HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
RULES AND ORDERS.

Mr.. STILES continued his remarks of yester.
day in reference to abolition petitions. The Con-
stitution declares that the people may peaceably
assemble and petition for redress Of grievances ;
but slavery was no grievance, least OF all was It
such to the North from whence these petitions
came Surprising, however, that it were So it
was grievance which Government had no power
to reach, or Congress to redress.
Mr. WISE interrupted Mr.. Stiles to read Pc
tition sent to him from Pennsylvania, by some
one who prays Congress to grant him divorce
from his wife. The petitioner is tired, he says,
Of supporting other mems children, and has al
ready lost time and money in doing this. The
petition was of very equiyocai character, and
created considerable laughter 1t was obviously
designed TO cast contempt on the right Of petition.
Mr.. STILES proceeded, and arraigned Mr..
Clingman Of North Carolina for having deserted
the South on this subject. Mr.. G. rose to reply,
but as Mr.. SIS hour was nearly up, he waived his
intention Mr.. s. concluded with declaration
of the determination of the South to maintain her
rights invioate at all hazards.
The floor was next assigned to Mr. A. JOHN
SON, of Tennessee, who moved the postpone
ment Of the subject until tomorrow.
Mr.. ADAMS hoped this would not be done
n and called for a division on this motion it was
carried, by 80 to 80.
The SPEAKER then laid before the House
several Executive documents.
sNa$ THE NAVY
Mr.. PARMENTER then moved that the House
go into Committee Of the Whole on the state Of
the Union to take up the bill to allow transfer
of unexpended appropriations to the amount of
100000, or so much thereof as may be needed
from one branch of the Naval service to another.
This bill was advocated by Messrs MCKAY,
WISE, PARMENTER, BLACK, and OWEN,
and opposed by Messrs. BRINKERHOFF,
HOPKINS, BARNARD, and M. BROWN, of
Tennessee.
Several amendments were voted down, and the
bill was finally reported to the House with an
amendment, which permits the transfer, provided
the money can be taken from any other branch of
the Naval service, ichere tt is not needed.
The question was on the passage Of the bill,
when
The House adjourned.

OIL OF TANNIN,
OR LEATHER RESToRER.

A NEW CHEMICAL DISCOVERY.
Most people know that skins and hides convert
ed into leather by the of Tannin extracted from
certain banks, &c.
When the force and strength of the Tannin il worn
out leather becomes dead, hard dry, brittle, cracked
covered with crust, &c. This ALL KNOW. To re-
store then, le sofness, mostness, strength smooth
ness and ramovc all crust fly blister-restore the
tannn. This substance the leather never receive
the second time; but the whole virtues Of it are in
this article, the OIL OF TANNIN-which pene-
trates the stest and hardest leather if it has been
twenty years in use and if it tears easily with the
fingers it imparts at strength that is utterly
Incredible until seen II becomes like leather,
in all respects with delightful softness and polish,
and makes all leather completely and perfectly inn
pervious to particularly boots, shoes, carr
age-tops harness. hose trunks and in fact all things
made of leather, giving splendid polish, high
err than leather has, and at least doubling its
wear and durability, in whatever manner the leather
is used. THESE ARE FACTS.
Those who will may wear old shoes, groan with
corns, ride with old carriage-tops-have old harness,
and throw them away half used-look filthy them
selves and all about them-expend double what is
necessary for articles Of leather to thoir hearts
tent for what we care, If their prejudices are so
strong, they will cot try new discovery We have no
avors to ask Of them, they the greatest sufferers
aud we beg for nobody's custom or patronage. Now,

DEAFNESS.
DR.. McNAIR'S ACOUSTIC OIL-Those deaf
from infancy often receive, in a most miraculous
manner their hearing when they least expect it, by
some triling accident or event, which shows them
how easily they might have much sooner had their
hearing and saved themselves and their friends the
pain Of conversng in loud tone, without pleasure,
Of being neglected and stunned, to avoid that dis
tress which is felt mutually by the deaf person and
his hearers. How sacred duty therefore, il is
that we use all necessary means to remove such an
aliction and enjoy the social qualities implanted in
our natures! This EAR OIL has the effect so to re-
eve the tension and bring into the natural action
of the parts the hearing when lost or
impaired. This is proved by SO many and wellknown
cases, that where known, 1t needs no praise. The
great wish of the proprietor is that each may speak
to others Of its uncommon virtues, till sufferers may
know. and be relieved and restored by its This
will be done in all cases of recent DEAFNESS and
many of long standing. ALL DEAF PERSONS
should use this oil! 1t will relieve at once, or, if
DEAFNESS is just commencing, will remove the
cause and check its progress Those who have been
long deaf should continue Its application few weeks
to hear well. Each flask has full directions for use
