Singular Position.— The friends of the Admin- Istihtion are certainly’ the strangest, most incon sistent fellows that ever existed. The position, which'they hayo taken is, to say the least of it, a very singular one, and one which certainly merits the serious attention and consideration of the peo ple. ' In the first place.they contend that the na tion'is deeply in debt, and that provision should bo made to discharge that debt, .'And ‘ then the condition of things between this country and Groat Britain is certainly not what might be desired.-—. It is indeed ao much the reverse that some of that ,tp provide for placing the country in a. bpttcratate of defence than it now occupies; to, do .which will require the expenditure of no. small amount of money; And yet;'while they speak of'having to provide for tho dlsuhargc of a Government debt, and propose to incur a largo expenditure of money to fortify the Country against the contingency of a war, with Groat Britain, they propose to > deprive lho„General Government of the revenue which it has.hithorto derived from the sales of public lands and divido the proceeds of those sales among the States. Wo have said that such a. position, is singular. It is quite possible that some may be disposed to employ a'stronger term, - and call it ridiculous. —Baltimore Jiepubliean, The Baltimore Republican gives the following list of extra sessions of Congress which have been called by Executive Proclamation,' since the or ganization of the Government."

DIFFERENT NATIONSi We copy the following interesting Tacts from General Dearborn’s Berkshire Agri aulWral''Addrcss:— 1 ’ * ’lt is,not surprising., that among the .most important subjects ;Which., tlie illustrious Washington urged upon the attention of the first Congress which under the the great charter of 'our liberties, were— " The advancement of agriculture, commerce and manufactures —the promotion of science and literature—the expediency of giving ef fectual encouragement to-the exertions of .skill ful'.invenlions—and of facilitating the in-, ■tercourse between distant-parts of the coun try-,.v. ; 'h. In,accordance .with these enlarged yiews, laws were successively passed for encoura ging and fostering those all-important ob jects; and such has been the salutary influ ence of_a continued protective policy, that the annual productions'of woollen manufac tories, amount to 40,000,000, of cotton to 60.000. and including those of all other materials, to 356;o00,000 of dollars; adding the earnings of agriculture, and every other branch of industry, the national production has beeii estimated, by one of-the most dis tinguished statistical authors of our country, at 81,200,000,000. ' The navigation of the United, States has been augmented in a like,'remarkable man ner, as the vessels'employcd in thecoasting anil foreign trade and'fisherics now exceed 2.000. tons; being inore'than two-thirds as much as that of Great Britain, and,near ly quadruple that of France. The increase ■|n pppnVatibw>iv^ ary Tor it must exceed,-at ibis tiinc, 15,- 000,000.. ; : ■From the facts-which arc to -be obtained from the history of those nations that have become .the most distinguished fur their pro gress in manufactures, trade'and navigation, it is apparent that agriculture has everkept in the advance, and been not only, the crea tor and pioneer, but the foundation and per petual support of each and all of them. " " In Great Britain, where manufacturcs and navigation have been the most fostered, and have flourished the most within the last cen tury, it has been ascertained that the. per sons employed in agriculture, amount to o ver 9,000,000, while those engaged in the were less' than 4,000,000. — ’Not half of the latter, however, were em ployed in producing articles for the foreign markets, while neither the number of peo ple or the wealth,acquired by them, was a fourth part of that which is produced and maintained by tlie agricultural industry. Agriculture in the United States, besides supplying the demaqd Tor home, consump tion, furnishes three-fourlhs.of the exports 1 of domestic articles, and manufactures only n teplli. The disparity, however, between the'exports of the raw material and of man ufactures, is conclusive evidence, that we haye'notsufliciently extended the latter, and are too much dependent upon other nations for article's, which could be as.wcU made in bur own. Although' (lie products of agriculture in Great Britain sojniich ex< feed those of man ufactbrics, nearly the whole of lier exports, which amount to more than 500,000,000 of dollars, are manufactured articles; and only one-third'of the exports pf France are the firoduce of agriculture; and that third cljief y'consists of wine ami fruits, which are in a complete state fur consumption, and Ihere forb caiinofbe enhanced in value, 1 like the TaiWniateffnls for'mechanical industry; and of course constitute proper articles lor ex port,’ as the surplus avails of indigenous la bor heyond the demand fur home consump tion. ■ .;"4 '. _. ... 1: .

The nations of the Eastern continent have pursued, a much'mure restricted system than has ever been adapted in this, in relation to foreign intercourse; and very generally giv en to their own subjects, almost'the exclu sive privilege of furnishing, not only such products of the' soil and of manufactories as are required for home consumption, but an amount of both pay for the faW material to import,from other countries, as. well as for all-such, other articles of mer chandizefas are not indigenous, and do not colnc in competition With tbose jthat can; be supplied .by native industry and,skill,..'. . ~ The statistical: casionally published by'this and the Euro pean governments, in relation .to those,sub jects,furnish the most ample elements for ascertaining the practical operation of the systems' of political economy, which have been adopted on both sides.of the Atlantic. The exports of Great Britain to France in 1838, W'ere valued at only 1,500,000,t0 Russia 1 ,700,000,'and to all Europe but 24,000,000 pounds sterling;while,to the U.” States they exceeded $62,000,000'. Thus, it appears that with less than a sixth of tfie population-ot-Russia, the exports to this country are'more tlmn-seveh times the val ue' of.’those sent to that empire, and amount to.more than half the shipments to all the other- continental nations, whose aggregate population is 210,000,000, or fourteen'times that of,the United Stales; and when the val ue of British manufactures' which arc con sumed iii Russia, is but ten cents per head, it amouiits'at least to five dollars for every soul in this country. -The cotton exported .from this republic amounts to 596,000,000 of pounds, and is valued at $61,556,000, but if it was manu factured. previously tolls being shipped, the products would be worth 8440,000,000, and thus give an additional income to the indus try of the country of $378,000,000, which would be nearly quadruple the amount of our Whole expurtsof domestic, products.

One qf the most remarkable-localities for rock salt is Found.in Cordovia in Spain. It.con sists’in an insulated, mountain, nearly 1700 feet, high and _ 1200 broad at its base-.i Its surface is entirely destitute of vegetation, and when the sunshines, it glitters like a vast-pile of gems. The atmosphere is so perfectly dry in its vicinity,- that vases, snuff boxes, and such sort of, fancy articles, are manufactured from it. The same arti cles, when taken into the humid atmosphere of England, soon moisten and decay. In Poland, near the Carpathian mountains, rock salt is found both' above apd,liclow the sur face of the eafth inr great-quantities. —The- principal salt works in this country arc in- Onondago county, New York.. The salt springs there are numerous, and they annu ally make about three million bushels. On the Atlantic coast, in the vicinity of Boston, immense quantities arc made by evaporation. The water is pumped up into spacious Vats, and as it evaporates, it leaves the salt posite. On all the low lands bordering the Atlantic in the Bay State, the antis of huge windmills,arc constantly at work, pumping . up salt water.-— Philq. North American. Splendid Meteor.— -About twentyminutes before eight o’clock, on the evening of Mon day, the 15th of March inst. a magnificent meteor.was seen by several persons in this vicinity.
