Mr. Tipton presented resolutions of the Legislature of Indiana, asking an appropriation by Congress for the improvement of the Wabash river; which was referred to tho Committee on roadi and Canals. On motion of Mr. Titton: Resolved, That the Committee on Public Lands be directed to inquire into the expediency of authorising the Secretary of the Treasury to correct an erroneous entry of the numbers of three sections of the lands granted to aid the State of Indiana in constructing a road from the Ohio river to Lake Michigan. Feb. 22. Mr. Tipton, from tho Committee of Claims, reported a bill for the relief of James Taylorwhich was read and on motion of Mr. TirTos, the report was ordered to be printed. Feb. 27.

Also, another resolution of the same Legislature, of a smilar character of that first presented, on the subject of compensation for loss of horses; which had the same reference as the former. Feb. 28. Mr. Tipton presented a memorial of the Legislative Council of Michigan, praying that Congress would take measures to enable the inhabitants of that Territory to form a Constitution, preparatory to their admission into the Union upon the footinof a sovereign State. The memorial was
referred to the Select Committee upon that subject. Mr. TirTON presented the joint resolutions of the General Assembly of Indiana, expressive of the wish of that Legislature that a law might be passed graduating and reducing the price of public lands; which Mr. Tipton moved to refer to the Committee on Public Lands, but, on the suggestion of Mr. Poindexter, chairman of that committee, they were laid upon the table. Mr Tipton from the Committee on Indian Affairs reported a bill for the relief of James Pye;
which was read, and ordered to a second reading.

