre was
envelopcd in flames; and melancholy to relate, a
large number Of lives were lost. We refer our
readers for the particulars, as far us they have
reached us, to another column. We will proba.
bly, receive additional intelligence in the course
of the morning, which we will give in our usual
evening edition.

GENERAL TAYLoR-A meeting Is called tonight
at Constitution Hall, for the purpose of nominal
ting General Taylor for tlie-~next Presidency.
General Taylor has already been nominated by
the citizens of Trenton, New Jersey, Mt n very
large meeting recentlyheld there. In other places
also he appears to be the prominent man. The
popularity of this military hero, since the battles
of Pato Alto and Resaca de Ia Palma, throughout
the country is unbounded, and may end in put
ting him in the Presidential chair Who can
tell 1t would be curious if all the leading candi-
dates Of both rurtes were cleared off the track
to make way for General Taylor. We shall know
more, if we live little longer.

Tell them also, that if they will take about pint
OF charcoal, also puIverized and put i, into bag,
then put it into barrel of new cider, it can never
ferment, will never contain any intoxicating quail

longer it is kept. Further. take piece of char
