Mr. C. has taken the house which was occupied by Mr. Coleman, and fitted up the second floor as a sa loon exclusively for gentlemen to have their hair cut in, to which there is an entrance from Broad- way. It is impossible to convey by words the most faint idea of the rich and elegant simplicity with which the saloon has been fitted up. In all the lavish expeuditure thet abounds in house decorating in this eity, rich and elegant simplicity is almost al- ways lost sight of, both in application and effect, so that although we often find much to admire, yet we seldom find one piece of ornament agree with the next browght into juxta-position with it; and the whole usually producing a tawdry effect for want of harmony. Mr. Clirehugh, a man of exquisite taste himself, took the proper method to avoid this error by entrusting the whole design and execution to Mr. William Gibson, of 548 Pearl street, who also fitted up Leary’s saloon with such skiil and fine taste. As a decorative artist, Mr.G. has done more than any man in the city to introduce a pure taste in those departments of his art that relate to the elegant comforts of life. He also fitted up Fred Boyden’s beautiful hotel in Richmond. And al- though entrusted with many similar public and pri- vate works of ornamental decoration, yet in this in- stance he has excelled all former efforts. And we recommend those citizens of taste who desire to convey to their parlors the effects so much admired inthe salons and drawing rooms of Europe, to visit this gentleman’s truly beautitul establishment. “BY THE SO = a Washington. ([Correspondenee of the Herald.) Wasuineron, Thursday—3 P. M. *roceedings in Congress—The Apportion- ment Bill—Position of the Presidential Aspirants, In the Senate this morning, Mr. Conrad presented twenty-five memorials from Louisiana, asking for a duty on sugar, and Mr. Tappan presented one in fa- vor of free trade. Several bills were introipact, and among them one by Mr. Evans to detine the fis» cal year. A resolution respecting the order of busi- ness was debated an hour and upwards, and then laid onthe table. The Dancing Rabbit Creek treaty bill then came up, and the little tariff bill is to follow The latter, by the way, is rendered unnecessary by the precaution of the President. The Secreta- ty of the Treasury, under the direction of the Executive, has issued a circular to the several Collectors of the Customs, directing them as to the mode of levying and collecting duties, in accordance with the laws of 1828 and ’32. So the negligence and factiousness of Congress will not throw open the ports for an influx of goods free of duty. The vigilance of the Executive has guard ed against the emergency which this “little bill” was professedly framed to prevent, but which has been hanging in the Senate a week, because the whigs could not agree upon the best mode of * head- ing, Capt. Tyler.” H The House have been busy with the Navy appro- priation bill, as it came from the Senate amended, all the morning. In yesterday’s letter, the history of the apportion- ment bill was brought up to the point where we were roady to depict the attitude and interest of the several parties in its operation. . Mr Clay and his frienda believe that they have nothing to fear, if the democracy run any other can- didate than Mr. Tyler or Mr. Van Buren, and hence the Clay men are industrious and anxious to secure the nomination of that party to either Mr. Calhoun or Mr. Buchanan, both of whom they know to be partially or sectionally popular, and unable to obtain the nomination without the secret aid of the whigs, and which, therefore, they are ready to accord, even at no small cost to themselves, under a conviction that it would be made up a hundred fold in the con- test. Mr. Calhoun and his friends faney that with Mr. ‘Tyler and Mr. Van Buren out of the way, heis sure of the nomination, and then certain to defeat Mr. Clay. Mr. Calhoun is one of those strange men of genius who sees a great distance, but only in one di- rection, who knows much and thinks deeply, but 1s always on one side of a question or subject, while of the other he is usually ignorant or profoundly unconscious. His mind is a wonder, and if he could do whole work as well as half work,he would be the greatest man of his age. But by that inhe- rent ieee parka wisely ordered, that he should not be too powerful—he is never consummate, however great—nor conclusive, however pro- found—nor clear, however logical. He sees eve- ry thing through a theory, and nothing beyond his theory. He belongs to that class which the French call men of one idea; and he is the great of his class. These traitsare named, because the explain his political character and history—his pub- lic life and pecan tactics—his past and present course. Thus he will adopt, and argue an absurdi- ty as ardently and ably as any