necessity of preserving a perfect silence.
Hardly lia-'l she looked around her, and no-
tcd a large unoccupied chair covered Wlth
crimson cloth, upon the dies at the pppcr
end of the hall, when a priest closely cowled,
glided in, and took his station in a corner of
the place.
She saw not his face, but shefell that the
priest was Father Francis. All at once the
groups of officers and knights, who were
sauntering, gossiping, through the hall,
became silent, and placed themselves round
the unoccupied chair—there was a moment’s
pause, and a portly man with a broad, stern
face, decorated with a peaked beard, walked
into the Iltill. His doublet was richly
adorned, and at his belt he carried a short
poinard. This was King Henry V111.
Tlirowiiig himself carelessly into the
chair prepared for him, he said, in a deep
stern voice—'Bring forth the prisoner, and
let the accuser likewise appear.’
There was a short bustle——'a heavy door
creaked upon its hinges. and MaLel’s heart
swelled within -her. and her limbs trembled,
as she saw Mark Huntley, bound, led before
the king. Brita second look partly re-as-
sured her. His cheek was pale; and there
was in the firmness of his step, and the proud
glance of his eye, the mighty strength of
conscious innocence. Opposite to him stood
Captain _VVyclianime-—his eye bloodshot
and his hand trembling; and many who
carefully scanned the countenances of the
two, turned toward each other, and whisper-
cd that the accuser looked more guilty than
the accused.
‘Captain Wyckliamme,’ said Henry, ‘this
man was found asleep upon his post?’
‘I deeply grieve to say it, my liege,’ an-

‘but such is the fact. On going my rounds

‘Prisoner, what sayest thou to the charge ?’
demanded Henry. -

makes it knows it is a lie! exclaimed Mark

CONGRE SSIONAL.
MONDAY Feb. 24.
The friends of the Senate bill for reducing
the rates of postage, cime to the House, to-
day, with a determination to push the bill
through at once.
It was taken up by a vote of I40 to 28.
The bill was opposed by Mr. Hopkins, of
Va. and supported briefly, by Mr. Rathbun
of N. Y.
A motion was made to limit the debate to
2 o’clock, it being then halfalter one.
The opponents of the bill asked a longer
time, and sziidthey would not be gagged in
this way.
They resorted to the usual expedient of
calling the yeas and nays on vexatious mo-
tions to a.djou7'7i, to call the House, &.c.
Finally, a resolution was passed, by a
bare majority,-to put a stop to all debate on
the subject, after two hours.
Mr. Carey. of Me. voted in the majority,
with a view to move a reconsideration. He
argued that the gag ought not to be applied
to so important a measure. He was in favor
of some modification ofthe present system,
but not of such a one as would throw the
whole postage tax on the consumption ofthe
country.
Mr. Hamlin said he was in favor of no
measure that would Slddle the Post Office
Establishment on the Treasury; and he did

it desired that we should render the trans-
portation of letters a source of revenue, to
be expended on other objects? This would
be a tax on the diffusion of intelligence.
But we had an experiment before us, in Eng-
land, showing that cheap postage afforded
revenve enough and more than enough to
defray the expenses of the Establishment,
while it quadrupled the number of letters
transported.
Mr. Payne of Ala. opposed the bill.

ate, and Mr. McDuffie took the floor.
He had risen, he said. from a sick bed,
and though in great pain, he was anxious to
ken.
The question had turned upon the point
whether there was constitutional power to
admit new States, from without the territory
of the United States, and he went on to pre-
sent some very ingenious views on this sub-
ject, shewing the absurdity of such a con-
struction.
Mr. Allen took the floor for to-morrow,
and the Senate adjourned at half-past seven.
TUESDAY, Feb. 25.
In the Senate Mr. Barrow, from the com-
mittee on Commerce, reported a bill to ex-
tend Morse-’s Telegraph from Baltimore to
New York. .

Mr. Allen spoke in favor of the measure, ta-
king a view of its military and commercial
advantages. — ’ ‘
Great Britain wanted nothing but Cuba
and Texas to complete her project of agran-
dizeinent. If she took Cuba itwould invoki-
a twenty years’ war. \Ve would be obliged
to declare war against her the next day,—
The people would defllsillfl it. It would be
a war of destruction to one party or the oth-

, The commerce and manufacture-s,and nav-
igation of our country, were vitally identi-
fied with the acquisition of Texas. It was
wonderful that New England should be op.
posed to it. Her maxim was. Perish com-
merce. perish manufactures, perish naviga-
tion, rather than extend the nigger line 200
miles further. The nigge-r’s and the British
was the whole interest that came within the
compass of her patriotism and intelligence.

8 o'clock, P. M.-—The House has adjour-
ned, after a hard action upon the Post Office
bill.
For nine hours, every parliamentary trick
was resorted to for the purpose of defeating
the will of the people, and of a majority of
the House. -
The result was, tlzat an amendment was
agreed to, providigg that the act shall take
eflect on the let of July, instead of from and
after its passage.
Another uinendment, by a small majority,
was agreed to, fixing the rate of postage for
distances over 300 miles, at 10 cents. Some
unimportant amendments were made.
The House when out of committee. pass-
ed a resolution directing that the bill and
amendments should be brought to the direct
vote of the House, without debate. The
House then adjourned.
In the Senate after the recess, Mr. Berri-

The House, to-day, concurred in two of
the amendments made. by the coniinittee to
to the Post Office bill—one fixing the time
for the Act to take effect on July 1 ;the other
providing that for distances over 300 miles
the rate of postage should be ten cents. The
latter amendment was agreed to, yeris H0

The Harbor and River bill was taken up
and was made a stalking-horse for speeches

In the Senate. the general appropriation
bill was reported with a number of amend-
merits.
Mr. Miller of N. J. spoke for three hours
against the annexation measure.
The Senate then took a recess till half
past five.
In the evening session, Mr. Bagby made
a speech against the joint resolution from the
House, to the surprise of many.
He opposed the measure as ineffective to
its object, but was strongly in favor of Mr.

Mr. Bates followed at length.

heirs of one James Partrick, all of “ hich
property in the course of years got into and
now stands in the hands of a vari--ty of own»-

fiscated, it was said, and each proprietor con-
ceived his title therefore a good one. A decis-
