Wasuineton, Friday, 3 P. M. Proceedings in Both Houses, and other Matters, The morning business in the Senate was of no public interest whatever, with the exception of the navy appropriation bill, which was reported from ihe Finance Committee with amendments. This, and several small matters over, the apportionment bill was takeu up, and is now under discussion. The final action of the body on this bill, will proba- bly take place in season to forward for your ** post- script” head. The better opinion seems to be that -he Senate will not adopt the stringent measures of the House towards the army and navy. For the credit of the country, it is to be hoped that this opinicn is well founded. The motives operating upona majority of the House are threefold—first a desire to din ish the patronage and power of the Executive—se cond, a sort of demagogue anxiety to appear before the people as champions of economy—and finally, an honest wish to curtail the expenses of the govern- ment, so as to avoid the necessity of the imposition of heavy dunes on imports. The latter motive is ho- nest and honorable, but it is confined toa very few, and will be made to yield, in most instances, to considerations of a party nature. All these men are unquestionably running counter to the sentiments of the people, but they will mot make the discovery untilit is too late. The next Congress will consist almost entirely of new men, coming tresh from the masses, representing the popular will, uncon- trolled by party discipline, and measurably free from the influence of party associations. “They may be expected to come to the support of the existing establishments of the government, and to the elements that give penne ctability and ferma- nence to that government. Between the people and the present Congress there is a broad and deep gulf. For this Congress there is nenaateree ty norconfi- dence in the public mind. ‘The popular sentiment is not represented, nor the popular wish regarded. The discrepancy between the action of Congress and the expectation of the people in regard to the Iexchequer, may be adduced in illustration of this remark. On this subject, the manifestation of the popular wish has been most decided, and in the northern and middle States, almost universal. The settlement of the currency question has been de- manded in tones too positive to be mistaken. But there will be no action on this matter. The whole thing is to bedeft open, under the apprehension that the present administration might gain something by its settlement, and in the hope that it may be made a hobby for some future presidential aspirant to ride. But the whigs, are a class of men_to whom experience teaches no lesson. Like the Bourbons, they learn nothing, and they forget nothing. Mr. Pendleton, trom the Committee on Military Affairs, reported a bill in the house this morning to establish two military posts—one at the. mouth of Columbia river, and the other at some suitable point in the vicinity. The forts to be garrisoned by fifteen hundred men. The bill provides also, that a portion of the navy shall be stationed at that point, to give such protection to the settlers in Oregon as may be necessary. Such a law ought to be enacted, but the chance for its passage issmall, while a spirit prevails in the House which would destroy all the establish- ments of the government. Siome little routine busi- ness was transacted, and the House then went into the consideration of private bills, upon which the day is to be spent. Among the distinguished strangers now at the seat of government, are Goy. Edwards of Connec- tient, St. James, and Mr. Rush, Secretary of the Treasu- ty under Mr. Adams. Mr. Rush breakfasted with Mr. Stevenson this morning, at Brown’s. This lat- ter gentleman is devoted to Mr. Van Buren, and his presence here is to be referred to some movements in contemplation upon the political chess board. ‘The late democratic convention in North Carolina made no decided demonstration, but it is well ui derstood that the the friends of Mr. Calhoun consti- tuted a large majority in the assemblage.

