The groa'est blessing which (J.cagrosa ceuld confer upon the people would be, to adjourn. Either there is no duty for members of the house to pcriorm, or they will not perform it—arid in either case, he expense of their remaining in Washington would bo belter saved. It would ha a wise and leiiefioial act, to restrict both so-sions w! Con gress to the fourth of March, us there would then be some chance of having the public bu siness done. Congress has already been in sex. siou nearly two months and a half, and what has been done? There has been a great out pouring of wind on the Oregon question, and that is about the amount of labor which lias been performed; and that could have been o ,nitted with advantage to the people, as about nine-tenths of lite speech s made were for ••Buncomb" and not for the public servico.— The house lias determined to give the Notice t i Groat Britain- that is one act—and we suppose that a rnajoiity of the members have undo up tfir-ir minds that our lute to the whole of Oregon is good, because God gave the command to "increase and multiply and subdue he ea;iit;" and yet these members will be in ecstacies should a compromise be effect ed by our yielding one half of the territory t-- Grout Britain; lor we will venture to ac-.<rt, that, however they may have insisted upon having "tho whole of Oregon or none," there is not a man of thorn who ever expects that we shall obtain otto fool of land beyond the 49th parallel of North latitude—not even Mr. Allen >1 the Senate, one of the greatest braggarts a mungsl those who brawl for "tbe whole oi < Jregon or none." THIE TAIUKK. According to u statement co pied into our paper yesterday, tho Secretary of th 'Treasui v calculates, that the revenue which w !! accrue from tlru tariff bill he has framed, will amount to about tivonty-two iniLions of dollirs; but we tlniili it probable that this is an orer-estimate. Supposing, however, that it ho correct, tho sum received will be insufficient to defray tho ordinary expenses of government — and how are extra appropriations for tho in crease of the navy, for the erection of fortifica tions, SLI. to be paid? By tho issue of treasury liol'. a, by loans, or by dire t taxation? This point, should bo understood, especially if the navy is to bu put up in the war establishment It is evident, th it, from the proposed reduction of duties, tlio Secretary of the i reasury can have no apprehension of war, however gloomy liio prospect may appear—and it has been sug gested, that E igl.tnd, much as she is abused by members of Congress and oilier.s, is to be con ciliated, by placing the duties so lotv as to give futi employment to her manufacturers and ine chanics, whilst our own will he lift destitute. vVhutevcr may bo tlio duiign, such will be tire result; but as it is a result which will have been produced by tho action of tho people them selves, wo do not know that any particular ceir sure should attach to out rulers, who arc only carrying out tho expressed will of the country. If the protective policy is to bu abandoned, tue present may bo as favorable as any other period to effect the object. Let our manufacturing establishment* be crushed, and our mechanics and laborers be thrown out of employment, if it be. the will of tho inajniity—and then, when people feel tho effects of the free trade system, they will possibly require another change of policy, arid a permanent protective taritf. It is likely that the bill of the Secretary of the Treasury will be carried through the House of Representatives, as every thing else is now carried, by the discipline of party, although tlio representatives from Pennsylvania may oppose it. It will produce ruin to thousands, anil prostrate business generally—but even this is preferable to the pe.rpetu tl agitation of the sub ject. Tho people are pleased with change and novelty, and must bo indulged, even if it be to their own detriment. We are a dissatisfied people; and when most prosperous appear to be most discontented. Wo tried a low taritf, and writhed in agony under its operation. We changed it for a protective tat iff, and have been biessed with prosperity and abundance—with it restoration of public credit and private confi dencc—with a full treasury and a sound cur rencv. Are wc contented? No: wo are more dissatisfied than when the national treasury was bankrupt; the currency depreciated; labor scar-re; prices low; and the means of subsist ence difficult to obtain. We arc satiated vvit.i the blessings which have boon showered upon us, and seek once more to make the experi ment which heretofore brought upon us dismay and ruin. We must be gratified in our desire; for, if wo have derived so little benefit from experience, it is proper that we should have a repetition of it. If we thus bring misery upon ourselves, we shall at least have tho consolation to know, that wo are contributing to the com fort and happiness of European workmen. FIRE AND LOSS OK LIFE. On Saturday night last the Vicksburg City Hospital was entirely destroyed by fire, and sn Indian squaw and a negro woman who were sleeping in the kitchen of the hospital, which ivns also burnt, perished in the flames. MARINE LOSSES. Tho losses of tho Boston Marino Insurance Companies, during tire last year, amounted to $210,000. By tho ship Hamlet alone, lost a couple of weeks since on the pausago to Now Orleans, the losses a mounted to $198,000; aod on the ship Sural, $91,000.

