THR WOODWORTH PATENT, Mr. Suswvrn presented a remonstrance of 210 membors of the Maseachusetts Legislature, against the extension of Woodworth’s patent. COLLING STRAMPRA, Mr. Jones, of Tonn., presented the potition ofa number of merchants and others, in Momphis, for additional ald to the Collins line of steamers. Mr. Bropueap presented the resolutions of the Board of Commissioners of the Incorporated Northern Liberties of Philadelphia, setting forth that the many grants of money for the purpose of endowing the Collins line of steamers, and other similar propositions, would have the effeet of building up the already overgrowninterest of external commorce, to the injury of internal commerce, and urging that such appropriations could be much better applied to the construction of railroads to connect with the Lakes. They appeal to their reprosentatives to oppose such appropriations. Laid on the table. NAVIGATION OF THR Missisarrrr. Mr. Grver introduced a bill, Apopee! for the im- provement of navigation of the Mississippi and its tri- butaries, NON-INTERVENTION, The non-intervention resolutions were taken up, and postponed till Wednesday uext. THE CUMBERLAND DAM, ‘The bill for the improvement and ropair of the dam.at the head of Cumberland Irland, in the Ohio river, was taken up. After some debate, the bill was referred to the Committee on Commerce. THE DEFICIRNCY BILL was then taken up, and a debate ensued on the amend ment appropriating $48,000 to cnable the Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the House to pay for the copies of Robert Dale Owen's report on the geology of Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota, ordered by tho two houses, and the same was agreed to. An amendment appropriating $10,000, to be paid out and expended under the direction of the Attorney Gene- ral of the United States, in precuring such copies or other evidences of the laws and decrees, or ordinances, of the Spanish or Mexican governments, relating to or affecting land claims in California or New Mexico, &c., and for the salary of an agent, to be appointed by the Attorney Gen ral, to select such information, was moved to be amended. by Mr. Dawson, by striking out the “Attorney General” and inserting the ~ President of the United States.”” Messrs. Manaum and Donor favored the amendment. Messrs, Bortann, Banorr and Fricn opposed it, Mr. Dawson's motion was finally rejected. The original amendment was then agreed to, THE COLLINS LINE OF STRAMERS, The next amendment was for additional com} for increasing the transportation of the United § mail between New York and Liverpool, on the Collins line of steamers, to twenty-six trips per annum, at such times as shall be directed by the Postmaster General, and in conformity to his last annual report to Congress, and his letter, of the 15th of November last. to the Secretary of the Navy—commencing said increased service from the Ist of January, 1852, at the rate of $33,000 per trip, in lieu of the present allowance of $236,500 per annum. Mr. Gwix, (dem.) of Cal.. said this amendment pro- posed an increase in the number of trips, This subject first came before the Committee on Naval Affairs, and was by that committee thoroughly examined. As he was also a member of the Finance Committee, he was instructed to move this amendment. The policy of Great Britain in establishing her lines of steamers, had long since at- tracted the attention of thiscountry, Those steamers had been establithed. and for years left (heir tracks upon every sea, levying contributions upon all 1 3, particularly the United States, for their support—for, notwithstand- ing there wero twenty thousand American vossels, the people of the United States were indebted solely to the foreign steamers for the transmission of all their letters to foreign countrics. These Britieh steamers were kept up by all the power of the British government, No American. private enterprise, unaided, could compete with it. The subject was brought before Congress, and there contractors received a contract from the govern- ment. It became, then, a question for national honor, for, had the veseels of the Collins line failed in any single particular, in comparison with the Cunard line, it would have proved mortifying to every American—hence no ex- pense was «pated in their construction, They have been tested, and proved themselves to be the finest models of naval architecture afloat—an honor to their proprietors and to the country. American skill is shown in all its superiority, in’ these vessels, ‘To enable those results to be accomplished, the contractors were compelled to go to an expense which has rendered their present compensation insufficient, and entailing a heavy loss, amounting to $17,000 per trip. The vessels are now greatly beyond the tonnage required by the con- tract. Nothing has been drawn from the treasury to support this line. The postages received by the depart- ment, on foreign letters, since the adeption of the postal treaty, up to March Sist, 1852, has been $828,000. This is the aggregate amount of postages by the two lines since the postal treaty went into operation, Of this sum $138,000 was received before the Collins line commenced. The posteges for the present year show a large increase over past years. ‘The postal treaty was produced by, and would never have been made, had it not been for the establishment of the Collins line.—therefore had not th Collins line been started this vast amount of $828,000, paid for postages, would not bave gon o our treasury, but would have gone to support and maintain the British fleet of war steamers, which, up to that time, had enjoyed the monopoly of the business, He looked upon this pro- | position as in no way conferring # monopoly upon a fow it asa moasure whieh | individuals ; but he looked upc had already, to some extent, broken down the monopoly of Great Britain-a mowopoly which she would never regain. | Abandon this line. and Great Britain draws American con- tributions to support her eteamers—maintain this line, an He thought that those individuals (Collins and bis astociates) who had run this hhaeard, whtchdad resulted in euch signal honor and credit to the whole American name, should be encouraged, aided and supported. It was not with him a mere question of ail to Collins, but whether American skill, enterprise, an henor, should for want of aid from the government be abandoned, and «foreign line of steamers, inferior in every respect, tnke their place, It was a national question Mr, Huxten, (‘tem.) of Va. said he would oppose the amendment—firet, bec it was no deficiency. and ought not to be in this bill--in the next place, ifCon gress should sanction the ordering up of the number of trips from twenty to twenty-six, it would only call at the present rates for a deficiency of $96,000, This $256 000 added to the $285 paid this ling, would make the ogeregate annual ‘ollins over 600.000, while rs y trip would mak compensation over $800,000 ‘The government had not received enough fromthe Col- ling line to pay what had already been expended for its rupport. The postages received from the Cunard line nothing to do with credits tor the Collins line. Th tract was for twenty trips a year for an anual compenration of $585,000, making a Little per trip.

He read soveral doc- uments to prove that for actual war purposes, these steamers, as well as the Cunard line. were ineflicient. If this Now York line was to be aided. how could aid bo ro- fused to tines in Boston, Philadelphia, New Orleans, and elsewhere?