Private letters received in this city, this mornings ty the steamer Telegraph, Capt. Howes, from Port- land, bring the gratifying intelligence of the passage of Mr. Kavanagh’s Boundary Resolutions in the Maine House of Representatives, with some unim- portant amendments, bya vote of 177to 11. The Commissioners are to be four in number, and two are to be takea from each political party. In con- vention, the parties have nominated their men. The whigs have selected ex-Governor Kent, and John Otis, Esq., of Hallowell, and the democrats Tlon. Edward Kavanagh, of Newcastle, and Hon. Wm. Pitt Preble, of Portland. Mr. Preble, it will be recollected, was formerly Minister to the Nether- lands. The above gentlemen were elected by the House and Senate yesterday. Thus, there is now a fair prospect of the settlement of the long contested question of Boundary. Dr. Collyer lectured at the Temple, last evening, and his experiments were so eminently successful as to convince many who have hitherto been sceptical, of the truth of the wonderful science upon which he treats. He threw a young lady, by the power of his will into the Mesmeric state, and while she re- mained in that state, performed a dental operation by extracting one of her teeth. The young lady was unconscious, perfectly so, during the operation, and when willed by the Doctor back to herself again was not aware of what had passed, until she placed her finger inthe vacuum created by the extraction of the tooth. She declared she was not only un- conscious of painwhile undergoing the operation, but that, after having come to_ herself again, she fect no unpleasant sensation. Verily, Mesmerism isa wonderfal science, Hon. Tom Marshall isnot here—but he is still ex- pected to arrive soon. Thousands flocked to the Odeon, last evening, to hear him speak, but no Mar- shall was there. Rev. Dr. Pierce and several others entertained the vast multitude by well timed and sen- sible remarks. Rev. Dr. Patton and Sandy Welch, of your city, were among the number. In connec- tion with this, 1 will observe, that the Directors of the United States Hotel, the largest establishment in this city, held a meeting, yesterday, and voted to prohibit the sale of ardent spirits in that house.— ‘This is the best move made yet, and it is the more grateful, because it comes unexpectedly. ome changes have occurred in the rates of ex- changes.

Stevenson, late Minister to the Court of SOUTHERN MAIL. New ‘Orica fix (Correspondence of the Herald.) J. G, Bexnerr, Esq.— R—Our newspapers have, of course, already in- formed you of the resumption of specie paymentsby our ten remaining banks—the four “ weak” sisters have gone to the devil, and their mortal remains ha- ving been quietly consigned to mother Earth several soons ago. The effect of the resumption it is even yet impossible to foretell, although I believe I can venture to say that there is a sincere disposition on the part of the people to sustain the banks, and to give them every chance for their lives; so that if there be any health they will live and thrive, and every thing will go well. The great curse of this city is the deep-seated jealousy, frequently amount- ing to ferocity, which displays itself on every occa- sion, social, financial or political, between the des- cendants of the Gaul and their Anglo Saxon innova- tors. Canal street which divides the upper and lower municipalities, is a perfect barrier to all sym- pathy and good feeling, and separates the second er American municipality from the Creoles of the first and third as effectually as the straits of Dover divide England and France. The ridiculous and absurd Bank bill passed at the last session of the Legisla- ture was supposed to have originated amongst the “down town” financiers, and to have been passed into a law for the special benefit of some half dozen public functionaries, who were largely indebted to the “down town” banks, (The State, Citizens, and Consolidated,) and were extremely anxious to place their “ liabilities” on the “dead weight” list. The resumption is the bfteerang of 8. J. Peters, Esq. thé ta- lented and clear headed President cf the City Bank, and the leading financier of the second municipality. It took the Frenchmen completely by surprise ; and fora time they were utterly dismayed. The de- mocratic Courier, which has for years been preach- ing up the blessings of a sound currency and the evils of suspension, suddenly bolted off on a new track, and commenced edifying the town with a series of learned essays on the evils of resumption! The veason of this you will understand, whrn I tell you that the down town banks on Monday mornin; » (or such of them as had ugreed to resum*, got. fight. ened at the prospect, or else fell in love with the jingle of the “better currency” as it was shovelled up from itslong sleep in their vaults and actually backed out! Hine ille lachkryme! But lam seriously re- joiced to be able to add that the wiley Frenchmen, seeing how kindly their rascally uptown neighbors bore the resumption, plucked upa_ spirit, and came boldly into the measure yesterday—so that New Orleans bank paper and coin are [is] now one and the same thing, !xchange on your city can be had in plenty for 14 a 14; and the only serious evil at present, is the depreciation of our municipality shin plasters and dimes, which have