CoYGREss.--ln Senate the usual resolutions
making arrangements for the official count OF
the residential votes were adopted, after which
the bill granting right of way through the MIL
tary reservation near Niagara for ship ca
ral, was considered and passed. The Ware
house bill came up again. rhe principal point
discussed in this bill is the provision extending
the time Of paying duties from one TO three
years, and Messrs. Hunter, Seward and other
leading Senators argued strongly for retaining
it. Mr.. Davis, however, took the other side,
and moved an amendment limiting the time Tor
Withdrawing goods for consumption to one year.
This was agreed TO Other amendments i'm
poItant and unimportant were proposed some
were adopted, some not and the bill finally
passed A communication from the President,
in relation to the Postal treaty with Great
Britain was received, containing a note from
tie Postmaster-G General, in which he gives il as
lis opinion that Great Britain has violated that
instrument Adjourned.
la the House the usual plan OF counting the
Electoral vote was adopted, a poineof order
irsselation TO the old Wisconsin Railroad grant
bill, was raised by which il was at length re-
susciated and sent TO the Speakers desk. This
required so much management, that what with
motions 10 adjourn, and to take up this, that

ErEoPE.-By the arrival Of the Canada at
Halifax. yesterday morning, We have dates from
Europe to Sunday, the 23d ult. The English
news is oflittle importance. There is evident
" some fear that Louis Napoleon is secretly
meditating hostile designs against his neighbors
across the Channel. This is shown by the ac-
tivity which prevails in all the military and
naval stations. The ease of DR.. Achilli is
G2an before the Court.
The great topic in the French news is the
marriage Of Louis Napoleon, which seems TO
have taken everybody completely by surprise.
The new Empress is the daughter of Span
lard and an Iriswoman, and the granddaughter
Of the British Consul al Malaga. The rest of
the general news furnishes LITTLE matter worthy
Of special notice
Large sales Of Cotton have been made a.
sad advance; Breadstufis are declining.

wonderful developments made by that
instrument. specimen Of which he car
ried about him.
While the old man was making a fru-
gal meal in the field at noon. the youth
produced his microscope and explained
its operation, which be illustrated by ok
hibiting its power, upon several bugs
and divers minute atoms Of inanimate
matter at hand.
To his surprise his aged pupil did not
manifest much astonishment and stung
by his Indifference. he detailed to him
how many scores Of living creatures he
dcvoured at every mouthful and in each
drop which quenchcd his thirst. AT
this his hcarer was sceptical to prove

THE MEGATuERduM.-This levia-
than of the vast plains of South Amer
lea, which were once occupied by i'm
mense numbers of the race, now en-
tirely extinct, partakes Of the generic
character Of the existing diuutive
sloths. 1t rivalled in size the largest
rhinoceros, was armed with claws of
enormous length and power, its whole
frame possessing an extreme degree Of
solidity. With head and neck like
those of the sloth, its legs and feet ex-
hibit tho character of the armadillo
and the ant-cater. Some specimens
of the animal give the measurement of
five feet across the launches, and the
thigh bone was nearly three times as
thick as that of the elephant. The
spinal marrow must have been a foot
in diameter, and the tail, at the part
nearest the body twice as large, or six
feet in circumference. The girth Of
the body was fourteen feet and half,
anil the length eighteen feet.
The teeth were admirably adapted
for cutting vegetable substances, and
the general structure and strength Of
the frame for tearing up the ground in
search of roots, wrenching off tho
branches of trees and uprooting their
trunks, on which it principally fed
"IIeavily constructed and ponderously
accoutrcd," says DR.. Buckland, in his
eloquent description of the megatheri-
um,'' it could neither run, nor leap,
nor climb, nor burrow under ground ;
and all its movements must have been
necessarily slow. But what need OF
rapid iocomotion to an animal whose
occupation of digging roots for food
was almost stationary? And what
need Of speed Tor fight from foes, to q
creature whose giant carcase was en-
cased in an impenetrablc cuirass, and
who, by a single pat Of his paw, ol
lash of his tail, could in an instant lave
demolished tho cougar or the crocke'
die Secure within the pauoply o
his strong armor, where was the enc
my that would dare encounter this le'
yiathan of the pampas? or in wha
more powerful creature can we find tn,
cause that has effected the. extirpatiol
of his race? His entire frame was al
apparatus Of colossal mechanism, a
dapted exactly to the work it had t
do. Strong and ponderous in propol
ton as this work was heavy and oaleu
lated to be the vehicle Of life and en-
ioyment to gigantic race Of quadru
peds, which, though they have cease
to be counted among the living inhat
itanis Of our planet, have, in their 70.
sil bones left behind them imperishi
lie monuments Of the consummatc ski
= with which they were constructed. -

The Valley of the Amizon.

In recent pamphlet Lieut. Maury
has called attention to this interesting
region. The Valley of the Amzons is
the largest in the world 1t embraces
an arena of two millions and forty.eight
thousand square miles. which is more
than twice the extent of the Valley OF
the Mississippi. Its fertility is unpar-
alleled ( The country which is drain.
ed by the Amazon" says Lieut. Maury,
& if reclaimed from the savage, the wild
beast and the reptile. and reduced to
cultivation now, would be capable of sup
porting with its produce the population
of the whole world" 1t is rice country,
and yields two harvcsts of that valuable
grain in ten months 'Corn too may be
planted atany time and in three months is
fit for gathering Thus the husbandman
there may gather four crops of corn a
year. Its seasons are an everlasting
summer, with perpetual round of har.
vests" 1t is peculiarly rich in those
productions of the earth which enter in.
to commerce Besides its mines If gold
silver, and diamonds its forests abound
in the most beautiful woods and most
precious herbs, dye stufs, gems, and
medicines Sugar, coffee, cotton, tobac.
co, indigo, cocoa, are produced with lit
tie labor, 1t is land of oranges.
lemons, pine apples, citrons figs, toma-
rinds, bannas. and pomegranates. In
those great solitudes, replctc with rich
es, millions Of the human race might
dwell in plenty and happiness, where ma.
ture annually wastes more than would
support the population of China in com.
fort and where the most luscious fruits
and faircst flowers grow and bloom un-
unknown and unnoticcd There
is no intcrtropical country in the
world that is so finely watered as is this
great Amazon country of South Amcri-
ca. The summer is not one drought.
and the winter one shower. as in some
tropical countries; but the rains fall and
the sun shines, just as often and as long
rs they are needed In word. the Val.
ley of the Amizon, as place of residence
for man, as field of enterprise for
merchants, is not oqual.ed by any other
region on the globe. Turnpikcs, rail
ways, steamboats, ploughs, rifles and the
other evidences of American civilization
and enterprise are yet curiosities to this
great and fertile Valley.
