SENATE. Wednesday, Jan. 4. Mr. Benton introduced a bill to re duce i ho duty on Indian blan kets and other Indian goods, which was rend and ordered to a second reading. Thursday, 5th. An anima ted debate grew out of Mr. Ben ton's motion to refer the bill re ducing the duty on Indian blan kets and other Indian goods to the committee on finance, and Mr. Dickcrson's motion to re fer the same bill to the commit tee on manufactures, in which Messrs. Benton, Dickerson, Brown, Buck tier, Tyler, Clay and Smith participated. The motion of reference to the com mittee on finance was lost, yeas 17, nays 25 and the commit tee on manufactures prevailed, yeas 25, nays 13. Monday. 9th. Mr. Drill.! presented the memorial of the Bank of the United States, ap plying for a renewal of its char ter, which was referred to a se lect committee chosen by bal lot, consisting of Messrs, Dal las, Webster, Ewing, Ilayne, and Johnston. Mr. Clay sub mitted a resolution instructing the committee on finance to re port a bill abolishing the duties on all articles imported, which do not compete with similar ar ticles made or produced in the United States, with the excep tion of the duties on wines and silks, and reducing the duties on wines and silks. TWhen Mr. Clay's resolution was read, he- i ' ; rose anu auurcssetl the Senate at length, developing in an able and distinct manner, his views upon the Tariff. Hc assumed that the public debt, for all prac tical purposes, was already paid, and urged the necessity of an immediate reduction of the taxes to the amount of seven millions at least. This, he pro posed to do, by repealing the duties, as his resolution sug gests, on all articles, silks and mnc3t excepted, which do not come into competition with ar ticles of American production. He insists that the Secretary ot tne lreasury's estimate of tne amount or duties is errone ous, and assumed twenty-five instead of thirty millions, as a iuir average. Snvpn mill; r t c ... . - - . iiiiiiiuiia will leave a fixed revenue of cigmeen millions to be raised on the protected articles. This he represented to be a ground of compromise upon which all parties should unite. redne8day,lUh.Mr. Ben tons four resolutions, calling on the Secretary of the Treasu ry for information respecting the Bank of the United States" were considered and adopted. Alter the morning's business had been gone through, the Se nate resumed the consideration of the special order of the day being Mr. Clay's resolution di recting the committee on finance to bring in a bill repealing the duties on all foreign imported articles not manufactured in he United States, except on wines and silks, and reducing Sen M lll0S "tid"! e"Mr-Cl rose and addres sed the Senate, for about two hours, ,n favor of the resolution! When Mr. Clay had concluded Mr. Ilayne, after a few re marks, in which he dwelt on the vast importance of approa ching a question of such mo inentwith care and deliberation moved that it be postponed to Monday next, and made thc special order for that day, which motion was carried. Thursday, 12th. A report was received from thc Secreta ry of the Treasury, containing the names of the applicants un der the act for the relief of cer tain insolvent debtors of thc li nked States, and the amount of the debts due from each; also, of the names of those who have obtained u release, together with the terms of compromise mane in each case. Friday, 13. Thc Senate spent the greater .part of the day in the consideration of Ex ecutive business. Monday, 16th. Thc Senate was occupied the principal part of thc day by Mr. Hay no's reply to Mr. Clay's opening speech on the new Tariff system. Previ ous to commencing his speech, Mr. Ilayne moved to amend the first resolution as follows: That tiie existing duties on all articles from foreign countries, be so reduced, that thc amount of the public revenue shall be suffi cient to defray the expenses of government, according to their present scale, after thc pay ment of the public debt; and that, allowing a reasonable time for the gradual reduction of thc present high duties on the articles coming into competition with similar articles made or produced in thc United Stales, thc duties be ultimately equali zed, so that thc duties on no ar ticle shall, as compared with the value of that article, vary materially, from the general av erage. When Mr. Ilayne had concluded his speech, Mr. Dick erson moved to postpone thc lurthcr consideration of the re solution and amendments, to .Monday next; which was, after soma discussion, adopted. The Telegraph says: Gen. Ilnyne's speech will be given as soon as prepared for the press. Were we to say that Gen. Ilayne de monstrated, that thc system, as it now is, is unjust and ruinous to the South, that it is prejudi cial to the manufacturing inte rest which it professes to foster, and that it will not be submitted to, we should fall short of that which is due to his able and elo quent appeal to the patriotism and wisdom of thc Senate. H. OF REPKESF,:iTATIVK.S. Tuesday, Jan. 3. 31 r. Pen dleton introduced several reso lutions on the subject of regula ting thc appellate jurisdiction of thc Supreme Court of thc U.

After some remarks from Mr. Jenifer, Mr. Speight asked thc gentleman from Ma ryland (Mr. J.) to postpone his resolution for a few days. The subject of it was of high impor tance, and he (Mr. S.) had re ceived from his own State (N. Carolina) many communica tions respecting it. He wish ed, therefore, that time mi"ht be atlorded for dclibe ration ho fore the House proceeded to act upon it. For his own nnrt, he observed, he should be in favor of the principle of the re solution if it could be shown to his satisfaction that such a course of action by thc General Government were strictly con stitutional.
