A few days since some of the meddlesome portion of the abolitionists ascertained the fact, and the notorious Hopper made application to Judge Oakley of the Superior Court, fora writ of habeas corpus, to compel Mrs. Burke to bring the slave before the Judge, to show by what right she held the woman as her lawful property. Mr. Morgan immediately undertook to perform the duty onbehalfof Mrs, Burke, and conveyed the girl to the Court yesterday morning, when after a partial hearing, the case was adjourned till Tuesday (this morning,) and Mr. Morgan requested to bring the slave accordingly. He then placed herin a cab, and while proceeding up Broad. way the vehicle was stopped by a large number of black and white negroes, and the woman forcibly taken from the possession of those in whose hands she was placed by one of our courts of justice! A more outrageous act could scarcely have been committed by this infuriated band of abolitionists, and none that would be more calculated to retard the very objects which they profess to advocate.

Numerous applications for additional i having been made, the attention of the iment has for some time been called to the subject, and it has received the most careful and deliberate consideration. ‘Tho interests of {ie gaudtry and the welfare of the servic munications from the different departments were | Guise thet the systom, which has #0 long prevailed, of ex: presented, and referred, and some routine business | tending the allowance of double rations p nay ‘one case to was transacted, but there was so much disorder and confusion inthe Hall, that hardly any one but the Speaker and the clerk had any idea what was going on. There is more need of Congressional reform than any other. The fault is not with the Speaker ; the evil liesdeeper, and is mainly beyond his con- trol. A more stern, or a tyrannical, overbeai ing manner in the presiding officer, might do something towards removing it, but the dignity and efficiency of the body can never be restored, nor can business be promptly or properly transacted, until the House comes to the deter- mination to observe the rules implicitly, and the dis- cussion of questions shall be intrusted, by common consent, to the members of committees which have considered and maturéd them, and such other mem- bers as are informed, upon the subjects before the House. A motion to suspend the rules should be a violation of order. Now there are sometimes half a dozen a day, consuming twenty minutes each, and all to no purpose. Then members speak for hours together, for Bankum, to empty seats, without once alluding to the bill supposed to be under discussion. ‘These things are getting to be insupportable, and they must soon be mended, or the representative body will fall into disgrace and contempt. The pre- sent House comprises as much talent and patriotism as many of its predeceseors ; but the evils alluded to are undeniable and obviousto all. There is a con- stant straggle going on between members having different measures in charge for priority—thus all business is impeded, and jealousy and_ irritation spring up. We can hardly hope for a change, how- ever, during the present Congress. It is, as it were, amutilated body—a defective and inaecurate re- presentation of the peaple. Since the census of 1830, the relative increase of the Western States over the other members of the confederacy, has ‘been enormous. Now, the united representation of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan is just equal to that of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, NewHamp- shire, Connecticut and Vermont. Under the new apportionment, the four named Western States will overbalance all New Uingland and New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland beside. The recent cen- sus gives a new aspect to affairs here, and when the people are all fairly represented, we may hope, per- haps, to see such reforms effected in Congress usare indispensable to the respectability of the popular branch of the National Legislature. The friends of the several Presidential aspirant: in the democratic party here, are taking ground more and more decided every day. The admira- ble discipline of that party, which has hi- therto insured harmonious action in every point, bids fair to prove inadequate for that pur- pose hereafter. Mr. Calhoun is at this moment stronger with the democracy of the country, so far as it is represented in Congress, than any other man in the nation. His commanding talents, his great personal worth, and the power with which he impresses his opinions upon all who approach him, have conspired to give him a position with the party which is contemplated with apprehension by the friends of Mr. Van Buren. It is idle to speculate upon the fature, for we can scarcely form one opi- nion asto the shape which affairs are to take hereaf- ter, but ao far as the purposes and wishes of: the democracy are reflected by its representation in Congress, Mr. Van Buren has no show, as the cant phrase is, for the Presidency. Itis. understood here that no serious purpose is entertained of entering Mr. Buchanan for the race in 184. The object is to place him prominently before the people with a view to the election in 1843. His name is hardly mentioned out of Penn- sylvania, but there the demonstration may be so decided as to exact a conditional promise of the nomination at the latest period. The future policy of President Tyler isa mattér of much solicitude to a considerable portion of the De- mocrats. They know him to be a thorough republi- can in principle and feeling~ in theory and practice: and they know, furthermore, that there is a natural proclivity in the popular mind towards the existing administration, provided there is nothing strikingly exceptionable in its doctrines and measuree—no wil- ful wrong in its appointments, and no point of re- pulsion in the advisers with which the executive is surrounded. These men apprehend that certain changes in the Cabinet, which may ultimately very naturally oceur, and without difficulty or disagree- ment of any sort, and such a liberal, state rights ad- ministration of the affairs of the government as the country has a right to expect from the hands of John Tyler, may draw off such a portion of the De- mocratic party as to ensure the defeat of their can- didate, unless they compromise with him. From the Whigs, ultra or moderate, the President has nothing to expect. To say nothing of the ques- tion of the succession, the Whigs will not unite with the executive, even in carrying out measures deep study and research has become thorou, it~ od with the subject. ‘The.

After the fourth of March next the Whigs will have no control in either branch of Congress. The Democrats and the President’s friends will make a majority of the Senate. But enough on this point for the present. another, instead of recurring to the original intent of the nw, should cease, 80 far ‘os that. intone coeeas eens tained from the nature of the provision and the terms of the law, it is the design of the Departinent strictly to ad- hereto it. ‘This is rendered the more necessary in conte- quence of the precedents having become anomalous, and apparently conflicting. The equitable principle of put- ting on the same footing all officers who may appear to render similar services, or who are equally Res acc where a rigid administration of the law may produce an inequality between them, is one that addresses itself rathar to the Legislature than to the Executive. + Upon recurring to the authority for granting addi- tional rations, it is found that there are but two laws bearing upon the subject. The act of March 16th, 1802, authorised the allowance “to the commanding officers of each » ite post,” and has never been modified, except * the ‘act of April 24th, 1816, which recognised and adopted the . regulations in force prior to the reduction of the army. various regula- tions, previous to the passage of that act, the allowance of double rations had been ex to officers in command of armies and of geographical milit districts or departments, and to engineer officers suy ending the construction or repair of fortifications. With a view to conform to the principal of the act of 1902, as thus mo- dified, and to apply it to new deseriptions of duties clearly within it, paragraphs 1251 and 1252, of article 80 of the General ite ulations of the Army, and all other regula- tions and orders upon the subject, except paragraphs 1263 and 1254 of the same article, are hereby rescinded, and the following is substituted, to take effect on the first day of June next : To the following efficers, and no others, there will be allowed double rations : i Ast.

Cuatuam Tueatre.—At an early hour yesterday morning there was a great rush for boxes to secure seats for the evening’s performance, and long before the curtain rose, every place in the house was taken. When the performance commenced, the dense mass of the audience rising tier above tier, presented a sight almost as grand as the performance. A large crowd collected outside the house and hundreds were tefused admittance. Fanny Ellsler occupied a pri- vate box, and the Metamora Engine Company No. 3, in uniform, occupied a box in the second tier, in honor of Mr. Forest. It was indeed a gala night at the Chatham. he performance was all that was expected of it, and was greeted with enthusiastic applause.
