livered at VVashington on the 4th inst. We

while it is noble and dignified, and affords a
singular and striking contrastjto the unmean-
ing speech which is delivered in the House
of Peers on theoccasionof a new sovereign
coming to thethrone. The address carries
its own comment. and therefore requires no
observations from us; but we recommend to
our readers an attentive perusal of it-, feelino

of all revelations in nature, an exhibition of
the sea would possess the»r‘n'ost- t'hri'l.ling in-
terest. Vffere we permitted to explore but
one untraversed realm, we should prefer that
vast empire of curiosities, which lie within
and beneath the ocean. How little do we
known of it! Vie catch a luckless fish and
classify it, because it has fins like something
which we have seen before ; we draw tip a
lobster, and because he has wide cliws, de-
termine that he may either crawl or swim,‘
we detach a bit of coral from its low mound
or tree, and because it has cells, decide that
some insect-bee ofthc water must have form-
.ed it; or we pick tip a few shells, which the
returning tide has left on the beach as un-
worthy of its care, and because they are not
found on the roofs of our houses, declare
them most rare curiosities. Thus ends our
knowledge, butnotour pride and prattle; fol’
those who can utter the_tnost_ absurdities a.
bout these strange things, are dubbed philos-
ophers; and the world is ex ected to do ho-
mage to the depth oftheir fl.-arning. I-low

, THE SENATE UNEQUAL, ,
On the ljegi‘slatui"e of this state about to
convene, according to the Constitution, de-
volves the duty of equalizing the Senate.-
That instrunient provides that this body
shall be composed of not less than 16 nor
more than 24'menibers; that no county shall
be entitled to less than two Senators, and, so
far as consistent with this provision, the
number from each county shall be propor-
tioned to the population , that in forming sena-
torial districts, no town shall be divided, and
that the Legislature, at its first session after
the completion of a U. S. census, may regu-
late the apportionment. If they neglect their
duty at the coming session, no change may be
made till after the completion ofthc next
census. .
On the princples of the constiution, and
on every principle ofcqual representation,
Hartford County_ is entitled to an additional
Senator. Should the Senate be increased to
24. the other two members belong to Fair-
field and New Havenfcourities. Under the
present Constitutional provisions, exactlv
equal representation is only attainable by
providing for the fractions. This may be
done by fixing upon certain years in which
certain districts shall be entitled to two Sen
ators. In this case, it may not be necessary
to alter the boundaries, or number of the dis-

borcil. this week with any "of the workings oflour
brains. Our engagements in the manual labbr
depart ment ofthe office,havebeen altogeihertoo
pressing to admit of a moment's devotion ~ to
writing. Few. probably, are aware of the a-
mour of labor which devolves upon us. I Corn-
pelled by a rigid necessity to keep our expenses
down by the employment of a. limited number
of hands. jiisteutfit-ient to perform the ordinary
labor of the otlice, the principal weight of an
emergency, or unusual quantity ofjobhing falls
upon our shoulders, and is disposed of only by
incessant toil.
For the last ten or twelve days,
therefore, our situation has been little better
than tltat of a glalley slave. Under these cir-
cuinstaeces our readers will have generosity
enough to extend to us a little indulgence.
