could-a boy suffering all this-be so full of
nothing to do but to look out that she did
not scald her fingers in doing the honors
of the breakfast table, while her father,
making the most of his advantage, pressed
her most unmercifully. The real truth
was, that the report of Dr. Hcnry’s case,
in which Dr. Gregory had been _so much
absorbed, was a most interesting one,
skillfully treated, and reported in a man-
ner which showed the young man to be a
master ofhis profession, and it most excel-
lent practitioner. Helen had shrcwdness
enough to perceive that her father was in
excellent mood as regarded her wishes and
hopes, and therefore rather courted than
deprecated his mirth. She was, therefore
more disappointed than pleased when her
father changed the subject, by saying to
his wife: ‘Well, my dear, did you miss
any spoons, yesterday 1’ This question
answered in the negative, the Doctor con-
tinued : ‘Then, unless little Pat considers
our basket worth more than any thing he
would be likely to get here to-day, he will
come back this morning.
‘To be sure he will come,’ said Mrs.Dr.
Gregory.
‘Well—perhap=s—’ said the Doctor, pre-
tending to have his doubt. Knowing that
all womankind are more or less inclined
to contradiction, the Doctor cunningly
took care that their negatives should sup-
port the affirmative he wished to reach.-
Betty here announced that the young gen-
tleman was already below stairs.
‘Give him some breakfast, Betty, said
the Doctor, and then send him up. ‘Now
you see,’ said: the Doctor, turning to his
daughter, ‘that little Pat is deep. He
th-rowsa-sprat to catch a shad. He will
keep’ orr till he gets for enough into your
cor-iifirderrce to steal something worth while.’
‘You hard-hearted old gentleman,’ said
Helen, ‘how can you be so uncharitable!
He knows that honesty is the best policy.’
‘He will come to the gallows, in the
end,’ said the Doctor, winking to his wife
to observe how their daugbter’s fine face
lighted up with the excitement of contra-
diction.
‘He will come to a fortune, and own a
whole square!’ retorted Helen.
‘So-so,’ said the Doctoi. ‘Good, so.—
And I’ll tell=yc.-u what, my pretty prophet-
ess. 1 known you believe what you pre-
dict, and I’ll make you a promise on the
credit of your own faith. You shall marry
this young Dr. Henry, or Harry, or what-
ever his name is, whenever Pat has a house
to let you 3’
And the happy father laughed immoder-
ately at his own wit. His wife joined-
and Helen, though she rose from the table,
and pretended to be angry, could not help
joining them too. Before she could reply
Betty announced a caller. It was one of
the Doctor’s tenants, and he directed that
he should be shown up. He was the lessee
of several large houses, in a poor part of
the city, which the Doctor hardly saw
once in a year, and could not point out
without a guide. His lease was about ex-
piring, and he called to obtain a renewal,
but wished it on diminished terms, as he
said there was a prospect that certain con-,
templated city improvements would ruin
the property.
‘So-o,’ said the Doctor, ‘at linrd improve-
ment that. They pay me little more than
the taxes, now, and if they are improved
at that rate,I shall be made a begger with
them. I must look into this :1 little, sir.’
The house you live in is mine, and your
landlord is my tenant——’
‘Then, I hope,’ said Pat, ‘he’s a better
tenant than landlord!’
‘VVell, he tells me that yesterday, you
lied him down that you hadn’t a dollar in
the world—’ _
‘Lied him down! Sure it was the bless-
ed truth, sir!’ ‘
‘But he says he threatened you with the
House of Refuge, and that this morning
your mother found money to pay the rent
in full. Now you must either have had
this money,'or—l am unwilling to say it
--you must have stolen it since, for he
says you are very poor.’
‘Ab, look at him. your honor! Think
of this bacltbiter once! He knows I am
poor, he says——and he threatens we with
the House of Refuge for not paying my
mother’s rent, and perhaps he didn’t tell
you of that, but he tould me I might as
well have begged money as shoes, and
abused me for the very Lindness which
your lady had for me! And then he says
I stole the money, and still he put it in his
own pocket, without a tear!’
