The Post Master General has issued an ord r to the City Postmaster of Washing ton city, to the e fleet, that all letters or doc uments franked by members of Congres hall be -cliMged wilh letter postage, unlos it shall appear that said letters or package emanated .directly ... from ., members them selves. The effect of this is, that all letters on which there is "a difference between the hattdwirting of the frank, and that of the remainder of th'e superscription, will be presumed not to have cmunled from members franking, and will be charged ac cordingly. If, however, on the arrival of the letter at its destination, the receiver shall think proper lo open it and show that it is bona fide communication from a member, then the postage shall be refunded. The law on the subject is as follows; "That for a ueriod of ?o Uy. Ucf.s: itie commencement, and 90 days after the end of each and every congress' members may "send and receive through the mail, free ol postage, any letter, newspaper or packet, not exceeding two ounces in weight." Now, as the law is positive and makes no distinction between frinked letters, where the whole address is written by a member himself and those where all except the frank is written by a clerk or amanuensis it is contended that the Postmaster General has phieed an unwarranted construction up on it. It is well known that the-mnltitmies of documents and packets scut from fnem- bers themselves are directed by clerks, and that I he members merely frank them Hence I think it will be extremely difficult to enforce said order.

He s'.oodjn that spot, arid addressed a large audience npon the subject of Temperance; that as the end of the year drew near, it was the practice of men of all professions to review the past and make preparations to commence the new year with additional experience and renewed confidence. -.The -past year had ben an eventful on to him but he did not stand thereto speak of himself but to speak of things relative lo the great causa he was engaved in, things that he had seen, that he knew, (hat he had said that no man had ever heard him apply harsh epithets to dealers in anient sprits; it was not the men but the trade he warred against and deteMed; hut he could not htlp thinking that its tendency was to harden the heart. He alluded to an in stance in the town of Hopington, where a son engaged in the trafic, had boasted to him, that his father (a greyheaded old man) had broken thepledge by dr kiffg the li quor which he (Ui son)- sold to him - The speaker enlarged upon this incident, and others or a similar nature fir a manner pecu liar to himself and with an eloquence (hit hushed the crowded auditory to a deathlike silence. He then appealed to the young men, panning in vivid colors (heir danger the reason ofrouvivialuy, the attractive sal -ons, metaphorically painting the boat in which they launch upon the sea of lifo with gaudy banners floating at the bow and stern; the rippling waters dancing past them, empty tng the wine cup amid mirth, song and fes tivity unmindful of the vortex they were approaching until they became the slaves of an appetite so thoughtlessly engender ed. lie wished lo instil into the young a self sacrificing spirit a spirit similar to that which actuated our ptlgttm fathers in seeking an inhospitable country to plant the standard of religious freedom, leaving their homes and all they held dear to enjoy and perpetuate it. ... .

THE VALUE UP AN ENGLISH -"WIFE. - The Liverpool Albion, alluding to the degraded position of ' lemaTes'1n 'China, re lates an snecd le showing how high I v a Chinese mandarin valued the wife of an En glish merchant. Nothing astonishes the Chinamen who visit lh hugfish merchant al Hong-Kong so much as the deference which is paid to the ladies, mi J tire posi tion which the latter are permitted to hold in society. The very servants express tlielrulfgrtsT Ht seeing the ladies permitted to stl at table with their lords, and wonder how men can so far forget their dignity. ' A yoimg English merrhant recently took his youthful wife with him to HongilCong where the couple were visited by a wealthy mandnrm The latter regarded the lady attentively, atfd sYetrred (o dwell with de light on her movements. Whun she at length left tho apartments, he said (o the husband, in his imperfect English, "What yorr give for that wifcy wife yoursT" 01i," replied the husband, laughing at the singu lar error of his visitor. 4lt2000." This the merchant thought would appear to the Chi' nese rather a high figure, but he was mis taken. "We!!," said the mandarin', taking out his book whh an air of business, s'ii e you give her to me, I give you 85000," It is difficult to say whether the young; merchant was more amazed or amus ed, but the grave atr of the Chinaman con vinced him that he was in earnest, and he was compelled, therefore, to refuse the of fer with as much placidity as he could as sume. The mandarin was pressing, how. ever, and went at high asjf 7000.

FROM A V AsillN GTON COURES - INDENT.- -' Washington, Jan. 3rd, 8 P. M. The Oregon thermometer bobs up and down like the head of a Chinese Mandarin. A few days ago it stood at 540 10 m in n tea, i il.eh camer a geiiile zephyr from Mr. Cal-hunyatMitteod-at tK -' Yesierr old man eloquent came out "With a regular tior-wester, and the glass marched 5-1 " 40 minu'es again, with very liule prospect of varying from that point. The speech of Mr. Adams, h;ts given great strength to the Western members, and will probably enable them lo carry through a resolution declaring that our title to the whole of the Territory, is "clear and un questionable." 1 do not think, however, ttrnv ihey will be able to commit the nation against a compromise on ihe 4th deg ee, should it be offered by Great Britain, d jjMMMiyU? fttMf. j,iias every ono must judge for himself. For my ,!.,!. .part, t do not entertain iha slightest hope of it. The debate was continued to day, and al aa early hour, the galleries were crow ded with anxious spectators, "their souls in arms and eager for the fray From the abstract of the debate, which I enclose, vmi will perceive that members are losing steht ?J.P.VSy.'i.h9 discussion pf this freat quea iion.- vvnnenir.

In the course of the debate, Mr. Treston King admitted that the offer of a compromise made by Mr. Polk, wss based on the knowledge that it would be rejected, snd that had (here been any prospect of its ; being accepted, he would not kant made it ' Mr. Winihrop justly characterised this as a piece of duplicity and treachery on the pari of ihe admiuiMration, which is calcu lated to place ut in a degrading light in the eyes of nations. In reference to the speech of Mr. Adams, he said it would produce more alarm and disturb the peace of the country more than iny (liing Vhicfr Ifttl et taken place. I cannot shut rfty eyet to the belief that Mr Polk is determined to have the whole of Oregon, even at the expense nfa war with. Great Britain. He knows that the trc 'piiiiUive party is numeiically the strongest, and therefore he will make himself the head of that party. la spite of all his declara lions to the contrary, do and will believe ili.it he is looking forward lo a re-election, an! intends to make his war horse carry him into a second term. God grant that he may be disappointed. FAIRFAX. The "Washington Union of Monday night saye-the news by the Aea-fia is not deci sive of peace or war.
