COXGRESSIOXAL. Washington, May 20.-The Senate having concurred in fix ing on the 27th instant as the day for terminating the present session of Congress, the ad journment will take place ac cordingly on this day week. Nat. Int. Tariff. The bill for a revi sion of 'the Tariff of Duties on imports has.. at length, passed both Houses of Congress, and wants only the signature of the President to become a law. That signature, there is no rea- of Mr. Lane to that amount, which he , had never repaid and consequently, that the Pre sident ought to be responsible for it to the country. These charges were repelled with in dignation by Messrs. Brent, Hamilton of South-Carolina, and others. but sustained virtually by Messrs. Wood of New-York, Forsyth and Cobb, of Georgia, and Williams of North-Carolina. Mr; Stevenson of Virginia, felt satisfied that the government was indebted to the President in relation to this business, and pledged himself to make this clear to every gentleman, when the subject should come up a- srain. lie sdokc, witn a sene 4,1 , Inn if ihn rprpirp.anri a " - "r" & Wll luuvuui, w ..... - 1UU3 lUlllJiL, Ul U1U 111" I1-IM1UU- ed, upright and liberal course of the President, and stated that this distinguished individual, whose whole life has hecn devo ted to his country's cause, when he left the Presidential office, would retire from her service in embarrassed and distressed circumstances. Mr. Hamilton asked the gentleman from Ten nessee to state whether he in tended to assert that the Presi dent had been guilty of embez zling the public money arising from the sale of these lots? He wrent on to remark that gentle men who cast insinuations up on others, should themselves he exempt from suspicion, and pro ceeded to state that charges had been made against the gentle man from Tennessee, in one of the public prints of Washing ton, and that it would become him to clear himself of the sus picions which had arisen from his silence, before he undertook to make insinuations against others. Mr. Cocke promised at a proper time, to give an an swer to the charges made against him. The question was taken by ayes and noes on agreeing to the report, and it was deter mined in the affirmative ayes 1S1 noes none. Pet. Int. Spanish Claims. The bill authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to borrow five mil lions of dollars at the annual in terest of four and a half per cent, to nay the claims under the it may be spoken of, by antici palion, as the law ot the land. Upon the passage of this act we have little room, for com ment. It is not the bill origin ally reported, its very nature being essentially changed by the amendments which, in its pro gress to maturity, it has under gone in both Houses, and parti cularly in the Senate. As it now stands, it has some good features, and a few objectionable ones. It augments the duties on many articles, but not to such an amount as to make them pro hibitory, or oppressive in their operation. The objection to the principle of the bill in the Sou thern country and in some of the commercial districts, will still have their original force; but those which are founded on ap prehensions of its practical ope ration will not, we think, be re alized. As the duties are not so far increased as to amount to a pro hibition, the effect of the bill will be, after this year, to add to the revenue an amount, va riously stated, of from one toj lour millions of dollars. We do not much want the revenue, but, by this addition, the go vernment will be able so much more rapidly to reduce the na tional debt, and thus to prepare the nation more firmly to bear up against adverse circumstan ces, should it have again to en counter them, as it has done heretofore. By the passage of this act, v? ... 11 ,i I one important goou nas not ocen accomplished, viz. the satisfying I the petitions and wishes of a ) brge portion of our fellow citi- r.cns, who have been induced, I by a reasoning which we never could follow, to believe that such I' a measure as the adoption of a j new Tariff was inseparably con- i nected with our national inde- I nendencc. It ltfay , be fairly I 1'iTsumed, now, that the Tariff " i settled for man?- years, and it ! - a subject of congratulation, 1 at, being settled, the revision 12 s approached so nearly to the ''''an ideal of a "judicious" one. ib. shall be greatly disappointed if (Treaty with Spain, passed the House ot Representatives on the 7th inst. The Washington Journal states that the Bank of the United States has already of fered to loan the money at the interest set down in the bill. The Commission will expire un der the Treaty on the Sth of June next, and should the bill meet with no further opposition, it is probable that the money will be ready even before the Claimants will be able to pro cure their certificates of award. ib. 