axiom; and in poli- tica, the most forlorn, poetics which attracts and fixes his attention will be pursued with all his en- ergy and power, seemingly regardless of the insur- mountable obstacles to its attainment or of its utter worthlessness when won. He is brilliant and un- equalled as a brigadier, but unfit to marshal th» for- ces of the field, Hence, much as he has done, it has all been done imperfectly. His political piinciples are of the same sort—not general, universal and Catholic, but particular, sectional and peculiar. He does not see man as a man, but a man of this ceuntry, and not of this whole country either, but of his own particular region—as a master and a slave, and thisis his theory of human society. En- grossed with this conception, he knows nothing be- yond it—but in connexion with and in subordiua- tion to it, and in his philesophy, the rights of man are the rights of a master and a slave, and the whole ca of man the mere duty of a master and a slave. Brilliant and potent as have been his efforts, they have originated, operated, and ended in the one idea of bending this country and the world so as to perfect and perpetuate the peculiar institutions of the south. In this one idea he lives, moves, and hashis being. If is the sunof his system, and he worships it with more than pagan idolatry. Thus his influence at the south rests on the blind bigotry of those whom custom has rendered converts to eternal slavery, and is accordingly as strong and sub- tle as the avarice and indolence which rts its conclusions against all the convictions of the mind, the principles of the country and the spirit of the age. He relies, therefore, on the south and its sec- tional prejudices to sustain him. And hence, what- ever increases the power of the south as a sectional power, in Congress, in nominating conventions, or in the electoral college, that he fayors, and accounts as his force to contend with against any opponent or competitor, whether it shall be Mr. Tyler, who occupies a central position, or Mr. Van Buren from the North. a ., ir.

Fanny Enssier.—During the late Christmas holi- days, Fanny Elssler visited the Catholic Half Orphan Asylum of this city, and, touched by the dependent, helpless condition of the children, made them, with hereha y. a munificent donation, simply ri ng, with her graceful kindness, that it was a festival without, aud that she hoped to make these little hearts glad too for one day. Before leav- ing the Asylum, she intimated to the ladies who have charge ofthe institution, thatshe would be pleased to aid them in their labor, and that, on her return from the South, her best exertions should be placed at their disposal in any manner which would best con- duce to the object she had in view. Since her re- turn, she has evinced the sincerity of her intention by announcing to them her desire to comply with her proposition. It is in justice to her, andat the request of the managers of the Asylum, that this statement is made ; and, with gratitude, they inform the public that, on Monday next, the performance at the Park Theatre will be solely for the benefit of the orphans, on which occasion she will appear in a favorite ballet and dance. We make this commu- nicetion with great pleasure, and with the sincere hope that the pablic willfully second her praiseworthy and charitable intentions. Tue Park Last Eventnc.—We much regret the accidental omission, yesterday, of Monsieur Martin’s benefit last evening, for we fear that it tended to diminish the reward of a highly meriterious artist. With but one exception, and even that a doubtful one, Monsieur Martin is the best male dancer that r appeared in this country. Even beside Fanny Elssler, his performances suffered but slight dispar- agement. The house was not gver*crowded, but the audience was highly respectable, and the ap- plause awarded him sincere and cordial. Fanny appeared again in the Fairy Prince, aud was received and gratified as usual; and afterwards in the second act of “La Bayadere.” She dances no more in this city, except for charitable objects. She appears on Monday for the benefit of the Or- phan Society, under the patronage of Mesdames Fowler, Livingston, and other distinguished chari- table ladies. This occasion will be one of surpass- ing interest and splendor, more especially as the theatre will be filled with “bevies of fair damaa,” the beautiful maids and matrons of our city, fea the highest ranks of fashionable life. The ininrie- ble Fanny will doubtless be impelled by the loftiest impulses of her generous nature, to surpass even herself on this distinctly benevolent occasion, and the pieces selected will be of the most classical and exquisite order. ‘Ti: Croron Aquepucr.—The Board ot Water Commissioners have submitted the following Report with regard to the Croton Aqueduct :— Tuvnspay, June 23, 1812.

