Hon-, then, out of these 90 or 91 millions of; dutiable goods are we toraise a revenue of ; 26 millions? No man, I presume, w<ll rise here in his place and say that we are to rely either on direct or internal taxes. Who has the temerity to ineer the waves of popular indigation which will flow round and bury him, whoever he maybe, that should propose, in ! time of peace, to raise a revenue by direct 1 '' taxation ? Yet this is the only resource to fly 9- to, save the procee s of the public lands, on which I shall speak presently, and which I can satisfy any man is not to bo thought of. j You are. ther fore to draw this amount of 2o millions from the 91 millions ol dutiable artic. les imported- and. to reat h "hatsum, at what rate Der cent must vou ? #.* J nhall here say noth'ng, or but a word or two, on the subject of home valuation?, . a subject which a friend has care of,(Mr. Simmons,) than whoin none is more I competent to its full elurlication. Me . ? thinks, ns 1 understand, that there can! be devised a satisfactory system of such valuation, and f heartily wish him sue- J cass in the atteuijrt. I will only say that, i in my opinion, if we raise hut ten mil- | lions, without any reference to protection. ; > without referonce to any tiinj but to; mere honest v, however small the amount "*"*> may be, we should oursclv s assess tho va- j Jue of tho goods on which we lay the j duty, and not b.uve that value to be fixed j by f':rhtjrners. As things now stand, we i ilay the duty, but foreigners fixlhe value i of the goods, (iive me but the power of fixing the value of the goods, and i care little, in comparison, what may be the rate of duty you impose. It is evident that on the ad valorem principle it is the i "V /"Tn'i2l_ f* fPinnor u.ti r> virf no II*,* f* vf>? thr? artlial . .v. " . fc-.M ?..w ^ ....... amount of the duty paid. It is the foreigner. who. bv fixing that value, virtual ly legislates for us; and that in a case; where his interest is direody opposed to r^E7Ts; that of our revenue. I say, therefore, '-that independent of h!I considerations o! > protection, independent ??f all ends or j : motives hut the prevention of tho>e in- j .famous frauds which have been the d.s- I grace of our custom- oust-?frauds in which the foreigner, with his double and triple and quadruple invoices, ready to be produced as circumstances may require, fixes the valuo ofthe merchandise taxed?everv consideration of national j * d'gnity, justice, and indepcdcncc do- j inamls the substitution of home valuation j in the place of foreign. What eflfcct j such a change may have in the augmentation of the revenue I am not prepated to say, l>ecause I do not know the amount: i y v- t i think the rate may he set down at from j twenty to twenty-five per cent, in addu ! , ....tion to the foreign value of imports. I . .:Ap-. : jdo not speak wilh great confidence. If the rate is twenty-five per cent., then it j would add only five per cent, to tlie rate 1 of twenty per cent, established by the,1 . : comprimiise act. Of course, if the home be substituted for the foreign valuation, the augmentation ofduties beyond twenr ty per cent-, will be less by that home va. tuation, whatever it may be. Without, however, entering into the question ol j .1%. hoinc valuation, and leaving that subject to be arranged hereafter, I shall treat the subject as if the present system of foreign valuation is to continue. I then return to the inquiry, on an importation amounting to ninety-one mil. v lions, how much duty must he imposed in SS i * ? ? - ?.. _ . c . ... oruer 10 raise a non revenue u? i nix millions? The question docs not ml; ... 1 , . X. ,m* ?' P0"00* accuracy; the utmost tout "> can Ihj reached is a reasonable approximation. Suppose every one ol the imported articles to be subject to a duty of . thirty percent., then the gross revenue | will amount to $*27,3i)(MHH). Deducting | the expenses of collection, which m*iv ho j ^stated at $l,60i),000, will give $25,700,- ! 000, or throe hundred thousand dollars v less than the proposed amount of twenty. .; six millions. But I might as well take this opportun ity to explain n subject which is not weil r'" understood. It has been supposed, when I propose to fix a rate of ad valorem duty i as the maximum to he allowed, that my j f meaning is, that all articles, of every do suription, are to be carried up t-? that j point, and fixed at that rate, as on a sort died of Procrustes. But that is not inv ??"idea. No doubt certain articles ought to igo up to the maximum?I mean those of i - prime necessity belonging to the class of * protected articles. There are others others of small bulk and great compare. ! five value, and therefore easily smuggled, and presenting a great temptation to the j evasion of duty, which ought not to lie wnMr.^tr/1 to n less rate. There should. ! ? - . , therefore be a discrimination allowed uri. i i * - V der the maximum rate according to the! exigency of the respective circumstances ! of each particular interest concerned.) Since it will require a d ity of thirty per cent, on all articles to give the amount of twenty five million seven hundred thou sand dollars, and since some of them will not hear so high a duty as thirty per cent., * it follows that less than that rate will certainly not answer the necessary de\v, inands of the Government, and it may in some particular cases require a rate somewhat higher than that in o'der to raise the proposed sum of twenty s x mil. Ri,? a<j thn reserved fund of two millions for contingencies will not require an annual revenue for that purpose, should the amount 01 duties levied he loss than twenty-six millions, or even between twenty.four and twenty-five-millions, the reserved tund may be made u|> bv accumulations, during successive years, and atil! leave an amount .sufficient -to meet an annual expenditure ot twentv-two millions and two millions for the public debt. r m ? . /> , [ fo ce isoiuuiuea.j ONK SPUK K\OlGH, Ap Irish gorvtlt\aan went into a haid' : -ti. ;*. \ s&fc*. * i, mam ~~U!-" ware shop some time since, and inquired oi* the shop keeper if he had spurs?

