In the Senate, yesterday, the bill to give effect to the commercial arrangement, concluded with the government of Colombia, was ordered to a third reading. Much private business was disposed of. The Post OiFice bill was taken up. the question being on ordering th; biii to be read a third time. Mr. BiTm renewed his motion to amend bill by adding a clause, abolishing postage on newspapers from and after the 31st day of July next. The question being taken, it was decided in the negative, as follows: YEAS Messrs. Bell, Bibb. Clay, Ewing, Foot, Frelinghuysen, Hayne, Holmes, Johnston, Knight, Miller, Moore, Naudain, Poindexter, Prentiss, Robbins, Ruggles, Seymour, Silsbce, Sprague, Tomlinson, Waggaman. 22. NAYS Messrs. Benton, Brown, Buckner, Dallas, Dickerson, Dudley, Ellis, ForFVth, Grundy, Hendricks, Hill, Kane, King, Mangum, Marcy, Robinson, Smith, TazewelCTipton, Troup, Tyler, White, Wilkins 2'i. The bill was then ordered to a third reading. The Pension Bill was taken up, the question being on the motion to recommit the bill with instructions to amend it so as to provide for those officers and soldiers who fought in the Indian wars, prior to the year 1795. Messrs. Foot, Holmes, and Clay spoke against the motion and in favor of the bill, and Mr. Brown spoke briefly in opposi tion to the bill. The Senate, on motion of Mr. Holmes, adjourned to Monday, by a vote of 22 to 10. In the House of Representatives, Mr. Doddridge, moved the further postponement of the motion to reconsider the vote tipon the bill in favor of taking a part of the stock of the Alexandria Canal Company, until Tuesday next, which was agreed to. BANK OF THE UNITED STATES. Mr. McDuffie, in beLdfof the minority of the Committee upon the United States Bank, offered a counter report, which he moved might be laid on the table and printed. Air. Camereleng hoped the gentleman from South Carolina Mr. McDuffie would withdraw his motion to lay the Report upon the table which being done, Mr. C. enquired whether the answers of the President of the Bank, to the questions submitted by him, were appended to the Report? Mr. McDuffie replied, they were. Mr. Camlbreleng said he would submit a remark in relation to these answers. In consequence of their character, iie should be obliged to submit other questions to the President of the Bank He had hoped that these examinations would have been made in Philadelphia when he could have examined the President orally and prevented the necessity of any further enquiries He had, however, waived the advantage of a personal examination and left the questions with the President of the Bank, to be answered at his leisure. In taking such a course, he had not supposed that any advantage would be taken by the President of the Bank of the United States that he would deny, without explanation, many statements founded on the monthly returns, annually transmitted to the Treasury and that by putting his own construction upon questions, or by misapprehending them, he would answer enquiries which had never been submitted, apparently for the purpose of making them appear ridiculous. He only rose for the purpose of stating his intention to submit other questions to the President of the Bank, growing out of his answers, which he should hereafter present to the House. Mr. McDuffie said he had attentively read the answers, and they appeared to be full replies to the questions propounded. If any mistake or misapprehension had occurred, it was, most probably, on the part of the gentleman from New-York. Mr. Cambreleng said in reply, that, if the gentleman from South Carolina would take the trouble to examine the questions and answers with him, he thought he could satisfy him that many of the questions had not been answered that statements were denied which were founded on documents received from the Bank annually and that the President of the Bank had whether from misconstruction or not, answered questions which it certainly never was his intention to submit to him or to any one else. In answering the questions too, a spirit somewhat tart had been displayed, which he had not anticipated, on such an occasion, and par ticularly from the President of the Bank of the United States, on subjects so seriously Directing the public interest. Mr. McDuffie said, as the interrogatories and the replies would be printed at length, the members of the House would be able to judge, for themselves, whether the answers were fairly given. He would move to refer the papers to the Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, to which the subject was referred which was agreed to. Mr. Adams said, in consequence of his peculiar situation upon the Committee, he had found himself obliged to draw up his own '.views of the investigation which he hoped to be able to present to the House onMondav. jIr, Clayton enquired whether it would

be now in order to move the printing of an extra number of Loth reports? The Speaker suggested that, as the report of the gentleman from Massachusetts would probably be presented on Monday, the motion had better be deferred to which Mr. Clayton assented. The Houston case was then taken up, and decided, as reported underrate of the 14th. May 14. Neither House of Congress sat on Saturday. On Friday night the case of Gen. Houston, which was before the House of Representatives when our paper went to press, was not disposed of till nearly eleven

