Solthall was called to the Chair pro tern. A Committee of seventeen, hoaded by Gen. Edward Watts, was appointed to nominate officers, who reported the name of Bexj. Wat- kins Leigh for President, with ten eminent citi¬ zens as Vice President» and four Secretaries. Speeches were made by the President, by Andrew Hunter of Jefferson and John Jannev of Lou- doun. In the evening, the Convention was ad¬ dressed by Richard H. Toler and Hon. «Ioiln M. Borra with great eloquence and force. Or. Thursday morning a Committee of seven¬ teen .-'ae appointed to nominate a t.cket of Pres¬ idential Electors ; a similar Committee to repoi t the names of seventeen Delegates to Baltimore, and a third to report an Address to the People.

A Mass Convention was agreed on, to be held at Augusta next summer, and a Committee ap¬ pointed to address Mr. Clay and aBk him to visit the State.if convenient, at the time the Mass Convention may be held..The meeting was not large, but will do as a beginning.

The bill, we hear, is accompa¬ nied by a long and able Report, fully vindicating the expediency and necessity of such enactment, of which the House has ordered the printing of ten time-i the usual number..-So far, well; but the Legislature has gone as far as this several times before. Public Opinion is ripe now, as it probably has not been hitherto, for the enactment of such laws us the Committee hero propose, and we trust the session will not be suffered to glide away in their absence. We venture to assure Mr. Allen that the People will look to him to press the matter he has reported as the most im- -portant measuro of the Session, and that, should he fail to do so, promptly and steadily, there are many thousands who will regret his course, and will not stop at regretting it. We do hope he will see the propriety of energetic action in the premises, and that the Committee and the House will second his exertions. All we ask is a re¬ cord of the Yeas and Nays on this measure ; and if it is not carried this Session we are confident it will be at the next. The following arc the proceedings in the As¬ sembly on the introduction of this bill, as report¬ ed in the Argus: Mr. Allen (from the Judieiary Committee, to 'which were referred ihn numerous" petitions for the punishment of seduction and adulter«. ) reported a bill to Prevent Licentiousness. The bill was accompanied bv a report in writing. the printing of üve times the usual number of which were moved by Mr. Humürd. The bill is substan¬ tially the bill ol lust year, und inflicting penalties of fine and imprisonment for the offences» named in the petitions. The report was read, when Mr. Palmer moved the printine: of ten times the usual number of the report.saying that it wat* a document that would not perhaps find its way gener¬ ally into the newspapers of the day ; and it waa very desirable that it should have a general circula¬ tion. Mr. Huntington accorded in opinion with the gentleman lust up, that the communitv would be eminently beaefuted by a general circulation of this document; and that it it was to have such circula¬ tion, it must be mainly through the omcial publica¬ tions ordered by the House. "There was a morbid seusibility on the part of the community.-a sort ol* sham modesty.that operated so far upon the press as to keep every thing of tins sort out of the papers. There was perhaps a deeper cause for this, which he need not remark upon. It was enough to know that the document would not and its way into the papers, to make an exception to its general*rule, and pnnt a larger number than usual in this ease! He seconded the motion for ten times. .Mr. Hl'LBCRD assented to that modification of his motion, and Ten times the usual number were ordered. *~.¦ Sy Boston is full of life and business. Houses are going up rapidly, especially in the neighborhood of the Worcester Depot and th*a noble United States Hotel, which were but recently in the Southern suburb of the town, but are now in the heart of bu¬ siness, the centre of a growing wilderness of brick and mortar. We expect to see the Exchange and Post Office located in that vicinitv vet, if laud enough can be found or made for th«m."

