Mr. Lewis explained the provisions ofthe bill,anrl made along speech ofthe superiori- ty advalorem over specific duties, 6: said the bill would yield $28,000,000 on an impor- tation of $119,000,000 of dutiable goods. Mr.Evans obtained the floor, and moved that the bill be postponed until 1:! o’clock.. Agreed to. The Warehousing bill was again taken up and Mr. Johnson’s amendmeht rejected.

July 14. in the SENATE, Mr. VVcbstcr presented a petition, signed by every importer of dry goods in Boston, against the proposed modification of the Tariff, and took occa- sion to express his intention, at a proper time to go into a thorough examination of all the details of a bill so novel and so dan- gerousjn principle, and so rash, so intern- perate in many of its provisions, the pas- sage of which by the House had taken the country by surprise,and filled itwith alarm. Mr. Calhoun presented a petition from the manufacturers ofglass at Philadelphia against the increase of duties on soda ash: The \«Varehousing bill was then taken up, and.Mr. J. Clayton commenced a speech in opposition to it. After proceed- ing for a short time, the bill was postpon- ed, on'Mr. Huntington’s motion, until to- morrow. The Tariff billwas then taken up at 1.2 o’clock. Mn. Evans consumed the re- mainder-.of the day in a strong-. speech, against it. Before heconcladed, he gave way lol‘ fijmotion which ‘was made to post- jponefurther‘ consideration of the "subject until to morrow,,at l o’cloc.l.-._. Motion agreed to.. ~ ' l A Mr. \Vebstcr——Thc motion is extraor- dinary——the subject is important, and the petitioners ought to be heard. Mr. Sc.vier—l’etitions of this kind will pouring in from one end of the country to the other. They are intended to influ- ence action or produce panic. I would not print them. The tariff would raise clamor and uproar in any workshop in the the country, and the Senate would be in- undated. l\'lr. \Vebster———The Senator from Ark. speaks truly of the effect of the bill.— iClamor and uproar would l.e raised in every workshop in the country; but if these men are to die, let them die game, protesting against the instrument of their death. After further debate, the motion to re- fer was agreed to. Mr. Johnson, of Md. presented asimilar memorial. Mr. S. Cameron presented a reman- strancc from coallaborcrs in Pennsylvania against the repeal of the tariff, and moved its reference to the Finance Committee- llaid on the table. Some further remarks were made by *Senator \Vebster, who stated that he felt ‘constrained to vote for this bill. He had long been in favor of a judicious Ware- house system, but this bill was not so per- fect as he could wish. It contained clauses that many of his friends objected to. lbe \ the vote stood as follows—ycas 31, nays 20. So the bill passed. The billto reduce the tariff was next taken up. Mr. lzvans resumed, and concluded his argument against it. Mr. Davis got the floor, and moved a postponcmcnt of the subject until to mor- row. Messrs. Lewis and Sevier both hoped that as the Senate was full, the vote on the passage of the bill would now be taken, without any more discussion. Mr. Davis’ motion was carried by yeas and nays, 527 to 21-. Benton, Cameron, Niles and Sturgeon, locos, voted in the of- firmalivc. 'l he Senate then proceeded to consider the private calauder, and then adjourned. In the House, a resolution by Mr. lllc Kay to close the debate on the treasury note bill this day at 12 o’clock, was agreed to, after an unsuccessful ellort. to extend the time until to morrow. The House then went into committee of the whole on said bill. Mr. Tibbatts took the floor and spoke at length on the bill, and in vindication of his course on the bill to reduce the tariff. Mr. J. R. lngersoll moved an amend- ment providing $50,000 to indemnify in- nocent holders of spurious treasury notes, stolen at the New Orleans Custom House after they had been cancelled, and altered and put in circulation—lhe amendment was agreed to. The Committee then rose and reported the bill, which was passed by years 118, nays 47. On motioo the House went into Com- mittee, Mr. Morris in the chair, and tool.- np the bill providing for pay of volunteers of one year, and for other purposes. The bill appropriates near twelve mill- ions of dollars for this service. Mr. G. Davis asked the chairman of the committee of ways and means if this sum was in addition to the ten millionsalrcady voted for the war. Mr. McKay replied that it. was. Mr. Davis offered an. amendment to pay volunteers called outtand not received. The subject was discussed by Messrs. Thurman, Ratbbun, Vinton,. Houston of Ala. and l\’lc.Dow.ell‘of. O.hio..

