Mr. Clay has introduced a bill in (lie Senate, to abolish the bounties bestowed by tlio Federal Lciri>latiiro upon t>hi|>-owucrs engaged in the codfisherie*. Mr. inadet.oiue remarks upon the subject, fiom which \vc gather the following facts: # lie nays that this pet nursling of the Government, fiom its foundation, with the intermission ot six years, lias drawn in luc aggregate auoui ten millions of dollars from I lie Treasury. II draws now about three hundred thousand annually. This mini is divided between the ownoin and captains of one thousand eight hundred and twenty two vessels engaged iu the codfisherieft. The money goes to tdiip-owners, and not to tin lisheruieii, as the law originally contemplated. Over one thousand nix hundred of these ves sels are licensed in the Stales of M-.ine and Mas Kachusi'ltH. The number remaining are owned ii New Hampshire, Connecticut, Kliode Island am New York. Thus twenty-live Slates of tin Union are made to pay tribute to the eodtish ar isloeraey <?f these nix Stales. Mr. Cuv shows that the reason of the lav docs not now exisl?that these bounties were no Iongmuiiy iuiciiucu 10 imicr uiv eouusneries. j\ the time this bounty wuh granted, all the mil I consumed in llic United States was imported an paid a heavy duty, and codfish at that time con Klituting a principul article of commerce, and ow jug to the large ipiaiility of salt used in dryinj and curing them, the ( ovcrnmnnt, to rcliev those engaged in tho fisheries of the heavy ta paid by them upon salt, in tho shape of n. duty instituted the system of bounties to nil vessel : thai !iiight engage iu the business. liut no\ nun mc <uuy on Fun. is merely nominal, iih- rensu of the law docs not exist, t.nd should therefor be abolished. lie closed his remarks with the following: " lint, taking for iM'anlcd the assertion of tli advocates of this bounty, that it win* intended i foster codli*heries, yet it has signally failed, n< cording to their own testimony.

They were discovered by a parly of men en route from San Antonio to Guerrero, and the description not only of tho locality where tho murdered party was found, but the particular features and marks nf the corpses, leave no doubt as to tho identity. This dog of one of the incit, whose leatures, severely marlcou uy smallpox, were described by (lie (iuerrcro part)', lias returned Iioiiio. Tito man in question, Kdubejeii Moliuo, has left a largo family:? lie was an industrious and good citizen.? Another of the corpses, as desciibcri, corresponds with the body of an old mall with but 0110 eye, named Frausta, who'.* weiil out along with Judge Williamson of this place and a number of other citizens,' to run cattle. They were to have returned here on the 1 ."illi of this month, it is feared that Judge Williamson also has perished at the bauds of (he savages, as the mint I'Yausla was in attendance niton him. Lt. K.unsay, lsl Artillery our U. S. soldiers (!) and a number of citizens have just lclt lo search up the filial spot, where tho bodies are lying. It is highly probable they will fall in with Indians, as plenty sire about, (.'apt. Uraekett's company of dragoons has done no good that we have licar>l of, owing, it is supposed, to want of proper yuiifvs. To scout successfully in tliis country requires, evidently, guides taken from this immediate vicinity. Capt. Ford's company of rangers, when in servico here, seldom had difficulty ir. overhauling the. Indians and chastising them, because tlicy had good guides from this place. By-llieI by, tluil company was a gallant one. * ^ Yon I.j of i/nc ?From tho army and navy diet scales of France and Kiiglaud, which, of course, are based upon ; the recognised necessities of largo numbers , of men in active life, it is inferred that about, two and one-fourth pounds avoirdupois of dry good, per day, ire required for each indivi lual ; for this about three fourths i are vegetable, and the rest animal. ^At Iho ' close of :in entire year, the amount is upr | wards ot 800 pounds. huuincratmg under I the titlo of water all tins various drinks? colfee.