heretofore constitu- ted our small circulation. This is an unavoidable consequence, however, of a return to a healthy state of things, and will shortly rugulate itself. Our literary depot is again flourishing in all its glory and usefulness ; and what with your sparkling and interesting Herald—which is snatched at as if it were gold—and the beautiful magazines from your city, and her “ fair sister” on the Delaware, we lope to spend the summer very agreeably. Messrs. Kel- logg and Morgan, the new proprietors of the depot, are gentlemen well known and highly respecte: here ; and, (although I presume they don’t ask it,) you can trust them with perfect safety. Abequatulation is, as usual, very prevalent “about these days”’—although the can’t-go-aways are mon- strous numerous. The spring has been’ charming, and no apprehensions of the epidemic are enter- tained, Isee a foolish report in some of the northern pa- pers that Fanny Elssler has been here, and that the “ Hungarian Brothers” were murdered in Cuba. All flam. ‘La Deesse” has not favored us with the flutter of her ambrosial petticoats, and the “ eee rian Brothers”? were squalling and growling at tl American, a few evenings ago. h The town were delighted this morning by the news of the arrival of Kendall from Mexico. He came inthe U. 8. Cutter Woodbury, and was ac- companied by all the other American lense and Mr. ex-minister Ellis. I see that all chance of a disturbance with Santa Ana is over for the present. Yours respectfully, Puck. BY THE Washington, [Correspondence of the Herald.) Wasninctox, Fray Evenrxe. Senate’s Ratio—Portrait of Mr, Clay—Le. vy’s Case—Rhode Island, The Senate sat until a late hour this afternoon, and finally agreed upon the number of 71,276, as the ratio of representation. This gives a house of 214 members, round numbers, and with the fractions, an addition of 7 or 8. It is doubtful whether the House will concur in thisamendment. InJeed, the matter would seem, from the nature of things, to be hardly susceptible of adjustment, except by means of con- sultation and compromise of the large States on the part of the House, and the sinall States in the Sen- ate. The subject, in all its branches, has been ex- hausted, so far as talking goes, and the remainder of the business, itis to be hoped, will be done in yot- ing. The weather is becoming oppressively warm, and asthe usual period for the termination of a long session approaches, the House is getting impatient of long speeches; and, with the exception of the tariff, upon which tkere must be an outpouring of patriotism and statistical knowledge, the remaining business will probably be despatched with sufficient rapidity. Robinson, the caricaturist, has just brought out an admirable portrdit of Mr. Clay. It isa fac simile of the great Whig idol. The features and the expres- sion are perfect—nothing before attempted is to be compared with it. His political triends, and they are numerous, notwithstanding his course has driven the party into a helpless and hopeless minority—and his personal admirers, and they embrace a greater number still, notwithstanding that he is a social des- pot of the most intolerant kind—all will buy the portrait, and well they may, for they never can an- other as good. The enthusiasm among the supporters of Mr. Clay is unaccountable. He has always been bold and dashing, both asa statesman and in private life, but his manner is imperious and overbearing, and no man is so exacting of. his friends. He btooks no equal—listens to no counsel, and will always rule or ruin—or rather rule and ruin. a ¢ sentence of the Court Martial in the case of Commander Levy, is supposed to be under conside- ration by the President. The character of the sen- tence has not transpired—but from the circum- stances of the case, it is believed to be the same as tne former. The court have undoubtedly sen- tenced him to be cashiered, and the action of i Executive isa matter of much solicitude to the offi- cers of the navy. It is obvious from the tenor of the President’s letter, that he considered the first sen- tence as di! rtionate to the offence proven to have been committed by Mr. Levy, and unjust in itself, and however much he may regret to reverse or modify the sentence of a court composed of officers so respectable, it can hardly be expected that he will now give up the deliberate convictions of his mind, and permit what he believes to be in- justice to be done in the premises. Commander vevy is one of the most unpopular officers in the service, but he was tried on specific charges, and the Court had nothing to do with his general character. However much his previous conduct might have prejudiced him with the Coart, or with the Presi- dent, the latter was called upon to decide upon the propriety and justice of the sentence rahe view of the charges preferred against him at this time. Possibly the President may review his opinion, and upon further reflection approve the sentence—no- thing is known to the contrary, but looking at all the circumstances, such a supposition jis scarcely to be entertained. * * It seems that the Rhode Island difficulties are not yetatanend. A messenger arrived from Governor ing to-day, bringing the intelligence that the late insurgents are raising money and organizing men for another emeute, which Is expected to come ot early in June.
