Announcement of Mr.. Aherton's Death-The Assistant
Secretary of the Treasuryship-NO business in Con
gress-N National Democracy in Philadelphia General
Foote-Negotiaton with Mexico and England General
Cass Expected Speech, &c.
The announcement of the death of Mr. Ather-
ton during the recess led to number Of eloquent
obituary notices in both Houses, after which they
adjourned The rule Of the Senate introduced by
Henry Clay, was set aside by unanimous consent.
1t is believed that the Senate resolution on the
Office of Assistant Secretary of the Treasury will
not come up this week. This will give the friends
of the Treasury an opportunity TO exercise all their
power against it. 1t is and will remain, however,
a purely constitutional question, with which the
personal friendship or anmosty of members have
no more to do than the man in the moon.
There viii be nothing done now before the holt
DAYS and very little afterwards till after the Sh of
January. By that time may have on the
ground and it is to be hoped that the administra-
ton, the Senate and the House God bless them
alb will have an opportunity of cooling down for
business.
The great demonstration Of the National Democ-
racy which was to have come off on Saturday last
in Philadelphia, Pa, has been postponed to the Both
inst. a number Of distinguished gentlemen in
Congress preparing to be present on the Occas-
ion. The whole State of Pennsylvania will be rep
resented.

Screw-steam Navy-The North American Squadron, &c
A committee of nearly a hundred New York
hdyds arrived here on Saturday, and have taken
possession of the public hotels and the capitol and
nav after a while conquer the White House
Their immediate object is, is said to prevent the
confirmation of Hiram j. Redfeld aud of Mr. Bel

smaller game The SOftS are also here in considera-
bic force, and the two factions will give life to the
CITY, and relieve the duness of the ordinary routine
of session. The hards still profess much conf
dence in the President and will give him a cordial
support
The committee on finance of tie House will vim
dictate its credit for activity at this session. They
have already reported the civil and diplomatic bill
the deficiency bill and the invalid pension bill.
The committee on naval affairs of the House will
probably report the six steamship bill tomorrow
The bill was considered and discussed in the COM
mttee, and the project is probably the result of a
compromise of conflicting views. The question:
was whether the ships should be built by contract
and by men who have put our mercantile marine
in advance of that Of all other nations or whether
we should adhere to the old plan of building the
ships at the navy yards. The result of the latter
mode will be great expense, and another series o.
naval abortions The committee settled the mat
ter by leaving the mode of construction to the dis
cretion of the Secretary of the Navy. The House
viii probably amend the bill by substitution to con

Navy" as it is called, in the English journals is
about to be furnished with machinery upon con

AFEAIRS IN WASHINGTON.

The Government is anxious about Sonora affairs.
It telesraphed to New York Monday, to order
naval officer to proceed to Panama to charter a
steamer and procure crew, for the purpose @! sail
ing for the Gulf of California in search of the
schooner having on board the illbusters; then cap
ture the men and carry them to California for trial.
1t is feared that Santa Anna may capture and sum-
marily execute them which would infiame and
make ilibusters of California and possibly produce
another Mexican war. The Government, though
foiled in stopping the steamer will find some way
TO prevent Santa Anna from shedding American
blood
Secretary Guthrie is much bruised and quite lame,
but is attending to business.
Senator Gwiun is out IN the National Latelligen-
Ger with four columns on'the best route for the Pa
cifc Railroad, in answer to Col Bentons letter of
the 18th inst The Senator's article is an able,
practical and fearlessly eKcorating review upon
"Old Bullion" This controversy is destined to
prove tart and recherche
1t is generally believed that there is good ground
for the rumor of another expedition from New Or
leans against Cuba The articles in the Union
were preparatory to it. 1t was supposed by the
"Order of the Lone Star" that General Pierce would
wink at it. 1t is evident also that the people OF
this country have begun to apprebend difficulties
and dangers in connection with the acquisition OF
Cuba which will render the measure less acceptable
than it has been heretofore considered.
Dispatches received from Mexico, Monday, ind-
cate that no trouble is likely to grow out of the
Sonora Fillibuster Expedition. Santa Anna isper-
fecty satisfied of our good charlottesville Courier.

