Gextlemf.n : Presuming that the numerous readers of the Sentinel fee! lined interest in what is now transpiring at the cipital, I s?t down to give you a "hasty" sketch of the doings of Congress. A b,11 to mod.fy and change tlie odious and oppressive tariff act of 1J42 has passed the House by a majority of 19 votes, and Will be taken op for discussion, in the Senate on to-morrow. Tlie vote in the St-nate will be a close and somewhat uncertain one. The passage of the

bill will, in my opinion, dopend upon the rote of the ' Vice President. Tlie IVnn.-n Ivania Senators with a slight mxhtication, will vote lor the bill. This modification may be made. Humor says that Berrien , of Georgia, Mangum of North Carolina, ar.d Jama-! gin of Tennessee, Whig Senator?, (the last of whom ; is instructed,) will vote for the modification ; but I ; am "of little faith." Thev may do so if their votes

.are not necessary to defeat the measure, semple ut its appearance, and the materials of which it is formed.

But he is not the man to lay down his arms, at one defeat. There are other great measures to be found in the Democratic creed. When they come up for action, Senator Hanncgan's vote will always be iounJ on the right side. The taritf bill as it passed the House, in the main, is a good one. It is framed upon correct principles. The odious features of specific duties, which levies the tax without regard to tlie price of the commodity, and the still more objectionable principle of minimum?, which is nothing Jess than false valuations, have been totally abolished,

It is strictly a revenue measure. The duties havethc precious object of Iiis care became an object of been levied with an eye single to the wants of the ( idle curiosity in the hands ofliis enemy.

Among the banners captured by Gen. Taylor at Itesaca ds la Palma, is one bearing the inscription BATALLON GUAKU.4. COSTA PE TAMPICO. This magnificent and torn fa", (says the N. 0. Tropic,) apart from its associations, is remarkable for to play over the brilliant floss silk needlework, as brilliantly as if it had been the plumage of the bird itself. . . That flag, in the battle of the Tab Alto was torn by our cannon shot, and now bears upon its folds the shattered shred thus rudely made; at the Resaca dc la Talma it waved over the bravest troops, and fluated in tlie wind ts long a- its regiment lasted before the terrible fire of our arms. When all was lost, its bearer tore il from it3 staff and fled, to save it from the stain of capture. Such, however, was not to be its fortune. The brave mnn was met by one of our own troops, and hand to hand. they fought tor the prize, the Mexican nerved by every feeling of patriotism, the American by every sentiment of a soldier's ambition. The brave standard-bearer bit the dust, and Naval.

Tho New Orleans Delta has a notice of an agreeable reunion in the ladies' parlor of the St. Charles Hotel, at which the gallant Col. Tayne, of the U. S. Army, and the Mexican prisoner, Gen. Vega, met for the first time since the battles of the 8:h and Ihn M ly. The Delta says : "The meeting between these two brave soldiers was one of cordial greeting, and a kindly interchange of compliments. Tlie General expressed his regret to the Colonel at seeing that he was wounded, and indulged the hope that he would shortly recover from the effects of it. The Colonel thanked him for his sympathy, and congratulated him in having escaped a similar infliction: he trusted that he would find his residence in the United States as agreeable ascircum. Army, and by the citizens of the United States." Tlie pleasure of this friendly greeting was greatly enhanced by the presence and approving smiles of a numerous assemblage of ladies, invited by Mrs. Gen. Gaines. Item3 fko:j the Camp. A correspondent of the Concordia (La.) Intelligencer relates the following : Provisions are enormously high, and the sutlers absolutely coining money. In exemplification, I will mention the market price of several articles, viz : Whiskey, 1 per gallon ; sugar, 20c per lb; claret, S3 per dozen, &,c. " The traflicking Mexicans, who honor us with their presence daily, will not take a bank note under any consideration, and American gold and even silver over a dime, is at a discount of twenty per cent. They are s:ngular characters, I could have made fifty dollars within tho last week, if I had had dimes sufficient to change the coin in passing to and fro. They are not one sided, though, in their transactions, for they are perfectly willing to give our money at the same rate at which they take it." A Cowardly Scamp in the Camp at Matamokas. A damsel, scarcely sixteen, and very handsome, not having the fear of the Mexicans before her eyes, and instigated by lote for a Louisiana volunteer, disguised herself in men's clothes, and followed her true lover to the wars : but on arriving at camp and discovering herself, to him, instead of being received with open arms by her lover, and cherished for this convincing proof of attachment, he absolutely cave I her a confounded licking, whereupon she fled for protection to tue lent ot Uaptain Hutty, and the Cap- . ......

