HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
FRIDAY. January 30. 1852.

Among the resolutions reported yesterd ",
which escaped notice, one authorizing the
Committee OF the ID strict Of Columbia TO send for
persons and papers, with reference to the enquiry
into the issue Of small notes.
Mr.. DANIEL, Of North Carolinn, moved that
the rules be suspended, TO enable him to submit a
motion that the House resolved itself into Com
mitteesof the Whole on private claims.
Mr.. HARRIS, Of Tennessee, moved an amend
ment, that the House resolve itself into Com
mittee of the Whole the state Of the Union, for
the consideration Of the order OF the day the two
bills authorizing the assignment Of Bounty Land
warrants. ...
This motion MIR. HARRIs agreed to withdraw,
IL the other were withdrawn; and the House
proceeded with the unfinished business Of yester.
day--receiving the reports of committees.
A bill was introduced and read first time, pro.
yiding for the payment of certain military compa.
MES that were engaged during the Florida war.
Mr. STAN TON, of Tennessee, Chairman OF
the Committee on Naval Affairs, reported reso.
luton for the employment Of a clerk.
He said the committee would not have reported
the resolution, had it not been absolutely neces
sary, owing to the accumulation Of private memo
rails in addition to which, there was an influx OF
public business Of an important character, which
must be neglected if assistance were not afforded
Mr.. SWEETSER, Of Ohio, said he had opposed
the motion yesterday from misrepresentation, and
would vote IN favor OF the present reSOHltlOn ana
also change it on the other.
Mr.. MASON, Of Kentucky, said there are al.
ready forty clerks employed, who were attached
20 Congress, and paid out Of the contingent fund
and who are not recognised by law. He preferred
referring the subject to committee for the pur.
pose Of making the necessary investigation, and
moved an amendment, that the report of the Com.
mittee on Naval Affairs, which had been amended
so as to include the Post Office Committee, be re-
ferred to the Committee on Accounts, with instruc.
tons to enquire as TO the number Of clerks in the
service sf the House, and to report if it cannot
be reduced without injury to the public service
and TO report by bill or otherwise.
Mr.. TUCK, Of New Hampshire, thought the
House should not hesitate to grant what the chair
man Of most important committee considered
necessary, and who has TO pay from his private
funds, to have the duties OF that committee dis
charged.
MT. McMULLEN moved to lay the resolution
on the table upon which the yeas and nays wer
ordered, and which was negatiyed-yeas 70, nay
"a.
Mr.. COBB, Of Alabama, suggested that, as tn
resolution provides for the employment Of
clerk for the Committee on Postroeds, as well a
that on Military Affairs, il sho I'd be modifet

that you should bear in mind, that on the 23d

hold its annual Exhibition and Fair at the city o.
Baltimore and we appeal to you, one and ali, to
bring for exhibition thereat portions of your stock,
The products of your orchards, and of your gardens.
Don't presume that any animal, or product, you
may own is inferior to others that will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as il is
only by comparison that the relative merits of any
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have
is good, if not better than that Of others, and
that it behooves you to calamity enter the list of
competition: if defeated honorably, and the high
character of the judges is a guarantee that you
can he defeated in no other way, you will enjoy
the luxury Of knowing that others were more en-
lied to success than yourself.
And while we address you to bring such articles
as are properly in your department, We crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
ioires and daughters TO bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments, embroidery, no,ise
hold manufactures, the proa.ets Of The dairy and Of
the poultry yard, preserve. domestic wines, eoRjec-
lions, and, above all things, to come themselves
rcthout ,con,an and The beautiful Celebrations Of her
aste and genius. no display can be perfect.
To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implements
md Tools, We would say. that interest and patri-
prety Of making grand exhibition of your ma
chinery of all kinds, as from our present sdnps,
we are led to believe that the assemblage OF farm
srs and planters, and Of distinguished strangers
from most oil the States OF the Union, will be
greater than upon any former occasion here or
elsewhere. We therefore say to the agricultural
Implement makers aud Mechanics the United States
make it a matter of pride TO display your machi-
merry at our exhibition, and vie with each other IN
having the best and largest assortment on the
ground. Such ambition is audable-is worthy OF
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.

TNHE public will be gratifed to learn that the
| United States Mail Steamship Company are IN.
abled TO announce that their arrangements nre now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts Of this Company to meet
the wants Of travel to. California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with Their
ships from New York to Chagres, they were pre-.
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation Of the great
number then DESTROYS 10 90 out, TO sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from desire TO accommodate those who could
procure passages in no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the preya.
lence Of fever ut Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-.
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated and caused detention at the 18th.
mus, which was increased by the Impotence oil
passengers in going forward, against the advice
Of the Company, at an earlier day than the shr
could possibly reach Panama.
These Interruptions are now all removed
Three Of the four ships OF the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several Of them have performed trips TO San
Francisco and back. So that the Company are
now able to give the public the assurance that the
voyage through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des.
patch
Their Pacific Line, from Panama TO San Fran
cisco, consists Of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. HUDsos.

FALCON, Copt. HARTsTEN, U. s. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, that no delay
beyond the usual stey of the ship in port at Pana-
ma, will arise.
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations Of their New York and Chagres

ships Of their Pacific Line offer the most certain,
rapid and pleasant throug, passage 70 California.
