J. SPENCER, D. V. CULLEY, CO. Editors and Proprietors. CONGRESS, in the Senate on Saturday, the bill p.uti crizing a subscription for stock in ! j Louisville and Portland Canal Comr : ; was read a third time, and pasted. The bill making further provision for the! ex'Ji'uishmcnt of the debt due lor puoli !. ..ids, and two private bills, were also passed. The bill from the House of Representatives, making appropriations for the Panama .Mission was received, and, on motion cf 3Jr. JVoblc, read a se - cond time, and referred. A bill was re - ported by Jtfr. Harrison, for the ercc - tion of an Arscnol at bl. Louis. A re Solution was submitted by Mr. Blrrii:x, relative to the expediency oi making fur ic expediency oi making furm for the friends and followal H illiam M'Intosii. The ther provision crs of Gcner Senate then resumed the consideration of Mr. Branch's resolution, and after fome conversation, Mr. Chambers of Maryland, spoke against the resolution until the hour of adjournment. In the House of Representatives, on Saturday, Mr Owen, of Alabama, introduced a resolution to recommit the report which was published in our Journal i few days ago, to that Committee with instructions to report the evidence in the case, and to reverse the principle which declares that the Government is riot res ponsible for the los or destruction of the particular character of property to which it refers. The resolution was ordered to be laid on the table, and printed. A few words passed on the subject of the report of the Committee, which sanctions the principle that the Government of the United States can put arms into the hands of slaves for the defence of the country, without becoming responsible for their loss or destruction. It is probable that a warm discussion will take place, whenever this resolution shall again be called up, as there appears to be a strong feeling amongst the Southern members on the subject. Mr. YVickliffe of Kentucky, offered a resolution expressive of the opinion of the House, that in rejecting the resolu tion as to the expediency of the mission at Panama, as amended by Mr. M'Lane it did not surrender the principle of that nmenumeni; our, on me motion 01 iur. M'Duffie, he withdrew the resolution before any discussion or decision could take place. During the brief discus-ion which took pl ace on Friday, when the Panama Ap"proprMtiou Bill was under consideration it was stated that when Commissioners were appointed to go to Ghent, the Pres ident transmitted to our Minister at St. Petersburg the money usually given for a full outfit. This was transmitted from the contingent fund at the disposal of the President, and when this sum was Subsequently cut down by the decision of the House to 84,500, (instead of 9,000) the Attorney General decided that the Minister wa3 not bound to refund the surplus. On Saturday, in reference to thU matter, Mr. Floyd, of Virginia, introduced a resolution requesting the President to communicate any opinion of the Attorney General respecting the right of a foreign ministers to retain money which had been advanced to him by the President as an outfit, beyond the sum appropriated by law The bill making appropriation for the mission to Panama w as finally passed by a vote of 134 to GO, after some very brief remarks against it by Messrs.

Two hundred witnesses are to be heard, and the inqui ries have already commenced.
