In tho meantime, we will just renew our hearty wish es for its success. The Adjournment. We arc happy to inform our readers, says the National Intelligencer, that a Joint Resolu tion has passed both Houses of Congress, whereby the- present Session is to be brought to a close on the 10th of next month. Direct Taxes Coming. Tho Washington correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce (a free-trade paper) writes : " The 'Union' expresses the opinion that the tariff bill will yield twenty-eight millions. It is a very extravagant estimate, and far exceeds that of the Secretary. Mr. McKay is probably wore nearly correct in his estimates of twenty three and a half millions, which he says will be enough. The truth is, as Mr. McKay ad mitted, it is a matter of guess-work. It must be tested by experiment. The result mutt be that the increasing expenditures of the Govern ment cannot be met by duties on imports alone. Some new sources of revenue must bo devised. The revenue from lands will, for two- years, hardly equal the expense of their management, the extinction of Indian titles, &c. in the bound Jess territories of the West, which have come, or are foon to come, under the denomination of the 'public landsJ The estimates of two and a quarter millions from the lauds is quite enough, at all events. Direct taxes must ultimately, and before long, be resorted to " The Maine Senator. A correspondent of the Boston Atlas, writing from Hallowell, Maine, July 0th, says: Jas. W.

The steamer Cambria is now safely moored in our harbor, having accomplished the voyage from Liverpool in her usual good time a little over thirteen days. Advices by this arrival have been received from Liverpool to the 4th inst., London 3d, Paris 1st, Dublin 3d, Havre 2d. Two highly important events have occurred sinco wc last addressed our readers. These are, the passing of the Corn Bill and the resig nation of the Ministry. On the evening of Thursday, June 25ih, the House of Lords passed the third reading of the Corn Bill without a division.. At two o'clock, the succeeding morning, the w - I Bouse of Commons left Sir Robert Peel and the Government in a minority of serenty-three oil' the Irish Coercion. Bill. Or.- Saturday, Sir Robert Peel! procee"ted to the Isle of Wight for tho purpose of tendering1 his own and his colleagues' resignation to the Queen ; and, on Monday night, he made a lengthened exposition of his motives for resign ing in the House of Commons. The Council now consists of: Marquis of Lausdowne, Privy Seal. Earl of Mar, Home Department. Sir George Gray, Foreign Department. Viscount Palmerston, Colonial Secretary. Earl Gray, Treasury. Lord John Russell, Exchequb'r. Mr. Chas. N. Wood, Board of Trade. Earl' of Clarendon, Chief Sec. for Ireland. Laboucherre, Secretary of War. Hon. Fox Maule, Attorney General. Sir Thomas Wylde, Lord Lieut, of Ireland. Commander-in-Chief, Duke of Wellington. Most of the members belonged to the Mel bourne Cabinet. The Duke of Wellington re mains at the head of the Army, without a seat in the Cabinet. The London Times regards the new Minis try favorably. Sir Robert Peel' view it without jealousy and with a friendly eye; The general impression is that the now Pre mier will hastily wind up the business of the session, and will dissolve Parliament in the course of the autumn. The Cotton market is in a healthy, but not in a very, active state. Prices have improved a bhade. Tho contemplated change in-the Su gar duties has bad an injurious effect upon sales, as on the eve of a change. Slocks have become depressed, and the deal ers show a reluctance to go beyond their most pressing wants. The coffee trade has been m a lethargic condition. Tho money market, considering the ministe rial change, is firm. Tho settlement of tho Oregon question has produced general joy in England. It arrived on the eve of the dissolution of the Ministry. It is rumored in England that the navigation of tho- Columbia River is reserved in perpetuity, and' not for the duration alone of the Hudson Bay Company's charter. Peel so understands it. Two columns and' a half of Peel's speech are devoted' to the settlement of the Oregon question, the relations of Mexico, and his resig nation. He says : " I do rejoice, that before surrendering power at the feet of a Ministry of ! ,his H'uuse' 1 had ,he opportunity of giving lthem ,he onTcial" assurance that every cause of quarrel with the Great Country America on ihe other side of the Atlantic is terminated. (Loud Cheers.) Sir, 1 feel' that I have now executed the task which my public duty impos- ed upon me. I trust 1 have said nothing Which catv by possibility lead to the recurrence of those controversies which have been depreca - ted by all lovers of peace." Attention is now fixed upon the American Tariff, and hopes are entertained by commer cial men of all parties, in England, that- the present session of Congress will' not terminate j without a reduction of the rates upon imported goods. The London Times and Chronicle speak fa vorably of the settlement of the Oregon ques tion. The election-nf a Pope was made with great er despatch than was- anticipated, having been got over in 48 hours. None of ihe foreign Car dinals had time to be present. The choice of the Conclave fell on Cardinal Mastuy Ferreti, who was accordingly proclaimed the successor of St. Peter, under the name of Pope Pius IX. His age is fifty-eight. As regards years, he is one ol the youngest ot ot. rotor s successors, ' and if all that is said of him bo correct, he can not fail tc make a shrewd" temporal ruler in ad - dition io the functions of his puiiual office. finnu;ii miucc. rii1 preiiouf habits and character of this Pou - tiff do credit . to ihe judgment and impartiality of ihe Conclave which electedhim.

