Yet the Sec letary, iii the veiy "eyes an t teeth' of the law, baa gon on and expended, for the first fix months, $1,29 1, 897 2!, over raalf-a-mtllioti more than the law allowed him, and $225,579 more than Mr. YWker expended for the tame period, in the last fiscal year.

Ctngres however eame to hi aid and appiopriated $572 636 more, ret the Seciet iry ii ni' yet satisfied, and consequently Gen. Bayly brought fjiwaid, lat Wc dneday, a propnsHn jrantin him nearly half a million mure than Mr. Walker expended iu 1S4S, and yet Ilia capacious, maw of the Seetetary if pot yet filled.

Bayly has declared bit deiermiuatiort to prohe the matter t its bottom, and bei net the man ta Aioeh (,om his iesolve, especially when it is in the line of hie duty. I heard an anecdote of "old Zack', the other day, which will give you some conception of the ability and learning of the man who rules tbe destiny of this great Republic. A few members of Congress were dicosi"i. ia hi presence, the probability of disunion Old Zack" wailed till hey got through, when he q iietly remarked, that if .the Union was dissolved, it would be beneficial to the South, inasmuch at "it viGuJd raise ths prie of sugar."

The expenae of transportation of the mails in this country is $2,577,407, and in Gieat Britain, $2,229,763, only a difference of a few thousand dollars- Tbe whole eot of our Post-office is $4,479 043; of the British, $7,015,250 nearly three millions more thin we incur, yet all paid by the penny pott rge system.

We ought at least to hare a trial of 'he peony system. PEN. WASHineTow, Fe. 7, 1S50. We bad quite an interesting debate in committee of the

whole, in tbe House, to-day. Mr. Vinton brought forward his amendment allowing the Secretary of the Treasury an indefinite sum for collecting tbe revenue, and advocated his project in a speech of some length. He said that if the Sec retary was not allowed to squander as much as be pleased ot tbe public money, the Government wob Id lose $l,uuu, 000 by smuggling, in the port of New Yoik alone. The force was not sumeient, said he, even to make tbe proper examination of tbe packages, &e. A very disastrous admis sion for bim to make indeed, when it i recollected that the fo:ce aoder the last administration is iut the same as under the present, yet we heard no complaints fiom the late col lector that the force waa not sufficient The tiaih is that all tbe old and capable mm were turned nut by the present collector, Mr. Maxwell, and a set of lazy, good-for-nothing, sieek-baiied, whiskered diones, with no more intellect than ao many boga and no more capable of their elation than old Zack" himself, were put in their places. Thus it is thai the public business is neglected, and the public money squandered, iu order to bestow offices upon worthless partisans, by i an administration that had "no friends to reward, no toemiti ' to puoUh." After Mr. Vinton had finished, Mr. Winthrop got the floor, and supposing that Mr. Vinton had failed in hi reply to Gen. Hay ly, the honorable gentlemen preceded to try what he could do, but, it was soon seeu, with rery little mote success, ife stated that $40.000,000 he feared would be collected Ibis year, under tbe present taiiflT. Here i a wide dilieience between him and Mr. Meredith a difference of V $3,C00,ÜÜ0. But supposing Mr. Winthrop t be light what i is there to be f-ared from this large revenue? Thattjiepublic debt, w.th economy, will soon be p.i 1 ? Weeao .e . nothing else, and when we take mto consideration the pany to bich he belonzs a oartr that has he d that a "public debt was a public blessing." we are confirmed in our opiuiori - that it was this in reality he feared. Well, we don't think tbe people will see anything viy disatro io thi. Mr. Winthrop was opposed to lowering the salaries of the ctfieris of the custom-house, lie was afiaid lest they might be thereby induced to accept bubes. Mr. Toombs, a whig, followed Mr. Winthrop, and in re ply to that gentleman, staled that the expenses dw for eolleeiing the revenue in the port of New York were more

