It is thought, however, that the Northern powers must have calcu. lated with a strong degree of confidence on the breach between France and England before they would have attempted so bolda step. It is stated, on reliable autho- rity, that, should Franco and England consent to supply money and munitions of war, eight hundred thousahd Poles could be mustered in three months, to strike for the liberty of Poland; and that no other power need interfere, except passively, in giving aid and ‘encouragement. ‘The Flores expedition is scarcely thought of at pre- vent. The recent news from Enginnd seems to settle the quostion of the total failure of that absurd scheme.

The Death of Mr. Barrow--A Solemn Day in Congress ~Affecting Seene in the Sena'e Seldom has there come down u moro brilliant winter’s dey upon the Federal City—seldom a glcomier within the walls of the cepitel. It is not that the southern steamer of last evening brought us the sad intelligence of the loss of the United States brig Somers, of the Gulf squadron, and a third of her complement of men; it is not that we have heard of the loss of that eminent speaker and brave soldier, General Thomas L. Hamer, in Mexi tis not that the gloomy report from the city of the Angels is not yet satisfactorily contradicted; it is not that deeds of assassination of Americans and Mexicans are nightly committed along the line of our army, from \ tamoras to Saltillo—those are sufticient causes of melan- choly reflection, but they are not the causes of the deep gloom pervading both houses of Congress to-day. The cause lies nearer and closer to every inember of ths na- tional assembly. anu, whose remains are now in this city.

In the Senate, after a beantiful and aifecting prayer by the Rev. Mr. Slicer, the Vice President called the body to order, andthe reading of the journal being dispensed with, Mr. Johnaon, of La., the colleague of Mr. Barrow, stated the circumstances of the last sickness, and the end of the deceased, followed by a brief obituary reca- pitulation, with an appropriate eulogium upon the emi- uently meritorious character of the deceased. Mr. Ben- ton sustained it by a reference to bis acquaintance, from | 2 boy, with the late Senator. Mr. Breeso followed Col.

Aue xan- per Barxow, who died at Baltimore yosterday morning at 5 o’clock, after a short and violent uttack of illness, which would not yield to the best medical skill.

The deep anxiety felt here,not only by the members of both houses of Congress, hut by all classes of the community, w! | his dangerous situation became known through the tel | graph. is now dispelled by the melancholy gloom spreaa | over the whole city. It isindeed but too true that Alexan- | der Barrow,the pure patriot and enlightened statesman, is | no more. Three years have not passed away since Mr. Barrow announced inappropria ‘and elequent terms the death of his late distinguished colleague; and since then it » has devolved on me to present the ordinary resolutions as | amark of respect to the momery of two of my colleagues | ofthe other House of Congress, and a simlar resolution | will now be offered on this melancholy occasion. In | less than three years two Senators and two Representa- tives in Congress from the same State have been gather- ed to their fathers. ‘I'he death of my late colleague was the most unexpected; for he was not only ia the vigor of | life, but he possessed a strong constitution. The ways of Providence are indeed inscrutable. It may with truth be said,that “whilst in life we are indeath.” Of Mr. Ba row’s early history | know but little. He was a nati | of Tonnessee, and was, | am told, about forty-tive years } of age. His family and connexions are of the highestre- | apectability, and have boon long distinguished for their and patriotism. After having completed his edu- Ir. Barrow studied law, and was admitted to the bar ia Tennessee; immediately ufter which, I believe, he | removed to Louisiana, where he pursued his profession | for some time with success; and, had he remained at the { bar, would have attained the highest distinetion. Being independent in his circumstances, and fond ef agricul tural pursuits, after afew year’s praetice he retired from the bar and became a successful planter, and has since devoted his attention mainly to the cultivation of the earth Mr Barrow served, however, repeatedly in the Legisla- ture of Louisiana, with reputation, and was regarded ay a distinguished member ; and he received from the peo- | ple of the State many other proofs of their highest re- spect and confidence. His election to the Senate of the United Stutes, under circumstances the most flattering, is the best evidence of the high estimation in which he | Was held by the people of his adopted State, by whom | his charaeter and services will ever be held in grateful remembrance. ‘Ihe news of his death will produce thronghout the State, as it has produced hero, the deep- | est emotions of sorrow. Mr. Barrow was distinguished for his bland and courteous manners, for bis frank and manly deportment, aad for his many generous and noble | traits of character.

Mr. Brexsr, moved by the general sentiment, next | spoke. He told how he had really become acquainted with the deceased, and what pleasure he had derived from it. He had met him at Niagara at the close of the long ‘easion of 1842, and they had voyaged thence some | days together, homeward bound, over the great Jakes. It was inthe friendly intercourse of fellow travellers that the shining qualities of the character of the deceased had been developed. nak had met as mere acquaintances; they separated as fast jriends. Mr. Breese then feolingly adverted to the shock which the Senate had sustained in the lons of the dec d; and of the pride which his pre- sence, hia manners, and his good qualities had inspired and secured him.

I will now explain more fully. The gentleman has just received fo ravelling expenses, $1 264, as a momber of Congres: $48 as compensation and per diem pay—making $1,31 and I wish the reporters to note it. The gentle- man was responsible for another reason: he drew, down to last night, for his station —“one ream of writ paper, one do. note paper ;” all of which goes to show that he is liable and to make any. : {Laughter.)

Cotton Market. Moutre, Dec. 28.—Navigation on our rivers may now be considered as fairly opened, though our market has hardly felt its influence as yet, except as itis affected by downward freighta. As a natural consequence, cotton, corn, and other products of the country begin to come in freely. As our market is well stocked at present, we may mn to take a fresh impulse, and the and prosperity to stand out in every jepartment of trade. It may not be amiss to state that the reduction in the rates of freight between this city and New Orleans has materially lessened the prices of Western products of all kinds, as will be seen on refer- ence to our quotations below. Supplies may now be purchased as low, relatively, inthis market, asin any other in the country. The weather during the week has been ge: yn of business.

In relation to the crop of the country it seems to be enerally conceded that the estimates for the Gulf fi lized. Many careful observers set down thi pt ww Orleans at 700,000 bales, and the opinion is gaining ground that 325,000 bal this port is a large estimate. Should these views be ex- tablished the crop of the country cannot exceed 1,850,000 bales,unless the receipts at the Atlantic ports shall exceed the mates that have heretofore been made, and which ia thought to be improbable. It is important to observe that the falling off in the receipts is in the Gulf ports, where the average weight of bales is largely more, pro- bably 100 lbs more than the average in the Atlantic States, where the increase is expected.
