The New Orleans P.cayune of the 18th

now one of the most fashionable OF resorts.
Hundreds of visiters are daily going and
returning, and the neighborhood is throng-
ed with the curious, gazing upon the wild
rush of waters, the workmen struggling
against their sweeping tide, and the expand
ed lake where lately were cultivated fields
There is no abatement in the current which
sets back from the river, but the contractors
at work attem pting to close the crevasse have
made good progress. a steam'pling ma
chine was got in order yesterday, in the
morning, and the work of driving piles con
menced. Before night, rows had been driven
almost entirely across the chasm. \ large
number of hands were employed preparing
sand bags and bringing them to the spot
where they are to be used. The mode by
which the crevasse is proposed to be stopped.
is to drive three rows of piles, &c that when
the third is com pleted q sufficient space will
not remain between the piles to permit a

Conviction ora murdsress.

AT the Circuit Court of Sussex county, Va,
on Saturday last, Mrs. Josiah FREEMAN,
charged with the murder Of her husband,
was tried, convicted and sentenced to Ave
years imprisonment in the State peniten-
tiary. The occurrence took place on the
morning of the 18th Of December last The
deceased had previously threatened to kill bis
wife who, taking him at his word, resolved
so etfectually to anticipate him, as to prevent
the possibility OF his carrying out the threat.
She therefore arose while he wac yet asleep,
and procuring gun discharged it at bis head.
The shot, however, merely grazed his fore
head.
He Immediately jumped up and expressed
bis surprise at her conduct, when she struck
him on the head with the barrel OF the gun,
knocking him senseless. While in this in-
sensible condition, she rushed upon him with
kuite and CUT his throat. Sull fearing, as
she SAID, that "tbe wind might again blow
breath 10 his body" she took an axe an l
butchered bis body 10 o shocking manner.

The Business OF congress.

1t appears that there are FIVE hundred bills
Enacted upon before Congress, and about u
thousand bills and petitions before the stand
ipp committees Now, as the two houses
have agreed to adj ourn the present session ON
the seventh of June, and es the annual apprc-
priation bills, involving many extra items,
have still to be considered and disposed OF, 1t
is very evident that an immeose batch OF un'
finished business will 90 over to the next
session. This batch, we conjecture, Will H.
clude the following subject-:-
|. The subject of a general Bankrupt law.
2. The revision of the tariff.
3. The admission of Oregon as State.
i. Various new Territorial bills.
5. The Pacific Railroad.
i. The Ocean Steam Mail bill.
I. All the patent monopoly projects, per-
hsps, and various other schemes.
In fact, from the amount of valuable time
wasted upon the Kansas squabble, 1t ls quits
possible that, 10 secure the passage OF the
regular appropriations, it will be found ne
cessary to lengtbeD the session week, or
several weeks, beyond the seventh Of June.
This probability is strengthened from the
straitened condition of the treasury, aud the
urgent requirements of MIR. Cobb for more
treasury notes. We understand that be has
no idea of loan, when promises to pay will
answer Just as we'll. But as a new issue
will REQUIRE a new bill, aud as new bill
will Reopen tue discussion Of the whole sub
iect, we appreheud that, il Mr.. Cobb must
have the new issue right away, the session
must be extended beyond the present linn
itation --New York Hcrdid.

precedent, and can have but single object.
Of course the members Of the Cabinet en-
deavored as far as possible to disguise their
belieft that the Emperor has sny i'll designs,

place reliance on his good faith, we had no

be on our guard; they all admitted that the