After a few rrmaiks ; c:rc

By-the-by, there are two incidents In Mr. Clav' great sppecb, worthy of note, that I failed to mention in my former letter. The one is where he conects tbe general and almost universal impression that he was the mover or author of the line of 35 deg. 30 tnin., known as tha Missouii Compromise. He State that Mr. Thomas of I1L, first brought forward tbe proposition, and it was upon bis motion it was agreed to. Tbe other incident relates to "old Zack." and shows the estimation iu which Mr. Clay hoIJi that distinguished personage. There is such a thing as "damning wi'b faint praise," and there is also such a thing as giving Jnur neighbor a sir "dig" in the libs. Mr. Clay is expert at both, and never did display those qualities to a better perfeciino than in his allusion to Gen. Taylor. After referring to the glolious deeds and chivaliie daring'of our gallant sOldieis, in Mexico, be thus alludes to "old Zack" "With respect In tbe one in command of an important poition of out aimy, I need say nothing in piaic of him who has been borne by tbe voice of his conn try to the highest station in it, mainly on account of hit glorious military career.-mark that !

Of a verity. Gen. ! Taylor must hare been funning when he said, "I recommend the obervance ef tlrict economy in the appropriation and expenditure of public money." j Mr. Holmes of 8. C, a kiud of political pon-df script, followed Mr. Tbi'mpion. He was willing to give the Secretary all be asked, lest it might endanger the business of the country, etc lie lauded Iba tariff of 1846, yet indulged in a most ill-natured and uncalled for attack upon Geo. McKay, the man who had done mo-t to cany, that tariff through the House. Mr. Brooks of New York followed on Ihe same tide, lie denooneed the tariff or 1846 because it allowed men of small capital to engage ia the transportation business. He was also opposed to lbs watehousing iyteni. At lat Gen. Bayly got the door, and made one of Ihe most lucid, argumentative and convincing speeches, I undertake t say, ever beard within Ihe balls of that Ilou-e. He stated hia points with clearness, and ieaoned with lliat fotre and power that cannol fail to have thrir effect upon Ihe country. One by one he look up the sophistries of his opponents and exposed them to the public view. He showed ihe misstatement they had mde the unfairness they had practiced, and tbe garbling of which they had been guilty, in order to set up a plausible defence for tbe Secretaiy. But let me specify in answer to the qoe.iion of Mr. Viotoo why Secretary Walker had not reduced Ihe expenses to ihe rum contemplated by lbs law tf the 31 of March, to-wit i $1,560.000 when be had said that was sufficient. Gen. Bayly replied, that Mr. Walker had told Congress time aud ain lhat he could not do so without a law of Congiess authorizing him he could not cut down the salaries, or dismis any offieis who were not needed unless Congress 'save him tbe power. Tbat power Congrevs bad firm to Mr. Meredith, yet he could not collect a let$ revenue for $350,573 mors than Mr. Walker had expended. Aain, theie wete heavy charges up-m Ibe Treasury in Mr. Walker' time thai do net now exrt. such as the debenture system, now abolished the heavy im pottnions, the war, the aiming tnd equipment of tevenue cstters as vessels of war. &e. In reply to another statement of Mr. Vinton that the ex penses euld not be reduced withnnt proving detrimental to toe pub he imerel. Gen. Bayly said, 'there are connected wirr the custom hooe at Boston 167- The f-rei'0 arrivals at thar p-irt for 14 were 3,009 or on an average of eight a day.

Laue lo his lady, dated Oregon City ort the 23d Sept. last. It contained very little nutter relating to public affairs, of course. The principal item of puli- , lie importance in it, is a request that his family shall hold thernselvc in readiness to leave here for Oregon esrly in March, at which time his son, (who was in Oregon at tbe lime Ire wrote,) would be here to crompany the family to a point designated where the General iamself would meet ihcrn. Iu viev of the position of Gen. Line before thepublic, we question very much whether, under the circumstances, he will leave. He is in the hands of tLe people, and the people of the West have taken a stand for him as a cnodidate for the Presidency in 13Ö2. The recent movement at tbv State capital and otber unmistakable demonstrations i f public opinion in his famr, when presented in a proper light before hi;n, will tiorlotibl induce him to swerve from his purpose of emigrating to the wilds of Oregon. He is nt ambitious, but he is a man who will do whatever the people legitimately say he must do. Etansville Journal, Jan. 21. RccEirTs or Benevolent Societies.