Mr. Ewing of Indiana submitted the following which, when the bill to reduce and graduate the
price of the public lands shall be takenup for con-
eideration, he will move as an AMENDMENT
A hill to graduate the price and to appropriate the
nett proceeds of the public lands within the Ter ritories, and for other purposes. Be it enacted, c. That, from and after the thir
ty-first day of December, in the year of our Lortl
eighteen hundred and thirty-two, the nett proceeds
oi all the public lands within the 1 erritories, wherever situated, which shall be sold subsequent to the said ! thirty-first day of December, shall be divided among ! the twenty-four States of the Union, according to their respective federal representative population, as ascertained by the last census, to be applied by the Legislatures of said States to objects of education, internal improvement, colonization of free persons of color or reimbursement of any existing debt contracted for internal improvements, as the said Legislatures may severally designate and authorize. Sec. 2. That from and after the said thirty-first day of December, the nett proceeds of the public lands within the States shall be paid to the States respectively in which such lands may lie, at the . Treasury of the United States, half-yearly, to such
person or persons as the respective Legislatures of
the eaid States may authorize and direct. Sec. 3. That this act shall continue and be in force for the term of five years from the said thirty"first day of December, unless the United States thall become involved in war with any foreign Power; in which event, from the commencement of hostilities, this distribution of sales of territorial lands hall cease and be no longer in force. Sec. 4. That from and after the passage of this act, all the lands of the United States which have been offered at public sale to the highest bidder, and have remained unsold fifteen years and up to twentyfive years, shall be subject to sale by private entry, at fifty cents per acre, and those which have been offered in like manner, and have remained unsold twenty-five years at 25 cents per acre. Sec. 5. That all the lands of the United States which may hereafter be offered at public sale to the highest bidder, and shall remain unsold fifteen years and up to twenty-five years, shall be subject to sale by private entry, at fifty cents per acre, and those
which shall be offered in like manner, at public sale, and shall remain unsold twenty-five years, at twenty-five cents per acre; and for all lands which shall not have been fifteen years in market, the minimum price shall remain as heretofore. Sec. C. That all actual settlers upon any lands
of the United States at the time of any reduction of
price, provided tor in this act, shall have the right of pre-emption for the term of six months from and
afr the time of such reduction, to any quantity not exceeding one hundred and sixty acres, in contiguous legal subdivisions, to include his or her improvement, under like regulations and restrictions with those provided by an act entitled "an act to grant pre-emption rightg to settlors on the public lands," approved on the twenty-ninth of May, eighteen hundred and thirty. J SECA ,7hKt 'Yer, for two successive years, it shall appear to the rc
.ury that the nett proceeds of the sales of the public lands within any land district now established, or which may hereafter be established by law, shall not be sufficient to discharge the salaries of the officers employed by the United States within such district he may discontinue such offices, and the lands con
United States in said States, rcspectivelv, shall
have been surveyed and offered at public sale according to existing laws. Feb. 24. A motion being under discussion, in the house of Representatives, to print a memorial presented by Mr. Muhlenberg, from l30 citizens of Berks county, Pa. disapproving of the removal of the deposites, Mr. Lane remarked, he believed that the statements they had heard, that these memorials about distress were got up by tho Bank, were justly founded. They had been known to originate almost at the doors of the Bank, and only from those places directly under its influence. There was no voice of distress from Indiana, Illinois or Missouri. Mr. Ewino of Ind. corroborated tho statement that there was no distress felt in Indiana; and he maintained that there was ageneral feeling that the people should have some benefit from the profits derived by an institution which properly belonged to themselves. As other memorials had been printed ho would vote for the printing of this, in both German and English. Mr. Crockett rose and said: Sir, as I am the only person from Tennessee in this House who am opposed to the administration, I hope I may get a few words in; that I may say what aro my own notions on these matters. Sir, I think tho member from New York (Mr. Turrill) who has just spoke has been a little testy in his objections; ho talks much about this, as if it was a great matter. Sir, arc we to stick at such trifles as a few dollars in the printing a matter so important. It seems sir, to mo to be something like loading a twenty-four pounder to shoot a flea. Sir, is it not so? We are spending 3 or 40G0 dollars in discussing the printing of a matter that perhaps after all will not be 20 cost. But, sir, this is retrenchment; but it is the old rule for retrenching. I love, sir, to see the petitioners come here, and my life on it, sir, they will come; aye, and from Indiana, for all that we hear to the contrary; and yet from my own State, every day my letters tell me they wish this question settled. They know very well in my district the characterof the man, who, when he takes any thing into
his head, will carry it into effect.' '1 hey know how
I should act in this Bank business, for I told them before I was elected, how I should vote that I would rccharter the Bank, and restore the depos
ites. bir I set letters every day from all parts.
which tell mc these acts are disapprobated. The
question 13 now whether we shall be under the
old and happy stato of things, or have a despot.
Sir, the people have a ngnt to tell their grievances,
and sir, I tell you they must not be refused I can't
stand it no longer I won't.
Mr. Ashly said that tho want of a Bank of the
United States was felt and acknowledged through
out Missouri, to correct the evils'that existed in the
bad paper currency; but ho believed that thisslatc
of things would be soon altered. Kir. Lane made some explanations in reply to his colleague (Mr. Ewing ) The question was then taken on tho motion to print the names signed to the memorial and decided in the aflinnalivo; yeas 112, noes 10.
98, giving a majority in favor of the roferenco of 32. This may be considered decisive of these two points that the deposites will not be returned, nor tho bank rechartcred during this Session. There are several vacancies which may be filled by opposition members, but the result will not be changed. There will be between fifteen and twenty in support of the removal and against the re-charter of the Bank, whenever)7 member is in his seat. That the question has been taken should be gratifying to all; for it has been the declaration from all sides that the hope of the country depended more upon tho speedy settlement of the question, than the way it might be decided. Discussion will doubtless arise again upon the bringing in of the report; but for all political purposes the question may now be considered as settled for this Session for this Congress. The "Goths? to use a favorite word of Mr. Clay, have not possession of the House of Representatives. Tho Star spangled banner under which our revolutionary fathers triumphed, still proudly floats in the breeze over its dome. A resolution has been adopted, after considerable discussion, calling on tho President for certain information relative to the difficulties in Alabama which by tho way appear already settled to the
entire satisiacuon ot me gcrvi Estate governments.
You know tho universal practice here, is to take houses on the first of February for the ensuing year, and it i3 then that tho rents are agreed upon. So far from being less than tho last year, they have risen on tho average considerably. To-day, I passed along William street, and saw them pulling down excellent houses, and in which, some years ago, the first men in the city would not have been ashamed to live. In a couple of months great five and six storied houses will take their place. In all the business parts of tho city you may sec tho same thing going on. Yet if you listen to certain newspapers, and their deputations to Washington, the city is in ruins. They are, however, the ruins of buildings pulled down to give placo to better ones. There arc other symptoms of terrible scat city, and universal dismay. Four or five theatres and an opera house, open, some five, others three nights in a week. Four or five public balls, a fancy ball among tho rest, advertised in the same papers that proclaim this universal ruin; besides an infinite number of places continually open for the spending of our superfluous cash. Docs not all this speak a moro decisive language than tho clamors of politicians, or tho exaggerations of party newspapers?

is i reuerick Williams, and he has boarded in Es-!

bout 18 months since, while in Jamaica, he was
ono day drinking water from a spring, at the bottom of which he observed several small hair snakes of
the length of one or two inches and from a kind
of tickling in his throat at tho time, he concluded
that he must have swallowed one of them. He immediately applied to a physician, who administered to him an emetic and he borrowed no more trouble about it. In about six months ho began to feel (as he expressed it himself,) "a kind of crawling on his stomach" and in a few days moro the lower part, or pit of his stomach began to project out. His appetite became so exceedingly keen that ho was forced to eat hearty food four or five times a day. He continued in this state for several weeks, when the occurrence at the spring in Jamaica came to h'13 mind accompanied with the horrible conviction that he was carrying in his stomach a loathsome reptile. The protuberance on his chest continued to increase iu size, and he
was frequently choked for breath by tho reptile attempting to crawl out of his throat, which sensation threw the miserable man into convulsive fils rvm nnmA i t n-1

