One half this last sessien of the Thirty-first Con- gress is expended, and they have done little or no- whing, or the next thing to nothing. Week after week has been frittered away in triflee, in speeches or Buncombe, in clap trap, ia adjourning over to Monday from Thursday, and from Thursday to Monday, and in the smallest pretences of earning those eight dollars per day, aud roast beef, and plum pudding. We hear of levées, and routs, and balls, and parties, in which our law-makers cut a Jarge figure; bat we heer very little of anything ‘done for the public benefit, in the public business depending before the two hcuses. We have waited till patience ie out of the question. It is time there were some understanding, or some revelation, or adication, of the intenions of the wise men at ‘Washington. ‘The proceedinge upon the Cheap Postage bill are good es fer as they go; but upoa the revenue and tariff ques ions—upon the importaat question of providing for the public debt—upon the equally im- portant question of providing additional steamers for the naval and postal service—upon the subject eblix atory upon us from treaty stipulations, of de- fending our Mexicen fronties from the Apaches and Camanches— upon the public printiag—upon rivers and harbors, and various other measures of national mportance, our jaw-makers stand in statu quo, but always ready to adjourn toa warm dinner. They have but indifferent beef in Washington at the Doarding houses, end to be palatable, it must neither be cold nor overdone. Their potatoes are small potatoes; but their baked beans and hommiay are @aid to be delicious, if taken hot, at about three o'clock, post meridian. Hence it is, that the two houses, as ‘ong as possible, continue to meet, and fritter away the day till about three, when a mo- March. Amen! Tuz New Postacr But.—The details of the Postage bill will give -atisfaction generally to the community; but in ;ublishing it in our colamns, we cannot but express 4 hope that that portion of it which relates to the postage aud weigh: of news- papers, will be meditied when the Senate take the subject into co..siceration. Newspapers in this country are made of paper fabricated from cotton stock, aud in England of paper in which linen stock is largely used. The English newspapers are heavier and more durable than those of this country; and the proposed law will preclude the American publishers from making apy improvement in the texture and weight of their paper, the quality of which seems to demand cor- ection. Should our publishers be able to use any portion of linen stock, er to increase the thickness of their paper, this law would operate against such enterprise. Besides, we think that the post-office department and the publie will be in a constant wrangle about the weight of newspapers, particu- larly with respect to fractions of ounces. Post- masters will be engaged in the trivial work of tearing off wrappere, weighing, and disputing, while more essential business will be neglected or delayed. The simple fact of a mail being made wet by any accident, would impose a wax upon those taking new>papers; for a news: r tho- roughly saturated with water, would we much more than in the ordinary condition ia which it comes from the press; and who will stop to dry taem? An additional reason for opposition to this regu- Jation is this—that the public would be deprived, on many occasions, of receiving important intelli- gence, now givem to them in supplements and | double sheets. If we must bave a limit to news- or the semi-civilized and semi-barbaric attrac- tions of Constantinople ; or the Spanish hos pitalities of Rio Janeiro, or the luxurious climate and sunny society of Havana, will fiad it rather monotonous in the capital of our mighty republic, if his object is the pleasures of a great and wealthy city. Washington is rather a poor place—without com- merce, without manufactures, without a localized wealthy; aristocracy, even of the codfish order; and main'y dependent upon the annual appropria- tion bills. The President must be a republican. He cannot afiord to treat all the people to a ball as exclusive as Louis Napoleon. The secretari vpon six thousand a year, do the best they can, but they occupy rented houses—the rooms aresmall, and every entertainment is a suffocating jam. The diplomatic corps have to submit to the same in- conveniences. The winter assemblies are expea- sive enough to be select ; but the same old set from year to year, meke them heavy. Operas ere out of the question; the National Theatre was burn, down the night efter Col. Polk’s inauguration ; and but for Barnum and Jenny Lind, it never could bave been reclaimed even for the purpose of a circus. The lectures at the Smithsonian Institu- tion are admirably adapted to the religious orders ; terranean drinking establishments, and in faro banks, where many a law maker is fleeced of his | pay and mileage ; and in other institutions of a cor- responding character, our federal city imitator of the vices of older and more noted pepere, let us have that assigned by the last law, which has reference to superticial inches, and not thi: Tue NicaRaGuA QUESTION AND THE SENATE OF | ug Unrrep States —On Thursday last, General | 0 time. Shields offered a resolution in the United States | Senate, calling for information from President | Fillmore, on the state of ovr affairs with the re- public of Nicaragua. The resolution was passed | unanimously, and the public may seon expect somethiog like a correct histery of the remarkable | transactions, on the part of British agents, which | have surprised and distressed the Nicaraguan go- | vernment, at the same time that they have placed our own government in a very unenviable position. | However, we trust in Mr. Webster’s ability and | disposition to do justice to this subject. We can- not think that he will add to the mistake already | made, by the recall of Mr. Squier from Ceatral America. On the contrary, we are fully satisfied that he will exhibit the same national epirit that characterized his conduct recently, with respect to the Austrian Minister. Should this be done faith- | fully—as we do not doubt it will be—the public will have a view of some of the most remarkable di- plomatic documents in the archives of the govern- ment, and there will be an opportunity for the pub- lic to make use of rare discrimiaation in taste, be- tween their admiration of the epistolary styles of the Austrian Minister and of Sir Henry Lytton Bulwer ; and, if the letters of the latter should be the hands of the Sena public attention. The Senate of the United States have a very plain history to deal with. The San Juan di Niea- regua is no longer of Nicaragua, but, as the English instruct us to think, of Great Britain—under the soubriguet of Greytown. We may stick a pin there, es a point from which to start, and then which may be worthy of | | to weight. We trust that the Senate will see to | scarce, perhaps one or two may be found now, in | | places ; but with this branch of the subject we have | nothing to do in this instance. The winter's gay season at Washington has Lind. A week'y gatliering in the Eas: Room, | weekly round of p-rtes among the Secretaries, and an occasional “at home’’ by an M. C. or di- plomat then, and, once ina while, an amateur concert, comprise the « atalegve of fash onable amusements; but we have been informea that the guests of the National Hoe —:m»racing a number of newly married members of both houses—have organized, | ack with the advice aud covsect of the landlord, sive plen; that they are well attended, and are quite the thing. But, after all, the debates in Congress, the lions of the day, the public build- ings, and the political plots, must be the chief de- | tie pendence of a winter’: y in Washington. Their | crowded parties are only agreeable to the stranger | from the edvantege they give of a familiar contact | with disuaguiemed people end humble office veek- ers. And it is, perhaps, all for the best that Wash- ington is nothing more than a parcel of “ villages scattered over a goose common.” It is well ven- tilated; and it it has but little of the society, and but few of the amusements of greater cities, it 1s doubtless an advantage to the treasury, and a safe- guard egeinst a too rapid developement of political corruptions. aad Political!

