|, The heat continues at the oppressive Temporal
ture of about SO degrees horizon full Of clouds,
surcharged with electricity, and flashing inces-
sanity, but no rain.
The House got through committee the Diploma
| tic Bill to-day and the Senate the supplemental
Army Bill to a third reading, and the confirmation
of the officers of the new regiment Of dragons.
The public schools of the city had a procession
to-day-and near 600 children of these schools
were drawn up this morning in a circle in tho ro-
tunda of the Capitol. The object was to show to
Congress what the city is doing for education,
weighed down with taxes as it is, and as an in
duccment to the national legislature to assist the
municipal authorities, in carrying out the plan
of a general education Of all the children within
the limits of the corporation. For this purpose,
from four to six new school houses will be wan
ted, and an appropriation from the treasury to
aid in their establishment. Dependent as Wash
ington is, has to be, and WINS intended TO be upon
the government, we cannot divine how this
praiseworhy object, OF assisting in the education
of the children of the capital, can be evaded,
either upon constitutional sophistry, or the hum
bugging cry Of "retrenchment and REFORM"
While upon this agreeable subject of education,
the Grand Secretary Ridgeley, Of the l. Q. ofO. F.
gave some important facts, connected with tho
financial condition of the benevolent order. In
Monday last, he said the fraternity in the United
States, had now a body of over 10000 contribu-
ting memberships they had surplus fund on
hand of million of dollars, and that the perso-
nal contribution Of the paying members of a cent
per week each, would give annual sum of $50,
600, for the support of college primary schools.
There Is no association OF men in the Union, that
have such power in their hands rs the Odd Fell
praiseworthy purposes.
BY invitation, the public schools attended,
teachers and scholars, and all hands, the National
Fair this morning. and like the old ones, the little
ones appeared to be astonished, that with the
American people, "some things could be done as
well as Others" and others peradventure very
well for the beginning.
We had the honor, this evening, Of encounter
ing among the bathing tubs, the vertabe old Veto,
our late much abused chief magistrate, President
Tyler. lie looks remarkably fresh and vigorous
ex-President and his friends through the bazaar,
but we doubt whether he could be persuaded that
all these results of home industry, are dependent
upon the bill Of AZ, which by his approval, (ni-
nus the land clause,) became law OF tho land.

While we write, II O'Clock, p. M, military
band is performing in the street. The military
spirit Of the people is paramount, tantamount,
and catamount to a war now with the universal
world, making only morning meal OF the Pic

army, ,iolens voicns, will deem il expedient TO
visit the halls of the Aztecs, the Guatmozins, and
the Montezumas. The ball is opened, and there is
no forcelin gths parties that maybe drawn into the
dance, or the scope and duration of the entertain
ment. As they are, there is not, perhaps, upon
the face of the earth a people occupying finer
territory than the Mexicans, a more distressed,
distracted, dislocated, good-for-n nothing race Of
mongrels, under the sun. 1t would seem that all
the most inferior breeds have been crossed and