The friends of Dr.: Webster urge that he could not have exhibited the composure he did, after the crime of murder hd been committed, if he had been guilty of it, as it is known that he sat down ou the same night, and deliberately played chess..' This is not a certain test of innocence, as it is recorded of the Countess of Somerset, that she danced a measure with a nobleman, just after she had committed murder, aud that she was all gayety and frolic, although she had just done a deed which, when it was discovered, filled mankind with horror. She and her husband were put to their trial for the murder of Sir Thomas Overbury. The Earl was convicted. The.Countess pled guilty ftfT" lion. Henry A.

Some of the members wanted a large edition printed in n. critap form to go out to the people; others wanted it bound in aubstan-: tial binding. It is really to be hoped that the repreaentatives of this great nation will not continue to. belittle it by such a stream of miserably orinted pamphlets as come to the people. If a document is worth printing at all it is worth printing well, and not on such wretched paper and iu such a wretched manner as fx many of the national documents are printed. They are a disgrace to the nation. One of the members stated that it was notorious that a. con siderable portion of the documents printed found their way into the grocery stores for wrapping paper. This is all some of thein are fit for. Dotton Post. fJy-A correspondent of the Earning Post, writing from Philadelphia says: .

Infidelity. A few days ago the inbt litanta of Barnard catl-, Durham, were amused by the town crier proclaiming the following : " M r. John Kay is coin? to burn Mrs. Kay s clothes upon the Demesnes Hill, and he invites Mr. Hooper 1j the fire, which is now kindling." The crier commenced at Mr. Hooper door, and, it being the dinner hour, he was followed by a large con course of people. They proceeded lo the Demesnes, a field near the town, upon a hill ; a very large tire ot wood and r-traw was made by Mr. Kay, (who was an inn keeper in the town,) upon which he laid all the val uable wrarinn; apparel and articles of his wife, which consisted of her satin asd silk dresses, including nearly the whole of her bridal garments, muslin dresses, shawls, victormes, bonnets, veils, caps, arti ficials, pars suis, a pair of beautiful stays, stockings, brooches, rings, a fine silk cloak, a quantity of bed linen, a pin-cushion, with the inscription welcome, little stranger," upon it, and a great many more clothes of every description. These clothes were considered to be worth at least ol). it is supposed that Mr. Kay's reason for doing this was conjugal infidelity on the part of his wife. In the evening of the same day, a large crowd paraded the town with an enigy, which was burnt in front of. Mr. Hooper's house in Gallgate slreet.

It will be interesting to the public to learn the end of a man who at one time was a literary lion iu London a man whose powers as a writer and as an artist, whose profound scientific acquirements aud amusing qualities in society made him the centre of a brilliant circle. The story .f the crimes aud punishment of Wainv. right are too well known to need recapitulation. Sutiice it, that (here is too much reason to believe that he poisoned several persons with the view of defrauding insurance offices, and lhat his criminal career terminated in transportation fur forgery. To the last (so greatly had he been estemced in private) some few friends believed in his innocence, turned a deaf ear to the damning evidence against him, and refused to believe one they had so highly estimated a debased and dnrklv-nlotting miscreant. It is well known that Mr. Proctor (Barry Cornwall) was his friend to the last, ! and petitioned the Home Secretary to allow the con-: vicied forger certain dainties eti his way to a penal settlement, which petition was not complied with. Charles Lamb metil ions Wain wright as "the lighthcaftcd Janus," alluding to the om Je guerre (Janus Weathercock) under which Wainwright published his light effusions. I have just heard from a pentleman who has lately returned from New South Wales, certain particulars of this celebrated convict. He became so altered by tbe convict discipline, my informant told me, that it was difficult to conceive him in a higher sphere of life than he held as a ticket ofleave man in Sidney. He might be seen there on a Saturday night, with a coarse market basket ia his hand, purchasing his food among the very poorest. He made n living by taking portraits, and at intervals exhibited in the local exhibition ; but his talents as an artist, though they commanded customers, did hot raise him to ttie social scale. He was still the convict; still the criminal to be shunned and scouted. He died in the liospital, and the surgeon who attended him in his last moments said that the wretched man's death-bed was one of the most appalling scenes he had ever witnessed. He raved in the most violent manner, uttered the most blasphemous oaths, and died in a paroxysm of remorse and fear. London Corrtt' fiondmt tf the Manchester Examiner.

