The galleries were crowded with the amateurs OF
parliamentary eloqucRcc, the IDLE and curious some
sitting some standing, and some on the shoulders Of

dent. A poor, shabby, genteel sort Of dandy, with
rusty old cloak fastened round his neck by clasp of
brass had been pnioned against the WALL and finding
his berth rather unpleasant, made effort to escape.
The wave of the crowd pushed him one way. while
his cloak, pressed by those behind him, held him
fast One arm was thrown forward and the other, in
the hand of which he held shabby old cap, was
fastened down to his body by the pressure of those

IN bald headed man very costly listening to the or
ator. Over him hung little Frenchman, who being
somewhat troubled with catarrh, and having
charged his enormous nasal organ with undue
supply of snuff was letting it, after being converted
into liquid, dstil uncenscieusly on the bald pare of
the man in front of him, who became a good deal
annoyed by the operation. He looked up and seeing
the cause very gravely observed "Friend, IL thank
youif you would wipe your nese for I'll be hanged If
can stand the dripplngs of your sanctuary any
longer"
The farce was too much for the gravity of those in
the immediate neighborhood, and thought the whole
gallery would have been ordered to be cleared.
"Pll thank you if yeu would not bear on me SO
heavily" said small man TO huge specimen Of

"Hieh pressure my friend, has, you know been pre-
ferred to lop pressure by engineers, and hope you
are too good republican TO complain Of the liberty

man. 'has brought you up TO yosr high pressure, but
mast say that tits confoundedly more offensive than

supply to fill the mass you carry before ysu' said the
little man, rather petulanty.
"Of course" said heother, goodnaturedly; "but
you should mt complain, for il may be said of you

"Rather," observed the little man, 'stat mdgni cor

aBut is that gentleman on the floor in conversation
with Calhoun relation of yours"
"Oh no. That is Dixon II. Lewis, called the in
FAINT of the House. winter or two ago, called at
the house where nc boarded, TO get lodgings. ask
ed the landlady If could be accommodated. She
looked al me as if to measure me with her eye, and
observed very gravely that her house was already
full. Full said !, why understand you have but
one boarder. But he is Mr.. Lewis, she answered
and left me to infer that he filled the house alone and
that there was no room for another of the same size"
After Webster had concluded, an attempt was
made 10 press the bill to third reading; but Mr.
Rlves said he wished TO propose substitute and il
was postponed till today when il was again laid over
ill Tuesday next Mr.. Clay IN of opinion that the
bill will lead TO the consolidation Of the powers Of
the Government, and tend to destroy the power and
influence Of the States-that IL will vest in the Secre
tary Of the Treasury power equal TO that of eight or
nine hundred banks and that of the late United States
Bank; and therefore, as the Secretary is the creature
Of the President, that this power will be placed in
the hands Of the Executive. Calhoun talked very
Dramatically about being prepared 10 show that Il
would diminish, not only the Executive influence but
that OF the Government generay-and about his
ability to meet Mr.. Clay on any OF the points he
mentioned. He seemed TO be as positive about the
utility OF this measure, az he was in 1916 about the
constsiionaly Of the United States Bank, and it's
indispensable necessity. The opinions OF q weather.

Mr.. Adamsis still talking about the affair Of Goros.
tsa and has quoted several analogous cases from the
diplomatic history OF our country to show that the
conduct of the Mexican envoy was not more censur-
able than Of VI. Genet minister from France the
Marquis de Casa Yrujo, from Span during the adm
nistrations Of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson
and Don Ons and James Jackson in that Of Mr. !
Madison. The conduc; OF these mea was much
more oursgccss than that OF Goroshza and YET was
not deemed a cause Of war. Mr. Cushing who
