MORE Custom HOUSE REroRTs.-The Report Of
the majority of the Commissioners (Messrs. Kelley
and Stewart) has been published. We have received
copy, but have only had time to give it "a cursoy
glance. The Report is not of great length, and is
confined tclhe subjects the commissioners directed
to inquire nto without any attacks private cha
racter. 1t does not countenance, or concur in any
of Poindexter's views in regard to the present Col
lecor, (Mr Curtis.) On the contrary, the majority
report commends his vigilance and ability as
public officer and gives him credit for many sautary
reforms in his Office We shall give extracts here
after.
While on this subject, we have something very
curious for old Poins, to examine into-a document
from Mississippi. Will Poins send for Felix Hous-
ton witness, or call upon certain member of
Congress?

 The disposition cannot be too much re- buked, let it exist in any town it may, to send to distant places for products, which could be equally we'll furnished by mechan- ics of their own town. No one thing can be more positively injurious to the real interests of any town than to go over the heads of its of the place money which justly belongs ut home. It prevents them from advancing in prosperity, so as to add to the success of their own.
 There are people, who think that no arti- cle can be good for any thing, unless it be an imported one. Such persons are enemies to the towns in which they live. They do what they can to retard its progress, and dis courage its citizens. It is wholly wrong, un. just and foolish. Every real friend 10 the place in which he lives should do all that he can to encourage its mechanics, and he who hus Q correct conception of the duties ot good neighbor, and true American citizen will ever take pride in doing so, and not run away after every thing that is foreign, from the foolish idea that by doing so it renders injustice to his fellow citizens.-SaturdGy Courier.

On the first day, l5O of these fish were killed by some of the most adventurous of the parishioners, and on the following. encouraged by this success. near ly 400 persons resolved to profit by the windfall, and about 400 seals were killed.- The sport however was not without danger and indeed for considerable time threaten. ed to render Trois Pistoles,a village ofweep. ing widows and orphans. The seals were killed by blow with bludgeon. being pursued over the ice, and so exciting was the sport that those engaged in it did no, perceive until almost too late that South wind which had sprung up had detached the ice from the banks of the river and was blowing it toward the north. The ice had drifted three or four acres before the sports. men perceived their danger. This was al 10 o'clock in the morning. The only means Y of saving 60 large number of men were two small canoes in bad condition, for it was i'm. possible to make use of boats. All however were happily saved, though it was o'clock At night before all were brought to land. kaa.t

In the Senate, various petitions were pre- sented, mostly on the subject of the Bank rupt Law, and by eleven Senators against it's repeal.
 Mr. Morehead, in presenting q petition against the repeal of this law, expressed his desire to support any measure which should set the captive free, but he was convinced, the people of Kentucky were adverse to the law and considering it his duty, he should conform to their sentiments, and vote for the repeal of the law.
 Mr. Walker declared his opposition to the repeal, and called up the resolution yester- mittee on the Judiciary to report an amend. ment to the act 10 include corporations, which having by him been modified at the suggestion of Mir. King, so us to assume the form of inquiry into the expedisncy, was adopted.
 Mir. Evans, from the Committee on Fi- nance, reported the Treasury Note Bill from the House, with amendments. .,.-. The bill for the repeal of the Distribution Act. being the special order, was laid over. In the House. petitions were then received 1 under the suspension of the rules for this I purpose. numbers of which were on the sub ject of slavery, and were laid on the table. Mir. J. R. Ingersoll having presented a pe- tition against the repeal of the Bankrupt Law. moved it's reference to the Committee on the Judiciary. with instructions to inquire into the expediency of reporting bill to es- tablish uniform system of Bankruptcy. in which the imperfections of the Act yestSr- day repealed by the House may be correct ed and its deficiencies supplied. This reso- hutton. under the operation of the previous question, was adopted-yeas eS. nays 50.
 Unsuccessful attempts were made to oaieT several other resolutions.-Ibid.
