r . quired, in consequence 01 tne continued indisposition of the counsel, (Mr. Key.) the trial of General Houston was further post poned until this day half past 11 o'clock. The bill making appropriations for the support of government, for the year 1832. was taken up. A long and ani.nated debate krose upon the proposition to concur with the Committee of tho Whole, in their disa

greement to the amendment of the Senate, sirikiiy? from the bill $9,000 for an outfit for a Minister to France. Messrs. McDuffie, Wicldiffe, E. Everett, Ingcrsoll, and Doddridge, supported the amendment proposed by the Senate, and it was opposed by Messrs. Archer, Wayne, Drayton, and Adams. The latter gentlemen called for die Yeas and Nays upon the question of concurring in the disagreement of the Commit- , tee of the Whole, to said amendment, which was ordered, and were Yeas 102, Nays 77.

So the amendment proposed by the Senate, w is rejected. Without disposing of some other amendments to the hill, adopted by the Senate, the House, at five o'clock, adjourned. May 1. In the Senate, yesterday, Mr. Smith from the Committee on Finance, to which was referred the resolution of March 30th, instructing that Committee to enquire into the expediency of abolishing the ofliccs of the 2d Auditor and the 3d Comptroller,

made a report thereon, concluding with a motion for the discharge of the Committee from the further consideration of the subject.

At an early hour, the Senate proceeded to

the consideration of Executive business, m which they were engaged till the adjournment. In the House of Representatives, after the presentation of petitions and memorials, Gen. Houston was again conducted to the bar of the House by the Sergeant-at-Arms. In consequence of the continued indisposition of Mr. Key, (the counsel of the accused,) on motion of Mr. levin, further proceedings in the trial were postponed until this day, at eleven o'clock. The House resumed the consideration of the general appropriation bill, and the amendments of the i

Senate thereto, which were severally dispos- j

ed of either by concurrence, further amendment, or disagreement. BANK OF THE UNITED STATES. Mr. Clayton, from the Committee appointed to examine the proceedings of the Bank of the United States, made a detailed report, accompanied with a mass of documents which he moved, without reading, be referred to a Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, and printed. Mr. McDuffie rose and explained at length upon some of the facts which, he said, were staled in the report, in order to obviate the unfavorable effect they might produce if not understood. He was followed by Mr. Clayton in reply, and in vindication of the report, which, he siid, was principally a

statement of facts, and not of opinions, or inferences. Mr. Adams remarked that he did not know whether there was a single sentence in the report in which he concurred, believing, as he did, that the Committee had transcended the power given them by the resolution under which they acted that the report had been very recently drawn up, and that he should take an early occasion to present some views on the subject, in the form of a report of the minority of the Committee. Mr. Cambreleng defended the course of the Committee, and went into some detailed statements showing the propriety of the course the Committee adopted. After Mr. McDuffie had made a further explanation, Mr. Wayne moved to postpone the subject to Monday next, to give the minority of the Committee an opportunity of presenting their report which was negatived. Mr. Wickliffe made some brief observations upon the statement of Mr. Cambreleng, relative to deferring the redemption

of the 3 per cent, stock. After some remarks by Messrs. Thomas, of Mary land, and Johnson, of Kentucky, in defence of the report, and by Mr. Watmough respecting a report from the minority of the Committee, the motion of Mr. Clayton was carried. The report itself not having been read, nor in any other way laid before the public, it would be difficult at this time to render either the criticism or the defence of it, which occupied nearly the whole day's sitting, intelligible to ourselves or to our readers. Mr. Clay moved a suspension of the rule, for the purpose of moving that 10,000 additional copies of the report be printed. This motion was lost, yeas 80, nays 84 two diirds being required. The House then adjourned.

On Monday last an inquest was held over the body of a man found dead in the Ohio river, near Aurora, below this place. It was supposed it had been in the water 10 or 11 days, and was considerably mutilated. No papers or other evidence were found by which to ascertain the name of the deceased. The body was of the middle size, and the clothing a blue cloth coat and linsey

The Ohio river has been falling for some days, but is still 15 or 20 feet above low wa

ter mark, and high enough to admit steam boats to pass over the falls. Gen. Samuel Milroy, one of the delegates appointed by the convention at Indianapolis, passed through this place on Wednesday last, on his way to Baltimore to attend the convention on the 21st inst.

and substituting Mr. Webster's, providing for fractions, the number of members will hereafter be 251, should the lower house concur in the amendment, which we hope and believe it will not. We think the Senate in arrogating to itself the right to fix a new principle of apportionment, and say how many members each state shall have, has attempted to usurp a prerogative not properly belonging to it. This duty belong to the immediate representatives of the people. The following is the vote on the iMsafl"

of the great river, that gives to that city its importance, will ere long pass to the ocean a long way to the west, and leave its present channel to fill up with sand and water willows. The only alternative left to the citizens of New Orleans, is eidier to resist the injustice in the spirit of nullification by force; or, more mildly, to apply to the Supreme Court for a writ of injunction.