‘Patrick, you have made the case bad
for your accuser, but you liavn’t helped
yourself yet. Tell me honestly—where
did this money come from 1’
‘It was loaned to me, sir.’
‘Loancd!’ And the Doctor smiled at
what seemed a new evasion.
‘Yes, sir,’ said Pat, proudly, ‘loaned.-—
May be_you think the impudent little black-
guard has no friends, but there’s a God
above, sir, who remembers the widow and
the fatlicrless, and he sent an angel to us
when we were all in the sorrow. The
man that loaned Pat Murphy five dollars
—four for the rent, and one to buy papers
-and here it is,’ said Pat, as he showed
it—-‘tliat man knows that Pat Murphy will
pay, if he leaves his body to the surgeons
to do it with. And it isn't the first good
thing he’s done, sir. Hi.-‘s come out of
his bed in the bitter night, time and again,
to sooth the pain of the poor who could
not give him fee or reward, and he’s put
his hand in his pocket, over and often, to
pay for the medicine and the food for the
dying man, when he knew he couldn’t live
so much as to thank liim—~thc blessings of
heaven fall on him for it! And now my
poor father is in heaven, and Dr. Henry
will one day meet him there--may it be a
long day off, for the good of the poor on
earth! Good morning, ladies, and you, sir
too, and when next you would play with
the poor, don’t put the farce before the
tragedy, sir, if ye please, sir, for that’s not
the way at the Bowery !"
Helen was in tears, and her mother in
silent amazement, at the little fellow‘s el-
oquencc. “Here, Pat, stop!“ shouted the
doctor, as the boy moved away. .
“It is more play you want sir ?“ asked
the boy turning half-round.
“Your name is M urpliy I And the doc-
tor’s is Henry—eh'!“
“Yes, sir.“
“Well, here,“ continued the Doctor, ta-
king up the Medical Examiner, “is your
father‘s case all printed.“
“I can read sir,” said Pat, proudly. “Don‘t
play with the bones of the dead, if you
please, sir i“
“No—-no-Patrick." said Dr. Gregory,
taking him kindly by the hand, and drawing
him to him. -
At this moment Pat made his appear-
ance at the door. Helen went to him, led
him to a farther window, and entered into‘
conversation with him. He looked like!
another boy this morning—liope and plea-'.
sure shone in his face, and his whole ap-
pearance was tidy and cheerful. The,
Doctor’s lessee soon took his leave, having
first conversed in an under tone a moment
or-two, with a frequent look toward poor}
Put. The Doctor’s countenance showed
that the lad had gained little in this inter-
view.
‘Now,’ said: tuhe_'Doctor, as Helen led the
lad to him. “Your name is Patrick, I be-
lieve 1%’ Pa-trick bowed. ‘I am very sorry,’.
the Doctor continued, ‘to learn that you
urc':i very bad, and avery impudent boy
-—though I might have guessed the last.’
Helen and Mrs. Gregory looked aston-
ished, and poor Pat, gathering a hope of
sympathy from their faces, said, as be hung
his head, and burst into ‘tears, ‘Sure that
will be news to my mother, wherever you
heard it l‘
‘Come, come, sir !’ said the Doctor, ‘no
more play with us-we've had enough. I
don't warit to condemn you unheard-—and
if you are deserving, I would do you good.
Your sharp answer will serve for an hour’s
amusement; but if you are, as I am told,
a very bad boy, you are a dangerous play-
thing; and if you can establish your char-
acter, I would do something more than
amuse myself witli- you, for, to tell the
truth, youilinve'int‘ercsted me very much.
Now answer me without evasion. What
have you ever done to maintain yourselfl’
-‘Isold the papers, sir.’
‘So. Yes-—tliat explains something.-—
VVhy don’t you sell them now l’
‘My father took sick, sir, and was very
bad-—.-and one day with another, sir, I spent
my little money, and lost my stand, sir,
and other boys got my customers, sir, and
my heart was gone, and my mother and
sisters were starving, and the rent was n't
paid, sir-—and the Lord save you and yours
from testing. the bitter cup 1’, _ ‘
Helen turned her head to brush away a
tear, and Dr. Gregory continued his ques-
tions, but in a tone more kind. ‘But how
fun and nonsense as you were yesterday,
and you would have been to-(lay, if every
thing had gone as you expected 1’
‘Ch, sir, there's at many ways in the wide

