WASHINGTON, April 17.-After . dis
tussion of ten weeks, the bill tor a Rev.
sion OF The Tariff Of Duties on Imports,
sss passed the House OF Representatives
by a majority Of five votes, and is now, or
rather will be on Monday before The Sc
nate.
Ihe first circumstance which strikes eve
~ one is, the tulness OF the House on this
OCCASION, indicating the profound interest
which the subject has excited. More than
one Member. who was iDdisposed, rose
from his bed to vote on the OCCASION; and,
hut for the situation of these two or three
gentle men, IL is probable the friends OF The
bill would not, yesterday, have forced a
decision upon il, as they did Out OF the
two hundred aud thirteen Members, two
on'y were yesterday absent, one OF them
absen, from the city. aud the other too
much i~ndisposed to reach The House. SO
full an attendance has never been known
during the time that we biye been &C.
auain,ed with The House OF Representa-.
lives.
The second circumstance worthy OF re-
mark is, that, with one or two excep-
,ioas, the discussion Of this bill has been
conducted With great toIbeatauce and mu-
tual Difference on the part OF NE Members.
We could not hu, remark, N the closing
speech Yesterday, that. ihongh the argu-
ment against the bill was pressed with
y,sal force, there was not a wo,d uttered
disrespectful to the persons, or dGOgatory
from The motives OF It's supporters
The bill, is now in the hands ofNhe Sc
nate, as the clay in the hands o. tie pot
fer. Na' o..
