yiasfl‘ SESSION.
From the NeI.bI-Yorker Qf Saturday. .
The bill, authorising a~fresliis_s1l& of.._T_|'e8-
sury.INotes to the amount of Five_M|ll|°hS
of Dollars, passed-the House on Friday eve-
ning of last weel.',,by the decisive vote of
110 to 66. All the amendments offered had
been previously iejccted. The vote was
‘pretty strictly a party-one—Messi's. J. Camp-
bell of S..(‘.., (Chairmzin of the Committee _of
Elections,) Black, M. A. Cooper, and Nis-
bet, of Geo. all the Sub Treasury members
from South Carolina. "ml l0"l'.°l ‘he “9“'l.V
admitted men from N. Jersey, V0003 l°"lh°
bill, with all._thc Administration members
resent. A furious political debate, having
little reference to the merits of the bill. im-
mediately preceded its passage. - There was
some personal sparring between Messrs
Graves, of Ky., and Pickens. of S. _C., and
‘also between Messrs. Smith, of Maine, and
Morgan, of N. Y.
The bill came up in the Senate as a spe-
cial order at 1 o'clock on Monday, and was
ably defended by Mr. Hubbard of N. ll., in
the absence of Mr. Wright, dttained at home
by illness in his family. Mrrwebster op-
posed its passage with all his power. He
condemned the Post Note Policy as mista-
ken an-.l injurious, and contended thattlie
Government oiig.l:it.to go fairly into the mar-
ket and‘borrow money if it needed. ‘ He in’-
sisted that the present Administration had in
three years spent Twenty Millions of Dol-
lars beyond the income of the Government,
‘and that this was a; bill to borrow and spend
Five Millions more. illlo insisted that the
reduction of the il'i1I'.i‘fl‘i and the consequent
excess of importation, were among the causes
of our existing euibarrassments.
Messrs. Benton and Buchanan considered
this way of raising money by Post Notes as
every way objectionable and dangerous. The
latter voted for it, however, asthe only prac-
ticable mode of raising money at present.
Mr. Smith, of Ind. condemned the measure
in. toto, but was willing to let the Adminis-
tration take the responsibility. The bill
finally passed; ayes 25; noes 8. Mr. Ben-
ton aiiiong the nays.
The House sp nt Saturday on Private
Bills.
Monday was petition day in the House,
anda great number were presented. One
of them related to the African Slave-Trade,
and it was decided that it could not be re-
ceived ‘under the rule. Mr. Giddings, of
Ohio, opposed this decision, but it was sus-
tained bya decisive vote. Mr. Adams stated
that he had five hundred and eleven. petitions
to present, which, to save time, he would
submit in a body, and let the Speaker pick
out those which the House would not receive
under its January resolution, and hand them
back to him: referring the others as was
proper. Several Southern members fancied
there was some mischiefconcealed under this
proposition, but it was adopted to save time.
So the Speaker has a task before him.
Mr. Webster, in presenting to the Senate
a memorial fzivorableto a General Bankrupt
L-1w, urged the absolute necessity of such a
measure, and offered his aid in drawipg up
the bill. Mr. Tallmadge expressed similar
views and feelings. Mr. Wall accepted
with pleasure the proflers of aid from those
Senators, and said that the Judiciary Com-
mittee would soon report on the_ subject.
Mr. Webster has given much attention to the
subject, and has already - prepared 3 bl”-
Several meinoririls in favor of the measure
were presented.
Petitions for it duty on imported Silk, and
for the Protection of Naturalized Citizens
againstthe consequences ofthe British claim
of perpetual allegiance, were received. Also
one from Thomas W. Goin, of this city,
founder ofthe Naval School, for some remu-
neration for his time and money expended in
establishing and maintaining it. The School
was established in 1837, in pursuance of a
1,1“; of Congress, and already rriore than
2,000 boys have been instructed in it. At
present eleven-twelfths of the sailors cin-
ployed in the naval and merchant service of
the United States are of foreign birth. This
institution is intended to correct this anomaly.
Mr Linn, of Mo. presented a report from
a Select Committee on the subject ofthc Or-
egon Territory. _
Mr. Lumpkin, of Ga. called up his reso-
lutions to adjourn on the l8th of May, which
be amended so as to read the lst of June. It
was warmly opposed by Messrs. Benton,
Buchanan, Tallinadge, Allen, -and Linn.
Mr. Tappan moved that it do he on the table.

The Cumberland Road Bill was taken up,
and M,‘ wright advocated its passage.—
Messrs. Clay of Ala., and Phelps Of Vt-. OP-
posed it. .—
On Tuesday. Mr. Adams called the atten-
tion of the House to a letter whicri he had
received from the Secretary of the '1‘rcasJ ry.
pressing the passage of a bill reported by
him (Mr. A.) from the Committee on Manu-
factures, for a revision ofthc Revenue Laws.
Mr. Vlloodbury states that under a construc-
ken off, and tlie Treasury had been deprived
of millions ofdollars. The merchants were
now making their spring importations, and
it was important that the Treasury should be
supplied with a new revision of the Revenue.

