My heart fainted within me under this hitter disappointment, and I felt like " one ready to perish;" finally, however, Dr. B. yielded to my ear nest entreaties, and operated on both my eyes with such success, that I have ever since been enabled to go about as I please, and see better even by starlight than I did before at noon-day. I still remember with pleasure, although eleven years ago, the delight I experienced, when after having been denied for more than thirty five years the blessed light of the sun, I beheld the broad and cheerful glare of day. Even my knotty walking-stick that had so long guided my steps, shone in my eyes like the face of a familiar friend, and though poor and afflicted with infirm health, I felt that I had received a benefit, greater than the richest hoard of wealth could possibly bestow. It was Spring when I recovered sight; and first walked abroad with the swell ing joy of one released from a long and dreary impris onment, and often in the fullness of my heart I exclaim ed, " Truly this is a beautiful and joy-giving world." I I need scarcely remark, that I was treated with the greatest kindness whilst under Dr. Beckwith's care, . and owe him a debt of gratitude which I have no oth er means than these feeble expressions of my feelings ever to repay. But tor his benevolence and skill, I should to this day have been groping in darkness, with thote feelings of melancholy desolation, known only to the poor blind man. I am, Sir, respectfully, JOHN Y.

On the opening of business in the House on Satur day, Mr. Briggs moved for a reconsideration of the vote of Friday, providing for a reduction of 15 per cent, on the Public Printing,, as fixed in 1819.' He had voted for the resolution, he said, because there was no other before the House which he thought more deserving, But he afterwards discovered thai the terms of the res olution were general that it purported to change the prices of the Printing for Congress, and not for this House alone. He had strong doubts therefore whether the resolution was not a nullity, as this House could not regulate the price of Printing for Congress, that must be done by a joint resolution, with the concur rence of tha President. An additional reason was, he thought, as lower offers were made by responsible Printers, that one of those offers should be accepted. After calling the previous question and the yeas and ed. It appears that the award of the Kins of the 'Neth erlands, which made the river St John's the boundary between the two countries, is to be the basis of the new arrangement, and that as an indemnity to Maine for any supposed rights she may possess to land north of the t. Joan s, the British Government i to pay her 200,000, or about half a million of dollars. Most sincerely do we rejoice in this compromise not so much because it is, or is not, a good bargain in itseif, as because it removes a bone of contention which has long existed, and the right to which, each party has claim ed with so much confidence, that it is impossible to say when or how the affair could be amicably adjusted. It would ill become us to object to the arrangement said to have been agreed on, since a reference to our files will show that it is exactly the arrangement that we rec o nmend-'d, save that we did noispec.fy the amount which England ought to pay to Maine by way of compromising her claims to the lands relintpuished. Doubtless despatches have come forward by the British Queen, which will apprise our Government of the precise posture of the negotiation ; but we trust it will be found not far different from what is indicated above. In any view of the case, all danger of a war, grow ing out of this protracted controversey, is at an . end. Had we a Tory Administration to deal with, the case might be different. N Y.

Mr. Serjeant, from the Judiciary Committee, re ported the bill from the Senate, with an amendment, to extend the several acts now in force for the relief of insolvent debtors to the U. States.