Pat shrewdly looked toward Helen, and
she blushed criinson.—“\-Ve shall inquire
about you. What rent. do you pay l”
“A dollar a week.”
“Fifty-two dollars a year.
rooms have you?”
“One, air."
“And how many tenants are there, in the whole ~
house?”
“Ten, sir, beside the corner grocery."
“So-o-0,” hummed the Doctor. “\Vliy, the
fellow gets more for that one house than he pays
me for three! And he wants me to reduce his
rent at that! Miserably must the poor be oppres-
sed hy such harpies !”
“True for you, sir,” said Pat-——"if' your honor
would take the house into your own hands!"
“I can't do that my boy," said the Doctor, I
inusin,,--‘‘Pat !” he said, at length, after a pause, ?
“how old are you?"
“Seventeen, come Easter."
“So. VVcll, I'll ask Dr. Henry about you,
And how many

in. You shall have it at the same price he pays
—on condition that you don't charge the others
more than enough to get your own part rent free,‘
and a fair price for the trouble in collecting.
And I'll not renew his lease for any oftliein,
neither. If you show yourself honest and capa-
ble, here’s an opening for a living for you.”
Pat's heels flewiuvoluntai-ily into the first po-
sition of another negro pa.s——but he blushed, hung
his head, stood still, and wept his thanks, while
even Dr. Gregory's eyes moistened. '
“Call hero to-marrow !”said the Doctor, wil-
ling to relieve his grateful cinbarrassmcnt.
“Patrick!” said Helen,” calling him back, “I
want a word with you. Have you a couple of
pleasant rooms in your house to let me?”
“Anan 5" said the boy, astonished.
"VV hat!" asked Dr. Gregory.
‘ “\Vhy, father 1'’ said Helen. “you certainly
have not forgotten your promise made this mor-
ning. that when Pat has a house to let, I may
be mai't'icd?”
“Oh. you baggage!" said the Doctor. “Well,
when one has a pill to take, the sooner it is off his
mind the better. Marry, as soon as your moth-
er can get you ready--for I see you are both of
a mind. But don't you go now and tell Dr.Henry

“Sure, Dr. Henry would never tell a lie to

“Get out; of the house, you little rogue,” said
the Doctor, “you've done in two hours what my

CONGRESSIONAL.
, NIONDAY, April .13.
In SENATE, to-day, a Message was re-
ceived from the President, in reply to Mr.
Clayton’s Resolution, stating that there is
no farther correspondence between the
British Government and ours on Oregon,
since the Correspondence relative to Ar-
bitration recently communicated.
Mr. Allen wished to have some day ap-
pointed for the termination, not of the
joint occupancy, but of the Oregon de-
bate. Hc stated also that when the vote
came to be taken he would withdraw the
Resolutions from the Committee on For-
eign Relations offered by himself,and sub-
stitute the Resolutions which passed the
House of Representatives.
Mr. Clayton’s Resolution, calling on the
I’res’t. for information relative to French
Spoilatioris prior to the Treaty of 1800,
was, after some explanation by Mr. Web-
ster, ado-p-ted.
On the suggestion of Mr. Webster, the
special order of the day was taken up.
Mr. Upliam being still confined in his
room by sickness, Mr. Huntington spoke in
favor of a qualified notice, leading to a
peaceful compromise. He spoke from
pretty full notes. Like everything which
the Hon. Senator says, it was straightfor-
ward and able.
The Senate soon after went into Exec-
utive session, after which they adjourned.
The HOUSE went into Committee of the
\lVhole on the Bill for extending the laws
of the United States over Oregon.
Mr. Adams addressed the House for an
hour in continuation of his views on Ore-
gon and our titl_e.
In conformation of his views formerly
given, be quoted Grotius, and referred to
Blackstone and other authorities, stating
that our title was derived from the first
chapter of Genesis, and that this author-
ized the Pope to grant savage lands to
Christian Nations. Our claim rested up
on Pope Alexander VI. of pious memory.
All claims rested on this, though we laugh
at the idea. He will speak again on this
subject on some other occasion.
Several other speeches were made.
TUESDAY, April 14.
In the SENATE, a few petitions were presen-
ted and other miscellaneous business transacted.
The Resolution for a new arrangement for
the accommodation of Reporters and Ladies in
the galleries was taken up.
The motion was then put and lost.
On motion of Mr. lltiiitiiigtoii the special or-
der of the clay was taken up.
Mr. \Vestcott; then addressed the Senate in
favor of our claims to Oregon from 42° to 545
40' North Latitude, with all the rivers, bnys,&c.
and the land drained by those rivers. Upon
this he proceeded to give his views. It: would
be very difficult to tell exactly what; position he
occupies. He goes against the Notice and leaves
us a little more ignorant than he found us as~to
his views on the subject before the Senate.
\Vhen he concluded, Mr. Houston, but a few
monthspsiiice the President of a Foreign Re-
public, took the floor, and will speak to-inorrow.
‘ The Senate went into Executive session, a
short time after which they adjourned. ,
In the Housia. Mr. Yancey, DTP. Daniel, and
others, rose to it personal explanation, (cries of
‘let us have no more personal cxplamttions.’)
On motion of Mr. I-Iurlson of Ga. the debate
on the Oregon Occiipatioii Bill, was ordered to
cease on Thursday at 2 o’clock. So we will
have a vote on Oregon in each House about the
same time.
The House then went. into Committee of the
\Vh:le on the Oregon Bill, Mr. Hamlin of Me.
in the chair.
Mr. F aran of Ohio thou addressed the Coin-
mittee on the bill.
He was followed by Mr. Tibbats of Ky. Mr.
Vintou of Ohio and Mr. Cobb of Ga.
The Committee having risen, Mr. McKay,
from the Committee of \Vays and Means, re-
ported the long-talked-of Tarill‘ Bill.
Mr. Stcwait of Pa. made a movement to have
it rejected at once, but the House in some con-
fusion adjourned.
\Vr;oNi~:sn.iv, April 15.
The special order of the day coming
tip, in the SENATE, Mr. Houston rose and
spoke nearly two hours. '
If the Minister only and not the Go.v-
ernment of England had rejected them,
we might pause, but England does not
propose to make any other offer. Eng-
land may not now be ready for war, and
may be playing with us to gain time.
England has proposed Arbitration but
not Negotiation. If we wait for the nods
and lieckspf England we may wait a long
time. If the measure is right, let us march
forward to our destiny whether England
smile or frown. Let us vindicate our
Nationality.
He believed that if Congress had acted
promptly on the recotiimendatipn of the
Executive, all would have been calm and
tranquil in England now.
He went on to make quite along speech
on an article in the London Sun, reading
short extracts and commenting on them.
He would not say whether he would‘
vote for 49° or 54° 40’, but if the propo-
sition of Mr. Gallatin, granting the naviga-
tion of the Columbia to England u as offer.
ed, he would not vote for it.
rather leave a vacant seat in this Seniiteg;
He preferred the naked Notice witliout
condition. He would not approach Eng-
land and say, “Mr. Premier, we would not
offend you, but we want to give the No-
tice. We bope we are free, but we dare
not exactly say we are freemen.” Mr.
-Houston spoke this with quite a theatrical
flourish, stooping forward at the word
Premier, and throwing himself back at the
word freemen.

