Correspondence if the Tribune.
. MONDAY. July 5.
The Senate has not been in session to day.
The House met, and a vote was taken on
going into the coiiirnittce of the whole.
which prevailetl by it small inzijority.‘ The
Distribution and Preemption llill was accor-
dingly taken tip, and Mr. Wise spoke for
three hours and a quarter in opposition to
the bill, as laying foundation for a protective
tariff; as distributing revenue ‘where there is
now a deficiency, and as incxpedient in every
point of view. -
Mr Riynor took the floor and the House
aljourned at halfp-ist 1 d’clock.
Although the House have manifested
much ofa working spirit, in refusing to ad-
journ over on account of the anniversary of
this nation’s independence, there has been
scarcely a quoréiint in attendance for the
whole day.
The day had been celebrated in a very
ha py and appropriate manner by a celebra-
tion of the Sabbath schools of this city. The
scholars of the schools of the Protestant
Churches were united in procession at the
City H ill, &. marched to the capitol grounds
where seats;-. entertainments were provided.
They number. about two thousand. Ad-
dresses were delivered by Re-v._..Mr Smith of
this city, Rev. Mr. Bingham of the Sandwich
Islands, Senator Southard and others.
The Military Companies ofthis city have
paraded to-day, and the day has beeri cele-
brated as usual by cannon, fireworks &c. 5.
assed offiti an orderly manner.
The Company of the United States Fly-
ing Artillery, Capt. Ringgold, from fort Mc-
Footy, who have beeuin the city for some
lay5,h;1ve made :1 displayin front of the
President's House this evening.
As usual numerous visitors have waited
upon Abe President to-do y.

‘ The resolution of Mr Ltrin tochaiige the
hour of Xllet-'l.lfl‘2' of the Senhte from l_U to ll
o'clock was taken tip, and utter considerable
debate byvarious Senators, rejected. .
The special order of tl.e day, the Fiscal
B-ink bill, was then taken up, the amend-
merit of Mr Bayard to the amendment 0
Mr Rives pending. ’
Mr Berrien addressed the Senate to 8. con-
stitutional argument of some length._opp0S-
ing both the amendments and advocating the
original bill. -
Mr Merrick supported the amendment of
Mr Rives. He surrendered ‘no p0\V€f 0‘
Congress under the Constitution. but went
for the amendment on the groU_ml_0l ¢’_‘P"d"
encv, for the purpose of establishing in the
mo§t speedy iiianuer, the special agent, so
strongly dcmrindetl by the people. '
Mr" Bites in a highly powerful and elo-
quent spv-ech, tlccl -r- d his preference for in
original bill, and the absence of all doubt In
his mind as in the power of Congress tp es
tablish a B Ink of the United States, within
or without the District of Columbia. 3U_‘l
branches in the States, with or without the ir
consent. This had been decided by the ex-
positor which the Constittition had prnvidi-tl
for itself, the Supreme Court of the United
States, and that decision should be consider-
- cred as engrafted on that Constitution, to be
obeyed under their oath for its support.
There are some of_ the fricnds of a Bank
who had constittitional scruples. and these
were not to be disregarded. He had gone
to them because they could not come to him;
and for the purpose of establishing 0. Bank,
which he considered of the highest impor-
tance. by the unanimous vote of its friends,
he shoulltl vote for the amendment.
Mr Prentiss very briefly and lucidlv atl-
vanced similar views, in support of the
amendment. .
Mr Dixon opposed the amendment. and
maintained that they, as legislators, should
follow strictly their own judgement without
compromise.
The amendment of Mr Bayard, which
placed the estublishrucnt ofthe branches up-
on the dissent, instead of assentofthe States
was rt-jet.-.ted—Yeus 9—Nays 36.
The question recurring on the amend-
ment of Mr Rives, which, it will be recol-
lected, placed the establishment of branches
in the States on the consent of those States.
Mr. \Vhite opposed and Mr VValker ad-
vocated it. The question was then tikcn.
and the amendment was rejected Yeas I0
Nays 38.
Mr Huntington offered a slight amend-
tnent which was adopted. The amendinciits
of the friends ofthe bill were now consider-
ed as ofiet‘ed, and Mr. Btichauan took the
floor ii... on his‘ motion. the Seiiateadjourned.
He will lead offthe opposition tomorrow
in a set speech.
The House were to day occupied for
about three hours. in calling the Ye-as and
Nays, and contending. on the adoption of a
rule. reported by Mr Calhoun chairman of
the Select Comiuittve on th-it subject, which
provides that hereafter the committee of the
Vlfhole can be discharged bya. vote of the
majority, from the consiilcrsitiuu of any stib-_
ject that has been before them six days.
This was debated at great length and final-
ly adopted.
Mr Stanly then offered a resolution that
the Distribution Bill, no-.v unrler discussion
be taken out of committee at 7 o'clock this
evening, which. after some debate, was
adopted. ~
The House than resolved itself into a
Committee ofthe Whole, and the Distribu-
tion and Pre-emption Bill was again taken
up, and advocated at length by Messrs Ray-
ner and Marshall, to opposed by Mr Rhett.
The hour of 7 having arrived, the Cotnmit-
tee procecded to vote you the various amend-
ments offered, most of which were rejected.
The bill was passed in Committee by a vote
ll7to 103.
The bill was then reported to the House.
and the previous question being moved b
Mr Stanly, was demanded by the House,
wh-n the vote was‘tilten on various amend-
ments; after which the bill was passed by it