May haw, l'resident of the Farmers' and Planters Bank, reversing the derision of the Court, be low, and ordering a procedendo. This ease, involved the question whether the Logislalu re has power to require the Presidents ot the to vera I incorporated Banks tit this Slate, to with hold from the dividends of tho stockholders the tax imposed hy tho State on their respective stick. The decision of the Court is in favor of such power, and that it was rightfully exer cised in tiro law requiring the Presidents of the Banks to do to. t)iumm .

Tho water power to bo bad here is estimated to be capable of driving 800 Lactones, affording a j Jiving to a population of lull 1,000,000 people. 1 voir PUN HENCE or YUCATAN. Capt. Fins !

Tho Boston Mail slates that a last sailing cilppor buiit schooner s tiled from Portland, on Tuesday evening, for Liverpool. Sins was chartered from tho owners by Mr. Pakonharn, the Bii lish Minister at Washington, and carried out j despatches from him by a special Messenger, j who I'tt Washington with thein on Friday i evening. j TIIE MYSTERIOUS VOYAGE. .Speculation is I still rtfo as to the object of the voyage of the [pilot boat Bonier. It lias been clearly ascer tained that "a man with a glazed hat and box coat" went out in her, but whether he carried despatches to England, or lias got possession of "litem papers"that Mr- Paine, "the great shot at," had in his hands, is still a quoslort involved in much doubt. LIBERATION. Horace King, a negro slave, | has been emancipated by the Legislature of | Alabama, by special enactment. His owner . had, it is said, often refused the sum of $16,- I 000, and urged the passage of the act. King ' was a very intelligent tnan, arid constructed a bridge at Wetumpka, lor which he has been thus rewarded. SAIIIIATII CONVENTION. The friends of the Sabbath in the District of Columbia, have is sued an address calling a convention to lie held ! in the city of Washington on tho 24th inst. at the First Presbyterian Church, to adopt mea sures fur the more strict observance of the day. STICK A PIN THERE. In Waterbury, Conn., there is a pin machine which makes eight mil lions of pins each day! CITY INTELLIGENCE. Exlennun of the Bel-*tir Market. There was j a talk some time since of extending the Bel- Air market lion-e, in order to accommodate ' the citizens and country people who resort there for the purpose of buying and sell ng produce, &c. Latterly, the subject appears to have died away, but we think that those who aro immediately interested should now, that tho Councils are in session, take some further movement in the matter, and bring the bene fits and advantages which would result from ' such an extension to the people of that por tion of the city, directly bi lore the corporato authorities. The increased population of this section, requires that the market house should lie enlarged, and there appeals to be no mure propitious time than at tbe present, i Jiccidcnt. On Thursday night, about nine o'clock, a man, who-e name we could not as certain, accidentally lell over the wall at the I Pratt street Bridge, over the Harford Bun, | breaking bis arm, and otherwise severely injur -1 ing himself. Suveial gentlemen, who were I passing, saw the accident and assisted the per -1 son from his unpleasantsituation. Ha wasen abledfalier a short time, to pioceed on bis way homo, in company witlt a gentleman. — We suppose alter u lew necks are broken, and I a few more trifling accidents take place, that ' some philanthropic society will go to work and place a railing along the Run, to keep pursuits from walking overboard in tho datk. L*ok Out C.irl! I| to last evening Bom 1500 to 2000 Valentines had reached the city post office. lu some eases 10 or 15 were di rected I> a single dwelling. So