Among the moat prominent causes which directly contribute to engender thoughts and speculation unfavorable to female chastity, is the style of conversation commonly indulged in by men of all classes while meeting togeth er alone, unchecked or restrained by the pres ence of women. At the social board, in the public bar-room, or on the streets, men of cul tivation and refinement is well as those of lower ind more debased mind, without being, it may be positively obscene, are accustomed to indulge in remarks or indelicate allusions which, if uttered by others in the presence of a female of their own. families, would meet instant and . fearful retribution. These ro marks, in many instances no doubt are mere words, not stirring with ripple even the inner leelings of the utterer, but, they are too often listened too by the, young and comparative in gehuous man, who, perhaps, blushing as the unaccustomed sounds fall upon hia oar, tasen sibly admits then into a mind therefore train ed by a careful mother, to regard woman and woman's virtue as among the most sacred things of earth. He bad before learned to speak with reverence and love of the opposite sex Judging all by jthe standard of his Bother; but, listening ts lewd, double tn tenders or exciting remarks, clothed probably in choice languago, he learns insensibly to separate his own family from the rest of the world, and enshrining thenv in the inner easket of his heart m pure and holy, he comes to believe that female virtue and purity, outside of his own household, is a rare commodity. We dislike to speak of these things, yet the (ViVis Becoming so glaring, that a public jour-riatist sfloUld not held-bis hand, and we there fore raise our voices ih earnest reprobation of the practice. . What man, however degraded or debased, would suffer in his presence an indelicate allusion to tb mother who bore him-, his sister sr his wife, indeed of any female th whom ho feels an interest, and yet bW many there are, who, reposing eutirely.tmst is all-these, will in company of their own exi riia&e obscene or indelicate allusions of others, forgetting that they, also bars mothers, sisters or wives, and should be protected from coarseness qnite is much as their own families. The evil is not alone in remarks concerning individuals, but also in licentious conversa-' lion of s general character, for no party of men can properly appreciate lemalv purity who speak lightly upon this subject The truth is, tb&t advancing civilization does not seem to have dons us good in this particular, for we need much a little infusion of the old chival-rio element which almost deified woman, and scouted from decent socio ty any man who wantonly maligned her. A reform in tbty evil ol indelicate conversation would do mora do arrest libertinism than anything within our knowledge. Law fob thb Ladies. The fact that tbo ladies of Turkey have of late indulged them selves in wearing very thin veils and dresses, which allow their person to be seen too much, his elicited an imperial edict, of which tbe following are the essontial features: : "Henceforth all women, whoever they may be, on leaving tbeir houses, must wear thick veils which completely cover their features, and be clad In dresses of cloth etrotber suitable material, without embroidery,. trimmings or external ornaments of any kind. They must not show themselves out of: doors imply In stockings and slippers, but must wear half-boots in yellow morocco leather, or some other suitable covering (or the feet. When they go out to make purchases they are strictly prohibited from entering shops, but must atop on the oulsids' U be served, and must not wait longer than is absolutely necessary. When they are on the publlo promenades they must confine themselves to tbe part resorved for (em ales. - Any woman whj shall be guilty of acts against. the law will be severely pun ished.'

A letter from Yarmouth, referring to the Bailor's Home established there, describes the sufferings of three tailors who are now being taken care of in that institution, ' They were recently rescued from the mast of a sunken vessel, to which they bad been clinging for more than sixty hours. For three nights and two days they held on this uncertain sup port about eight feet above the raging sea without food and almost without clothing. The vessel had gone down in Harborough Sand, on Friday. They cliroed the mast and clung to it. A boy who was with tbem was unable to endure the fatigue, and was drown ed. On Sunday they were tantalized with the hope of immediate succor; a vessel saw their signals and heard their pries, and sent a boat to their relief, but, after buffeting with the wind and tide, they had the mortification to see her give up the attempt and return to the vessel. Then it was- that black despair took possession of tbem, and' tftey gave themselves up for lost, but clmgins to their frail support for an hour or two longer, they Heard a gun fire. This gave them fresh courage. The teasel stood irr and communicated with the shore, and a boat put off tb search for them, but they were such a specS on the ocean-, that; night coming on, they could not be seen.- For the third night, therefore,, they bud stil' to cling on, expecting every moment that the mast would go over and bury them in tbe deep. On Monday morning the shore boat made another attempt, fell in with them at ten o'clock, and landed them at Pulling, more- dead than alive. A Spartan Mother. The mother of Csppic, who resides at Springdale, Cedar county, Iowa, writes to tbe Davenport Gazette that she has three sons; one was "offered up as a willing sacrifice" in Vir ginia, on Friday, tbe 16th; tbe second is now in Canada; and the third and youngest is go ing to school at Springdale. She concludes ber letter thus: "I do net believe in the principles of war, or the taking of human life on any occasion; but my Bible tells me to do unto others as I would have them do unto me, and to undo the heavy burdens and let tbe oppressed go free, so. I leel it my duty to lend my influence in sup port of those divine truths. I am proud to say that I have endeavored to implant tbe seeds of the great principles of humanity in the minds ol my children, and am truly thankful to tbe great author of my boing that those seeds have taken root, and are springing up and producing the fruits which may in time repay the labor.. 1 ANN BALEY. TrS EkFBKSS' ArABTHEVTS AT THE Tcl- LBtisa. A correspondent of tbe Indepen dent Beige writes: I had the good fortune to visit the-ether day, the private apartments of tbe Empress at the Tuileries. Workmen hnd been engaged on them for two years, during the absence of their majesties. These suites of rooms which ran in a parallel line with the reception rooms on the drawing-room floor, consist of ante-chamber, a waiting room lor the ladies of honor, a saloon of audience, a private room for ber Majesty that is lossy the most retired and private roents of the suite. The Emperor, Whose preference for tbe style of Louis XVI. is well known, has desired ber apartments to beentirely decorat ed after the fashion and taste of Marie An toinette. M. Lcfuel received orders to renew the elegant ornamentation of Trianon in this Parisian palace. Art and industry have done marvels under his superintendence, so that we see again the grrceful arabesques, tbe rounded tapering' Volutes, (he exquisite gar lands, and the fine carvings of the latter part of tbe eighteenth century. OCT Recent arrivals' Ironv abroad report that tbe plan fei tbe emancipation of the serf. f Russia is steadify progressing under the auspices of the Central Committee.

