Both branc1es ot Congress are now fairly at work upon the sub ject of our relations with foreiga countries, and before the close of the ses:ion the external policy of the United Statea will, in all probability, be promuigated by the representatives of the people in terms that cannot be misunderstood or admit of equivocation. Nothing will de, short of the re- asrertion and enforcement of the Monroe doctrine; ard with the view of carrying out this object, Gen Cues yesterday introduced into the Senate a joint resolution, which was ordered to be printed, declaring that no part of the American oonti- newt is to be henceforth considered as open to colonization by any European power, and that if apy ett«mpt of the kind shall be made, this gov- errment will feel itself free to adopt measures neceessry for the maintenance of its national honor. The retolution disclaims any design on Cuba in- conristent with the present rights of Spain; but should any other power undertake to obtain porses- sion of the island, either by force or treaty, the movement will be looked upon as an unfriendly act towards the United Statez, and one that will be resisted by force. The necersity of the adoption of some measure of this kind was most like'y rendored apparent by the reply of th e Executive t> the reso lution of Gen. Cass, asking for information con- | cerning. the acquisition of territory by Croat Britain in Central America, a synopsis of which will be found in the despatch from our especial correspondent.

The stated monthly meeting, last evening, of the New Yerk Historical Society was of a highly in- teresting character. Our report of the proceedings, thocflicers and committees were made, showing the prosperous condition of the society. Mr. Edwin Wil- lame. chairman of the select committee on an indox and chronology of American newspapers, made a report, proposing an Index Association, of 200 subscribers, at $50 each, to carry out tho former proposition of Mr. Williams. This proposition was adopted by the goceptance of the report, and the the Othonian College, at Athens, read a highly interesting paper on the late discoveries and resto- rations of the Acrepolis at Athens. The reading of the paper was interspersed with incidental remarks, in a high style of eloquence, by the distinguished professor, whois a rare specimen of Ssandinavian genius. The lecture was illustrated by many fine | drawings of the architectural beauties of Athens. Tho extremely crowded state of our solumnsrenders | it imporsible to make room for many local reports, and much other interesting reading, which we havo in type, among which is the leoture of Rov. Mr. Giles at the Brooklyn Institute, theatrical notices, court proceedings, &c Meeting of the Legislature—Important Put. Nc Docaments, We have received three very important Stato documents from Albany, which wore submitted yes- terday to the Legislature. The first is the Governor's message; the second is the annual report of the Comptroller, which is » very able and elaborate paper, ard is of the highest moment in relation to the finances of the Btate. The third is the report of the Superiotendent of Schools. These documenst we publish to-day at length. It appsars from the school report, that the num- ber cf obildren attending sohool during the year is $32,481, thus leaving in the echool districts 268,132, between the ages of fourandtwenty-one years, who did not attend. The number of unincor porated, select and private schools, was 1,172, and the aversge number of pupils attend- ing them 31,767. The Superintendent reports that, owing to the dissensions, and agitations, and muta- tions that have been made in the education laws, “the schools have deteriorated during tho rapid teems to be of opinion that what is most needed at Present is repose, until a further developed expe- for such permanent alterations as shail fix the sshaol systom upan & basis not to be disturbed in the fu- ture.

The observations of the Superintendent apon academies and colieges are well desorving of atven- tion.
