Telegraphie Summary.

The debate in the Senate, at Washington, yes
terday, both important and interesting, espe'
cially as far this commercial metropolis is con-
cerned. 1t was confined almost exclusively to Mr..
Websters resolution, in relation TO the proprety of
taking measures 10 facilitate the coinage Of the
United States. During the argument that ensued
on this question, Mr. Webster demonstrated, in a
clesr and forcible manner, the necessity existing
for additional minting privileges, and stated that
there were eight millions Of dollars worth of bull
lion waiting coinage in one Of our mints and in the
treasury about nine millions more, making in the
whole seventeen millions of dollars, which sum,
as Mr. Webster justly observed, is lying idle. But
there is TO doubt of the proprety of establishing
mint in New YORK, cr sooner or later we must
have one The commercial metropolis of the
country cannot and should not be subservient to
less important sections in this respect. The COM
mercial requirement, demand that she should have
mint, and We trust that Congress will not adjourn
until il pass bill for that purpose.

every reason TO hope that their report will be a
very comprehensive one, embracing both sides Of
the matter, and putting IL in such shape before
the public that there will be doubt or difficulty
in arriving at an accurate conclusion. The COM
