Mr.. EVANS, Of Maryland, called attention 10
the fact that the Report Of the Secretary Of the
Treasury, on the finances, had not been printed.
He had been informed that the document had not
been printed, because no order was given.
Mr.. VINTON said that Immediately after the
Report was sent in, on his motion IL ordered 70

Mr.. EVANS expressed The hope that the Com
mttce on Printing would look into the subject
Mr.. SCHENCK said that they bad not yet had

tables which should have been furnished even when
they were trying 10 elect Speaker.
The SPEAKER said that he had been informed
by the Clerk that the Journal had been printed Up
TO the 18th Of January, and copies we're now in the
document room.
Mr.. JONES stated that since be had been in Con-
gress there bad been an entire change in the mode
Of furnishing documents Formerly, az soon az

The Forrest Dirorcs Case.

II was announced in our last, that the lature of Pennsylvania hat rejected the application of EDWIN FOREST for a divorce, and refused to grant 10 the courts of Philadelphia. jurisdiction of the case We published sometime since, the letter of Mrs. FORREST. containing her defence to the appl- cation. As the case seems to have excited much curiosity and no little sympathy, We deem it not improper to publish to-day some extracts from the testimony sddueed by Mr. FoRREsr, upon which the application was based. The alleged letter of GEc- I.=i=sos, and inc evidence of PAKxE (iopwlS and CHRISTINA UNDERWOOD. d family servant of Mr. FoREEsr, will bs found in another column.
