her of the administration party in the other
house, he said, had asked five millions in
treasury notes, as ample provision for the
wear from the fourth of march, with the
means on hand. 1t had been cheerfully
voted They then said they would rcim-
burse this sum by an increased tariff on
luxuries, wines, and silk, and this was to
suffice for all the wants under this ecOnn-
mcal administration. which only wanted
S5,0G0, 900 per year more than the last.
This was the course laid down on en-
tering on the administration, and now they
were asking twelve millions, IN addition
to the five in treasury notes, and the five
millions additional tariff. The amendment
was lost-2l to &c.
Mr.. King then proposed to reduce the
amount 10 be borrowed to nine millions.
Lost--22 to 20.
Mr.. Sewer proposed to prohibit the re,
issue of the six millions Of treasury notes,
which it was assumed this loan of twelve
millions was intended, among others, to
redeem. He showed that these six mil
lions might come in and be ressued AT
any time during the year, and they would
then he a loan for another year-a clear
addition to the loan Of twelve millions.
The proposition was lost, by 20 to 81.
The senate then adjourned.
H1uSe-Mr. Arnold, of Tenn, moved
the reconsideration of the resolution Ter
taking the ratification bill out of commit
tee to-day at .. Mr.. A. said, the house
was disposed to 90 on and accomplish
their work of reform and relief; but he
minated that the great measures Of the
session would be lost. God be praiS-
ed - cried some of the democrats. Mr..
A. said he had been informed by an midi
vidu.l Of the highest distinction in the
other house, that there was little prospect
of doing any thing for the relief of the
country in that body. Wait ten days
and see, exclaimed Mr.. Bots. Mr.. A.
went on to say that Virginia distractions
held sway in congress and with the exc
culive. You are shooting wide of the
mark, said one This congress has lost
the confidence Of the whig party, continu-
ed Mr.. Arnold. You are shooting al
your friends, cried some one. Mr.. A.
went on until he was clamored down BY
cries of order. The previous question
was moved on Mr.. AS motion, and there
being a tie, the speaker decided in the az
irmalive, and the resolution was then re-
considered and Withdrawn.
The ratification bill was now taken up
and discussed during the day, and on mo.
ton Of Mr. Bolts, it was agreed to take
the bill out Of committee next Tuesday.
W0Rday, Jviy 10 Senafe-The loan
bill was taken up at an early hour, and
the debate was opened by a powerful
speech against it from Mr.. Calhoun, who
was followed by Messrs. Woodbury., Nj
choson, and others. The debate was con-
cluded by Mr.. Benton IN speech of about
an hour, replete with the logic of facts
and figures, but, it cannot be abridged.
The final question on the bill was then
taken and it passed, as follows:
AYES-Siessrs. Barrow, Bates, Bayard, Ber-

Wright, and \ ouns-2o.
The bank bill was then again taken up,
but the discussion WAS not renewed, as
the senate then adjourned.
H3uSe-'rhc fertilization bill occupied
the whole day, in committee of the whole,
hut no final vote was taken thereon, the
merely rising and reporting
progress, after an unusually rambling dc
bate, of no manner OF interest any where.
July 20-Scnoie-The bank bill com
ing up in order, Mr.. Smith, of Connectj-
cut, said he had received instructions from
the Legislature Of his state to vote for the
bill, and then proceeded in long speech
10 give his reasons for not obcying those
Instructions. After he had concluded,
Mr.. Nicholson offered an amendment
% the effect that the branches of the bank

o taxation by the states. MIR. Clay OPP
posed the amendment on the ground that
t would place the bank in the power of
