The bill for regulating the pay Of the Navy
was yesterday passed over by very lean vote
in the House of Representatives, in order to
vote must not, Of itself, be considered an ind-
cation against the Nary bill, because most of the
absentees had gone to the Senate, to hear Mr..
Webster speak on the old French claims bill,
and majority Of the absentees might have
been, probably were, friendly to the bill. AS
far as public opinion on the subject may be
inferred from the language of the public prints,
it is decidedly in favor of the bill; for our
selves, we should be glad to see the evidence,
which would be afforded by its passage, of a
favorable disposition in Congress towards the
Navy.
The appropriation bills for the Revolutionary
pensions, the Indian Department. and the Navy,
were gone through WITH and ordered to be en-
crossed for third reading.

In the SENATE, we had, yesterday, the first full
house, to use a theatrical phrase, that we have
mad this season. 1t was known. from what was
reported to have passed at Fridays sitting Of the
Senate, that Mr. WEBSTER was, to-day, to make
his argument in favor Of the bill to appropriate
money to pay the claims Of our citizens upon
France for spoiliations committed prior to 1900.
The subject was rather dry one: but no subject
can be uninterestng in Mr.. WEBsrERs hands,
He did not fail to make the best of that which he
had before him to discuss.

the Senate Chamber to hear Mr.. WEBSTER, were
gratfed beyo their expectations, in hearing
also both Mr.. CALHOUN and MIR. CLAY, who join
