WASHINGTON, Jan. u.
SENATE-A petition was presented by Mr..
John 2. Hale, of New Hampshire, signed by
1900 Unitarian clergymen and laymen, asking
for the withdrawal of our tioops from Mexico,
and the appointment of Commissioners to
treat with that country.
Mr.. Sewer, from the Committee on Foreign
Relations, reported joint resolution, provid-
ing that board of commissioners shall be es-
tablished to ascertain and determine the
amount of claims of IT citizens against Mex
ico-with amendments declaring that tbs
United States shall in no case become liable
for such claims.
Mr. Dickinson, of New YORK, moved to take
up his resolution, previously offered, and
spoke at length on the subject, advocating the
annexation of all territory now in our posses
sion, leaving the slavery question TO be deter
mined by the people inhabiting such territory.
Messrs. Yulee and Hale submitted substi-
tutes for the ten regiment bill, which they
intend to bring forward at the proper time.
Mr.. Clayton resumed his speech upon that
bill.
HoUsE.-In Committee the discussion of
the Presidents Message was resumed; and
Mr.. Lincoln, of Illinois, made speech COM
batting the idea that the war was commenc-
ed by the shedding of American blood upon
American soil.

Ex-President Tyler has published card in
the N, J. Journal of Commerce, in answer to
an article in the Evening Post in, which Mr..
Tyler is represented as connected with a secret
political association said to exist in New York
city, the object of which is to promote the
interests of Gen. Taylor as candidate for the
Presidency.
Mr.. Tyler pronounces this whole charge
false, and says, he knows of no such associa-
ton as the Post speaks of, and has had moth
ing TO do with any political meeting, or in
trigues or secret movements of trading poll
ticians-a tribe of animals which he heartily
desrises.

Miss Beecher.

A story was in the papers week or two
since, that Miss Beechor, one of the ladies
sent west by the Board of National Popular
Education, of which ex Governor Slade is the
General Agent, had entered nunnery in
Cincinnati. The lady, in letter to the New

"the ridiculous imputation," says that the
only occasion for such story, so far as she
can learn, is that young lady somewhere i'll
Ohio, and one who has been no way connect

Shakspeare's House.

A grand performance was given at Convent
Garden Theatre, on the 7th of December last,
for the purpose of raising funds to pay the Ii
abilities incurred by the committee that pur-
chased the Shakespeare House, to save it from
destruction or to prevent its falling into the
hands of spectators. All the best actors in
London volunteered their services. The en-
tert ainment consisted of selections from Shak-
s2eares plays. The house was crowded, and
nearly El0O0 was received.
The following opening addrers, written by
Mr.. Charles knight, was delivered by MIR.
Phelps:
The Macedonian stood within the gates
OF the devoted Thebes. Relentless haes
Ask'd to he loos'd in boodshed and in fire:
Spare no-the conqnefor crled-YeI, stay the Tyre
of glorious Pindarus in Thebes was strung
Search for his house these fated piles among;
Perish the city, down with every tower,
But save, fion ruin save the Muses. sacred bower.
The victor Time has stood on Avons side
TO doom the fall of many home of pride;
Rapine DER Evesham's gided fame has strobe,
And gorgeous Keniiworth has paved the road;
But lime has gently laid his withering hands
On frail lolIsethe .ouse of Shakespeare stands ;
Centuries are gone-allen' the cloud Capp'd towns )
But Shakspeare's home his boy hoods home is ours.
Ye, who this Night kind greetings bring to cheer
The hstriolc grounds assembled here
Cherish the task, with reverent love to hold
One relic of dramas age of gold
For there, where Avon's long immortal wave
Lingers in wiowy banks by Shakspeare's grave
The pilgrims come Ohio and the Rhine
Send forth their Torshippers to Stratford's shrine
And still they come to hail. from every cline,
The Poet of all countries and "all Time"
PerchanCe, in some dark hour, a venal stage
May leave to book worms Shaksptare's living page;
FIJI on the buskns TO some Newgate gang,
And give the comic mask to drunken slang;
Then, when no tear shall fall for JuetS woe,
Falstaf be voted dull, and hamlet 'slow,"-
Then, Betterto and Garricks rise
TO win the crowd from scenes the good despise--
The lowly roof, which you are here to claim
From cold neglect estcraiiOn'S shame,
May stand, the trorhy of a nobler taste
beacon light amidst the dramas waste.
Yes! when a unborn shall gather round
His haowe ed roof, and cUnsecrated ground,
And secret tears and smiles of sudden glee,
Attest his sway-the minds own jubilee;
Remembrance perhaps, may turn to this brief hour,
Which yields our feeble homage To his power;
Our Shak speafe's home is snatchd from quick decay
Is the work fnisled-or nut yet begun?
Complete Maintain ! Do all that needs be done =
Yes! England heart now beats at ShakSpeares call

