Mr. Witson, (opp.) of Mass., said the closing hours of the Thirty-fourth Congress were devoted to efurta to do- jplote the treasury, and they were now, at the commence- meatof the Thirty-fifth, trying to fill the treasury, which ‘was now empty. He called attention to some facts con- nected with the expenditures of the government. He “thought Congress should revise the tariff so as to restore -the duties on iron, cetton and woollen goods to where ‘they were by the tariff of '46. That would increase the xovonues of the country something like two millions of dollars, and thus afford some relicf. Ho would vote for ‘the issue of ten millions in treasury notes, under the cir. cumstances, but not for twenty. enough, and it would be necessary to pass another bill next year, providing for more. It had better ‘de done now, ail at ouce. ‘Mr. Wusow replied he should not be surprised if over twenty millions was asked for before the close of the session, owing to over estimates of receipts and the large amounts recommended for expenditure in the War and ‘Navy departments. Mr. ‘Bensamiy, (adm.) of La., said Congress authorized ‘the debts to be incurred, and therefore ought to provide means for their payment, instead of charging the adminis- ‘tration with extravagance. attributed the revulsion Mr. Sewaxn, (opp.) of N. ¥. to over importation and the diversion of capital from ita ie banks to ordinary channels. He did not believe blame. Mr. Davis, (adm.) of Miss., advocated the bill as a sim- ple proposition to borrow money to meet the wants of the government, and thought the executive was responsible for the proper application of the money. Instead of a bb ag tariff he preferred free trade, as far as was prac- ‘ticable. Mr. Dixon, (opp) of Conn., spoke in favor of the protec- tion of American industry ag the best means of restoring confidence, reviving trade and replenishing the treasury. Mr. Covuamer, (opp.) of Vt., 0] the bill, and took occasion to remark that with ¢ boasting of the sub- treasury system and hard money currency, when the pressure came the whole bottom was knocked out, and application was then made for the issue of irredeemable paper. Why not honestly borrow hard money and pay interest for it, with which to pay the debts of the govern- v Mr. Howrsa defended the sub-treasury system. It was established in order that the government should not be embarrassed by bank suspensions in the management of its finances. ‘Treasury notes were the cl ( mode in which money can be borfowed, and would not, as was o , be forced on the people ‘to the exclusion of gold and silver, in the payment of debts. At four o'clock an unsuoceestil 1 sootion was wade So adjourn—a majority seeming determined to pass ill before an adjournment. Mr. Trumsutt, (opp.) of Ill., proceeded to show the ex- travagance of this as well as the preceding administration, saying it now wants to spend seventy millions of dollars within the next six months. No necessity for raising twen- ty millions has been shown. Mr. Pua, (adm.) of Ohio, opposed the Dill, regarding it as @ strange proposition to’ come from the democratic side of the houge to issuetwenty millions of shinplasters. He wasf howevor, willing to vote for it if it could be re- duced #0 a8 to provide only for raising so much money as ‘was immediately wanted. He wished to prevent the cir- culation of these notes as bank notes. The bil was amended, limiting the operations of the act ‘until the Ist of January, 1859, and prohibiting notes of a lesa cmetinnien sy ne dollars, and it thea «passed by 31 against 18, as follows:— ¥ wc ele Allen, Bayard, Benjamin, ‘Bas—I Bigga.

