The House bill establishing post routes in Texas was taken up and passed. The Committee on Naval Affairs reported a bill to se. parate the stafffrom the line in the Marine Corps. Tho army bill was taken up on its passage, Mr. Hovsron moved to recommit the bill to the Milita- ry Committee with instructions to report it back, in con- formity with his amendment for,volunteers , which wa: before offered and rejected. He also spoke at great length in favor of the volunteer system. Mr. Hurrinaron moved an amendment to the instruc. tions by striking out Mr. Houston’s instructions, and in- serting instructions to strike out the proviso authorising loan certificates. This was not agreed to—yeas 18, nays 28. A motion was made to recommit the bill, which was then negatived. The bill finally passed—yoas 39, nays $—Mossrs. Cil- ley, Culling, and Davis voting in the negative. A communication was received from the Secretary of the Treasury in answer to Mr. Cameron’s resolution of the 7th January, recommending an increase on duties as follows:—On coal 10 per cent; iron 10 per cent; on cloths and cassimeres, costing over $4 per yard, 10 per cent; on brown, white, and refined sugar, 20 per cent; oneotton prints costing over 30 cents per square yard, 5 cents; on Cotton goods not printed costing over 20 eents per square yard, 6 per cent; on white and red lead 10 per cent— These increased duties ho estimates will produce $1,41! 000. Diminished duties of 5 per cent are recommen: on axes, hammers, chisels, plough shares, and cotton goods costing not over 8 cents per square yard, which will produce $55,000. The tax on tea and coffee is again recommended, reduced to 15 per cent, and some few ar- ticles on the free list to be taxed, but none of any conse- quence. ‘The Senate, after going into executive session, ad- journed. House of Representatives. Mr. Tuomrson’s resolution, calling for correspondence with General Taylor, was again taken up. Mr. Ashmun’s amendment, requesting information re- lative to Santa Anna’s return to Mexico, was rejected, | 76 to 99. A motion to lay the resolution on the table was nega- tived, 29 to 125. The resolution was then adopted, 101 to63. The bill from the Committee of Foreign Relations, re- ported by C.J. Ingersoll, then came up. Mr. Ingersoll moved to postpone the consideration of it to Monday. Mr. Parstox Kino proposed an amedment prohibiting | slavery in new territories hereafter acquired. This amendment was declared not now in order, and Mr. In- gersoll’s motion prevailed. Mr. Reusen Cuarmay submitted a resolution calling for information why the Alabama regiment was retained | on the Rio Grande, and not marched to Monterey to par ticipate in that battle, and why Capt. John McDuff was deprived of his command by Gen. Shields, at Tampico, and ordered home, without a court martial. The reso- lution was adopted ; and then, after a spirited discussion between Messrs. Chapman and Bouglass, it was recon- sidered and laid on the table.
