This Lamp is simple in its construction, easily

Its superiority to other lamps consists in the fol-
lowing advantages: there no brass other metal
that corrodes which comes in contact with the fuid
the external and internal drauehts pass through
the body of the lamp, producing more perfect
combustion, and keeps the lamp perfectly cool. II

In trimming the Doric Lamp the chimney is first
removed and the Lamp taken out of the ring, the
button and cone must be next taken off, and the
cone may be used for a stand to set the lamp on
while trimmng-after which the wick-holder is
taken out and the wick raised above the tube sufi-
cient to cut off the black or crusted edge, which
should be done with sharp pair of scissors--the
wIck-hoder is then returned to its place, and the
wick should be perfectly even with the top of the
tube--fl the Lamp, replace the cone and button,
and it Is ready for use.
G~TTo avoid accidents, the Lamp should never

Other passions naturally try TO unseat from
the hearts throne any dominant power which
lramples them beneath its feet, especially
when its sway has been unhappy. The busy
scenes which men pass through give TO those
other passions--amblIon, avarice, the love
of fame, and many oihers-every opportuni-
ty of delhroning love, if love be in himself
not strong and firm. The daily passing Of

1t is said about town that The. President

Folks position upon this question.
"Potomac," the correspondent of the Pa
triot, writes as follows.
Many speculations are af1oat as TO whe,h
er the President will veto the river and har
Dor bill, should il pass the Senate. Some
say he will, while others say he will not. A
member of his own party from Tennessee
who has held high trusts, aud is presumed IL
know something about Mr.. Folks senument
and way of doing things to catch the popula

WASHINGTON, March %. lS46


1t has been currently srumored Ibis even
ing that Mr. President Polk will send into
Congress war message--against Mexico.
But whether ii will be by way of reply TO
Mr.. Senator DAYroN's resolution, OF per Sc
relating 10 the Republic Of Mexico, without
touching Oregon al al more than has transpir-
ed as ye. My impression is that he doc
umeni will be reply 10 the Senaiors's call
call, and connect the question ofOregon with
that of Mexico-and that the President will
say that the crisis with Mexico has come
the hour for action on our part has arrived,
and viii call upon Congress 10 see the ma
ton put in suitable condition to meet eve
~ emergency. When the document makes
its appearance "w eshall see what what We
shall see."
The Senate had long executive session
to- day. | have not learnt what was done,
except that The nomination of the nomina-
lion of Judge Meek, as u. S. District Attor-
ney for South Alabama was confirmed. MY
former statement that this nomination bad
probably been acted on, was made under an
erroneous impression.
1t is rumored, pretty confidently, that
Collector Morton, OF Boston, must go by the
board--,hai ex Senator Tappan, of Ohio,
who is here. can't save him.
Another rumor is, that dispatches from
England have been received recently at the
State Department, which preclude the set
clement of the Oregon question by compro.
mise.
The debate in the house TO day on the
bill 10 raise two regiments of fiaemen for
Oregon and other purposes, was highly ami
mated and interesting. Mr. McGaughey. of
Indiana, and Mr.. Baker, of Illinois, made
strong, energetic and very able speeches
against the bill. The former gentleman is
new member--one of the youngest in the
the House. He is slim in person and not
very erect, and has sharp, shrlll voice, with
peculiar Tone But he is man of decided
ability, and makes the strongest possible
points in his argument. MIR. Baker made one
of his best efforts--and be is an able speaker.
Mr.. Webster is preparing TO address. the
Senate, in day oftwo, on the Oregon ques-
ton then Mr.. Charles Jared Ingersoll,
of the House, may expect to be sused up"
tetolly for the charges he made against Mr..
Webster, in his speech on the Oregon reso-
lulions, about the Northeastern Boundry
question. A mighty gathering ofpeople will
be present 10 hear the great Bunker Hill
Orator, of course.
1t was reported this morning that the Texas
Senators had arrived in town, but the rumor
soon turned out be without foundation.

"WeIl do remember The occasion ten

Clayton defended Mr.. Webster against the
systematic attacks that were then made upon
him, for having declared in debate, that rath-
er than vote for an unconstitutional appropri-
alton 10 put the country in state oil defence
against an enemy, he would see the enemy
here at the seat ofGovernmeni battering the

and his eyes glisteniug with patriotic fire
"what, sir, was the sentiment uttered by my
honorable friend from Massachusetts that has

ced upon this floor, and elsewhere? 1t was
Sit, (holding up little book containing the

this instrument than he would by the Capio

This is one of the most remarkable party

In regard to the effect produced by Sir K.

GETS of the United States, we call the read
er's attention emphalically 10 one line oil

On the subject Oregon there was nothing

In INDIA, one Of the greatest battles OF our

ponts highly interesting to the reuder, we do
not find that there is anything in it of great
importance TO the Commercial interests of
! the country. The losses in the Potato crop,
and the deficiencies in some other articles,
were certainly likely 10 raise the prices of
Flour and Grain; but il is equally certain,
that the measures of Sir Robert Peel have
had tendency TO reduce those prices. The
facts, therefore, do not show any probability
of practical advantage 10 this country from
| these measures.
