The democratic Ohio delegation, with Mr. Brinkerhoff at their head, said “ aye.” Tea and coffee were put into the free list, and this made it palatable ; and the retention of salt in the unenu- merated articles, by a majority of one, preserved it, as well as a drawback instead of a bounty on pickled fish!

Then came Mr. Ritchie, bounding up, on tiptoe, and extending his long arm, and addressed General McKay— “General, I congratulate you—it’s through !” And then the three distinguished Southern gen- | tlemen withdrew from the hall, all feeling like Mr. Clay when he walked the Boulevards in Paris, after hearing of the battle of New Orleans—a foot When the House adjourned over to Monday, in view of the intervening Fourth, and in considera- | don of the passage of the bill, there were loud Fenix. —___ Wasuineron, July 2, 1846.

Brooklyn. Notwithstanding the wetness of the day, the na- tional festival was observed here, with more than usual enthusiasm. The absurdity of the anti license law was never more powerfully held up to ridicule, than in this city on yesterday, where several votaries of the ‘jolly god” were to be seen, in a state of disgraceful intoxication. Indeed, a gentleman had to discharge a charitable office, in assisting an aged woman, with a helpless body, across the Catharine Ferry, in the pre- sence of the Collector and other persons, about 8 o’clock; perhaps the most melancholy instance on record, as 6! must have been over sixty years of age.

They bring no news of any interest, except that the market is overstocked with American produce. The officers of both vessels bring a report, which we: trust is incorrect, although it comes from pretty good authority. ‘They report that the British brig Teegraph, from this port, Capt.
