The House . . adopted a resolutiOn'in the morningjthat all de hatesi o the Revenue 'l3lll should cease at 12 o'- 'clock. Mr. parnatirs Bill, to legalize the Collec tion o f duties since the first of July last, was then taken pp, when C. .1. Ingersoll offered- his Tariff Bill as ' [ a substitute. The vote was taken on the subsiitine,`'.when only 38 members voted for it. Hr,iMcKennan's Bill was the neat Substitute propeisi'd. This Bill was virtually the lute Ta riff Hiß, separated from the Distribution Act, and eempting Tea and Coffee from duty when imported into the United States in 'American ves sels, from .beyond the Cape of Good Hope. A mendMents were proposed and rejected, when the -vote being called upon the substitute, the House decided to take McKennan's BR by a vote of 99 - to 67 TIM Bill was then reported to' the House, and a - scenix of great excitement followed, for an hour. The that vote was upon concurring wAlt the re- port, of the Committee, by substituting Mr. Mc Kerinim's hill for that from' the Judiciary Com mittee, the 'result was as follows c Fur the bill 109—against 4.99. The question next being called upon its en grossnient, the vote was taken in the midst of in tense anxiety and feeling; the result wits 101 to 101. , The enemies of the bill received the an nouncement with great applause. Mn R. W. Thompson moved a reconsidera-, tion, when Messrs. Stanly and Andrews, who . had not voteilbefore, requested the privi:egei , of voting, which being granted, they ho•h. Owe their 'Voices for the engrossment, in ajone which told their sincerity--making the vote, Ayes 105, Noes 102. The. Holise, , 'Nluring all this time, was in a - complete hubbub, antietron every countenance, and" as the different votes ivdu, recorded and read, a great feeling of anxiety was manifested. The question now, came up upon the passage of the bill, when, the aye's and noes being de manded, the vote stood as follows : • Yeas—Messrs: Allen, LandalT, W. Andrews, Sherlock J.

