XVhh the close of the present week, another year "will have departed, and bo numbered among the things that were. Eighteen hundred and forty ? wo, is rapidly drawing to an end, and next Sab- fyatii morning, will usher into existence its young Micccssor. As this is the last paper we shall pub lish prior to that time, it may not be amiss to an ticipate the period, and wish our readers "a happy sicio year." The close of the old, and the opening of the new year, is a season which always awak- , -ens both sad and pleasing recollections m every anind. No matter how elevated and favouied an individual may be, he has still moments and ac tions to look back to, which cause him pain and sorrow; and no matter how poor and miserable, on the other, hand, may be the person, he has still many bright spots to recur to, on which his mem ory can rest, and upon which his imagination may revel with pleasure. These emotions of joy and sorrow are more vividly called to our minds at ihis limp than at any other. We are affected very much in the samo way by the passing away of the old year, that we are by the demise of an old and intimate friend. Both events tell us of the mutability of all things, and remind us of our own approaching dissolution. Close upon the old year, - jso full, of weariness and trouble, comes the young and radient follower, full of joy and promise a fit emblem of the life beyond the grave. We should ' not permit this lesson so fraught with instruction to go by unimproved. It presents matter of the irrost ttlsolcsouae and important reflection. It causes all persons to reflect more or less. If we ?ut do properly, we shall ever regard the New Tcar,as a happy period in our lives. Christmas. 'Christmas has come and passed; and we believe -was never more generally observed before. Not withstanding the hardness of the times, every bo dy most, seemed to be joyful and merry. The lit tle folks set their plates and hats on Saturday eve ning, and after passing an unquiet night, got up the next morning to find that St. Nicholas, or Kriss Kringle, as he or she is called, had supplied them most bounteously with all kind of nick-nacks. -Their se.iiors provided themselves with venison, turkeys, geese, chickens, or whatever else good came In their way, and fared sumptuously on Sun - day and Monday. Lovers gave and received to kens of affection. Friends exchanged gifts, and all tried to make themselves happy. , Tfie Legislature. " On Tuesday next, the fifth General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, under the Kew Constitution, will assemble at Harrisburg, j;ind-.c6mmence its labors. There never was a 'limslri'ee the establishment of the State, by Wil 3iamTenn,at which a more important,duty devolved upon our Legislators, than is presented to those who are to meet next week. Upon their wisdom, iru1encc, and correct legislation, rests the fame, lienor, and prosperity of Pennsylvania. A.short time will be-sufficient to see how they acquit them selves of their high responsibility. The IflHtitay. . The facts of the mutiny on board the Brig of -JVarSomers, as published in the Jeffersonian of 3a5t voek, prove to be in the main correct. The i.-jse, as might naturally be supposed, has excited sih immense deal of fqeling throughout the coun try, -and has drawn forth high praises and severe ensures, upon the conduct of Captain McKenzie, i:'e commander of the Somcrs. A Board of In (joiry. composed of Commodores Stewart, Jones, and Dallas, members,-and Ogden Hoffman, Esq. Jurfge Advocate, has been constituted, and will itioet in New York, to-day , for the purpose of in vestigating the whole matter. As soon as the in cjtiiry is concluded, all the facts connected with ilio mutiny will -be made public, and then every one will be capable to form an opinion for himself, of this highhanded proceeding. United Stales Senators. The Hon. William Allenrhas been re-elected U. S. Senator by the Legislature of Ohio, for six yeanrfrom the fourth of March next. Mr. Allen js tin youngest, and by far the least talented and tlemanly member of the Senate. He is the ame individual who fabricated the infamous slan der J)wj Gen. Harrison, in regard to the ladies of Chilicoilue, nd fe iu consequence known and des ignated throughout the whole Western Country by ibe name of ''Petticoat A Hen." It is a pny that 1 he Locos of Ohio could iind nobody but him to repKiicnt them at Washington. Jfoywood, Ktsq. of North Carolina, has been elected lo the Senate of the United States, for six! years from ihc fourth of March next, in the place oflr: Oraliam. whose term will then expire. "JJjhe JXoii. William A. Huger, pronounced I'gpc) of South Carolina, has also been elected U. Senator for four years, from the fourth of Marcii jCxt, nt the place of John C Calhoun, resigned. Congress. The only thing of importance which, has yet been done by Congress, is the passage of the Civil Appropriation Bill for 1043, through the House It passed final reading in that body on Thursday last. The Bankrupt Bill and the. Bill to refund Gen. Jackson his one thousand dollar fine, occu pied the attention of both Houses the greater part of the weok. The general impression is that they will be enacted into laws during the present ses sion. WASHINGTON NEWS. Washington, Dec. 33, 1 842. Se nate.

Mr. Archer rose to reply, when Mr. Evans moved to postpone the subject to take up the civil and diplomatic bill. Mr. Erans said the committee had reported the bill without amendment. No objections being made, the bill was' con sidered as in committee of the whole, reported to the benate, and finally passed. The Piivate Secretary of the President then appeared with two communications from the President, in answer to Resolutions adopted Yesterday. The President states that no communication formal or informal, or otherwise, passed between the Secretary of State and Lord Ashburton on me suojeci oi ine estate ueois. i ins answer coming iu response to a Resolution adopted only-yesterday, was listened to with much in terest. Being lead, it was laid on the table. The other communication was in answer to the Resolution, in which it was stated, upon the subject of the North Westorn boundary, that it was not compatible with the public interest to communicate any information at present. Thia communication was laid upon the tabic, and or dered to be primed. " Several Executivo communications were re ceived, when Mr. Bayard moved an Executive Session, which was carried. House.