t3y" a cbi6oriere recently died at the Hospice de
la Pitro whom they called the Countess. This wo-
man, notwithstanding the whitening effects Of suf-
fering and debauch, still possessed ofsome poor
remains of beauty. In 1884, nearly twenty years
ago, she was one of the most followed and admired
Tonnes of Paris. After having ruined several lovers,
she finally induced a young man of good family,
who was desperately enamOred tomarry her. Two
years after his marriage this young fool to provide
for the exaggerated expenses of his wife, blew out
his brains at the police Office, failing in an at
tempt TO rob the bankof France. 1t is said that
the Countess in the days of her prosperity, had
chemises Of linen cambria so fine that they could
be drawn through finger ring; and that after her
elegant suppers she would have champagne brought
in vessel of chased gold, to wash her feet in
Such are the Injuries in which depraved women in
Paris often indulge and such is generally their mel
ancholy end. Many chi60rieres have in their youth
shone in their equipages and diamonds; but orgies
and debauch have soon caused them TO decline, and
step by step, they have finally attained the lowest
depth of misery.

We have inadvertently failed to notice the change
in the editorial and publishing department of this
able temperance organ. DR.. LANGDoN, who con-
Quoted it with much ability during the past year,
has disposed OF his interest in the same to our
young ieIow-townsman, W. G. BRIEN, Esq, who
will in future preside over its editorial columns.
Mr.. BeIEv is a young gentleman of talents, and
has been closely identified with the temperance re-

Mrs PARTNGToN ON MUsIC.-"Old Bulls con-
cert" said Mrs Darlington in the Boston Post,
glancing up from her knitting as she read the an
nouncement Of the grand concert on Saturday
evening, and she smiled as the ridiculous fancy ran
through ner mind, like the grass-hopper in a stubble
field of an old bull giving concert. "And yet it
isn't so very wonderful continued She 'for re
member cat and canary that lived together and
one or tother of EN- used to sing beautifully. But
wonder what he plays on" Ike suggested that
he played on one of his own horns, which seemed
to be reasonable. Il am glad he is going to give
his concert because when went down to hear a
great artizan play on violence as they called it,
though found out afterwards it was nothing but
a fiddle, they were going to charge dollar till l
told EN- | was one of the connections of the Post,
and they let me in. | can't think what music an
old bull can make, I'm sure. 1t must be very up
roarous should think, and better fitted for over
turns than for pastureal music" She closed her
critique with pinch of snuff, and got on to her
wires again like telegraphic despatch, and went
ahead while Ike amused himself by scratching his
name wthga hard nail in magnificent Roman cap
itals upon the newly painted PANEL Of the kitchen
door.

INTERESTING TO LADIEs-Extravagance we say,
has struck IN. 1t appears that some one has re-
turned from Europe with the information that ladies
of high rank there frequently spend more money
upon that part of their wardrobe which is unseen,
than upon that which is seen. Hence, the ruling
ambition of the season, among the newly enriched,
is to possess the costest article of invisible attire;
to exhibit at home, to particular friends, and at
street crossings and puddIes (real or imaginary
to the public at large skirts of most elaborate con
structon; to wear yards and yards of lace, embroi-
derry and stitching where the human eye cannot
penetrate; to carry about all day small fortune
concealed among the strata of their apparel and at
night to sink into a mound of down, enveloped in
robes which cost more money than the poor girl,
who ruined her eyes by making them, can save in
many years Not to put too fine point toit, wemay
as well mention that for the robes just referred to,
thirty forty fortyve and fifty dollars are no very
uncommon price.-N Y. Mirror.

BELL RUNG BY THE SEA-In the Southampton
dock there are three patent bell buoys, which the
Mexican Government have ordered for part OF
the coast in the Gulf Of Mexico. They are enor-
nous buoys with large bells and their use is in thick
and foggy weather when the buoys cannot be seen.
The surgng of the waves causes the bells to ring,
which gives information of the locality ofthe buoys.
The apparatus is such also as to answer the pur-
pose of life buoys where several persons can be
sheltered until they are rescued Their use in en-
aiding ships TO enter channels in fogs is invaluable.
The under part ofthe bell buoy is boat shaped; and
is admirably formed to roll about in the water to
ring the bell that is attached to it. From the up
per surface of the buoy circular and tapering
palisadg raised several feet in height inside Of
which towards the top the bell is hung so as to
ring at the slightest movement
