Piocere—Tux SenaTE oF THE UniTED STATES. —Thie body ef “most potent, grave and reverend seignors” are engaged in debating whether the law abolishing flogging in the naval and merchant ser- vice shall stand or shall bo repealed. Commodore Stockton led off the debate, some days ago, ina speech that was telegraphed to the associated press ofthis city, ata cost to it of aboat $200, which speech was not thought worth publishing by but one or two of the papers. We published it, with an inti mation that it was not worth, by $190, what it cost. If Congressional spouters want their ora- tions for Buncombe published in the New York papers, they ought to telegraph them at their own proper costs and oharges. The telegraphing a epeech is quite expensive to the papers here, and fow speeches are worth it. It eannot be expected | that the papers of this city will publish a speech im extenso, unless itis sent by telegraph, as, when received by mail through the Washington papers, or in pamphlet, it ig an eld story, and of little inte- rest to those who read the city papers. An epitome of a few lines is all that should be expected ofa | speech from Congress for the New York daily press, ‘Tux Foragst Case Arrroacnine a Crosz.—It wae expected, on Saturday last, that the evidence | Trovr Tus Granp Orgna Smason—Tue Rival .—To-night Max Maretzck opens the in this interminable ease—whieh has lasted four | Astor Place Opera House with his rival troupe, pre- weeks —would have b:en closed, and that the sum- | senting ‘‘La Favorita,” with the splendid Steffanone, ming up of counse! wou'd have been commenced to- | as the first step of the season.

The heavy fall of snow yesterday greatly inter- fered with telegraphic and railroad operations, and will amply account for the small amount of lato mows in this morning’s edition.

Morgan and Captain Leng, concerning the deportment of Kossuth while on board the steamer Mississippi. We are likewise anxious to keep pace with the movemente of the Magyar, and the progress of his imtervention doctrines throughout the country. It is necessary that our readers should be well posted up in all these matters, in order that they may form eorrect conclusions as to what will be the futuro policy of leading politicians, and the ultimate ro~ sults of the coming campaign for the Presidency. Kossuth, our State canals,and the Mormons, are ail prominent figures on the Presidential chess board. A deepatch from Bafialo announces that the lives two estimable citizens were lost by a fire in that ty, yesterday morning. Buffale has boen parti- ularly unfortunate, so far as regards fires, within he part few months; and several insurance com- panies have been compelled to suspend operations, n consequence of the enormous amount of property eonrumed.

Cass in the convention in Bal- timore. Not one of the guerriila candidates seems to have force enovgh of himself to contend against Gen. Cass beyond the limits of his own State; b still, we would not be at all surprised to see, by the time of the meeting of the bal tion, a complete union of the guerilla forces on some fecond or third choice, to an extent sufiiciont to upret Cages, if not Buchanan; and prebably the third choice may be Butler of Kentucky, or Pierce of New Hampehire. All, however, is yet uncer- tain. On this eubject the free soilers have not moved, beyond the appointment of a place at which to hold their convention, which is Pittsburg The day is not yet named, and the free soil and abvlition journals throughcut the North and Northwest, are busy in collecting public opinion and moulding pub- lic agitation on the Kinkel and Koseuth mania, while preparing their movemonts, ‘ihe whigs are very active under the rose.