Many . of 'them, no doubt, had internally resolved never to suCcumb to '3ohn Tyler's dictation. But they were all patriots—all good, holiest men, and when the in terest of a suffering country rose up before their eyes, they, with a desire only,for the reliefof the country, and with a disregard Of self as Praise worthy as it was noble, passed the - Bill .without the Distribution clause. The following remarks, from the talented edit ofs of the National .Intelligencer, in relation to the feelings which induced our Representatives to waive all resistance, and vote fur the bill; are excellent : "We do n'ot remember ever to have witnessed Luring thirty-hve years attendence en the House of Representatives, a more exciting scene, a sieve rer contest, a greater earnestneis andeelf-deVotiou; than characterized the proceedings and• votes of yesterday. About four fifths of the votes in favor- of the bill, it will be seen, on reference to the yeas and nays, were given by the Whigs, the residue of the gentlemen of that-party not having been able to bring themitelves to vote for, tile bill, some of them voting against it on the general ground of objection to_the duties imposed by It, others under an idea that to pass the bill would be a submission of the Legislative authority to the Executive power. The scruples of gentlemen on either ground we know how to respect. Re sistance to usurped - iii abused power especially, will aliSitys command our admiration.—But what we yet more admire, if possible, is the self:devo tion exhibited yesterday by some individuals who, with-a' full knowledge of the aversion of their constituents to the Passage of a Tariff bili with out the land clause, felt it to be their duty, as Representatives of the whole Union, to vote for a bill the passage of which the interests of the three fourths of the People of the Union, the sufferings of a distressed People, and the necessities of the Government, imperiously required. Nor do the gentlemen who thus voted sacrifice, in our opin ion, any principle. They yield, nothing to the President, whose will, but for the ennstitutinnal provision whisli confers'on him the Veto power, would stand for nothing in the question. They yield - only to the constitutional provision, which is as odious to us as it can possibly be to them, but which neither our opinion nor theirs can change. The requirements of the constitution, which we cannot change; nor yet successfully resist by any. votes or action of ours, it benomes a political necessity to yield to. in any case where useful action cannot be effected without such, concession. With great deference, 'therefore', for the opinions of those of our friends . who think dif ferently, the case had, in our pidgment, arisen when it became perfectly consistent with the most,ardent patriotism to yield. in a great exigen cy, the pride of opinion to the demands of an im perious public necessity. Of the party in the House in opposition to the Whigs, a few only were found willing to contri bute to the relief of the starving operatives in all brandies of industry, to the paralyzed enterprise and energies of the country, and the absoluic necessities of the Government.. To those few let the credit be - given to which by this con duct on theirqrart, they have well entitled theili selves." ' ' Immediate' after the Bill passed, it was sent to the Senate read twice and referred Ices com mittee. The committee, on Wednesday. reported the Bill'with amendments, virhich has created en impression h at it will not pass that body--or if it does, with sundry amendments, which the House perhapi in its present mood, will not concur in. For the purpose of givi g our readers all the light in, our possession on t is subject—we quote the following extracts fro Washington corres pondents. "Oliver Oldschi ol," the correspondent of the United States Gazet e, wraes'as follows: evenue td" 'd pa,- .t no I Lie o :eve u not it I I cor maki w " It is very dmilitful if the evenue bill can pass the Scnato c at all ; hut if it shopld pass with amendments, it wilrsertain ly fail in the H, use. It is doubtful. in fact, w tether the [louse will ave a quorum left after this week, or after Thursday r Friday. • 'any mem hers have gone to day, andMict e are on the eve of de .parture. What is to he done lost be dorm quickly.' The.objection to the Reve ue Bull passed by the House. with some, is, that ' leaves the new States their 500,0q0 acres of I each, and their ten per cent ( fititi they had hefo . making fifteen) 'upon the - „ sales of the. Public Lands, w le the old States get nothing. Thus left, the new Stakec may not, here after, be disposed to pass another -distribut ion law, being content with what they have sot: and leaving the old States to get what they can. Several Whig Senators are at present opposed to th \. . bill, though it is said thy fouenf the other side will vote for it —Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Sturgeon, Mr. Wright and one other—some !say Benton.' • Tho correspondent of the N Y. Corfamercial ? • ' Advertiser, says : "The Committee in the Senate will re ort it back on Wednesday morning, with sonic i portant a mendments, calculated to make it even ore accept able to both houses, which will occu y some days, consideration. Ido not entertain an dotibi of the ultimate passage of the bill, by some f ur or five ma jority. It may be less, but it will u ookt:city pass. I am informed by competent all iority that the President will assuredly sign the bill.' Horace Greely. the editor of Tribune, on the receipt of the I iv° by the-House treys: •• We caution bur readers not t reliance on the ?pinion of our c i this bill will' be carried throe i doubt it seriously." T FATAL ACCIDENT/-lAre regret to notice the occurrence of a serious accident, which took place at Crosland & Christ's' mines on Friday last, in consegnencti of which two miners Peter Weaver mid William Smith we're killed. We learn that it was owing mainly to careleuness on tho part of the workmen, in working the gangway too far without propping. Mr. Weaver was mining alone when a large quantity of slate fell crushing him horribly.: William Smith•end Reese Davis were endeavoring' to extricate him, when another'rall , took place, so injuring the former that he died soon after. Mr. Davis,,who was also much hurt, it is supposed will recover:, Mr. Peate's Exhibition of the Hydro Oxygen Microscope, has given very general satisfaction, and as it will be' continued for 110108 time longer, we would advise our friends to call.