GEN. KBARNEY AND Mr.. BENToN.-We have
received accounts from Washington stating
that at the Court Martial, on Saturday, on a
witness refusing to answer Col. Fremont's
question, whether Gen. Kearney was not the
author of certain questions propounded, Col.
Benton denounced Gen. Kearney in such
terms as to cause much CONSERVATION and
excitement among the Court and witnesses.
The Court room was consequently cleared of
all disinterested parties and it is said that the
matter will not end thus.

THE FIVE CRADLES.

The following story, which We have late.
ly seen in print, is worth repeating:
A man, who had recently become q vo-
tary to Bacchus, returned home one night
in an intermediate state of booziness ; thai
is to say, he was comfortably drunk, but
perfectly conscious Of bis unfortunate situa.
ton. Knowing that bis wife was asleep,
he decided to attempt gaining his bed with.
out disturbing her. and, by slseping of his
lnebriation, conceal the fact from her alto.
gether. He reached the door of his room
without creating much disturbance, and Of.
ter Eliminating a few moments upon the mat
ter, he thought if he could reach the bed
post, and hold on by it willie he slipped out
of his apparel, the remainder of the feat
would be easily accomplished. Unfortun-
ately for the success of his scheme, q era
die stood in a direct line with the post, a.
bout the middle of the floor. Of course,
when his shins came in contsct with the
aforesaid piece of furniture, he pitched
over it with q perfect l~ooseness, and upon
gaining an erect position, ere an equili-
brium was established, he went over il back
ward in an equslly summary manner
Again he struggled to his feet and vent
bead foremostover the bowero Of infant hap
At length with the fifth fall, his
patience was exhausted, and the obstacle
was yet to be overcome. In desperation
he cried out to his sleeping partner-sWif.!
wife! How many cradles haze yop got in
the house? I've fallen over Five AID here's
another right sfors nell! Suffice il to say
that his wife was BY this time completely
awake, and a curtain lecture ensued, which
rang in bis ears for many ! succeeding day.

GEN. TAYLOR-NO TERRITORY.

The wing papers attempted to palm of
upon their readers the impression that Gen.
Taylor was opposed to the acquisition of
Mexican territory. They must be i~nsincsre
and dishonest in this, for they cannot have
forgotten, the letter Of Gen. Taylor to Gen.
Gaines, in which he says:
81 do not intend to carry on my operations
as previously stately beyond saltillo-
|deeming it next to imp'acticable to do SO.
Il: then becomes asquestiou a. to what is
best to be done. It seems to me, the most
judicious course to be pursued on our part
would be to take possession, at once, ofthe
line we would accept by negotiation, ex-
tending from the Gulfof Mexico to the Pa
cifc, and occupy the same OF keep what
we already have possession Of, and that
with Tampico, which ! hope to take in the

soon AZ l occupy Saltillo will include SIX

throwing on her the responsibility and ex.
perse of carrying on an offensive war: al
the same time closely blockading all he,
ports on the Pacific and the Gulf. A course
lof this kind if persevered in for a short
time, would soon bring her to her proper
senses, and compel her to sue for peace
provided there is a government in the coun
try sufficiently stable for US to treat with,
which. fear, will hardly be the case fol
many years to come