Dr. Gwin, of California, next intimated bis intention to speak, but said he was net quite prepared, as he had not had the necessary documents from the Navy De- partment intime. Mr. Mallory, of Florida, next takes the floor, and he hag already consumed part of two cays, and threatens to occupy a third day. He is a new member, and a lawyer, and should be indulged a little; but three bouts is rather too many. John P. Hale, of New Hampshire, has an- nounced that he intends to hold forth in aid of | Commodore Stockton—all the three other speakers being opposed to him. A village debating society of youths preparing for Congress, could discuss it as well as any of them. All this debato is, perhaps, about as harmless and innocent an awusement as the Sonate of the United tates eould be employed in just now; but if they would contrive geome way to ‘ flog” the Indians in fornia, New Mexico, and Texas, and (wo: Billy Bowlegs yet bolds out) in Florida, it would be doing **the State some service.” We loarntho law of Russia authorizes the flogging ii e navy of that empire of all hands, from the admiral down to the loblolly boy, and that the punishment is inflist- ed for venial offences not deserving imprisonment or th. ‘The knoutis a favorite punishmentin Rus- the people “like it.” If the law of the United States is altered, it would be as well to adopt the Russian law; and if ite principles could be extended to other public servants—such as secretaries, comp trollers, auditors, commissioners, clerks, Senators, and Representatives—it would be ail the bettor. We are certain the people would “like” that. Whenever any one of them was detected in Gal- phanism, particularly, forty, save one, would do a power of good, well laidon. Laziness, or drunken- nees, or other sinail vices, electioneering for the Presidency, meking speeches fo~ Bancombe, or, to use the new phrase ** Koasuthing,” should be punish- ed by a round dozen. We are against flogging, unless all the public servants at Washington are included. It is to be hoped, particularly, that the Senate rules be altered, so that if any Senator of six weeks’ standing speaks more than twice on the same subject, and more than one hour cach time, he shall be brought tothe gang- way by the Sergeant at Arms, etripped to the buff, and have his catastrophe tickled with the cat-o’- nine tails; and fora second offence, have his grog stopped in addition. This would stop what Jack Tar calls, we believe, “extra lip,” of which there is @ superabandance in Congress. Some discipline shonid be adopted for both houses. Nothing has been done as yetin either, except intriguing about the Presidency, and “ Kossuthing.” Wasiincton’s Birtupay anp tur Kossuri ° | Movenenr.—The birthday of Washington, the il- + | Iustrious hero who led the revolutionary army to victory and freedom, and set an example of un- selish patriotism, conetancy, and fidelity to his coun try, which has never been equalled by any othor man whose name is emblazoned on the page of his- tory, will be celebrated with great pomp and cir- | cumstance on the 22d of February. Jt is to the firmness, unfailing courage, the talents, and, above all, to the wisdom of George Washing- ton, that this country mainly owes the achievement £ its independence from the grasp of the greatest tary and naval power in the world. him, in no small degree, we owe ibe security and the permanence of those free institutions which are the result of his victories. The Father of his Coun- try bequeathed, as his dying legacy to the United | States, his solemn advico not to interfere in the quarrels of European nations, but to keep minding our own business, consolidat'ng our power, and building up our prosperily, and thus influencing the countries of the Old World rather by the light of our example than by any active intervention in | their affairs. When the advice of Washington is despised or neglected by the people of this couatry, from any influence whatever, cither foreign or do, mestic, it will be a day of evil omen, foreboding the just so long as the great principles on which they are founded are preserved intact.

The conservative policy which the first President of the United States recommended, and by follow- ing which this country has attained to i unparalleled prosperity, is the very op posite of the pew doctrine introduced by the ex-Governor of Hungary. The struggle for the ascendancy by these two antagonistic principles is at hand. From the quarter that the idea of commemo- rating Washington’s birth day has emanated, aud from cther indications, it is evident that the forth- and check to the Kossuth excitement, and todo away with the effects of the agitation for intervention in foreign affairs. If, by means of this celebration, the Washington excitement only takes a right hold of the public mind, it will upset al other excite- ments, and, the people, thus restored to their right minds, will be themselves again. This or some | other spirit-stirring occasion that will evoke the latent patriotism of the country seems necessary to counteract the mania which has taken temporary possession of 80 large o number of all classes and parties in the community.

No one, without seei g the country papers, can ima- gine with what indignation they denounce all the journals ef New York which have published this evidence from dsy to day week to week. Many of these country pa- pers, which have no room to pablish theso never-ending details, conteut themselves with picking outsome of the richeet portions, and giving them to their pious country readers, as titbits of scandal and rascality, calculated to sirengthon their principles of virtue and purify their senti- mente of religion. We have no doubt thoy will succeed, to & great extent, in improving tho cause of country morals and village yiety, by denouncing and condemning the terrible Sodom and Gomor- rab-like profligacy of this Jargo and mighty city of humbug and barlotry. Yet the denunciations 1 oure? forth over the New York press, by our country cotemporaries, should be lees indiscriminate. Al! are involved, without all being equally guilty. It is truo, thero is no neces- sity for us to make any excuse for the gront Sata- nic press of this metro, oli:—wo mean the New York Herraup. It has long been denounced as a sink of wickedness and villany, the organ of every (hing that is bad, the agent of Mephisto- philee, if not Mephistophile himself with his cloven feet, horns, and eve lasting ‘eng tail of fire. In fact, one of the principal personages connected with this trial—Mrs. Forrest—denounces the {/kxatp in an eloquent letter, with great force, nd probably with equal justice, as utterly incapable of comprehending the virtues of socialism, or the purity of l’ourierism or Willisism. We make no apologies for that wicked, unprincipled, atrocious, villanous, Satanic New York Herap; but we do beg ef our country co- temporaries to have some pity on the saints of the Tribune, the innocent boys of the Times, the honest Piainfield financiers of the Sin, and those candidates for the best officesin Washington, orthe highest seats in heaven, who control the Express, and have man- aged to give their inanity, which they have here- tofore put forth in every form and shape on a cuifer- ing world, some variety even in the Forrest eviderce. Our country cotemporaries, with their immense stock of pety and virtue, ought to ex- tend a little compassion to these journals, which have published all the villanous evidence in the Forrest cage, and spread it before their pious read ers and socialist subscribers, because it was neces sary for tho filling of their own pockota, at the camo time that they were endeavoring to help on the cause of the world’s progress in one way or another. The pollated and polluting evidence given on th trial, and publichedin the Times, Tribune, Sun and £xpress, as well as other highly respectable moral and religious journals of this city, brings tha pennies into the pookets of the proprietors, as wel s helps the cause of social progress in the New World; and therefore they are excused We trust, therefore, that these views will si deeply into the minds of our country cotemporaries, and that they wll make a proper distinction bo tween the Satanic press, called the Henacop, ia pub- lishing these details, when compared with the vir- | tuous intentions and private jobs of the other re epectable journals.