\Vzntt"nsnA'r. July 7.
In Sen-cite’, memorials were presented to
d-iy, by flfr Wright, ‘of citizt-us of Schenec-
tady agaiust a National Bank. and by Mr
Buchanan of citizens of Pennsylvania for at
Bankrupt Law.
The resolution of Mr Buchanan calling
for information relative to rciiiovalsfrom of-
fice since the 4th of March, was debated by
Mr Linn during the morning hour, in gen-
eral condemnation of the course pursued by
the present Atlniiiiistration.
The Fiscal- Bank bill was then taken up,
and Mr Buchanan spoke for two hours, in
a powerful and arguincntative speech, in
opposition to the bill in talc, and in reply to
the arguments of Mr Clay, and the report'of
the Committee accompanying the bill. Mr
Buchanan is possessed of most commanding
talent, and argues in aclcar and almost un-
answerable manner. It is doubtful, how-
ever. of his convincing the people of the U.
States that a National Bank is not required
in the exigencies of the present financial cri-
sis in the country. He concluded by moving
to strike out, as the location of the Bank,
"the District of Columbia.’ 1101 supplying
any place. but leaving it to be filled by the
Senate.
This was supported by ‘Messrs Wright.
and Benton an I opposed by Mr Walker. on
the ground of his bt':llt'fl.l'l-ll. ifthe place of lo-
cation was changed, it would be established
at New York, where it would be Ulltl€l'l.l'lP

those of England, and it would in {ad be .,
British Bank, located. in New York, He
opposed the addition of this tremendous pow-
er to thealreadyabsorbing power of N. York a
and its money obligarchies of “Full Street.
Mr VVright bad no desire for the estab-
-lishment of this blessing in New York; it
had been proved to be to Philadelphia one
of the most serious uiisfortun-.-s.
Messrs. Clay of Ala , Woodbury and
Calhoun advocated the amendment, with a
view, if it were adopted, to insert N. Orleans.
{I4
Mr Allen vehemently advocated the strik-
ing out of “fnshington, and would not, vote
to fill it all, as he would not be guilty of 811'
tailing by his vote, such a curse upon any
portion ofthe country.
The amendment was rejected, by Yeas
-'20, Nays 29.
Mr C'a_lhoun then moved an amendment
to strike out the District of Columbia. and
insert New Orleans. This was advocated
by Messrs Benton, Walker, Clay of Ala.
and Buchanan, and opposed by Mr Tappan;
after which it was rejected: yeas l6,nays 20.
The Senate adjourned at a quarter past 4
In the House, Mr Fillmore, Chairman
ofthe Committee of Ways and l\f1‘.‘fl!'|S. re-
ported a bill for the fortifications of the coun-
try, which was referred to the Committee of
the Whole on thestate of the Union.
Mr Wise Chairman of the Committee on
Naval Afftirs, reported a bill ‘making pro-
visions for the Naval ordinance, which was
referred to the Committee of the Whole.
Mr King from the same committee, re-
ported a bill making provisions for the Home
Squadron, which was referred to the some
committee. and 2000 extra copies of the bill
and report ordered to be printed.
A resolution reported by Mr Williams of
Ct. was. after some debate, it ‘opted. author-
izing the purchase ofa set of maps for the
purpose of estimating the mileage of the
menibers. ’
The resolution of Mr Warren, of which
notice was given yesterday, was adopted, lim-
iting speechesin the Committee ofthe Whole
to one hour !
The [louse resolved itself into a Commit-
tee ofthe Whole. Mr Briggs in the Chair,
and took up the bill making provision for
the support of the ltinatics of the District of
Columbia, which. after some debate was
adopted in Committee.
The Loan bill was taken up. and in a
concise and powerful manner advocated by
Mr Fillmore. Mr Gordon opposed it. The
Committee thcn rose, and the House ad-
journed.
The resolution of Mr \«Varren, adopted to
day, will have the very beneficial efiect of
culting off the long speeches, and greatly
tend to facilitate business. The vote was
I08 to 77.
'I‘iiuiisoAv. July 8.
In the Senate, today. Mr. Linn continued
his remarks during the morning ‘hour, on
the resolution relative to removals from oflice.
The fiscal bank was then taken up, and
various amendments were offered, which
gave rise to incidental debate. The oppo-
ncnts ofthe adininistration are now offering .
their amendments. those on the other side
having been gone through. as it is understood.
Mr Walker offered an aniendineiit l't‘qt1ll‘-
ing the whole affairs of the bank to be pub-
lisbed annually. and laid before Congress.
Mr King proposed to the g8l’lllt’ll|a'n to
modify the amendment so as to require the
affairs ofthe bank to be published wet.-kly.
evry fortnight, or monthly. in a daily paper
where the bank was located
Mr Clay of Kentucky, objected to the la-
mendtnent, and contended’ that a due degree
of publicity was provided by the bill,that the
concerns ofthe bank were liable to the iii-
vestigations of the Secretary of the Treasury.
ofa Committee of Congrcss, of a Commit-
tee of Stockholders, and every director, and
opposed as unnecessary the expense and
trouble of having printed yearly the whole
business affairs of the bank, which would fill
twenty or more large volumes. ‘
Messrs‘ Benton and Woodbury advocated
the amendment, cxpatiating on the necessity
of publicity in the bank affairs. The amend-
ment was then rejected : Yeas 23, Nays 25.
Mr \’Valker oflercd an atuendiiient. author-
zing any ten stockholders to investigate the
concerns of the bank at any time. This af-
ter a few remarks by Mr Buchanan advoca-
ting it, was adopted : Yeas 24 , Nays 23.
An amendment offered by Mr. Walker. (3-
bricfly discussed, and amended by Mus.-rs
Clay of Ky., Simmons, Bayard, Berrirn and
Woorlbury, was adopted, providing that in
every case of loan or discount granted, when
one of the directors dissent, the vote shall be
tuken by ayes and noes. atid entered on the-
books ofthe b.tlll(, open to inspection with

