WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE. From the Washington Correspondent of the Bal ^ tinore Patriot. One of the most interesting spectacles of the day was the meeting of the-President and the Heads of Department in the Senate Chamber, previous to their marching in form into the Hall of the House of Representatives. There, if you remember, he and his Cabinet were invited,— with the members of the Foreign Legations that are now in this city, of whom by the way, there were but few present, and among the absentees were M. Serurier, the French Minister, and 8ir Charles Vaughan, the British Minister. It so happened, curiously enough, that Jackson, Forsyth. Woodbury, Dickerson, Cass, Barry and Butler, were fionted as they sat in chairs close together, by Clay, White, Webster, Cal houn and Poindexter, all of whom were in an area not ten feet apart. Clay directly in front of Jackson, Poindexter and Calhoun not far off,— and J. Q* Adams but a little to the left, none of whom, you know, but White and Webster, are on speaking terms with the President. Old Jack son, with his bristled hair, peeped into the gal leries, and whispered with Forsyth, who was at his right hand. Clay sat as unconcerned—with the exception of a look somewhat prouder than usual,- as if he were telling a story in a circle of gentlemen. Father White seemed to be con templating the spectacle with a inusing-like as pect. Calhoun was whispering with Buchanan, to pass tne awkward time. Poindexter looked things unutterable. Benton ;wit in his chair, as usual, plotting mischief,—and opposite him, on the other side, was Isaac Hill, who for a moment had suspended hiseverlasting scribhlingto chuck the fingers of both hands into his mouth, as he threw himself back into his chair «o witness the show. And then there was little Martin, whom 1 must not forg-t, in the Vice President’s chair, smirking arid smiling, with that self-satisfied face, which no description can paint, but which is as descriptive of his character as any thing can possibly be. In this awkward p isition, thus crowded together, face to fate, these very great friends sat for twenty minutes or more, in a si lence unusually great in the Senate Chamber. as all the spectators vtho commonly make the noise, were in the Hall of the House, securing seats before the Orator of the day came from the Senate._ The following remarkable and interesting fact is extracted from a recent publication, entitled ‘ Letters to a gentleman in Germany, written af ter a trip from Philadelphia to Niagara,'*—the work of an impartial, intelligent, and very ob serving foreigner, who has resided among us for a few years past:— “ CA*ca[in New York] is remarkable in the his tory of civilization; for when she was made a city, in 1332, an express prohibition against li censing shops for retailing ardent spirits was in serted in her charier—a restriction made, prob ably f*r the first time in the history of the world though temperance societies existed as eaily as the middle ages.”_ Mr. Taylor, the author of Philip Van Artevel de, is one of the clerks in the Colonial Office. In the olden time, a poet would have made but a sorry clerk; but it is said that Mr. T. is not only one of the most efficient in talent but one of the most hardworking men in the es'abli*hment of the Colonial Offi e. DlEU On the 29th Decemher. 1S31 at bis residence in the county of Shenun loan. (Va ,) \\ illiam Steexbekgkk. Jr. aged 42 years. IIis acquain tance in Western Virginia was very general, and wherever known had won the esteem of all. by his social and cheerful manner, by that love of justice and exercise ol humauti'y which in fluenced him in all his transactions. Perhaps the predominating trait of his character was. that though of warm and quick temperament, yet was there in his composition such a contin ued flowing of the milk of human kindness as most instantly to blot out all recollections of unkindness or resentment. He lived and died, as the writer believes, without an enemy. His death created a shock throughout the county in which he lived. The love borne him by hi* neighbors was testified during his illness by their crowding to his house, eagerly inquiring of his fate, and demanding to be employed in any manner that could do him good; the deep-felt sorrow for his loss, and the respect in which they held him memory, by the many who attend ed and performed for him the last sad offices of humanity. |tp-Our advertising custonieis are request ed, during the session of Congicss, to send in their advertisements at as early an hour in the day as practicable.
