The present apportion ment, arranged under the census of 1850, fixes the ratio of representation at one Representative for every ninety-three thousand inhabitants, which gives the following result, viz ; Representatives of free States, .... 146 Representatives of slave States, ... 90 The only plan by which we can airive at an accurate estimate of the probable changes in the relative representation of the two sections after the census of 1SG0, is to take, as the basis of the calculation on which to estimate the pop ulation, the vote cast in each State at its last popular election, and then allowing five and a half inhabitants to each voter the ratio estab lished by the census of 1S50. This will give us an approximate idea of the increased strength of the free States, at all events. It would be more difficult to extend the estimate to the slave States, because the negro element, which enters so largely into the representation of the latter, cannot be calculated with any degree of accuracy.

An estimate of increased population in the free States, made, upon this basis, gives a total so large that it will be necessary to fix the rep resentative ratio at 1 1 0,000 inhabitants, instead of 93,000 as now, and this nation would give results as set forth iu the following table, viz : tion within with and opposed to the spirit of our Constitution and ihe nature of our Republican form of govern nient.

Letter from Lady Havelcck. St. Loos, January 20, 1859. Mr. Editor : Iu a private letter written by me hist summer, to my estimable friend, Lady Ilavelock, I mentioned to her the fact that Sir Henry Havclock's noble character was so highly appreciated by the American people, that on the receipt of the news of his death the flags of the shipping in our harbors were lowered to half mast fiii honor which I believe had never before been paid in this country to a British General. Her reply received a few days ngo, contains so expressive a response to with 5,000 men on Vera Cruz The treaty signed on the 10th of .November last by General Cass and Irizarri, has been, by the Xicaraguan Government, at last ratified. Tiie government has yet no information of the ratification, though there is no reason to doubt the fact. When it was first returned to the United States two or three amendments were added to it. The principal objection urged by Xicaragua was the clause allowing the United States to laud troops for the purpose of keep ing the route open. This our government re fused to give up, but consented to a modification declaring that the troops of the United States shall not have a right of passage to attack any couutry in amity with Xicaragua. The English have agreed to the same amendment in their treaty with Xicaragua. With this exception the treaty is as originally framed. It has yet to be ratified by the United States Senate, and as it, by the terms of the treaty, must be ratified within nine months from date, it must be acted on soon by the Senate. The Secretary of State exchanged ratifications to-day with the French Minister of a treaty providing amendments to the extradition trea ty existing between tho two governments. It now conforms to the provisions of our extradi tion treaty with England. The Cuba question is gaining ground in Con gress. Mr. Benjamin made, ou Friday last, an able argument in favor of its purchase, and it is believed that the Democratic side of the Senate will give it a united support. And it is not certain how the Black Republicans will go. Hale believes that the question will demoralize (split to pieces) the Whig party; Seward gravely doubts, and thinks " that Cuba gravitates towards the Union Governor Can, of Ohio, Banks, of Massachusetts, and Governor Morrill have written to their friends here of its entire popularity in their respective localities. Iu the debate in the Senate Mr. Foot piesented what he was pleased to call "a slight amend ment, but which, if admitted iu the bill, will have the effect of nullifying it for all practical .-1oo, ; the hands of the President, lie sup ported his amendment by the argument of Sew ard, that it proposes to take thirty millions of dollars out of an exhausted treasury ; and then, following Seward strictly, he turned round and attempted to prove that Spain would not sell Cuba, and therefore the money could never be taken out of the treasury. He was evidently careful not to oppose the acquisition of Cuba, bearing iu mind Seward's axiom that it gravi tates to the Union, and Hale's confession that the question of its acquisition is already demor alizing the republican party. Mr. Foot does not wish either that the proposition now before Congress shall he discussed as if it were to ob tain a practical decision on the question, do we want Cuba ? He thinks it ought to be looked at merely as a question whether the President . .. ....... i. i. ii i ..l it sioe v is si so nrov eifii lor " l . ; ' " Vi Tlie bill from the House relative to the West-' t,iat PAIt of m7 letter, that I cannot refrain should be trusted with a su:n of money to be , o - , , , , , , i crn extension was rejected. num uufimg u, imuiyu juu, i mi. pUi,. laverv this is the common bond or brotherhood , V, IT 1? upon which they are united.

