The bill for the relief Of the sufferers
by the great fire in New York, was cal
led up for its third reading, and explain
ed by MIR. Wright. 1t appears tha, one
half Of the custom house bonds had been
paid by the merchants, and Mr.. Wright
moved to amend the bill so a. to extend
the same relief to those sufferers who
had paid their bonds, rs TO those who
had not. The amount thus paid, is sta
ted at S4O5, 10, and the relief is to be
extended to those sufferers only who
have lost more than one thousand dol-
lars. The amendment was agreed to,
and the bill ordered 10 a third reading
The bill to increase the pay Of tho
marine corps was likewise passed, and
ordered to third reading.
The HoUse was engaged chiefly up
on great number Oc bills, respecting
the local affairs Of the District Of Colum-

DIVISION OFTHE SURPLUS
REVENUE.

The bill for the division Of the surplus
revenue in the national treasury, among
the states, having escaped the perils OF
the .veto-because the President saw
that even the veto could not compass its
deieat-and received the executive sig
nature, we may congratulate our read
ers, and the nation al large, that it is now
THE LAW OF THE LAND. For this great
measure OF justice, we may emphatically
award the praise, and the glory, to THE
VINO MEMBERS OF THE Senate, who,
by the force Of their own lofty talents,
by their stern integrity, by the inhexi-
bllity OF their purposes, and by their un-
fiinching adherence to the line Of duty,
have achieved this great me asure Of pub
lie good, in defiance OF the whole pow er
OF the government, the undisguised and
boisterous opposition Of the President,
and the subtle Vaccinations OF his willy
nominee. There have been times, dur
ing the dark hours of the present session
Of Congress, after the political change
wrought in the character Of the Senate
through "the interference OF the execu-
tive with the freedom Of state elections,
when we have almost arrived ut the con-
clusion that it would be better for whig
senators one and all 10 resign their Sc ats
and leave the factions in the unopposed d
posse ession Of the government. When
we have heard the voice Of wisdom en-
erted in vain; the lessons of patriotism
urged TO no purpose; and the tongues of
eloquence u,,ering the most stirring and
patriotic appeals without visible effect
oui hearts have almost sunk within us at
the prospect, and we have been ready,
in the bitterness Of our hearts to exclaim
I-"Ephraim is joined to his Idois-iet
h'm aione"' But the triumph of tho mi.
norlty IN the recent measure, while 1t
shows not only how much evil may at
times be aver,ed by the wisdom of an a.

The Richmond Enquirer, n prominenl
supporter Of Mr.. Van Buren,, thu.
speaks Of the Dcposite Bill. IT is idle
to concea al the fact, that the majority by
which that bill has been carried in both
branches Of Congress, is a blow from
which Martin Van Buren, cannot re-
cover:
"For our own parts, we do not besi.
tate 30 repeat, what we declared on FRI
day last-Let lbs not touch the Surplus
during the present session.
"We hope vet this bill may be lost
If not by the vote Of the House, ut least
by the frmness Of the President. nv.
Wright has given in The speech which
we lay before our readers, the pith OF
most of the objections to the measure. -
1t ia idle to talk of depositing the money
with the States. 1t is to all intents and
purposes the same as giring it, Who
expects to get it 5ack' The evasion is
as fiimsy as it is ridiculous"
The Albany Argus Van Buren, thus
mourns over the prospect:
awe cannot but regard the deposite
bill, as it has passed the Senate Of the
U. s., including the provision for the
distribution Of the surplus among the
States, as measure fraught with great
and serious danger to the welfare Of the
republic"
The New York Evening Post,
another Van Buren press, hopes that the
President will place his reto upon the
Deposte Bill.
