BETTER LATE THAN NEvER-We perceive that
the Board of Assistant Aldermen last Monday,
passed resolution requesting the committee who
have had under consideration for long time past,
aiormer resolution Of the Board to put the slip foot
OF Courtlandt street, up at auction and lease it
the highest rate, to any individual or company that
will furnish proper boats and ample accommoda-
tons to the public. We have tried hard TO get
this committee to report, and we are glad to see
that the matter cannot now be put off any longer.
lflegslation was ever necessary for the interests
of the public, it is in this case. We hope, before
many weeks, to see more trips made in the mig hit,
and the ferage reduced to three cents, which
will be the case if the committee do their duty.

Besides these vessels, there are several packet
ships due at this port, Philadelphia, and other
cities, which will also bring late news.
Now it may possibly happen that the specula-
tors in famine and -four, in starvation and mise

these vessels before the p-ess for the devil always
helps the wicked, and we therefore desire TO
caution the public against being deceived

THE CAPTURE OF GUAYMAs-OuR NAvY.-The
statement contained in the Herald Of Friday last,
that battle had been fought the Pacific coast,
and victory gained and new territory captured,
by some of our naval force stationed in that quar-
ter, proves to be true The details of the action,
and its results, have been communicated by letter
sent to Washington from the scene of contest and
victory. We gave the letter in the Herald of yes
terday, and revert to it now in order to pay just
tribute OF praise to the gallant actors in the expe-
dition alluded to.
What is our navy about z" has been for the
! asst six months, the ill-natufed enquiry of Sc,
OF GROWERS, who from a safe distance contem-
plate the war What is our navy not doing, that
opportunity affordsl ought rather TO be the ques.
ton. But we think we furnish the grumblers
with an answer even to this, their churIish inter-
rogahon. what is our navy about 2" forsooth.
Why Tabasco, Laguna, Guaymas, Vera Cruz,
the frowning walls Of old San Juan d'Uloa Them
selves; The expeditions of Lisutenants Semmes,
Parker, and Passed Midshpmen Rodgers,
Hynson, Fitzgerald, and others, fully attest that
the spirit which impelled our heroes of the wave
IN former wars, is neither dead nor sleeping.
Our veteran commanders are still the unainch-
ing men who "den't give up the ship"

now, as then-the same in the Gulf of
Mexico, on the Pacific coast or the har-
Dor Of Tripo How are we TO Judge of the mill
tary or naval character OF our soldiers sailors
but by their individual acts ? and thus Judging,
the bravery of our navy is not to be questioned.
The younger officers are impatient of restraint,
and the strictest discipline is necessary to keep
them from engaging in boat expeditions on their
own responsibility.
III we were at war with nation whose ships
covered every sea-if an ocean separated us from
our enemy-then an opportunity would not be
wanting for our navy to repeat the indispensable
acts OF successful bravery which marked their
conduct all through former wars. But the
case is vastly different now. The Mexicans are
aland-loving, bush-seeking, skuIr-and.fre, fight
and-run sort of an enemy; and the rivers which
make inland are full Of bars, or too shallow for
any craft in the service to pass through. Our
navy, thus far, has done all in its power towards
carrying forward to a successful issue the war in
which we engaged and we need no pledge
but their past conduct assure US that its officers
will, whenever and wherever called upon to do
80, preserve the ustre Of their own beloved stars
and stripes.

Congressional PrOcoedings-CIose OF the Ses-
sion--Mhat has been dOne7

Every citizen of this great country, not SO tied
TO party 10 overlook every abuse Of the power
vested in Congress, cannot but condemn the waste
of time and treasure, the members Of this Con
gress guilty of. There appears to be a settled
determination on the part of portion of both
houses to place every obstacle in the way of the
regular business before them, and to fritter away
the session without perfecting any OF the neces-
sary and important measures the state OF the
country requires.
More than two months of the three granted by
the constitution for the short session OF Congress,
have expired, and but little more than three
weeks remain. Within these three weeks the
bills for the prosecution of the war; Tor rals-
ing additional revenue, by modifying and al
tering the tariff; for the improvement OF rivers
and harbors; Tor settling the Mexican war;
aud for the modification of the independent
treasury must be disposed of, If they are
disposed of at all this term. Instead of max
ing the best use of the short time still
let we daily see the most nonsenscal and out
J yeous propositions brought forward and deba-
I'D, TO the exclusion of every thing connected
with the wants of the country. lis the most ex-
traordinary thing in The world, that more rapid
progress cannot be made in perfecting those
measures really required. There is so much
petty sectional prejudice,s so much time consumed
in petty personal explanations, so much talking
for buncombe, that short session slips away be-
fore halt the members have made all the politi-
cal capital they consider themselves entitled to.
There has been more time consumed upon thai
three million bill than was at all necessary. The
President asks for this sum for special purpose,
and every bubble is resorted to by both parties
10 defeat whatever object he has in view; and we
have no doubt but that in the event ofthe amount
being appropriated, it will be so shackled with
restrictions as to prevent its being of any service.
If the members of Congress would stay at home,
we could do without their services; but SO long ms
they receive their daily pay, we want them tc
