TWENTY EIGHTH CONGRESS, FIRST SESSION. THURSDAY, JANUARY 4, 1844. SENATE. ' The Secretary of the Senate made the usual annual report in reference to the clerk* of this body. Mr, MILLER presented a memorial from members of the Alexandria bar, praying that the next judge who may be appointed to the Circuit Court of this District, may be required toi reside in Alexandria. Mr. TAPPAN moved to have the Library Committee'discharged from considering the pe tition of one of the gate-keepers of the Capitol, and thai tjie same be referred to the Committee on Public Buildings. Mr. IIUNTINTON presented the memorial of a number of merchants of New York, asking some change in reference to the drawback of du ties in cases of internal navigation between this conntrv and the' British colonies north of us. Mr.rttSIjPS, from the Committee of Claims, made* an adverse report in the case of George Ml* ^ALL&ADGE, from the Codmittee on PuMic IJiiStfe^iiepotteid that this committee had takefo tuto conaiiieration sundry memorial* lor im proving the .navigation of- Fox and Wisconsin rivers, and directing him to report a biit granting land for this purpose. Mr. HANNEGAN, by leave, introdaced a bill making appropriations for the continuance of the Ctfinberland *oad in Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. ffflpK&'W- .; OREGON. . ?;k.! Mr. ARCHER, Chairman'Of tha Committee on Foreign Relations, made his acknowledgments to Mr. AllkH, for not pressing the passage of his re^olutio^. calling on the President to'furnish* copies of instructions to, and correspondence with the American Minister in England, upon the sub ject of the Oregon Territory. Mr. A. withdrew his objections to allow the resolution to pass. The President of the Senate was about to put the question upon the passage of the resolu tion, when Mr, MOREHEAD rose and expressed doubts of the propriety of such a resolution, pending ne gotiation*, and thought the subject ought to be taken into serious consideration. It seemed to himtp be establishing abad precedent. He moved to lay the resolution on the ta|>le. messages: in writing (Executive nomi nations) were received from the President. Mr. ALLEN said it was establishing ho prece dent, for similar auction was as old as the Govern ment itftelf, as the gentleman would find by re curring to the record. The Senator, said Mr. A., asks, " why make this call pending a negotia tion!" My answer is, why calj after, the nego tiation, wbeH. everything is already done for good or for evil ? Mr. A. went on to refer to the Ash burton treaty, which-received two-thirds of the voices of Senators because, and this waft the strongest argument for it, thef'President fiad act edi and the country was already compromitted. He alluded1 to the fact that the English Premier, when questioned in Parliament as to what was the condition of this Oregon matter, replies that such negotiations were pending as would best; promote the welfare of the British Government. Mr. A> e*id he held it to be the right of the Sen. ate, as a part of the treaty making power, to pos sess the information-called for, and remarked that the resolution contained the usual precautionary clettttd, and if the Senator from Kentucky still objected, he should call for the yeas and nays. Mr. MOREHEAD insisted upon his objection, and finally, with the consent of Mr. A, the resolu tion was postponed until Monday next. Mr. MERRICK sent to the Chair a circular let ter from some of his Baltimore constituents upon the subject of the observance of the Lord's Day, which the signers desired to have read in the Senate. Mr. BENTON objected. A bill for the relief of Edward Kenhard was taken up; and, after Bome objection from Mr Hay wood, ordered to be engrossed. Mr. FULTON gave notice of a bill to extend the franking privilege to the ex-Vice Presidents of the United States. The Senate took a short Executive session, and adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Mr. TIBBATTS, of Ky., moved a reconsidera tion of the vote of yesterday, by which the reso lution of Mr. Black, of Georgia, waB lost by one vote. Mr. BLACK moved a call of the House; which was ordered. One hundred and eighty-four members having answered to their names, on motion of Mr. WELLER, the call was suspended. Mr. SAUNDERS moved to lay the motion to reconsider upon the table. . The House, he said, would have an opportunity to vote upon a propo sition similar to that offered by Mr. Black, and one which was pending when the House adjourn ed last evening. The motion to reconsider