Our readers will have seen in our brief sketch of the Congressional proceedings of Wednesday, that Mr. Stanberry rose in the House and said, "That he pledged himelf to prove nil he asserted relative to this fraud. He said he was fully aware of the danger of m iking such statements, and of the threats that had been expressed by the Executive against all who enquired into these abuses; but he was willing to bare his bosom to assassination." Upon making this declaration, Mr. Bates thr. : interrogated Mr. Stanberry: "Does the gentleman intend to say that the President of the United States has threatened any - member of this House on account of his actions here?" To this, Mr. Stanberry replied 4'1 DO, AND AM READY TO PROVE IT." Now we assert the charge made by Mr. Stanberry, to be a malignant falsehood; and we call upon him to produce the proof which he has proifered. So far from usino tliicats to prevent enquiry into the subject

uThc bottom out of the Well." Among the many strange occurrences of the year, the following, which comes to us well authenticated, is not the least singular. During the extreme high water in February, a family residing in the lower part of "the town of Rising Sun, in this county, heard a strange and unusual noise in the vicinity of their house, which, upon examination, was found to be occasioned by the pouring of the river water into the well with suclf vio

lence as to produce a loud rumbling noise like distant thunder. The water from the river covered the level of the mouth of the well 12 or 18 inches, but the aperture at the bottom seemed to displace it much faster than it could enter, and by leaving a vacuum produced the roaring noise. The water continued to pass off in this manner

until the Ohio sunk below the surface of

the well, when the fissure or hole at which the water escaped, was discovered to be near or quite at the bottom, on the side opposite to the river. The well is situate about 200 yards from the river, is very deep, and up to the time spoken of always yielded a plentiful supply of water, but since it has afforded none. Having settled a doubtful question, and shown conclusively that the bottoms of wells are not so permanent as some would imagine, we leave further speculations on this new phenomenon to the curious.

We have been favored by Messrs. Shaw and Protzman of this place, with the New Orleans Price Current of April 21, from which we make the following extracts. Bacon lb. 7, hog round 5; Butter lb. 12 to 23; Beans bbl. $1 to 4 50; CoiTee lb 12 to 1 1; Corn in ears, bbl. $1, in sacks, bushel, 50 cts.; Fish, mackerel, bbl. No. 1

Claifs policy be adopted, it would be ruinous indeed, to the new states of the w-est, as it would at once check the tide of emigration to those states, &, dampen the hopes of thousands of our poor citizens from ever becoming the owners of a small freehold estate on which to raise their families. And this is not all for the moment the old states become directly and individually interested, all further surveys of the public lands will be stopped, and a refusal further to extinguish the Indian title to the

lands in the new states, until all the lands which are now surveyed shall be sold; and then, new surveys will be ordered, and land districts established, and the land sold at perhaps five dollars per acre! This has been already declared by some of the lead

ing members oi Congress from the old states. If the bill to reduce and graduate the price of the refuse lands, fails to become a law, its failure must be attributed to II. Clay, the "National Republican" Candidate for the presidency. Your obediant servant, R. BOON.

A letter to the Editor, dated at Washington, the 18th inst. says, "The Senate, I presume, will engraft on the Apportionment Bill, an amendment, recognizing the fraction principle ; which the House, I hope and believe, will reject. What will then be its fate, may not be positively predicted. Probably no bill will pass at this session. If the bill shall fail, I shall not be surprised if New York should manifest some sensibility on the subject. If she had not been in the Union, the old method which was so maturely considered by the Congress of 1702, and Gen. Washington, would not have been attc n ned to be departed from. The effect, however, of a refusal to pas3 the bill at this session, will be equally a denial of justice to Ohio, and most of the Western States in the next electoral College. They will scarcely forget those who push a principle, not wariie constitution, to such an extent,