We have now two companies—rivals to each other—both combining great talont, though different in kind, The rivalry of these troupes may tend to create a considerable sensation in the public mind, not only of the fow who have hitherto called themselves ‘fashionablo,” and frequented the Ope- ra, but of the vast body beyond their circle, of pinched up respectability—the wealthy people of this city—who can afford to go to the Opera as well as the Astor Place Opera House subseribera, though they make not great pretensions to fashion and fooleries. . ‘This Opera season, commencing with to-night, will therefore be avery marked one in the operatic avnalsof Now York. Butit will bo a great struggi® between the two companies, in more ways than one. Already, we understand, law suits have been ii stitated respectively egainst eech other, for broach of contracts, or for mouey due.

HEAVY FALL OF sNOW. ‘Yesterday morning was ushered in bye heavy mow- storm, which continued unabated the whole day, and ‘even upto a late hour last night. During this space of time there fell an immense quantity of snow, which, in consequence of the bitter frost and the stiff breeze that prevailed at the time, was drifted about in every direc- tion, forming deep wreaths in some places, and leaving others perfectly bare. In consequence of the snow being blown irom the roors of the houses and drifted from olf the streets, it wae with the utmost difficulty that peder- trians could proceed on their way, and it was sometimes impossible to fece the wind; for the thick clouds of snow that had to be encountered, were almost suffocating. Already there has fallen such an extraordinary uantity of snow, thet we may safely assert there has not been tuch snother enow siorm for nearly twenty years past. ‘The average depth of the snow yesterday evening was from five to #x inches, and if it continues snowing ali night, have no doubt, it will be @ foot deep. Op some places there were wreaths some three or four feet deep, while on others the quantity was not more than common, This unusual snow storm will afford am excellent prospect of amusement to all those who delight in seeing our streets enlivened with the tinkling of the merry sleigh bells Even yesterday evening we observed several sleighs pass along; but, of course, they | were few, owing to the reverity of the storm. To-day, however, if it should clear up, there will be no end to tleighing. Bleighs cf every medel of construction will be constantly flitting bia the streets aud avenues, at an extraordivary rate, The omnibus proprietors, for whem it was alucky ciroumstance that the storm oc- curred on Sundsy—thereby epabling them to make the | necessary preparations-—will exchange their atages for their huge sleighe, drawn by from four to six horses. and we safely predict that there wall be no lack of patroasre aslong as the snow wiillast. When we come to consider the state of the weather since the counmenceiment of win- ter, we find that, in a great measure, it corresponds;with that of the winters twenty yearns ago. 16 will be remem: bered that even the month of last November was unurually cold, and that in the middle of Decem- ber, the thermometer stoed lower than has been the cate for many years past. During the last two months we have also had an unusual number of scorme, and unpreoedentecly sudden changes in the etate of the atmcrphere, During the last two weeks we had all pos: ilions from heat to cold und from cold to heat We bad a mixture of evow, sleet, hail rain, frost, and sunshine, and eometimes have experienced all these metecrelogical changes in the course of a day. The severe cold, however, together with the extraordinary fall of snow this winter, may be looked upon as prozaos tieating @ beautiful sunny spring time. For mrny years pust we hage had fine weather in November, and some- Umeseven in December; aud we say we Lave had winter lengthened into sprirg. ‘The state of the weather, therefore, bas been entirely out of season, and, finding this winter on unusual degree of ‘cold, etd an unusual quantity of ice end snow, we judge that the weather in the coming spring will be c/a more genial character than it has been for years pert.