l ne Dcnaie during tne past week tins been occupied principally in discussing Mr. Clay's resolutions relative to tho deposites. Several memorials have been presented which produced lengthened and animated debate. These desultorv debates
which arise on incidental occasions, such as tho presentation of a memorial, for or against the removal of tho deposites, aro more animated and piquant than formal set speeches. Tho presentation of memorials, from North Carolina, and from Maine, which have a Senator a picco on each side, have in the cour30 of the debates commenced between tho two opposing Senators, brought into
at v J O the debate one after tho other tho best speaking1 talents of that body. These occasions have elici
ted the most lacerating wit, bitter sarcasm, and pointed irony ; and occasionally tho loftiest and most impassioned eloquence. An event of a novel character took place in the Senate on this morning; the second of the kind which has ever occurred in that body. Tho resignation of Mr. Rives, of Va. Mr. Rives, has always supported the measures of this administration; and during the present session has made one of the ablest speeches, which has been delivered in defence of the removal of tho deposites. On Friday ho received instructions from tho legislature of Va. to vote for their restoration. Feeling conscious that the interests of his country demanded that he should not do so, but still more unwilling to disobey the instructions of his state, he came into the Senate this morning and presented his resigna
tion, stating at tho same time in a very emphatic
and appropriate address his reasons and motives
for doing so. 1 he sccno was interesting, imposing. And to the conduct of several members of the Senate, must havo inflicted tho keenest rebuke. Six opposition Senators were present who had some time previous received from their respective legislatures instructions to sustain tho Secretary in his removal of the deposites, but who disregarding their pointed instructions, were holding on to their offices and using all their eftbrts against their instructions.
Mr. Adams, during the embargo, was the first

A plan was then hit upon to pull the snake from the mouth, lie partook of no food for two or three days, and the movements of the snako were constantly watched by tho physician. Towards night, the third day, the almost distracted man informed the physician and his friends in attendance that, from tho feeling in his stomach and throat, he judged tho snake was attempting to crawl out. He immediately went into a convulsive fit,
was placed on a bed, and his mouth pried open

Tho friend who stood by now seized the reptile with his hind and suddenly drew it from its den, in which it had grown to its present almost incredible size. It was immediately killed, and we understand has been preserved by the doctor as a wonderful curiosity. It measured four feet and five inches in length is nearly of a bigness from head to tail; and is of a jet black color. Williams was with great difficulty restored, and was removed to tho hospital, where is now doing well. We hope the case of this man may serve as a warning to any person who shall have occasion to slake Ids thirst from brooks and springs cn marshy ground. A recent London Medical work gives an account of a man suffering in this manner from having a live Uzzard in his stomach for moro than two years and who at length died inconsequence of tho convulsive fits into which ho was thrown by the reptile attempting to crawl out of his throat.

confidently anticipate the final location of the whole line in Ohio, and the putting under contract, by October next, of a division around the Hapids of the Maumec. This, with the vigorous prosecution of tho work, which the late enlightened legislature of Indiana has provided for, will establish a just confidence in the completion of the entire lino of of this important national public work in the course of another live years.
You will agree with mo that this is a result devoutly to be hoped for. I feel well assured that a generous and enlightened co-operation between the citizens of the two states mny accomplish it. It is with much satisfaction I have observed that your Legislature has provided for a survey of a l ine of canal in the valley of tho White water. There is no valley in our country that presents a more inviting line for the construction of a canal, nor one better supplied with water. The character of the country through which it passes gives the strongest assurance that a canal through it would te eminent
ly useful, and finally productive of revenue. The distinguished success of our Miami canal in the past year must be held to be conclusive evidence of the safety of this opinion. I am, Hir, very truly, your friend.

that my friends should, lor a moment give any rort ofcredit to the rumor that I am going into tho cabinet." There is imt, my dear sir, tho blihtot foundation for this rumor; and 1 beg you to bo assured and to assuro all mv friends, that no e irthU' considerations would induce me, t-tanding in the position 1 now do, to take un Executive appointment. Whatever other denunciations may be poured out against mc, no nispieion shall rest upon tho purity of my motives in the course which, from the deepest conviction, 1 have pursued here. I chall throw myself fearlessly upon the Pi oj.U of Virginia to un taiu and vindicate the principles I have contended for in their name. 1 go tit once into jr'ni'.e life, to co-op-crate nevertheless, to the best of my ability, in th maintenance of tho principles which havo heretofore been cherished by Virginia, and with tho dirtinct understanding, t hat 1 invoke the judgment of tlu people upon my conduct in the coining election.

plete compromise of personal honor. This, I bhall make apparent, in a letter of resignation, which I shall address to-morrow to the speakers, to Le laid before the (ieneral Assembly. 1 feel the most perfect conviction that you and all my friends will approve my conduct, when you heo tho whole ground, lly the bye, the resolutions of tho Legihluture wero not received from the Cevcrnor till to-diy.

prices of stocks, and has fallen with them. He was a picco of paper, which a breath can blow away, or a spark extinguish.