In the long course of hie judicial career he had never known a case of mutiny, such as theirs, which id not end in murder. It was crime so dangerous that the lew punished them as pirates; andonly for the jate act jh modified the law re- speoting crimes upon the high seas, the Court would now be com pelled to pass upon each of them the sen- tence of death; but the la punishes the offence with imprisonment end hard labor for periods ranging as bigh as ten years; this wes hardly a case which ren dit secoeny to award that degree of puaish- ment. Thejury had recommended three of them to mercy. All of them, except Nicholas, had returned to the working of the vessel, but they forfeited all claim to the consideration of the Court for the course of conduct they had exercised towards the Captein; rendered it necessary for the Captain to submit to their demands; they got the navigation of the chip under their control, and took her out of her course. There is, however, s difference in the conduct ef rome of the prisoners; they returned to duty, but it was when their object was attained. In this case, therefore, the Court was determined to make an exam- le of allof them. He was determined that this should be & severe lesson to them, and to all who know their conditien and their crime, and with a hope that every man going to sea shall learn that he must be obedient tothe discipline of the ship; they were all poor men; it would be, therefore, & mere word to place @ fine of $2000 on them; and if he ordered them to be kept in curtody till it was paid. it would be equal to sentencing them to impriscnment for life, But as the law compels the Court to im| a fine, he should order them to pay #ixpence cunts ad- dition to their various terms of imprisonment.

There appears to be nolet up, and it ia very probable that there will be no lull in the market ef any importence, but the progress of prices be on- ward, until they break down from their own weight, and 8 panic closes the performances for the season. It will be seen by quotations current during the past | week, that nearly every fancy stock in the list is enors | mously inflated—some of them more than they havo been for many years, or perhaps more than they wild be again for some years to come. That there hae been, within the past month, a great change in tho class of bolders of fancy stocks generally, there io not the rlightest doubt, and that the holders now aro weak and unable to hold in the face of apy important depreciation, is equally true.

Steamsurrs—Rive Prerensions oF BaLrowore anv ParLaveLemias.— An application has been made to Congrees by seve- ral influential citizens of Virginia and the city ot Phi ad Iphia, for the establishment of » line of mail steamers to ron alternately, from Norfolk and rope, touching at Portsmouth, England. Since the presentation of this epplicatien, the citi- zens of Baltimore have memorialized Congress to authorise a contract to be made for the transporta- tion of the mails from Baltimore and Norfolk to England. This, we presume, will be more ac ble to the people of Virginia that sition, as hey would always have the steamers running to and from Norfolk, instead of sharing | that advantage with Philadelphia. Moreover, | there would be no advantage to any part of the | country obtained by transportation of the Earopean mails to and from Philade|phia, lying, ae that city Joes, so near to New York, and eo fur from the sea; whilst it must be admitied that there is no lit ' We force in the arguments urged on behalf of the | South in favor of a reg mail line from Norfolk We believe that no more efieetual “ Union mea- se” could be devised than the extension of g vern aid to these important steam enterprises, 1 South 'as wel asinthe North.
