Mr. Ewing, from the Committee on Fi nance, reported back the bill to establish a branch mint of the U. S. in California Mr Bradbury from the committee on the Judiciary, to whom had been referred the petitions praying the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Bill, reported the same back stating that legislation on the subject is inexpedient. The report was concurred in. Mr. Hamlin reported a bill prohibiting any American vessel from trading to the coast of Africa except to ports in Liberia and the British Colonies, unless the vessel shall clear from some port in the United Stales er in Europe Mr. Yulee called up a bill granting land to Florida to aid in the construction ot a railroad in 'hat State, and after debate the bi'i was pas sed. The River and Harbor bill was received from the House and referred. The Senate then took up the Cheap Pos age bill. Mr. Chase offered an amendment making the postage on weekly papers within fifty miles from their place of publication shall be charged three cents per quarter instead of fire as proposed by Mr. Rusk’s substitute, after debate this was rejected—yeas 20, nays 21. Mr. Dickinson moved an amendment giv ing to weekly papers within the county of their publication, and for thirty miles, circnla tion free of postage, and this was rejected— yeas 21, nays 31. The bill was then postponed. The Deficiency bill was returned from the House with an amendment to the Senate amendment, and, after debate, this was post poned, and the Senate went into executive section. HOUSE Immediately after the reading of the Jour nal, a bill lor the arrangement of a line of steamers from California, and another from Philadelphia to Antwerp, reported by the Committee on Naval Affairs, was readafirst time; when a motion was made to lay it on the table. The ayea and nays being taken, there were 68 voting in the affirmative and 91 in the negative. Before the expiration of the morning hour, the House went into Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union; and on motion of Mr Baylv, took up the Deficiency Bill, and considerable d scussion took place. Fin ing the debate was occupying a iong time, Mr Bayly stated, that as there were ten appropriation bills to pass, and but ten days remaining of the present session, he should move that the committee rise, that a resolution might be passed for terminating the debate.— This was done, and after passing a resolution that the debate should cease in half an hour, the House again uentinto committee. Alter the allotted tin e had expired, Mr Bay ly closed the debate; and an amendment to tint proposed by the Senate, granting to the Cherokee nation |1724,000, with interest down to April next, was carried. Tho H ouse then went into Committee on 1 the Military Academy Appropriation Bill, and soon after adjourned. IN SENATE Feb. 2o. Mr. Underwood presented a petition from the Mayor and authorities of Georgetown, setting forth the alarming increase of free ne groes in that town ; the evils resulting from such a degraded and mischievous population, and asking Congress to lake measures for their deportati n to Africa. Mr. Dickinson presented a similar petition from the authorities of Brooklyn, New York. Messrs. Seward and Cooper presented petitions for a repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law. A Bill granting land to Missouri to aid in the construction of a railroad from St. Louis to the western limits of that S ate was called up by Mr. Atcbinson, and after debate the same was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading. The H ouse amendment to the Deficiency Bill was concurred in. The Military Academy and Pension Appro pria ion Bills from the House were referred. Mr. Turney called up the bill allowing the East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad Compa ny four years to pay the du’ies on Railroad iron imported by the Company; and after de bate, tho bill was laid on the table. The consideration of the bill for the reduc tion of postage was again resumed. An amendment proposed by Mr. Soule, re quiring that all contracts for carrying the mail through foreign countries shall be for four years, by the cheapest and nearest route. A dopted Mr. Miller moved to amend the substitute by making it conform to the bill as it came from the House, charging three cents only on letters, whether prepaid or not. Lost, 10 ayes only Mr. Bradbury moved an amendment abol ishing the fraukinj privilege of members of Congress after Dpc. Ist. 1851 Messrs. Jeff Davis, Hamlin, Bradbury and Hale, advocated the amendment, and Messrs. Rusk, Dayton, Downs and Pearce opposed, and it was rejected—yeas 13, nays 31. Ad journed. HOUSE. The bill for increasing the efficiency of the naval service, occupied about an honr this morning It was supposed by Mr. Bocock. of Vir ginia, who stated that the object of the memo rial from Pennsylvania, for aid to build steam vessels for the carrying of the mails, was ofthe same d scription as one with which he bad been entrusted from Norfolk. He then refer red to the objections made yesterday, bv Mr. McLane, to a scheme of this nature ; reviewed the large amounts already paid to the Euro pean line of steamers, and explained the object of the