 Subjects before COngrcss.-l'hOugh two weeks have passed since the meeting o Congress there have been but six days in which the two Houses have been tn session for the transaction O public business. Tue prevented an organization until the sFa day uI the sessOn, and the last two days Ot each wee have been dies for pWblc business. In no six days e- glsatiOny however, have there been more interesting questions before Congress. It Is worth while tO emu. nerate them as they are all but in emhryo and 10 be reconsidered again before the session cl.see.
 First n importance, is the Repeal Of the Sub'lrea- sury Bill proposed in both Houses.
 Second, is ihe pTopostion.o of Mir Benton to cstab- lish permanent Pre-Emption Sysrem--or "a Log guished humbug and the off;eisi organs. This Bill, by the way, has gone tO the Committee on Pubic Lands without Q vote in the Senate. The mover thought proper to abandon his position of making the Dill test question, as drawn upbY himself. There were some of his own party unwilling to put their fingers m such !Eap to gratify of the chief talns ot EOcofoe0sn1.
 MT. Clay of Alabama, is the Graduation Bill. which Is sent to the Committee of Finance, as SO called revenue measure. This s another of the impractical schemes ot the LOcos, and one upon which 1t is hoped some political capital may be made. The mover ex- poets thds such bill this will supply the deficient reven0es of the government. and Mr. Calhoun be- fNn Sns, however. has another and a pet scheme of his own, which IS to give condtonally all the public domain to the new states.
 A fourth and important measure before Congress, is the joint resolution of Mr Talmadge in the Senate, and Mir. Hunt in tho House of Representatives, to amend the Constitution of the United States tor tho purpose Ot limiting the Presidential term Of service to A fifth measure is the proposed amendment of MT. IaPpan, to limit the service of Judges upon the bench of MT. Tappan is the innovation proposed in the French Convention with the exception that in France 1t was not to bS regarded necessary for Judge to know any thing Of Jurisprudence. vender m pills was regarded as we'll qualified as Judge score of years in service.
 A sixth measure is Bill intended to take the thou. of Congress- and refer them to board ot commission CTS: An excellent measure. A seventh is a bill limiting the emolnments and salaries ot Collectors Marshals, and more particular

 The Bankrupt Bill will also be brought before Con eress again, and probably de nooo: The bill which passed the Senate at the las! session found is way only to .s ne 5as Judiciary Committee ot s a"sse % but in the hurry of the closing of the last Congress no bill could be reported for action; Upon S % S ns committee hear it is ost and new bill is therefore necesssry. There is possibility of passing Bank; 9ps B 1 ns session. but a: in the case oi the repeal deed. of repsalng the Sub Treasury Bl. grows out dead lette! The execution ofthe revenue service, so far relates to the receiving, keeping and dhnrs: lnS o the public money is as t was before e he eh oi auy :s when the S secSna Declaration % oi indepen @p G the specie paying banks are received for public duee and held by the Receivers General; The process is explained hy Mr. Clay day or two since in the Sc. nate Chamber.

Prior to that the paper of no hank not paying specie was received, ana 70 90 now; and this is the amount of the whole operation of this

Tinghast has sought from the Secretary of the TreatuFy information upon all these particulars. and tho administration members, though they spoke against the resolution did not dare vote 1t down after the yeas and nays were demanded.
 Other questions Of moment are before Congress such as the Cumberland Road, the Harbor Blll-and in addition these, before the session closes, will come the Appostionmcnt Bk and perhaps some spar ring upon inc Tariff qtieston So you see there is no lack of subjects before Congress- and # the session IS not an interesting one win not be for tho want of variety y.-Erpress.
 Another .Sirnmbo1f Ezplosion.-The New Orleans Bee of Dec. "A, states that the steamboat Cherokee burst her boilers as she was departing OH from the shore at Louisburg; by which accident fourteen men were killed and seven dangerously wounded Among the killed we notice the name Of MT K. E Hub bard, of Conn.,, and Capt. Wyman, of the steamer Lady Morgan. The boat sunk in fifteen feet water None were drowned. One hundred and twenty thousand dollars in specie belonging to the Govern. ment was saved The Captain of the boats e. HaT- ris) had his back bn,ken, and was not expected to recover. Several individuals on the banks of the river were wounded Ey fragments of the boiler and boai.-N. H. PaI.