This was the day for offering resolutions in the Ilousc. The States were, accordugly, called for resolutions, beginning wi:h North-Carolina, whore tho call was nterrupted a fortnight ago. Mr. Stanly uffered a resolution changing the rules so is to enable a bare majority of the House o take any bill out Committee of the Whole, stop debate on the same, and take die vote on all the pending amendments. Much opposition whs manifested to the proposition by all the democratic members, but it was finally adopted by a ma lority of five. Several attempts were made, but withnut success, to call up the order of the dov ?the Loan bill. The call for resolutions continued till it reached Ohio. Mr. Giddings, an abolition member, offered a scries of resolution* on [be Creole case, maintaining that the slaves, under the Constitution of tlu. United States, became free, after having heeii carried, by sea, and with the consent of their owners, beyond the jurisdiction of the places where they were held as slaves. A motion to lay the resolutions on the table was rejected, 58 to 125?many members wishing to obtain a direct vote jpon them. The previous question on the adoption >f the resolutions was ordered, 122 to 61. Several members then began to ask to he excused from voting?Mr. Everett on the ground that the subject was before the Committee on Foreign Relations and he lid not wish to commit himself by a vote now?Mr. Fessonden, because he had not time to consider the question, and Mr. Gushing because the resolutions were British arguments, and treasonable to the United States; none were excused. Mr. Giddings then rose and offcro 1 to withdraw his resolutions, finding that he had raised a storm that he was unable to item. After some question of his right to do so, he was allowed to withdraw them. M. Br.tt.s thon moved a resolution ccnsuring, Mr. Giddings for offering such h proposition?but, as Virginia had been called, he was not in order, Mr. Welter, of Ohio, offered the same resolution of censure, and Mr. Botts moved the previous question. Mr. (biddings demanded time to prepare for his defenoe, till Thursday week. Mr. Wise objected to hearing the defence unless the accusers could also he heard in reply. To allow Mr. Giddings to speak, while our mouths were shut by the pre. viotis question would be to give Mr. G. and the abolitionists a great advantage. A debate arose on the postponement and it was suggested that no one but the delinquent had a right to speak, as the previous question had !>oen moved. The Speaker decided that the previous question could not he entertained without cutting off Mr. Giddings' defence. Mr. Fillmore appealed, and then, it being 5 o'clock, the House adjourned. This affair will occupy some time. As a privileged question, it will come up tomorrow as soon as the House meets. This is another obstacle in the way of business ?another firebrand hurled into the House. [On the 2'2d. the question came up again, unci after several motions, the resolntionof censure was adopted, yeas 123, nays 69. The preamble stating the ground of censure was then.adoptee, 119 to 63. Mr. Wise in one of his puerile fits refused to vote. On the 23d Mr. Giddings resigned his seat, with an intention doubtless of being a candidate for re-election.] The Constitution drafted by the Rhode Island Constitutional Convention, called by the Legislature, is to be submitted to the people on the 21st, 22d, and 23d of March.

The "box tunnel," which formes one of its principal features, pierces through Box Hill, between Chippenham and Bath?part of which is 400 feet above the Ic-Vel of the railway. The funnel is 9,6*?0 feel 1 >ng 39 high, and 25 wide, to the ou'side of brick work and ma. sonry to more than 54,000 ciibicyarc's. About 80,000,000 of bricks were used. A ton of gun. powder and a ton of canities were consumed every week for two and a half years, and i,* 1 100 me.i and 250 horses were constantly employed. For a considerable distance the tunnel passes through froeton rock, from the fissures of which there was at times an immense influx of waier. 7'his formed such an impediment, that the work was on one occasion discontinued for a long time. But the water was finally pumped out through the agency of a steam engine of 50 horse power, which threw it out ai the rate of 82,000 hogsheads a day. Tiie contractors, Messrs.

Cultivator.?Hens will lay eggs per* pettually, if treated in the following manner. Keep no rooBters; give the hens fresh meat, I chopped fine like sausage mea?, once a day, a | very small portion, say half an ounce a day to I pach hen, during1 winter, or from the time insects disappear in the f ill, till tb .y apoear again in the spring. Never allow any eggs to remain in the nest; for what is called nt*t eggs. When the roosters do not run with the hens, and no nest eggs arc left in the nest, the I hens will not cease laying af*er the production of twelve or flt'een fggn.asthry always do when roosters and ne9t eggs are allowed; but [continue laying perpetually. My nens always Uy all winter, and each from seventyfive",to one hundred rgga in succession. If the above plan were generally followed eggs would be just as plenty in winter as in summer The only reason why hens do not lay in winter as freely as in summer, is the want ofa/timalfood, which they g*t in summer in abundance in the form of insects. I hare 'or several winters reduced my theory to practice, and proved its entire correctness, It must be observed that the presence of the male is not necessary lor the production of eggs, as they are formed whether the male be present or not Of course such eggs will not produce chickens. When chickens ate wanted, the roosters must of course run with the hens. B. A Teetotalers Sign.?As a newly pledged Washingtonian was passing the Streets, a few weeks since, he was thus hailed hv an old Rurn companion: 44 I say Tom, they tell inc you've become a teetotaler." * Yes," was the reply, and I'm proud of it, and wish you would he one, too. I have been a drunkard, a loafer, and almost every thing else, for the last three years; and thank God, it has made a man again!" The companion hardly knew what to say to this; at length, he added in a jocular manner. Well, Tom, they say you teetotalers have a sign, to know each other by? won't you tell an old crony what it is?" - ^ ' I ^ ?? A " uertainiy ; wo- nnve a mosi exccncm sign," added Tom, pulling out a double handfull of half dollars, and shaking them in the face of his former companion, and said, " This is the teetotaler's sign !" This proved a knock-down argument, and the other promised to sign at the next meeting, for he liked their sign.? Organ. At the last C. C.
