We call theiatten tion of the people to this striking fact. - Ijistead of works, we have words, icords, words ! The friends of the Administration in the Senate have been harassed by bitter and unrelenting attacks. They are unable to bring the debate to rf close for the want of a pfev?otis question j audinthe House of Represetrttfiives, where, the Whigs have acquired an accidental and factitious ma jority, twelve weeks have passed in idle, una vailing discussion. f 1 'i And to this statement the Editor appends a list of the tiiles of fourteen acts and one joint J resolution, comprising, as he says, all that have passed sifice Congress met. ! j Grant him all h'rs prerfi?ses,:and what 4re the facts ? Why, that his own political friendi have, with a large majority in the Senate, alloiked the passage of the Ten Regiment Bill to be 'delay ed when they could have done otherwise. They had their own reasons,in the latter part of the discussion, for not pressing it to a vote and very sufficient reasons we have 110 doubt they were in proof of which it is erioogh (o state that they themselves continued to debate it until the ariival of the Treaty put (what We trust will be) a final stop to it. With regard to fhe House of Representatives, we have not, since the. commencement bf the reign of the present politiealjDynasty, lad as orderly or as working a House of Representa tives as the present.

ARRIVAL or mm BRITANIA. 14 Days Iater . From England. Decline in FLODR---Iiapr(jTcment in COTTON ! At nine o'clock this morning the telegraph announced the arrival of the Britania, at Bos ton, from Liverpool, ttbence she sailed on fhe I2t h of Febnrary. At abouf Cwo o'clock P. M. we received the following despatch from our correspondent in New York, giving the substance ot the news brought by her : j Liverpool, February 12 -12 M.-Tbe fol lowing are the quotations up to the moment of the sailing of the Britania: Rest Western Ca nal flour 27s. to 27s 6d. per barrel ; Richmond and Alexandria, 27s. a 27s. 6d. ; Philadelphia and Baltimore, 27s. a 27s.

United States and Canadian, white and mited, 7s. 6d. a 8s. 6J. per 70 pounds j red Gs. Gd. a 7s. 2c. This market has steadily declined since our last advices, the above being the highest prices at present attainable. This depression has in a great measure been caused by the large sup plies of home produce w hich has come into the country markets, as well as the increased imports-. Operations in ftour and wheat have been ve ry moderate, and chiefly in a retail way ; and Egyptian beans, which are selling ut 23s. per quarter, have materially aftected (he demand for Indian corn. It will be borne in mind that the resumption of duty takes place upon the 1st of March, rang ing from 4s. to 10s. per quarter on wheat ; and Is. Gd. and 4s. on oats; 2s. a 5s. on barley, rye, peas, and beans ; 15s. on Indian corn ; Gd. per barrel on meal, and 2s. a 3s. per barrel on flour On the 1st of March it is expected the duties trill be about 6s. per quarter on wheat, and 3s. 7Jd. per barrel oa flour.

A sensible improvement has been produced in this market since the departure of the last steamer, operations having enlarged, with adc cided improvement in prices ; that, however, has been caused more by accounts from Amer ica of diminished receipts into the ports, and the moderate shipments to this country, than any marked revival.

The Btiiish Parlia ment has reassembled, and the first debate of importance arose upon a selection for a select committee to inquire into the condition andyros pects of the West India colonics. The. appoint ment of a committee was acceded to; but up on the express understanding that no change would be made in the policy of government oth er than that already announced. The venerable Archbishop of Canterbury, Primate of all England, died on the 14th of Feb ruar3', in the 82d year of his age. The inquiry into the state of the national de fences has ended in the determination of Gov. eminent to double the artillery forces, and em body 150,000 militia.

W7e expect our veneiable neighbor, after this exposition, to be as obstinately mute for the fu ture upon this matter as he has been upon the questions we put to him two or three yeeks ago, for further information, as to the person, place, and process of the manufacture in this country of British opinion upon the Wat, and upon the Subtrensury, to be re-imported to the United Slates for the American market.

The next day he sold the boy, for $325, to Mri R. H. Grant, of this town, giving the usual Warrantee tijle to him, and signing the bill of sale John Parker. Soon after the purchase was made and a c,heck for the amount had been giveni Mr. Giant ques tioned the boy as to where he came fromj &c, when the boy declared he was free, and gave this account of himself: That his name t Ed waid Bailey, and is a native of Guilford (poun ty, in this Slate, where his father, whose ha me is Samuel Bailey, and who is ;a bricklayer by trade, now lives. That the County Cotlrt of Guillord, some four or five months5smce bound him until twenty. one years of age, to one Alvin or Alva Kirkman. That the ipan who brought him here is the brother of the man to whom he was bound, and that he bought his (the boy's) time from his brother with two horses and a few dollars in money. That alter he got him into possession, he brought him down the coun try, travelling with a horse. wagon, pretending that he was going lo the sca-shore to get a load ot oysters. That after they j struck the! Rail Road, somewhere near RockyjMount, Kirkman threatened his life if he said otherwise than that he was his slave, and leaving the wagon,! they came on here in the cars, Kirkman selling him as above mentioned. After hearing this statement Mr. Grant went in pursuit of Kirkman, and demanded to have the check which he had given; him for the boy returned. He leturned it reatlily. j Mr. Grant then got out a process for his apprehension. He was arrested as he was going rin board one of the Charleston Steamers, to take! passage on her, and commuted to jail. He noiv acknowl edges that the boy is free. Oh Monday he was examined before Justices Nichols land Peden, and in default of bail, was remanded to jail, to cut the vessel up.'

As the time of year is approaching when we may expect lo see some ten or a dozen wagons and teams employed in spreading gravel, as it is called, on our streets and pavements, we have concluded to drop a few remarks on the subject. From 500 to 8700 are annually expended on our streets and pavements, and we venture to say that money was never laid out to as little purpose never more signally failed in accom plishing the object for which it was expended. This is owing, mainly, in our opinion, to two causes, to wit : the quality of the material used, and the manner in which it is laid down. Both are very bad, and scarcely ever fail to place the wulk in worse condition than at first. How many pavements are there in Salisbury that arc plea sant in rainy weather. Nearly all of them are either flooded with water, or so muddy that a man is in constant danger of slipingnp-; and as for the ladies they are shut-in excluded until th sun and wind have dried the walks. If the plan hinted at by our Commissioners were carried out, it is good, but more costly : The walks must be raised jind well curbed, and good gravel (not clay) laid down and firmly packed j 5 I ALBEM.!.
