In the Senate this morning, a joint re'o lution authorizint the Secretary ofthlei Nt vy tagiVeoaprr;--nee to.Amorican llm in his purchases of itat article. W.1s pa-ed. A bill from the louse, makminZ an appro priation for reiairs of lotilicattions ll sta sen Island was. after considerable demte, postponed until next sision. A retslotem was submitted from the Select Cotinitte: on the subject, for the enpilovient by lhe Senate of fiva reporters to g-ve Ihe deba ties of that body. The iesolution was read and ordered to a second realing. The bill from the House, to prohibit the inve-Alient , of the funds of the United States in the stocks of the several States was inken up, and Messrs. Sevier and Linn characierised it as a most flagrant attcmpt to injure thie character of the credit of the States by that party which had so recently denoun cod the Democracy as atteipting to injure State credit. After considerable debate it was passed. A bill from tile lIou-e ap propriating $600,000 for the purchase of naval ordnance and ordnance stores. was taken up. Mr. Mangumn ofliered all ameament, authorizin;; ihe President to add ive hundred. men to the marine corps. This was opposed by Messrs. Kin:; ami Woodbury, and Mr. Maaigum. at the re quest of Mr. Clay, withdrew his amend ment. Mr. Calhonn then asked ,ni ex planationorthe appropriation lor ordiii nac.. and was inrormed by Mr. Maniamm that it was intended by the bepartmnent to expeld fe- ordnance, &c. durin; the nex three years, one million cight hundred thonand dollars, and that the appropriatiin inii lie bill was the tne third of thrit a'muunt. Af ter an inciTectual oppositions by 31r. Cal houn to conmence an expenditure of inc magnitude with so little informanltinn up the subject, the bill w.as pa"i'd. The Senate then went into executive %114.1m1, and having pasel upon unii;orani noai inations, adjourned. In the Ilouse the Tariff hill was akent up, the qqestion being on a he amenmicenils made by the Scna'c. Mr. Wise mei t" include "salt," in the free articles. .lr.

An adjournment wa moved. which was negatived. and uotions to re consider the votes on salt, su;ar, and cut ton wern made and the lluue adjunrtc.l. WAsHnia-o..Sept. 10. Today the vote was taken on the Hank Bill under the veto, and of course wva-> lost for want ofthe two-thirds to carry it. All the speechesof the n higs were taaractcri sd by the utmost hitterness, and cle-arly indicative of an entire separution fron Ty ler. All the Cabinet have resignel except Webster and Granger. It is said Mr. Ad ams and some others waited on Mr. Wet ster and r~mroastrated strongly ith hh81n rrign relations. But oer reaious are assugned for hi1 bo1ding on.

The duty i% to guard the indaiental will of the peoplic ilheiselves 'romi (in this case, I admit, uninientionial) :hange or intraction by a mnjority in Con. ;ress. Antid in that light alone, do I regard Ito constitutionil duty which I now most -eluctantly discharge. In this hill, now presented for tmy ap >rval or disapproval, such a bill as I have already declaied coui oilt receive my inaction ? 1-s it such a bill is cals for thi' :xercise of the negative ower under ithe aonstitution ? Does it violate the Consti ution, by creating a National Bank, to ope ate per se over the Union? Its title, in he first place, describes its general charac er. It is **An act to provide for the better !ollection, safe-keeping, and disbursement if the public revenue, by means of a corpo ation, to be styled the Fiscal Corpcration if the United States. In style, then, it is ilainly national in its character. Its pow !tr., functions, and duties, are those which >ertain to the collecting, keeping, and dis ,ursing the public revenue. Tho means ty which theste are to be exerted is a cor 2aralion. to le styled the Fiscal Corpora ion of the Uniltd States. It is a corpora ion created by the Con-ress of the United tates, in its character ofa National Lc';is atire for the whole Union, to licrformn the iscal purpses, titeet the fscal wantis and :xigericies, supply the fiscal uses, anti ex -rt thefiscaul agei.cies of the Treastiry of the b'nited States. Such is its ouwn dlescription >fitself. Do its provisigons contradict its itle 1 They do not.

It operates per se )vet the Union, by virtue of the unaided, and in my view, assumed anthority of [ongress a a National Legislature, as dis biaguishable from a bank created by Con as for the District of Columbia, as the I Legislature of the District.

Several negroes ;ave bond, and obtained the permission of the authorities to go away with sureties. some of our most respectable citizens, but ere headed even within the military sea wtiels and compelled to return within the ;round. It was resolved, to embody the huale negroes, and umsarch them to jail for wcurity. under the prutectint of military tod civil au:iority. From 5)'A to 350 e gries, including sound and unarmed, were withi toie dilicuty marched off to the ail, surrounded by the milnry and ofli ,ers; and a dense mass of men, women, and boy-, corfounding all distinction be iwecn the orderly and disorderly, sem pitnied with dealening yells. They were safely loudged, and still remain in prison, separated fran their families. The crowd was in that way dispersed. Some then supposed we should have a quiet night-batt others more obsersing. discovered that the lawless mol had deter Mined on further violence, to be enacted immediately after night fall. Citizens disposed to aid [ie authorities were invited to assemble, enroll themselves, and organ ize for action. The military were ordered out, firemen were out, clothed with author ity as a police baud. About 80 citizen en rolled themselves as assistants of the Mar shal, and acted during the iight under his directions, in connection with Judge Tor rence, who was selected by themselves. A portion of this force was mounted. A troop of horse, and several companies of volun teer infantry countittued on duty until near midnight. Some were thet discharged to sleep upon their arms. Others remained ont duty till morning, guarding t he jail, &e. As we anticipated, the mob elfliciently organized, early, commenced operation, dividing their force and making attacks at different points, thus distracting the atten tion of the police. The first successful on set was made upon the printing establish ment of the Philanthropist.