Also, a bill to establish a school of Instruction in t He Navy service of the United States. . The Resolution of Mr. Benton, on the Quin tuple Treaty, (under consideration on Friday last) was called up. Mr. Archer said in consequence of remarks which had fallen from the Senator from Mis souri, he should withdraw his objections to the Resolution. No one objecting, the resolution was adopted. This Bill, introduced under tho title of "An Act to amend the. general Acts establishing the Treasury of the United Stales," was called up, and having been made the special order for this day, Mr. Tallmadge, the author of tho Bill, moved a further postponement until this day week, which was agreed to. Tho bill to refund the fine to General Jack son was before the Senate on motion of refer ence. There wero objections to ihe motion to refer, and some members demanded tho yeas and nays, regarding the reference as hostile to the bill. The motion prevailed by the follow ing vote: Ayes 23, nays 19. The Senate then went into Executive ses sion. The business under consideration is' be lieved to have reference to the removal of Jon athan Roberts, and not to the.Somers case, as at first supposed. . House. Air. J. R. Ingersoll presented a me morial from citizens of tho city and county of Philadelphia remonstrating against a repeal of ihe Bankrupt Law. The bill to repeal the Bankrupt Act was ta ken up the pending question was on the mo tion to refer the bill to the committee on the Ju diciary, with instructions to report a bill forth with, for the repeal of ihe law. Mr. Saltonstall contended that the law was not only of interest to the commercial commu nity, but to the nation at large. A message was received from tho President stating that on the 25th instant he had signed the bill making appropriations for the civil and diplomatic expenses of the Government. Air. Dawson, of La., regretted that he was compelled to differ in this single instance from his Democratic friends. If any man loved his parly he was that man. He should vole against a repeal. If this was an error, it was of the head and not of ihc heart. He believed in the utility of the Bankrupt Law, heart'and soul. Air. Cushing protested against a sudden, rash repeal of the Bankrupt Law. As Air. C. took his seat, several members rose lo reply. The floor was given to Air. Thompson, of Indiana, who moved an adjourn ment, but withdrew it at the request of Air.

The Speaker laid bofore the House sundry Executive communications, when, on motion of Air. McKennan, the Houso -adjourned. A Wolf iu Slaccp's (Clothing. The very curious circumstances occurred re cently at a village in Bucks county, of a gen tleman by the name of Sheep, having been robbed of his clothing during the night, by a room companion a pompous, self-important, dressy little fellow, calling himself Col. Wolf, who forced an undue share of civility upon him, during an hour or two's acquaintance. In the morning Wolf was not to bo found, but pur suit being made, he was soon overhauled, dress ed entirely in Sheep's clothing. Pyramid of Salt. The Ohio Observer, in alluding to the esti mate that the ocean contains an average amount of salt of two and a half per cent., observes that the State of Ohio contains about 40,000 square miles, or one-fiftieth of the entire terri tory of the United Slates. Let us, then, sup pose all this salt collected inio a pyramid cov ering ihe entire State of Ohio, or its equivalent, that is, an extent of territory 200 miles square; the pyramid of salt would shoot its crystal head 855 miles into the blue expanse, leaving the clouds about its very base glittering in eternal sunshine, and visible at a distance of 2730 miles. To Preserve Steel Pens. A correspon dent of the Boston Journal recommends coarse emery, mixed with water, as an excellent pre servative of steel pens. ' Geese vs. Turkey. We should judge the New Yorkers feasted on geese, instead of turkies, on Christ mas day,-for we are informed there were six geese to one turkey exposed for sale in the markets of that city, on Saturday last. From Chatham square, along the Bowery, out as far as Grand street, there is supposed to have been as. many as twenty thous and geese lying on the psrvoment in heaps of from, two to three feet high. -i-;ajJy..CIii-onicle.

Mr. Jett, the editor of the Arkan sas Telegraph, relates the following extraordinary "bounce." The Belled Bear. Some time last week, in the county of "Lafayette, two youug gentlemen on a hunting excursion, killed a bear of the most singular appearance ever known to belong to the diversified race of old Bruin. The bear, when killed, had sus pended to his neck a small bell, of common artisan workmanship, and of universal usage; but, so unusual was the circumstance of bellinp-dangerous and ferocious animals in older States, that it, to the eye of an inexperienced hunter, constituted a phenomenon of the most mysterious and incompre hensible nature. He also had, to the astonishment of all, the horns and hoof of an ox but, from the. circum stances in the case, to class him with our common species of cattle, would be an act of, injustice lo the glowing imaginations of the young hunters, who, in their ardent zeal to rid society of a dangerous beast, fancied that bears were belled in the State of Ar kansas. The hide, witlt the appendages of bell, horns, tail, and hoof, has been sent, as a present, to the Cabinet of Curiosities at Washington City. We are happy to learn that since the kil ling of the bear that the health of the country had been usually goo.d, and that Red River runs in its accustom ed channel. Lard and Bacon. The Cincinnati Gazette stales that the number of hogs already packed in that city up to tho 20th inst., is estimated at be tween seventy and eighty thousand. A larger proportion than usual has been converted into lard and bacon. The price of hogs ranges at from $1 to $2, according to quality. .Goodtbcef is selling at -Rochester,, N;. y., l.or mie dollar a" hundred. " .
