In Senate, to day the Navy bill from the
House was twice read and referred. A bill
reported by Mr Huntington from the Com-
mittee on Commerce authorizingthe clerk
of the district of Fairfield, Ct. to l'€Sidt'
either at Fairfield or Bridgeport, was passed.
Mr Berrien from the judiciary Commit-
tee, (who reported the bill.) explained the
amendments and expressed his determination
to vote for the bill, containing as it did a low
ratio adopted by the House and Senatefs
committee, although he preferred a higher
ratio.
Mr W’alker moved the adoption of the
amendment to represent major fractions. and
briefly advocated the motion.
Mr Buchanan opposed the amendment as
notonly a violation of the Constitution, but
of the settled principles ofthe Government
from its foundation. .
Mr Woodbury also opposed the amend-
ment relative to fractions, as unconstitutional
MrWrigbt should vote against it, although
it would give New York one additional
representative. The Senate adjourned.
In the House the bill appropriating forthe.
support ofthe Army and military Academy

the enacting clause by adding a proviso that

be applied to the payment of appropriation
shall be applied to the paymentol any soldier
hereafter enlisted. or any officer hereafter
appointed, until the number of the army is
reduced to 5,000 men. At the sugestion of
Mr Adams, Mr J modified his amendment
so as to provide forthe reduction ofthe Army
to the standard of 1821, about 6,000.
The question was debated till adjournment.
From the N. H. Palladium.
In Senate on VVcdnesday, the apportion-
ment bill was taken up and several speeches
were made upon it, and a vote taken upon
two propositions: first. to incorporate the
fractional representation as recommended by
the Judiciary committee: and secondly to
strike out the clause fixing upon fifty thous-
and as aratio of representation. The bill
therefore. is left in all its nakedness, so far
as regards the great subject of representation
and every thing ‘must be begun de novo.
The Express correspondent says, the
skirmishing in the House. yesterday and the
day previous, indicates that the army is to
fare no better than the navy, if indeed it fares
as well. _
The House after a long session. left the
Subject Where theyfifound it in the morning
and of course as far from a decision as ever.
On Thursday in the Senate an interesting
debate occurred on the apportionment bill.--
.Mcssrs Crittendcn, Calhoun. Benton, Bu-
chanan, Sevier, and Allen were the princi-
pal on--alters. The weight of the argument
was decidedly in favor of augmenting the
ratio of representations.
Mr Preston thought the House should
consist of about three times the number of
the Scnate. and had therefore proposed a
ratio of 92,000 to giving a house of I65 mem-
bers, independent offraictions. A