look for tho carriers to-day. The City Despatch Post also had a largo t.umber. St. Valentine's Day. We presume it is un necessary to remind the young and gay thai the 14i.1i of February, 1846, is the anniversary of the day sacred to the patron saint of sigh nig swains and love-lorn maidens. Of the origin and history of this festive day of Cupid it is not our intention to speak. Suffice it to say that the diy lias arrived, and that it be hoove- all iv ho are interested in observing and perpetuating its inn > enl and time-honmed oust -to embrace the opportunities which ii yr -outs ere it piss into o ihvion with days and years that were but ar--not. Already are the younger filks prepared to celebrate its return by sond ng their love-missiles through the Post Office and the Despatch Post to all iju irters ot til" city, and the booksellers and others, in an ticipation of this event, have procured groat; ntiuibers of valentinos of every size, shape and j en! >r, and of every elrtracier from the ludi-) cruus lo the sentimental. The ladies in parti-1 ; cular will no doubt uvail themselves of their , exemption from the icstraint wliieh custom on j olhei occasions throws around them; and, I though it ia ordinarily their province to bo > wooed arid won, t.liey are to-day privileged to woo and win; and wo express llie sincero hope . that tilcy may be successful in subduing the obdurate hearts of their dilating swains, and j bringing them to terms of matrimonial annex- L I alien. (livery body knows the ladies go for [ | annexation—to a man.) And as for the gen tlemen, may they no longer heave the secret' I sigh, and may they obtain hearts to beat in ' J unison with their own. Of the prose and' . poetry, good arid bad, and of the sentimentali ties and soft nonsense which w ill compose the ; bullion of these "billets deux," of course it ! . becomes us not to speak. Hut seriously speak-1 . uig, we cherish these old customs, and Imlievc 1 . 1 Ibey are promotive of human happiness, be cause they connect u.- with the past and speak of youth and liopo and love. They serve to ' | softy II the asperities ol our nature, and to pro rJ servo the kindly sensibilities of 1 lie heart, . | which too soon become blunted by contact : with the nmtler-of-llict world. To nil, then, I ! we say, prepare, m d send your valentines, and I may you live to tee many happy returns of 11 Valentine's Day. Mult High School. It will he perceived by tlie pioceedmgs of ilia City Council, that Dr. ' | Collins, chairman of the committee on 1:1 luca i : t:on, has made a report against the memorial r ' to confer collegiate powers on the High school. .; The report is an argument against mcmorializ : iog the Lienor il Assembly to give collegiate '! powers, as this would inquire a charter; and by i j making a corporation within a corporation, . j would, of nocossily, take some power or coii j trol over the school from tho Council. An or | diriitme was presented by Dr. Colli.a, along ,; with tho repoit, which confers on the School j Commissioners power to give tho pupils testi ■'! nionials, engraved oil copper, &c., precisely us' , j tlicy do in the High school of Philadelphia.— 11 The ordinance also confers tho same power as j regards the female High school. !

The suaie officer arrested Matilda Woods and i Thomas Heard, on the charge of threatening f personal injury lo Eliza Heard. They were 1 held to bail lo keep the peace. Throwing Stones. Officer Pumphillion yes- terday arrested Josiali Rosenburg, Geo. Smith, I Geoigo Slaughter, Peter Slaughter, George l r Tarrin, Grim Tarrin, and Edward Albuck,on " the charge of throwing stone at the house of l one Mrs. Matthews, on tho corner of Howard 4 and Leo streets. They were lined $1 and costs each, by Justice Sliovvacre.