Mr. Lewis reported the treasury note bill from the House,’ and hoped it would pass now, as there was urgent necessity for it. Mr. Evans hoped not. He wished to examine it. He was willing the bill should be considered to day. The bill was then reported to the Senate and postponed. Mr. Hannegan called up his resolution for Congress t.o adjourn on the 20th July. The 10th August was then substituted,and the resolution was then passed—aycs 30 nays 16. The tariff bill was then taken up. Mr. Davis spoke against it and in favor of protection. He went back 100 years, and showed the jealousy of Great Britain in respect to the manufacture of articles of any kind in the Colonies. Before con- cluding, hc gave way to a motion for the Senate to go into Executive session, which was carried. Adjourned. The House went into Committee, and resumed the considcrarion of the bill ap- *proprtating l ],700,000 to pay volunteers, :and for other purpose. Mr. Footc addressed the committee, and miadc a party speech against the Adminis- ltration, in relation to the annexation of exas and the Mexican war. Mr. Caleb B. Smith followed, in a vehe- yment, bitter, excoriating speech against ithe Administration, in relation to claiming itbc Rio Grande as the boundary of Texas, and going to war with Mexico. Mr. Hilliard next spoke, and made a calm 85 able speech .l'Ic would support the war, but preferred peace. He believed that if Clay had been'President. we would have had Texas without a \var. Mr. Cobb followed, and warmly sustain- ed the Administration in all it had done in relation to the war. At two o’clock the debate closed by limitation. All Amendments were rejec- ted, and the bill as reported to the House, passed on its final reading—lbO to 4«. The House then took up the resolution from the Senate, for Congress to adjourn on the 10th prox. _ Mr. Boyd called the previous question. Mr. Dromgoole moved to lay the reso- lution on the table. Lost. The call for the previous question was sustained, and the resolution was concurred in, with but two or three dissenting voices. The House then went into Committee of the \Vhole, Mr. VVentworth in the chair, and took up the bill to pay the mileage and per diem allowance of members of Con- .gress, and for other purposes. [Great merrimcnt at the appearance of the chairman, who is celeb:atcd for his ex- traordinary height] Various amendments were offered and rejected, one by Mr. Stewart proposed re- ducing the pay of the members. Mr. Douglass got the floor and tried to speak, but nobody would listen to him- the House in its roars of mcrriment at the party decisions of the Chairman would let ‘no one be heard. Finally the Committee got up and the House adjourned amid loud bursts of laughter on all sides. Famar, July 17. Mr. Allen offered a resolution, making the sub treasury bill the order from day to day immediately after the tariff bill shall have been disposed of. Laid over under the rule. l\Ir. Benton, from the military comit- tee, reported a bill for the erection and completion of defences, on the coast. of Florida. 'l he treasury note bill was then taken up. Mr. Evans said he should vote for this bill, but if the tariff bill should pass, these notes would never be paid, until the pres. ent tariff should be rcstored. He pointed out many errors in the estimates of the secretary ofthe treasury, Hfl(l.SllO\\’C(l from his own statements that the tariff bill would produce five millions less than he said it would. M r. Benton was opposed to Government issuing paper money thus early in the war. He was for taxation first, as far as the country could bear it, loans next, and as :1 last resort treasury notes. He w'anterl a tax on tea and coffee. One insuperable objection in this bill is the authority to re- ceive the notes as they came in, and he moved to strike it out. . The bill then, on Mr. Lewis’s motion, was postponed until to morrow. The tariff bill was then taken up. Mr. Davis resumed and concluded' his speech in behalf of the protective system. Mr. l\-‘lcDuffie then called for the ques- tion. Mr. Johnson of Md. wanted to speak for not more than two hours, but would not be prepared until to morrow.