The work is a vast one, and full of difficulties atevery step, involving in its progress the entire re-con struction of the social relations of the population in a way never before attempted on anything like a scale so grand and great. A Lauohino Jackass On board tbo Milwaukee there is an Australian curiosity nothing less than an Australian laughing jack ass. Tbe animal belongs to the feathered tribe, has feathers, wings and a long beak, and is about the size of an eagle-hawk, and is found nowhere else but on tbe Australian continent, It laughs like an old womao, and in the Australian forests at night it bas led many a wayfarer in search of an old lady in sncb a lonely condition. .This rnimal and the flying squirrel' have man- conflicts together, in which tbe jackass is generally victorious.

Political. iTaioo, Patriotism and Peace, Speech of flon.E. Jou ilorrii, of. Penntulva- nia. on Iht Etrciion of Sjuaker, and in defense Of tto jxoti lit, delivered tn the Houh of Jiep rtaentalivtt, December 8tb, 185i. Mr, Morris, of Pennsylvania, said: Mr. Clerk: Occupying, as I do, a perfectly independent political positron, lam at liberty, free from any particular party bios, to vote hi the election of Speaker, and on all questions which shall come before the House, whon H shall have been duly organized, according to my sense of duty to the country and my constituents. In such a position, I do not sym pathise with extreme men and measures, on either hand, and shall,as far as possible, avoid any countenance of, or ptrticipation in, tbe discussion of topics ot an exclusively sectional character, introduced merely tosti.uulato party passions, and inflame' local prejudices. As a Representative, Mr. Clerk, of an eminently conservative constituency, I am sur prised to see the deeply exciting question of slavery, the agitation of which has been so constantly deprecated as Inflaming the public mind and disturbing the peace of the country, prematurely introdusedS here by gentlemen representing slaveholding constituencies. Sir, lam opposed to all unnecessary agitation on the subject. I am willing to meet it only when it comes before us in the ordinary aetion ef a legislative body. But I protest against Ms', being thrust upon us now, before the House is organized, and to the obstruction of publio business, and in order to oonfuse the election of Speaker. There are msny tests, Mr. Clerk-, of the fidelity of men to the Constitution of the Uni ted States, and to the union and harmony of tbe country. Crises in or polities) history from time to time occur wblcb put men's prin ciples to a stern proof, when loyalty to the party and devotion to the country couae ki-i couflict, when the voice of patriotism or faction must be heeded; when tbe popular will or that of the Exective must be observed. In such a crisis stood my honorable friend from Ohio Mr, Sherman in the last Congress, du. ring the memorable struggle ou tbe admission of Kansas under the Lecompton constitution- Upon our action at that time depended not only tbe tranquility of the particular district of countiy about which we were legislating, but the peace ol tbe whole nation. Under previous legislation the people of Kansas were allowed to determine for themselves whether they wonld come Into the Un ion as a free or a slave State. While engaged in tbe solution of that important question, every act of fraud, violence and ruffianism perpetrated against them, to prevent the free expression of opinion, was countenanced by this wicked Administration, and a constitution was brought into this House which was not the act ol tbe people of Kansas. It was fraudulent from beginning to end; one which would not boar tbe test of investigation. When tbe House raised a committee for the purpose of investigating the frauds with which it was tainted, the Speaker for whom I en tertain personally the most profound respect violated the first principles of parliamentary Ww, and appointed a majority on the com mittee opposed to tho very object for which the House bad created it, and tkus defeated the exposure of the iniquitous proceedings by which the legal voice of the people of Kansas had been counterfeited. Here we sat, sir, for months, debating whether the mandate of an arbitrary Execu tive should be obeyed, and) that fraudulent constitution be forced on Kansas by the Fed eral Government. We knew tint if it were, it would lead to a bloody civil war a war that might oversprod tbe ftmhs of Kansas and embrace the whole natfwi in its flames. Where stood my honorable friend from Ohio Mr. Sherman? With bis bask firmly set against this despotio Administration, nobly maintaining tbe cause o' law and order, and the rights of the people, yieldiug not an inch during all that glorious struggle of popular privilege against Executive usurpation; from first to last, true as steel to truth and justice, foremost among the most able champions of the people. For bis gallant conduct during all that contest, lis shall have- my vote, as long as there is a possibility of electing htni Speaker of this House. I know, sir, that there Is-not in this Houss-a member more obnoxious; politically, to