The Ice in the river SchuylkilI had bro.
ken up and had descended below the Flat
Rock Dam on Wednesday. where its pro-
gress was arrested, and the river between
that place and The Falls became complete.
~ choaked with immense bodies of Ice
In this situation it remained, the river ris.
ing aad OVERLOOKING its banks. until about
half past four o'clock yesterday afternoon,
when it moved doWn with irresistible
force, and carried along with it, from Of
the piers aud abutments, the whole OF the
Falls Bridge, which descended the river
entire until It passed Fair Mount Dam, but
whenit reached the piers of the middle
bridge, it was broken to pieces.
The Bridge at the Falls, owing to back
water made by an Ice Dam at or near
Peters's Island, was raised from the piers
and entirely carried of. 1t passed over
The City Dam at Fair Mount about five
O'Clock nearly whole. The Ice began to
move between four or FIVE o'clock in the
dam, and has passed off without doing it
any apparent damage, The different i'm.
provements OF the Scbuylkill Navigation
Company, as far as they have been heard
from. are all safe. The Bridge in floating
down struck abroadside against one Of The
piers OF the Permanent Bridge, at Market
street, but did no damage to The latte r.
We sincerely regret the loss OF the Falls
Bridge, as the worthy proprielors of it
sustained similar loss few years be-
fore.

othe present year, showing the balance, 1t any, due
BY any and every officer whose duty it may be to
collect or disburse the public moneys.
Resolved, That ii hereby made the duty OF the
Secretaries of the State, Treasury. War, and Navy
Departments, to lay before this House, within ten
days after the commencement OF their annual ses-
sion, list of the balances which may appear to be
due upon the last semannual statement which may
be rendered to them respectively.
Resolved That it is hereby made the duty of the
Postmaster General to lay before this House, within
ten days after the commencement of their annual
session, semi-annual statement, showing the ba-
lance il any, due by each and every deputy postmas-
ter.
The resolution lie on the table one day of course.
Mr. Blair, oil 5 &. submitted for consideration
the following resolution
Resoe By the Senate and ae of Representatives. Of the
United States " America in Congress assembled t1ooards
of50M hOuseS cOneurtng That the following amendments
TO the constitution of the United States be proposed
to the Legislatures OF the several States, which when
ratified by the Legislatures of three-fourths OF the
States, shall be valid to all intents and purposes as
part OF the constitution
"That no increase or diminution of the ccmpen.
sation Representatives, for their services such,
shall be made by Congress, TO have effect or opera
ton during the period for which the members of
the House of Representatives acting upon the sub.
ect, shall have been elected.
"Ihat no person shall be appointed by the Presl-
dent OF the United States to any office, either OF prot
it, honor, trust who shall have been member of
either house of Congress within the last two years
preceding the election of the President for the time
Icing"
In Offering this proposition
Mr.. Blair said, the obj ct of this resolution was
to amend the constitution in such manner as would
perhaps prevent frequent recurrence to such de-
bates as had agitated the House for several days
past and to prevent, also, any improper motive,
either OF asariee or OF popularity, from attaching to
the conduct oil any Congress that might hereafter
find 1t necessary to increase or diminish the COM
pensation allowed to members of either House
Another object OF the resolutions he sad to place
the mcm5ers oil both Houses as far beyond even a
suspicion of any inproper influence as possible. 1t
not be in order now, he said, to develope the
advantages that might result from such amendment
OF the constitution this resolution proposed He
therefore only requested that the Clerk would read
the resolution, and that it might lie on the table till
the next session, when he designed to call it up.
