WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-The De-
bate in the Senate, it will be perceived,
is yet going on, and does not diminish in
interest, as it shewn by the still crowded
lobby and galleries of that body, if other
evidence we're wanting. Mr.. Noble,
of Indiana, has the floor for the next
days debate. Mr.. Smith, of South
Carolina, who rose nearly at the same
moment with Mr.. N. will probably
follow him; and other Senators auppos-
ed to be prepared TO take their share in
the debate.
In the House of Representatives, yes
terday, two bills of importance, were
presented by the Committee on Roads
and Canals; the one proposing aid to the
South Carolina Railroad, the otller
to the Baltimore Railroad. After the
regular ins,alment of Debate made in-
teresting, yesterday, by the manner in
which the subject was handled one the
measure Of the Retrenchment Committee
for reducing the sxpences Of the House
Of Representatives,, by the sabolishment
of one of the,empIoyments created by
order of tba. body, the House proceeded
to the consideration Of private bills, ac-
cording to The Rule which setsapart Fri
day and Saturday for the discussion OF
bills Of that description. The Judiciary
Bill lies over, therefore, to Monday,
when, if the House arrives at that order
of the day, MIR. Spencer, Of New York.
may be expected TO present his views Of
the amendment which he has proposed
to the bill. OF either House of Congress
there is no Member, to whose views, on
a subject of that description, more re-
spect is due, than to those Of this dis.
tinguished gentleman.
The House of Representatives sits to.
day; the Senate adjourned over TO Mon
day.-Nat. Int.

they had gotten fairly out of sight, |
started back saying, great luck, good

said what has happened stranger; told
him that had very cody dispatched
three back biters to the other country;