t was the saying ofthe venerable Macon
of North Carolina, that a war was necces-
sary every thirty years. He would prefer
peace unless to vindicate a great principle;
yet he did not concur in the general opin-
ion of the evilsof war. It made even the
persons engaged iiiit better citizens after-
ward. _ . Y

I understand that Gideon \/Vells was
confirmed in his appointment to the office
of Chief of the Navy Bureau of Clothing.
The House this morning, reconsidered
the vote by which they limited the debate
on the Oregon bill, before them to‘.?.o’c.l’k
to-morrow They fixed the limit at the
same time on Friday.
The House then went into Committee
ofrhe Whole on the Oregon bill. Speeches
were made by Messrs Milton Brown of
Ten., Giles of Md., Seddon of Va., Gordon
of New York, «Soc.
Mr. J R. lngersoll obtained the floor,
\Vi1t‘l’l the Committee rose and the House
at half past 3 o’clock adjourned till to-
inorro\v.
It was expected all day to day that we
should have a Message from the President
in reply to Mr. Ingersoll’s Resolution, but
i‘:. did not come.
Titunsimv, April 16.
The SENATE after some unimportant
business passed to the consideration of
the special order.
Mr. Critteiiden proceeded to address
the Senate on the Oregon Resolutions.-—
He advocated the Notice; he thought that
we should meet the responsibility at once.
life had been negotiating under the Con-
vention for a long series ofyears, without
any pros_ ect of a settlement while it lasts.
But if the Notice_is given and the Trea-
ty abrogated, both parties will feel their
high responsibility to settle it. It would
be a disgrace to the age if we cannot set-
tle it amicably. It can be done amicably
if those having the management of it have
any claim to the name of Statesman. ’
The Notice is asked by the President.
Let us strengthen his hands. The respon-
sibility will bc upon him to settle it. peace-
ably. No party tie, no Baltimore Resolu-
tion, can screen him from scorn if he need-
lessly plunge us in a war.
Surely it would not now be disgraceful
for us to offer a compromise approved by
such patriots as Monroe and Gallatin, Atl-
ams and Jackson, and Clay. The Senator
from lllichigari (Cass) said he would go
for 5193 4-0’ but approved the prudence of
the President in offering ll-9°. If it was
prudent for the President to offer 49°, it
would not be imprudent for us to ratify ii
Treaty on that line.
He brought up Mr. Houston, who had
made the theatrical representation of our
bowing to “Mr. Preinier.” He assured
the gentleman that the flame of patriotism
burned as brightly in these bosoiris around
him as in his who had just returned to the
National brotherhood. He and his friends
around him would not yield to any or all
the Nations of the earth.
Mr. Crittenden concluded by saying
that he did hope fora peaceful termination
of this controversy. He hoped the No-
tice would facilitate this. He would be
for his country, right or wrong, but he
wanted to keep her right and to believe.
that she was always right.
Mr. Allen said he would not prolong or
re-open the debate by replying to the at-
tacks made upon himself more than upon
his positions.
He then moved that the Resolutions of
the Committee on Foreign Relations be,
laid on the table and that the House Res-
olutions bc substituted.
This was cniried without division.
Mr. ReVC'-.'(lyJOllnSCvIl moved substan-
tially Mr. Critlcndcn’s proposition without
the Proviso as an amendment to the House
Resolutions. _
Mr. Allen proposed an extract from the
President’s Message as an umendn'ient,de-
claring it expedient to extend our laws
over Oregon. After some discussion and
confusion on this point the Yeas and Nays
were ordered.
The yeas and Nays were called on Mr.
Allen’s amendment. They stood, yeas 2'2

