It will probably be of some interest in both a political and commercial point of view. We may receive it this morning. Doings in Congress—The Oregon Treaty and the Tariff. The Oregon Treaty was yesterday afteenoon confirmed by the Senate. The proceedings other- wise, were not of a very interesting or important character Mr. Allen, the late Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, in the Senate, made an un- successful effort to abolish Executive sessions; and, from the remarks made in debating that point, we should judge that the reports which have been pretty freely circulated in relation to the terms of the Oregon Treaty, were essentially correct. The session of the House of Representatives was almost entirely devoted to personal explana+ sions between several of the members. The tariff was under consideration, but there appears to be considerable difficulty in deciding upon | which of the various bills presented the House will adopt. The one reported by the Committee of Ways and Means, at the last session, appears to be the favorite, and will, without doubt, be finally accepted. It comprises the specific and ad valorem principles, to an extent equal to the act now in operation, and does not propose such greatreduction as the bill emanating from the Treasury Department. The policy of placing a duty upon any article, to remain until the close of the war, is doubted, as itleaves our commereial system in an unde- cided, unsettled state, tending to operate unfavor- ably upon our foreign trade. It would be better to place duties upon certain articles ntended for revenue, to meet extraordinary expenses, for a definite time, so that thase engaged in commerce could govern themselves accordingly. We want some settled system for the regulation of our fo- reign trade, and nothing left subject to any con- tingency. | American Naval Schools—The Effects of Sausage Democracy. There is at present a great demand for seamen to man our navy; and a bounty of twenty dollars is offered,with an advance of pay for three months, to seamen who will enlistin the service. This shows the great scarcity of good sailors that exists, and this scarcity is attributable to the breaking up of our excellent naval schools, and tothe continual efforts that have been made within the last few years by the sausage democracy in Congress,to cut down our naval establishments. Our best seamen are employed in the merchant service; and instead of having our navy manned with hardy, active and intelligent sailors, such as the naval schools turned out, our navy will be obliged to take ineffi- cientand undisciplined landsmen, unaccustomed to sea life, and totally unacquainted with the duties of a sailor. We believe that during the administration of Mr. Van Buren, naval schools were established at Boston, New York, Norfoli, and other places. The large line-ot-battle ships were converted into school-ships, and a certain number of boys were received on board, and instructed in every thing appertaining to a sailor's lite; besides they received a good practical education in the different useful branches of knowledge. At these schools there was no distinction of persons. Boys of every grade and rank in life were received and instructed; and the consequence was, that from these school’ a body of seamen were turned out that did honor to the institution. But an outery was soon raised against the expense of these esta- blishinents, by the sausage democracy in and around Congress, and they were abolished. Now the main argument of this same sausage democracy against West Point, is, that it isan aristocratic institution. Those naval schools were essentially democratic; but nevertheless they were obliged to succumb to te furious attacks of the demagogues in Congress. This is a sufficient evidence of the hollowness and insincerity of the sausage portion of creation. The most respectable families in the country, sent their sons to receive a nautical education at these schools. The pupils were from every rank in life; and from the excellent discipline main- tained on board those vessels, and the thorough edueation which the pupils received, they made as hardy, efficient, active, and intelligent 2 body of seamen, as any in the world, Had these schools continued in existence, our navy would now be ably manned, and we would not be obliged, as we new are, todelay our operations for wanto{ men, and offer a bounty for men as we would for the growth of flax or the destruction of wolves, The expenses of these schools was trifling, compared to the material advantages that ac- crued to the country from their establishment. How short-sighted is the policy that would cripple all our military and naval establishments, merely to gain a little short-lived popularity. Tue CeLesration or tue Fourtu or Juty.