the Administration, than the gentleman from Ohio, Mr. Sherman, and whose election as 8peaker Is more justly dreaded by it. To hfm the conntry is indebted fur the investigation in the last Congress which brought to light tbe abuses and corruptions of the naval department, and which led to reformatory legislation, by which tbe Treasury will be in 1u- turs cua'ded against similar practices. If further investigation is necessary into the con duct of the Administration and if rumor and general suspicion are to be relied on it is ab solutely necessary the Administration bas jwt reason to fear from tbs well known firm- mss-and integrity of character of my friend Jr. Sherman tbst he will so sopolnt tbs reqpisite committees, as to procure a thorough and unsparing scrutiny into all the malpractices of ths Government. Tbs fact thst his resoluteness of purpose sod trarleas energy In the exposure of corruption, his provoked the fierce and malignant bats of ths ruling dynas ty and its servile minions, shoul i commend him to ths support of ill who wish to see the purity of the Government vindicated, and ve nality and political profligacy chastised with ths scorpion lash of public indlgnatfea. My constituents, Mr. Clerk, have too gnat iterests at stake in iht organization of this House to permit me to hesitate as to my choice of Speaker. I will vote for no candidate for that office who is not a true and proved friend of tbe :ause of protection. I know Mr. Sherman to be such, and I know that he will so organize the Committee of Ways and Means as to give that question a fair hearing, when a proposition for a revision of the tariff shall come before it. We have a right to expect that the business wants of the country shall be taken into consideration: that remedial measures shall be applied to existing evils, and that the voice of the great productive masses shall at least be heard and respected in the committee spucially cbaiged with the protection of their interests. The election of my friend from Ohio will be the surest guar antee of tho realization of such a hope. But, sir, apart from all this, I know the gentleman from Ohio Sir. Sherman to be a man of just and equable temper, ol a fair and honorable nature, and incapable of perverting parliamentary law into so instrument of partisan despotism. If I knew bim to be other- wire, or if I had the slightest doubt on the subject, I would not give him my vote at any time; as I will never aid in placing in that chair, Mr. Clerk, any man who will not ad minister the rules of the House with equal and exact justice toall parties.' But, Mr. Clerk, we are told that Mr. Sher man is one of those who signed the recommendation in favor of Helper's book. Very welt, sir; I did not sign it, and I claim no par-tienlar credit for not doing so, 1 have read-but little of the book. So far as I do know anything about it, I understand that it is a work written by a native of a southern State; a book peculiarly and almost exclusively addressed to southern men, reciting the experiences ef southern man, and dra wing scomparison- between the productiveness sod ths utility of fiee and slave labor. The book, sir must fall or stand upon its own merits. And what Is done here? Why, gentleman magni fy this book into a tremendous engine of mischief. They proclaim that this book and all who indorse it are ewpable of producing infinite mischief to the peace of th s country. They proclaim that all who indorse it indorse trea son. Has cot my honorable friend saib that, in so far rs that book expreises anything con trary to the Constitution ol the United States, so far be condemns It. Could any declaration be more unreserved, more candid, and, I may add, more acceptable, if gentlemen are willing to believe in the veracity of (heir peers upon this floor? What hive we to do with Mr. Helper's book more than with any other book? Ate we to sit bore.as a college of Jesuit censors to expurgate the literature of ths country? Are we to convert ourselves from a congressional and legislative body into a literary tri bunal, and pass in review the merits of every incendiary publication which may oa thrown out in the country, and hold gentlemen responsible for the sentiments of that publication in so far as they have read and indorsed it, directly or indirectly? Wby, sir, this is a most extraordinary proceeding. It lifts Mr. Helper into a consequence he never dreamed of attaining. It makts bim an enemy of the South more formidable than he ever aimed to be, if, indeed, be aims to bo in enemy cf the South at all. It makes bim an Instrument of mischief far beyond his capacity, and far beyond the Imagination of bis most partial admirers. This book, so full of mischief, which has been occupying tbe attention of Congt ess now nearly for an entire week, you bava asked the whole people of the United States to read and ponder upon. You have been dwelling and dwelling upon its inflammatory text, so that if it ever had any mis chief in it, you have increased the power of that mischief to sn incalculable extent. And, sir, what has been done upon this floor is in perfect consonance witb Ihe action of the