WASHINGTON, SATURDAY, 8 PM.


The Senate Is still engaged on the private calen-
lar. Ga Monday the Tariff Bill is TO be taken up.
II is TO be hoped therefore, that the Navy Appro-
ration Bill will be disposed offto-day Mr.. Mer.
lex has an absurd bill on the subject of postages
which he is much engaged about, but the Senate
will probably be too much occupied about other
matters to kill il during the present session.
In the House, report on the New York Custom
House. by Mr.. Stuart, of the commissioners,
vas ordered to be printed A vote was taken
resolution respecting including monied incorpora-
lions in the bankrupt law, which exhibited de-
cded disposition 50 TO include them, but the mat
ier was finally laid on the table.
Mr. Barnard's provisional tariff bill was read and
referred to the Committee Of the Whole. This bill
provides for the imposition of duty of 20 per cent
all articles which bore that duty the Both June
asst. But the bill declares that there is now no law
for the collection of duties, that it is valueess
altogether.
After characteristic squabble for the priority OF
business, the House went into Committee of the
Whole, and took up the Army Appropriation Bill,
which had come back from the Senate with many
important amendments.
The opinion is, that the Senate will recede from
the manly ground which was assumed in defence of
the navy, and that this favorte branch of the pub
lie service is to be crippled to suit the views of
few pseudo-economists in the House.

The weather here has been uncommonly COO
this summer, but crops OF every kind promise an

Ourquiet little town has lately been the scene OF
three or four dlsgraceful fights. Two of our self
styled gentlemen held a private meeting a few
nights since on the commons, which resulted in one
getting his face badly bruized-stones, canes &c
being used in the combat. The second fight oc-
CURED between two limbs of the law.
Our town is at present filled with humbugs, viz.
animal magnetlzers, phrenologists mormons, and
unlversalists. The latter, however, are doing a
smashing business in the way ofsaving souls.
BY the way, must inform you of our 18th of July
Sabbath School celebration. The different schools