Southern Whigs and Know Xothings, Hale, Seward, G hidings, the dim lumi naries of the Dark Lantern party, and the proscrip tion of conscience itself, all in happy accord, are the material with which this great work is to be effec ted.

Believe me, my dear Eliza, sincerely and affectionately your friend, HAXXAII S. IIAYELOCK. Russia, in possession of the primitive Edens and sacred places of the race. Biblical geo graphers point to the lake Ian. in northern Armenia, and now a Russian possession, as the spot where once was situated the paradise, lost by the fault of Adam and Eve. Indo-European theorists, especially Bunsen, locate the cra dle of the race (or the primitive Eden) in northern Asia. It occupied all the present western and part of the eastern Siberia, ex tending from 40 to 53 latitude, and from 60 to 100" longitude. The ArctivOcean, at that time as pleasant as the Mediterranean, with tb.3 Ural mountains as islands, was the northern boundary. On the east lay the Altai and the Chinese Blue or Celestial mountains ; on the south the paropauiisus, or Hindoo-Koosh ; and on the west the Caucasus and the Ararat.

This limits our offer for the isiand to that sum. Mr. Pugh supported the acquisition of Cuba in an eloquent speech, discussing the question in its political and industrial bearings with marked abilit'. He demonstrated that our trade with that fine island was now cramped by an ingeniously drawn tariff, which establishes a discriminative duty on Amer ican products of from thirty-three to oiie hun dred per cent, against us, notwithstanding our treaties with Spain to the contrar He then took up consecutively the side argu ments of the opposition Seuators, and conclu sively demonstrated their fallacy. His speech is worthy of perusal by every man who wishes to see the natural commerce of this country freed from the barriers that now repress it, an immense and permanent market opened for our agricultural and manufacturing products, and a new stimulus given to the industrial mind of the country. This Cuban debate in the Senate has an in terest for the public mind that reaches far deeper than any question that has ever before been presented to the couutry. Farmers and millers can appreciate the question of opening a market at our very door that would take a million barrels of flour yearly, and now takes none : manufacturers have but one choice on the question of opening a market for five mil lions worth ot calicoes, or ot keeping it closed to them, as it now is ; and the dairymen of Xew ork nnd Connecticut compichcnd per- a them, and in favor of Dutch butter and cheese, and one of no duties at all on the productions of their dairies. Tlie question of the acquisition of Cuba comes home to the daily labors of every farmhouse and workshop In the land, with an assurance of palpable hard money profit if the island is acquired ; and the labors of the Senate on the subject have to them a far higher interest than all the abstractions in the world on free labor, squatter sovereignty and such nonsense. The Democratic caucus adopted on motion of Mr Phelps three propositions : 1. That a new Treasury loan bill was proper. 2. Imme diate action on the Appropriation bills. 3. Government expenses must be reduced. If Congress are in earnest, as thev should be, in retrenchment they adopt singular principles. Ihe Senate passes the musty Fiench claim, which calls for more than live millions of dol lars ; the House passes a pension bill which pensions very man who was " in liiiht or a footrace" of any war, which will take some fifty million to pav off, and a homestead bill giving away the public lands to all who want them, while both houses pass the bill -ivim' public lands to found Agricultural Cullecs in every State in the Union. c Your senator, Mr Clingman, made an able argument on the Tariff on Wednesday last, iu which he vindicated the interests of the South, and endeavored to stay the torrent of wild leg islation. What will be done with "the tariff at present cannot be conjectured. The committee on Ways and Means met Tuesday morning. On Tuesday they had a greed, five to four, not to report a loan bill unless connected with a modification of the tariff. This morning Mr Phelps moved to re port a bill to the House authorizing a re-i.-sue of treasury notes. A question ot order was raised, ami the Chairman decided that it was in order ; bat on an appeal his decision was overruled by four, to six. The committee then adjourned. On Monday, it is understood, Mr Phelps will endeavor to report the Treasury Xote bill. If sin amendment is offered to it to modify the tariff, the Speaker will undoubtedly rule it out of order. It may be that the result will be that a suspension of the act of 1S.37 will then carry, or failing that, another week of dead lock. Well informed persons here, how ever, are confident that the tariff will be modi fied, and hope it will be done on Monday by a legislative coup d'etat such as a suspension of the act of 1S57 would furnish. The Committee on Ways and Means