Cpncert Hall was as full of people=intelli plaL thinking people--as it could be, last night, to hear Mr. Phillips speakiprof the `times,the war, pad its vast results upon - the eountry,, the Union, and slavery. We say thinking people, atuitruly he gave his audi tors much to think about and talk about. He - sieribed all our troubles to slavery. He spoke of it as the foie eause,and demonstrated that so long as the cause continued to exist, thkeilkot would continue. He spoke of the lato.liesSage of the President as the voice of the nation-4 voice uttered by an honest, cautious, conservative man, who spoke in obidienoe to his own. convictions, and the rising and resistless . sentiment of nineteen of fresh-fen. • He said Jeff. Davis did not intend to secede .at first. He relied upon the sympathisers with slavery in the north to hold the handl, of the government while' he and his fellow con 'graters remodelled theiovernmeot upon the basis of slavery, and then the work of absorp tion wits to go on, linen all the north should *some xtudet the new .constitution, He be • Horned MayOr Wood's premise to bring the city of New York to the side of the South, and tie belleired the Democratic, Governor of Can , neollenst when he promised to call out the mi !tin of his State to prevent the march of a coat elite army from Musaohnsetts. He expected to gain possession of Washington, prevent the inauguration.of Lincoln and thus abolish the Old government, and plant the new on Its autos. Bat he was toned into his present at titude by the unexpected uprising of the North; and the desperate condition in which he-now finds himself is the tenth. He spoke of the reconstruction of the Union, and contended that the nation can never ' oxalis be what it has been. That if ever the Usdo'n shall be restored, it wait be b,y not by tannest—that either the South most get a new set of ideas, or the North must. He deprecated any attempt to preserve sla very, and again bring it in with its Inherent, unchangeable antagonism to democratic Ideas. 'He did net speak hopefully of the future ; of :the trying period when we shall have the Beath at One feet with all its hatred to us and ourderatoraUs Idles. He deprecated, more titan any thing else, the attempt to bind riegether things which have proved themselves to be utterly Irreconcilable. "I am by no means tortaln," said he, "that public opinion is edtiatid enough to says the Union.": IL*.

HAlRlffillniG, March 19, 1862. The Senate this• morning granted the use of the Senate Chamber to Wendell Phillips, to lecture in to-morrow evening. The House had refused their Hall for that purpose, two or three days since. Whatever may be said of Mr. Phillips' extreme views, he Is certainly one of the most accomplished platform speak ers in this country. If the Democracy did not feel that his racy criticisms were deserved, they would not feel so sensitive about his lec tures. The House took up the resolution, fixing the time of final adjournment, and, after a good deal of discussion, fixed upon the 11th of April. The present probabilities are that the Legislature Will adjourn - on that :day. This matter had another, entirely unconnected with it, thrust in, which caused some feeling. An amendment was inserted on the ad journment resolution, ordering the Investiga ting Committees to report three days before the adjournment. Of course, all this was aimed at the Tonnage Tax Committee. But that Committee was absent at Pittsburgh, en gaged in its duties, and Mr. Williams at Philadelphia- Mr. Bigliam protested against the connection of these two questions—espeoi ally in the absence of the parties most inter ested. He ultimately got his dander up, and said some sharp things, that caused no little excitement. The resolutions ultimately went over on the second reading, and I hope the parties immediately interested will have a chance to be heard. I have no doubt the design was to force an early adjournment, and keep certain parties out of the way of an examina tion, until that time. The presence of certain suspicious parties here, to urge a speedy ad journment, is oonclusive on the mind, of such an intent. The House passed to third reading, the Gen eral School bill. It was, however, greatly ohaoged,and sevens' sections entirely omitted. The Controllers of both Pittsburgh and Alle gheny asked to be excepted from the operation of this supplement. Thal:loose very wisely re fused to grant any such request. If the Rep resentatives of any county and city can be ex empted, our school system would all be in confusion before telt years. The present amendments do not materially interfere with the system, and most of them are Improve ments. Judge Shannon got a resolution' passed to have 1,000 copies of the bill printed, in regard to the allowance of Claims impending, con tracted by military officers, on the breaking oat of the war. Many of these claims are held in your vicinity. Tho bill has passed both Rouses, and as soon as the 'Governor re turns from Philadelphia, will be signed. The Governor and Committee on Federal