GOV. JOHNNON. Our almost ex-governor was reported to be very ill oni the night of The 1st inst., and mucil better by mid-day of the 2nd.. CONGRESS. The regular dlay for the meeting of this body was..Monday last, the 4th inst. The monbers have been rapidly pouring intc Washington. It is apprehended there wvill be some hot work this session in regard te the Wilmtot Proviso and the Mexican territo. ry lately acquired. ~A nmember of the House from Pennsylvania is pledged to his constitu. ents to introdluce a bill, at the commaencement of the session, providing for the government of California with the attachment of the pro. viso. Address to the Irish and their Descendante in T he United states and British Provincen by IHibernicus. We. have been induced te refer to this pamphlet for the purpose of no. ticing the plan unfolded in it, for the ameliora. tion of the distressed Irish. It -is that socie ties of Irishmen and their decondants and others in this country favorable to the cause should be formed, for the purpose of remit. ting money to Ireland to transport to this country, and other open countries in Nortt and South America- and elsewhere, as mans as possible of the relatives of the members o theso societies, and settle themn in varlous part.., as owvners or tenants of land, according as arrangomenta may be made with benevo lent land owners. It is proposed that suct societies should be formed in every city, town village, district and county in the Unitei~ State., wherever Irishmen end their friendi exist; that there should be chief societies ai suitable places in 'each btate, and a su. perintending national society. To this end it is urged on Irishmen as a duty to preserv among themselves "harmony, imanimity an peace." tiuch a plan is well calculated t< effect the objects in view, and, in other mat ters, has been found to possess great eficeien cy. Several ordors and societies exist ii this country with the same organization car ried out in detail.. Mhould our Irish friendi be able to -effect their objects, there Is na doubt that it will- result in benefit to thoiu countrymen. LJEGISLA'IfURE. This body convened on the 27th ult..