There is no more crowing, however, by Chap man. It will turn out, I think, when the full re turns are -received, that the Whigs have a major ity on joint ballot. Tho news of the passage yesterday, by the House, of the Tariff bill, caused a considerable .sensation in this city. Thu result of the election in Missouri is most surrising. The Whigs, after a hard fight, have carried many of the heretofore strong Loco Foco counticS, and the imliression at St. Louis is, that had the Whigs, in the undoubted Whig counties, maintained their ground, - and not allowed them selves to be split up by divisions, the Legislature in one or both of its houses, would have been Whig. This is inauspicious for Mr. Thomas Hart Benton. 'rlie Maryland IVhig Convention meets in this city to-morrow, for the purpose of making a nom ination for President. No ono thinks of any oth er person than Henry Clay and he will be nomi nated by an unanimous vote. The Idadisonian concludes a lung article on the veto with the followin; recapitulation of its aiticles of faith in religion and politics: „We believe in the Christian religion, though ever so unworthy of the name of Christian... We believe in the special interposition of Divine Prov idence in behalf of His favored People. We be lieve America is under His special protection.— We believe that John Tyler is the instrument se lected to work out his will, We believe our country is destined to prosper in spite of the devi ces of gambling politicians." We suppose that every Tyler Office holder will hereafter be required to 'incorporate the above in his morning and evening devotions, if he wishes to continue to eat from thepublic crib.--Danville Democrat. Let those who applauded the late vetoes, con sider attentively the following remarks from the Lynchburg Virginian : “When such a President as John Tyler—so weak as a man—so unpopular as an , officer— without a party—scorned alike by those who 'de nounce an! by those who flatter him—when such a President can with impunity thus act, what might not he done by a man of different mould some Napoleon; rash and.ambitious--'-going into office the idol of the people, and with-1k tri 7 umphant majority ready to do hig"bidding ? Does not the faOt that the impudent and unpopu lar John Tyler can thus, without difficulty, thwart the public will, satisfy every observing mind that the Executive is too strong, and that the only guaranty for the preservation of the public liberties is to strip him of the power which experience has shown may be so grossly abused."

Mr. Mc- Kennan has pursued a course in relation to the Revenue Bill which, upon calm reflection, will be pronounced by men of all parties, indicative of the best qualities which a people could desire in their Representative. •He has taken the lead in a measure, which few had the courage to at tempt; and by the influence which always at tends superior intellect, united with manifest in tegrity, he has succeeded in carrying that mea sure through, in the face of vast opposition of principle, feeling and interest, both from political friends and foes. For this act Mr. McKennan will be remembered with gratitude. He has still . ed the excitement which raged in the Capitol and spread itself over the country, in a manner wor thy of Henry Clay himself. And, by The way, how do you think this picture looks l For President, HENRY CLAY, of Kentucky Force President, THOS. McKENNAN, of Pennsylvania.

The Whigs are moving here preparatory to the fall elections. I hope The body as well as the limbs of the party will prove active when the day of trial comes• I feel, no hesitation in saying that it will require hard wark by all hands to keep the political mill going here as it has been for some years back. • A grand high mass is to becelebrated here to morrow, for the repose of the soul of the late Duke of Orleans.

Why did your compositor make me say that John Tyler has crossed the "rubicuni" instead of the Rubicon as I wrote it of course"!

