ARRIVAL OF THE BALTIC.
Oh I1IOIIUIl OF MT. AIIen,
The House adjourned.


The substantial and magnificent steamship
Baltic, ofthe Collins line of European steamers,
arrived in our waters yesterday and anchored
off Alexandria, the pilot in charge of her not
being willing, as we learn, at the then condition
of the tide, to bring her up to the Arsenal, as
was intended.
The Baltic left New Y ork near noon of We'd
nesday, and about dusk on Thursday reached
the mouth of the Potomac, where she anchored
until day light yesterday morning. She then
proceeded up the river and arrived off Alexan-
dria between - and l O'Clock.
She is under the command of Lieut.. Fox, of
the U. S. Navy, and has on board number of
guests, consisting of some of the members of the
municipal government and other distinguished
citizens of New York. and some gentlemen from
other States, who were invited to participate in
this agreeable excursion.
Our neighbors of Alexandria welcomed the
arrival of the "Baltic" with repeated cheers and
salute OF thirty-one guns, which were hand
somely returned cheer for cheer and gun for gun
from the steamer, presenting altogether quite an
animated spectacle for usually quiet neigh
borhood,
The s'Baltic" is really noble specimen of
naval architecture, presenting in all her equip
ments and embellishments a fine sample of a
floating palace, and rejecting the highest credit
upon the Judgment, liberality, and public spirit
of the projectors of an enterprise which is in
every respect worthy of the fostering care
of the Government.-Nat Int. of Saturday.

- HOUSE. OF DELEGATES.

A long and interesting debate took place III
the House of D elegates Saturday, on the ques-
ton of exempting agricultural productions from
taxation in which Messrs. Barbour OF Culpeper
Wallace of Petersburg, Lewis Of Harrison and
Scott of Fauquier participated. We took copious
notes of the discussion. but the pressure of other
matters compels us to defer their publication to
another day. Mr.. Barbour said that he would
have been content to give silent vote on the
question, but for the extraordinary course of
gentlemen representing city influence. He
argued that the new system of taxation, shape
that system as we might, would bear heavily on
the agricultural interest, and it would be iniqui-
tous to add unnecessarily to its burthens. The
agricultural interest embraced ive-sixths of the
taxable property of the Commonwealth. The
agricultural interest was in the ascendancy in
that body, and he deplored the aspect which
this question had assumed, inasmuch as it had
a tendency to divide the friends of agriculture,
and place the balance of power in the hands of
those who represented hostile interest. He
appealed to his agricultural friends not to be
distracted by the petty question of taxing cattle,
but to stand together and present an undivided
front against city influence, &c.
Mr. Wallace replied with considerable spirit
and force to Mr. Barbour's views on this point,
strongly depreca ting any combination of the
agricultural interest to crush the feeble inte-
rest of the cities. But as we before remarked
we have not space at present for fair and in
telligent statement of the arguments advanced
on either side. Mr.. Wallace was followed by
Mr.. Lewis of Harrison, and Mr.. Scott of Fau-

| Let this day be ever remembered It saw
assembled from the several colonies those great
men whose names have come down to us. and
willdescend toal posterity. Their proceedings
are remarkable for simplicity, dignity, and une-
qualled ability. At that day, probably, there
could have been convened on no part of this
globe an equal number of men possessing great
er talents and ability, or animated by higher
and more patriotic motive. They were men
iuil OF the spirit of the occasion, imbued deeply
with the general sentiment of the country, of
large comprehension, of long foresight, and of
Few words They made no speeches for osten-
iatlon' they sat with closed doors, and their
great maxim was .Jaire sans dire" 1t is true
they only wrote; but the issuing of such writ
ings, on such authority, and at such a crisis,
was actlon--high, decisive, national action
They knew the history of the past, they
were alive to all the difficulties and all the
duties OF the present, and they acted from
the first as if the future were all open be-
fore them. Peyton Randolph was unanimous
ly chosen president; Charles Thompson was
appointed secretary. In such constella-
ton, it would be invidious to point out the
bright particular stars Let me only say, what
none can consider injustice to others, that
George Washington was one of the number.
The proceedings of the Assembly were intro
duced by religious .observances, and devout sup
plications to the Throne of Grace for the inspi-
ration of wisdom and the spirit of good coun-
sells.
On the second day of the session it was or
dered that committee should be appointed to
state the rights of the colonies the instances in
which those rights had been violated, and the
means proper to be pursued for theirrestoration;
and another committee to examine and report
upon the several statutes of the English Parlia-
ment which had been passed affecting the trade
and manufactures of the colonies. The men,
bers OF these committees were chosen on the
following day. Immediately afterward Con-
gress took up, the foundation of their pro-
ceedlngs' certain resolutions, adopted, just be-
fore the time of their assembling, by delegates
from towns in the county of Suffolk, and espe-
cially the town of Boston.

MIR. WEBSTER'S ADDRESS.
BEFORE THE N. Y. HISTORICAL SOCIETY
CONTINUED. J


(CoNTINUED.)
Our great teachers and examples in the his
toric art are, doubtless the eminent historians
of the Greek and Roman ages. In their seve-
raj ways they are the masters to whom all
succeeding times have looked for instruction
and improvement. They are the models
which have stood the test of time, and, like the
glorious creations in marble of Grecian genius,
have been always admired and never sur
passed.
We have our favorites in literature as well
as other things, and | confess that, among the
Grecian writers, my estimate of Herodotus is
great. His evident truthfulness, his singular
simplicity of style, and his constant respect and
yeneration for sacred and divine things, win
my regard. 1t is true that he sometimes APP
pears credulous, which caused Aristotle to say
OF him he was a storyteller. But, in respect to
this, two things are to be remarked-the one
| is he never AYERS as fact that which rests on
the account of others the other is that all sub
| sequent travels and discoveries have tended to
confirm his fidelity. From his great qualities as
writer, as well as from the age in which
he lived, he is justly denominated the ssFather
of History" Herodotus was a conscientious
narrator OF what he saw and heard. In his
manner there is much of. the old epic style in
| deed his work may be considered as the con-
| meeting link between the epic legend and DO
litica history; truthful, on the one hand, since
it was genuine history; but on the other, con-
ceiyed and executed in the spirit of poetry, and
not the profounder spirit of political philoso-
ply. 1t breathes Il reYerential submission TO
the Divine will, and recognizes distinctly the
governing hand of Providence in the affairs of
men. But upon the whole, | am compelled
to regard fhucydides as the greater writer
Thucydides was equally truthful, but more con.
versant with the motives and character of mer
in their political relations. He took infinite
pains to make himself thoroughly acquainted
with transactions that occurred in his own day
and which became the subject Of his own nara
tive. 1t is said even that persons We're EN-
ployed by him to obtain information from botf
