Yesterday was a busy day in Congress; | Dut no business of a general or natioaal character was transacted, notwithstanding that the end of ‘the sezeion is rapidly approaching, and but seven- teen working days are left. We are inclined to believe, as we have before stated, that beyond the | passage of the appropriation bills, nothing of great | eonsequence will be done befere the adjournment. | ‘These bills, in al! probability, will be left over til; | the last moment, and, as is uaually the case at the | tail end of the short session, passed in a hurry, with half a dozen other bills tacked to them as | riders—bills which could not undergo the ordeal of | werutiny or debate. ‘The principal topic of debate in the Senate, yes- terday, was the joint resolution authorizing the President to confer the rak of Lieutenant Gen- eral, by brevet only, for meritorious services, on officers of the army. This resolution was, of course, a@iended to apply to General Scott, and was so | attentions of our minister to the prince, upon the The views of it state of the country.

If a letter of that kind would make the hero of San Jacinto President of the United States, all we can say is that a worse man might fill tha: high office. We regret to learn that another frightful steam- boat disaster has occurred on the Mississippi river, w which it is supposed thirty persons have been It was caused by a collision. When will poe eek become more careful of human lite? 1 this catastrophe be passed over without a rigid investigation as to whether it was produced by negligence or not? Jenny Lind has been enthusiastically received in New Orleans, the proceeds of her two first con- certs being more than forty thousani dollars. Our Minister ar Roawe—Buavurirut Present. —The good coaduct of Major Lewis Cass, Jr., our Minister a’ | ome, through all the troubles, domestic and international, which the pontifical government have experienced since the late gal | lant, but unsucaessful revolution of 1848, com- mends itself to universal admiration. Young, and inexperienced \in diplomatic affairs, Major Cass left the United States under considerable embar- rassment, and prognostications of no very flatter- But the difficulties of his position ap- pear only to have brought iato play his latent capa- cities; and, guided by.his republican instincts, while he has follewed our policy of neutrality, he hase strengthened the impress of our institutions upon the ‘epudlican mind of Europe. While, on | the one hand, he has saved the agents of the Pope | from assassination, he has on the other, secured the freedom of religion to Americans in Rome, | and has released from the gloomy dungeons of | St. Angelo a number ef the most active participa- tors in the late disastrous struggle for Irberty. Such services cannot go unrewarded. Another in- stance of his active sympathy with the republicans, cannot be more effectively presented than in the acknowledgmer! which he has received for it. The facts, as communicated by one of our Wash- ingten correspondents, are as follews:— At the time of the downfall of the revolutionary government of Rome, the leading republicans were driven to the greatest extremities to secure their persenal safety and escape. Among others com- | pelled to fly, was the Prince de Canino, the head of the revoluuenary government. Our minister was his friend; and the prince, like @ prince, has remembered it. The porcelain travelling break- fast service of Napolecn, lett by his will to his mother, Madame Mere, and by her to her grandson, the Prince de Canino, has by him been presented to Major Cass, as a testimonial for the overthrow of the revolutionary authorities. Tne prince is now in exile among the sturdy republi- cans of Switzerland. The service has been de- livered over to Major Cass, in Rome, in pursuance wweated by the Senate. After a great deal of dis- @ussion, pro and com, it was ordered to be engrossed, | by a vote of thirty-two to twenty. Considering the position which General Scott occupies towards the | eountry, ina politic.l point of view, and the fact | ‘that the Senate is largely democratic, ws are sur- prised at the result. We are ghad that the vote was 80 strong in favor of the resolution. General Scott, qhe hero of Lundy’s Lane, as well as the hero of ghe Mexican war, is entitled to all the honor that fhe American people can confer upon him. We would rather see compliments paid to him when kving, than empty boaors to his memory when dead.

