He, therefore, moved to lay the bill, Vor the preseut, on the table ; which motion was agreed to. FHihjft 19. On motion of Mr. Johtuon of Ky.

Mr. l'ickf ns moved that the bill be amended by inserting a proviso that no retailer of imported salt whose stock does not exceed 100 dollars, shall be com|>elled to take out license. The motion was agreed to? after which the commit tee of the whole proceeded to consider tUs bill from the Senate to increase the compensutiou of our ministers resident at the courts of London, Paris and St. Petersburg, to the sum of 13,000 dollars, instead of the present allowance of 9000 dollars per annum. Tlie committee rose, report ed their amendments to the bill first considered, which were concurred in,and the bill ordered to a third reading. The House adjourned. The session of C nnuress is drawing to aclohc very rapidly. The '1 ari IT bill, now before the Senate, ih the only measure which appears like ly to occupy much of tlie time of Congress Ins fore its adjournment.

The adjournment will, however, prob ably take place hi the course of the next week. The Tarift'bill yesterday principally occupied the attention of the Senate. Considerable pro gress was made in it.