Spohn’s Remedy for Sick Headache seems to have overcome those difficulties. Whilst its effects are most powerful and immediate in curing an attack or keep- ing it off, it isso perfectly mild and innocent as to be used with the greatest effect and safety. This has now been tested by so many of the highest members cf the commu- nity, as to require no further proof. ‘he Headache Remedy can be had in Huntsville, Ala., of Geo. W.

In the latter part of 1836, Just before a general explosion, they had approached a Greater degree of uniformity than for many years under a national bank. These rates were those of banks at every section where the national bank had branches, and whose sssues were governed by the great regulator placed at thecentre. The effect which those regulations had upon occurred onthe 21st instant, and which, contrary to ali | exchanges in New York isseen in the following table of former precedent in the theory of such phenomena, was caused by external means, instead of the awful workings of fgg explosion ! passed, and reason was in some measure restored, the first enquiry wasas to the cause of this extraordinary catas- tropite. That some planet had darted from its sphere, or that » wisk from a comet's tail had come in contact with our earth, was the fearful omen ; but on sweeping the ex, ie of the sky, and all the visible planets still holding in their proper order, and then the fact having been ascertained that the shock had not extended beyond the island of Manhattan, why then some other cause was to be sought for, Wonder of wonders! Will it be believed that this tremendous sensation was at length traced to modern al- chemy? The monstrous improvements of physical or medical science, the concentrated labor of ages, with all their results, so dearly prized by their possessors, all, all have been blown to the winds by one puff from the pon- derous engine of mighty pretensions, yclept the chariot of alchemy, and high-pressure sieam battery of health, hav- ing on the day above named surcharged her boiler ‘to the extent that the safety-valve wasopened, the whole island was thrown into commotion by the the highest and lowest rates of exchange in each year from 1827 to "31, being the periods when the bank was the first moments of surprise and wonder had | in the most successful operation.

A new description of paper has made its appearance atthe west. The rotten banks have broken down, and as if determined that the people should not escape the inflic- sion of paper money, the Wisconsin Marine and Fire In- surance Company has undertaken to issue a paper cur- rency. These are redeemed in Wall street at 6 per cent liscount. The advocates of plundering the unindebted states for ‘he benefit of speculators, under the name of assumption, have the knavery or the ignorance to quote the assump tion of the old revolutionary war debt aa a precedent What analogy is there betweenfiebts contracted for the | service of political partizans in isolated states, and those contracted for the emancipation of all the states in com- mon froma foreign yoke. In the former case no possible benefit is derived to any state excopt the one which contracted the debt, and she contracted it out of a spirit of rivalry to those other states which it is now proposed to tax for the discharge of the debt. In the latter case the debt was contracted, and tae money spent for the common good of all. Every section of the Union derived the same benefit from the debt as the State which contracted it; consequently it was but common justice that all should pay. The debt as- sumed was $18,328,186, and the outstanding credits re. maining were $4,427,665. This transaction is brought forward to give character to the infamous proposition of | charging the debis of a few upon the property of the whole. Why not makea complete operation of it? Let each town and city assume the debts ef its citizens, Then each State assume the debts of all its towns and cities. Then the Federal Government would havea respectable amount to settle. A movement is making among the suffering stockholders of the Ocean Insurance Company to endeavor to obtain redress from the faithless officers. Many of them very properly object to a public meeting, because they are ge- nera‘ly controlled by the very persons whose conduct is sought to be investigated, and always end in a white- washing report, which eventually deprives the stockhol- or of the redress he seeks. It is necessary, therefore, that some means should be taken to make stockholders per- sonally known to each other; that they may communi- cate freely, and adopt such active measures as may be deemed necessary. For this purpose it has been sug- gested that the names of such independent stockholders as asare determined not to be robbed with impunity, should be handed into this office. ‘Phere is but lit}le movement in domestic exchanges, and the rates have not materially altered, They are as follows:— Cunnyxs Rate or Bane Notes axp Domusrtc Blut.
