In‘ Senate the Distriljillion Bill. was to day or-
dered to be engrossed for a 3d readilig—28 to 22-
__ Th_o important amendment offered by Mr
Berrien, Saturday, and modified to day. was
adopted, providing for the distribution. white
the duties on any article of imports are above
20 per cent. advalorem. This amendment
was advocated b Messrs Walker. Allen,
King arotliers, an opposed by Mr Calho_un.

acres.
In‘ the House of Representatives. the
Fiscal Corporation bill was_ passed. It was
taken up soon after the meeting this morning
under the resolution to take it out of Com-
mittee at 4 o'clock. .-
Mr Marshall strongly advocated the bill
and answered with great effect the speech _of
Mr Wise. Mr W. had opposed the bill
not from principle, but because it would be
vetoed. This Mr M.‘ did not believe would
ght to go and do
their duty, whatever might befall it else-
where. ,
The motion to strike out the _enactmg
clause was lost by a large majority. No
amendments were adopted in Committee ex-
cept those of Mr Sergeant. The bill was
then reported to the House. and the same
amendments agreed to. those under the ope-
ration of the Previous Question, and the bill
ordered to be engrossed, by Yeas 123, Nays
94-29 majority. The bill was then read
by its title, 3d time, and the question being
on its passage, some 20 persons sprung to
Berrien, Evans, Archer, Morehead and

Mr Cuthbert expressed a desire to speak,
and for this purpose, with the understanding
that the question be taken on the bill to mor-
row; the Senate adjourned. . _
In the House the bill making appropria
tion for the relief of the Post Office Depart.
ment, was debated during the day. “ml be-
sides the merits of the question, much miscel-
laneous and political matter was introduced.
Messrs Steinrod. Littlefield, Hopkins. and
Gordon opposed, and Messrs Briggs and
Arnold advocated the bill.
Mr A. referred to, & condemned the veto of
the President, accusing him of treachery to
his party,..and alliance with the Loco Focos.
There could not be found better stuff for a
Loco Foco, "than the base. miserable wretcb”
at the other end of the Avenue. He -was
then called to order by the various members.
and the chairman decided it out of_ order to
use so disrespectful terms in relation to the
Chief Magistrate. Mr A. said he had not spo-
ken of the Chief Magistrate. but of a wretch ;
if Mr Tyler's friends insisted on its applica-
tion to him, they could thus construe it. Mr
A. appealed from the decision of the chair
that he was out of order; be however with-
drew it.
Mr Ingersoll renewed the appeal insisting
that the President had no more privileges on
this floor than any other citizen. He with-
drew his appeal, and Mr A. ‘occluded. in
the same strain, his remarks. '
Mr Stanly severely criticised the speech
of Mr Arnold, expressing his confidence in
the President, in the harmony of the Cabi-
net and Whig party. '
Mr Botts referred to his letter published
in the Madisonian a few days since. He
contended that the Whig party was not re-_
sponsible for that, but he now repeated that
the conduct of the President towards the
Whig party was the basest and vilest treach-
cry. and he would show that when the Veto
to this ‘ Corporation’ bill came--and it would
come.
Mr Profiit replied to Mr Stanly. and
complained that he had been abused by the
Whig papers particularly the New York
d pre-emption bill

Mr Wise raised a point of order, and insis-
ted that the entire bill be read, that they
might have a ‘fair start’ for the floor. It
was _read entire. There was a great scram-
- ble for’ the floor—Mr Wise again failed of
getting the floor. and the Previous Question
was moved on the passage.
The question was then taken, and the
bill finally passed, by Yeas l25—Nays 94

Mr J C Clark moved a reconsideration
of the vote, which (as he intended) was car-
ried.
The title was then amended on motion of
Mr Sergeant, and is "an act to provide for
the safe keeping and disbursement ofthe pub-
lic revenue; and to create at Fiscal’ corpora-
tion for National purposes.’
The Illinois members have arrived. Mr
Stuart vesterday, and Messrs Casey Cb Rey-
nolds l0-(lily, were qualified, and took their
seats.
Tucson. Aug. 24.
In the Senate, this morning, the ‘Fiscal
Corporation’ bill was received from’ the
House. Mr Berrien moved that it be read by
its title, a first and second time. for the pur-
pose of reference. It was by general con-
sent, once read. To the second reading Mr
Allen objected, and the question was taken
and carried: Ayes l8—Nays 17. The
President then stated the question, ‘ shall it
now be read.’ No objections being made,
the Secretary commenced the reading. Mr
Allen interrupted it, and objected. It was
reading was completed.
Mr Tappan immediately rose, and moved
to postpone the bill indefinitely/, and called.
the Yeas and Nays. The whigs were thus
taken completely by surprise and astonish-
taken their seats. The question was announc-
ed by the Chair-, and there appeared a strong
probability that it would be carried.
Mr Berrien took the floor, and retained it
until several whigs coming in.‘ he took his
seat. and the question was taken and the mo-
tion lost : Yeas 2l—Nays 24.
The bill was then referred to a Select

The New York Evening Tattler, in a-

he body was hers, did not arrive at the

iy dresses ofthe same material. '
The editor thinks, fu rthermore, that the

pody found was Mary's for these reasons
‘i orig others—that none ofthe family went

ale editor ofthe Tattler may be right in his
