FROM THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.

CONGRESS.

The fate of the bill to amend the Judiciary system of the United States is at length determined in the House of Representatives; it having been yesterday ordered to a third reading in that Body, by a vote of 132 to 59. Perhaps no measure before Congress was ever more thoroughly debated, than this has been; and the decisive majority for its third reading is a strong testimony in favor of the measure. We have heard, from private sources, that the bill, besides being demanded by the wants of the West, and approved by so large a majority of the Representatives of the People, has the approbation of our most eminent jurists.—These last admit there are objections to the measure, but consider them counterbalanced by the positive benefits which it offers, constituting, as they do, an almost imperative necessity for this measure, or for some other liable to greater objections than it is.

The bill, as passed, it will be recollected, proposes to add three to the present number of Associate Judges of the United States, thus increasing the number of circuits of the United States' Courts from seven to ten.
