From the National Intelligencor, Dec. 15

 The House yesterday, by large majority, refus- ed to consider resolution moved by Mir BARRIN- GER, of North Carolina, pf0p0slng certain specific reductions of the duties on lmposts; and the day be- fore yesterday, by majority of 16 votes, refused to consider proposition of Mir HAYNES, of Georgia to inquire into the expedency of repeating the duties on imported Sugars. These votes certainly indicate an ndsposition to go into the subject of the Tariff at the present moment. It must be borne in mind, how ever, that the whole subject of the Tariff has been referred in the distribution of the parts of the Pres dents Message, to the standing Committees of the House. no less than three committees being charged with it, viz: the Committee on Commerce, the Com mittee on Agriculture, and the Committee on Manu- actures. The refusal to consider these propositions may be owing in part also, to unwlllingness to en- ter into the subject early in the Session MT BARRINGER, indeed, having made hls motion to en- brace positive proposition, and not a motion for in quiry merely wished only to lay it the table for future deliberation The call for the question of con- sideratiOn, however, precluded all other questions and obliged the House to agree to go into the discus sion now or refuse to consider the proposition. In the case of the duty Sugar, perhaps the decision may be considered final for this Session against the repeaL of the duty, as Mir HAYNES motion proposed inquiry merely, which is always granted unless the mind of the House is already made up against the measure proposed to be inquired into.

 At no former Session of Congress have so many accidents happened on the road to Members of Con gress coming here. A few days ago one of the sta ges from Baltimore upset with three Members of Congress in it, who were slightly hurt whilst re- spectabe lady of Georgetown who was also pas- senger, was severely injured Mir SEVER, of Ar kansas has just arrived with his collarbone broke, having left Mir BIBB, of the Senate, behind him, both having been overturned in the stage. Mir SE- vIER is able to attend the House, and MT BIBB, not being severely hurt, may be expected here in few d., Mr. Trsr i~ aIs au to tba ha- wing sufficiently recovered to be able to travel in private conveyance.

 MrTAzEwELL, of the Senate is, we hear, detain- ed at home by indisposition.