Democratic party. Who repealed the Mis souri compromise? Who broke the bonds of peace which bad been signed thirty years before by the wise men of the North and of the South? The Democratic party. Who fram ed the Kansas-Xebrauka bill? The Democratic party. Who refused to carry out the provisions of tbe Kansas. Nebraska bill? Who deluded the popls of Kansas into tha idei thit thev were to hive a free expression of their will on their organic form of government, and then denied it them? The Demo- eTatfe party. Who brings the question of slavery first into this Hall? Tbo Democratic party, Wbo delays the orgtnization of this House by factious expedients, snd keeps the country ih s state of dingerous excitement by the violent discussion of the silvery question, hen it is totally uncalled for? Tbs Repre sentatives of lbs Dsmocratio party. For ill ths sectional bitterness now prevailing, and which grows out of the slavery sgitatlon, the Democratic party is responsible. By (hat it lives, and by that it will perish. Notwithstanding then facta, we are daily told that ths North is tbs disturber of the peace f tne esnntry tbat-it is implicated in acts of conspiracy snd outrage igainit the pevple of the southern States; and that it is sponsible for the acllrof John Brown, and the senlimenls of slew ladlcaf ana? fanatical orators. I am no apologist fur Ihe North. Ths Xorth needs no spot igy, ind bis nons to give. It is loyil to the Constitution; it is loyal to (he Union; ind they who seek to mis guide and Impiess the people of ths Ruuth with the idea that the people of lbs North, as a body, srs hostile to them, do it for tbs purpose of factious miachi.1 a mischief that will have a wider rings, snd be stlended by far more pernicious cooNqnenees, thin they, In their ihnrt-stgbted lolly, imagine. Mr. Clerk, G od forbid that I, as tbs Representative of cense rvetivs eonstltosBcy, should have any part in embroiling different section.-! of the country, or in miweprefonting one section of the country to the other, fur mere political purposes and partisan, aims., ft is impossible for the people of ths North aihl of the South to live together in amity snd concord so long as ths actions of individuals, or the actions ofsmall bodies, are taken is indices of dominant sentiment in those sections. Sir, the constituency I in pirt represent i. an eminently loyal one. It his no sympathy with John Brown, or for those who incited him, directly or indirectly, to his mail crusade in Virginia. The people of tbe city of Phila delphia, where ths Hall of Independence still remains, cherish deeply the feelings snd mo-lives that led our ancestors lo the Declaration of Independence, and the Union which sprang from it. They are animated by the sacred associations of (hat Hall, and they know that that Uiiioo can exist only so long as North ind Sou ill ind ill sections tespvet their respective reserved right-. Woof the North Insist that we iro not to be made a pKrtictp crimihit in ihe.s transactions. We insist that it is a false sgd unwarranted charge, Yes, sir;' it if a libel, it is unjust, and It is a calumny, to hold the whole budy of the northern peoplo responsible for the acts of tbe leader of a band of madmen. Was the whole South, Mr. Clerk, held responsible when the Legislature of South Carolina passed an ordi-1 riani-.A rlaliluiriitftltr niillift-inir thu latrn nf fh! J .......j .... United States? Did we identify the whole South with the people of South Carolina, or with the nullifying party in South Carolina, which was in favor of armed resistance to the laws of tha United States? No, sir; we heard from ths loyal Slates of North Carolina, Tennessee, and others, indignant protestations against the South being incriminated in Ih action of South Carolina. When tbo President of the United States, a native of Tennessee, issued his celebrated proclamation against tbe nullifying resolutions of South Carolina, he met with a response, not Irom the North alone, but from the East and West, and all the loyal men of the South. AflcT the secession recommendations of the Nashville convention of 1850 fell powerless upon ths hearts of tho loyal people of tbe South. Ws never believed that tbs whole peoplo of ths South were ripe for these sectional schemes of aggrandizement and separation of the Union. Nor do 1 believe tbat any considerable portion of them now, through the agency of seoiet societies, can be welded together to form a deliberate plan for the es tablishinent of a southern slavenoldfog confederacy, and a dissolution of the Uuion for that purpose. You might as well expect the people of tbe North to identify the whole people of the South with tfoe reopening of the slave tiade. You might as well expect us to believe that everybody there Is in favor of the revival of' that accursed traffio, because certain leading public men and presses advocate it. On the contrary, we know" that one, at least, of. the members of the present Cabins snd that some of the chief statesmen of tbe South are arrayed against it, and we know that all truly humane and Christian men there abhor this infamous scheme. Ws have no fears upon that subject.

