K . If "'5 A TURD AY, OCT. 23, 1837. CONGRESS. This body adjourned on Mon day, the 1 0 ill inst. to meet again on the 1st Monday in December next. On the preceding Satur day, a motion was made in the House of Representatives to lay the Sub-Treasury bill on the ta ble, which motion prevailed by a majority of 13, (instead of 23, as flated in our last,) ayes 126, noes 107. The entire Democrat ic part of the delegation from this State supported the measure, and the Whigs opposed it. We would gladly have seen Congress give its sanction to this 'expedient,' as it has been termed, for we view it to be far less exceptionable than cither the National or Sinie Bank iystems hut, as some of the friends of the Administration ap pear lo doubt, its efficacy, the most prudent course probably has been adopted, in deferring the fi nal decision upon the subject until the next regular session of Con gress. The following are the measures perfected during this ex tra session, which continued 43 days: LIST OF ACTS Passed at the first session of the Uvtntyfjth Congress. An act to postpone the fourth instalment of deposite with the States. An act authorizing a further postponement of payment upon duty bonds. An act for adjusting the remain ing claims upon the late deposite banks. An act to regulate the fees oi" the district attorneys in certain cases. An act for the relief of D. P. Madison. A bill to authorize the issuing of Treasury notes. A bill making additional appro priations for the suppression of Indian hostilities for the year one thousand eight hundred and thirty Seven. A bill to continue in force cer tain laws to the close of the next session of Congress. A bill to amend an act entitled "An act to provide for the- pay ment of horses lost or destroyed in the military service of the United State," approved January 18. 1837. Resolution directing the post age on letters sent by the Express Mail to be paid in advance. Rill lo separate the Government from the Banks. This measure, as it will be seen, has been laid on the table until the next session, Mr. Clark of New York proposing the postponement, as he said, not to defeat it, but to consult the wishes of his constituents. This appeal was successful with- some Un or a dozen of the democratic members, and the whole opposi tion uuiting with them in a body, tne postponing proposition wa carried by a vote of 120 to 107. If the privileged question to lay on the table IranJ not prevailed, the bill would have been carried by a majority (as was ascertained by the declaration of several mem bers who voted for the postpone ment; of three votes. The sub stitute offered by Mr. Garland, lo recognise the State banks again and their paperr on resuming spe cie payments, as the agents and means of the Treasury, was repu diated by a stronger vole in ii,e Hou,e than it was in the Senate, when submitted by Mr. Hives, h received only seventy three in the House out of two hundred and jorty. The seventy-three votes were composed, witti the excep tor, of six or dght, of members avowedly hostile io-:lhe Slule bank system. The federalists who vo ted with the six or eight conserva tives for a return to the State bank system, are the open advocates of the national oanu as tne l reasury power and balance wheel of... the country. They would only recur 10 the scheme of .Messrs. Rives; and Garland as one which would again fail, and end in establishing a national bank. Globe. Mr. jtjfcrson to Mr. Macon. In a letter recently published, de rived from the paper of the late venerable Nathaniel Macon, we have Mr. Jefferson's opinion of the Slate of things existing in 1319. All know that the visita tion of IS 19 was but one of those periodical calamities which the baukSfWheu allowed to issue ah irredeemable currency 01 paper, bring upon the country. Like the coming ol the locusts, once at least in every seven year, we have a flight of such bank notes, which devour the fruits ol the ; earth sting the fruit trees, aud lay lb ir eggs, which produce a succession f caterpillars these, in turn ilaclrnti ilia iici-rturu aT ilu ... ....... u...7 ii """"t land, ami, after burrowing in the earth for a winter or so. swarm out again, and fill the air with their horrible croakings. It was during the great flight )f IS 19, begotten between the Hank of the United States and the State banks, that Mr. Jefferson I thus expressed hwuself to. Mr. Macon : "There is, indeed, one evil which -awakens roe at times, be cause it jostles me at every turn. It is that we have now no measure of value. I am asked eighteen dollars for a yard of broadcloth, which, when we had dollars, 1 used to get for eighteen shillings From this I can only understand, that a dollar is now worth but two inches of broadcloth. Hut broad cloth is no standard of measure or value. 1 do not know, therefore, whereabouts I stand in the scale of property, nor what to ask, or what to give for it. 1 saw, in deed, the like machinery in action in the years '80 and '81, and with out dissatisfaction; because, in wearing out, it was working out our salvation. Hut I see nothing in this renewal of the game of 'Robin's Alive,' but a general de moralization of the nation, a filch ing from industry its honest earn ings, wherewith lo build up pala ces, and raise gambling stock for swindlers and shavers, who are to close, too, their carer of piracies by fraudulent bankruptcies. My dependence for a- remedy, how ever, is in the wisdom which grows with" time and suffering.' ib. j roc. ioneyzut- i reasunj.

M., and caused the boat lo labor very much. It was soon very generally manifest that her frame was not strong enough to withstand the violence of the sea, and we learn that she raised in the bow and stern at least three feet from iier proper line. It is sup posed that she leaked freely, lor she soon settled so deeD in the r water as to render her wheels en- ! tirely useless, and her sails were! then raised to run her on shore, j About seven or eigiit o'clock, P. !