was laid upon the table. UNFINISHED BUSINESS. The resolution of Mr. McDowell, of Ohio, was the first business in order. It proposed that the Committee of Ways and Means be instructed to bring in a bill providing sufficient revenue for the wants of Government economically administered, And with discriminations only in favor of revenue. The previous question having been moted list evening by the author of the resolution, there was a second this morning. The main question was ordered, and the yeas and nays upon the re solution ; which was rejected, yeas 84, nBys 102. The following resolutions were introduced du ring the day: Calling upon the President for additional cor respondence and information between this Gov ernment and Mexico; laid over. To establish a committee on foreign commerce, in addition to the committee now established ; laid over. Directing the Secretary of War to report any plan he may have for reorganizing the army; laid over. In favor of ced ng the public lands to the States where they lie ; objected to, and laid over. One calling on the Committee of Wavs and Means to report upon the expediency of abolish ing the duty On salt, was adopted. A fourth resolution, on the subject of the Ta riff, was offered; but, under objection, was laid A resolution to inquire iato the expediency of placing the widows of the officers and crew of j the U. S. schooner Grampus on the pension roll; adopted. A resolution to take the bill to refund the fine upon Gin. Jackson oat of committee on 8aturdny next at 3 o'clock, was submitted. This required a vote of two-thirds, and was lost; the vole be ing, ayes 118, nays 60. A bill was introduced, and referred, in favor of remounting the 2d regiment of dragoons. A bill to organize a government for the Ore gon territory was ordered to be plated, and was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations POSTMASTER TO THE HOUSE. When the State of Michigan was called, a member therefrom submitted a resolution that the House do now proceed to the election'ofPost^ master. Mr. ADAMS said this resolution was certainly j not in order, as the House had Suspended the rules yesterday to call the States for resolutions, and this business was not completed. The Speaker overruled the objection. Mr. ADAMS appealed, and the yeas and nays wertf called. The House sustained the Chair by 114 to 57. THE ELECTION. | Mr. Cave Johnson nominated E. R. McNair.

THOMPSON TYLER, dec 12?tf SPECTACLES?My attention nas oeen called te| an article in the public papers and circulated 4a 1 handbills about this city, called Perifocal SpeeUeln, j said to be constructed in accordance with the phi- f losophy of nature, in the form of a Concavo-Coorex Ellipsis. What is meant by the philosophy of nature may be hard to tell, but certainly they are at variance ) rom the laws or principles of Optics, as certainty no 1 Ellipsis can converge the rays of light to a perfect fo They are said not to be the French meniscus I >r Wollaston's periscopic (one and the same eon- J traction of glasses.) The meniscus lens is a truly ;round surface, concave on ooe side; the other side, j ?ossessing a greater degree of sphericity, eonsequent y becomes a magnifying glass. This ip&fes of glass will converge the rays of light the same as a double on vex lens. The application of this form of Ibises i the shape of Spectacles, gives the CyC a gMfcter eld of vision. The celebrated Dr. Brewster, in speaking of these Spectacles says that they give decidedly more imper fect visions than common spectacles, because they in> urease both the aberration of figure and of color; but j they may be of use in a crowded city in warning us f the oblique approach of objects. Now, as spec- j scles are intended to assist nature, and the Eye, the most perfect masterpiece of Divine Mechanism, in its natural state,) every part has the very fom nd office which the laws of opticf require for the most perfect vision of an object Is It not preposterous to ipply a piece of bent concave or convex glass with> ?ut true form or figure to its assistance ? On the con- j trary, is it not reasonable to conclude that their eon- | inued use would destroy the ey6 entirely ? Specta :les are probably the most ancient of all optical in- . itruments, and yet has undergone the least change of uiy. The subject has been well considered by Opti cians throughout all Europe for ages, tind the general conviction is that a truly ground concave or convex I ens is the most suitable for assisting decaying or un natural visions of the human eye.
