NorE-Those marked thus (s) are democrats.
The supporters Of the bill acted with less than
their usual caution. They endeavored to carry it
by a eoup de main. After reporting it from the
Committee on Finance, they allowed the enemy
to pour hot shot into il INCREASINGLY, scarcely deem

appropriation for Staten LsLand-Ihs Colonization
Of Catforna-Mrs. Madison-Ihe Warehouse
BiA-Ihe Postage Law.
II Will no doubt be gratifying to the people OF
New York, that Notwithstanding a motion was
made to lay on the table the bill containing an
appropriation of hundred thousand liars for
the purchase and repair of the defensive works
on Staten lsand-t was passed by a majority of
81 to 81. Mr.. Burt, of South Carolina, though he
was hostile to the improvement, by the general
government, of rivers and harbors, said that this
was subject Of such magnitude and importance,
that il would be madness and folly to resist it,
Messrs Campbell and Seaman, on former occa-
sion, We're equally rs Jealous in enforcing the APP
preparation; and to their exertions, an eminent
degree, may be attributed the gratifying result.
But the bill has to go through the ordeal Of the
Senate. IT, however, Senators from New York
exert themselves ms earnestly-and there is no
reason TO entertain of this doubt--the bill will
pass into a law. Amen.
Mr. Davis, of Kentucky, made Intellectual
effort TO obtain from the President an answer to
an enquiry whether Col. j. ID. Stevenson had
been sent to colonize any portion Of California
But this question was too direct, and the majority
refused to suspend the rules to enable him to
submit his resolution. Mr.. Ashmun, at a subse-
quent period of the day, alluded to the Cooneps
expedition, and insisted that the war was one OF
cenquest-to seize California first, and coonzeit
afterwards He admitted that the bay of San
Francisco would be of immense value TO
our commerce. truth which no gentleman can
deny. Make this our property, and the vessels OF
New England would be as numerous in that di-
rection as the number Of her cotton mills at
home. The objection to this acquisition arises
from the double means employed-blood and
money; and by the latter, it is commanded, a good
bargain could be driven, peaceably, and at a
cheaper rate.
During the day, Mrs. Madison, widow of the
Ex-President, accompanied by her niece, Miss
Paine, came into the rear Of the House, conduct
ed by Messrs. Dromgoole and Bagby, and took
seats in front of the Speakers chair, and in full
view of the members. They remained about
twenty minutes. Just before the adjournment
General Dromgoole endeavored to fix day for
the consideration of the bill to purchase the manu-
script works OF Mr.. Madison, not heretofore pub
lished but there was no quorum TO transact bu-
siness In fact, there were not more than forty
members in attendance-the Senate being the
theatre of attraction.
The warehouse blu was made the special order
for Wednesday next.
The bill to alter the rates Of postage was consd-
cred in committee, and several amendments pro-
posed. Even if it should pass the House, it can
not be reasonably expected ;hat the Senate will
act on it, although the committee on the post
office are sanguine of such result. FELIX.

Crittenden's Speech-Close of the Tariff Battle
The Defeat of the Bill Blow to the Admimistra-
tiom-7he River and Harbm Bill.
Before this reaches you, you will have learned
the defeat of MIR. Walkers new tariff bill. The
measure was lost by the resignation of Mr.. Hay
wool. On Saturday, the supporters of the bill
were thunderstruck, at hearing of the resignation
of the North Carolina Senator; and the admins
tration organ, of Saturday night, denounced tn at
gentleman in no measured terms, for what is
cal led his " deserton " in the nick of time. But
the friends of the bill still had hopes based upon
the doubtful chance of Mr.. Niles, or Mr.. Jarna-
gin, voting for the measure.
About one o'clock to-day Mr.. Webster finished
a very powerful argument in opposition TO the
BILL and at the close moved an amendment of one
OF the penal clauses. This produced some light
skirmishing, in the course of which Mr.. ]. M.
Clayton moved several amendments with a view
to defeat the bill. The first of these-to recommt
the bill to the committee, with instructions to re-
store the minimum and specific duties of the
tariff of 1842-although considered test uestion,
was lost-Mr. Niles and Mr. Jarnagn voting
gainst it. This result gave the friends of the
measure great hope. But Mr. Claytons other re.
solution, TO commit with instructions to remove
from the bill duties imposed in cases where any
foreign raw material is taxed to the prejudice OF
any mechanic manufacturer, prevailed by the
following vote. You will perceive that the vote
stands precisely you predicted it several days
since, with the exception of course of MIR. Hay