Relations have been at Philadelphia, meeting the Governors and Committees of Delaware and New Jersey, about fortifying the Delaware Bay. The report that the iron-clad steamer had got out ten days ago, excited all the sea port towns, each expecting to be burnt down forthwith. The danger is now passed, but on the principle of preparing for the worst, Philadelphia is urging that some means should be taken to protect her commerce and her wealth. Ilutaissuao, March 20, 1862. The Senate passed finally to-day the bill to authorize the city of Allegheny to compro mise with the Railroad bondholders. This bill has heel very carefully prepared, and may in many respeots serve as a model for the county if her public officers design to pre pare a similar one to compromise with her bondholders. The House has yet to pass upon it. The Senate also passed finally a Real Estate Savings fund. The House Committees' have reported favorably the Market BOUMe bill for Allegheny—also several bills of minor importance prepared by her City Councils and sent on here. The Committee has re ported negatively on the bill to legalize the exclusive right of Wm. IlicKee to the Man chester Ferry. The House bas passed the first Bank bill of the session, to wit: an act to authorize the (lizard Bank, of Philadelphia, to reduce Its capital stook from $1,260,000 to $1,000,000. The vote wan a very close one-- 42 to 40. The bill to legalise the suspension is the order for to-morrow. There is no doubt that it is much stronger than thin vote would indisate. In the afternoon, the Mouse passed, finally, Il e at o t temire•... resolution, in which she Sea -Once concurred. The 11th of April Is therefore fixed upon as the day of final ad journment. The House also passed the school bill, only some fifteen voting against it. The bill does not materially change the present leis. The bill In retard to bankers and brokers and repealing the act of April 28, 1881, on the same subject,occupied most of the alter. noon. This bill iad been principally prepared by Mr. Bighorn, who took charge of it to-day. The rates of income were increased some 33 per cent. beyond what his printed bill pro posed. There was also an amendment adopt ed to the first section, requiring the retainer of profits to be under oath. : bill it is free from many of the odious feartros of the eel of 1861. I think the Interest immediately affected will mach prefer that eat, though the rate of taxation Is not reduced. Mr. Williams, who was absent for two or three days, has returned. Senator Penney, who was confined to his room for about the same time, is also in his seat again. FORT PITT. A Whip for the President... His Speech. The Washington correspondent of the Bos ton Journal, ander date of March 18, write■ as follows : A party of Massachusetts gentlemen met this morning at the "rooms of Mr. Train, to accouipany him to pie White House, and there witness the presentation of a magnificent whip, made by the "American Whip Com pany," of Westfield, Massachusetts. Mr. Lincoln received the party in his equncil chamber, where SeCretaries Chase and Stanton were with him, and cordially greeted each one as Mr. Train introduced him. lie was espe cially gracious to Mr. Hawthorne, the author, and to Mr. Ticknor, the publisher. After the introduction, hir, Train, holding the whip, said "Mr. President, I am desired by the Amer ican Whip Company of Westfield, Massachu setts, to present to you this whip as a token of their regard and esteem." fie then de scribed the whip, which is of olaborst• work manship. In making this presentation, Mr. President, on behalf of patriotic friends, I simply per form a pleasant duty which they have chosen to impose upon me. The gift is suggestive, and the motives ofthe donors cannot fail to be fully appreciated by you._Allow me to hope for them that It may be thankfully re ceived and preserved as a typical expression of their wishes.!' Receiving the gift, Mr. Lincoln examined it with evident interest, and then very pleasant. ty remarked: 'I thank you, Mr. Train, for presenting too with this truly elegant and highly creditable specimen of the handiwork of the. mechanics of your State of Massachusetts, and I beg of you to express my hearty thank, to the don ors. It displays *perfections oi - workmanship which I really wish' had time to acknowledge in more fitting words, and I - sisight then follow your Ides that it Is suggestive, for It is evi dently expected that a good deal of whipping is to be done. But as we meet here moomily, let us not think only of whipping' rebels, or of those who seem to think only of whipping negroes, but of those pleasant days which it is to be hoped are in store for us,.when, seat ed behind agood yak of horses, we can crack our whips and drive - through a peaceful, hap py and prosperous land. With this idea, gentleman, I must leave you for my business duties." This pleasant /Ml* off-hand speech, from one so, overburthened by :public affairs, and bound down by family atillotions, was rowels ed with applause, and the party left the White House.

