10 all this deficiency should be added, MI Clay said,
the expenses of the Extra Session.
Mr. Clay expressed his strong desire to reduce the
expenses Tor the next session; but said it would be in
dispehsaole al the next session to have another loan.
lie thought the average OF the expenses Of this ad-
minis'ration would not equal that of Mr. Van Buren's.
lie hoped to bring i, down to twenty-five, or even
twenty millions. He recolIected this government when
he whole civil list cost but six hundred thousand dol
lars. BIZ, now great abuses had crept into the admin
is'ration OF the revenues.
The question was then taken on motion Of Mr.
Woodbury. 10 amend the bill, by e~xempting COFFEE and
Tea from duties, and ,cas decided IN The affirmative, 80
TO 10.
Mr. Allen moved to exempt Sal, from duties.
Mr. Walker wished 10 amend the amendment so as
TO include gunny bags, Mr. Preston objected to this;
pending which question, the Senate adjourned.
Inihe House, to-day, MrJ. Q Adams spoke on the
Mcleod resolution, and made a vigorous defence of
Mr. Webster's coure on that subject. He remarked
iha, the American people had reason 10 thank God
that Daniel Webster had the management, Of this bust
ness.
This opinion on the part OF Mr. Adams, was disin-
interested and pstrio,ic,-for he has not been suppos-
ed to be very partial to Mr. Webster.
Tuesday, Sept. 7.
The Rerenus BN Passed.
The Senate, to-day, took up the Revenue bill again,
and many amendments were offered and rejected.

srevenue TO give away.
After some debate the amendment was rejected.
Mr. Loco Walker, Of Mississippi, next offered an
amendment, TO exempt Gld and Sluer Watches ana
Jrsehry from revenue duties. Wonder II the Lokies
will not manage TO make out from this statement, that
the Wings are for e%xemptng from taxation articles OF
luxury and hnery, consumed by the rice. They'll
get some dead man OF other 10 swear TO Utmost likely
There was much conversation upon the question o

ed to hI the lst Of November. Mr. Woodbury. SAID