The Rattles on the Rro Gkaxde. A passenger who arrived in the last steamer from England, state that every man he met," English as well as American, manifested a decided pleasure on hearing the news of Gen. Taylor's victories. The sensation was much greater in consequence of the previous accounts, which represented him as cut off from bis supplies by an overwhelming force, and without provisions to sustain himself u:ltil reinforcements could arrive. The liberal manner in which the London Times spoke of him and his achievements, we hive already noticed. The following is Prom the Morning Chronicle. "XU aJmirari. Such is the motto "of Great Eritain in respect to the great deeds of America. '."She' views them coldly, quietly, and without either wonder or emotion.

Let those who thiuk lightly of Americrn courage attribute the successes in question to tho weakness of their enemy, rather than to tho val.-.r of their conquerors. We reject the alternative. America won the fight through her own inherent heroism. The cause was gained, by the strength of the one rather than by the weakness of the other. . Such is the fact a fact probably admitted through the whole length and breadth of Great Britain; by the Gael and Welshman, as well as tlie consanguinrou3 Anglo-Saxon." From the Liverpool Mercury. 1.. Our American decendants have not "fallen from the mettle of their pasture." Their Sixon blood has proved its proud superiority to that which crawls through the veins of the mixed race of Mexico. Their courage has not been less conspicuous than their power of thew and muscle. Under disadvantageous circumstances of military position, and with a force amounting to only one-third of that of the enemy, they have obtained a victory over men who will shine most in a purely defensive warfare, in which local peculiarities and physical obstacles to aggression will aid in preserving the independence of the country, if such be the popular will. We devoutly trust that the heroism and generalship of General Taylor may not inoculate his fellow-citizens with the epidemic love of glory. A small success of this kind is too apt to impart to a people an itch for playing at soldiers; and, because they have routed a rabble of undisciplined adventurers, among whom a colonel that can write is a distinguished man, to induce in thorn the impression that they can beat every body, and a longing to try the experiment. - It is also not impossible that success may tempt tho Americans to enlarge their present ground of quarrel against Mexico, and to convert a mere vindication of their position, into a war of conquest and aggrandisement. Any proceeding ofthat kind, would not, we suspect, find, in England or in France, an unconcerned spectator; and we can only express our earnest hope, that nothing arising out of the position of Mexico may transpire to interfere with ! the friendly tone of moderation which on both sides' of the Atlantic has been so happily established in reference to the Oregon question ; and that, a3 an answer to our challenge to reciprocate with us those measures of free trade, which, on our side, will at j .i i i e r:: I once inrow open every naruur ui diiiumi iu -imuiicau produce, we may soon see the great tariff question carried in the United States, in a way calculated at once to promote tlie prosperity of both countries, and t to bind them over to keep the peace towards each other, under the heavy recognizances of mutual in-1 terest, extensive dealing, and reciprocal advantage. The following from Wilmer and Smith's Times is pretty language for an English paper it's impudent decidedly : Queen Victoria became the mother of five children on the afternoon of Monday last a "great fact" in the history of England, which was duly announced to the inhabitants of London by the firing of guns j and other demonstrations of joy. The young stranger i is a female ; and, according to the phraseology of the j court bulletins, is, like the mother, "doing well." The Queen entered on her 27th year a few days back, j and judging by her years and the strength of her constitution,, she, will, in all human probability, leave a! numerous fomily as heir-looms for the British crown J and people. Of the father of this progeny, it may be said in the words of the weird sisters to Banquo : I "Thy children shall be kings though thou art none." ! To mark duly the nation's gratitude on such an occasion, the Archbishop of Canterbury has-been empowered, by an order in council, to draw up. a form of prayer to the Throne of Grace, returning thanks ! for the auspicious event, which will he ollered up in all the Anglican churches to-morrow, Sunday. j Now, no one can object to a becoming respect being paid to the occupant of the throne a Sovereign and a woman. The event to which we allude, commands of itself the sympathies of mankind. But this mixing up of religion with the ordinary progress of humanity, must appear to eyes which have no taste for the imaginative, as being superfluous, if not positively absurd. The worship of heroes has departed, but the worship of frail human clay is perpetuated. The truth is, that what is called "loyalty" becomes, by the admixture of religion with matters purely secular, part and parcel of an Englishman's self. Respect for the crown, without reference to the party who fills it, is inculcated in early life by the church, and he carries the feeling with him to his grave. A spirit of loyalty towards such a ruler as tlie fair and gentle Victoria, is creditable, manly, and compromises no one's personal respect. But it is a galling reflection, and one little calculated to enhance our respect for the "wisdom of our ancestors," that the same feeling of profound veneration for the occupant of tii3 throne, has been extended to a fool, a madman ay, and even to a debauchee. The characters of the sovereigns who immediately preceded the reign of Victoria are subjects for history. They belong to the past. Their faults lie gently on them. .They were men, with men's infirmities, and two of them with less than the average amount of men's brains. But they were kings idolized.'worshippcd as such. The dignity of tlie office threw a halo round the imperfections, the vices, the stupidity of the sovereigns. Mental debasement can hardly go further. . Even on the day on which we write (the 29th of May,) tlie church bclla are ringing in our cars, and prayers are being offered up in our churches and cathedrals, for the preservation of one of the most worthless, heartless, dissolute characters that ever filled a throne, or soiled the nation's page the second Charles. His unfortunate father was tlie sacrifice which the stern and with all their faults and foibles the sturdy and uncompromising Puritans of fered up on the altar of patriotism. The stolidity of the Furitans was exchanged for the recklessness of the Roundheads, and the abject love of loyalty , in which the latter indulged, produced by circumstances appertaining to the period, is, to the discredit of the age, be it said, continued to the present time. The mutability of humin hopes and aspirations may be read in an event of 'which, during the present week, France has been tho 6cene. The nephew of Napoleon has escaped from the fortress of Ham.