What ere we do, where ere we go, Adveraity is felt and seen Which teaches us what we should know-That life ii but dream. The iter in early life beams fair, The morning seems serene; Bnt ere the high meridian ' put,- Life proves itself dream. The shade of evening finds ns still With sorrow's cup filled to the brim Even our happiness is vain, For life is but dream. Thus dreaming through the world we go-, Until Death closes on the scene; The cold, cold sweat stands on our brow, . Indeed, life Is a dream. Libertinism in Conversation. Among the moat prominent causes which directly contribute to engender thoughts and speculation unfavorable to female chastity, is the style of conversation commonly indulged in by men of all classes while meeting togeth er alone, unchecked or restrained by the pres ence of women. At the social board, in the public bar-room, or on the streets, men of cul tivation and refinement is well as those of lower ind more debased mind, without being, it may be positively obscene, are accustomed to indulge in remarks or indelicate allusions which, if uttered by others in the presence of a female of their own. families, would meet instant and . fearful retribution. These ro marks, in many instances no doubt are mere words, not stirring with ripple even the inner leelings of the utterer, but, they are too often listened too by the, young and comparative in gehuous man, who, perhaps, blushing as the unaccustomed sounds fall upon hia oar, tasen sibly admits then into a mind therefore train ed by a careful mother, to regard woman and woman's virtue as among the most sacred things of earth. He bad before learned to speak with reverence and love of the opposite sex Judging all by jthe standard of his Bother; but, listening ts lewd, double tn tenders or exciting remarks, clothed probably in choice languago, he learns insensibly to separate his own family from the rest of the world, and enshrining thenv in the inner easket of his heart m pure and holy, he comes to believe that female virtue and purity, outside of his own household, is a rare commodity. We dislike to speak of these things, yet the (ViVis Becoming so glaring, that a public jour-riatist sfloUld not held-bis hand, and we there fore raise our voices ih earnest reprobation of the practice. . What man, however degraded or debased, would suffer in his presence an indelicate allusion to tb mother who bore him-, his sister sr his wife, indeed of any female th whom ho feels an interest, and yet bW many there are, who, reposing eutirely.tmst is all-these, will in company of their own exi riia&e obscene or indelicate allusions of others, forgetting that they, also bars mothers, sisters or wives, and should be protected from coarseness qnite is much as their own families. The evil is not alone in remarks concerning individuals, but also in licentious conversa-' lion of s general character, for no party of men can properly appreciate lemalv purity who speak lightly upon this subject The truth is, tb&t advancing civilization does not seem to have dons us good in this particular, for we need much a little infusion of the old chival-rio element which almost deified woman, and scouted from decent socio ty any man who wantonly maligned her. A reform in tbty evil ol indelicate conversation would do mora do arrest libertinism than anything within our knowledge. Law fob thb Ladies. The fact that tbo ladies of Turkey have of late indulged them selves in wearing very thin veils and dresses, which allow their person to be seen too much, his elicited an imperial edict, of which tbe following are the essontial features: : "Henceforth all women, whoever they may be, on leaving tbeir houses, must wear thick veils which completely cover their features, and be clad In dresses of cloth etrotber suitable material, without embroidery,. trimmings or external ornaments of any kind. They must not show themselves out of: doors imply In stockings and slippers, but must wear half-boots in yellow morocco leather, or some other suitable covering (or the feet. When they go out to make purchases they are strictly prohibited from entering shops, but must atop on the oulsids' U be served, and must not wait longer than is absolutely necessary. When they are on the publlo promenades they must confine themselves to tbe part resorved for (em ales. - Any woman whj shall be guilty of acts against. the law will be severely pun ished.'

A letter from Yarmouth, referring to the Bailor's Home established there, describes the sufferings of three tailors who are now being taken care of in that institution, ' They were recently rescued from the mast of a sunken vessel, to which they bad been clinging for more than sixty hours. For three nights and two days they held on this uncertain sup port about eight feet above the raging sea without food and almost without clothing. The vessel had gone down in Harborough Sand, on Friday. They cliroed the mast and clung to it. A boy who was with tbem was unable to endure the fatigue, and was drown ed. On Sunday they were tantalized with the hope of immediate succor; a vessel saw their signals and heard their pries, and sent a boat to their relief, but, after buffeting with the wind and tide, they had the mortification to see her give up the attempt and return to the vessel. Then it was- that black despair took possession of tbem, and' tftey gave themselves up for lost, but clmgins to their frail support for an hour or two longer, they Heard a gun fire. This gave them fresh courage. The teasel stood irr and communicated with the shore, and a boat put off tb search for them, but they were such a specS on the ocean-, that; night coming on, they could not be seen.