'it The President and General ' ocke, of Tennessee. On Fri-f-iy, 1 Uh inst. in the House of K"presentatives, Mr. Brent, of !cui$iana, reported from a se ta't committee, of which Mr. f'ockc of Tennessee, was chair man, a report and resolution, 1Uc accounts of the late ttv. Line, Superintendent of public inuUin-s m Washington, vvith the government oi the United States, stated that gentle man to have died a defaulter to the government, to the amount 522,000. Mr. Cocke, who 'id not acquiesce in this report, tempted to account for the de dication, by stating that the A resident of the I! was a debtor to the estate of Mr. nc m an equal amount that 10 had borrowed public money FRIDAY, MAY 28, 1824. Congress. By a reference to our Congressional news, it will he seen that the Tariff bill has passed both Houses, and only wants the signa ture of the President to become a law. Yesterday being the time appoint ed for the adjournment of Congress; probably ere thismost of the mem bers are on their way home. To Correspondents. Agreeable to request, we shall rc-publish in our next paper, the reply to some strictures on the character of Wm. I II. Crawford. We have taken the liberty to omit the passage, selected to intro duce the remarks of "Callimaclius," inserted in this day's paper, believ ing they would be more acceptable to a majority of our readers without the caption; a moment's reflection, we presume, will convince him of the propriety of the course pursued. Steam boat acciden t. On Saturday, 15th inst. while the steamboat JEtna was on her pas sage lrom Washington, iN. J. to New-York, the boiler gave way and blew up, and, melan choly to relate, about twenty passengers were killed and wounded. The accident hap pened when the boat was near Robin's Reef, about five miles below the city. The passen gers, at the time of the acci dent, were chiefly in the centre cabin, near the boiler, where they had srone on account of the coolness of the weather. The number of scalded, we learn, is about ten; some of them very badly. We understand there were on board at the time, besides fourteen persons belong ing to the boat, between twen ty and thirty passengers. Four persons are said to have jump ed overboard, and it was suppo sed were drowned. The hands of the boat uiio were on deck escaped, as well as those who were in the forward and after cabins. The steward, Victor Grass, a Frenchman, crept out of the forward cabin, after the accident, and was drowned. The iLtna is a complete wreck. Her boiler, which is of iron, and upon the principle of high pressure, is supposed to have given way near the bot tom, and blew up with a trc mendous explosion, wholly de stroying the centre of the boat and centre cabin, but doing vc ry trifling injury to the forward or alter cabins. After the accident, she was towed to the city by the steam boat United States, and the wounded conveyed to the hos pital. Daily Jdv. Extra meeting of the New York Legislature. The Alba ny Daily Advertiser of 17th in stant, says that the rumor "re lative to an extra session of the Legislature, is not without cause; and -we have a well found ed hope that the people of the state of New-York will yet have the power of choosing the pre sidential electors before the first of October next. The democra cy of the state will assuredly triumph over the machinations of an unprincipled aristocracy." Baltimore. May 14. Mr. , John Randolph came in upon us yesterday alternoon on norse back in full speed, having left Washington after 12 o'clock, and took passage at 5 o'clock in the steamboat for Philadelphia. rlis very odd annearance caused a crowd of people upon the wnan, to see him oft. His lress, a little fur can, blue coat, white vest, drab breeches, lonir yellow top boots and spurs. Mr. K. arrived in New- York on the 15th, and sailed on the 16 th in the packet ship Nes tor, for Liverpool. Emigration. For some time past complaints have been utter ed in Philadelphia, that many citizens of that place have re moved to New-York. Balti more has been putting forth the same complaints; and by a late Boston paper, we perceive in a communication from a mercan tile correspondent, that the trade of Boston is finding its way to New-York to an alarm ing extent.

On the second day, the purse of vr300 was taken by Mr. Wynn's mare Platina, beating with caseMr. Wilson's h. G rey hound. A religious maniac. Israel Rutland, of Brookhavcn, Conn, who we understand has been sometime laboring under what is called a concern of mind, on the night of the 5th inst. awoke his wife, and very deliberately told her, that it had been reveal ed to him, that he must destroy his family, and as 'deliberately rose for the purpose; but the wife not believing in the revela tion, took her departure for some of the neighbors, - who ha ving collected, they returned to the house, where they found the oldest child, about 8 years old, lying on the door step, where R. had taken it by its heels and dashed its brains out it lived nearly an hour. He likewise had broken the skull of another child about four years old, be longing to a woman in the house; it is said it cannot live.