— The approaching anniversary of our national ndependence should be celebrated on an unusu- ally grand and magnificent scale. Everything conduces to endue the day and its associations, with more than ordinary interest in the minds of the American people. Our army has lately gain- ed two glorious victories on the banks of the Rio Grande; and we have escaped along and bloody war by an honorable adjustment of the difficul- ties growing out of the Oregon question. We are in the enjoyment of great national prosperity; and the liveliest ardor for the maintenance of those republican institutions secured to us by the Declaration of Independence, prevails among our citizens. What time, then, so appropriate for a xreat national demonstration ? We hope the authorities of this city, the Heart of the Union, will make suitable arrangements for such a celebration of the approaching festival as will be worthy of the metropolis of the United States. We hope never to see the day when the ceremonies, suitable to our greatest national anni- versary, will fall into disuse ; and more particu- larly should it be celebrated with uncommon splendor on the present occasion, when so many things contribute to make us proud of our country and her institutions. The Common Council have appropriated $2,000 towards defraying the expenses of the public ceremonies on that day. —— A er Tue CLERGY.—A resolution of inquiry on the propriety of extending to the clergy all the politi- eal privileges that are enjoyed by other citizens, and imposing On them, an equal proportion of the taxation of the yoverprnent, has been intro- duced into the Convention now in ses sion in Albany. We certainly looked for some changes in our organic laws, but we had no idea the convention would proveed as far as this.. We are glad, however, that this question is bre it forward, because a little discussion will ds pe the advantages and disadvantages, that might result trom the proposed change. | sleeping together on the bare ground, and some- ‘The Condition of Ireland—-The Privations of its Population, If volumes were to be written on the superiority of republican institutions, and of a government, | the citizens of whirh have their industry un- trammelled by burthensome taxes and coercive enactments, they would not carry such conviction as the startling facts revealed by the several com- missions appointed within the last twenty yeara, to enquire into the condition of the peasantry and laboring classes of Ireland. Lord Devon’s com- mission exposed some appalling instances of mis- ery and destitution. Death from starvation is by no means unfrequent ; and if such bas been the case in seasons of comparative plenty, what will | it be in the present awful crisis, when one-third: | if not more ofthe potatoe crop, the sole means of | subsistence, of millions of the people, has utterly | failed ? The report of the Commons’ Committee of 1880, statés, that one-fifth—perhaps one-fourth of the entire population is considered to be out of em- ployment; and it states further, that this, together | with other evils, produced “ misery and suffering, which no language can possibly describe.” A commission of inquiry was issued in 1883, among the members of which were the Protes- tant and Catholic Archbishops of Dublin. This | commission having worked until 1885, were, even | then, prepared to give but a preliminary report, | in which they state that a great portion of the po- | pulation are insufficiently provided, at any time, with the commonest necessaries of life, their habi- tations being wretched hovels, several of a family | | | | times without a blanket to cover them. Their food consists of potatoes, and even of this food there is not always a sufficiency. The commis- sion recommended the adoption of means to al- leviate this dreadful wretchedness, but the mat- ter was suffered to drop. Another commission was issued in 1889, which reported, among other revolting details of misery and destitution, that the Irish peasant is ‘‘ badly housed, badly fed, badly clothed, and badly paid | for his labor—that in many districts the only food | of the peasant is the potatoe, and his only bever- | age, water. His cabin is seldom a protection | against the weather, and a bed and a blanket is a rare luxury.” This report recommended remu- | nerative employment as the only means of relief. No adequate means of reiief have as yet been adopted. Alexander Nimmo, Esq., in his evidence be- fore the committee of the House of Lords in 1824, says, ‘I coneeive the peasantry of Ireland to be almost in the lowest possible state of existence, their food being potatoes and water, very often without any thing else.” Mr. Nevenham, in his | evidence before the Commons’ committee in the same year, says, ‘I have seen several countries, and I never saw any peasantry so badly off.” In Meath, Wicklow, Waterford, Down, Armagh, and other counties where fuel-is scarce, the pea- sant suffers great privations in winter, being often obliged to burn his straw bed, and to break up and burn his chairs and tables, if he happens to have any, to produce some warmth in his com- fortless cabin; and this, too, when, in many cases, he is surrounded by rich bogs ; such bogs, of course, belonging to the owner of the land. The dress of the peasant is of the poorest des- cription, and withal extremely scanty. The chil- dren are literally half naked from the time that they are ten months, till they are ten years old.