The Treasury Report.

In pursuance of new regulation made by Congress
the Secretary of the Treasury sent to the public printers
on the 10th of November last his report containing the
Estimates of additional appropriations required for the
service OF the fiscal year ending June 80, 1s49 and fo
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1850" This is mos
voumnous report, extending to ls6 printed pages and
distributed in printed documentary FORM the first
day Of the session, among the members of Congress
This report contains the basis of action by Congress- and
renders the immediate presentation of the usual annual
report less necessary. The practice is most ex-
cellent ene Congress have all the estimates in de.
tail the first day of the session already before them
in printed documentary form. This course, however
renders more difficult to have the annual report also
ready at the time. 1t WILL however, be presented
by the Secretary TO both houses of Congress Monday
next, being an earlier date than was usual with most of
his predecessors.

FAREWELL ADDRESS OF THE
SPEAKER.

GENTLEMEN when you conferred upon me
the distinguished honor of presiding over ths
deliberations of this house, it was, and has con-
tinually been my aim and purpose so to admin
lister the duties appertaining 10 my official sta
ton, as to acqut myself OF just responsibility.
The appreciation, which you have now signi-
fed, of the manner in which have endeavored
to discharge those duties, is truly grateful to my
feelings and demands my warmest thanks.
feel, gentlemen, that if my official conduct
has justly merlted your APPROVAL am indebted
for such Hltterlng consumnation, to that uni
form courtesy, kindness, aud iOrbearance which
have received at the hands of every gentleman,
upon this floor, whether members, or officers OF
this house, during the present session.
Our labors are about to be .concluded and their
results submitted to the judgment of our con-
slituents. To meet their just expectations, has,
| doubt not, been with each Of us, a controlling
motive in the execution of that high trust which
they have seen fit to commit to our hands.
Two Of our members, who, few days since
entered this hall with us in the vigor OF health
and flushed with the bright promises Of life aud
hope aud honest ambition, have been suddenly
snached from our midst, and that forever.
Carpenter Emerson! where are they? Gone
to that bourne whittier we are all Fastening, and
whence no traveller returns.
Surely our life is fitting shadow, and the tie
WHICH ulltcS us here more 0rtlie tlan inc spl-
der's most attenuated thread. None Of us,
trust, will soon forget these sole nm and most at
feeling vsitatons, or disregard the moral teach
ings which they are eminently fitted to lmpart
But, gentlemen, the hour is at hand when oul
present relations will be dissolved, aud we shall
separate. That we shall all meet again upon the
shores of tine is not to be reckonei among hd'
nan coming encies. For myself, can truly say
that | shall cherish the remembrance oil the
scenes which are about to close with peculiar
qualification; and | entertain thl conf ent as
surance that amongst all my future recolIectlons
OF the past, their freshness and quctnesS VIII be
the most delicious.
venture to express, gentlemen, my best wish
es for your safe and happy return to the social
precincts OF your constituency, and more espe'
clally TO the precious endearments of the dones
tic circle; AMI you will permit me to add, also
my humble, but iervent prayer, that when these
ctr mortal frames are Frustrated by the hand OF
death and consigned to cold obstruction, it may
be the nexpressby happy lot Of eacn one of US
TO find our names enrolled amongst that grea
Assembly. IN the Court Of High Heaven, which
shall never break up.
