No measure of importance, except the usual appropriation bills, have been passed. The re trenchment bill, which passed the House, reduc ing the pay of Governm.ent officers, and the pay and mileage of members of Congress, was report ed from the Judkriar?/ Committee in the Senate, with amendments, but no action was had on it. piit’fiU* s CH !a/ y> *he J;h uli , | ft Downino’- street ul hail past three in the' alternoon. in com pany with tbi* Kill of Haddington.—They pro ceeded as tir as the Admiralty, where he left the 4'arl. iifid 'valUed to the banking-house of his broth er. at C h iring cross. t)n his return, while near Horse Guards, he was shot at from behind.

More- head ii right, instead of holding only onv lucrative office'^ at n time, and drawing a salary of two thou sand dollars, the constitution is a nullity, and he can hold THEE, and draw a salary of over fuur thou- sand dollars a year. The law constituting the Board of Internal Im provement (see Revised Statutes, An act to aid the internal improvements of the Stale/' section 2.) says: “ The board shall hereafter consist of the Go vernor of the State for tlie iime being, who shall be , ex officio president thereof, and of two Commission-' ers, lo be appointed annually by the Governor, by and with the adi'ice of the council of State," and the 8d section continues, “and the said Commission ers shall receii'e for their services the sum of THREE dollars each pftr day, and their travelling expenses for the time they may be employed in the public service.” The act amendatory of the act constitutiiig the Literary Board, (Rev.

Their further discussion can do nothing but harm to our party and bring defeat «n our principles. We have stood by Gen.
