Mers. Cobb Livermore, Tavior, Foote, Clagget and Rhea, although not at ail differing from the other gentlemen in the correctness ot the doctrines they advanced, supported this appropriation, and just:iea the steps on the part of tc klxecutivc which had calle.d tor it; arguing that Congiiss bad required of the executive expressly to have thoe buildings repaired and rebuilt; that they had felt and expressed disatisfaction because the capital was not ia readinc5 at the Uii iUiiw

for the reception of congress; that the President consulting

the convenience and accommodation of the Legislature, and finding the appropriations not sufficient for the object, had diverted the funds to it which had been appropriated to other objects in the city, and had directed the commissioners of the public buildings to accept an adance of money which had been tendered by one ot the city banks, to make up the remaining deficiency, rel)ing on congress to make it good; that whit he had dune was in pursuance of what he deemed his duty in providing for the accommodation ot congress; and that however just the objections in the abstract, and to ordinary caes. the president was in this jutiliable, i.c. &c. The question was then taken on the parage of rhc bill, and carried without a count, and the bill was f-ent to the senate for concurrence. ADMiSolON OF MISSOURI.

DARING BURGLARIES. The gang of viliian wrJO juvc for some tiu;c infested ur city, still continue thciv depredation without dctecti on. (Jn the afternoon of S'jiuy, January 23, the store o,r h4r. J. G ou'id was entered jy making an opening thrcua iC partition wail that sepj'.ates the store from the clVtng house, which was unDccupieei at that time, and watches and jewellery to the amount cf ten thousand dollars were taken. The burglary wis discovered in the dunk cf the evening, but no traces have yet been discovered of the perpetrators of this daring villany. On Saturday the 5th instant, Mr. Nicholas llackcy had his store broken open, probably by thesamcgang. They entered through a back

window between 7 an.; bt.'iic. k iu the evening, and su. e. cl in carrying off several hundred valuable gold and silver watche r besides gold seals, keys, cc. The whole of Mr. Hackes los'j is estimated at eighteen' thousand-dollars. At 8 o'clock the some evening as Mr. II. return cd from his supper, he fomi i his store had been broken o-er ; but the most active and pers-1 vering measures have not vet produced any impc rtant Is'co, vcries. On Sunday several su. picious individuals were committed by Mr. Justice Mahar 1 for further examination; Vc understand they are to undergoan examination to-day. On 'Sunday evening the houseof Mr, Wheeler, the portrait printer, was entered, and all the clothes belonging to Mrs. Wheeler and her "sister borne off, together with sheets, table cloths and many other articles, worth several hundred dollars; and nia the same evening a quantity tit' hams, &c. were stolen from the pork-house of Mr. Joseph iVinctv i n in the active mcasu-es thac are r operation we think ththieves viil yet be dis . vei -d.
