C., presented the memorial of Oaptein Wilkes, proposizg a new search for Sir John Franklin, which was referred to the Committee on Nava Affairs. THE MEXICAN INSTALMENT8—EXPLANATIONS WITH REGARD TO MR. GREEN, ETC. Mr. Grey, (whig) of Ky., made explanations with re ference to former debate on the Mexican indemnity, principally in vindication of Benjamin KE. Green’s ho. nesty, relative to the payment of the April and July oa instalments due from this J hereptig to Mexico. ir. Green then being Secretary of Legation, his colleague (Mr, Burt) retired from service, as C! n of the Com- mittee on Military Affairs. He said Mr. Burt left this city in the middle ef December, and has been sick to the present time. The request was agreed to, INFORMATION WANTED RELATIVE TO THE UNITED STATES MAIL, STRAMBHIPS, ETC. Mr. Peasrire, (dem.) of N. H., under a suspension of the rules offered a resolution that the eareeayce the Navy be directed to communicate to the House, the facts in relation to the respective contracts with the Navy Department for building mail steamsbips, for the trans- portation of the United States mails between New York and Liverpool, between New York and New Orleans, Ha- vana and Chagres, and between Panama and San Fran- cisco, amd some point in Oregon; the amount of money which has been advanced and paid to each of the ssid lines of steamers by government; also, whether all the vereels, etipuiated under the ssid contracts to be built, have been 60 built, or what portion of them; also, the amcunt of net receipts of postage collected on either of the sard lines of steamers, and deposited in the treasury to the credit of the appropriations for the annual com- pensation for the service rendered under their contracts, or which has been applied in payment of said annual com- pensation, pursuant to the tenth section of the act of Congres of August 3, 1543, and whether said steamships, or any other steamebips, employed in the transportation of our foreign mails, are in allrespects suitable for im- mediate conversion into steamers for war purposes, and capuble of carrying the ammunition or batteries appro- priate to the class specified in the contracts, and if not suitable for such immediate conversion, whether they could be altered eoas to make them efficient war steam- ers, and if #0, what alterations would be necsssary to be made, and st what expense, to make them war steamers of the firet class. Mr. Breruxns, (whig) of Ga,snid that when cails of this kind ure made, time is required to answer them, and theretore he wished to know tue object of the gentleman before he voted for the resolutions, Mr. Prasr.er replied, that it seemed to him, from the large amount of money already expended, and the appli- cations made te the last Congress, aud during this, and which may hereafter be made, that the subject was of conrequence encugh to induce the House to obtain all the light they can from the most responsible and reliable sources, that they may act understandtngly. ‘We have, he said, appropriated $1,300,000 annually for there mail steamers, and already applications have been tent in for additional pay from the government. The sum of morey we will have to pay, under the present contracts, if the contractors perform the services a3 re- quired, without taking into acconnt any additional ccompeneation or e+iimates for new lines, will amount to ten millions of dollars during the seven or eight years the contracts have yet to run, Last session there were applications, which he bad no doubt would be ronewsd et this, for thirteen additional steamers for the foreign mail service, involving au outlay, in the first instance, of ebout six millions and a half of dollars. and two mil- Lions annuaily thereafter, and these in addition to thors established, and without increased compensation. If we enter into the contracts which will probably be urged curing this Congress, and at the prices arked, it will in- velye us in an expense of forty millions of dollars for thoee steamers, One of the principal arguments, be un- derstood, in favor of these steamships is, that they ere capedle of immediate conversion into war steamers of the firet class, and thet this means {i mort economical for the navy, while, on the other hend, it is said that these steamers are not capable of being converted into war vessels of first class, to carry batteries and armament. But, however the facts may be, he wacted information from a reliable sonros, that he end others may act understandingly. He was not pre pared to yote contracts to individuals which may involve millions of money, to support a rystera of doubtful ex. peGiency, Besides considering its monopolizing te cency, he was unwilling to vote for euch » system, unl be sl.ould be convinced it will inure to the benefi: of t! government, by the ships being capable of immediate conversion into war eteamers of the first class. Mr. O.vs (dem ), of Ohio, suggested an ai dment, which Mr. Peaselee accepted, calling for copies of the contracts. Mr. Sternens of Ga., said he had no objection to this call fer information. The resolution was adopted. PROPOSITION TO ALTER THE TARIFF. Mr. Wexsn, (#hig) of Ohio, atked leave to offer a reso- Intion, that the Committee of Ways ard Means be in structed toreport a bill modifying and altering the taritf of 1846, by subetituting, wherever practicale, specific for ad valorcin duties, with such rates of duties as will yield aevfiicient revenue, ana with such discrimination in fa- vor of iron and other articies of domestic manufacture, and protection to the labor of our own citizens against foreign compettion.

Governor Medill, At Xenia, Springfield, Dayton, and Hamilton, he met with enthusiestic receptions, but, on account of loss of voice, was able to speak but little.

Pittencra, Feb. 9, 1852, A meeting was held here this afternoon, relative to the obstruction of navigation by the Falls of the Ohio, at Louisville. William Richbaum, Esq , presided, and Jokn Bissell, Esq., was Vioe President. A letter was read by John Harper, Esq, Secretary of the Pittsburg Board of Trade, addressed to the board by the committee of a citizens’ meeting at Cincinnati, ac- companied by a memorial to Congress, urging the necessity.of an additional canal around the falls at Louis" ville, to meet the increasing demands of business. It was stated that if the bill proposed by the member of Congress, from Louisville, previding for repairs of the precent canal and locks, without praviding other means of trenrit, become a law, the trade would be ruined for a period of ‘two years, by delays, porterage through the ce of Louisville, commissioners, extra charges, &c 't was suggested that a new canal be constructed with locks at lesst 400 feet in length, before the navigation be interrupted, which can be done on either side of the river with little additional cost. A committee of ten prominent citizens was appointod to craft a memorial to Congress on the subject, and pro- cure subscriptions. A number of resolutions were uiso parsed ; During the proceedings Elwood Morris, civil enginoer, sddressed the meeting, giving some interesting details in connection with the eulject. Ue alluded to a magni dosnt scheme forthe improvement ¢f the navigation of the Obio by means of reservoirs at the sources of the Alle- ghany, of rufficient capscity to hold the surplus water during fresbete, and which could be used in time of crought, thur procuring an adequate supply durisg the year, Ibis novel idea originated with Mr. Ellet, an eminent e peer. who had taken great pains in ascer- taining fa relative to the force of the curreat, &c. It was estimated that it would cost about one milion and a half of dollars, The subject was once before s committee longiers, every member of which scouted the ap rert absurdity, but soom became convinced. of iis feasi- bility, and Fuggested an appropriation of soveral thou- eund ‘dollars for the necersary rurvey, The bill of ap- propriation, was, how st, and has since been euf- fered to rest, but will be brought up thir session.

The loading points of the news, which ia to tho 24ih ult., were received by telograph from Halifex, aad published in tho Heratv, on Saturday last; but we find in our files and correspondence many items of considerable interest. ‘The Vienna correspondent of the Lendon Vers, writing under date of the 7th ult., says:— ‘There appears to be a very hostile feeling growing up between Austria and America, and there isa report about certain despatches of @ very curious nature having been recently sent from tie government of the United States to Vienne. This feeling is worth mentioning, becanse it bas only arieen lately, But a few months ago very friendly relations were existing, aad one of the Austrian archdukes actually set out on a voyage to New York, and was only delayed by a violent fever, Which seized him at Trieste.
