IL Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recently offered
TO the public is attracting great attention. not only
by of the very satisfactory testimonials TO
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by it, but also because
there great number of people who are af-
Aicted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. Dr.
Eastman, who discovered the efficacy Of his orem-
'edyo is physician in this city, in high standing,
great confidence is placed; and we do not wonder
that his remedy for very common disease, which
has been so long needed has attractedthe attention
OF all sufferers from headache who have heard of il.
From our own knowledge OF DR.. Eastman's char
acer and practice, we have no doubt that the med
icne deserves the favor it receives and that it will
prove to be great benefit to all who may give il
a trial.-Lynn Ne1cs, December 90, 1853.

House of RepresentatIyes.

Mr.. FULLER, from the Committee on Com
merce, reported joint resolution authorizing the
President OF the United States give the requisite
notice for terminating the reciprocity treaties OF
commerce and navigation in cases where the
terms stipulated for their continuance have ex-
pred with such Powers and States as, in his
opinion, manifest illiberality in their commercial
intercourse with the United States.
Mr. HAVEN had nothing TO say but that the
joint resolution ought to be passed, 10 get rid OF
some OnerOus impostOns on our commerce
abroad.
The resolution was passed.
Several reports were made relating to terrific.
rial business, and referred
Mr.. BOYCE, at subsequent period Of the pro-
ceedings, moved reconsideration OF the vote.
Mr.. FULLER saidthat the resolution was refer
red 10 the Committee on Commerce year ago. Ii
was prepared at the State Department, and, there
fore, was in accordance with its views. The object
was to enable the President TO give notice to the
Danish Government, with which we have an exist
ing treaty, and by which our commerce and naviga-
tion in the Baltic and Elsinore are subject 10 enor-
nous Sound dues He referred the gentleman
from South Carolina othe extensive printed docu-
ments called for by resolution Of the Senate.
Uuder the language of the treaty, it is considered
that the President is not to take the n-
tatory steps without the authority of Congress.
Mr.. BAYLY expressed the hope that the motion
to reconsider would prevail. The subject was not
so very free from doubt the casual observer
might suppose anu, therefore, lie OcSireu II SnOuiu
be referred TO the Committee on Foreign Affairs,
who already have it before them. 40 G
The question having been taken, the House
refused TO reconsider the vote by which the reso-
luton was passed
Mr. HAVEN moved that the vote just taken be
reconsidered and that that motion be laid on the
table.
The question was decided in the affirmative.
Mr. LANE, of Oregon, made a personal expla
ma ton relative TO remarks heretofore submitted
with reference 10 negotiating treaties with certain
Indians in Oregon.
The House refused TO commit 10 Committee
of the Whole House the bill for the relief Of Sam
uel A. Belden 81 Co, Ito refund duties on certain
goods which were destroyed in Mexico while that
country was in the possession Of our armyD and
then rejected it-yeas 50, nays IS.
A motion was made to reconsider the vote, and

was decided in the negative--yeas IS, nays 90.

arbitrator, between the American and the Portu-
guese governments the former having made
demand upon the latter for compensation for the
loss OF the General Armstrong in the neutral port