The steamboat Neva the same we met while on the way from Reynosa to this place was to have started last evening on another trip up with a detachment of the 7th U. S. Infantry ; but a couple of engineers having pronounced her boilers defective and unsafe, she. has been laid up for the present. The soldiers were or dered up to reinforco the command of Col. Wilson at Reynosa, previous to a move upon Camareo.. The weather has been, so bad, and 1 o ihe roads in such a horrible condition, that the Infantry will hardly be able to march for. a week or so. Matamoras is certainly going, ahead. I see that the Washington Bali-Room is to be opened this evening for the first time under that title, with a grand Mexican fandango admittance 50 cents. And then gambling rooms are opened in every street, bar-rooms at every turn, and eating-rooms stare the hungry in the face on all sides. An inundation has been poured in upon Matamoras that she wiltf not get rid of easily. Gen. Taylor is now worse cramped and ham pered for want of transportation than ever, and the Quarter-iMastcr. Gen's Department "catches it" on all sides and from all quarters. There are volunteers and-regulars enough to march at any lime and. to any point yet, the Comman der Gencral.cannot move for want of transports With six small steamers, at the present stage of water,, healthy and commanding1 points could easily be reached on the Rio Grande; but they are not here,.and the arms of one of the largest armies ever brought into the field by the United States are tied for want of proper management at home. There is something wrong, too, still in the Post Office department, and loud are the complaints in every quarter. I have not a line of news to communicate we are all in the dark and in the mud. Capt. McCullough is still here, although a part of the company remains at Reynosa. He will prob ably move up his entire command as soon as the weather will permit.- G. W. K. Matamoras, Mexico, June 30,1846. Gen. Taylor's camp on this side of the Rio Grande is yet above water in spots, although the chances of being driven or drowned out still look about even. I sat upon the banks of the river this morning with my feet paddling in the water; so you may learn how near we are to an inundation. I wish that some of thoso members of Con gress, who are pleased to designate the officers j of our army as "epauleled loafers," and "wasp- waisted vampires hanging about high places, could get a glimpse of them now in fact, could share iheir nrivations and discomforts with them. Thev would forever after hold their tongues. The poor devils although they laugh at and make light of the annoyances which beset them appear in plight most pitiful, many of them really not having had a dry rag to their backs or a dry blanket to sleep in for near a fortnight , "Hanging about high places!" Why, they have been wading about low places, half way up to their knees in mud and water Gen. Taylor and Col. Twiggs among the rest and nothing but an absolute fear of being drowned out has driven any from their position. j The two regiments of Louisiana volunteers j Marks's and Walton's on the opposite bank j of the river, occupy higher ground; yet they are bad enough off' in all conscience. All are still enjoying a belter degiee of health than one could suppose they would, but 1 am fearful, if ; they remain here too long, that some epidemic may make its appearance among them. Volunteers are Bt ill arriving by regimonts and still Gen. Taylor is without transportation or any means of moving them. Where arc the steamers ordered to be purchased long since for the use of the army ?' Here is a stage o water high enough to reach Reynosa and Ca margo with ease and safety, yet there is not a safe conveyance even across the river 1 cannot conceive a situation more trviri" to the patience and more mortifying to the feel ins of the Commander-in-Chief than the one ho is now placed in. With men enough to march to any quarter, he has not the means to move them an inch. rrom tno interior tne news is various am contradictory. It is said thai a poriion of the Mexican Infatitty has loft Lenares for some point near Tampico, and very likely such is the case. For some time the inhabitants of Maia . moras beliovcd that the troops would return and retake the place could not for mwue mu iaee coutu not lor one moment ' suppose" that the iVnoMvaus jvould bo allowed I to hold quiet possession of the city. I believe thatthey have now. given up all hopes. The number of Mexican soldiers at Monterey is known to-be small. Arista, whose course has been sustained by the Government, is at his hacienda near that city with a few men on ly. The number of Infantry at Lenares is at present only 600, with a small force of cavalry in the neighborhood. Gen. Paredes is said to be en route for Monte rey with G000 men some say as large a num ber as 8000. Scouting parties of Texan will probably be sent out as soon as the roads are in traveling condition; and then it will be diffi cult to ascertain the full foicc.and intentions-of tho enemy From the Republic of the Rio Grande. The Regulars and Volunteers comprising the Army of Occupation, are enjoying luxuries which the unfortunate citizens who are left be hind would assuredly envy them forswore they in a situation to appreciate them.