The receipts of Coal at Fairmount, up to last night, amounted to 211,490 tons, 17 cwt. FOR THE MINEES ' JOURNAL The Revenue Bill. It appears by the papers of this evening, tth inst.) - that a new Revenue Bill has passed the House of Representatives at Washington, by an almost tie vote-105 to 103, leaving out the div tribution of the proceeds of the Public Land;, and the duties on Tea-and Coffee when imported be yond the Cape of Good Hope, in American ves sels. - The vote appears not to have been a party one, Whigs and Locofocos having changed sides and partners—Adams, Wise, and Gilmer among the goats, and the two Charleys, of the Third District, with the constant and worthy J. R. In gersoll and G. W. Toland, among the sheep ; going for their suffering country, and swallowing the insult of the madinm, who by accident has attained the Executive Chair, which he has pol luted and desecrated by his peifidy and hypocrisy --and why are such things permitted, but by party folly and blindness ! In other days, until the reign of Augustus, and before Tiberius as sumed authority "not only without law, but' in violation of the law," as was said in the Senate, had a President of the United States arrogated to himself a little of the dictatorial presumption of this "per se" creature of chalice and accident— Federalists, Democrats, Whigs, Locofocos, or whatever distinguishing name the parties fought under, would have forgotten- all their minor dis putes, and have rallied to a man to save the Insti tutions of their common country, and have hurl ed the presumptive despot, with execration from his seat. But now, alas ! how changed ;the times —how changed the men ! and •it almost seems that a President of the United States, if he were "to rob.a church or kill a negro," he Would find, a party of "honorable!' men in Congress to sup port and sustain him ! A Gilmer or an Inger soll to make a "minority report," to argue the case for him, and like fee'd lawyers, as they no doubt were, for gentlemen of "high stand" at the bar are not very ready to defend rich criminals without a good fee. The Honorable Messrs. 'Crittenden and Marshall, (our fellow Whigs too, be it admitted) did not desert their places in Con gress, where duty and principle ought to have kept them to attend to their constituentsbusiness, to defend the "respectble gentleman," Colonel Edwards, without a, substantial "retainer" and a corresponding "contingency I" • Thus John Tyler, contemptible as ho is, and wholly . incompetent for his exalted station, is not the nilly culpable being of the 'nation. We may all, as a people, say with the sinners" and the. saints, from the Book of Common Prayer—"We havo cried and strayed like last sheep—we have "left undone those things which we ought to "have done, and we have done those thing which "we. ought not to have done, and there is no health in us!" After the Senate shall have passed also, the Revenue Bill, and if, peradventure, the President shall have a lucid inlerva/ in his insanity, and sign it r suspending: fora time his "veto and ditto" power, I reconiniend :Congress to fall on their knees, (probably a very unusual posture with the most of them) and humbly repeat that prayer in expiation of their own manifold sins of omission as ,well as aOmMfation—and that Heaven may re store the President of the United. States to his sound intellect, or mercifully remove him, since a President cannot by impeiched successfUlly, and give us both an honeit and a /acid man in his place, to ,restor e peace and happiness to our sun faring, and much, insulted country.

It has already been partially mentioned in our, columns, but we will briefly state all' the circumstances. The Legislature had been convened in, extra session for the purpose of dividing the State iota districts according ti; the Apportionment Act of Congress. Pearly three werks were spent in ef forts to frame a hill" acceptable to the democratic' majority which ruled a both branches of the Legisls tute. At last the majority obtained a Bill which met their peculiar wishes as fully as possible,— Unless it had been accompanied by a clause , ban - ishing every Wbig from-the State, which We pre sume would be done if the power exivted for the purpose. That bill was met by the minority with the most earnest denunciation, and well it merited the abhorrence which it excited. A word or two will explain Its most odious features. The State is entitled to twenty-one Conates :liana! Districts, the average population of which should be about 74,000- With this guide, the duty of the majority was plain and easy,---namely, to make twenty-one equally populous aistFicts. But instead of this, the Bill was framed so as to make the greatest possible number of Democratic' Ws tricts,—no reference whatever being had to their respective population, and - very little to their geo graphical unity. Instead of forming the Districts of contigu7h a territory, there were strips of ono or two hundred miles between extremes of the sahie districts. So it is stated. But to prove more particularly the atrocious frauds contemplated in the Bill, we cite the list of Districts which it created, their respec z tivo majorities which they gave in the gutiermito rial election of 1810.

We du not wonder that the outrageous !pip ny meditated and insisted upon try this arran'o inent, exasperated the IVhig members of the Erg. islature to a degree which drove them to desert the body altogether. This step they took, when the Bill, in defiance of every republican principle and of the paramount federal statute, was stout to lie actually and finally passed." ' l'he N. V.