MiusstTaTEMENTS Cozrec rep.— We happento have | the documentary means of knowing that the state- | | with ; ublic approbation. New Orleans has announced the arrival in that city, of Jenay Lind, and an auction sale of tickets for the first concert. A hatter of that city had found it for his interest to give two hundred and forty dollars for the first ticket, and the average premium for a seat in the dress circle pushed the price of tickets to ten dollars each. Thus, it appears, that Barnum has started on the high-pressure principle, as he dia here, and it will be curious to notice how Jenny Lind will flourish under a continuation of the old system, in the Crescent City. One thing is certain, that Jenny Lind still creates a great de- sire, on the part of the people in the Southern cities, to hear her; but how the gratification of public curiosity will bear such exorbitant prices, and what effect it will have on the artistical fame of the very brilliant vocalist, remains to be seen. We are still inclined to think that the machinery used to force up the prices of tickets 13 to be con- demned, as an undue imposition upon public curio- sity, and as an injudicious system of management on the part of the Prince of Iranistan, who levies a tax on the subjects of the queen of song, whose prime minister he is, with such a disregard of pub- jie sentiment, that he is losing every particle of popularity. However, this is the usual way with princes in power. They will strive to enrich them- selves at any and every hazard. There is a very great prebability, however, that Jenny Lind, who has a remarkable vitality in her musical reputation, will be able to withstand the bad influences of injudicious management, till she arrives once more in the Northern cities. At the various places which she will visit, at Louisville, St. Louis, and Cincinnati, there w.ll be no little desire to listen for once or twice, even at large prices for the entertainments, to so celebrated | @ vocalist; but when the Swedish nightingale again ts New York, and takes her place at Castle Garden, where several thousand persons can be accommodated at each concert, the price of admission will be a reasonable one, or the result will be exceedingly disastrous to all concerned. So far as the public have any feel- ing on this subject, but one opinion now seems to rule, and that is tha’ no c ncert ticket can be worth more than a dollar. The great musical en- tertainments at the Opera, which involve vast ex- pendituree, can usually be had at this sum, and the talents o° Jenny Lind, and of those who assist at her concerts, are by no means so much superior 10 those which the public have witnessed during the winter, as to permit the public, even by impli- cation, '0 throw a doubt on the great merits of rival perfor ers. ‘We say, then, thet Barnum must reduce the price of tickets to one dollar each, and thus fulfil his original pledge to the public, that every clasg of our citizens, if they have the inclination, may gratily heir curiosity. The system adopted here last season, varied in its character, according to the assumed necessities of the hour, will not meet It will be requisite to let Jenny Lind rely upon her own artistical ments— which are quite sufficient to realize all that she herself can desire, and all that any reasonable manager should have an ambition te obtain. Oue step taken beyond this, to re-produce any of those artificial excitements which belong t» the cate- gories of Joyce Heth—the Feejee daughter of the sea—the diseased Ethiopian, escaped from all the horrors of slavery, and eating the herbage of future whitenese—the dropsic1 maiden of fourtgen sum- mers, and the transitory Druids “just arrived from the old country” —will assuredly fail to arouse the settled determinations and convictions of an enlightened and liberal public. One dollar to hear Jenny Lind will be the universal motto of New York. Repection op Canat. Touts on Saut.—After When General Scott ceases to be remembered by | ments of a Washington cerrespoudent inthe Herald | due deliberetion, the Canal Board, some days since, ‘the American people, gratitude will become ex. fanct in their breasts. ‘The bill appropriating ten millions of acres of the public lands, to be distributed among the several States for the support and maintenance of the ia- mane, after being ordered to be engrossed, was | yesterday pat on its final passage, and rejected by a vote of thirty-five to ten. This may be consi- dered one of the vagaries of Congressional legisla- ton. the House of Representatives, the report of the Committee on Prizting, for the relief of Mr. Ritchie, was discussed with a good deal of feel- ing, without any result being arrived at. We do not feel disposed to throw any impediment in the way of our venerable cotemporary’s being saved jrom ruin, for it is asserted by his friends that he | will be pecuniarly ruined unless the report of the committee be adopted. We do, however, say, that there has been