that have been swallowed up by glorious
war, there would be ample resources for
the education of the world. In the year
1886, only sixteen years after the land
ing of the Pilgrim Fathers, College
was founded which still continues to
flourish, and is now accounted the fist
in rank, and the best endowed in our
land, Irefer, 1t is scarcely necessary to
state, to Harvard University. Now We are
informed in recent Treasurer's Report
that the whole property Of the Unlver-
sity, the various accumulations OF more
than two centuries, amounts to no more
than $703,170 sum insufficient to fur
niSh single ship of the line. For eXam-
pie the Ohio cost in the first two years
for building and repairs $S3l,Sl5, and
the Delaware, up to 1912, had cost more
than million of dollars for building and
repairs merely. l do not name these
ships as more costly than others but be-
cause ! happen to have statement OF
their cost at hand. But again, the an
nual expenditures of Harvard University,
for all the purposes Of the College, not
only for the instruction of the Under
graduates but including also the schools
Of Law and Of Divinity, is less than $780,
900. The cost of the Ohio for one year
in salaries and provisions, is reported to
be $220,0OO. That is to say the regn-
lar expenditure for every single line of
battle ship would support nearly five
such Universities as Harvard; or how
many Common Schools! Fellow citl-
zens, I ask again, how long shall these
things be! X. Y.

Remarks Of Mr. WfCkeS.

When the announcement of the death Of MIR.
Adams was made in the House Of Delegates OF
this state, and an adjournment moved, MIR.
Clagget opposed the motion on account of the
press of bust ness. Upon which Mr.. Wickes OF
Kent addressed the House, says the corrcspon-
dent Of The Baltimore Clipper, as follows, in a
strain Of i'm FASHIONED cloqucnce which has more
than once distinguished him on that floor.
Mr.. Speaker-'The geteman from Prince

Muyland Leg islahrc.-Thc bill to re-
insate annual sessions was readily de-
feated. A Bill has been passed provide
ing for the building of a Bridge at Gil
pins Ford on Big Elk. A bill to d.
vorce Mary Giles OF Cecil county from
her husband.
We have no particular information on
the subject, but think the signs are, that
the bill for the Bridge over the Susque-
hanna at Havrc-de-Grace will pass the
House OF Delegates. On Thursday the
following proceedings in relation to it
were had:
The consideration of the "Susquc-
hanna Bridge bill'' was now resumed.
After the various amendments proposed
by the friends Of the measure, had been
made, Mr.. lamar offered, as substitute
for the amendment offered by the friends
Of the bill, proposing to pay to the State
for the privilege of building said bridge,
the sum of 1880 per year, an amend
mcnt providing, among other things, the
imposition Of a caPit2'ioH h.r of % cents
upon the company, and making the com
pany responsible for all direct or conse-
quential damages sustained by proprietorS
of lands situated on the navigable waters
of the Susquehanna river, above said
bridge, whether the same be from inn
pairing or injnring Of fisheries or naviga-
ton, or from other causes.
A very lengthy and warm debate en-
sued upon the substitute offered
The friends ofthe bill strongly oppos-
cd this substitute, as fatal to the bill. AZ
ter much debate, at 10 minutes to 9
O'Clock, the question upon the substitute
was put to vote, and lost by the very
close vote of 3S in the affirmative to 80
in the negative.

Correspondence ofthe Baltimore Sun

WASHINGTON, March .: 6, p. NJ
The Treatyul the Scaate-1he President and
Caoinet-1hec hanecS Of Ratification.
The Senate adjourned al about five o'clock
the treaty having been up until that time.
Its fate is as doubtful as when | last wrote.
The opposition 10 il steadily increases, though
the President and his Cabinet, with the eX-
ception of one Secretary, are using every
human effort 10 have it ratified. lslIl hope
that the President will be sustained; out he
has new and powerful odds to contend a.
gaiast' The upshot oflhe matter may be that
two commissioners, Gone whig and one
democrat) will be appointed to negotiate
with Mexico in oWima t1yma jnis. This
will satisfy Messrs Webster and Crittenden.
Some new historical features have develop
ed themselves. OF these will speak in

that notion of spring should come INTO

from young friend in Memphis, Ten

take the following extract, reserving 9TH

"Spring has been with us about a
month. The trees and all kinds of shrub
berry are putting on their summer dress.
We have a China honey-suckle in our
yard that has fresh sprouts almost tro feet
long. In several yards in town, I have
seen Hyacinths, Roses and violets, in full
bloom. The plum and peach trees are
covered with'their pretty sweet blossoms.
On the dinner table to-day was a dish of
fine crisp lettuce, and understand that
there have been fresh peas in mark ct

Mr.. CLAWS WIrIDRAwAL.-Ke n'"chy
PoItic<.-Both the Louisville Courier and
the Frankfort Commonwealth say that
letters have been received at Frankfort,
(Ky.,) from Washington, which render
it certain that Mr.. Clay will take early
occasion to withdraw his name from all
connection with the next Presidency.
A knowledge Of this fact, says the Cou.
ricr, had unqucstioncd influence on the
action Of the whg convention recently
assembled at Frankfort which nominated
TAYLOR Presidential electors
The resolutions of the convention,
however, we see it stated, recommend
both Mr.. Clay and General Taylor as
suitable candidates for the Presidency,
and declare the determination Of the
wings to support the national conven-
ton nominee.
AT a very large meeting of wings, at
Frankfort a day or two previous to the
convention, G. NJ Clay, and others, adj
vocatcd the passage Of resolutions de-
claring it inexpedient again to bring
Henry Clay upon the political arena.
Mr.. c. NJ. Clay gave some offence to
the friends of his iilusiriouS namesake.
The Lexington Observer says OF the
Kentucky delegates
".All Will vote for either Henry Clay
or Zachary Taylor, as the one or the 9TH
er shall, in convention, be deemed most
certainly available. Mr.. Clay himself
would not allow his name to be consid-
cred in reference 10 the Presidency, if
any other citizen would be more accept
able to the wings Of the Union"
