The Senate is progressing w ith commendable care and facility with tho business before it. Yesterday considerable time wes occpied in dbcessing a bill to lessen the business of the h'eprcme court and to increase the pay of the Judges thereof. Messrs. anna. Test, Parker, Haird of J., Thompson, Nave, Iggleston, rbvinc. Elliott, Ileniott, Mof fatt, Watts and 13 -H participateil. The salaries, generally, of all the public o Ulcers of tho stats were alluded ;j. It seemed to be the opinion of most of the speaker, that all salaries, particularly of the Executive and Judiciary officers, should b. increased. The debate sprung out of the question of concurrence by the Senate in an amendment reported by a committee, to whkh the bill of the house had been referred. In the house, on Monday, Mr. Chile? from the Judiciary committee, mau. l 3Me and conclusive report in favor of Pol

ishing capital punishment. The report was accompanied by a hill which repeals the existing laws on the subject, and pro-

W.vsiiingto;.', Sat. Even. Dec. 6. There has been for many days almost an entire calm in politics here delight ful enough, you may be sure, to those of us who have heretofore beeti tossed summer and winter on the political waves those 'waters of Bitterness.' There is a charm about it which only tho.e can know who have long been in the tumult and commotion. The members of congress, generally, have thus far shown a peculiar indisposition for any thing productive of the slightest degree of discussion. All the country has heard of the two great movements in the Senate that of Mr. Clay for the repeal of the SubTreasury act, and the powerful assault of Mr. Wehster on the financial part of the message, and on Mr. Secretary's Treasury report. Either of thce, in common timeoj party excitability, would have .ell o protracted debate. We should have had the best efforts put forth from all sides of the chamber 'logic and wisdom and wit' a few scenes perhaps - ack and retort the joke and the repartee but all is changod now, tranquility reigns. Even these important movements we' -insufficient to overcome the almost universal .. luctance on th part of the majority to get into active discussion. Mr. Clay's admirable and eloquentspeech was answered by Mr. Wright, and then the matter ended. As to tho message of Mr. Van Buren, and the report of Mr. Woodbury, Mr. Webster completely exhausted the topics to which he drew the auuition of the Senate and the country. Our friends saw it was unnecessary to add any thing to his masterly axposit"1!. and therefore contented themselves with saying nothing; while the administration men were warned by Mr. Silas Wright s discomii.a.e, not to attempt to engage in a field where the encounter had been so disastrous ti) their leader That stionjr, laborious pack-hart e of the State." The long prosy speech with which Benton prefaced iiis motion for introducing a bill to tax bank paper, and other media of circulation, fell powerless, as it was unheard for very few of the Senators, or the persons present in ihe galle

ries and passages paid him the compliment of listening. His proposition itself was turned out of doors, as it deserved, in the most disgraceful manner, under circumstances which would ea'l the blush of shame to the cheek of any man except hun, who, from the course of his public life and conduct, may be well supposed to know nothing of that feeling. He mtroducedabillto raise revenue io be originatrd'. the Senate. Every tryo that has gone through the first element-; of con

stitutional law, knows that every measure for such a.u object must originate in the house ot representatives. Humbug as Benton is. ha was perfectly aware of this lequbhion. But he wanted to gel into the Senate a demagogue speech and. with his characteristic vis incrtvr. winch renders him callous to the shafts that would pierce men of ordinary sensibility, he cared not for the ignominious treatmeat of his bill, since he succeeded in miking his speech. He consoled himself under his defeat, by publishing the oration deliberately writtin out, and well conned over beforehand, in the Globe of the same evening filling four mortal cob umns of that delectable journal. l"nrtj, un.;.im- ,! ti!l h-i writes again, 77 fjiius t!it cndltsa cofiwib of his brain, Chrtrm-tl whh c.irh jii'tngt- reviewing wh,t lies writ, Ulessos lit- stars. anJ wonJors at his wit! There has been quits little inclination for debate in tho house of representatives except on the public land policy in the discussion of which, on Thursday, Mr. Win. Cost Johnson so distinguished himself. It is doubtful whether the President's message will be up for reft-rence to the different standing committees until the holidays arc over. When 'he house does take it up in real earnest, there will unquesti.mably be some able and spirited discussion: ami the members who are, or hope to be, or wish to be looked upon as the future leaders of the business ol the house under the coming whig administration, will, no doubt, be emulous to distinguish themselres by the display of their full and accurate information on the topics under consideration, and their skill, eloquence, and general ability in debate. At present, we are enjoying the festivities of the season, with all our mights. Christmas here, as in merry England, is h lii f.-: more honor than New Year's Day, and many of the good old hospitable rights are duly and generally observed by most of the families of the city. Thecl::V was devoted by the members of congress to interchanging social visits. The Pre i lent the Heads of Departments, the Foreign Mi. listers, the Ex-Presiden! Adorns, .-ad the more distinguished Sena tors an 1 Representative, received company a: home, belli in the morning and evening. Mr. Benton is notorious for reading aloud to hb more intimate friends, his speeches in the Globe, and for pointing out what e -onsiders the admirable points in the thought, argument, cr ex pression. He calls his JineiX flights of fancy "jilungcs! t "Ah, sir- says he, when he comes to something very fine, 'there's a noble plunge!"' From the Grcencuslle fisi'or. Indianaimlts, Doc. "-ioth, lx 10.

