Mr. Benton offered a series of resolutions, eight In number, calling upon the.'. Presdent of the United States for information respecting the condition of the Treasury,. &c. These resolutions, in substance, are: 1.

It is not my purpose to give an eulogy on my deceased colleague and friend;' and will only say, that tuat those who knew him best esteemed hinv most. As a public man, he was faithful in the discharge of his official duties; and in private life an ornament to society a friend to the friendless, and a counsellor to the wayward youth. His relatives cannot but deeply feel his loss, but will he consoled by the reflection, that in trusting to the benignity of Him "who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb," they will not be left without a comforter,.-though bereft of their dearest

earthly friend. And it becomes us, with whom lie was seated, to bow with humble submission to this mysterious dispensation of an overruling Providence. Mr. Cooper then read a 'resolution befitting the occasion, which was adopted. After which, on motion of Mr- Cooper, the House adjourned till twelve o'clock to-morrow.

Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot. WASHINGTON, June 3,1341.

" SENATE. Committees announced by the ChairResolution introduced by Mr. Treston, calling upon the President of the United States for a report as to the causes of the sailing of the Mediterranean Squadron from its station, and the return of the frigate Brandy wine.

This is unnecessary in

this instance. Mr. Tyler has seen so explicit and brief that a recapitulation of his suggestions and views is superfluous. An explanatory synopsis of each of Mr. Van Buren's messages was" always acceptable to the reader, as they never had the merit of shortness and a close confinement to the subjects treated of. But we took up our pen chiefly to express our regret that Mr. Tyler did not more decidedly re

commend, and clearly express himself, (as demanded by the exigency of the times) in favor of the establishment of a National Bank and a high protective tariff, and the distribution of the proceeds of the public lands. These are measures that the people have most unequivocally declared themselves in favor of: and in their trumpet-

tongued voice as uttered last fall and reiterated this spring, they have called for their speedy adoption. Short of nothing else will they be satisfied. We have however every confidence that the

immediate representati ves of the people will carry j

out the wishes of their constituents, and that the President will not disappoint their reasonable and just expectations by the intervention of the veto power. From the Indiana Democrat of the 9th inst. we learn that Messrs. Bolton & Pattison retire after that date from its management. It is not stated who is to succeed them, but rumor says it will be Chapman, not'the croiver or cock-a-doo-dle-doo man, but the one who was indicted in Vigo county for perjury. This is making bad worse. The President's Message reached New York in 9i hours, the quickest trip ever made. It reached this place in 100 hours, the quickest trip bringing a similar document, ever made. JUVENILE CELEBRATION. I wish all the children in this place between the ages of six and eighteen years to meet me at the State House, on Monday next, at 5 o'ejock in the afternoon, to make arrangements to celebrate the approaching anniversary .of our Independence. This celebration is not intended "to conflict with any other of that day. It will be at a time to prevent that. I do know, from many years' experience, that if parents will permit their children to thus celebrate the Fourth it will exceed any other way in interest and usefulness. The children from among themselves will select their President, Vice Piesident, Reader, Oratcr, Marshals, &c. No adult will be permitted to take any part in the exercises. The celebration will be purely juvenile. J. COOK.

On motion of Mr. King, it was agreed by unanimous consent, that the Committees should be filled up by the President of the Senate. Mr. Clay presented a resolntion for the appointment of a Select Committee, on that part of the Message relating to a uniform currency, and a suitable Fiscal . Agency of Government. Mr. King wished it might lie upon the table, but after an explanation from Mr. Clay, consented to its being acted on now. Resolution passed unanimously. .

The joint resolution from the House of Representatives, in relation to the reference, of so much of the President's Message as relates to the death of the President to a Select Committee laving been taken op.

Fiscal Agent, whether a United States bank or anything else, the Sub-Treasury might be repealed; but he wished Senators on the other side to present without reserve or mystery their substitute for the SobTreasury, before repealing a measure for which he (Mr. Calhoun) had been contending four years. He moved, therefore, to amend by referring to the Committee on Finance, with the repeal of the Sub-Treasury, the task of proposing a substitute. Mr. Clay objected to such an amendment, anil stated his reasons for presenting the repeal in advance eftVthe regular train of financial measures now in preparation. Explanations ensued, in the course of which it appeared that Mr. Calhoun had not distinctly heard the modification proposed by Mr. Wright and accepted by Mr. Clay. Mr. Calhoun however still sustained his amendment. , After some discussion between Messrs. Clay and Rives, the amendment was rejected, and the resolution passed. The Senate adjourned at half-past one to meet at twelve to-morrow.