— | Even then they are clothed in the misfittiny gar- ments oftheir parents. They are very seldom provided with decent raiment. In parts of Munster, visited by the Commission- | ers, the cabins are said to have in general a bed- stead filled with straw. The better class of la- | borers and herdsmen have feather-beds, a coarse | Sheet, and a quilt laid over them. Asto furniture, @ board laid over a potato pot, is frequently the | only table. They have alsa some stools There is a recess in the wall that serves as a cp board, and some wooden vessels serve as crockery.— | hourly to overthrow it, | well received. M: | the pit three shilling: | Demonstration in favor | Initiative Meeting for the Presidency. ing was held last evening, in Constitution Hall, the sentiments of the people on the late gallant conduct of General Taylor, on the banks of the | Rio Grande. The Hon. Georcr Fotsom officiated as Presi- dent, assisted by some halfdozen Vice-Presidents. After the President had taken his seat he made | a brief address, sett'ng forth that he attended the | meeting merely as _a spectator, and that he acted as President on the occasion in obedience te the voice of the meeting. He apprehended the nature of the call for the meeting had been misunder- stood. He hud heard that it was called for the purpose of nominating General Taylor for the residency—but it was only to give an expression | of the opinion of the people on the heroic services | of General Taylor and the men under his com- | mand. | Mr. J. T. Van Auten then proposed the follow- | ing preamiie and resolutions :— ereas, the recent successes of our arms on the banks of the Rio Grande, call for the warmest expres- sions of national gratitude from the hearts of the Ameri- ople, to the brave and gallant men by whose ‘energy an enem! superior Palisa beet a (S'sbandon' the field and | prowe of numbers has been compe! seek refuge in flight, ‘ ‘Therefore, Resolved, That the ability, patriotism, and allantry so effieiently displayed by the commanding reveny vin, in the Soeliiot of the war upon and especially on of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma, where against fearful odds he eet overwhelming vic- tories, deserve the lasting gratitude of his fellow citize: and entitle him to a distinguished rank among the heroes of his country. That whatever rewards may hereafter await Resolved, the gallant veteran at the hands of the American Howler there are none above his merits as a sold: OF | man; and that the same enviable qualities that e led | to his triumphal caver in the field, will not less adorn | and distinguish the highest civil’ station that may be | awarded him, Resolved, That this masting acknowledges with prou isfaction the gallant bearing of the associt , both oflicers and men, Whose deeds of valor have shed such imperishable glory upon can name ; nor can we forget the mourntul tribute due to the memory of those who fell in their country’s cause, | —their names will live not only in the pages of history, | but in tho hearts and warm affections of their fellow | citizens. Resolved, That these Resolutions be transmitted to | General Taylor, and that copies of them be furnished to | the press. | The Hon, Jupast Haxtatoxn proposed the following :— | Resolved, That the men under the command of Gene- ral Taylor, and all the b: “ rough and ready” men | who have volunteered their valuable services in defence | of their country, and who survive this war, as well the families of such as have fallen, or may fall in the | war, deserve to receive from their country @ bounty of | ono hundred and sixty acres of land onthis side of the Rio Grande, to sustain themselves in time of peace. | Itinw to say that these resolutions were | passed wi sly. Fousom then addressed the meeting in a brief | speech. He said that as regards the resolutions just | sed, there could be but one opinion throughout ‘the | ngth and breadth of the land. When our brave army | was encompassed on all sides by @ foe that threatened | and when doubt and despon- dency hung over the Iand—when the honor of the Ame- | rican name was in danger of being sullied, and our brave | army cut off ingloriously, that gallant little army, under | the command of the gallant ‘‘ Rough and Ready”— | (Cheers)—cut his way clear; and at the memorable battles of Palo Alto, and Resacade la Palma, accom- plished one of the greatest victories ever achieved. Ni withstanding these victories, and th which they were achioved, with innumerable dvan- | tages, and in the face of a foejoverwhelmingly numerous, there has not, if he has been correctly informed, been any public meeting in the country, to express the grati- tudelof the people. ‘The resolutions, just passed eo un- animously, will undoubtedly meet the approval of every | man in the country. In the midst of the despondency | and gloom that was caused throughout the country, in consequence of the perilous co ndition of our army; when even the leading men in the administration wei fearful of disaster, that gloom and despon felled in a moment, as it were, by the f Pale Alto and Resaca dela Palma.

