In SENATE, the journal being read, Mr.. WEBSTER
and said that there had been frequent inquiries
about the course likely 70 be pursued by the Com.
n,ttee on Finance relative TO the Independent
Treasury BiIl-some,imes called the Sab Treasury
Bill
He was no panic.maker and rather wanted to al
lay than create excitement. He would ask two or
three questions from the honorable chairman Of the
Committee, which ne hoped the Honorable Senator
could answer definitely.
Mr. WEBSTER then put several questions, inquir-
ing whether the Committee had considered the bill
referred 10, whether they would repor, any amend
nents, and whether they had fixed any time Tor cali
ing up the bill.
Mr.. LEWIS replied that they had had the Gill re-
ferred 10 under consideration. That they had re-
solved 10 give precedence TO bill from the Sena-
tor from New.York for the establishment of a
Warebousing system. The Committee had also
thought the establishment of Branch Minis al New
York and Charleston was necessary. They were
not in favor of introducing the action Of the specie
clause before January next.
Their Committee were anxious to have the bill
go into operation Immediately 80 that the collections
might be made in the only constitutional currency,
but at the same time they anxious 10 avoid
any arrangement in business affairs.
Mr.. WEBSTER expressed his thanks for the infor-
nation conveyed.
After some unimportant business the resolution
OItIcu sONue Time since by lLF. JANNkCiS,

expenditure Of the Secret Service Fund" came
up in order.
Mr.. WEBSTER rose aud read a short statement
with regard The Message OF the President in reply
10 Mr. Ingersols resolution. He entirely approved
Of the Presidents Message. He could not consiitu-
tionaly have replied otherwise However the pub
LEGATION OF the Information referred 70 might vlndl-
cafe himself from charges made against him, yet be
could not consent that Law should be violated and
trodden down 10 serve private purpose.
He would say that these changes were utterly
and entirely false that if the person making them
had any authority he could produce it He repeat
ed. however that they were wholly false
He would leave the author of these miserable
vtupersrons in the unenviable position iii which
he had placed himself | will leave him, said Mr.
w. making an appropriate motion with his hand,
in the worst possible compeny,-l leave him with
himself having already taken too much notice OF
such miserable ISLANDERS.

marks, but they were taken away. The above Is
the substance-you can copy them from the city pa
pers for your morning edition.

This is most emphatic condemnation OF the
House Of Representatives for their conduct. 1t is
condemnation endorsed by both parties, and unani
mously so with one exception. There is something
good in the Senate after all. No wonder that the
rabble at the other end Of the Capitol hate them

When | heard that he was speaking left the SEN

pencil pointed.

ed believe for the purpose of hearing the dis
tinguished scholar, Mr.. MARSH, OF VT who intends
TO speak the subject, but is to-day indisposed.

cessity of being licensed came up in Committee un-
der the auspices Of Mr.. BRoDREAD of Pa. 1t was
