TWENTY-NINTH CONGRESS
SENATE.


With the exception of the following, which took
place in the Senate the 2lst instant the proceed
ings in Congress of the past week have been almost
devoid of interest.
Mr.. Bagby, on leave introduced joint resolu-
ton to amend the Constitution of the United states
in reference to the election of President and wee
President and other officers.
The amendments provide:
l. That the President and Vice President OF the
United States be elected for term OF SIX years. and
be ineligible for reelection
9. No member of either House OF Congress shall,
for the period for which he is elected, or for four
wears thereafter be eligible to fill the Office ofPresl-
dent or Vice President.
8, No member of either House of Congress shall
for the period for which he is elected be eligible to
fill the offices Of Secretary of State, Treasury, War,
or Navy, or of Attorney General.
On motion of Mr.. Bagby the resolution was laid
on the table and ordered to be printed.
The bill for the augmentation of the Naval force
of the United States heretofore reported by the
committee on Naval Affairs, was taken up
Mr. Speght said he opposed to the bill II
we were really going to war he was ready to go the
whole hog in the way of preparation. lie thought
it. however improper to pass such bill as this until
we knew whether we were going to have war or
not.-He therefore, moved to lay the bill upon the
table. The motion was lost, II to %.
MIR. Sewer moved that the bill be postponed I'M
til the 10th of February, and this motion gave rise
to very spirited debate and was lost by vote OF
10 to 26.
The bill was then postponed until Tuesday the
9th inst.

NOTICE.

HAVING been imposed upon far beyond the
III conception of any one but myself by those
who make by-roads through all parts of my plan
tation, Locust Hill, pulling and breaking down my
fel ices, and thereby causing my neighbors' and my
own stock to commit depredations which they
other wise would not have done and more partlcu-
larly by making public thoroughfare by my house,
pulling down my gate breaking down my bridges,
and cuttnlg the road in such manner as to render
it useless for my own purposes; for it seems that
most of the hauling is done in wet weather when
people can do little else, which time the road is
more liable to impressions, and is then left for
me to repair and keep in order. Sometimes it re-
qures two or three days, and on occasion this
fall, whole week to repair this road. Therefore,
to remedy these evils am reluctantly constrained
to notify the public that from and after the lstday
of February next, fore warn all manner ofpersons
from trcspassing on any part of my premises,
in any and every manner whatever as am deter
mined to enforce the law against all SO offending,
unless they have my special CONSENT Or come upon
business with me or my vessel; such only can be
permitted to use the road.
C~fOwners of servants are respectfully requested
to caution them as to the above Office, as shall
certainly deal strictly with them If caught so
offending. .

OPINION OF THE INTELLIGENCER.-The
National Intelligencer, reviewing the posi-
ton of affairs in England in consequence
of the dissolution of the Peel Ministry,
concludes as follows:
On the whole, therefore, although the
change of the English Ministry can hardly
be regarded as favorable to the United States,
vet there is nothing in it SO unfavorable as to
do away the confident hope that moderate
and reasonable proceedings on the part oil
our own Government may secure to as all
that belongs to the interest and honor o.
the country without disturbing It's peace.

Destructive FIRE.-A fire broke out
about half past two o'clock on Saturday
morning last in Baltimore, in the three
story brick building, No. ZIG Baltimore
street, north side, between Charles and ST.
Paul streets, owned by Miss Mary Boyd,
and occupied on the first floor by Mr. IT,
Colburn, as book and stationery store, by
Mr. Geo. Webb, as jewelry establishment;
and the upper story by Mr.. Joseph Neal as
a book bindery, law library, sc. The en-
tire building was consumed, with nearly all
the stock of Mr.. Colburn and Mr.. Neal
House insured for $4,000, which will be an
entire loss. Mr.. Colburn had an insurance
of $4,000 on his stock, and Mr.. Neal poll
cy of $1,000 on his, in Philadelphia. What
their actual loss will be is difficult to tell
1t is thought, however, that Mr.. Neale's is
more than covered Mr.. Webb's stock OF
goods was principally gotten out and re-
moved. He is also insured in the Frank
lin Office for $1,000, which will cover his
loss. A good deal of his jewelry is in an
iron safe, which has fallen through into the
cellar, where it still remains buried in the
ruins N's
The flames spread to the adjoining houses
on the west, but were arrested before any
material damage ensued.
The entire loss by this fire will amount
to about $4,000. How it originated, has
not been ascertaned.
