 Friday, Jan. 10.
 In Senate, Mir. Frsnghuysen introduced resOln- ton as IOIiOws:-
 Resolved. That the Secretary of the Treasury be directed IO Hprm the Senate tue construction which has been given iy that department, the passed the last session of Congress entitled (" An act to modify 'he act of lhe l4lh July, lSS2 and a other acts imposing duties impOrIs" aud also to turuish copies of such instructions may have beem given to cOllectors regulating their duty under the said Rct. Mr. Ckay said ne glad the gentleman had pre-. seniel this resolution. It lhe information which he had received relative io the construction given the Of last session by the Secretary 0f the Treasury, were cOrrecf, tt WAS necessary that there should be prompt Legislation OM the subject. He had heard that the Secretary had put a construction that act by which the minimum duties cotton fabrics Iirely swept a~ay, a"d the duties brought down from 80 10 20 per cent. IL was construction which, II per- severed iD would expose to inevitable desEuciIO the whole cotIon manufacture of.the country, aud espe- cally that ol printing. He wished that fair exPeri shoHd be nsde nmder the act ot last sesson, and that that might be d"He the construction UughtIO he n accordance with the plain meaning and intent oi Congress. and not by Treasury interpretation.
 Mr. Webster said that this subject had nev0r attrac ted his attention ume under his notice, Walil tis morning. He had received tue same inlornation which inc gentleman Grom Kentucky had, n relation this matter, and he did not lesaie io say, thal M ihe construction given by ,he Secretary oths Tseas 0ry be carrec il woui be egtire prasiratoB of the whole cotton manu lecture of this country. While the bill peHlng, during the lRst sessons he gave an opinion the itir and just constructions of the ac and sOme of the gentlemen him would remember that he then asked vm them the expression of their opinions he sntject in writing. which were giseO, adverse io that supposed 10 be held by the SecretaTy He therefore roncarred m the opinion of :he necessi- " o obtaining the imputed construction, whatever II might be. Hthat were true, millions upon millions would not compensate for the injury which would be inflicted upon that branch of the national ndasiry, the manufacture Of cotton fabrics. The iDlormaan came upon him at blow, he prepared foF ii. Opposed, he was, o the passase ol the aw at the as session, he hen saw no such consequences tn be apprehended from it. aud .e was sure the gentien'n from Kentucky himself, wiD introduced the hill, did not, and could n0, have anticipated such thing. It was tEne, he that such construction might be given i, aud he did hope that II e iUtn out that the Secretary did not give it such n constructions as had been imputed t0hm. He was, therefore, ia favor of the immediate adoption ot the resolutions.
 AGer few remarks by Mr. Forsy,h, the resolution was agreed to. Mr. Southland concluded his reniarks upon the special of the day. the removal of the deposi,es; when Mr. Calhoun rose, and expressing . wish to address the Senate. moved an adjouroment; hut the Senate went into executive business. Ad- joWrned to Monday.
 En the House, far as we have the reports, nothing of consequence was done. Adj'd to Monday.
