Several bills were read the secocd lime and referred; and the resolutions submitted on the day before by Messrs Noble, Foot and King, were considered and adopted. A bill authorising a subscription to the stock of the Washington Turnpike Company, was made the order of the day for Monday, the 11th proximo; and the bill granting pre-emption rights to settlers on the Public Lands, was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading. Mr. Webster appeared to-day and took his seat In the House of Representatives, various petitions of individuals, and reports from Committees were submitted and referred ac
cording to the usual mode. Mr. M'Duflie,
from the committee of Ways and Means, re
ported a bill making appropriations for cer
tain arrearages accruing in the Naval Service
for the year 1829, which passed through the customary stages, and was referred to a Committee of the whole on the state of the Union.
The question of the proposed distribution of
the Public Lands was next taken up, and Mr. Test, of Indiana, again addressed the House
upon the subject He was follpwed by Mr
Blair, of South Carolina, who declared him
self opposed to the measure until after the
payment of the public debt Mr. Barringer
presented a resolution on the subject of
the appointment ol the subordinate Clerks in the House, after which the joint resolution
allowing the use of the books of the Congress Library to various public functionaries was read a third time and passed. Other private
business was transacted ; until the special or der of the day for the consideration of the pe tition of Thomas D. Arnold against the re
turn of the Hon Pryor Lea, as a member of this House from the state of Tennessee, was called up. Mr. Arnold, in pursuance of the resolution passed on Tuesday, appeared upon the floor in support of his petition, and the House went into a committee, Mr. M'Duflie in the chair, upon the subject. The report of the committee on elections being read, Mr. Arnold spoke in explanation of the molives which had actuated him in the presentation of his petition, and stigmatised the report of the committee upon it, as being entirely unwarranted by the facis of his case. He was called to order by the Chairman, and replied to by Mr Alston, the chairman of the committee in question. A discussion ensued, and Mr. Tucker of South Carolina, and Air. Spencer of New Yvirk, addressed
the committee. On the speaker resuming the Chair, Mr Nuckolls, who had been requested by the petitioner to submit certain resolutions, calling for the printing of the written testimony and other documents respecting his petition, presented them to the hovise, and the discussion was i cue wed. In the course of it numerous amendments were proposed by different members as to the propriety of printing some of them, (being electioneering handbills issued during the canvass by the petitioner,) which involved heavy, and as they were termed, slanderous charge against numerous individuals, some of whom moved in a private sphere of soci
ety, and others were distinguished in the
walks of public life. It will be seen by their report, given at large in another column, that
these charges were utterly discredited by
the committee on elections; but being reiterated upon the floor bv the petitioner, Mr Polke arose and indignantly repelled them.

WASHINGTON JANUARY, 7. In the Senate, yesterday, Mr. Holmes pre
sented the petition of sundry citizens of the State of Maine, prayine: for the abolition ol
slavery in the District of Columbia. The

granted by the United States, for literary purposes, and the location of other lands in

Boundary Line of the State of Missouti, and for the division among the half breeds of the
Sacs and Fox tribes of Indians, the reserva
tion of land within that Slate, and the bill allowing the duties on foreign mercoartclise imported into Louisville, St. Louis, and other
places on the Western Waters, to be se
cured and paid at those places were respec
tively ordered, after being amended, to be engrossed for a third reading.
In the House of Representatives, yesterday, sundry petitions were presented, and a great many resolulions offered. After the
hour appointed had expired, a number of
resolutions were presented on leave, so that the hour for considering resolutions had ex pired before the House called up the unfinished business of yesterday; the resolution of Mr. Hunt, and the amendment of Mr. Mar
tin. Mr. Hunt has the floor for to morrow,
in continuation of his speech of Tuesday. The House then resolved itself into a Com mittee of the Whole, on the contested elec

WASH1NOTOX, JANUARY 6
In Senate, yesterday, thc bill granting preemption rights to settlers on public lands, after a short discussion, in which Messrs. Barton, Holmes, Benton, Bell and Noble took part, was postponed and made the special order of the day for Tuesday week. The bill further to revive and continue in force the several acts making provision for thc extin guishment of debts due from the purchasers of public lands, was engrossed and read a third time. The bill for the relief sundry citizens who lost property by the depredation of certain Indian tribes, wasotdercd to
be engrossed and read a third time. Several petittons and memorials were presented, a mong which was one from a public meeting in the city of New York, against the removal of the Indians beyond the waters of the Mississippi, and another from Maine, against the transmission of the United States' Mail on Sunday. In the House of Representatives, petitions and memorials were presented as usual. Numerous bills were reported, in particular, from the committee on Military Affairs, on the important subject of an increase of the corps of Engineers; the General Staff of the Army; the Military Peace establishment; an appropriation for the protection and defence of the Western Frontier of thc Union; and a bill for thc erection of a national Armo
pool to Manchester within the hour, so easily as to be unconscious of motion. The only objection I have to this rapid mode of conveyance is,th t vc have no time to sec thc country through which we are whibked with
such velocity. We met another locomotiye, called the Will o' the Wisp, about Chat
Moss, but we could not see it distinctly as it
flew along; as for the passengers it was im
possible to know a man from a woman.
Our steerman hailed the helmsman of the
Will o' the Wisp, but we were out of hearing before we could get an answer. However, if we cannot dwell upon external objects, we are ample compensated by
what is to be seen and enjoyed m the interior of these flying vehicles, which I will briefly describe to you, the Sky Rocket is an elegant carriage, about two hundred feet in length : it is fitted up with every species of accommodation, except beds, for which there is no occasion, as you wouli) hardly have time to say your prayers and put on your night cap before you were at the end of your journey. No cattle are conveyed by this vehicle, as there is a seperate carriage for cows, shee;, pigs, and their drivers. But what will you say when I tell you that I danced all the way from Liverpool to Manchester ? I fancy 1
see you lift your hands, and hear you exclaim, "Sure the chiel maun be clean daft !" It is true, however, I assure you. The ball room is upwards of fifty feet long, and we had a merry set of quadrillers footing it all the way to music worked by mcchincry, and by the most esteemed masters. Besides the ballroom there is an elegant billiard room, lighted in the evening by gas; and such is the evenness of these railroad, that a person may
play with as much nicety as in any billiard room in thc kingdom. The game, instead
of being twenty one up, is only only eleven.
This is a very good regulation, as the play
ers, previous to its establishment, were often
caught in thc middle of the game. There are now twelve steam carriages ply
ing and one on the old Dutch plan, with sails: when the wind is in the right quarter, this
carnage outstrips them all. There is another, however, constructed on an entirely new
principle, without steam or sails, which, in
