effect, favorite air; and expects youto "pay

able bodied man saluted us with tune per-
formed by the swapping Of the fingers, accom-
panied with various antic leapings, and then
followed us long distance with extended
hands. Even Yankee ingenuity might find
itself here outdone. And yet many OF this
degraded class appear in some sort contented
with their mode of life. 1t is with them
regular profession, to which they are trained
from generation to generation. The political
and religious institutions of the country do
nothing to improve them, and they themselves
exhibit little or no wish for any improvement.
Yet among them, and beneath their rags and
filth, you will often see fine countenances.
and no doubt by proper measures, they might
without difficulty be raised to better destiny.

CONGRESSIONAL.
WASHINGTON, March 81.

SENATE.-Mr. Yulee offered resolution
calling upon the Secretary of the Treasury
for information in relation to the receipts and
expenditures of hospital money for the last
fifteen years.
Mr., Dickinson, from The committee on Fl
nance, reported bill for The establishment of
branch-mint in the city of New York.
The Senate then proceeded to the considera-
ton of the loan bill
Mr.. Davis, of Massachusetts, inquired,
whether the public debt would be more than
hundred millions of dollars if all accounts
were closed to morrow.
Mr.. Anterior said that would depend upon
certain contingencies.
Mr.. Niles spoke briefly. This bill he would
vote for as the best that could be obtained.-
He would inquire whether this was the only
measure of finance to come before the Senate,
for the supply of its wants. Mr.. Anterior
replied that he knew of no other, except the
tea and coffee bill.
Mr.. Niles said the revenue was insufficient
in his opinion, to supply the wants of the
Treasury. The statements of the Secretary
of the Treasury were SO full of errors that
they could not be relied upon. This being
the only measure. the only qestion was as to
its form. He had supposed that Treasury
notes would be restored to, as the most con-
venient to the commercial interests.
Mr.. flanagan has the floor for tomorrow.
The Senate then went into Executive Session
and remained three hours, engaged in the
discussion relative to the published treaty,
without any definite action upon the subject.
HousE,-The Speaker communicated the
joint resolutions of the Legislature of Mas
sachusetts, expressing the gratitude of the
Governor and people of Massachusetts, to the
Congress of the United States, and the Com
mittee of Congress, &c., for their manifesto
ton of respect for the memory of the late
Mr.. Adams. and their regard and sympathy
for his family,&c. The venerable gentleman

shrouded in black and he occasionally re-

House.
There was sort of a test of opinion in the
House to-day on the Ten Regiment Bill from
the Senate. The bill is on the Speakers
table 1t cannot be taken up out of order
without suspending the rule. Mr.. Boyd of
the military committee moved to suspend the
rule, so as to refer the bill to that committee
but he was overruled. The vote was 80 to
S7-a bare majority of two. A motion to
suspend cannot be made except on Mondays.
These signs are very strong against the bill.
Mr.. HARRISON moved to make the Joint reso-
luton refunding moneys advanced for the
transportation of Volunteers, the order of the
day for Wednesday, which was agreed to.
The Speaker announced as the first business
in order, the message of the President, refus-
ing to communicate Mr.. Slidell's instructions.
Several resolutions of inquiry were offered
and agreed to, when on motion the House ad.
