CONG R E S S

Though Congress has already been in session al
most five months, the Members seem to be in no
haste to terminate the Session. Both Houses took
HOLIDAY on Saturday last.
Thus far, owing to the intrusion of some sub
jects foreign to the duties of Congress, and others
(the printing question: for example) magnifed into
an undue consequence and mystifed by attempts to
discuss details with which it would require little less
than five years apprenticeship to make the young
er members thoroughly acquainted the Kossuth
advent besides, and its incidents, and his doctrines
cast like frebrands into the halls of both National
and State Legislatures the action of Congress has
been embarrassed to such degree that hardly any
question of real consequence has yet been deter
mined at this session.
There is one consolation, however, which pre-
sens itself on this as on all similar occasions, which
is, that much elaboration, caution and even pro-
crastnation is preferable to hasy and rash resolves
and that, tardy as the movements of Congress are,
there is no need of apprehensons that all the mea-
sures of legislation necessary to keep the Govern
ment in regular and useful operation will not be
complished before the session closes.

NJ. KossUTH AT THE SOUTH,

The following brief paragraph, and especially the
closing sentence, in reference to the abiltyof M.
KossUTH as public speaker, conveys the Iost ac-
curate description that have seen Of the impress
sion he has generally made upon intelligent audiences,
since the huzzas in the Northern cities have s,bsded
sufficiently to let him be heard and Judged by the
merits of his eloquence, and not by the rampant
enthusiasm of an excited crowd:
GAS public speaker, Kossuth greatly disappointed
US. He was good special pleader; that was all. A
popular stump orator, al other things being equal and
the prestige Of fame waived would have lowered over
him in reply. His propositions talking faaces
his sentences unoldel distorted truisms OF the
nestness of the man. Of his ngeness of purpose of his
enthusiasm of sentiment there be doubt But the
effort at effect evilent the artificial fountain
playing, not the mountain spring pouring its full
clear yolume."--N o. Crescent

FROM SOUTH AMERICA.

By the steamships Winfield Scou and lima,
arrived at Panama. we have advices from Valparaiso
to the Goth of March, nearly month later than
our previous adyices The principal news is reative
to the Flores expedition.
FLoREs had purchased the steamship Chile ana en-
barked from Callao upon it, The American ship Lyons
had sailed from Valparaiso with three hundred men and
large supplies Of ammunition join the expedition at
Guayaquil.
The general impression is that Flores has allowed the
Ecuadoran Government much time to guard against
his movements and that his expedition win therefore
prove failure.
The Peruyans generally in favor of the movement
and supposed that Flores received covert aid from
the Government of the country The result will proba-
bly, trouble between Ecuador and Peru in case Of
failure of the expedition.
The British mail steamer Lima while passing up the
river Guayaquil mistaken for the vessel Of Flores
and fired into from the forts.
We have further details of outrages by the re-
voed prisoners the penal colonies in the Galapagos
seized the whale ship George Rowland Capt Cromwell
of New Bedford and after putting the captain and
Shore according to account and numbering them
according to another proceeded toward Guayaqul with
the intention of opposing Flores and thus ngraatng the
Ecuadoran Government The party fell in with two
schooners belonging Flores, and having seized them,
murdered those board in most brutal manner includ-
ing the nephew and son-in-law Of Gen. Flores On
of these vessels they cut the threats of twenty
men On their voyage they captured by Swedish
frgate carried into Guayaqu, and delivered into the
hands of the Government.N Y. Commercial advertiser.

The outpost occupied by the artillery relieved early
last month by troop of Dragons and the company
ordered to return Fort Brown Part Of the way down
the river, they carried steamer On board the

MARYLAND COLONIZATION SOCIETY.

From the annual report Of this society we find that 1t
has participated largely in the increased impetus which
has been given to the Of colonization generally
During the year 1851 it sent to Cape Pamas one hundred
and six emigants For twenty years the State has made
annual grant Of ten thousand dollars which, with the
raised by the society have increased to an aggre-
gate Of 7049. They have sent Liberia one thou
sand and forty-nine emigrants; purchased territory
extending hundred and thirty miles along the coast
erected public buildings opened roads into the interior
and provided for the education Of the children Of the co.
lonsts and natives at The public schools The State APP
ropriaons by which the society have been enabled to
accomplish such beneficial results for the African race
has expired by its limitation Efforts are being made
to have this grant renewed and we can scarcely doubt
that the Legislature Of Maryland seeing what good re-
suits are flowing from their original action will renew
they do not increase, their annual appropriation.

night, contradicts report current yesterday that
the railroad bridge at Harpers Ferry had been car