H oust.—The 'louse puled the bill to aware to the pilots, engineers, sailors and erewl.pn the gunboats their pensions. Mr. Stevens, of Pa., suggested that the House do not adjourn over to-morrow, as ORB, ternary, as he desired to devote that day to. several measures which were deemed ImpottaiW by the Treasury Department. Mr. Vallandigham, of Ohio, inquired hoW soon, in the opinion of Mr. Stevens, Congress will be able to adjourn. Mr. Stevens replied that depends on how many objections were made to the tax and other bills. 8o far as the Committee on Ways and Means were concerned, the state of busi ness would enable the House to' adjourn by the first of May. Mr. Vallandigham hoped that Congress would push business so as to enable them to adjourn at that time. Mr. Stevens added, "but we must work more hours andr.perhaps sit during the even: Inge." The House concurred in the Senate's amend ments to the bill-for the better regulation of the law of prizes. The House then went into Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union t and proceed ed to the consideration of the tax bill—Mr. Colfax in the chair. The proceedings were confined to the sec Hone fixing the licenses. ' Among the amendmenlc was one that whole sale liquor dealers, including distilled spirits, firmented liquors and„wines, of all kinds, shall pay one hundred dollars each licence. Mr. nice, of Me., wanted to increase the Hooke on retail dealers. If the nation was to 'take the wages of sin they should be as high ae 1 Mr. ° li Stevens wanted to know bow much the wages of Bin were worth. He was for con fining the price to the low amount in the bill. The amendment increasing the license to re tail dealers, in less quantities than 3 gallons, from $2O to $5O, failed. The Committee rose, and the House ad journed. S .—Mr. Hale, of New Hampshire, in trodueed a bill to provide for the equitable settlement of the accounts of the officers and sailors of the United States frigate Congress and other vessels. The bill was passed. On motion of Mr. King, of Now York, the bill to establish a National Foundry was taken up. Mr. °lithos, of lowa, mooed that the bill be referred to a special committee of flee, to gether with the bill for the Arsenal and Ar mory at the west. After a discussion, the bills were referred to a Special Committee. A bill for the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia was taken op. The Senate Chamber wai full of smoke from bakeries under the Capitol, in consequence of which the Senate adjourned till Monday. From Washington. Wssuzeorow, March 20.—The following dispatch was received from St. Louis : The enemy's flotilla, which is hemmed In between Commodore Foote and General Pope, has made another attempt to canape down the river. Their gunboats engaged General Pope's bat teries on the 18th for en hour and a half, but were driven: back with a severe lose. One gunboat was sunk, and several were badly damaged. They are completely hemmed In, and can escape only by fighting their way out. The following dispatch was also received here to-night: Eaxsi.o CITY, March 18.--Geo: T. Beale, bearer of dispatches to Washington, brings advises from haute Fe to the 3d inst. They confirm previous accounts of the battle near Fort. Craig, on the 21st. The Federal loss was sixty-two killed and one hundred and forty wounded. The Texans captured six of our field pieces. Col. Steele commanded the Texans.. The Texans were at Concern, 38 miles north of Fort Craig. Col. Canbi's command was concentrated at Fort Craig. Nothing has been heard from them since the .2eth, as all communication has been out off. A large amount of Government stores was destroyed at llbuquerque, to prevent them from falling into the 4 hands of the enemy. Four hundred and fifty Texans, with ten pieces of artillery, entered Albuquerque, on the second. Major Donation, commanding the district of Santa Fe, was preparing to abandon that place, and fall back to Fort Union. One hundred and forty wagon loads ofGov ernment stores were being removed from Santa Fe to Fort Union. On Monday, the 3d init., Mr. Beale met three companies of - Colorado volunteen, under Lieut. Col. Tappan, at Hole in the Rock; fifty miles south of Bent's fort, en route to fort Union. Seven more companies had creased the river above ; they would meat at Purga tory, forty miles south of Bent'. fort.. ' Mr. Beale left this morning for Washington. WaalllWOroh, March 21.—As our forces ex tend the authority of the United States, on the Atlantic coast, numerous applications are made by merchants and shipper, to the Trea sury Department for permission to trade with the recaptured forts, but these are unifoniily refused. Nothing is done to - interfere with the blockade permits. However, they: are granted by - the Department of Internal Trade elsewhere. The public debt and all foreign drain' are promptly paid at maturity, no matter What may be the pressure in other respects on the Treasury. The statement that Mr. Sickles' nomina tion as Brigadier General was unanimously rejected, is not correct. In the House to-day, Mr. Sedgewiek intro duced ajoint resolution, which passed, I au thorising the Secretary of the Navy-to cense the steam frigate Roanoke to be iron -clad; and otherwise altered and improved in his ditiore tion, at the earliest day possible.

