81. The main question on the adoption Of
the substitute recurring. MIR. Jones Of Ten
nessee moved that the question be divided,
and that the vote be taken on each item sep
era ely. The molten was lost, and the
amendme nj was rel cted, yeas 50, nays 6.
This vote broush, up The original bill as
amended. Amendments without number
we're introduced. some Of which were adopt
ed and others rejected.
This bill, you will perceive, is what you
would term in New York, The annual log
rolling bill, in which appropriations ale en-
deavoured to be be introduced for the bene-
fit Of every lite river, creek, pond, and
neighborhood in the Union. This has been
the strife for the last two days, and is con-
tinued up TO The hour of closing Of the mails.
No progress has in reality been made in
the passage of the bill since last evening,
although the whole day has teen spent in
discussing it. The bill contains number
of meritorious items of appropriation, but
these are intemixed with so much that is rep
rehensible, that the House would not have
gone far wrong. if they had met the bill
upon its rst introduction with compre-
Eensive negative.
By later advices, we learn that the hsr-
Dor and river bill passed the House Of Re
personalities.

WRITING SCHOOL.

Mr.. DuNToN, having completed his en-
gagement at Racine, has arrived TO com
mence his instruction in the art of Penman-
ship here. Our citizens generally are well
acquainted with MIR. Dunton's wonderful
abilities in the art he proposes 10 teach, so
that il is not necessary for US TO allude 10
them here. We will only say, that we are
confident such an opportunity 10 imyiove in
the art of Penmanship has never before been
offered TO our citzens-and, IN all probabi-
lity, never will again. Mr. Dunton taught
very large school at Racine, Gas indeed he
does every place he s,ops) and we know
gave unboulded satisfaction. Inhabitants
of the country as well as town, will do well
to take advantage of this opportunity offered.
The School commences on MONDAY
EVENING, at the School Room OF Mr.
Spencer, in the South Ward.

There was no person in the gallery when
he began, and only one more than quo
rum of Senators. Soon the news went out,
and the members rushed from the House,
and people began TO f,ck up from the city /.
In fifteen minutes every hack was on the
run, and in one half hour the Senate was
crowded almost 10 suffocation.
A greater CT owd has mol been in the Sc
nate this season, and The city is all excite
ment. Mr.. Bagby has been democrat all
bis life. and has been governor OF Alabama,
and until today has been considered one
Of The warmest friends of Texas.
No one OF his colleagues dreamed Of his
pursuing this course. AS the Texas reso-
luiions were expected TO pass by one vote

great importance.

Oae of the main features of the Foreign
Jews, published in our last, was a rescr.pi
issued by the Pope of Rome, intended TO
pat down the repeal agitation in Ireland
1t is con.ended by many that this is trick
of England, TO quell that which is lraught
with danger to the permanence Of their OPP
preston, and which they cannot reach by
any ordinary process. Many of the leading
men Of Ireland, although Catholics, seem
disposed 10 view the thing in lis just light,
and denounce the wrong, even though the
Pope be author of it. Whether it WI. have
the effect over the mass of mind it is de-
signed to have, remains to be seem We
trust, as we believe that the Irish people
will rise above these petty tricks to keep
them enslaved through the force of the re-
ligous sentiment. and battle without abate-
ment for their rights-for human rights
for thereby alone do they conduce to the
true religion. We regret that this tendency
to succumb TO the dcspotlsm of sef,cons,tu
ted religious teachers, is so prevalent as it
is in the human family. Ii is confined to
no people or sect, bur universal, and lis eff
feet is most deplorable. The Development
of science, and the diffusion of light and
knowledge, which embodes the true reli-
gion, has it to contend against, making their
way slowly with much difficulty in conse-
quence. But they do make their way, and
the close observer will perceive gradual
awakening of the general mind on the SUBJ
ject. The denuncia,ions cf Popes, of B;sh-
ops, and of all orders, from the highest TO
he loves, are losing their influence
People are gradually ,v,,,'ns under the sw2y;
of common sense, and showing disposition
to pursue its dictates, as rule of guidance
1t is possible that this rescrpt may have the
effect temporarily to interrupt the progress
of the lsish people toward the attainme mt of
their freedom; but the small plant bursting
from the ground will turn aside the heavy
stone which rests upon it, and tower toward
the heavens; so will the progress of this i'm
mutable principle. though impeded for a
time by iron rule, burst forth and overwhelm
every species of oppression, whether it be
Church oi State.

PARDON OF NJ SIS WEHsrER-The Frank
fort (ky) Commonwealth contains the
gratifying intelligence that Gov. Cwsley
has granted pardon to Miss Webster
Miss Webster departed immed ately, in
company with her father, for his residence

OF the STAKEHOLDER, but 10 the detriment oil

the progress OF sentiment in this State in
in favor Of Ultimate emancipation. She is,
therefor, hostile TO all agitation Of the slave
question, except by the people in the slave
States; and she designs 10 make the at

North Of the ilegality, the folly, and injus-

spect and regard for the people of Kentucky.

manifested most intense soliciiude TO re

erous and for whom she retains. even in
her misfortune, SO high a respect And
we assure the public that. in these profes

POSTAGE REFORM BILL.

Our readers will recollect that the Senate
pissed bill making the uniform rate of
postage five cents. The bill was sen, 10 the
House, where on the 25th it passed; being
amended, however, so as TO MAKE the postage
five cents on all Letters under 800 mil IS, and
ten cents over that distance. This in all
probability will be concured in by the House
and become law, if the President does not
ve:o it. We published synopsis Of the
bill week or two since, precisely as it has
passed, with the exception ofthe amendment
of which we have spoken. This is very
important reform, the benefits of which, we
suspect, are hardly conceived by the great
mass The heavy burden which has here
to.ore rested upon the community in the
shape of postage, has had unive rsally bad
effect. No one thing, we think, has tended
so much TO prevent The diffusion Of intell-
gence. and much of the harsh and unkind
feeling which exists between different sec
tons of the Union, we are satisfied will melt
away under the influence Of cheap postage.
There will be as we might say, an universal
blending of mind The north, the south,
The east and west, through the frequent in
terchange Of mind and feeling which will be
had, will come TO know and understand each
other fully. and live as they should live, a
band Of brothers. We rather incline to the
opinion, that the five cent provision would
have miaisered as we'll to the revenue, and
in other respects would of course have been
much more beneficial. But is II an expert
menr. aud it is doubtless intended TO 90
upon safe grounds. Posmasters, and ex-
pee ants, may be appre nsive OF The opera
ton OF the law. as doubtless salaries will be
to some extent diminished but their views
are not always correct index of what is ror
the general good.
There is one provision of the law, which,
without arguing the justice of ii, must be
highly beneficial 10 country publishers
