1-s- The Washington correspondent of the Bos-
ton Courier gives the following description of Mr..
Stephens, of Georgia.
There is nothing of Mr.. Stephens but his mental
organization. He has body which looks like
Calvin Edson's. Though of more than medium
height, he does not weigh hundred pounds. Mr.
John Quincy Adams used to say he reminded him
much of John Randolph. He has small sunken
eye, blanched and cadaverous countenance, high
cheek bones and asquat face. His arms and fingers
are long, spindling, skinny, and witch-like. The
most of his brain is above and before his ears,
which stand out so that one could hang hat on
either of them. He has sharp, squeaking voice,
which, though weak, enables him to catch the ear
, of the Speaker very readily. He is COOL self-pos-
psessed, and self-relying. He speaks with readiness
and fiuency, weighing all his words, and pausing
ing at every period His discourse flows steadily
on in strong current, he ampfes but little, and
repeats himself not at all. Each paragraph has its
own meaning, and this meaning is significant.
Composing in this way, and uttering himself in this
manner he makes strong and distinct impression.
He uncoils his thoughts fathom by fathom, and cuts
off his lengths just as they wanted. Neither
are there any horse-tas made in the operation
everything square cut. 1t is this clearness, this
precision and decision of idea and of language,
this masculine gait of forcble thought and accurate
expression, which makes Mr.. Stephens although
without oratoric graces properly speaking, one of
the most attractive, as he certainly is one of the
most able, speakers in the House. The source OF
it all is in his pure intellectually, the locality and
quality of his mental machinery. As man of mere
intellectual force, he is, perhaps, outranked in
the body to which he belongs.

IHE LATE DIR. MARTIN.-Ihe Paris cores
pondent of the Boston Courier writes:
By the way, word of poor Martin. AT home,
he was bitter political writer and was the author
of celebrated series of denunciatory articles
When Mr.. Polk was nominated for the presidency
he wrote his life, and was afterwards appointed to
Rome. Yet he was in some respects well qualified
for his station. He vulgar in his person and
manners, but at the same time scholar, and IA
miliar with the literature of the Continent He had
lively mind, and shone in conversation, though
he was addicted to rhOdomontade. He well
received in French and English circles, and was
favorte with the weird old Countess of E!gin,
widow of the Ambassador to Turkey, whom Byron
lashes for his dealings in the Greek marbles. After
the revolution of February, Martin was much
sought after by Theirs, and others, who desired to
learn something of our political system. Was it
not a little curious to our Ambassador, left
much to himself, at his hotel, in the Rue de Lille,
if he had been at his country seat on the banks
of the Schuylkill, while his secretary was invited
all over Paris! What else could be expected
How could NJ Theirs, or NJ Odillon Barrot, or
M. Marrast, or NJ. Arago, desire the presence of
man who could only turn red in the face upon
being introduced to them, not being able 10 speak
word of their language! No man could have
felt the absurdty of all this more keenly than DR..
Martin. He had an American heart, and must
have blushed at the spectacle exhibited by
country in Paris, for every foreign Ambassador
there, even the Persian, speaks French, excepting
only those of the United States of America and
the Sublime Porte.

ADJOURNMENT OF CoNGREss.-The National
Intelligencer of Monday, the 9Th, says: The last
days sitting of the second session of the Both Con-
gress was extended, with the exception of brief
recess of an hour or so, from ii O'Clock on Satur
day morning until sunrise yesterday morning. BY
the list of acts passed, it will be perceived that all
the annual appropriation bills have become laws,
though as we had foreseen, not without severe con-
flct as well in the committees in the two Houses
in which more excitement and unpleasant feelings
were manifested than has perhaps ever before been
witnessed at the close of the session. The general
appropriation bill was barely saved at the latest
moment, through the perseverance and patriotic
efforts of those gentlemen in both Houses who
not willing to see the wheels of the Government
stopped, or impeded, by Withholding the supplies
necessary to keep them in motion. Such yes
terday the complete exhaustion, well of the Off
GERS OF the two Houses, of reporters, that Ii
has been impossible for to offer to readers TO-
day anything like regular report of the proceed
lngs In either House during the sitting OF Saturday
We must content ourselves, therefore, with stating
the result of the most important questions left Tor
final decision on that day, as follows:
First, no bill has passed providing Govern
ment for either Territories of New Mexico or Cali
fornia. These measures fell through from the
inability of the two Houses to concur in any pro-
position. At the last moment, however, bill from
the House was taken up by the Senate, and has
become a law, for extending the revenue laws over
the United States to those Territories. The bill TO
establish the Home Department has become law,
having passed the Senate after long, tedious and
rather stormy debate. The bill for creating Ter
ritoral Government in Minnesota has also become
law, the House of Representatives having receded
from its amendment proposing to postpone the opera
ton Of the bill to the tenth of this mouth. A bill
was passed in reference to the next census, direct
ing the heads of some of the Departments and the
Attorney General to prepare and report the next
session of Congress- bill to authorize the taking of
the seventh census of the United States. Business
of miscellaneous character transacted, and
after having disposed of the Civil and Diplomatic
Appropriation bill, the Senate, at about o cock
in the morning went into Executive session, when
Mr.. Senator Hannegan, of Indiana, was nominated
by the President, and confirmed by the Senate, to
be Minister of the United States to Berlin

JENNY LIMBS RETIREMENT FROM TIL: STAGE
Il is perfectly well understood ny the musical world
that Jenny Lind will longer appear on the boards
of the Italian opera, but that she viii Continue 10
sing at public concerts. Several circumstance
have prompted her to adopt TINS measure ne
large fortune which il is supposed she has anassed-
and the great exertiou and fatigue which the per
ormance of an opera naturally creates, induce her
to Withdraw from the stage. The very great fePul,

possible to conceive she will not draw together a

The amount of cotton consumed is 559O00 pounds

of yards printed is $4,000, and of dyed 2,015 900.
The different companies use 25 100 tons of an

sumo 70 SIG gallons of sperm oil and 80 GOO of lard

turing corporations, is always open for the conye-
nience and comfort of those employed by the differ
ent Companies. 1t is under the superintendent of
once of the best surgeons and physicians, and is
said to be in fourishing condition.

a little over $500 now it is estimated at IS 900.

Fashions for February.


The last few weeks have not been very prOduc-
tive Of novelty in the world of fashion. For Golf
fures black lace is at TIE present moment very re-
cherche, the fanchon style being the most adopt
ed barbes of black and white lace are also used,
reaching very little lower than the ears, and fast
ened with light flowers, inteTmxed with long blades
of grass and foliage, so airy that yTesembe te'h
ers The small caps, trimmed with flowers, either
pointed in the front in the Mary Stuart style,
are almost the only dress coiiures at present worn
but it is expected that turbans and small Wreaths
will again become fashionable. All the bOnnets are
of black or dark-colored velyeis, and lined with
white satin either quilted and wadded or plain;
those for morning dress must be but little trimmed,
and even then with velvet only; no flowers Or
feathers fall of black lace is worn with them.
The most elegant capotes are OF quilted and Waddea
satin, lined with white satin-the same for all
colors. thew are simply trimmed with ribbon
crossed, or with narrow terry velvet OF the same
color as the satin. We have this week seen some
in most charming taste; one OF pearl grey, trimmed
with an English lace sewn round the edge OF The
'front.' and another in the same style, OF sky-btue
color; but these We're bonnets for deml-tolie1e.
In proportion as the morning cofIlTes are simple,
so are those for visits elegant and recherche. For
lining large clcaks, squire is recherche; but for

in no case two alike. They are placed above the