memorialists, which is, that (he govern ment shall issue five millions es stock, and the parties one trillion, and as this stock is applied security shall be given for the completion of the work, and wheu it shall be completed, the government is to receive a mortgage on the vessels—that five per cent on the capital ex- , pended shall be annually paid back to the r Government, so that at the expiration of ten I years the debt would amount only to one half e of the capital advanced, and the Government would have ten steamships at its disposal fit for (he naval service of the country. The House then resolved itself turn a Com mittee of the V, hole, and again took up the t u ilitary academy bill, which was soon laid aside and the pension bill taken up. Mr. Bayly expressed his hope that gentlemen would not leave the hall, as was the case yes- < terday ; a d gave notice that if delay again oc curred from the same cause, he would have the roll called in every instance, and that if the business of Congress should not have boon ' completed at the close of the ses.-ion, owing te the absence of members, it would be seen tO' whom the disappointment was to be attriba ! ted. Finding a disposition to speak on subjects unconnected with the bill under consideration, Mr. Bayly moved that the committee rise; and when the House had resumed, moved tha* the debate on the bill be limited to one minate. The committee then passed one or two uncon* troverted bills without discussion. The Navy Pension Bill was also laid aside, to be reported to the House, but that relative to Indian affairs called forth considerable ani madversion ; and an amendment proposing a re-organization of the Indian Department to a certain extent, and substituting a reduced number of agents for the commissioners at present employed, and effecting a saving in the gross amount of salaries and other expen ses, was passed. Finding membersagain digressing, Mr. Bay ly, who is the Men’or o j the House, moved that the committee rise, for the purpose of termi nating the debate, and when the House hud resumed, a motion was made by him and car ried, that the debate should terminate in fifteen minutes. The house having again resolved itself im \ a committee of the Whole, the bill was then * read and agreed to, and laid aside to be report- , ed to the house. ( I The committee then rose, and the bills which had been agreed to were read a third time and ordered to be engrossed and passed. Adjourn ed. IN SENATE Fan. 21. A message was received from the Commis sioner of Indian Affairs A motion to reeonsiler the vote by which the bill for the relief of the Tennessee and Georgia Railroad Company, was laid on the table, was discussed, and then postponed. A message was then received from the President in response to Mr. Clay’s resolution. [The message will be found in our paper this morning ] Mr. Clay moved the message be referred to the committee on the judiciary. He addressed the Senate in terms denunciatory of the con duct of those who took part in the affair at Boston, particularly the white men under whose instigations and inducements the delu ded negroes were urged to take these steps. He denounced, in no very measured terms, the proceedings of Mr. Geo. Thomson, of England. Mr. Hale followed, pronouncing the procla mation of the President an impolitic, unwise, unnecessary, futile, idle, weak proceeding. Mr. Clay replied, and Mr. Hale rejoined with much warmth. Mr. Mason contended that the law could never be executed without a change of senti ment of the people of the North. To surren der up the fugitive slaves was a duty required by the constitution. Massachusetts had taws upon her statute books which forbade the exe cution of the laws by her officers and citizens. He held Massachusetts false to her federal obli gations. Mr. Casa agreed with Mr. Clay. He justi fied the acts of the President, and bad no fear but he would do his duly. Mr. Dickinson followed, contending that the law could and would be executed. Mr. Clay continued the debate with Mr. Hale. Mr. Butler contended that the law was worthless, as any law woold be. The North had determined relentless war upon the insti tutions of the South, and no legislation could avert the certain doom of the South. Mr Davis, of Mass , contended that the af fair at Boston was one of those cases which might arise anywhere. After farther debate, the message was refer red to the Committee on the Judiciary, and the Senate adjourned. HOUSE. A joint resolution proposing amendments of the Constitution of the United Stales, was re ferred to the committee of the whole an the state of the Union, and ordered to be printed. The House then took up the private bills on the Speaker’s table, several of which were fi nally passed. The House then resolved itself into a com mittee of the whole, and the bill granting ap propriations for the Post office Department was taken up. The rest of the day was taken up in discus sing the bill. Mr Potter, of Ohio, moved amendments to strike out certain portions of it, and determining the salaries to be paid to officers and clerks of the Departments. The House committee rose and without passing the bill the House adjourned. NEW SPRING- GOODS HICKMAN, WE SCOTT <fe CO..