The House resumed the consideration of Mr. Bennett's resolution providing for the appointment of a special committee to take into consideration all papers on the sub- ject of a railroad to the Pacific. Mr. Barxapatx, (adm.) of Miss., made an unsuccessful motion to table the resolution; the vote was 84 to 99. + Several incidental questions were determined by yea and nay votes. ‘Mr. Frorunce, (adm.) of Pa., aaid that the House had evidence that no good came of sitting on Saturday. Ho thon made an ineffectual motion to adjourn. ‘The subject was passed over, and the House went into committee on THE TREASURY NOTE DILL. Mr. Guaxcy Jowgs, (adm.) of Pa., explained the provi- sions of tho bill, which he sald were similar to those here- tofore passed under both democratic and whig adminis- trations. He would endeavor to get @ vote upon it to-day. Mr. Rrranx, (opp.) of Pa., called attention to the fact that there are two sets of demccrats, one theoretical, who will have nothing but gold aud silver, and the other practical, who will have anything they cau get, and now ask for treasury notes. Mr. Baxks, fovr.) of Massachusetts, remarked that statesmen at all! times had asserted that the resort to treasury notes was of doubful expediency and dan. gerous in principle, and should never be adopted if any other measure of relief could be obtained. It is not true government cannot obtain relief except through treasury notea. There never was a period at which @ loan could be effected, either for large or small sums, for a short or a loug time, better than now, as the bone § is richer than it ever has been before. He wished the bill amended, authorizing the issue of treasury notes only in case it shall be found impracticable to effect a loan on government stock bearing six per cent interest, the ag- gregate sum borrowed not to exceed twenty millions. Cir- cumstances are different now from those when the ad bill of 1846 was passed. There was then a war with jexico. Mr. Conn, (adm.) of Ala., (interrupting) remarked that there was a prospect of war with the Mormons. Mr. Banks replied that there was here a representative from Utah, with the same standing that Mr. Cobb has, and therefore it could not be said that we are at war with Utah; but there was a ‘k of war in another direction, {iaughter) from which the administraggm could not be re? Deved by the issue of treasury notoa, Mr. Mitisoy, (adm.) of Va, areugibet Congress ought to prefer to supply the public nedasities by treasury notes, rather than by loans for a long period. re may be no necessity for resorting toa loan; but at this time, when threatened by a deficiency in the revenue, it is im portant that tbe public credit should be maintained. Mr. Bisnor, (adm.) of Conn., supported the bill, on the ground that the potes would go into circulation and be used as # medium of exchange. It would meet the neces. sities of government and benefit the business of the coun- try, which is not in as prosperous a condition as the banks described. It may be true that there is more money than ever in the country, but it is not available, and he (Mr. Bishop) would be giad if the gentleman from Massacha- setts would point out where it may be found, Mr. Davis, (opp.) of Md., opposed the bill. Thore was no period fixed when the Botes can be presented for re demption, and oF would therefore continue in circula- tion as irredeemable currency based on the faith of the wernment. The striking down of banks in tho country ing recommended in the President's message, it may bo that the issue of twenty millions of treasury notes is de- signed to fill a void—tho dominant party mean to make = substitute the paper of the treasury for the paper of e banks. The committees then rose and the House adjourned. ‘The Minnesota Election, Prarem vv Cums, Wis., Deo. 19, 1967.

Anita or «4 New Prima Dotwwa—Among tho pas. sengers by the Canada at Boston, we notice the name of Madame Caradori, who is an admirable singer in Italian, German and English—in opera, concert and oratorios, She is engaged by Mr. Uliman, and will sbortly make ber début at the Academy Haydn borrowed afow ideas from dramatic music, but Preserved by the solidity of the harmony some resem- Dlance to the fine and solemn airs of the ancient school, sustaining them by the richness of his orchestra, melo dies, solemn, tender, and al the same time dignified aud brilliant; be even permitted in his sacred airs occasional graces and ornaments which happily relieve, from time to time, the general loftiness of his atyio. The “Creation’’ broathes throughout the pure religious fervor of the composer. “Whon I was working at it,” said Haydn, “T felt myself 60 penetrated with religion that before T sat down to my piano I prayed conddently to God to give me the talent to praise him worthily.’