 MT. Little accompanied this report with few verbal explanations, stating that the committee proposed to establish the ratio of representation at one member to 1000 inhabitants. This rate it was believed by the committee, would continue in the House about the present number of mem bers, which number it was not wished to increase. These remarks, however, were intended chiefly to draw the attention of the House to the subject general ly-every gentleman would of course, be able to make the calculation for himself.

 The bill was twice read, and madethe order of the day for tomorrow.

 Friday, Jan. 5.

 The House was again engaged on the bill to provide for the surviving officers of the army of the revolution, which was act- ed on in Committee of the Whole. The amendatory bill, reported by Mir. Burges, and moved by him as an amendment was re- jected; and the old bill, which embraces both officers and soldiers, passed through the committee, and was reported to the House with blanks filled. The amend ment as now proposed covers every branch of the army. It in the first place provi- des for the distribution of$8OO,OOO among the oficers,an then gives $2OO,OOO to the widows of the deceased officers. To the officers and soldiers who are not provided for by this provision, it appropriates 1,20- O,OOO: and to the widows of those who are deceased of this last class, it gives SS- OO,OOO. It embraces all classes, as we'll as those who served from 1782 to the end ofthe war. It ought, therefore, to satisfy all. The Journal of Saturday says-this he fate ofthe bill will probably be decided, IS there appears to be a very proper dispo- aition on the part of the House not to waste sine in the discussion of a bill on which eve- ry member must have made up his mind long since.
