Mr. Jobuson spoke of the fact that almost ali persons formed opinions by the state. ments and comments of the jou! partica- pry Bena regard to political offences. He did not ‘w but what law now allowed such jurors to be accepted in the discretion of the yurt. Mr. Trumbull said such was the fact in seve- Talof the States, but as there was some con- trariety of opinion on the subject, it was thought that the bill should be passed. ‘Mr. Bayard looked upon the bill asa danger. ous innovation upon the long settled custom of | excluding thore who had previously formed and expressed opinions.

Mr. Trumbull said the bill did not Propose to do away with this right, Mr. Davis thought it that tendency. He would sooner give up every other pon ot the Government, than this one of the impartial trial by jury. This was a most d us inno- vation. Gentlemen (looking at Mr Trumbull aod Mr. Johnson, who were engaged in con- versation and smilitg) may snicker and laugh as much they please, but their gibes and their taunts would not drive him from opposition to this bill. He did not care what their age, what their legal ability, or how high their position in society, they couid not deter him from doing as his conscience dictated by any affectation of indifference. Mr. Trumbull hoped the honorable Senator would not think that his smilrs were provoked by anything said by the Senator. Mr. Davis.—I do not know or care what they were about. Mr. Trumbull.—Yon spoke as if you did. Mr. Davis.—I alluded to the scene which was being played right before me. Mr. Jobnson rose and begged to disavow any intention of disrespect to the Senator. Mr. Davis.—Well, what did yon get up for? Mr. Davis continued by saying that he only desired to enter bis protest against this bill, and had not intended to occupy so long a time. Mr. Frelinghuysen thought that in these days of universal newspaper reading the expression of hypothetical views based on them should not disqualify aman asa juror. The object of the bill was to correct the injurious rulings of some of our courts, Mr. Eayard made some further remarks in opposition to the bill, and it was then passed— yeus 37, nays s, Mr, Surmier introduced a joint resolution Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, that no person elected as President or Vice President, who has after- | wards served as Piv-ident. shall be afterwards | eligible to either office.

Op motionof Mr. Washburne, (Ill) the ns- val appropriation bill was taken ‘trom the Speaker's table and referred to Committee un Appropriations. r, Washburne (Ill) introduced a resolu- tion reciting that the steamship Atlantic was again effered for sale under a contract made 6th of February, 1549, with John Y. Mason, then | Secretary of the Navy, and Prosper M. more, and other parties, and directing the Sec- retary of the Navy to inform the House why the sale has been postponed from time to time for ten years; where suid vessel now is: whether if sold the amount of m: against her will be retlized; and whether said vessel was char- tered —. rebellion: and if so, where she wasused. The resolution was adopted, Mr. Robinson (N.

The Speaker ruled this was not a privileged question at the time, as when the House ad- journed upon the lasiday when business was transacted the yeas and nays had been ordered upon a regolution to print Mr. Butler's speech, and until that was disposed of no business could imtervene except by a unanimous con- sent. Mr. Robinson then demanded the order to have the business referred to dis} of, and pending the demand, on motion of Mr. Washburne, (1il,) the House, at 12:15, ad- journed. ——~-re.

Notwithstanding the tightness of the money market during the past week, which bas acted on ail departments of trade like an early frost on ripening vegetables, there has been au a-tive business done in dry goods; considerable Li veli- ness bas been develo among buyers, and rices Of most descriptions of domestics have m advanced.

Standard sheetings are about a cent a ya Uigher than our quotations of last week, and further rise will probably take place stock in first hands being small—uoless che should be a decline in the raw material. a co tingency which is hardly likely to occur 1b bieached shirtings and sheetings of the better grades the business has corresponded with operations in brown gooas. For mediwin ynalities there bas not been so good a dem: and the stock in first hands bas been consi bly increased. A fair business is doing im drills, mostly for the home trade, in small lots, the export demand being light. flannels we understand there bas been some speculative purchases, but the demand for im- mediate trade is limited. Corset jeans continue im fair request, and prices urea shade better than last week. Stripes and licks ar in more active demand. and the better qualities com- mand increased prices. The same may be re- ported of denims and cottonades. market for gray printing cloths bas tailen off a trife; but we do mot look for any decline of prices while the price of raw material keeps up. In prints business has been. acuve agrin, and prices have advanced abou! balf a cent a yard. The new Spring styles from some of the well-known primt works are very aturactive, and the manufacturers find it difficult to keep the market supplied. Ginghams of desirable styles are in good but the inferior qualities are not so freely taken. Printed lawns, madder colors, adapted to the senson, seli Irer- ly, and in some cases command an increase of prices. Rolled jaconets, cambrics and silesias are in fair demand, but without any materiat ge of rates. In muslin de laimes there ix not so lively a trade as manufacturers expect ~ ed. The market is very abundantly supplied, and the range of prices is very wide. The | Spring styles are remarkabiy it.