Dear Sir.I am en route for Dublin, where I expect to remain during the State Trials, pro¬ vided, that, they do not, as is anticipated by some, continue to the 4* Crack of Doom." The Government has already taken a step which is calculated to cause a deep feeling of exasperation amongst all Repealers, and to produce, instanta¬ neously, a sympathy in the bosoms of liberal Englishmen, for O'Conncll and his co-patriots. Not a single Roman Catholic has been permitted to remain on the panel. Here then, we see the strong, ruthless and unprincipled hand of the Government, displayed at once.a hand red with the gore of ages, and perhaps destined to receive a still bloodier hue before many months. That a general Revolution will convulse Ireland in the event of O'Conncll's imprisonment, I do not anti¬ cipate ; but that erneutes may "occur is highly pro¬ bable. How unequal is British Rule in its action upon different persons and things ! Right in the heart of England have I beheld the leaders of a league holding large meetings.haranguing tre¬ mendous-, masses.and receiving money from them for the purpose of obtaining the abolition of a law which is oppressive upon the middle and lower classes. The Corn Law League lifts its terrible mace.the shadow is already falling upon the dignitaries of Downing street.yet, no bayoneta glitter around the meetings.none of their leaders are indicted.Cobden, Bright &Co. traverse and agitate the fast anchored Isle from centre to circumference.Oh, no '. they are Eng¬ lishmen. But in Ireland, the holding of large meetings.the harangues of leaders and the col¬ lection of money for the purpose of gaining the peaceable abolition of a law.ah, this is all sedi¬ tion.this is intimidation of the Government. and the leaders are indicted, seize«d and tried ! This is glorious British Justice ! The Repeal business docs not cause as much sensation in England as one on your side of the water would probably suppose. The higher classes of course care nothing about it, so long as they can enjoy their monopolies undisturbed, they care but little about union or disunion. The middle class arc looking after their pounds, shillings and pence, and tiie lower classes who must sweat and bleed for their masters, can only think of their own ne¬ cessities and wrongs. I do not mean to say, that Irish affairs are not a topic of discourse, but merelv that they arc viewed with but little real solicitation. That portion of the President's message which relates to Texas, commands the most attention from the English Press and public. In a Cotton Circular just issued, the idea is advanced that England should induce Texas to abolish slavery when the " One Star" would be swept to some purpose by the Downing street telescope. In such case, says the Circular, Great Britain would be independent of the slave Cotton growing states. That England will intrigue for such a consum¬ mation is probable. Temperance has made some progress and af¬ fected some good here, but the English are still dreadfully addicted to the demons of the grape and still. At no period were the Americans such huge drinkers as these people of England. Hun¬ dreds of thousands sit night after night in Tap Rooms, discussing the merits of Brandy, Ale and Tobacco. Owing to the scientific mode of swal¬ lowing liquor and their phlegmatic temperaments, the English rarely exhibit the excitiment of intox¬ ication. They swill, and swill, and swill, adding quietly to their fat and bestiality. Mrs. Giimorc's trial commenced in Edinburgh yesterday. The Marquis of Salisbury 1ms renounced Free¬ masonry.owing, it if» said, to hin rejection as Grand Master.

The Thame was again smoothly frozen over, but the boat, hea«. ily freighted, came through ihe ice steadily thoug slowly. After leaving New-London there was litt] ice, and that floating, till within thirty miles of Ne« York, but on approaching Throe's Neck an intei eating spectacle wad presented. The morning wo brilliant and cloudless : the Sound was frozen froi shore to shore, the undisturbed ice perhaps si inches thick; that where the boats had broke through on previous days was about two inches. Her at 7 yesterday morning, as the New-Haven enicre it, were three or lour other steamboats, worryin through it in different directions, while a signal froi the Narragansett proclaimed that she was in iroubh She had left this City at the preceding night, an about 8 had been crippled by breaking her rock-sha in battling ihe ice. Fortunately,theMoheganwaslhe just behind, having been despatched to Stoningto for freight, and, coming along side, took off her pas sengers and Mails and proceeded on the trip..Capí Dustan, observing her situation, left his course i the thin and broke through the thick ice to the Nai ragansett, going round her so as to make a cica path for her to return to this City. The New- Have then resumed her course and reached this City by A. M. though the mass of drift ice occupying he place against the dock prevented her landing he passengers till nearly 10. . We trust the perils and sacrifices incident keeping open the Sound and running daily lines Boston in winter, when tb'.re are few passenger? will be remembered by the traveling public when the water being clear and passengers abundant somebody starts an opposition to Boston for two e three dollars. During the cold week, the Stoning ton line took a train of passengers from Boston oi .Monday evening, started them for this city in tin Narragansett, and, after two unsuccessful attempt! to come through, landed them again at Stonington took them back to Boston, and paid them back tc cry dollar of their fare. We may say this was n. more than right, but so many do less than right thai we really think the circumstance worth mentioning If corporations have no souls, it is the more cred¬ itable to one of them to evince a clear, sound con¬ science. .mm Hudson Insane Asvi.l.u..This is a private institution, established in 1630 by Drs.

Late from Tjöcas..By the arrival of the Nep¬ tune at New Orleans, on th** 29th, we have Galves- ton dates lo the _7th. President Houston has vetoed a joint resolution which passed the Congress, requiring the President and Heads of Departments to remove to Austin, the capital, as the Senate and Representatives declare, of the Republic. Contradictory reports prevail with regard to the result of the mission appointed on the part of Texas to treat with Gen. Woll and other Mexicans. The accounts received by letters from Vera Cruz, of the military and naval'preparations making at that place, for some unknown purpose, were thought of sufficient importance to be made the basis of a communication from President Houston .'alun-: the attention of Congress to the condition of the harbor of Galveston, with an estimate of the amount which would be necessary to repair the fortifications, pro¬ cure ammunition, and put the town in a state de¬ fence. I: is the'intention the citizens of Galves¬ ton. also, although thev consider an attack upon the island, by Mexico, as hardly probable, not to disre¬ gard entirely the warnings which have been sent them, but to" be in readiness fur whatever may hap¬ pen.

