° Some men are said never to dream, and

pr. Beattie mentions a case of the latter de
scription. For many years before his death, Dr.
Jleid had no consciousness of ever having
dreamed; and Mr. Locke takes notice of a per
5011 who never did so till his twenty-sixth year,
when he began to dream in consequence of
having had a fever. It is not impossible, howe

^Dreams occur more frequently in the morn

ihit the sleep is much more profound in the lat
ter period than in the former. Towards morn
in* the faculties, being refreshed by sleep, are
more disposed to enter into activity: and this
explains why, as we approach the hours of
waking, our dreams are more fresh and vivid.
Owing^to the comparatively active state of the
faculties, morning dreams are the more ration

^Children dream almost from their birth; and
if we may judge from what, on many occasions,
they may endure during sleep, we must suppose
that the visions which haunt their young minds
are often of a very frightful kind. Children,
from many causes, are more apt to have dreams
nf terror than adults. In the first place, they
are peculiary subject to various diseases, such
teething, convulsions, and bowel complaints,
those fertile sources of mental terror in sleep;
and, in the second place their minds are ex
ceedingly susceptible of dread, in all its forms,
and prone to be acted on by it, whatever shape
it assumes. Many of the dreams experienced
at this early period, leave an indelible impres
sion on the mind. They are remembered in af
ter-years with feelings of pain; and, blending
with the more delightful reminiscences of child -
hood, demonstrate that this era, which we are
apt to consider one varied scene of sunshine and
happiness, had, as well as future life, its shadows
of melancholy, and was not untinged with hues
of sorrow and care. The sleep of infancy,
therefore, is far from being that ideal state of fe
licity which is commonly supposed. It is haunt
ed with its own terrors, even more than that of
adults; and, if many of the visions which peo
ple it are equally delighftul, there can be little
doubt that it is also tortured by dreams of a more
painful character than often fall to the share
of after-life.
In health, when the mind is at ease, we seldom
dream; and when we do so our visions are gen
erally of a pleasing character. In diseases, espe
cially of the brain, liver, and stomach, dreams
are both common and of a very distressing kind

ALEXANDRIA:
THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 22, 1834.
From Jamaica.—By the politeness of Capt.
Wilson, of the schooner Palestine, at this port
from Jamaica, we have received a file of Jamai
ca papers to the 1st instant. Every thing was
quiet, and the papers contain no news of impor
tance. _
Our columns are occupied, to-day, with the
details of the highly interesting Foreign Intelli
gence received by yesterday’s mail. Our ex
tracts are made from the New York Commer
cial. Several articles prepared for this day’s
Gazette are necessarily excluded.
Mr. Chinn has proposed, in the House of Re
presentatives, to set apart the 6th and 7th days
of next month for the consideration of District
business. We hope the resolution will pass, and
that Congress may act upon the just claims of
this portion of the District upon its local le
gislature.
The House of Representatives will adjourn
over to-day until next Monday. A great num
ber of the members have already left Washing
ton for Baltimore. The Hall will, in the mean
time, be well ventilated, the summer matting put
on the floor, &c. &c.
THE WEATHER.—The following is copied
from my Journal, and gives the range of the
mercury during the late untimely cold weather,
viz: May 13th, from 8 A. M. to 4 P. M., 45 to 53
degrees, fair, gale N. W., inclement atmosphere;
May 14th, 46 to 62 degrees, clear, frost and ice;
May 15th, 36 to 53 degrees, clear, gale N. E.,
earth frozen, at sunrise 34; May 16th, 43 to 56
degrees, clear, N. E., at sunrise 38. The conse
quence is, tnat * run ana v egetaoies are eiuier
seriously injured or totally destroyed. A change
for the better has since gradually taken place—
for instance, May 17th, 57 to 66 degrees; May
18th, 62 to 72 degrees; May 19th, 67 to 76 de
grees; May 20th, 71 to 79 degrees; May 21st, 75
to 80 degrees. From the 17th to the 21st, the
weather has been hazy, and the atmosphere sul
try and oppressive. M.
In the House of Representatives yesterday,
Mr. Horace Everett, from the Committee on In
dian Affairs, made a Report, to which so much
importance is attached, as that 10,000 extra co
pies of it were ordered to be printed for the use
of the House. It was accompanied by three
bills, all of them important, viz: a bill to provide
for the organization of the Department of In
dian Affairs; a bill to regulate trade and inter
course with the Indians Tribes, and to preserve
peace on the frontiers; and a bill to provide for
the establishment of the Western Territory
(West of Missouri,) and for the security and pro
tection of the emigrant and other Indian Tribes
therein.—Nat. hit.

Mr. Clay gave rise to an interesting and ani

in which Messrs. Wright, Webster, Forsyth, j