Mr. Dan Marble, who, we are glad to hear, has recovered from his temporary indis- position, produces this evening his new prize comedy of | “ Family Ties,” said to be written by @ son of Henry | Clay. i American play, and is suited to Mr. Mai- ble’s style of acting. It is cast to Strength of the company ; and if near so good as it is said to be, musi bo Marble is afterwards to appear in his favorite piece, * ‘The Game Cock of the Wilderness.” ‘The prices for the summer season have been reduced, | the admission to the boxes being but fifty cents, and to | os Boweny Tueatne.—The splendid spectacle of the There is seldom more than one bed in a cabin. Labor is estimated at such a low standard, that afarmer can getasmany men as he want: to work for him at 12s. and 15s. per quarter, and their diet, and sometimes they are glad to work tor diet as their only remuneration. | Two evils that conspire to impoverish the Irish people are absenteeism and want of fixity of te- nure. Very few large landed proprietors live on their estates. They generally reside either in England or on the continent. They leave their | estates to the care of agents, who generally con- | trive to enrich themselves, regardless of the ruin | of the peortenantry. The price ofland is raised, | until it is utterly impossible for the tenant to pay | his rent, and he is then ejected without any re- | muneration for his years of toil. From one of the reports ofthe Land Commissioners, it appears that within the period of five years, from 1827 to 1833, inclusive, as is proved from the records of the Civil Bill Courts, and the Superior Courts, no less than 160,000 tenants were subjected to eject- ment process. These causes conspire to produce agrarian crimes and outrages ; for most of the Irish crimes, | as appears by the calendar, are of an agrarian character, The people are often without food, clothing, er even lodgment of any description. Their families are frequently turned out to starve on the road side, They possess strong passions, of which the desire of revenge is one of the most predominant, and they think it no crime to take wild vengeance for injuries inflicted on themselves and their fami- lies. From the numberless cases of misery and destitution, these outrages must necessarily be of more frequent occurrence, but for the influence of the clergy, who do all in their power to keep the peasantry under the restraint of the laws. Taking these things into consideration, it is not at all surprising that there should be such an in- cessant influx of emigrants from Ireland to this country. Here they can earn a decent sustenance, and can clothe and lodge themselves comfortably by the exercise of that industry, which, under , their own government at home, is vain and pro- fitless. The contrast between the grinding op- pressions which they suffer in their own country, and the prosperity which the freedom of Ameri- can institutions enables them to attain in this, be- ing so striking, it is by no means strange that they shguid cherish a strong attachment for the land of their adoption. They make excellent republicans; and they have shewn, by their readiness to fight for their adopted country, in the present war with Mexico, that they are not excelled by native born citizens in loyalty and devotion to American insti- tations. CanapiAN INTELLIGENCE.—We sce by the Cana- dian papers, that some important ministerial changes are in progress in that colony. Itis said that Mr. Robinson is to be Chief Com- missioner of Public Works. It is stated also that Sir Allan McNab isto be Adjutant General; Mr. Pa- pineau has resigned. Mr. Sherweod, late Solici- tor, has also resigned, and is to be succeeded by Mr. Boulton, or Mr. Cameron. Mr. Moren is talked of as SirAllen McNab’s successor in the Speakership. There is scarcely any thing as yet, but rumor, as tothose who are to ogeupy the places of those who are now resigning.

There is evidently arother speculative ad- vance about taking place, and it is probdble that prices will go higher this time than the last.

