, | — * during the present week form a tolerably fair orite- tien by which a judgment may be formed of what bas boon done since Congress met on the sixth of last month—literally nothing ; and, from appear- ances, it is the epinion of those.who are wel! in- formed on the subject, that the intention is to throw business very gererally overboard, with a view of having an extra session called under the incoming administration. The attention of the House was for the most part @ccupied with a resolution, introduced by Mr. Har- ris, of Tenneseee, authorizing the reception of re ports from committees, as to which there would be Bo objection, and which would not create debate ; aud the proposition was evidently of so advantageous & bature, if the object of membersis to transact the business of the country, that any reasonable man ‘Would conclude that it would be instantly adopted. | ertheless, it was objected to, and it was neces | sary to have a two-thirds vote in tavor of suspend- | ing the rules befere the rerolation could be taken up | This was on Monday, and the proposition having been fairly launched in the House, a sort of running discussion followed, and, whenever it was practica- ble, the yeas and nays were taken, which is the | mest approved mode of passing the time when mem- bers intend to do nething, and by which 3 whole may be frittered away jut there is an- other, which is nearly as effective, and which was Successfully resorted to on the present Occasion: | mbers refusing to vote in order that there might | Bo quorum voting. Consequently, when every ether attempt co post) the decision of the ques- | tion had 1d, and the motion to 1s | the resolution | on the table put, and tellers been appoint- ed, the Spe would announce that'there was no | querum voting. Then the rol! would be called, and it Would be fourd that there was a quorum nt. With the a consent of the eer the | Speaker would ag: appoint tellers, ‘gentlemen | would again piss through the telle: sgain there would be found no quorum vot- | ing, the House being very much im the humor of the horse, which ome man may take to water, | but » hundred cannot make him drink. Afcer this | farce had gone on, during Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, till near three o'clock, some momber | would move the adjournment ; if this motion, how | ever, were made rather early, the yeas and nays | would be called, which generally occupies near! half an hour, ard then the House would adjourn. This was pretty much the course of proceedi: until Thuredsy morning, whon Messrs. Stanly, o: North Carolina, and Smart, of Meine, got up an in- | terlude. in conse:uence of the publication of a speech in the Globe, latter gentleman, which he had not deliver: of which, probably, there would | e been no complaint, had he not reflected in se- re terms on the inert course of the government, which I have frequently seen condemned in the HBRsLD, reepecting the infringement of rights of Awerican civzens; and which terminated in the aseage of @ resolution prohibiting the reporters Fom offending in the lik@ caze in future. lt sppears to me the practice of writing out speeches, and reading them in the House, is equally x prehemsible, which, while it prevails, robs dobsta Of ite spiciness ; and I perfec:ly agree with Mr Ri- | chardson, of Hlinois, who thought rk speeches to tke Globe, for publication, withont delivering | them, would be an immense wpe of time—parti- cularly as thoy are gererally irrelovant to the sub- j-otin band But the great defect and difficulty in transacting | bosinesa in the House is caused by the abeurd rules that are in force, which prescribe a certain routine of proceedings that must be auapended before even the most importan; and urgent measure can be in- troduced, and which may be prevented by any in- | dividual member whoce opposition is effectual, wxlers two-thirds of those present vote to suspend | the rules. Jt was in this way that the resolution from the Benate, bestowing the brevet rank of | Lieut.-General upon Major General Scott, was post- | poned indefinitely, although s majority voted forts | comtideration. | This morning was wet and the walking disagree- | able; but about eleven o'clock the san shone out, | which enabled those who were so dispoeed—and who | was pot—to make numerous calls, the practice on | New Year's day in New York, evidently hae on the inorease bh About twelve, the corps diplo | matique, in fuil feather, went t pay their respects to the President; and a continual stream of all | ciasees might be seen enterivg and pouring forth | from the White House, till late in the day, where a | band was in attendance, “‘discoursing the music of | sweet sounis” There was a marked difference, | however, between this and Christmas diy, when | acarcely a sober person was to be seen in the streets, | there being to-day a complete absence of intoxica- tion, notwiths‘anding there was a profusion of in- dneements spread before thoee who went to pay their respect to official characters. who threw open the doors of their hospitable mansions.

After a great | deal of what is called mild, i. ¢. villanous weather, | 1£52 went out in wrath, amid clouds and gloom, | and 1868 came shivering into time with all its trou- | Dies typified by the character of its advent. We can, | however, justly complain of but little in the year that has gore te “‘the death, like sea of bygone time.” To New England it wasa very good year, end with as little evil in its course any twelve months that have been known since the landing of the Pilgrims. We were never more prosperous than | at this time, and never had more cause to be thank- ful, or to pray against change To be sure, every mon is not having his own way in everything; but but that is what always happens, and always will | happen, But taking the averages, the man who would grumble now would find fault «ven if he were translated. His opinion would mot be worth | having on any subject, for he would be found suifer- ing under a sort of moral jaundice. We have to add to the list of New ingland’s emi- gent dead of 1852 the name of Amos Lawrence, one of our most distinguished citizens. Mr. Lavrence died last Thureday, at the age of 77. He was a su- ocrior man, and had he chi®sen to direct his atten- sion to the law, or polities, or literature, he would save been snoceseful, and have made a name; but be was emphatically a ‘‘ business man,” and one of the most successful that this country ever had. He was the real crestor of the wealth and influence of the Lawrence family, and was in most respects a much superior man to his better known brother, Mr. | Abbott Lawrence. His early operations, forty ears ago, We.e ne much characterized by daring as is later ones were by sagacity and caution He ‘was over successful, and deserved to be, for he was 2 good man, whose mind and heart expanded under | the sun of prowperity. No person can be named with him among Bostonians tor acts of comprehen- | sive and well-directed benevolence.

