It will approach nearest to the earth after the middle of June, but will then cease to appear above our horizon, in consequence of it's lying too much to the south; from this circumstance twill be no longer visible to us. As, at this stage of it's course, the comet will attain to more than fifty degrees southern latitude, it will be far removed from the plane of she earth's orbits and even in its near4 est proximity 10 osr glohc,it Eisil fbe be as distance much exceeding 2O,00O,O0O of miles.

REMARKS OF MIR. SEVER.

When the Internal Improvement Bill vas under consideration in the House of Representatives, on the 3d May.
 Mir. SEWER, the Delegate from Ar kansas, proposed to amend the Appro- priation Bill for Internal Improvements, by inserting two thousand dollars, in addition 10 the unexpended balance, to complete the Jackson and Washing, ton road at the two extremes thereof, in the Territory ofArkansas, and twen- ty thousand dollars to repair the Mem phis and Little Rock Road, from the s.. Faneis giver to Little Rock. To this amendment, MT. WIcKLIFFE, of Ken lucky, objected; in reply to which MT. SEWER said.
 .Mr. Chairman: I offered the amend ment which has just been read, without intending at this time, to say one word inits support. Our rules require, that propositions of this character should be considered here, My only object at this time was to go through Mis form, and to reserve what I had to say upon this subject, until the bill came into the House. l am sorry that the course- the singular and illiberal course-of the honorable gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. WIcKLIFFE,) has made 1t necessa- ry for me to abandon my original de- sign. must be epermitted here to say, that it has so Happened that the honora- bic gentleman always seems to get into speechifying humor whenever any thing connected with the interest of Ar kansas is under consideration. On these particular occasions, and on these par ticular measures, he seems to exhibit a greatrelish, a feverish anxiety for speak ing. fine would sometimes happen to advocate an Arkansas measure, he would receive my sincere thanks-I should not then think, as now do, his course so singular and illiberal. But he is always found opposing them.- He now implores the committee to re- ject my amendment, for reasons which appear, to my mind, futile and unsatis- factory. Having succeeded in carry ing through his bantling, his favorite measure, he now cries "tonteat," and directs his powerful battery against all others who arc struggling hard far the same port.
 The Little Rock and Memphis road isno new measure, and 1t is fortunate circumstance for me that it is not None but the venerable in age seems to be worthy of the notice of this Com mittee. This measure is as old as any item in this bill; it received the pat ronage of the Government eight or ten years ago: it was then surveyed and partially worked upon, but was never completed. The citizens of Arkansas, every session for four or five years, have been begging and begging you to inlsh this work, until they have nearly lost ali hope. l have been pressing their petitions until l myself have al most despaired. Your Committee, how ever, have done their duty; they have reported bill to complete this work every year. But here was an end the measure. The prayers of my con slstuents, audthe labors ofyour commit

 The bill for the Apportionmcnt of Re presentatives among the several States according to the Fifth Census, having passed both branches of Congress, re- }qulfes only the assent of the President of the United States 10 become law. II IS in the shape in which 1t passed the House of Representatives, the friends oftbe Senate's amendment not being able to hold on to it against the large majority, in the other House by which 1t was disagreed to. In this case, the great States have been too much for the small. IL tmay be remarked by the way, that there never perhaps has beer any measure before Congress, a com parison of the division upon which in each House shows so plainly the i'm portance of the organization of the Sen- ate as one of the three branches of the Legislature. That body has failed to protect the rights of the small States in this eases it is true; but it struggled for them: and they would have been saved, if the majority in the popular body had not been of such an oyerwhel- ming power, as to leave no hope of suc- cessiuily combating it, in the action of this subject. ltisin prevention, the req der will perceive, that the power of the Senate lies. 1.-the question had been to take away right from the small States, instead ofto confer one, the Sen ate majority would have stood firm to- yether. and saved the rioht.

 As we have, at the request of three of the Majority members of the Bank Committee, copied an ex-offical state ment oftheirs from the Globe, we can not in common courtesy to the other side of the question, do less than com ply with the similar request which is appended to the following article:- From he National Gasene ef Saturday.
 The following may be supposed to be among the additional questions put by MT. CAMBRELENc to the President of the Bank of the United States, with Mir. BIDDLE's answers.
 Questior, I.-Do you know Mordeeai Manasses Noah, the King of the Jews?
 .4nszoer.-I never saw his Majesty, and have not the honor ofhis acquaiIit- ance.
 c. 2.-Supposing him to be a mid dle-sized man, with Romanish nose, sandy hair, round abdomen, and rather arch look,-a handsome man in the en- senhle,-is 1t not your opinion thatsnch a person would be very apt ata bribe?
 A.--It might be so: but there are so many counterleits current, that I can not say.
 Q. 3.-When James Watson Webb got the discount, did you notice that he is web footed, club-fisted, with bushy black hair, and blue beard2 A. believe so. Q. 4.--Do yoa know how many bnf faIoes therears in the West? A.-Not exactly:-the only ono l ever saw was that you recommended for a branch, with MT. Rochester fol 1 President.
 Q. 5.-Didyou ever circulate on the Schenectady railroad?

ny why 1t should, pass this House at thit
 session. It was rejected. 1t was re jected because there had been no sur
 yey and estimates. To-day my frient from Missouri proposed to amend thi.
 blll by providing for the improvement of the navigation of the Missouri and
 Upper Mississippi. His amendment Va: adopted. WAS glad it was adop. ted. fought to have been adopted.-
 But will the gentlemen of this Commit. tee allow me to ask. if there was SIT. vey ofthose rivers? We're there estimates of the cost of those works? No; there were neither surveys or estimates.-- He asked for tue adoption his amend ment, and you swallowed it down with out q count or division. Why was this amendment adopted and mine rejected Why were surveys and estimates dis pcnscd within his case and required in mine? Why is Missouri provided for, and Arkansas left to her fate? Why is new measure now preferred to an old one? Ny friend has but to ask and he ereceiyes-rot soswith me. Before can get an appropriation of Sl5,0G0 to improve the navigation of the Ar kahsas, It seems that must first have it surveyed by battalion of cadets stnplings who have scarcely age and strength enough to wag under the weight of their eoekades and tinery.-- Yes, sir, those modern Solomons, 1t seems, must ascend the Arkansas in Il steamboat, at the rate of about eight knots an hour, for the purpose of count ing snags and calculating their dimen- sions. A fine employment for cur beard- less heroesl They would be well em- P'oyed, by way of variation or pastime, to amuse themselves by counting the sands upon the shore, or the leaves up- on our forest trees. Such heroes as these, 4po1e seteh an errand, would bring down upon themselves and their em- ployers, the contempt and derison of the very boys and milkmaids of our canc.brakcs. To suppose that any good would result from survey of that riy- CT, is worse than folly--nonsense and madness. 1t is a useless expenditure of the public money. So it would be to re-suryey work, every time you wish ed to repair it. Give money enough; that is all you have to do. The Mem phis road has been surveyed. Itis un- necessary tosuryey il again. In regard to the otherroad, l have only to say the Engineer who superintendcd the struc- ture of it, has written a letter to me, which is in the possession of the Chair. man of the Committee of Internal Inn provement, stating that it will require g, g ,000 in addition to the unexpended balance 10 finish the road at the two OK. tremes. It is about twenty-five miles on the one extreme, and about thirty on the other. Look at the bill. You find thousands of dollars appropriated for roads in Michigan, and not one dollar for Arkansas. The gentleman from Kentucky will vote for those, but he is unwilling that there should be one dol lar appropriated for roads in Arkansas. Ihave said more than l had intended to say. l hope the Committee will dis pose of the amendment.
