been, began to evince symptoms of dis-
quietude, and Mrs. Norway was arranging-
some apology to me and the rest for pro-
posing the expedition, but we begged she
\vould not mention it. Jacob whipped the
horses, and the faster they went, the faster
the rain poured. The sleigh was well
made- no air holes in the bottom, and,a_s
we discovered, impervious to water: so it
dribbledlc-lown from our persons and formed
a small duck pond, where our feet were
every minutegmore deeply immersed. Af-
ter two hours thus spent, the horses, which
were fonder "of the liquid element than
ourselves, were stopped to drink, at a
house of entertainment for man and beast.
\Ve, feeling by no means entertained in
the sleigh, accepted the promise of the
sign board, and walked in as well as we
could. For a longtime we steamed around
the stove; but getting no drier, while the
rain abated not a jot, we resumed our
puddled sleigh and set out once more.
About mid-day we entered the city, the
streets of which were slush ; and drench-
ed to the skin, thirty six hours sleepless,
disappoint‘-d, mortified, wearied and worn
out, shivering mid shaking, with blue lips,
purple noses and red eyes, we ended our
pleasure party at Mrs. Norway's door.
The heads of several of our aiders and
abettors were discovered at the windows,
who, supposing us dead, had assembled
there to see our corpses brought back.
As soon as Mrs. N. entered the house, she
fainted, from fatigue and vexation too long
conceale_d.. Cynthia sob“-ed out to me
that-my hatred of cold was as strong an
evidence of my good sense as of my warm
heart; upon which hint I spake, as well
as my quivering jaws would permit.——
\Vhat became of the Count I don’t know;
I have never seen him since. The Coun-
sellor and his deluged little partner hurri-
ed away, and I got to my lodgings in a
hack. Scipio, not knowing me when I
entered, took me for a thief, and was go-
ing to kick me down stairs—a meet re-
ward, I must admit, for any one who
would smile at a snow storm or join ;in a
sleigh ride.

.Mra:ico continues !
The appropriations made at the first
session of the late Congress, for the war,
commencing on the 1st'of July 1846, and
terminating on the 30th of June 1847,
amount to the enormous sum of ‘fifty one
miillions, four .’zu72d9'cd and s'I'a:I_1/ four llzou-
sand dollars.’ At the session which has
just now closed, it was ascertained that
this sum, enormous as it is, would be
wholly inadequate, and over six millions
of dollars were added to make up the de-
ficiency ! ‘
Vile cannot now state the precise am’t
of the appropriations made at the last ses-
sion of the financial year, commening on
the 1st July IE37 and terminating on the
30th of June 1818; but we are credibly
informed that they exceed s7'.rr_y mi.’lz'o72s .’
And it is estimated that if the war contin-
ues, there will be a deficiency for both
years of at least $20,000,000 to be appro-
priated at the first session of the next
Congress! No doubt the expenditures
for the two years ending on the 30th
