In the House, Mr Fillmore suggested that
the bills from the Senate, to which no
objections were made, should be taken tip

case of most urgent nvccssity, it was useless
for them to originate any more bills at this
last stage of the Session. There were now
73 bills from the Senate to be acted on.

SATURDAY A ugust 27.
The Senate have been occupied during the.
day, in consideration of amendments and dis-
cussion on the R4-vi-nue bill, its final fate
having been and still bt-ing,invol\'ed in uncer-
tainty. It is supposed that it will be passed
or rejected by one vote. Mr VVright’s vote
which will turn the scale. An account of
the steps of its progress is given below.
The morning hour having expired, the
Senate proceeded to the consideration of the
Revenue bill.
Mr Buchanan uagerl the itnportance ofthe
bill. and expressed his intention to vote for it
as an alternative.
Mr l\’le.rrick would vote against the bill,
because the Public Lands were to be taken
from the States, because it would not raise
sufficient revenue, and--because it was an ex-
travagant bill of Protection, tlt-signed to ope-
rate, and would operate, injuriously antl tin-
justly on the Agricultural interests of the
country.
Mr Sznith of Ct condemned the bill as too
highly protective in its character.‘
Mr Simmons supported it, and replied to
the gt-ntlt-man who had proceeded him.
Mr Huntington answered his colleague,
(Mr Smith) and said that the sentiments ex-
pressed by him were in direct conflict with
the views of the people of Connecticut; and
he was anxious that the bill should immedi-
atelv be-come a law. -
Mr Clioat grieved that in passing a good
hill ftir Revenue he was defeatinga good
law for distribution, for he had wished to
livt- under the shade and partake of the fruit
ofbotb trees He felt that in planting one
he was plucking up the other by the roots;
and in conclusion he iirged the passage of
the bill as the best which they could obtain
at the eleventh hour, or at the going down
of the sun.
Mr VVright declared his intention to role
for the bill. and was still speaking when this
letter was closetl—the question being on
ordering the bill to a third reatling.
In the House a resolution ol .\'Ir J C f..'-lurk
to terminate dt'l).’ll.t’. in Coriimiltcc of the
VVhole on the union on the bill to reorga
nizc the Navy Department, after its further
consideration one hour, was adopted.
The bill authorizing the Secretary of the
Treasury to PDlt’l' into compromise with the
sureties of Samuel Swrirtivout, was taken tip
and after some discussion. on motion of Mr
A V Brown, was laid onthetable: yeas 119,
nays 27.
Mr Cashing from the Committce—on For-
eign Affairs made :1 report on petitions Sac.
referred to that Committee. oil the sfubjr-ct oi
the Mexican Claims, which was laid on the
table and ortlr~re.tl printt-tl.
On motion of Mr Fillmore, a resolution
was adopted suspending the rules to take tip
the Senate bills, first on the Spealtcr’s table,
second in Committee of the \Vhole House,
to which no objection was made,provitlcd that
these bills do not thus take precedence of
amendments to any bills returned from the
Senate (thus providing forthe Revenue bill.)

Jlfelamriras con_./ir1ricrl.——'l‘lie schooner Hen-
rietta, C‘-apt. I-lurd, arrived ycsterrlziy morn-
ing, in 8 days frorii Galveston. VVe T('Ct‘lV-
ed no papers by her, but a gentleman who
came passenger informs tis that news had
been received at Galveston of the movement
of 4.000 Mexicans, under Gen. Rt-is towards
the borders of Texas. Commissions had
been issued to raise citizen soldiers for the
purpose of protecting the borders against
the inroads ofthe Mexicans.
All the volunteers from the United Statas
had been disbanded! Col. Clements of the

on the borders. who stated that the lV'lexicans
were prepared for another invasion, and that
the orders from Santa Anna were to take
no'7n'ison.ers.
This information, though not official,
comes through sources which may be de-
pended upon; but we still incline to the be-
lief that Santa Ana’s invasion of Texas is
all “gas.” No man knows better than the

Animal Illa-gn.ctis7n.—— We saw some ex-
periments performed at one of our hotels in
this mysterious science, which were truly
wonderful. A. young lady who has been
blind from childhood, was thrown into the
magnetic state, and described the figures on
the curtains, the color of the dresses, the
furniture, &c. in the room. She sat at the
piano to the niagnt-tizer had a written request
sent to him that he would will her to play
the tune mentioiietl on the paper, which she
did without a word being spoken. Several
times were played in this way without'rna-
king :1 single mistake. The magnctizer
then said, that by imaginingtbe lady’-s hand-
kerchief to be any animal which any of the
party might write out on a piece of paper,
he coiiltl imke her tell the name as written.
A cat and a rabbit were successively ini-
agined, and she itnuiediately toltl their names
and was pleased with thtgm. The word rat
was then proposed, and as soon as she took
the handkerchief in her hantl, she threw it
away and screamed. To make a sure test,
the word clepiiant was written, and as soon
as she got the handkerchief on her knee she
began to groan and said, "oh dear, what
shall I do with that?" and after it was taken
away, she felt fatigued.
Several other interesting experiments were
made in phreno magnetism, &c., with won-
derful accuracy. Sevcril gentlemen have
tieen trying to persuade the gentleman to
give a piililic exhibition, to which we pre-
sume he will-consent.--N. I1. I:Ic‘7'tbf(l.

Trouble in Cmm(la—Ri0l at St. Ca.tlui.-
ri7i.cs.——-We learn from a gentleman, who
left St. Ci1!.llfll‘ll'l€‘S yestt-rday, that the riots
among the laborers there, are by no means
quelled although it was confidently expected
that the arrival of the troops from Toronto
and Kingston, which were hourly t-xpt-cit-d.
would soon rcstore order; our iiiloriiiant.
however, dotiblt-tl whu their this would be cl-

W'elland canal, had been lit.-ltl in complete-
obeyance by the mob, which was variously

refusing to go into joint billot, or Ptocet-ding

Their design was to coerce the Vllhigs into
an election ofa democratic Senator. Everv
cflbrt to effect an election having failed, by
the bad conduct, solely, of the democrats,_ as
they call tlicinsr-lves, a proposition was at
length made, that the members ofthe Senate
were alone, the iniquity had been practiced-
should all resign, and take an appeal to the
people. The ‘Whigs, though in a clear ma-
iority onjoint b:illot,tna:_rnanimonsl_y assented

thattheir opponents should pledge themselves

defeat the choice by chicanery and fraud.-
