Congrcss.--On.tiiQ 27th uit. another ineffectual attempt was made in the House of Represen tatives, "to fix and recommend the day on which the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall adjourn the present session of Congress" the House refused to consider the resolution, yeas 78, nays 87. The discussion of the Tariff will probably occupy seve ral weeks, if not months, to come; unless the small pox should start the members oft' in a hurry. On the 25th, Mr. HALL hav ing obtained the consent of the House, offered the following re solution: Resolved, That the Committee for the District of Columbia, be instructed to inquire into the pro priety of taking effectual mea sures for checking the further progress of a contagious disease, known to exist within the pre cincts of the corporation of Wash ington, whether this disease be as it is sometimes called varioloid, or real small pox. Mr. Hall said he had offered this resolution in consequence of the statement published this mor ning, as to the existence of vario loid in the city. His object was to authorize the committee to act, so as to carry the powers of the corporation beyond the city. He had learned that there are five or six cases of small pox, and that it was contemplated to take a house for the reception of the infected, near the capitol. Mississippi. A deficit in the Treasury of the state of Missis sippi, of five or six thousand dol lars has been discovered The committee of accounts have tak en possession of the Treasurer's negroes and other property, to se cure the state against any loss. ,&lffn Onondaga liN.

We have neither foreign nor domestic news of in terest to lay before our readers to day. 1 he last arrival from Liv erpool was in such quick time, (to use a racing phrase,) that it is probable some weeks may yet elapse ere further advices shall come to hand. Pet. Int. Died, in Hertford countv, a fliorttimo since, Col. William I). Britt. The cause of his death was apparently trivial; after wash ing his hands he took a towel to 'fry them, in which a needle was stuck, without his perceiving it, which entered the back ofMiis imnd, giving him, however, but Mle pain. The next day his hand inflamed, and the inflamma tion and swelling extended up his arm. lie died on the 9th day, " it is said there was no morti hcation nor tetanus. AW. Res. FOR THE FREE PRESS. Mr. Editor: Observing in your last paper Sambo's account of the origin of the white man, 1 pre sume it may be interesting to vmir readers to see Ned's account of the negro. Ned took for his text: Can dc Eshioshcan whiten dc shin. Now, bredren, I spose you like to know how de niggar cum upon dis ere poor bad worldand now I tell you.

Now de Debil he stan a little way oft', and see how God make de white man; and he tho't he try if he could make one pretty as de one God made; but lie has no white clay, so he no in- I to de swamp and make one of brack mud, and he stuck some curly moss on he head forde hair, and when he got him all done he stan back and look at him, and he look so brack and dirty dat de Debil git mad and up wid he fist and knock him against de nose and kicked he shin and go oft and leave him de brack man live, but he nose always llat and he shin always crooked arter. oo&A-Pi!H rig on thi 301ft this Month. , fcw j.v.H ij UJO Kill 1UU1C day night after the last Sabbath in April, and Tuesday following. -Com.