An ameiidmetit of Mr Benton, providing
that government directors shall have fret» and
full participation in all the transactions of the
bank after some discussion. in which it was
contended that it was Ul’lYlf.‘CQSStil'y, the bill it-
self containing this provision, was adopted:
1 ens..26 Nays 22.
Steveral other amendments were offered,
debated, and most of thetn rciected ; a num-
ber of which were offered by Mr Benton,
who professed the desire of getting along
with them severally as fast as possible, as be
bad many more to offer.
In the House, the bill to extend the limits
ofthe port of New Orleans. so as to include
the city of Lafayette, was read a third time
and passed.
The rcsolutiortof Mr Floyd. offercd some
days since. calling for information relative to
the Me L-rod case, was taken up.
Mr Hunt spoke at some length in an able
and eloqui-at survey of the case, and in de-
fciice of Mr Webster. Under the present
form of the resolution, and the exposition of
it given by its friends, he could not vote for
it. as ccusuring the conduct of the Secretary
of State.
The resolution was laid over. and the
Houso resolved itself into a comniittce of the
whnle on the state of the union, (Mr Briggs
in the chair.) and resumed the considcrafion
ofthe bill authorizing the loan of 812,000,-
000. _
Mr Pickens opposed the bill as creating
a National debt, and as unnecessary, attempt-
ing to show that there would not, t the eutl of
the yea r, be a deficit in the Treasury, the esti-
mates Of the Secretary, in some items of [hi
expenditures. being to high and of receipts
too low. He was interrupted, and compell-
ed to take his seat by the expiration of the
hotir.
The bill was further supported by Messrs.
Sergeant and Fessenden, and opposed by Mi-
Rhctt. ' ’

drunkenness and -fighting. though with quite
a_s much confusion, as usual on such ‘occa-
si.--ms. The Booths swarmed around the
Park. and liquor was very generally sold to
them; but through the day we saw very few
cases of gross intoxication.
-The Military display was very brilliant.
though not so numerous, as on many previous
occasions. The troops gathered upon the
Battery, where they were reviewed. first by
tho Comniader ofthe Division, Major Gen-
cral Sandford, and afterward by Governor
Seward. The column having fortiied its
line of march, passed the Mayor and Coin-
mon Cotincil in review in front of the City

The Temperance Procession and Oriition

ofthe day. At half past 12 the several so-

A very horrible affair was discovered this
morning. A person fishing in the Schuyl-
ltill at Arch street wharf caught. his book in
the dress of a feiuale. and with assistance
succeeded in drawing it to the shore. when
it was asccertained that she was sectirely ticd
by the wrist to the arm of a man by a silk
handkerchief! They are both young, the
girl apparently not over 19. and the man 25.

tcd last evening. undwtis probably produced
by at cross in love. 'l'bey are as yet on-
known, but their dress and appearance indi-
cate that they have moved in respectable so-
ciety. What renders it tnore conclusive that

them had in their pockets a pistol loaded and
capped.

lows to the depth of two feet, and was still
thick on the ground on Tuesday mornifig.

on numt-tons farms was utterly destroyed.
This was the case with the farm of Ex-(.iov-
ernor Ritner, and also with that occupied by
his son.