As we ro from the table yesterday, after enjoying a bowl of Stelle's delicious 'green turtle," the following hasty reflections occurred to our mind : Soup ' good, soup 's wholesome, soup is liked By the lelined and tasty ; Take soup as often as you please, But never take it hasty! There was a mighty chief, as famed For letters as for fighting, Who stopped to take a hasty plate Before be went to waling. The soup despatched, the chieftain laughed, And felt as proud as Nero ; Just then the tables turned, and, lo ! The soup def pitched the heio! The three following are from the Telegraph : When Generals to the win are told To march and meet the foe. It will not do for them to scold, And tay they will not go. Such conduct ill befits the brave, Much less a famous chief; For thus the fame which bütory gave Fall into dark relief. Those whom their duty cannot bind, Are very foolih veiy; .

A SOUI-crior Hit. In olden times an English Duke Wiihin a butt of Malmsey wine Jumped headlong, strangling bis peruke, Instead of staring out to dine I The reason of this curious pass Was just to olve a phrase perplexing, The words l- vino Veritas,' Which long his spirit had been vexing. But whether he became assur'd By plunging into media res' I know not; yet the Duke sccur'd A draught of sweet obliviousness ! A modern Yankee, fam'd for arms, Too tall in any butt to stoop, Conceiv'd he'd end his dire alarms By jumping in a plate of Soup ! There was no difficulty here, For surface finds free element; And on this oup-erficial bier Floated poor cott incontinent ! He died he's dead he's gone to pot ; But what the hero's search was aftt r Who can divine ? The muse cannot, And sighs commingle with our laughter. Siglis, that a man who once had heart Should fear a flanking fire so dread And laughter, be'd so soon depart, Sotp-inely, to his turtle bei. Horrible Affair. A Mother Murdered ly her Son. A young man, named James Fields, is in jail in Leavenworth, Ind., charged with the murder of his own mother. The Banner says : ... The fiend in human shape had taken his mother to support to live with him, he to provide, she to do the house work. Thus they lived until the old lady's health became so impaired that she was scarcely able to leave her bed, when one day, (Sunday, June 7th,) he came in and ordered her out of bed to get him some dinner, "and be damn quick about it," for he was going to shoot her. The old lady obeyed the injunction ; and whilst she was bending over the fire preparing his meal, he took tlie barrel of a pistol loaded with powder, and ball, and with a coal of lire he set it off the ball took effect in the upper part of the thigh, and . ranged through into the abdomen. She fell bleeding on the floor, where she lay while this demon and murderer endeavored to stop the blood by filling the wound with tow and salt, and washing her with cold water and spirits. He then let her lie till the next day noon hid in his bed behind a blanket, which hung between her and himself, that his eyes need not meet the dying and supplicating looks of the mother. On Monday she became so much worse that he called in the neighbors. As they came he fled ; but justice pursucd'and overtook him, and he is now in custody awaiting his trial at our next District Court. A Good and Gentle Wife The young and pretty Mme. de V , to whom her own calm and sweephysiognomy, and the joyful countenance of her bust band, have given the reputation of being an angel of conjugal goodness, was lately seated at tlie piano, engrossed in an effort to decipher a new cavatina of Verdi. While thus employed, some persons of her acquaintance came to the door, who, in order not to interrupt the charming cantatrice prohibited the servant from announcing them. For some moments they listen with profound silence, then, upon a hint of the ladies, one of the visitors, a young cousin of Mme. de V , stealthily advances to the seat of his fair cousin and suddenly claps his bands over her eyes. "Mon Dieu! What a beast you are, always to come and annoy me when I am alone ! " cried impetuously the gentle Mme. de V , exhibiting the most extravagant symptoms of rage. Stupified, the cousin withdraws his imprudent hand. A general burst of laughter, in the saloon, follows. The young wife turns, and, with one of her sweetest smiles: "Pardon, my dear Charles," said she, giving her cousin her most winning look, " I thought it was my husband!" Courrier des Etats Unis. Spanish Women. It is wonderful to see the amazing burdens that they carried on their heads, and walked at so rapid