o'clock. After Mr. Kerr concluded his i speech, Mr. Dickson took the floor, in support of the amendment, and addressed the House at length. When he had concluded a call of the House was ordered 193 members answered to their names. The question was then taken on Mr. Huntingdon's amendment, declaring Gen. Houston guilty of a contempt and breach of privilege, which was carried ayes 100, nays 89. Mr. Clay then moved tlje follow ing"rcsolution: Resolved, That it is inexpedient to proceed further in the case of Samuel Houston, and that he be discharged from the custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms. Mr. C. said, quite time enough had been already spent in the discussion, and ho would not detain the House by any remarks upon the propriety of the resolution. Mr. Huntingdon moved the following amendment strike out all after the word resolved and insert That Samuel Houston be brought to the bar of the House, on Monday next, at 12 o'clock, and be there reprimanded by the Sfeaker, for the contempt and violation of the privileges of the House, of which he has been guilty; and thatjhe be then discharged from the custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms. Resolved, That Samuel Houston be excluded from the exercise of the privilege conferred by the 13th standing rule of the House. Whereupon Mr. Da vis,'of South Carolina, rose to enquire of the Chair whether the second resolution was in order under the rules of the House? The Speaker decided that the second resolution was not in order, under the 13th and 105th rules of the House. By the 13th rule, every individual who has been a mem ber of either branch of the legislature, has the right of admission to the privileged seats within the Hall. This is one of the standing rules of the House. By the 105th rule, it is declared that no standing rule or order of the House shall be rescinded or changed without one day's notice being given therefor. The Chair regarded the second resolution, of the gentleman from Connecticut, (Mr. Huntingdon,) as effectually changing this 13th rule, to which it expressly refers in terms. It is therefore a proposition to change a standing rulo and order of the House, under cover of an amendment, without one day's notice, and in direct violation of another rule of the House. The 105th rule expressly forbids its being done. The resolution, therefore, in the opinion of the Chair, is not in order without one day's notice. From this decision Mr. Mercer appealed, and the decision of the Chair was reversed. So the amendment was decided by the House to be in order. Mr. Lamar called for a division of the question. The question was stated upon the first member of the amendment directing Gen. Houston to be reprimanded and discharged. Mr. Archer thought the majority of the House, who had solemnly asserted the power of unlimited punishment, were now creeping out from the consequences of that decision. The penalty proposed might be proper for an idle school boy but, in this case, it was altogether childish. He hoped gentlemen would now show firmness enough to impose imprisonment, at least, upon the accused, in order that the question of power could bo brought before a Court of Justice. Mr. Huntingdon said, the gentleman from Virginia could move an amendment imposing imprisonment, if he thought proper. The two resolutions together, expressed the strongest censure he could conceive of, on the part of the House. Mr. W. Thompson said, after so much time as had been spent in the affair, gentlemen ought not to shrink from the responsibility of playing the game out. The offence charged against the accused, had been characterized as of the most flagitious nature. If such was the fact, after assuming the power of punishment, the dignity of the House required some infliction. These resolutions inflicted no punishment whatever, and only turned the whole course of proceeding into ridicule. The question was then taken on the first member of the amendment, and was carriedYeas 106, Nays S9. The question on the second member of of the amendment was then stated as follows : Resolved, That Samuel Houston be excluded from exercise of the privilege conferred by the 13th standing rule of the House. Mr. Carson hoped this branch of the amendment would not be adopted. General Houston had been a member of this House. His conduct in this affair had not been dishonorable, or such as in any way, rendered him unworthy the" society of gentlemen. Mr. Huntingdon considered tiiis branch of the amendment as consequent upon that already adopted. It was the practical enforcement of the privileges of the House against the person who' had been guilty of a contempt of the House. Mr. Cambeiuxng said, the utmost the

j House could do, was to imprison, during the

remainder of the session. He would prefer that, to fixing this punishment, during life, upon an individual who had served his country with credit both in the field and on this floor. Mr. Coke replied to Mr. Camberleng. The accused enjoyed this right only under the rule of the House. He was not disposed to permit the person who had been sol emnly adjudged juilty of a contempt of the House, to walk into this Hall a privilege denied the mass of our fellow citizens. Mr. Craig could perceive no beneficial result from this part of the amendment, and should vote against it. Mr. Blair, of South Carolina, said, lie had voted'against the accused so far, from a a sense of duty, and at the expense of his per sonal feelings. The accused was his friend, and had conductedjiimselfin this affair, like a man of honor. He had gone thus far to sustain the power of the House, but would go no further. The amendment was further opposed by Messrs. Clayton and Burd when the question was taken and was negatived. Yeas 90, Nays 101. The question was then taken upon agreeing to the resolution as amended by the first clause above stated which was carried as follows : YEAS Messrs. Adams, C.

We have been requested to withdraw Mr. Coinaifs name from our list of candidates for sheriff. The Statesman of yesterday announces George II.