- For the third night, therefore,, they bud stil' to cling on, expecting every moment that the mast would go over and bury them in tbe deep. On Monday morning the shore boat made another attempt, fell in with them at ten o'clock, and landed them at Pulling, more- dead than alive. A Spartan Mother. The mother of Csppic, who resides at Springdale, Cedar county, Iowa, writes to tbe Davenport Gazette that she has three sons; one was "offered up as a willing sacrifice" in Vir ginia, on Friday, tbe 16th; tbe second is now in Canada; and the third and youngest is go ing to school at Springdale. She concludes ber letter thus: "I do net believe in the principles of war, or the taking of human life on any occasion; but my Bible tells me to do unto others as I would have them do unto me, and to undo the heavy burdens and let tbe oppressed go free, so. I leel it my duty to lend my influence in sup port of those divine truths. I am proud to say that I have endeavored to implant tbe seeds of the great principles of humanity in the minds ol my children, and am truly thankful to tbe great author of my boing that those seeds have taken root, and are springing up and producing the fruits which may in time repay the labor.. 1 ANN BALEY. TrS EkFBKSS' ArABTHEVTS AT THE Tcl- LBtisa. A correspondent of tbe Indepen dent Beige writes: I had the good fortune to visit the-ether day, the private apartments of tbe Empress at the Tuileries. Workmen hnd been engaged on them for two years, during the absence of their majesties. These suites of rooms which ran in a parallel line with the reception rooms on the drawing-room floor, consist of ante-chamber, a waiting room lor the ladies of honor, a saloon of audience, a private room for ber Majesty that is lossy the most retired and private roents of the suite. The Emperor, Whose preference for tbe style of Louis XVI. is well known, has desired ber apartments to beentirely decorat ed after the fashion and taste of Marie An toinette. M. Lcfuel received orders to renew the elegant ornamentation of Trianon in this Parisian palace. Art and industry have done marvels under his superintendence, so that we see again the grrceful arabesques, tbe rounded tapering' Volutes, (he exquisite gar lands, and the fine carvings of the latter part of tbe eighteenth century. OCT Recent arrivals' Ironv abroad report that tbe plan fei tbe emancipation of the serf. f Russia is steadify progressing under the auspices of the Central Committee. This Com mittee bos lately been1 divided into three, each having a distinct department one the financial, another the administrative, and the third the judicial to whom iff committed tbe examination of questions-of tie highest importance such as the territorial boundary and population of each' cooxnune, the elections, interior governmenti territorial police, publici ty of judicial proceedings, Sec. The work is a vast one, and full of difficulties atevery step, involving in its progress the entire re-con struction of the social relations of the population in a way never before attempted on anything like a scale so grand and great. A Lauohino Jackass On board tbo Milwaukee there is an Australian curiosity nothing less than an Australian laughing jack ass. Tbe animal belongs to the feathered tribe, has feathers, wings and a long beak, and is about the size of an eagle-hawk, and is found nowhere else but on tbe Australian continent, It laughs like an old womao, and in the Australian forests at night it bas led many a wayfarer in search of an old lady in sncb a lonely condition. .This rnimal and the flying squirrel' have man- conflicts together, in which tbe jackass is generally victorious.

Political. iTaioo, Patriotism and Peace, Speech of flon.E. Jou ilorrii, of. Penntulva- nia. on Iht Etrciion of Sjuaker, and in defense Of tto jxoti lit, delivered tn the Houh of Jiep rtaentalivtt, December 8tb, 185i. Mr, Morris, of Pennsylvania, said: Mr. Clerk: Occupying, as I do, a perfectly independent political positron, lam at liberty, free from any particular party bios, to vote hi the election of Speaker, and on all questions which shall come before the House, whon H shall have been duly organized, according to my sense of duty to the country and my constituents. In such a position, I do not sym pathise with extreme men and measures, on either hand, and shall,as far as possible, avoid any countenance of, or ptrticipation in, tbe discussion of topics ot an exclusively sectional character, introduced merely tosti.uulato party passions, and inflame' local prejudices. As a Representative, Mr. Clerk, of an eminently conservative constituency, I am sur prised to see the deeply exciting question of slavery, the agitation of which has been so constantly deprecated as Inflaming the public mind and disturbing the peace of the country, prematurely introdusedS here by gentlemen representing slaveholding constituencies. Sir, lam opposed to all unnecessary agitation on the subject. I am willing to meet it only when it comes before us in the ordinary aetion ef a legislative body. But I protest against Ms', being thrust upon us now, before the House is organized, and to the obstruction of publio business, and in order to oonfuse the election of Speaker. There are msny tests, Mr. Clerk-, of the fidelity of men to the Constitution of the Uni ted States, and to the union and harmony of tbe country. Crises in or polities) history from time to time occur wblcb put men's prin ciples to a stern proof, when loyalty to the party and devotion to the country couae ki-i couflict, when the voice of patriotism or faction must be heeded; when tbe popular will or that of the Exective must be observed. In such a crisis stood my honorable friend from Ohio Mr, Sherman in the last Congress, du. ring the memorable struggle ou tbe admission of Kansas under the Lecompton constitution- Upon our action at that time depended not only tbe tranquility of the particular district of countiy about which we were legislating, but the peace ol tbe whole nation. Under previous legislation the people of Kansas were allowed to determine for themselves whether they wonld come Into the Un ion as a free or a slave State. While engaged in tbe solution of that important question, every act of fraud, violence and ruffianism perpetrated against them, to prevent the free expression of opinion, was countenanced by this wicked Administration, and a constitution was brought into this House which was not the act ol tbe people of Kansas. It was fraudulent from beginning to end; one which would not boar tbe test of investigation. When tbe House raised a committee for the purpose of investigating the frauds with which it was tainted, the Speaker for whom I en tertain personally the most profound respect violated the first principles of parliamentary Ww, and appointed a majority on the com mittee opposed to tho very object for which the House bad created