Jackson and fan Buren fruits. The Navy Pension Fund when created amounted to one million of dollars. Now the nominal value of the stock owned bv

the Fund is SlfN,739. That such value is really nominal, will be pretty clear from the following statement: $100,000 Cincinnati f per cent. Stock, greatly depreciated worth about sixty. 1 1,000 Bank of Washington, greatly depreciated. 33,339 City of Washington .1 per cent. Stock, depreciated. 11,11)0 Union Bank of Georgetown, totally unsaleable. And these depreciated storks forming the entire capital of the fund, rvill only suffice to pay borrowed money and the pensions to become due on the 1st of January; so that in fact, the pension fund is defunct. With what wisdom and economy it has been managed, the character of the stocks in which it is invested will best show. n. . .Qa dutract of the annual report of the Secretary of the Treasury.

We hope the members of our present Legislature will repeal the law of the hist session relating to the publication of estray notices. The law, in reducing the fees of publication, to "() cents, and in taking away from the local printers, and giving the state printers, the fees for advertising the most numerous description of estrays, operates iniquitously and unjustly. So unequal and partial an enactment, could only have been engendered by that itch for change and lawmaking, for v Inch some iegbbtors are so remarkable. For our part, we are determined, whether the hw be repealed or not, to publish no estray notices under 81 for three insertions If abash Courier. Amen to tiiosc sentiments. Ed. Gaz. The Hon.

The one most important, and without which, it would be impossible to travel in such a gregarious way, is an universal defence and civility shown to the women, who may in consequence travel without protection ell over the United States without the least chance of annoyance or insult. This deference paid to the sex is highly creditable to the Americans: it exists from one end of the Union to the other; indeed, in the Southern and more law less states it is even more ckivalrom than in the more settled. Let a female be ever so indifferent!- ": . whatever her appearance may be, : :' b suiTioient that she is a female: she ha.:, th"; first accommodation, and until she has it no man will think of himself. But this deference io mt only shown in travelling hut in every instance. An English lady told me. that wishing to be present at the inauguration of Mr. Van Buren, bv some mistake she and her two daughters alighted from the carriage at the wrong entrance, and in attempting to force? her wnv through a dense crowd, were nearly crushed to death! This wa.i perceived, and the word was given, make room for the ladies! The whole crowd, as if by one simultaneous effort, compressed itself to the right and left, locked themselves together to meet the enormous pres-j

sure, and made a wide lune, t.hrough which they passed with ease and com fori, j It reminded me of the Israelites passing through the Red Sea, with the wall of wa

ters on each side of thm," observed the lady. " In any other country we should have been crushed to death." W;;en I was on board one of the tteajnboats an American asked one of rhe ladies to wh it she would like to be helped She replied, to some turkey, which was within reach, and off of which a passenocr had jest cut t''o wing and transferred it to his own p! ite. The American, who had received the lady's wishes, immediately pounced with his fork upon lie wing of the turkey, and carried it off to the young lady'a piste ; the only explanation given, "br a lath, Sir.'"' was immediately admitted as sufficient.

What monarch ever ruled in an hour like this. 9 EDUCATION. The end of education is threefold to discipline the learner's powers, to impart knowledge, and to form a good mor-jd character. The attainment of knowledge, though not unimportant, is far from being the highest end of elementry education. To draw foth and train to "a vigorous activity the mental powers of the pupil, to impart to him a mastery over principles, to put him in possession of the ability to think, compare, draw inferences.use language with ease and precision: in short, to give him such a command over his own faculties as to enaa'e him to use them skillfully in the investigation, exposition and "enforcement of truth; this is a far more valuable attainment than any amount of positive information which it would be nossibb t,i convey into the youthful mind.
