The report in explanation and defence of the:
Presidents plan of finance, is stated, in the
Madisonian, to be cabinet paper. Indeed, I'VE
know that it was under considerationin the cabi-
net. 1t isalso probable that each cabinet officer
contributed his views in the general consultation;
but, STILL it is evident from the style, that the
paper was written by Mr.. Webster. It is a
mastery work, as every one admits; and those
who maybe in favor of doing something in aid of
the currency and exchanges, and may be con-
vinced that this is7the practicable scheme, will,
weigh it WELL before they take the responsibility
of utterly rejecting it. Ills impossible to say,
however, from present appearances, what will
be the fate of the measure. -.s -:
The Senate has, to-day, passed Mr. Preston's
resolution for Joint Committee to superintend
the placing Of Washington's statue in:thero-:
tundo and also-the execution Of the detalssof
the pedestal. s z ..;.lE -: Z. - ~
+ Tie House will adopt the resolution and,
thus, thestatue will haYes "a fair chance for ex-
hibition and due appreciation: That it isl now,
in very disadvantageous light, is universally
admittedt Mr.. Preston, you will see, bears
very strong testimony to the sublimity and beau-

Mr. Fillmore, to-day, reported a bill from
the Committee on Ways and Means, TO extend
the time{of the twelve million loan,, and to add
five millions to it's amount. By this measure
and some adjustment of the tariff, it is proposed
to supply the deficit in the revenue for the year

The House resumed the reconsideration of
the resolution to refer to the Committee on
Manufactures that psft Of the Presidents Mes
4 sage which relates to the tariff The debate on
7 this question does not necessarily involve any
very important consia iaerations- the most that
committees can do Is to mature plans for the
consideration of the House and, ,if there should
be one plan from the Manufactures and another
from the Ways and Means, it would be Of nc
embarrassment to the House. But, the occa.
sion is suitable one to present, in advance o.
the action of the committees, the views Of the
members on the subjects of the tariff and the
revenue. = -. - ~ = - |:
Mr.. Atherton spoke, to-day, in favor of the
reference to the Ways and Means, and in de.
fence Of the late administration from the charge
of extravaganza. At the same time, he accused
the present :whg administration of wastful ant
corrupt extravaganza. Dlr. Arnold, of Tennes
see, denied that the present wasi rrltig admins
tration; and denounced John Tyler, as a'worst
locofoco than Martin Van Buren,
Mr.. Reynolds, of Illinois, spoke in supper
Of the free trade doctrines; and passed troH
that subject, to the var against China and othei
proofs Of the intention OF England 10 extcnt
her dominion over the world. blr. Adams viii