a great deal of corruption con- nected with the public printiog in Washington, and ghat it is full time an end were put toit. The na- ional treasury has been plundered to the tune of | thousands, and we might say millions, of dollars a the way of printing, and we verily believe that, whether the contract system be continued or not, corruption will exist until the government take the public printing into iteown hands. If an end could be put to thia system of plunder by ia- | demnifying Mr. Ritchie, we would cheerfully en- dorse the report of the committee, and agree that Mr. Ritchie should be indemnified. He, however, ie im the hands of Congress, and will have to abide by the decision to which it may arrive. ] Another attempt was made yesterday by the Massachucetts Legislature, to elect a United | States Senator, but without success. On the first ballot, Mr. Sumner, the neminee of the coalition, lacked nine votes of being elected, which is a fall- jpg off of six. {f matters should remain in this | condition much longer, Mr. Sumner will be aban- | @oaed, and another candidate taken up in his | | stead. If that be done, there will not probably, be any election this session | In our own Legislature there isas much dout as ever hanging over the election of Hamilton Fish In the Senete, Mr. Schoonmaker introduced a bill to the effect that whenever the Legislature shal! have failed, for any reason, to elect a Senator on ‘the regular day, the Legislature shall, on the suc- ceeding Tuesday of February, or as soon thereafter ae practicable, meet in th embly chamber, and elect such Senator by joint ballot. When this bil ‘was introduced, Mr. Beekman, of this city, under- yook to define his position. Ia his epeech he took broad and comprehensive ground in favor of the | Union and the cone o, and availed himeelf o the opportunity thus presented to him to give his views of Sewardiam. He pledged himeelf that he would not falter in the course which he had marked out for himee He stood on the Clay and Web- | ster platiorm, and wa» not backward in telling the majority that their heart was unsound to the | nion, and that Se wardiom was hostil+ tothe beet interesta | of the country.

The intimation that Gen. Taylor was dis- | satisfied with the conduct of that officer, is eflective- ly disproved by the terms of the letter granting him | the specific leave of absence of three months, which he had asked for, and which were us fol- | lows :— Your conduct in the negotiation of the treaty with | Nicaragua, which was the great object of your mission, per — deny o> | approved by your ergy and zeal which you ba public seevice, and the state of your health, entitle you to the leave of absence which you bave asked tor. Mr. Squier wrote no letters “ reflecting ia bad taste,” nor in other way, upon the administration, until after his recall by Mr. Webster, in the latter part of September, and then only to express his con- viction that his recall was due to the influence and exertions of Sir Henry Bulwer. The project of em- ploying him in some other service would probably have depended very much upon his disposition to enter into any such service. That intimation was thrown out very adroitly by the Republic, when it was found inconvenient to have Central American | affairs brought too conspicuously before the people We suppose the public is adequately “up” to this The subject of British aggres- rione, and American supineness, cannot be kept out of sight by any attempt to get up personal issues Squier, or any other individual. An at, tempt is made to screen the British government from the responsibility of its own acts, by making Mr. Chatfield (who ects ia strict conformity with its order#) the scape goat of its sins.

This reduction, however, has not pleased the salt manufacturers at Syracuse, who, accordingly, pe- titioned the Canal Board, to put back the duty to | five mills. There is no earthly reason why the manufactu- | rere of salt in Syracuse should object to the reduc- tion of the tolls on foreign salt passing to the west by the way of the Erie canal. Their interests are not at all effected by the importation of foreiga salt. In the first place, it is so much more expensive than the article which they produce, that it does not come in competition with them, there being a duty of twenty per cent and upwards on the for- | eign article; and secondly, Syracuse salt cannot be used for the purposes to which foreign salt is ap plid, and for which itis imported. The.beef and pork of the west for exportation, and for the use of the army and navy, must be cured with for- eign salt, end not a pound less would be used if the toll was five mills per thousand pounds, instead of three. The only eflect of an increase of toly would be to compel importers to select some other route than the Erie canal, and this would deprive the State of the toll which is row paid. We are willing, however, that the salt manufac- turers at Syracuse should be heard on the subject.