Thompson is matching upon Cape - Girardeau, pressing men and horses Into the confederate service. d. skirmish had taken plebe between the Union forces and his adyitnee; three of the enemy were killed and Wounded. Reinforce ments had been sent to the Cape. A gentleman who had been a contractor at I,semphie, and was there on Thursday, arrived !last evening. lie reports that Goy. Harris disappeared from 'Memphis on the second day after, the one on which the Legislature ad journed. Re is supposed to be at Corinth, Milo ; The Legislature has adjourned and gakto.'nii one knew whither. Tiiinubjeet of harming the citY, in case evacuation be necessary, is still openly dis cussed: There had been no impressment of Union men into the confederate service to any extent, except for guard duty, until since the fall of Fort Donaldson.. Bitloo Gov, Harris's pro clamation impresaments havelieeri: general ; hundreds have been picked spin thostreets,and taken from stores and dwellings, and marched off to camps of inetruetion at the point of the bayonet. The floating battery bas been so constructed as to be sent to the water's edge, leaving noth ing exposed except the armament, which con sists of .nine Dahlgreen guns, which were built for the protection of Memphis. It has been towed to Island No.lo. liollin's steam fleet has been sent there. The Union men are leaving Memphis in great numbers, leav ing their property to be confiscated, and glad to escape with their lives. Quarrels in the streets are of frequent occurrence between Union men and secessionists, and shots were hourly exchanged. The rebels greatly need iron, and have of fered $20,000 to any artisan who will discover the process of making malleable iron. Am munitioa is plenty. Manufacturies aro in operation day and night in the vicinity of Memphis. There are no mail facilities ; except along the railros4 routes. betters an d papers are earned from town to town by private en terprise. • • Another correspondent telegraphs that he left Island No. 10, yesterday at noon: The firing was only moderate from the Benton and Mound City, at intervals of fifteen minutes each, the ob i leet being to' reduce the upper batteries. Five guns were dismounted. From two guns occasionally shots were fired, which came -very near our boats. The works, both mainland and inland, are far more extensive than is generally supposed. There are at least eighty guns, many of them of the largest sire, several of them rifled, and 20,000 troops. I saw, at one time, ten regiments on dress parade on the main land. Their quarters aro out of the reach of oar mortars. The island is pretty well covered with tents, and our shells mob all parts of the island, and works on the island. It is evident that all the rebel batteries have bomb proof casemate', as men can be seen to disappear when a shell falls into the batteries. As soon as the upper fort is reduced, the gunboats will advance to another' in detail. On Tiosday night the Mound City kept up. a steady ere on the upper fort, preventing the rebels from making their usual nightly re pairs. They oonimenca removing the dead and wounded from the c entatos of the fort. Large numbers were carried out and taken back into the woods. On Monday 900 shot were fired from the gunboats, mostly shell, besides 300 shell from mortars. On Tuesday Commodore Foote di rected them to wet or drowned, with a view to destroy the works and dismount the guns. The result was satisfactory..

Heantssuao, March 21.—The following General Order, issued by the Governor this afternoon, is a just and well deserved tribute to the bravery and , gallant conduct displayed by the slat Pennsylvania Regiment, the fair Tame of which was BO long tarnished by un founded charges of disloyalty and cowardice. These are now,dispelled, and once more the regiment stands in a position which any in the nation would be proud to occupy; General Order No. 19.—The 51st Regiment of Pennsylvania VOltinteers, under the com mand of Col. - .1,• F.

In-the latter en gagement they stormed the enemy's batteries at the point of the bayonet, and . were the first to plant our flag on their intranchmente. The honor which they have thus won for the Com= monwealth and themselves ought to be held in remembrance. It is therefore ordered that Roanoke Island, .

A Washington correspondent says : The fate 'of the amendments which have been offered in ComMittee of the Whole 'to the Tax bill show's that it will pass essentially as It comes from the handsof the Ways and Means Committee. Amendments have re peatedly been offered, but, except in unim portant matters, they have been invariably voted down. Two days were spent in discuss log the proposition to hand .over the dety of collecting the government taxes to the differ ent states that might choose to assume it, but when the vote came but a small minority fa vored the amendment. So in nearly every case yet presented, and although the lianas has not yet approached those sections of Abe bill specifying particular taxes; yet it is evi dent that a. largo majority of the Moue In clines to adopt the bill as nearly as possible as the Ways and Means Comraittee report It. It is proposed to increase the taxes on ale or beer to two dollars a .barral, and - to increase the duties generally on alcoholic liquors and upon tobacco, but so far the Ways and Means Committee have: not -assented to the propo sition SPECIAL: NOTICES: Brown's - Bronchial Trochee Caro Cough, Cold, Hoarseness, Influenza, any irritatiorror soreness of the throat, relieve the • hacking cough In • Consumption-, Bronchitis, Asthma and Catarrh, clear and give strength to the voice of public speakers and ethers.