Mr. Adams impressed upon the House the
necessity of action upon this matter. and the
bill heretofore introtlu ad upon this subject
from the Committee on Manufactures, was
made the Special order of the da for Tues-
day next, to take precedence of al other bu-
3;,-“.53 except the appropriation bills.

Mr. Webster submitted his bill, for which
Mr. ‘Vail cordially thanked him. ' ,
The Cumberland Road Billwasthc order
ofthe day. Mr. Clay, of Ky}, though friend-
ly to the measure, thoughtthere would be no
justice in confining appropriations for Inter-
nal Improvementto three or four States. The
Senate refuscd—I9 to I7—to strike out the
clause, taking the_ money required for the
prosecution of this work, from the ‘two per
cent--fund’ reserved from all receipts for Pub-_
lic Lands for such purposes. Mr. Clay, of
Ala , proposed to relinquish the Road to the
States through which it passes, and the two
per cent fund a tong with it. Mr. Preston.
of S. C. follow gd him in advocacy of the
amendment, and Mr..Yoiing. of Ill, replied,
Mr. IV;-bster referred tQ_tl~_'_~ part he liad-up
ken in regard to il.t_-;,,.0,.|,.' and spoke mod.
erately it‘. its favor. Mr. Calhoun denounced
the whhle busiticss of National Improved‘
meat as corrupting and dangerous. The
bill was finally laid aside, and the Senate
proceeded to the considcnition of Executive
business. . -
In the House, Mr. Mcdill, of Ohio,_ con-
cluded his speech in defence of the majority
of the Cominittec of Elections in regard to
the New Jersey contest.
The House then pissed to the order of-the
day, being the bill to preserve the Freedom
ofElectious, and Mr. Bell, of Tenn. conclu-
ded his speech thereon. The House then
adjourned.
FOREIGN NE WS.
By the arrival ofilie packet ship Montreal,
London papers have been received to the 7th of
March. The news is not very highly interest
iug.
In the House of Commons’ on the 2d,
Lord John Russell stated that he had no ob-
jection to lay before the House all the pa-
pers on the subject of the North Eastern
Boundary, but he observed that the question
was scarcely yet in a state to be discussed in
Parliament.
On the same day Sir James Graham gave
public notice that if the documents respect-
ing China were not laid before the Houseby
Thursday next, he should move an address
for the presentation of all papers relating to
our commercial intercourse with that coun-
try. ' ,

A new French Ministry had been formed.
The French were augnientingtheir forces

creased to 60,000.
There was a riot at Madrid on the 24th
February, in the Hall of the Cortes. The

ry, ammunition, and a great quantity of pro‘
visions were taken. Madrid was tranquil‘
on the 27th, butthc siege continued.
At Lisbon, by the last advices, there was
some talk of war with England.
Extract from the speech of Mr. Clay in opposi-
lionto the Sub Treasury Bill:
Mr. President, fortcn long ycurs we have
been warring against the alarming groivih
ofExecutive power; but, although we have
been occasionally cheered, it has been con-
stantly advancing and never receding. You
may talk as you please about bank expan-
sions;—-tliere has been no pernicious expan-
sions iii this country like that of Executive
power; nor any periods of contraction. You
may denounce as you please the usurpations
of Congress ;-—there has been no usurpa-
tions but that of the Executive, which has
been both ofthc powers of other co-ordinate
departments of this Government, and upon
the States. There scarcely remains any
power in this Government but that of the
President. He suggests, originates, con-
trols, checks every thing. The insatiable
spirit of the Stuarts for power and preroga
tive, was brought upon our American throne
on the 4th of March, 1829. It came under
all the usual false and hypocritical pretences
and disguises of love of the’ people, desire of
reform. and diflidcnce of power. The Scotch
dynasty still continues. We have had
Charles the First, and now have Charles the
Second. But I again thank God that our
deliverance is not distant; and that, on the
4th of March, 1841, a great and glorious
revolution, without blood and without con-
vulsion, will be achieved.

Born and educated in the ‘Vest. he has
known Gen. Harrison personally, and been
familiar with his public life since the com-
rrienceinent of the war. He has known Mr.
Van Buren, and clcsely observed his career
since 1826.
The chief inducement to resume the ardu-
ous and responsible duties of an editor, is the
hope that he may now contribute something
towards the election of General Harrison.
The fidelity, ability, firmness, and modera-
tion with which that eminent citizen has dis-
charged the most responsible and difficult

of the measure. He had not concluded when

Strange P/renome7ion..—On the night of
the I7th inst., the family of Mr. James Dan-
iels, of Cook's Manor, U. C., were awaken-
ed by a severe shock like that of an earth-
quake. In the morning it was discovered
that a meteor,judged to be about three times
the size ofan ordinary farm house, had struck
the earth some 80 rods distant from l\lr. D.’s
dwelling, with it force which burried its en-
tire bulk about eiglit inches below the sur-
face. Sandwicli. II-.'r. The size of the nic-