? dike the earlier Italian oratorios, the ‘“Crention’”’ ts a spe- cies of sacred drama, an improvement upon the Laudt Spirituali, sacred songs aud dialogues sung by the priests in tho placo of prayer. The Biblical history of the “Creation’’ is described in a series of solos, duos, trios and choruses. The first part is a description of the be- ginning, when “God created the hoavens and earth;” it contains the celebrated soprano air “With Verdure: iad,” the bass solo “Rolling in Foaming Dillows’? and the grand trio and chorus ‘In all the lands resounds the word,” and “The Heavens are tolling the glory of God.” In the second part the description of the creation. of the birds is given in the soprano solo, “On mighty ‘wings the eagle soars,”’ and the creation of maa inthe tenor air, “ln Native Worth,’ ending with a trio for the tenor, soprano and bass, and the great chorus ‘Achieved is the glorious work.’ ‘The third part is devoted to duets between Adam and Eve, the best of which is “By theo with bliss,” admirably expressive of the happiness of our first parents, and the oratorio closes with a chorus which. consists of an andante movement in plain counterpoint, followed by & noble fugue, ‘This oratorio was given atthe Academy of Musio last evening by the New York Harmonic Society and the prin- cipal singers of the Academy. The soprano si Mme. De La Grange and Miss Milner—the , Mr. Forbes, and the tenor, Mr. Perring. The large and off: cient chorus of the Society was directed by Mr. Bristow, and the orchestra was conducted by Mr. Anschutz. No oratorio performance has ever been given here with sueh éclat, and the audience was fully equal te the ‘occasion. The house was crowded in every part, at Opera prices. Many of the most eloquent divines in the city lent their aid to the affair, and appeared in the house. religious commu: nity came out in force, and almost every musician and amateur of note in the city was present. "The stago was replaced by an elevated piatform, upon witch the solo singers, chorus and orchestra appeared; and the arrange- ments throughout were exactly like thoso for the great musical eolemnities at Exeter Hall, London—the solo singers and conductor of the orchestra; behind them on either side the female choristers; in the rear, the men; and in the centre, the orchestra, with the organ at the back. The ensemble was an agreeablo one. Tho oratorio ‘was well performed. Mr. Formes, Miss Milner and Mr. Perring—who are oratorio singers by | gery roe guished themselves greatly. Miss Milner sang her ices de résistance, “With Verdure Clad’ and “On } ighty Wings,’’ admirably. Mr. Perring added some- | what to the already favorable impression he has | made here. He has @ sweet voice and good com- pass—phrases carefully and enunciates with commend. | able clearness. The same admirable qualities wore | noticable in the singing of Mr. Formes, who, although he | bad not quite recovered from the effects of bis recent ill eas, Fung even better than in the Opera, and carried off a larger part of the honors of the night. Mme. de la Grange was i good voice, and sung as wel! as ever, which is | very well indeed. The choruses were quite well ex- | eculed—the ouly fault perceptible being the usual one in @ very large body of amateur siugers—the time taken a little too fast or tao slow. The orchestra was very good, and ‘Anschutz quite in his element. ‘Thea Musical, de.

The: lease of the Union Company expired just before that time, and notwithstand- ing an ordinance was passed seme months since requiring (he removal of the incumbrances, the: buildings, racks and spiles still remain, thus depriving the city of one of fhe most valuable slips on the Kastriver, Oa the New York side there is no ferry between Catharine and Grand btreete, a distance of overa mile. Persons.residing mid- ‘way botwoen those points now find it most convenient for ' them to hire boats to take them across, There ts also an ordinance, we believe, directing the Comptroller to put up the Jackson street slip at auction for ferry privitoges, and why it has not been done we are at a loss te conjectare. For years the Jackson and Gouveneur strect ferries, in Point of Convenience, were found to be indispensable, and how that the demand for accommodation has largely in- creased and kept pace with the commercial growth of the eastern side of the city, the reasons for depriving the eiti- zens of that section of their rights in respect we leave to the Union Ferry Company and the city authori- ties to make apparent. The fault does not seem to lie ‘with the Common Council, for they have given the meces- sary authority for the re-establishment of the forry; but thoxe whose duty it is to carry out the requirements of the ordipances seem to be top mach absorbed in other mat- ters to attend to the wants aad necessities of our citizens. ‘Some inquiry should be instituted, to tho ond that the Public may be — informed upon tho subject, and to enable them to attach the blame where it properly belongs.
