REMARKS.

COTTON.-Sinceo our last report the market
has again tagged, and further decline has taken
place. This is generally the near the time
when news is expected by the Steamers from the
other side of the water So we shall scarcely
have revival in prices till next week, and then
only in case the accounts are favorable. We are
pretty confident however, there can be no furth-
er decline. We quote extremes today from to
81 cents-an extraordinary fine lot might bring
something more.
EXCHANGES, on New York, Boston, Phil
lphia and Baltimore, are all at par. Ken.

CONGRESS

Ia The Senate on HE 18th, Mr.. Allen
called up House bull No. for refunding
iiue imposed on Gen. Jackson.
Mr.. Berrien said iha, the bill, as il came
from the House, showed on its face, BIZ its
mere import, er ri termini, that the fine
had been wrongfuuy imposed; that the
money had been Improperly detained in the
Treasury, aud should be returned, with in.
lefest, to the party upon whom it had been
imposed. Il seemed 10 the Committee on
the Judiciary that the object of the Sen.
ale, in referring the bill to them, was that
they should see that, in performing this
act Of grace, or justice, or whatever else
IT might be termed, no injustice was done
TO the memory Of the judicial officer whose
memory was connected with the transac.
ton 10 question. Unless this was the OBJ
lect, the committee did not know what
was. The committee have been induced
simply TO protec, from unps, impuialion

iee, who did not agree 10 the Amendment
reported, stated his reason for &c same
to be that he did not see that the BIZ call.

Mr.. Allen insisted that the amendment
was homogeneous, as much 50, almost,as
would have been paragraph from TIC
Declaration OF Independence, had sucl
been attached to the bill. He hoped tha
the amendment would be rejected by near
Nv an unanimous vote.
Mr. Foster gave, briefly, some reasons
why he LIQUID oppose the amendment
He was influenced by no popular fear--ht
hoped he had SO little love for that popu
larity which was often gained without {
virtue, and lost without crime, as any
one. lie had examined this bill with mi
croscopic eyes TO sec il he could delec
any attempt in 1t 10 PROSTATE beneath The
garb Of conqueror, the great Palladium
OF American liberty, but he could finc
none. lie trusted that the bill might be
passed without the amendment. There
had been already expended, in wind ant
paper, five times as much as the whole
matter was worth.