had a protracted and animated meeting Saturday morning. Mr Davis, of Md., had at a former meeting offered a resolution that the tariff bills of Mr Phelps, of Mo., and of Messrs. Morrill, of Vt., and Philjips of Pa., should be reported iu that order, in connection with the bill agreed on authorizing the extension of the Treasury Xote law, which motion was voted down. This morning Mr Phillips offered a similar motion, reversing the'positions of Mr Morrill's and his own, which was not agreed to, the re publican members voting against it. The struggle seems to be as to the position of the two bills of Messrs Phillips and Morrill', about which they cannot agree. A motion was made that Mr Phelps might report his treasury note bill without any tariff proposition or bill, which was voted out of or der. Mr Phillips expressed his anxiety that some thing should be clone, and as the members of the committee could not be expected to assent to things to which thev were reallv unfavora b!e, lie suggested and moved that Mr Morrill might take charge of the whole matter, and report to the House the committee could not agree, and have it discharged from the consid eration of the subject, and let it go before a select committee, of which Mr Morrill could.be chairm an. Mr Davis, of Maryland, said tliat Mr Phelps, chairman of the committee, ought to do this, and moved to substitute his name for that of Mr Morrill. Before a vote was taken on this, the com mittee adjourned until Monday morning, the three opposition members and Air Phillips vo ting against the adjournment. The Xavy Department is in receipt of ad vices from Commander Totten, of the African squad ron, announcing the search, seizure, and burn ing of the brig Kufus Sonic, Capt. Anderson, by the steamer Viper, of the British squadron on the same station. One of the R. S.'s sea men testified that it was said by some of the crew of the Viper that she was burned because they had no men to send away in her, and they had orders' to burn one out of every three ves sels taken. The sen men were landed on th; beach. Com. Totten had demanded an explan ation of the co.nmandcr of the Viper, who re sponded to three categorical questions put by Com. Totten as follows : First. Had the vessel the American flag fly ing at the time she was visited by the boat ? Answer. She had the American Hag flying; and from information from the British govern ment, dated the 8th and 22 J of July last, there was every just cause to believe that in this case a fraudulent use of the flag was being made, and that the vessel was engaged iu the slave trade. Consequently, she was visited. Second. If her papers were correct". An swer. In my opinion they were incorrect, some of them undoubtedly so. Third. If the American flag was still flying when the hatches were opened? Answer, the American flag was not Hying when the vessel's hatches were opened. The flag and t he papers were thrown into the sea by the captain, without even a suggestion on my part. Com. Totten replied that it was unsatisfac tory, as it mudc no mention of the circumstances of the burning of the brig without legal inves tigation. Com, Hodkinton rejoined by refer ring the American officer to the British Ad miral, and this closes the report to the avy Department. Two or three evenings in every week the House sits in grand committee, during width sittings, by resolution, no votes are permitted to be taken. The hours are employed in dis cussions dc omnibus rebus, C ruibusdo im ft tits. ' These night sesssions are familiarly known as the Society meetings. Says the Hon. Air- A. to the Hon. Mr B. meeting on the Avenue, "Are 3ou going to the Society to night?" " Can't tell what's the jquery ?" " (Much gfs is consumed by the government and much more by the members.) To give you an idea of the various subjects taeatcd at one of these meetings in speeches always prepared and frequently printed before delivery, I take up accidently the record of the proceedings on the night of the Pith : Mr Keim, of Pa., explained his position- as the representative of old Berks. (Glaney Jones successor.) Mr layior. of La., addressed the committee in favor of the acquisition of Cuba. Mr ood, of .Maine was certain could not be acquired that Spain sell however anxious we ini"-ht be the island. He rose, however, for the nuriio; of opposing the Senate bill for the repeal of the bounty on fish, which deeply concerned his State. He contended that if the fisheries were protected, the means of naval defence were al ways within reach. Mr Jackson, of Ga., argued against the spirit of insubordination to law and order which prevailed among the people, and regretted the spirit of insubordination had of late exhibited itself South. Mr Farnsworth, of 111., defended the Repub lican party from the charge of sectionalism. (Heaven save the mark !) Mr Taylor, of X'." York, addressed the House on the subject of the public printing, and then the Committee rose. Time ! Was it not ? Paraguay Expedition. Xo danger of collis ion. Lopez will let down.