The Charleston Patriot throws the following additional light upon the causes of this dreadful disaster : It is said that she was built by Contract, under direction of Mr. Allaire, of JYew York, by Brown & Bell, of that rity, first rate bailders, and pionounced by judges in that city, too slight to go io sea; that her engine was an old one, which the owner having no use for, determined to build a boat in which it could be placed, and turned to profit that her Engi neer was the same individual, who, by his carelessness, caused the de struction of life in the William Gibbons, when her boiler explo ded in the Harbor of New York, in 1835 lhat she was lost from mismanagement last Monday night, oft'Oracock Bar, her Cap tain being so intoxicated that her first officer Mr. Matthews, request ed Capt. Sailers to take charge of the boat lhat she was run on shore whM under command of Capt. Sailers and that defective as was her construction, she could have safely made her voyage, or even been run on the bearh during daylight on Monday, and the life of every individual on board saved. Let the facts be inquired into and let public indignation visit, if penal provisions cannot reach, the sordid wretches il these statements be true who would thus trifle with human life, to put a few dollars in their pock et?. To the President of the Wilming ton and Raleigh Kail Hoad Company. Beaufort, S.C. Oct. II, 1837. Sir: 1 had a fine run to Charles ton, and arrived ihere a little af ter 8 o'clock in the morning on Saturday. A few hours afier I got in, a gale commented from N. ad E., and blew with great violeure all Saturday night, and on Sunday morning it moderated, and cleared away finely. The wind shifted from the S. and W. At 4', P. M. on Sunday, I left Charleston for Wilmington, with every prospect of a good passage; but about 8 o'clock at night, (be ing about 20 miles to the N. and E. of Charleston bar,) a gale com menced again from N. it. increa sing and blowing with tremendous violence, dark, thick, and heavy rain. The sea rose rapidly to a fearful height. There was no al ternative, but to hold on as well as we could till day light too dark and thick to make a harbor. I never saw such a sea on oir coast before: the boat pitching, and plunging, and rolling in most awful manner the sea ma king a breach all over her. At 2 o'clock in ihe morning, our smoke stacks came down with a tremen dous crash. We still kepkup the steam as well as we could, and kept the Engineers at work, bo as to keep the boat in the safest pos sible but the sea making a breach in every part of the boat where it could euter, woukl sometimes drive the fireman from the furnace and almost extinguish the fire, with every exertion. The steam would frequently get so low, as;to cause the Engineers to stop; ihen the boat would, lose her steerage way, fall off in the hollow of th(. jiea, and roll so heavy, as to en danger the boilers being upset or knocked out of place. At-day light, on Monday morning, I put her before the; wind and sea, iu tending'to make tlie'Hrst harbor. The gale and sea still continuing, at 10, A. M. made the land, and found we were to leeward of Charleston; and impossible to get in there, we crossed Port Boyal Bar, and arrived here the same night. This place is about 40 or 50 miles to southward of Charles ton. I find the boat is not injured materially. As soon as I can gel wood, I shall return to Charleston and fix my smoke stacks, (new ones) and then lo Wilmington. It was a tremendous gale, and for 14 hours il was extremely doubtful w hether the Boston or any of her crew would ever reach shore in safety. I think I shall leave here to-morrow. 1 have now been 40 hours without sleep, drenched with sea and rain, and must close my letter. Bespeclfully yours, THOMAS J. IVY. From the Wilmington Advertiser. To the Citizens of Wilmington and its vicinity. By the Vilmingion Advertiser if the 13ih, I observe a letter iiom Wm. II. Dundas, E q., to 'he Post Master of t his place, sta ting that a letlt-r had been address ed by the First Assistant Post Master General, to Aaron Lazi iu, nn the lt of August last, vhich letter it appears was in re ply to the memorial that I had the iiooour of trantnViftii!g as your hairman. As thesuppression or M'rlect to make public such a . 7 document would on my part have been unjustifiable and disrespect ful towards you, 1 be;; leave to as sure you, "that no such letter has ver reached me; its misearrjage is regretted, and I should have iskcn much pleasure in comniunt- eating its contents. Un a recent visit to Washin- ton, I had the honor of an inter view with the Post Master Gene ral, when I understood him to ex press bjrr.self favourably disposed with regard lo your memorial, but required the action of Congress in ihe matter. I take this opportu nity to suggust the expediency of making an eaily application to the next Congress for the establish ment of a Mail Lint from the Roanoke to Charleston, by the way of Wilmington, when I fit ter myself we may succeed, as the advantages which the roui holds out must become manifest. I am, very respectfully, Your obedient st rv:nt, AAUON LAZARUS. The fVeldon Bridge. We sta ted a few weeks ago, t hat the Cars would probably run over this Bridge in the course of a verv few days.

The Attorney General did not contend for a conviction for murder after hearing the evidence. The pri soner was sentenced to be brand ed and imprisoned for three months, and the first mentioned punishment was almost immedi ately inflicted in the presence of the Court. Both the prisoner and the deceased were Irishmen and laborers on the Rail Road. They were both intoxicated at the time of the fata catastrophe. We men tion this fact as a warning ltsson toothers.