it, and tkus defeated the exposure of the iniquitous proceedings by which the legal voice of the people of Kansas had been counterfeited. Here we sat, sir, for months, debating whether the mandate of an arbitrary Execu tive should be obeyed, and) that fraudulent constitution be forced on Kansas by the Fed eral Government. We knew tint if it were, it would lead to a bloody civil war a war that might oversprod tbe ftmhs of Kansas and embrace the whole natfwi in its flames. Where stood my honorable friend from Ohio Mr. Sherman? With bis bask firmly set against this despotio Administration, nobly maintaining tbe cause o' law and order, and the rights of the people, yieldiug not an inch during all that glorious struggle of popular privilege against Executive usurpation; from first to last, true as steel to truth and justice, foremost among the most able champions of the people. For bis gallant conduct during all that contest, lis shall have- my vote, as long as there is a possibility of electing htni Speaker of this House. I know, sir, that there Is-not in this Houss-a member more obnoxious; politically, to the Administration, than the gentleman from Ohio, Mr. Sherman, and whose election as 8peaker Is more justly dreaded by it. To hfm the conntry is indebted fur the investigation in the last Congress which brought to light tbe abuses and corruptions of the naval department, and which led to reformatory legislation, by which tbe Treasury will be in 1u- turs cua'ded against similar practices. If further investigation is necessary into the con duct of the Administration and if rumor and general suspicion are to be relied on it is ab solutely necessary the Administration bas jwt reason to fear from tbs well known firm- mss-and integrity of character of my friend Jr. Sherman tbst he will so sopolnt tbs reqpisite committees, as to procure a thorough and unsparing scrutiny into all the malpractices of ths Government. Tbs fact thst his resoluteness of purpose sod trarleas energy In the exposure of corruption, his provoked the fierce and malignant bats of ths ruling dynas ty and its servile minions, shoul i commend him to ths support of ill who wish to see the purity of the Government vindicated, and ve nality and political profligacy chastised with ths scorpion lash of public indlgnatfea. My constituents, Mr. Clerk, have too gnat iterests at stake in iht organization of this House to permit me to hesitate as to my choice of Speaker. I will vote for no candidate for that office who is not a true and proved friend of tbe :ause of protection. I know Mr. Sherman to be such, and I know that he will so organize the Committee of Ways and Means as to give that question a fair hearing, when a proposition for a revision of the tariff shall come before it. We have a right to expect that the business wants of the country shall be taken into consideration: that remedial measures shall be applied to existing evils, and that the voice of the great productive masses shall at least be heard and respected in the committee spucially cbaiged with the protection of their interests. The election of my friend from Ohio will be the surest guar antee of tho realization of such a hope. But, sir, apart from all this, I know the gentleman from Ohio Sir. Sherman to be a man of just and equable temper, ol a fair and honorable nature, and incapable of perverting parliamentary law into so instrument of partisan despotism. If I knew bim to be other- wire, or if I had the slightest doubt on the subject, I would not give him my vote at any time; as I will never aid in placing in that chair, Mr. Clerk, any man who will not ad minister the rules of the House with equal and exact justice toall parties.' But, Mr. Clerk, we are told that Mr. Sher man is one of those who signed the recommendation in favor of Helper's book. Very welt, sir; I did not sign it, and I claim no par-tienlar credit for not doing so, 1 have read-but little of the book. So far as I do know anything about it, I understand that it is a work written by a native of a southern State; a book peculiarly and almost exclusively addressed to southern men, reciting the experiences ef southern man, and dra wing scomparison- between the productiveness sod ths utility of fiee and slave labor. The book, sir must fall or stand upon its own merits. And what Is done here? Why, gentleman magni fy this book into a tremendous engine of mischief. They proclaim that this book and all who indorse it are ewpable of producing infinite mischief to the peace of th s country. They proclaim that all who indorse it indorse trea son. Has cot my honorable friend saib that, in so far rs that book expreises anything con trary to the Constitution ol the United States, so far be condemns It. Could any declaration be more unreserved, more candid, and, I may add, more acceptable, if gentlemen are willing to believe in the veracity of (heir peers upon this floor? What hive we to do with Mr. Helper's book more than with any other book? Ate we to sit bore.as a college of Jesuit censors to expurgate the literature of ths country? Are we to convert ourselves from a congressional and legislative body into a literary tri bunal, and pass in review the merits of every incendiary publication which may oa thrown out in the country, and hold gentlemen responsible for the sentiments of that publication in so far as they have read and indorsed it, directly or indirectly? Wby, sir, this is a most extraordinary proceeding. It lifts Mr. Helper into a consequence he never dreamed of attaining. It makts bim an enemy of the South more formidable than he ever aimed to be, if, indeed, be aims to bo in enemy cf the South at all. It makes bim an Instrument of mischief far beyond his capacity, and far beyond the Imagination of bis most partial admirers. This book, so full of mischief, which has been occupying tbe attention of Congt ess now nearly for an entire week, you bava asked the whole people of the United States to read and ponder upon. You have been dwelling and dwelling upon its inflammatory text, so that if it ever had any mis chief in it, you have increased the power of that mischief to sn incalculable extent. And, sir, what has been done upon this floor is in perfect consonance witb Ihe action of the Democratic party. Who repealed the Mis