THE QUEEN OF DENMARK.

Mrs. Cores last work under the above title.
although, much superior to the Royal Favorite,
is inferior to several of the productions of her
pen. The subject was fresh 10 us Americans, as
we have had little light, lately, thrown upon
northern literature; and there was no want of
material for the production of book, in which
historical facts, could so tastefully have been
blended with fiction.
Few of the characters have been well drawn.
particularly that of the heroine Queen Caroline
Matilda In Count Pilzonoff the Russian Envoy.
we are frequently reminded of the celebrated
and able, Britsh-Texian Charge. who figured
so largely in China, previous to his signal defeat
by our late talented Secretary of State. We had
almost forgotten the good, chiyalrous and kind old
Chamberlain Norden, whose excellent character.
did not suffer by the trials and temptations Inv
which his official life was exposed and will
close by portraying it, in one of his remarks.
" Learned and clever men ought to irnpart TO the
world out of their superfuity, and render their
light accessible, as it is Of no benefit unless !,
throws its rays around. Wealthy people must
employ their money in promoting activity. They
are appointed stewards over their property, which
they must not lock up, and keep idle, for then
they rob their fellow men. People of quality
should be, above ali others, benevolent and sym.
pathising. They should unite noble sentiments
with noble exterior; for they have no way to
do good but by a good example, because their
very position draws all eyes upon them"

them, and shall do it again, and what we claim
The night to do, we believe others have the pry-
lege OF dung. We despse that spirit which
would invest the Senate with that sacred charac
ter, that its acts were not to be scanned, or its
members touched with the Iihurel spear.
We say it is time the vote was taken on the
Oregon question, which has been kept in motion
since it was first started in Congress, up to $40
4U', war or no war, for the purpose Of carrying
certain aspiring demagogues into the affections
the people, and thus watt some one of them into
the Presidential chair. Their " unchss,ened
ambition" has precipi,ated tho question upon the
world, and it must be settled, and settled too, Il
the material loss 10 the United States-when,
the sound advice of that mighty man, Mr. Cal.
houn, whose speech we have this day given to
the public, had been heeded-the " whole of
Oregon" would in due and proper time, have
been ours. 1t is time that the question, was
settled-because all branches of trade and bust
ness is deranged, and men know not what to do
and incaculable loss and suffering is experienced
in every part of the country. In addition TO this
also, there are other important questions which
demand the immediate action of Congress-
as the adjustment of the Tariff question: the In
dependent Treasury. &c., that the policy of the
country may be determined, and men may know
what they have to depend upon. and frame their
action accordingly. We, for one, thank the
Union, for the spur it has given that body of
"grave and reverend seignieurs," and inform
them, that the Oregon question has now become
perfect bore to the people, and no more
capital can be made out of it. for fiery Hotspurs
from tho West.

ECONOMY-OUR NAVY.

We wish every member of Congress would
consider the following queries and remarks, made

truclon of this country; for it will leave us far in
the back ground, when shall find need for this
right of our national Defence II is not econo

Yards are going to dilapida,ion, and heavy sum
is yearly expended for idle naval officers, who are
Sc because the Government has no vessels to en-
ploy them.
i" Is our Navy sufficient for every emergency T?
Is permanent peace matter of certainty Cues
tons like these, will be difficult of irmatiye re-
plies, and the cry of expense is the hobgobblin
story used TO Brighten childish minds. The mon

materials and our own labor it is for national
purposes; still here; not dollar of it leaves the
couatry; and it false economy which will place
dollars and cents in the scale against national pro-
lection and our country's honor We want more
naval force. Our increased commerce in time of
peace will require it. Ourselves, our honor, and
our safety will make it indispensable, in time of
war We look for an early war. We believe

To The Senate of The United States .

In answer TO the inquiry of tho Senate ram
tanned in their resolution Of the I7tb instant
whether, in my Judgment, any circumstances
connected with, or growing out of, the foreign re-
atons OF this country, require at this time an in
crease of our naval or military force :" and if go
" what those circumstances are" have TO ex-
press the opinion, that wise precaulion demands
such increase.
In my annual message Of the I'd of December
last, ! recommended to the favorable considera
ton of Congress an increase of our Naval force
especially of our steam navy, and the raising of
an adequate military force TO guard and protect
such Of our citizens as might think proper to en-
grale to Oregon. Since that period, have seen
no cause TO recall or modify these recommenda-
tions. On the contrary, reasons exist which, in
my Judgment, render il proper not only that thew
should be promptly carried into effect, but that
additional provision should be made for the public
defence
The consideration Of such additional provision
was brought before the appropriate Committees of
the two Houses Of Congress, in answer to calls
made by them, in reports prepared, with nv
sanction, by the Secretary Of War and the Secre-
tary Of the Navy, and on the 29lh Of December
and the 9Th Of January last a mode of conmuni
cation with Congress not unusual and, under ex
sting circumstances, believed 10 be most elioible
Subsequent events have confirmed me in the opin.
ion that these recommendations were proper, as
precautionary measures.
It was a wise maxim Of the Father Of this
country, that " to be prepared for war. is one Of
the most efficient means of preserving peace -
and that, avoiding occasions Of expense by c1l
Uvaling peace" we should Remember, also. that

Of making extensive Naval, as well as Military

repeatedly and earnestly urged upon the Govern