and safe a pace without the least accident. It is remarkable that the female peasantry in Spain have a more graceful and comely style of walking than the ladies, which I have repeatedly heard accounted for by the burdens that they carry on their heads requiring a certain degree of steadiness to balance; and as they are also taught to dance the fandango when very young, they naturally retain an interesting gait. I have heard that the Irish girls have the same qualification, and that ladies have laughed at tlie idea ; but I would recommend the use of a good burden on the head for a couple cf hours every morning, and I doubt not it might have more effect than all the drill-sergeants and French dancing mastcrs in the universe. Seven years in Spain, by Capt. BAL . Rights -of Married Women. A bill has been introduced into the Canadian Parliament, providing that any person may convey property to married women' which they may bold exclusively to themselves, and free from the control of their husbands. It also authorizes them to dispose of their real or personal property by will. Extraordinary Feat Mr. Eaton, aged 77 years, will commence the great feat of walking one thousand miles in a thousand hours, at the Caledonia Springs, Canada, on the löth July. He has only one backer against hundreds who think he cannot perform the feat. An exchange paper says: "Those farmers who hesitate about their ability to take a newspaper, are requested to keep one hen more than usual. The profits will pay all costs."

Home Maeket. The beauties of this market are finely illustrated by tlie prices of produce just at this juncture. If the foreign market is so trifling, wby should the news of war make the farmer' produce a drug ! According to whig logic, war should be tlie greatest blessing to the country. Home industry should flourish at an unparalleled rate ; our manufactures would then have no competition; more would resort to their business ; fewer laborer would be left to agriculture, and the latter would get better prices, better wages. The home market would be vastly increased, and all the blessings of protection would bo showered upon the country in glorious profusion. As to the debt that might be created, that would be a richer blessing still; extravagant expenditures are

just what is wanted the more extravagant the better. W e have to raise the money to pay it to be sure but that is the very beauty of the business. We raise the money by a tariff and according to Whig logic, tre don't have to pay it. We get it out of the foreigner. We make England pay most of it. It does not come out of the consumer's pocket- The more we make the foreigner pay too, the more our manufactures are protected, the better our home market, and tlie more flourishing the country will be. Indeed, regarding tltis subject seriously and philosophically, as Col. Webb docs the "plate of soup," we advise the employment of a suitable number of leg-treasurers with spacious and leaky pockets, to carry off a ponderous load of treasure at stated periods, for the sake of getting more money out of foreigners and affording proper protection to American industry. The truth is, an empty treasury, according to Whig logic, is a great blessing; for it affords a chance to make a high tariff in order to fill up the " dark and deep" vaults. The process of doing this confers such blessings! The country was prostrate and all business suspended until the glorious tariff, to raise the wind and fill the vaults, was enacted then began happiness and prosperity. The tariff teas the cause of all the reanimation of business, and restoration of confidence. Now, if we had not wanted tlie money, the tariff would not have existed, and the great cause of our prosperity would have been wanting. The Whigs then are acting very absurdly when they are doling away about expenditures and a public dbt. They ought to be tickled to death at these things. It's just to their hand. We hope they will open their eyes and see the merits of the case. Louisville Democrat. Connecticut manufactures double in ratio of Woollen Goods to that of Great Britain! This is a fact which would not be believed, if it were not proved. According to McCullough's calculations, the value of Woollen Manufactures in Great Britain (England, Wales, and Scotland,) is Si 10,000,000. The population is about 20,UO0,00v). Now the comparison stands thus : Population. Value. Rate per soul. $ 5 50 10 25 Great Britain, 20,000,000 $110,000,000 Connecticut, 310,003 3,2S0,.r)73 Take the Cotton Manufacture : Population.