I haveit fromthe best authority, that General Pierce has said that he shall not appoint any wan from New England to a cabinet office. 1 think the loss will be his own, for, apart from the fact that General Cushing cannot be | a seeker for the web ens get joations for | 7 high office are not surpassed statesmen. The eubject of office seeking is rarely mentioned here, and no one knows who are to hold the big places any more than was known six months ago. | Occasionally, a gentleman will get a political friend by the button, and eet forth his own extraordinary | merits, and bis wonderful capacity for discharging | the duties of some fat 0, but he en! ta laughed at for his pains. ie mee According to the Daily Advertiser, Mr. Everett’ organ, so far as he has one here, that gentleman’s hase of a house at Washingten means only that { 2 COuIa Ia ches ue Ofte at the capital, and | has no reference whatever to his on the | Senatorship. This is all very likely to be true; but it is nevertheless quite as true that Mr. Everett is | after the Senatorship, and would not be mortally | offended if he were c! to succeed Gov. Davis. Mr. Wintbrop’s friends are moving in behalf of their vorite with great determination, and, altogether, the Senatorial question has assumed a squally look | for the whigs, and it may so hsppen that the whig who shall get the place will owe his good fortune to | the support of some of the coslitionists. It is said | that Mr Sumneris anxious to have Governor Brigga for his colleague, and is urging the free ool ae | a very “‘artful dodge” on the part of our Corinthian Senator. He wishes to have athird rate man for a colleague, so that his own consequence may be in- creased, (it will bear much increasing, certainly, without becoming great,) and he hates Winthrop, which sentiment the latter, “being a good Chris tian, and vindictive,” cordially reciprovates. Mr. Everett is pretty much such another man as him- | self, and two men who resemble one another are rarely friends. All this may lead to Mr. Ashmun’s | success; for if the free soilers should be such asses aato listen to Mr. Sumner’s advice, and support | Governor Briggs, not a few of the democratic moem- bers of the Legislature would probably support the Hampden gentleman But it is something more than will be treated with contempt by the free soilers. No man has sunk so rapidly and so deeply in the estimation of his aby, as Mr. Sumner Mr Van Burea, in 1843, did not rank | lower with democrats than Mr Sumner now does with free soilers Mr Summer belongs, not to the American, but to the Eoglish sobool of publis men. He cares for felis opipion, not for that of the | United States. lis opposition to slavery isa senti- ment borrowed from English statesmen and sc! ideas on politics are almost entirely English, and | hence the distance he maintains between himself and his party. He is rather s member of the House of Commons than of the United States Senate. An article in a late number of the Concord | (N_ B.) Patriot is supposed to indicate that oppo- sition to Gen. Pierce's administration will prozseed from a certain set of men in New Hampshire. Our Legislature will meet on Wednesday next. There seems to be little doubt of Mr. Warren, of Soffolk, being chosen President of the Senate, where the whigs have two majority, Mr Kcowlton will probably be the coalition candidate, though it is notcertain. It may be thought policy, by way of “compliment,” to vote for some one else, secing that a whig must be chosen, barring accidents 1t | is supposed that the whigs will restore the old clerk | of the Senate, Charles oun, who isa sort of | sore-heated bear, alway: his hind legs, and ever In the House, opinions are divided as to | the speakersbip, in the dominant party. Mr. Ste- | yenron, of Boston, is spoken of, ana certainly is | best qualified for the office; but then he is from the | same place as Mr. Warren, and it is thought it would not do to give both offices to Boston men. Mr. Lord, of Salem, is the most prominent candi- date just now, and it is thought he will be the un- | lucky fellow upon whom the choice of the Heuse will fall. He has a most unhappy temper, and it is ex- pected that he will afford the House a good deal of sport by quarreling with it. A third nominee is Mr.” Bliss, of Geo eer whe is better qualified than Mr. Lord. ore are several worth three thousand dollars a most prominent of these is Colonel editor of the Atlas, who is sinking the pr fession by thus seeking an office, which makes mo doubt his eupport of Scott having been based en patriotism alone. There may be more difficulty i etting a few of the Webster whigas to vote for him. r Pardy, ex editor of the Mazi, is alsa after the clerkship.

The Cincinnati A‘/as has been informed that the Jeffersonville Railroad, which connects with the Madison at Columbus, has suffered severely in the wholesale destruction of track and bridges. We hear of an accident to a freight train going out on Friday from Indianapolis towards Lafayette, the whole train rupnirg into Sand creek, after the bridge had been waehed away, and all on board, five in number, drowned. The recent freshet has destroyed about a half mile of the Jeffersonville and Columbus Railroad in the neighborbocd of Rockford The trains are conse- quently prevented from making their regular trips.