IIOl'SE OE REPKESENTATIVES. The House met at eleven o'clock, agreeably to adjournment. Mr. Barnard, of New York, moved to take up his resolution for the appointment of two select committees, one on the subject of the currency and a fiscal agent and the other on the distribution of the proceeds, of the pulic lands. After some remarks from Messrs. Pickens and Clifford, the House refused, by a large majority, to act unon the resolutions.

The resolution of Mr. Wise, respecting the rules of

the House, with the amendment ottered by iUr. Adams, rescinding the rule excluding abolition petitions, was then taken up. There was a great struggle for the floor, but Mr. Wise first caught the Speakers eye. Mr. Wise spoke, as did also Mr. Wm. Cost Johnson and others, when the resolution was laid over. The report of the Secretary of the Treasury was received, and ordered to be printed. Adjourned.

BOSTON, June 2d, 4 o'clock,.P. M. The British Royal Mail Steamship Acadia arrived at the Cunard wharf this morning, at Olio o'clock, and took us somewhat by surprise. She has proved herself worthy of her fame; having made the passage in thirteen days nd a half. She

left Liverpool on the 19th and ha3 had good weather most of the time; having seen only one iceberg. The Great Western arrived atJCing's Road on the 14th, thus completing, her home voyage iu 13 days, and fairly beating the Columbia. The steamship Columbia arrived at Liverpool on the 15th, having made the passage in fifteen days. She had good weather most of the woy. The Steamship President had not arrived and no certain tidings had been obtained from her. Every breeze from the broad Atlantic, to the anxious watchers, gave signs of woe that all was lost. Every hope was abandoned to despair. I-'TiiimM'i.rlJ'BESIDENT,: - : .

The followii)' reports have been received: " COVE OF CORK, May 12. The Columbia packet, Captain Garrett, from Monte Video, which place she left on the 27th of January, for Antwerp, has come i:i here, and Captain Garrett reports that 10 days since (2J instant,) in long. 18, he saw at somedistance a large steamer, bound for the eastward, and which appeared to him to bo disabled.

.a-she 'was going very slowly and could hardiy keep

way with his vessel. As night came on ho lost sight of her, and two' days afterwards experienced a heavy gale to the eastward. The apparently disabled ship was so far from him that he cannot describe her appearance further than she was a large steamer. Captain Garrett had not heard that the President was missing until asked by the gentleman iGeorgo Wright, Esq.) surveyor to Lloyd's who was good enough to favor us. with these particulars. An advance of from 1 l-2d to to 2d per lb. has taken place in teas in the London Market. , The Austrian Observer, on the authority of Constantinople letters, states that the Porte had issued orders for blockading the whole coast of Canadia.

The Paris papers are filled with the news contained in our eastern correspondednce, the essence of which correspondence is that the Porte has modified the firman in favor of Mehemet Ali, and ordered an expedition -t sail for Canadia to put down the insurrection. One of our Constantinople letters says that Syria has considerably improved since i't lias been

The business of the manufacturing towns still continue dull, and a great many workmen were out of employ. - The principal subject of excitement was the proposed repeal of the corn laws; hut no definite action was had on I he subject in Parliament.

From Edinburg, petitions follow each other by dozens and half dozens at a time. Public meetings have b.'eu held at Greenock, Selkirk, Stirling, Kelso, Earlstonn aud many other places.

CHINA. ; ; An express in anticipation of the overland mail, arived in London on the 6th ult., from which we learn that the China difficulty is still unsettled1 Captain Elliot is severely censured by the English opposition papers for his dilatory conduct. The following epitome of the contents of the mail, we cut from the London Post of the 6th ult.' The trade had not been re-opened on the 2d February, as agreed upon, and every thing was still in uncertainty. Keshen and Captain Elliot were humbugging one another, but it is said the Canton authorities were not pleased with the arrangement, and there was a rumor of Keshen being likely to be superceded. Some think that a final settlement will not be obtained without further hostilities. It has been an illfated, ill-directed expedition, attended with a most unnecessary waste of Britfsh life, and nothing is yet really settled, so as to admit of the English venturing up to Canton. Hong Kong had been proclaimed a British settlement. The smuggling of teas was active and easy,the article bad and dear. Two ships for London were nearly laden with them. On the other hand gentlemen from China say that there is plenty of tea in Canton, and they are confident in their opinion that tea' will be exported this year as usual, the probability being that Captain Elliot will make any sacrifice to obtain that object. The troops in Chusan were still sickly. A letter from China states in confirmation of the above that nothing was settled up to the 11th of February last. LOSS OF THE WILLIAM BROWN.

Information having reached the town that some shipwrecked seamen were on board, the report, hecame general that they belonged to the President, and the excitement was beyond all description.
