The session oil the Senate yesterday was
consumed in introducing resolutions for an ad-
journment of Congress. The latter part of July
appears to be about the time most of the mem.
bers in favor of, but the probability is that an
adjournment will take place nearer the latter part
of August than July. Al all events, the session
will not terminate until after the arrival of the
steamer leaving Liverpool on the 10Th Of July, as
the Oregon treaty will be returned by that packet;
and it may be necessary for Congress to be in
session upon its receipt, for the purpose ofsetlng
anything necessary for the perfect establishment
OF the terms Of that instrument.
IL is also very probable-that both Houses ofCon-
gress will require every moment Of the interim TO
perfect the important measures under considera-
tion, such the tariff, the Independent Treasury
and the Warehousing bills.
We have before us ut least two months more of
this session, and there can be nothing done of any
consequence in commercial matters until after
that time has elapsed. Fortunately, it covers
nearly the whole Of the dull season, and the in
jury will not, therefore, be great it otherwise
would.

In reviewing the above statistics, we find that
the capital invested in sail and steam vessels, and
the value OF property transported therein, is ap-
preaching near to one hundred millions annually;
and yet this immense business, nearly equang
the whole foreign export trade of the United
Staies seems but little to employ the attention OF
Congress. BY private expenditure alone, has the
public comfort and safety been provided for,
while the dilapidated unfinished harbors around
Lake Erie afford but little protection to the great
business doing there. Let Congress, then, while
she provides literally for the navy, seaport for,-
ications, brcak-water, light houses, &C., paid for
in part by the western States, for the good Of
ocean commerce, also use the constitutional
power to regulate trade between the several
States, and provide for the general welfare" By
making suitable appropriations for the improve
ment Of western harbors, and the advancement
oflake commerce.

ton with these gentlemen, Mr.. Burke has done
great dealt elevate the Catholic religion in the
United States, and to explain away the bitter
prejudices and i'll will which many clergy
men OF ether persuasions have endeavored to
fassen ON IT, He has shown liberality, candor,
and earnestness in all his discourses; and in in
vesngating the truth, never addressed the passions
and preiudices Of his hearers, but, on the con-

by calm, sober, and dispas.ionate logic. Mr..

larly by the numerous congregation whose .pi-

The Oregon Trcnty-Its Ratification In
England.

1t gives us no little pleasure to state that the
Oregon treaty, as made, signed, and ratified in
Washington, went out yesterday in the Great
Western, in charge of General Armstrong, our
highly esteemed Consul for Liverpool. We un-
derstand that General A. is not only entrusted
with the American dispatches and the copy of
the treaty, from the State Department, but he
goes as bearer of important dispatches from Mr..
Pakenham to the English government.
The treaty thus taken out will reach Liverpool
about the Sth proximo, when General Armstrong
will, of course, proceed Immediately to London.
II will unquestonably be at once ratified by Her
Majestys government as its terms originated with
them. In the event OF its immediate ratification
in London, the intelligence of the fact will come
out in the steamer of the 10Th proximo, and reach
here about the 4h of August. 1t is very likely that
Congress will remain in session till then, and the
whole matter be closed up forever, to the salts
faction of all lovers of peace and harmony.
1t lis difficult to say when another question will
arise to affect the peace of the two countries All
we have to do is to keep in our proper path, do
what is right, and TO submit to nothing wrong,
even if we do take possession of California and
North Mexico

Government Flnances-Indepcndent Treasu-
ry, and Treasury Notes.

The policy of the government issuing treasury
notes for the full amount required to meet the
ordinary and extraordinary expenditures, growing
out of the position of our affairs with Mexico, has
been pretty well discussed by the organs of both
parties, and there appears to be very little opposi-
ton to the measure.
Il would be much better to issue treasury notes
at rate OF interest, varying little below the legal
standard, in denominations as low as fiites and as
high as thousands, than to come into the market
under existing circumstances for n large loan
Even in the event OF direct loan being deemed
advisable, il would be better to issue a certain
amount OF treasury notes, for the purpose of re-
heving the money market, and to enable the gov
eminent to make more favorable loan than it
otherwise could. These treasury notes would be-
come generally circulated through the country,
and would be valuable acquisition to the cur
rency, without requiring the withdrawal of cor
responding amount Of specie, and without deprc-
ciating the value Of the circulating medium.
The issue of large amount of treasury notes,
in anticipation of the establishment of the inde-
pendent treasury system, would remove the
fears of all those opposed to that BILL and bring
that act into operation gradually, as to prevent
any of those contractions by the banks, predicted
Vc SohoAuci tio uSPoSdi Ol INC surplus revenue,
or any important matter, and a large issue of
treasury notes, particularly as the government
must sooner or later adopt the Independent Trea-
sury system, and dissolve its connection with
hanks, movement equally desirable, and equally
important.
Whatever may be the result of the efforts
making to reduce the tariff, and whether
the revenue of the present bill, or any one tha,
may be adopted, viii be above or below the
amount required, for the annual expenses of the
government, we want no accumulation in the
treasury in any shape; and there is no way of
preventing this, but by issuing notes payable on
demand, which can at any time be presented for
redemption. surplus will in this way be out Of
the question, and the government will not be able
to draw from the channels of trade, for any length
of time, n dollar ef specie.
