10 the Senate, yesterday, FIVE thousand copies
Of the document stating the amour! OF money
expended by the Government within the respec.
tive States, for the purposes of Internal I'm
provemeht, since the year 1899, was ordered TO
be printed The bill fIom the House Of Re-
representatives., providing for certain persons
engaged in the land and naval service of the
confederAted States during the Revolutionary
War, sc was read and laid on the table, Tor
the reason that there was not time Tor acting
upon it this Session. The vote OIL the passage
Of the bill for the relief Of Thomas J.. VIM
throp and others, directors OF an association
called "the New England Mississippi Land
Company" was reconsidered. After some
discussion, The question wasFtaken on the pas
sage Of the bill md decided in the negative, by
the casting vote Of the Vice President. The
bill for the relief of sundry revolutionary and
other officers and soldiers Of the Revolution,
sc. was considered; after some discussion and
the adoption Of some amendments, the Senate
adjourned without disposing Of The bill. In
the early part Of the sitting, Mr.. Seymour NOV
ed that the Senate proceed TO The considera-
tion OF Executive business, which motion was
negatived by vote of q 10 %.
In the House Of Representatives yesterday,
alive TO the reprin'ing of the scarce Documents
was resumed, when MIR. Bariinger concluded
his remarks, and was succeeded by Mr.. Ham
lion, who, in few words, stated that he had
a substitute TO offer, the effect of which was to
require from the Cleik list, to be presented
at the beginning of the next Session, Of the
Documents required to be printed, but as he
could not offer this pending the amendmen, Of
Mr.. Ward, who was not in his seat, he moved,
for the present, 10 lay the resolution and a.
mendment on the table, and asked for the ayes
and noes, which were ordered. The House then
refused to lay the resolution on the table-Ayes
Us, Noes 81. Mr.. Hoffman then occupied the
short residue Of the hour in some remarks a
gainst the report. Mr.. Sprague moved to sus-
pend The rule, in order 10 bring The discussion
to close but the House refused. The House
then ordered various bills on the liable TO a
third reading. MIR. Sprague then moved the
House to consider the bill TO repeal the tonnage
carried in the affirmative, and the previous
question havinglbeen demanded The bill was pas.
sed bya vote Of lol TO IS. The House then resol.
we'd ilselfinlo Committee Of the Whole on the
state Of the Union, and took up the bill TO pro.
vide government, &c. for the Penlen,iary in
the District Of Columbia, which was passed
through, as also were two bills on the subject
of Indian tresties &c. The bills were then re-
ported 10 the house and ordered TO be engros-
sed and read third time TO-DAY, with the ex-
ception of The Bill making appropriations for

. ASrI-TARIrY REsoLuTIoNs.--i lac senate
yesterday, finally disposed Of this SUBJECT, by
adopting the Preamble .ahd Resolutions as 'sey
came from the House-by what vo'e may oe
seen under the Legislative head.
Mr.. CabelL on the scope and tendene! OF
these Resolutions, was exceedingly iofcio'e
and feieitous, while he seemed 10 think ina! as
simple propositions, they contained nothing
which the Sts,e had mol before suose rloed. ne
derived powerful argument against their
adoption, from the time aud the circumstances,
under which they have been forced upon the
consideration Of Virginia. Emanatlng iom
South Carolina, whose sediilous proceedings
during the past summer attracted 10 her Inc
observation Of the whole world, ard who IN
passing similar Resolutions, dec'a'ed that II
disregarded, her Interior measures would look
to "expediency'' and not to allegiance 10 the
Union-Mr. Cabell expressed the just apPre-
hension, that Virginia's now passing these res
olutions, would be construed as PIedging her
TO South Carolina, in her threatened Interior
course Of "expediency." On the readiness oil
Virginia to embark in this headlong course,
and to detach herself from the Union, Mr.. Z.
expressed his utter disbe lief-an inhdelity In
which we most heartily unite with him; Tor
from a general Acquaintance with those mem
bers Of Assembly who have passed these reso'
lu,ions, we assert two things, without the fear
of contradiction: First that the mass OF the
General Assembly has very reluctantly, con-
sen,ed TO act at all, upon this subject; and and,
That no, one Gas far as we know or believe) VI
those who, in either branch Of the Legislature
have voted for these resolutions, have n most
remote idea Of pledging Virginia TO follow in
the wake OF South Carolina, OF TO place her in
any attitude whiehis to involve disunion.-
we make these assertions with great deal OF
confidence, alive desire the junto at Colum.
bia 10 mark lhem-Virginia is voting in these
matters abslrac'ly, and has no idea whatever,
of dissolving the Union, or hitching herself TO
the car of Dr.. Cooper. So far from it, the peo-
pie Of this Stale are unquestionably, a, this very
moment, more reeoneiled to the tariff policy
than they have ever been Let these assertions
be particularly noticed and remembered.

The Southern Advocate, of Huntsville, Ala
bama, contains detailed account OF a dreadful
FIRE which occurred in that town on the Sd inst.
That part Of the public square known by the
name Of Bank Row was reduced to heap Of
ruins, with the exception of a single house.
The flames began 10 rage al O'Clock 10 the
morning. We extract the following paragraph
from the editorial riis;e:
"Bv 9 o'clock The FIRE was entirely subdued,
and scene presented itself 10 our view which
we sincerely hope we may never witness again
in our infant town. SIX two story brick tene-
men,s were now heap of black and smoky ru-
ms, the walls Of which crumb!ed with touch.
and ever and anon came laundering 10 the
ground. Four more present the sad appear.
ance OF lempest.tost wirck-,wo Of which
were unroofed and battered in every form OF
spoil. The contents Olive stores, three tailors'
shops, skc. were scattered upon the square and
presented an appearance indescribable."
at is impossible to form correct idea OF the
entire loss, as many of the buildings cost much
more to erect them than they are now actually
worth; but we are inclined to think that thirty
FIVE thousand dollars would not replace the pro-
perty in the same situation in which il stood on
Monday evening. Nor are we informed whe-
Their any part Of the buildings or goods was in
sured; we are however inclined TO believe that
there is no insurance at all upon any part what
ever"