A question of much interest to bankers and merchants, was decided a day or two ago by the Supreme Court of Petersburg, Virginia. The point was whether a note made in Virginia, and expressed to be negotiable and payable at a bank in New York, was a negotiable note by the laws of Virginia, and so upon a footing with fo- | Feign bills of exchange. The decision turned upon the | construction of the following clause of the act of 1627, prescribing general regulations for the incorporation of banks : “But no note or obligation shall be negotiable at any such bank unless it be so expressed on the face of such note or obligation, or unless said note or obligation ‘be made payable at said bank, or some other bank in or out of the State. The Court decided that, under this provision, a note made payable at any bank in or out of the State is nego. tiable, though not expressed to be negotiable at any bank in Virginia; and, consequently, that the note in question was negotiable, and on the same footing with a foreign bill of exchange. It was contended in opposition to this opinion, that the effect of the provision in question is, that a note, to be negotiable at a bank in Virginia, must not only be so ex. pressed on its face, (as was already required by the bank charters), but that it must likewise be made payable at some bank in or out of the State—the counsel reading the clause as the word ‘‘ or” had been “nor.” The receipts of the Michigan Central Railroad for the month of May this year and last, and for the six months ending May Sist in the past two years, show a per cent” increase hardly equalled by the celebrated Reading Railroad of Pennsylvania. The gross income for May this year, was more than one thousand dollats per day, being anincrease compared with last year of more than one hundred per cent. Crxtrat Rattroap, Micmraar.

Had the motive pow er the road been larger, the business, and, therefore, the | &Toss receipts would have been much greater, as there , has been more freight offered for transportation than the red | Company could carry. ‘We have not heard much recently in relation to tho Eastern company contemplating purchasing this rod, | but we presume there is very little doubt but that the ' object it had in view in petitioning for the privilege of purchase, will be carried out as speedily as possible. | There can be no doubt of the ability of the road, unders Proper administration of its affairs, to pay a very largo dividend upon its cost. It will be perceived on reference | to its receipts, that more than fifty per cent of its in- come is from freight, which exhibits an amount of lo. cal business of that kind almost unpreco Its freighting business is all purely local, from the fact that the road does not terminate at any point, where it can command what can be called through business, We can‘ not predict the result of an extension of this road. When completed to some point on the Western coast of Michi gan, where it can command the business of the Western | States, such as Illinois and Missouri, its business must ‘be immense, and its gross increase,of course,correspond- ingly large. Should the State of Michigan be compelled to retain Possession of the road, its net receipts would ina few years, pay a very large part of the interest on the State | debt,and relieve the people very much from the burdens | of taxation. It would be to Michigan, what the Erie Canal is to the State of New York, and would be a per- manent and large source of revenue. The only object in view in disposing of the road to an incorporated compa" ny, is to relieve.the government of the State from the additional duties, and the appointment of additional off- cers, which the management of the road would require. Tre Connecticut House of Representatives have grant- ed permission to the New York and Hartford Railroad Company to commence operations as soon as $200,000 have been subscribed, instead of one million, as first proposed They ha’ also extended the time for expending the $200,000. A proviso has also been adopted, that no part of the road shall be opened or operated between the Harlem and the Housatonic roads, until the whole road between the Housatonic and the City of Hartford is finished The object of this proviso, is to prevent the drain of business from the Housatonic above Danville, to the Harlem, where the connection is made. We would ask, how it is that those interested in the extension of the Harlem Railroad do not exert them selves in aiding the completion of the road through Con necticut to Hartford. It would quadruple the business and income of the Harlem, as it would connect it with all the Now England railroads. The importance of the connection must appear clear enough to every one, but ‘we want some movement made to carry it through. It ‘was our first impression that the new board of directors and the new president of the Harlem Company, would make some effort to push the extension of their road; but we have almost abandoned all hope, and the people o this city must content themselves with the mismanage ment of this and other works of internal improvement, in which they are interested, a while longer. The Governor of Connecticut has vetoed the New York and Boston railroad bridge. The principal ob) tion of the executive, is a grant to this corporation o/ right to construct a bridge across the Connecticut rivar, below Hartford, which by an act of Congress is a port o| delivery. This is in fact the only objection, and it is 4 our opinion a good and sufficient one. Many railroad: 14 this country are connected by ferries, at points whe;