Dearest lady, as thou ail, Gentle, talented and fair. I have shiioed thee in my heart. With a priceless tieature theie. Could I have foul like thine. On life pathway by my aiite Never would my heart lepine, For a mote angelic guide. Oft we meet with woith and mind. In the circles where we rnnee. But in long, long years we fiod, Few, how very f-w ti love. Yt, without this hc.Whed few. Life would be a rieaerl lone. Where no spaik'.in; drop of dew, Wheie no cheering sunbeam shone. With the darling little b.n.l, Whose warm spirits dwell with min In love's tadient Kden land, I have drd to number thine. Ti not long ince fiiat we met. And we only met to put, But sio measured time ia et. For the offerings of tbe hrart. Quick as thought, a hx k, a sigh. Or a whispei kind and true, Binds the spirit wi'h a tie, That long years nwy nut undo. Fancy brines thee to me now, With thine eyes to soft and bright With thy ue transpairnt brw, Radien, with tbe spirit's light. But, alas! when I aay, To embrace the vmoo fair, Silently it fades away, And I cla-p the empty airClasp tbe empty air and hear, Io the silence of my heart.

On the 5th inst., a horrible murder was committed at Dollston prairie, Clark county, Illinois: Ihe Marshall Democrat gives tlio particulars, from which wc gather that John Knight sold to his brother. Joseph Khight, a wagon, fur which he was to dig him two wells, or pay him fifty dollars. The work on the wells was partially performed, and then abandoned. John then sued and recovered judgment. On Friday, Joseph went to his brother's rnuse, and made an attempt to take his life, with a long knife, but failed, and then told him lhat, unless be gavo him a receipt against his judgment by the next morning at 8 o'clock. he would shoot him. Complaint was made against Joseph, and a warrant issued, but the officer failed to take him. John returned home, and loaded his gun, as he said, for the purpose of defending himself, should Joseph attempt to carry out his threat. Next morn ing, noon after break asl, the children announced that Joseph was approaching with his gun. John took down his gun, and stepped nut of the d' T, and when Joseph came within the yard, he told him not 'to ap proach nearer, or he would iroot him. Joseph, with out making any response, drew si ms gun and shot his brother through the heart. Wm. Knight, another brother, barely escnpf d with his l.fi-. Joseph then reloaded his gun, and star ed home. On his way, he told a neighbor what he had d ine, and requested him to go. and see whether his brother was dead. 0:i reaching home, he started off. but n returned, and told his wit.' lhat hit life wis a bifdon to him, and thnt be would not evade justice. He was then c mmittcd to await his trial. Brutal Affaik. An affair of the most shocking nature we have ever been called upon to notice, happened in Atlanta, (Ja., a few days since. It appears that some d.thculty had existed between Mr. Fannin and his son-in-law, Mr. Godfrey, in relation to certain elaves, and that the father, Mr. F., had been forbidden aceeps to the house of his son-in-law. During the fore part of week before last, however, he attempted to gain an enterance into the house, and being opposed, a fizht ensued between himself and son-in-law, when the wife of Mr. G., in endeavoring to quiet the parties, received a stab iu the abdomen, from a knife in the hands of her father. She was at the time some eight months advaccd iu pregnancy. She died from the effects of the wound about two days af.er it was inflicted. Death of an Eminent Mexican. Pana y Pena, who was president of the Republic of Mexico at the close of the war with the United States, is dead. It was under his auspices that the treaty of peace was made, and it was by Iii in it was ratified, after Hrrera, tl.e President elect, fearing popular indignation and the cabals of the SaotauUt, shunned the responsibili ty of advocating or signing it, and obtained the elec tion of Pena y Pena as President, ad interim, by Congress. He was considered one of the ablest and best men in Mexico. The public debt of Kentucky, on the 10ih of Of tober last, exclusive of sr-hod boud-i, was ft.4U7,' 152.