The tents of the regulars- are nine-tenths of them, rotten and ragged. The clothing and bedding of both Regulars and Volunteers, have been half ruined during, the short period of the rainy season which has already passed. Very little complaint has been heard among the men. They have made sac rifices enough (the Volunteers) to have paid thrice-foltl the expenses- that could have been incurred by Government, had the most liberal provisions been promptly made and executed, or ihe health, and efficacy of the Army. Canales Almost Tajcen. We learn that Canales came very near "falling into-the hands of Philistines" a few nights since. Captain McCullough's Company, who were at Reyno- 1 C t t sa, receiveu lniormauon maia ranuango was io come off about 15 miles from thai place, and that Canales was. to honor the party with his presence. They repaired to the vicinity of tho lancho, and waited in the darkness for. the lion. of the night to make his appearance. When every thing was under way the Ran gers walked in and politely requested an intro duction to Monsieur Canales. The gentleman had not arrived, but two of his officer were there, and received an invitation to ride out lu Reynosa and pay a visit lo Col. Wilson. The Colonel, we are informed, received them very graciously, and insisted on their becoming his guests, until Gen. Taylor should have time to attend to them. 'Faber's magnetic IVatcr-Giiagc.' Such is the title of a new and ingenious in vention, by Geo. Faber, Canton, Ohio, to deter mine and exhibit at all times the exact hight of the water-in a steam boiler. It has recently been exhibited' to engineers in this vicinity by Mr. Lewis Tail', and' has elicited very warm encomiums from therrt. The Newark Daily says it is a simple and readily understood ap plication of a well known principle to a new purpose, and any child who can tell' the hours by the dial of a clock, can tell the quantity of water in a boiler by this guago. It is thus de scribed : " The principle is that a magnet will affect substances through a solid Body. The instru ment is composed of a flat cylindrical Brass Btx in two pieces united by a screw. On the face of the Box there is painted a Dial, resem bling a clock face ; with numbers from 1 to 18. A needle is suspended on this. In the inside of the box, but' in no way connected wilh the needle, there is a Magnet, itself fitted on the end of a brass rod extending into the boiler. On the end of the rod in the boiler, there is a copper pulley wheel', with grooves on the edge, around which a brass chain traverses, with a brass and copper ball one at each end The latter is about six inches in diameter, hol low, and floats upon-the water. It is by the rising or sniKing oi tins latter mat the instru ment operates. As the water falls the grooved wheel turns, and with it the rod, its axle, and with ihe rod, the Magnet in tho box. There is no connection between the mart and nee dle, but the former operator upon the latter through the solid brass, and causes it to indi cate the exact number of inches of water in the boilers," A portion of ihe Oil consumed by the fire at Nanuaket, amounting to about $16,000, be. longed to the government of ihe United States. It had been delivered to an agent of the gov eminent and stored by him for shipment. In xTow, York there ar thirteen daily "papors; in Huston, there arc fifiuen. I&ccutirG Dictation. The Washington Correspondents of various prominent Whig Journals, are eloquent in the expression of their indignation at the recent successful attempts of the Executive to influ ence the action of Congress or. the subject of the Public Lands Graduation Bill. And truly, if flagrant and' unblushing: corruption ever de served to bo rebuked in terms of indignant elo quence, the presence of tho members of the cabinet', the President's private Secretary, (a toad-eater by virtue of his office.) and the edi tor of the Union, (a mercenary- with sufficient pay to-keep on foot a Swiss brigade,) on the floor of the fifouse of Representatives while tfie land- bill' was-bfore that body, successfully stri ving to coerce-or cajole, to over-awe or to bribe members so to vote a3 to rob the old thirteen Slates of their properly in the public domain, is a legitimate subject for the most unsparing denunciation.

What a sad, sad figure does our own free representative government present, when we see the Execu tive boldly striding into the haUi of Congress, with a purse in one hand and a rod in the other, and by means of these formidable agencies, wresting from the hands of the National Leis lature and appropriating lo himself ihe power. tQ'maka laws for the Union! And this is modern- democracy-! Out upon such base, low, sla vish,, degrading vassalage to power. The time- i honored: name of Democrat is rendered loath some by contact with a party capable of sanc tioning such outrages against the spirit of liber ty as have marked every step in the disastrous march of Locufocoism. But we have already wasted too many words in commenting on. facts, that are in themselves sufficient to stamp with infamy the most corrupt government ihat ever sapped the liberties of a generous and confiding people.

Fairfax, county is coming fast into the possession of setilers lik these. Other portions of the State are also likely to bo rescued in a similar manner. "It is a singular spectacle," says- the Richmond Republican, "which Virginia now presents; the; departure of her own. sons to other lands, and the emigration into her borders of citizens froo other States. For years-has she been draiaed' of the flower of her youthful population, leaving their place to bo supplied, by men who seem tr place a higher value upon tho advantages which they have surrendered."