Let us now see what the Annual Production of Connecnecticut is that is, its Income: Manufactures (as above) Fisheries, - Vessels, - - - - -Agriculture, - - - $29,159,314 1,(539,011 4 1S.375 10,e00,lG0 Total Annual Productions, Surface of Connecticut, Population, -Income per Square Mile, Income per soul, - - -Income per family, - $11,733,000 - 4,704 sq miles. 310,015 - 89,800 135 - 810 This is independent of the income of accumulated property, which, in a community like that of Connecticut, is always large. We doubt whether any greater income from the industry of the people, can be shown in any country. This, and other Industrial Records, will show that Political Liberty has developed Industry, as well as Intellect and TiCligion, more in the American Nation, than ever has been developed in any nation under the 6un. It is the triumph of that Political System which leaves the Mind and Industry of men free, to be directed and employed in the channels from which most profit can be derived. Cincinnati Chronicle. The Fulfilment of Peofhecy. In 177S Edmund Burke, the great Irish Orator and English Statesman, with a far-seeing and glowing imagination, thus foreshadowed the rising greatness of the American Republic : " While the narrow and confined policy of Europe, he observed, had established partial opinions and particular sects, the expanded policy of America had established the Christian religion on the broad basis of universal toleration. They will not ask the useful mechanic who shall fly to them for security and freedom, what tenets he professes, or what dogmas he admits! But, Papist or Protestant, Presbyterian or tpiscopist, he is welcome and he is free. By this means the persecuted of every persuasion the enslaved of every country the miserable mechanic the discouraged artist the depressed manufacturer the unrequited man of science will fly to America, as to the rich soil of universal vegetation. America, in the words of the blessed Redeemer, cries out, come unto me, all ye that are burthened and heavy laden, and I will give you rest ; for my yoke is easy and my burden is light. 'May not the promise of the present moment sanctify a conjecture, that in a few years the rising grandeur of America will invite every man from this country, who is not attached to it by landed interest, or other similar cause ! There is a field opening for every species of manufacture, art and science, trade and commerce; finely situated for the encouragement and cultivation of business, every artificer will fly to it, and transplant with him the art he professes. Secure from tyrannical burdens, he will apply himself assiduously in the prospect of reaping what he sowed, and will assist in rearing this new Republic to & pitch of grandeur superior perhaps to any etate now existing." A sure Charge. The following anecdote from a Southern paper is quite an apposite hint to 44 examine your bills." A merchant of Mississippi during a day's business in which he had been crowded with customers, 6old a saddle of the value of forty dollars, but had neglected to make the charge. Next day he missed the saddle and recollected the fact of the sale, .but not the individual who had bought it. After racking his memory for some time to no purpose, he directed his clerk Jim to turn to his ledger alphabet and read off the W's, then the S's, the B's, the C's, and other letters in succession ; all to no purpose. Tired out with the mental exercise, and as the readiest way of settling the difficulty, 44 Jim," said he, " charge a saddle to every one of the customers." This was accordingly done. When tlie planters Lad got their cotton in, and settling time came round, the bills were presented, and if occasionally one man more prudent than his neighbors, went through tlie drudgery of examining a long list of sundries got by different members of the family, he might possibly discover a saddle which they had not got, or one more than they had got, and objecting to the item, it would be struck out of course, alleging there was some mistake. When all tlie accounts had been settled up, 44 Well, Jim," said the storekeeper, 44 how many customers paid you for that saddle !" Jim examined and reported thirty-one. 44 Little enough," exclaimed his employer, for the trouble we have had to find out who got iu" Wealth of Wellington. In 1314 the English House of Commons voted to Lord Wellington the handsome sum of $100,000; at another time the additional 6um annually of $1,000 for three lives; on another occasion he received & donation of $3,400,0U0; and his salary for services in India is $20,000 His annual income would therefore appear to bo some $379,000. The Presidency. Some friends at Washington of Judge McLean, of the U. S. Supreme Court, have issued a pamphlet naming him for the Presidency at the next election. The Hon. Mr. Mangum of the U. S. Senate, has also been named in the same connection for the Vice Trciidency Who's the nest candidate 1
