The New CONSULAR BILL.-One of the most
important provisions of the consular bill now be-
lore Congress, is that which requires consuls to
correspond regularly with the Department of
State, embodyng in their letters all the informa-
tion which they can obtain relative TO the condi-
ton of agriculture, manufactures, the arts, COM
merce, &c., in the countries where they shall be
stationed.
This is q provision which has long been need
ed Great Britain has sent her special agents to
every part of the world on which the sun shines,
for tie express purpose of procuring information
in these matters, while we, us nation, not only
have not done this, but our consuls abroad have,
heretofore, only been required to communicate
whatever directly concerned the consular depart
ment
The growing greatness of our country renders
1t necessary that we should avail ourselves of
every possible means of information upon the
subjects which will conduce to a still further de-
velopment. Each of the countries to which our
consuls go can be made to add somewhat to our
stock of knowledge and if the consul is faithful
in the discharge of his duty, the wealth and in
formation of our country will be greatly and visi
bly, increased in a very short time.
The varied information thus concentrated, will
OF course be diffnsed into every portion of the
country, and we will derive the benefit from it,
We should hope to see this bill become a law, if
for no other reason than this

The Government Finances-what System
VIII be Adopted

The silence of the Finance Committees of both
Houses OF Congress, in relation to ways and
means TO meet the expenses incurred in carrying
on the war with Mexico, is, under all the circum-
stances,very extraordinary and very unacc ounta-
bic. While the country at large is anxiously wait
ing the development Of some system for prov-
dung immediate means, and for the establishment
OF some permanent policy in relation to our CON-
mercial systems, the time and attention of Con-
gress is almost exclusively occupied with matters
OF minor importance, which could, without being
detrimental to any general or public interest, be
left for after consideration.
Until the three great measurs now under consi-
Iteration, are disposed of in some way, there can
can be no improvement in any thing connected
with our foreign or domestic trade. The contem-
plated financial policy Of the government is, at
this time, creating the most intense anxiety, as
the various money markets of the country are
keptm very contracted condition, in consequence
OF the uncertainty that hangs over the disposal of
the deposits held by the banks OF this city, and
the fears entertained that specie drafts for large
sums may be az any moment presented for pay
ment.
We have gwen, in the money article in this
days paper, review of the movements of Con-
gress in relation to the financial and commercial
measures now under consideration, and we refer
all those interested to the remarks made under
that head.
The adjournment of Congress is anxiously look
ed for. The people are getting tired of the delay
and would prefer adjournment without per-
iecting any of the bills before either body, TO n
more protracted session. Will some one tell us
when Congress intends adjoining!

Nearly all the passengers from France, and one

are hardy, industrious, and enterprizing, and
they will be valuable acquisition to this country,
as we have more than sufficient territory to afford
home to as many as may come. We will have

THE HIGH Price OF B READ.-It is an extraord-
nary fact, that notwithstanding the late reduction
IN -four, bread is no cheaper, and the loaves
quite small as when flour was nearly three
times as dear Flour is now sold at from SO 10
to 81 barrel, and the loafis no larger than when
il was ten dollars per barrel. It's now cheaper
than it has been for the last ten years, and it WILL
IN all probability, be still cheaper than it Isl and
sul there is no change in the price or size Of
loaf of bread. This is piece Of injustise on the
part Of the bakers that the people should take in
. their own hands to punish, as there is unfortu-
na'eiy 40 law or ordinance to reach it, The best
mode FURNISHING the injustice is to abstain from
>SHyng from the bakers. Let people purchase
e1efk own flour, and make their own bread for
three weeks, and the bakers will soon be glad to
lower their prices, and to give something like
Just weight of bread. People win save half their
present expenses for bread by the practice ~
baking their own bread, and the bakers deserve
to have empty stores for whole month for their
dishonesty. We trust that housekeepers will
unite in administering to them a proper rebuke.
But wont some honest baker take it into his head
to give us cheap bread and thus make his fortune.

Washington, that negotiations of perfectly as
tonishing character ara in progress between the
Right Rev. John Hughes, Bishop of New York,
and the President of the United States.
We have the particulars before us, and will
probably publish them in n few days, when we
shall get fuller and more detailed account.
This affair. when published, will be far more IN
terestng, and will create greater excitement
among all classes, and more especially among the
ant-Catholic portion of the community, than even
the awful disclosures of Maria Monk, or any other
awful disclosures that have been published for the
last fifty years. This new and extraordinary
move of Bishop Hughes, will cause n good deal
of astonishment.
