There are other argu- ments in favor of the narrow gauge; one of which is the economy of locomotive expenses of the narrow compared with the wide- gauge. pears thaton the Great Western Railway, the locomo- tive charges during a period of three years, have varied between 88 and 11-1, averaging 9-7 per cent on their income; and on the London and Birmingham, they have varied, within the same period, between 7-9 and 10-36, aversging ¢6 per cent on their income. It is admitted that the power of many of the narrow gauge engines used in Great Britain, is as great as can with safety be used; while those of the wide tered since the commencement; but it is a question whether the permanent wey of any of the wide gauge lines, could be made sufficiently strong to sustain any increase in the power of wide gauge engines. opinion of the most competent engineers, that it is the stability of the road, and not the power of the'engines, that will prescribe the limits of sa‘e speed.

His late mes- sage to Congress is a sort of Chinese puzzle to eve- tybody here, of every party; and to none more 60 than hisown. {t would require the abilities of all the chemists in the country to ascertain, by analyza- | tion, whether it contains a grain of gunpowder or | not. The Chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs, Mr. Benton, is in a fog, and scarcely knows how to find his way out of 1t. Mr. Mangum, on the other side of the Senate, says it 1s the denudest mes- sage hehas ever heard. Neither party knows what it means, or if it means anything at ali; #0 that you will perceive the difficulty in which the members of ed reserve of President Polk. Mr. Webster, aday or two ago, asked the aiee| man on Military Affairs what the instructions were which they had received from the Secretary of | War, iit relation to the condition of our magazines, and the number of men to be raised in view of an approaching contest with England. Mr. Benton declined answering a part of the interrogatory, as not bella Be roper to place before the public. In the Houee of Representatives to-day, Garrett Davis put ilar }one to Mr. Haralson, Chairman of the Military Committee in that body; but he, like Mr. Benton, was mum. As I have had to unravel many of Mr. Polk’s piace sere betore now, for the benefit of the count shall d do the same in this case, and an- | ewer ai of Mr. Webster and Mr. Davis. The secret of the business is this—that the Sec- retaries of War and of the Navy have sent in esti- mates to the military and naval committees respec- tively, of the ei eben quantity te saltpetre and oth- er materials, for an army and navy, sufficiently — to protect the country against ao attack from land. This is the mystery of the matter, which 9 sufficiently strong ot gunpowder. na will see from this heal roitly cautious Mr. Polk has been in’placing these inflammable matters in the hands of members of both houses, so that his fingers might not be burned with them in the handling of them himself. ‘That is, he knows that the condition of our foreign relations demands the immediate supply of all the material for an effec- tive military and naval force, but is desirous to —— the responsibility of calling, on Congress for lies, upon Congress itself. ingress, n the ot er hand, is not willing to gratity him, s he first inform them tse what grounds the demand is .| required All he has said in this respect is—as be seen in Mr. Polk’s last le—that “ rea- sons” exist for this increase; proves that they do, by a reference to his message of 2d December last!’ The rest of that curious paper 1s taken up in pointing out what Queen Victoria and Sir Robert eel have said, and which every one besides Mr. Polk, knew as 'wellashe. If Mr. Polk himself be Rot inaptly compared to a $ peomesinal point, which has neither length, bread or Hiknest, he ough, certainly to have told the Senate of somethi ng they were not already apprised, unless he intende his message to be Fowenye itis to them, and to every body elsee—a eae) A word to the Senate.

ARIEL. ‘Wasuinaton, March 27, 1846. The democratic members of the Senate held a caucus yesterday, at the capitol, and agreed to close next. There was a full attendance of them there; and it is also understood that many ot the whigs in the same body, have agreed to suspend all discus- ‘sion on the subject on the same day. In addition to the information given you in my letter of Monday last, that Mr. McLane informed the Secretary of State of England’s intention not to move any more in making propositions to this gov- ernment for the adjustment of our territorial claims in Oregon; he, as well as Mr. King, our Minister at Paris, and Mr. Armstrong, our Consul at Liver - pool, have likewise informed the President that the the apathy that prevails in this country on the sub- ject of providing agai nst a hostile movement by Eng- against us, while she is arming herself to the teeth fer the first occasion that may call for the ex- ercise of her military power. Upon the subject of saltpetre, and other materials for warlike operation, I have been informed that there 1s a full supply on hand in the government ar- senals; and that the military cemmittees of both Houses do not consider it necessary to call for any appropriations at present to procure an additional ously, When they make their reports, which will be very soon now, they may require the manning = pe all our fortresses along our ate e sheets but beyond that the: 3 fone not pag ate to go atthistime.