The town of Richmond, Wayne county, in this state, contains a population of 1252. The post-office bill, as it is called, has passed the Senate, with but few amendments, in which the house will no doubt concur. The bill establishes about 700 post routcsi The Cincinnati National Republican reports 22 deaths " 'hat city during the week ending the 9th inst.; 10 of which were occasioned by measles and 2 by drowning. The Madison la. Republican states that the oil mill of Mcisrs. V. and J. King, and the carding works of Messrs. King and J. C. Cottom, of that place, were entirely destroyed by fire on the night of the 14th. Loss, about 3300 dollars, The United States mail is now carried from Washington to Cincinnati in four days! It is wonderful, indeed, to see how fast Postmaster Barry is forcing the affairs of the department to destruction. In another year, at this rate of proceeding, and one end of a congressional speech will be received at home in Kentucky, before the other is out of the orators mouth. The Stanberry farce has been brought to a close. The house have found Gov, Houston guilty of a contempt and breach ofprivilege,?and sentenced him to be reprimanded by tiie speaker. Which was accordingly done and the accused discharged. On the oath of Mr. Stanbcrry, an indictment was found against Gov Houston in the district court, for an assault and battery, with an intent to kill, and the governor was again taken into custody to answer to the charge. Thus the matter, (as the Globe justly observes) is ending where it should have commenced. It iquestionable however whether, under the constitution, the accused can be put on his trial, for it would seem to be a second for the eame offence.

A vcfv fatal and obstinate dis.T.?. de- '

nominated the scarlet fever, is, and has for some weeks past been, spreading through different parts of this state and Kentucky. Wherever it has made its appearance, it has been alarmingly fatal to young persons under the age of 14 or 15. No case of the disease has yet appeared in this place, although it has been prevailing for some time nearly opposite on the Kentucky side of the river. The Statesman, in its usual polite way4 calls Col. Boon "our their pet pig in congress.'' We dont exactly understand what die Statesman would be at, unless it intends an allusion to Col. Boon's popularity at home, where we believe, he has always been able to root out even Clayite that "has opposed rather troublesome to the "friends of civil order," and are ever and anon throwing over the ladder on which they w ish to mount. The following is written much after the manner of an editorial article in yesterday's Statesman : Quite a Comfortable Erratum. A French philosopher, who had pre dieted that a comet whs going to play the duce with this dirty world of ours in the year 1S32, has giren notice that there was n trifling mistake in the matter. It is the year S7832, he meant. We feel quite obliged to him for the postponement. Camden Journal, Apportionment. Bill. The amendment offered by Mr. Webster, in the Senate, to this bill and adopted, has been disagreed to in the house, by a vote of 2 to 1. The Senate, we learn, have receded from their amendment and the bill, of course, only wants the sanction of the president to make it a law. This bill, it will be recollected, fixes the ratio at 47,700, and gives Indiana 7 representatives in the next congress ; and 9 electoral votes in November next, for president and vice-president. The Richmond la. Palladium, of the ISth, states that a coloured child, kidnapped from that place by a man by the name of Harris, has been discovered at St. Louis and brought back. The child had been taken that far by Harris, where it was sold, and the vallain made his escape with the money. W ar with the Indians! .4 renort lias reached Cincinnati of the defeat of a detachment o f about 250 mounted militia, ordered from Illinois to the aid of gen. Atkinson on the Mississippi, by a body of Sac and Fox Indians near Rock river. The detachment lost three o f its principal officers and about 50 privates. It is feared that several heel boats, ascending the Mississippi with provisions for gen. Atkinson, have been taken by the Indians and the crews murdered. Another Breach! A man by the name of Jieara lately maac an attack on I . I).

The ballpas&cd through his coat slcavc and slightly cut th e fesh . Mr. A. then closed in on II. and cut him right and left dreadfully over the face and head u ith a sword cane, and was in the act of thrusting uinrvugn nis uouy,icncnnis arm icas arrested by a person coming tip at the moment. Heard has been indicted in the district court, and Mr. Arnold refuses, we learn, to ask the house to resent the insult offered to him. The Season. The weather for some time past, has been cloudy, cool and dry, and very unfavorable to the growth of regefation. A great portion oj the corn planted has perished in the ground, and that which came up, groirs but little. Should the season change and become favorable, a moderate crop of corn may yet be raised in this jwrt of the state; but back, omng to the scarcity of good seed, tec fear the crop will fall far short of the home demand. This unfavorable state of the weather, has altogether revolutionized public opinion as to the comet; instead of a lage body of fire it is now gen erally conceded that it must be composed of ice, through which the rays oj the sun pass to a focal point, indicating a tail.
