The termination of the Thirtieth Congress will be followed immediately by that of the administration of Mr. Polk and the insuguration of Gen. Zachary Taylor, and the accession of a whig goverament. Notwithstand-ng all that has been said and writ- ten in opposition to the admiaistration now going out of power, it bas, on the whole, been a brilliant one forthe country. Mr. Polk, however, caanot ay much claim to meritfor its success, and for the advanteges which it hos conferred on the country. He had the good tortune to have associated with him an oble and talent:d cabinet, with the exception of the Pestmaster General.

If this be true with regard to him, who was the glory and the shame of the age in which he lived, it is equally true with reference to Shakespeare. Many bave attempted to give readings of him but they have failed it was reserved for thie lady to achieve complete and triumphant success. It would be both absurd and presumptuous, at this time of day, to attempt to throw amy now light upon the genias of Shakepeare, the poet of all ager, “ the master of human nature,”’— “ Bis joy, or grief, his weal, or wo Ferotauco vy ‘scape the page of fame, ‘Yet uations now unbvra will Bnow ‘The record +f nis deuthiors name.” Future ages will endorse what their predecessors have ‘aid respecting him.

It is not our intention, as it would not be in unison with our ideas of good taste, to praise this lady.

She stands oa the highest pinnacle of bistrionio celebrity, where she requires no praise, and where the shafts of oriticiem cannotreach her.

General Taylor’s Inaugural Addre: ‘Wasninaton, March 4. 1849, General Taylor ha: been closeted to-day with his cabinet for three hours, jd has laid his inaugural before them. Comyered with other iusugurals the document is brief. ‘The General says, in effect, that baving been called to the Presidential chair by the voice of the nation, he is determined to administer the government om broad uastional principles, and as far as be is able, for the best interests of the whole country. He thinks that it is the duty of all good oitiz to alley, instead of ex- citing the antagoni existing between the North and the South on theslavery question. He will saac- tion any reasonable adjustment of the question, which shall not jeopardise the constitutional tights of either eections of the country. ‘As to the question of slavery in California he thinks it more properly 8 matter for the decis‘on of the legal tribural.

THE crn The House bil, requiring the Seeretary of State, the Secretary of the Home Department, and Postmaster General, to report to next Congress, the best plan of taking cenrus, was next laid before the Senate, and the question was debated by Messrs, Westcott, John Davie and King. Mr. Kine could not see the connexion of the mea- sure with the Homo Department. ‘The Census bill was passed, HOME DEPARTMENT. ‘The House bill was taken up, providing for a Home Department, to include the Berean of Pensions, [ndian affairs, and Patent Offiee; the Secretary of said depart- ment to be called the Secretary of the Interior. This bill wes debated by Messrs. King, Cameron’ Bright, Jefferson, Davis, Calhoun, and Foote. The bill was read by sections. Mr. Foote appealed that the bill was important, for the correct ministration of the Executive Bureau. The committee of the Senate reported various amendments to the bill. One of them proposes to strike out the commis: er of the customs, Mr, Hunten was in favor of striking all this out. He said we wanted no such commissioner. Mr, Jerrenson Davis wasin favor of the provision, as it is recommended by the Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Hunter said that there was no necessity for the office. Mr. Acres opposed the creation of any more Cabi- net Officers, or any other officers. There are two things that never go backwards officers and in- crease of salaries. Unless we retrench, we shall never pay the national debt. Mr Jxrrerson Davis thought the Senator from Ohio need not be alarmed, the bill merely proposes a reor- ganisation of the division of Labors of the Depart- ment, Mr. Hunter was opposed to the bill. The two great Sources of revenue were the customs, and the public lands, and there is no propriety in taking them from the head of the Treasury, Mr. Weester was in favor of the Home Department. Ever since the time of Monroe it had been recommend- ed te the attentien of Congress. Mr Nicks made a strong appeal agatnet this pro- posed extension of Executive patronage. This thing, patronage, never goes backward; bat ever constant efforts are insufficient to stop its expansion. Mr. Mason followed in s learned speech, showing, first, that there was no ssity for this Interior De- partment; second, that it was the business of the fede- ral government #0 to take care of exterior relations; thirdly, that the bill was the ring wedge to the small owning up of the separate independence of the States by the overshadowing power of the federal go- vernment. Afters powerful appeal against the bill, he moved that it be laid on the table. Lost—22 to 31. Mr Caxnoun then took the floor as if the emergency of the case demanded a otrong appeal egainst the bill; and be made such an appeal, adopting the opinion of the Senstor from Vir, ja, that thie Department for the Interior looked to absorption of the powers of the States. @ Mr. Foorr contended that with the developement of the power and resources of the country. and the in crease of its population, the Pubiio business and the Public offices must imoresse ; hence the ne. ity for this Home Departrrent. It was recommended by the Seeretary of tho Treasury, and there was every reason toeuppere that he fairly understands all the necessities of the case, Mr. Ar ton asked to let the Senate recede from the Cherokee amendment of this twelve hundred thou- sand to the Indian bill.