OllEGON DISPOSED OF IN THE SENATE.—--
dcpriivcd issue was forced upon us by the Hart-‘
Mayor, Hon. V\TllllZ1l’l1 Parinlece, by the 2 The debate in the Senate of the U. S. on the
splendid majority of 600, and 1+ out of the
.Oi'ct:on question, that has attracted so much at-
give the Notice instead of giving him the , Bil Alderman! Last year we lost our §\'lay- - {cation t}n-ougjmut the Con,-my for W,,e1,5 past,
power. Upon this tf.e Yeas and Nays
were orclcrcd—vote stood as before.
The vote was then taken on Mr. John-
son’s anicndment, which is substantially
the same as Mr. Critteridcn’s proposition.
The yeas and nays were ordered and re-
sulted, yeas 30, nays 24-.
All the Villiigs (Q4) voted for it with
Messrs. Calhoun, Haywood, Lewis, Mc-
Duffie, Speiglit and Westcott of the other
party. The Texas men both going with
the Ultras. The Senate was full with the
exception of Colquitt and Yulee, both of‘
whom jvoiild have propzibly voted with
the \Vhigs.
Several amendments were suggested,
and some confusion ensued.
Mr. Allen then rose and spoke very vio-
lently-—-so violently indeed that in slap-
ping his hands together the blood redden-
ed his fingers'—-every body could see the
red blood on his fingers as he flourished
them around his head.
He said that there should be two thirds
forthis vote, for it was an Executive not.
He talked so much about the House of
Representatives and the Senate's deferring
to it, that there were numerous calls—to
order.
He talked about getting round the
President to talk to Foreign Governments.
It shirked the responsibility and throws it
back upon the President when he had left
it to us.
He deprecated cramped, manacled ac-
tion. He would voie against the proceed-
ings if he stood alone, hoping the Rosolu-
tions from the Committee on Foreign
Relations or renewed action of the House
would avert this National degradation.
Mr. Crittendcn said, notwithstanding the
polite attention with which he was listen-
ed to, he could not sit still and hear such
langiiage i.n this Senate.
Upon what meat doth this our Czeser
feed that he talks sol Where does. he
come from, and what is he! Surely he
cannot put all these airs on because he is

Yule Co.’le;ge—-Res2'g2znt1'orz of Pres. Day.
——At a meeting, on Tuesday, I-l-ll), of the
the Committee of the Corporation of Yale
College, President Day si.gi'iific-d his inten-
tion to resign his office at the close of the
prcscnt collegiate year, in August next.--
Tlie infirm state of his health has compel-
led him to adopt this course. From a
communication in the New Haven Herald,
we learn that President Day in 1798 was
chosen to the office of u__tutor in the Col-
lcge; in 1803 to that of Pl'()ft’.SSOl‘ of l\‘lutli-
eiriatics and Natural Pliilosopliy, and in
l8l7 to that of Prcsiclcnt.
t-cc he will have held, at the time of his
resignation, twenty-nine years.

linan oftlie Committee on Foreign Relations,
Mr. Cass, Mr. Hannegan, and others voted
against it. on its final passage, as will be seer.
Mr. Evans, Mia T. Clayton, and Mr. \Vcstcott,
also voted against the resolution, but we pi'e_sunie
for very different. reasons : tlicso gentlemen be-
ing of opinion that no resolution of notice at all
1 ought to pass. The final vote was very stiong
3-40 to 14. If we add to the 40 and take from
the 14 the thice gentlciiieif who are opposed to
notice in any form, the result would appear
to be, tiiat, out of 54 Senators present, 43 inti-
mated distinctly there opinion that the Oregon
fdispute ought to be compromised; and of the
f remaining 11 we doubt not that‘ a majority
vculd be in favor of ii comproinise on the ba-