Condition of tile flrmy of Occupatiim.-— The Regulars and Volunteers comprising the Army of Occupation, are enjoying luxuries which the unfortunate citizens who are left behind would assuredly envy them for, were they in a situation to _ap- preciate them. During the last ten days the windows of heaven have been opened upon the American and Mexican sides of the Rio .Grande.

Very little complaint has been heard among the men. lThey came here with the hope of being ‘actively employed. They have made sac- rifices enough (the volunteers) to have jpaid thrice fold the expenses that could [have been incurred by Government, had ‘the most liberal provisions been promptly made and executed, for the health and ef- Ificiency of the Army. The uniforms and effects of the regulars jhave been destroyed, and it will not, we jthink, be an exaggeration to say, army fisupplies enough have been ruined, for want of proper shelter, to have paid five times the cost of all the ncces.sm’.'es with 'held from our troops. The requisition for tents, &.c. was made by Gen. Taylor long ago. There is no excuse for its having been neglected. Again, there are no meas at hand for the transportation of supplies. Wagons cannot well pass between this place and Point lsabel, and there is not, at this moment, a single boat in the Govern- ment scrvice ‘now running on the Rio Grandc. Fanatic£snz.———'l‘l1e preachers in General Taylor’s Camp at Matamoras are inculca- ting upon the minds of the soldiers the doctrine that the American people are the children of Destiny—tbat God has given to them the whole continent as a heritage —and Mr. Allen,chapl-ain of the Louisiana volunteers, writes to the pious editors of the N. O. Picayune, that “Shall circum- stances render it necessary for the United States to dictate terms of peace to Mexico in the halls of the Montezumas, there will be warm and (launtlcss hearts to invoke the blessings of Heaven on their acts.” ln what respect do these men differ from the conquerors of Mexico, who car- ried the cross in one hand and the sword in the other’! How much are we in ad- vance of Cortez and his band of robbers, who, while slaughtering thousands upon thousands of the ancient Mexicans, had holy men along with them, “to invoke the blessings of Heaven upon their acts'l.”-—— They too believed themselves to be “chil- dren of Destiny,”and felt exalted by the delusion that they were propagators of the Faith. Fanaticism wears the same bloody features, revels in the same dark delusion to day, that it did in the time of Cortez, or the age of the crusadcrs.——Cin.cz'n. Herald.

The Journal of Commerce of the 15th has the following notice of the extra speed of one of the New Haven boats: Unprccecle72tcd.—Tlic steamer Traveller, Capt. Joel Stone, arrived here yesterday afternoon at -10 minutes past 4« o’clock, having made the passage from New Ha- ven wharf to a point opposite her landing in this city, in four hours and elwen min- utes. This is the shortest passage ever made between the two places. The dis- tance is called eighty miles; but it is probably three or four miles less. Even so, the speed exceeded cig/zteen miles per /zour. \Vith a favorable wind and tide, the Traveller is able to make the passage in four hours; and we doubt if there is another boat on the Sound that can do it, By using her full power she can mai e 245; to 25 revolutions per minute; whereas on the present occasion she averagw d less than ‘-"73 and at no time exceeded 233. ~~-i L5?‘ The Norwich Aurora (loco) publishes the late speech of Mr. Brinkerhofl", on the tariff, and endorses most ofit. The editorlittle dream- ed, probably, of the somerset which the Ohio twaddler made so soon afterhis rebellious speech. The Aurora says :-— VVith much that Mr. B. saystbe democ- racy ofthe North will sympathize. There has been a great difl'ercuc:e between the manner in which our Texas and Oregon affairs have been managed. Our rights in the one case have been asserted and main- tained with ths most commendable prompt- ncss and energy, while in the other the have bet-n asserted but to be abandoned. We are not sorry that this subject and the manner of the distribution of ofliee has been brought up as it has by the bold and talented representative from Ohio. V-Ve have. then, the authority of a Connecti- cut loco foco editor, in support of the charge against the President of abandoning the rights of the country in Oregon. There is every appearance that the pro- ductions of the-esrth the present year, to eat, drink and wear, will very far exceed the necessaries of man and beast—and prices of everything will touch a point'be- low what was ever before known.
