Mr.. Noble gave notice that he should
on Monday next, call up the bill to con-
tinue the Cumberland Road.
The bill from the House, authorising
the Legislative council of Florida to
meet in October, instead of November
and for other purposes, was read, aud
ordered to second reading.
The Senate then took up the bill ma
king appropriations for internal i'm
provements, and after some time spent

| The question was then taken on the
first part of the proposition of Mr.. suth-
erland, to strike out the amendment oi
Mr.. Mallary, and insert the duty on wool
Yeas 100, Nays SO.
So the motion was agreed to.
Some confusion took place in the
House in consequence of this decision
on its being discovered that the whole
of the amendment of Mr.. Mlllary had
been stricken out by this decision. @ This
did not appear to have been the inten
ton of some gentlemen who voted for
the proposition, and who had thought
that they were voting only to strike out
a certain portion of the amendment SO
as to insert in lieu of it, the proposition
in regard to wool.
/ Mr.. Armstrong moved to reconsider
the vote which had been taken.
Mr. BarriDger seconded the motion,
stating that be had given vote different
from that which he would have given
had he understood the proposition cor.
rectly.
On this question the ayes and noes
were ordered
After few words from Mr.. Barney,
who stated that he also had misunder'
stood the proposition, the question was
taken.-Yeas i04, Noes 81.
So the question to reconsider was a.
greed to.
Mi. Haynes then moved that the
House do now adjourn-ayes So, noes
107.
Some further convers ation took place
as to the effect of the proposition of Mr..
Sutherland, during which an unsuccess-
full motion to adjourn was made by Mr..
Halle, when
Mr.. j. s. Stevenson withdrew his call
for division Of the question.
On the call of Mr.. Taylor, the ayes
and noes were ordered on the PROPOSE
ton to amend.
Mr.. Chiffon stated that he should
vote for the amendment.
Mr.. Sutherland then explained his
motion to amend.
Mr.. Bates of Massachusetts said tina.
the question was not between the a
mendment and the bill, but between this
amendmentand another. The question
is will you give four cents pound on
wool, and substitute the minimum for
the ad valorem principle.
The question was then taken on the
proposition to amend, made by Mr.. Su-
therland-Yeas 100, nays SO.
So the amendment was agreed to.