souri compromise? Who broke the bonds of peace which bad been signed thirty years before by the wise men of the North and of the South? The Democratic party. Who fram ed the Kansas-Xebrauka bill? The Democratic party. Who refused to carry out the provisions of tbe Kansas. Nebraska bill? Who deluded the popls of Kansas into tha idei thit thev were to hive a free expression of their will on their organic form of government, and then denied it them? The Demo- eTatfe party. Who brings the question of slavery first into this Hall? Tbo Democratic party, Wbo delays the orgtnization of this House by factious expedients, snd keeps the country ih s state of dingerous excitement by the violent discussion of the silvery question, hen it is totally uncalled for? Tbs Repre sentatives of lbs Dsmocratio party. For ill ths sectional bitterness now prevailing, and which grows out of the slavery sgitatlon, the Democratic party is responsible. By (hat it lives, and by that it will perish. Notwithstanding then facta, we are daily told that ths North is tbs disturber of the peace f tne esnntry tbat-it is implicated in acts of conspiracy snd outrage igainit the pevple of the southern States; and that it is sponsible for the acllrof John Brown, and the senlimenls of slew ladlcaf ana? fanatical orators. I am no apologist fur Ihe North. Ths Xorth needs no spot igy, ind bis nons to give. It is loyil to the Constitution; it is loyal to (he Union; ind they who seek to mis guide and Impiess the people of ths Ruuth with the idea that the people of lbs North, as a body, srs hostile to them, do it for tbs purpose of factious miachi.1 a mischief that will have a wider rings, snd be stlended by far more pernicious cooNqnenees, thin they, In their ihnrt-stgbted lolly, imagine. Mr. Clerk, G od forbid that I, as tbs Representative of cense rvetivs eonstltosBcy, should have any part in embroiling different section.-! of the country, or in miweprefonting one section of the country to the other, fur mere political purposes and partisan, aims., ft is impossible for the people of ths North aihl of the South to live together in amity snd concord so long as ths actions of individuals, or the actions ofsmall bodies, are taken is indices of dominant sentiment in those sections. Sir, the constituency I in pirt represent i. an eminently loyal one. It his no sympathy with John Brown, or for those who incited him, directly or indirectly, to his mail crusade in Virginia. The people of tbe city of Phila delphia, where ths Hall of Independence still remains, cherish deeply the feelings snd mo-lives that led our ancestors lo the Declaration of Independence, and the Union which sprang from it. They are animated by the sacred associations of (hat Hall, and they know that that Uiiioo can exist only so long as North ind Sou ill ind ill sections tespvet their respective reserved right-. Woof the North Insist that we iro not to be made a pKrtictp crimihit in ihe.s transactions. We insist that it is a false sgd unwarranted charge, Yes, sir;' it if a libel, it is unjust, and It is a calumny, to hold the whole budy of the northern peoplo responsible for the acts of tbe leader of a band of madmen. Was the whole South, Mr. Clerk, held responsible when the Legislature of South Carolina passed an ordi-1 riani-.A rlaliluiriitftltr niillift-inir thu latrn nf fh! J .......j .... United States? Did we identify the whole South with the people of South Carolina, or with the nullifying party in South Carolina, which was in favor of armed resistance to the laws of tha United States? No, sir; we heard from ths loyal Slates of North Carolina, Tennessee, and others, indignant protestations against the South being incriminated in Ih action of South Carolina. When tbo President of the United States, a native of Tennessee, issued his celebrated proclamation against tbe nullifying resolutions of South Carolina, he met with a response, not Irom the North alone, but from the East and West, and all the loyal men of the South. AflcT the secession recommendations of the Nashville convention of 1850 fell powerless upon ths hearts of tho loyal people of tbe South. Ws never believed that tbs whole peoplo of ths South were ripe for these sectional schemes of aggrandizement and separation of the Union. Nor do 1 believe tbat any considerable portion of them now, through the agency of seoiet societies, can be welded together to form a deliberate plan for the es tablishinent of a southern slavenoldfog confederacy, and a dissolution of the Uuion for that purpose. You might as well expect the people of tbe North to identify the whole people of the South with tfoe reopening of the slave tiade. You might as well expect us to believe that everybody there Is in favor of the revival of' that accursed traffio, because certain leading public men and presses advocate it. On the contrary, we know" that one, at least, of. the members of the present Cabins snd that some of the chief statesmen of tbe South are arrayed against it, and we know that all truly humane and Christian men there abhor this infamous scheme. Ws have no fears upon that subject. Then wby, gentlemen ei the South whys when ws refuse to involve you in these general charges and odious suspicions ss an entire people, do you persist in this war of crimina tion and misrepresentation against the North, when you cannot really believe in your hearts that thn whole people of tbat part of the country entertain unconstitutional designs against the South,? No, sir; for one I am for the Union; I am for peace; I am for law; and never until ths last moment shall I despair of making this glorious Union, aad the Constitution dependent upon it, perpetual. I hope we may be able to live together like a band of brothers; but, sir, wo never can, so long as preritTc-men come into this Hall and insist nnnn a course of misrepresentation, and upon involv. ing innocent people in the acts of a criminal : few. v In the name of my constit'ierts ot Phiia-rKlphis, at least, and of the patriot State of Pennsylvania, I protest igiinst ths assaults upon our character is a law observing and constitutionally loyal people. There is net city or Stats that is more ready to resist sg gression in every ships and form in which it may be mads igainst the people of any pr tion of the Union.