We consider, Ü'Crcfore, thai our < ioveriimeiit is compelled by the sovereign voice of the «people, to accept any overtures for annexation made by the ¿oyera* ment of the .United Stales, whenever the opportunity is of¬ fered." The Galveston Civilian of the 27th inst. uives the following item : We harn that an American vessel has been seiz«»d at Sabine, and, with her car-,.), retained for adjudication for an attempt ro evade the revenu-» laws by carrying a car-o of 36(1 hah-«, of Texas COtton to «Sew Orleans without.bavin.; cleared at the Custom House, the object oi'the. attempt being to smu^^le the cotton into New Orleans as the product of the Unite'l States. Another vessel, we ham. succeeded in getti-g off without a clearance, with a cargo of cotton, but information has been forwarded to N«îw Orleansjwhich will lead to the seizure of t...;!i the vessel and cargo, and the forfeiture of both for tins attempt t<< evade the rev« nue laws. TIip r«-v»»i;ue collected at the Custom House in Galvest*. in from 1st Novembetto the 2lst inst., was S.1,03. 1?, and will probably repelí SaS.OOO for th»» quarter, whi* h expires «.-¡th the month.

The marines ;it the naval station at Galveston are to he discharged in consequence of want of provisions and money. The Houston Telegraph of the 211th, iu a letter from Washington, says : Com. Moore arrived here on Friday last, and pre¬ sented his petition to hoth Houses, accompanied with a hook, praying the honorable Congress to give his conduct touching the navy, the most rigid investigation. Nothing has yet been done on his case, if Congress take upon itself to organize into a court martial upon his case, it will necessarily be kept here some weeks longer than ir otherwise would hnve been. It was expected before he arrived, that Congress would have adjourned on the 23d in¬ stant, or so soon as the appropriation bill passed. The schooner Galvelston, Cupt. Rickets, was lost about the 15th of January, and ail on board are sup posed to have perished. The schooner sailed from Galveston for ¡New Or¬ leans on the 15th inst., in ballast. On the 25th, news reached Galveston that a portion of the deck and other parts of the vessel, which had been iden¬ tified, had drifted ashore on Pelican Island and Point Bolivur. On the night of her departure a norther came up, which it ¡s supposed may have struck her while unprepared ai'id capsized her.. There were on board, beside the captain, the mate, and three or four hands, whose names were not known ; young Bryant, a midshipman in the Texan Navy* Mr. Degurs, wife and child; Mr. Kleinj a German female name unknown, and perhaps one or two other persons. Congress, it was expected, would adjourn about the 1st of February. Santa Fe..In relation to a recent meeting of the troops in that place, a letter published in the Boon- ville Observer, states that. On November 8th the dragoons at Santa were ordered to march to Chihuahu, which thev refused to do until their wages shouid be paid. The amount of their wages had been placed in the hands of the officers, to he paid over to the soldiers, but the ofti- c«rs had refused to pay it over. The soldiers threat- ened that unless iheir wares should be paid, they would break open every store in the place. The cannon were then brought out, and an attempt made t.* force them into measures * whereupon a li_;ht ensued, in which several persons lost their lives!-. The soldiers became incensed tit the traders, and swore vengeance against them. Tiie traders became alarmed and armed themselves for defence in case of an attack. The matter was settled, however, without any far¬ ther violence, and the soldiers went off singing and shouting, but fears were entertained that thev would again return and commit some depredations.' Jamaica..The New-Orleans Bulletin of the 31st has received files öf Kingston papers to the 10th Junuary. Mr. Desmoines, lately tried for the rob¬ bery of the Bank at Kingston, has been acquitted. The principal topic of discussion, both in the Le- ¡rislutive Assembly and by ¿he press, is the rapid decay of the Colony and the best means of restor¬ ing it to its former prosperity. Immigration from China is looked to «as one great remedy, and meas¬ ures are already taken to advance it. The small pox was at St. Thomas. A silk company has been established at Jamaica, and are erecting suitable buildings, &c, for the prosecution of die business on a lai_e scale. Gen. Riviere Gerhard has been elected President ot Hayti. In consequence of the imposition of ruinous ton¬ nage duties at Turks' Island, Americans and others at that Island have removed to the Dutch Islands of Cnracoa and St. Martins. Buenos AfREs^-The bark Serene, Capt Adams, brings news to the 30th of Nov. She brings the cargo of the ship Brutus, stranded in Buenos Avres in the gale of October. Montevideo was still" be- seiged and blockaded, and it was thought that the place could not hold out much langer. At Buenos Ayrcs all was quiet. Hides cost on board say 24 to .J5 lbs. 11 cents; lighter weights were difficult to be got and cost to Î rent more. Wool was scarce and at high rates. Nutria had risen 1Ö0 1-0 since last year and but few in market as they are prohibited be¬ ing killed during the present.

In Senate, Mr. Sturgeon presented petitions in favor of a ship canal around the falla of St. Mary's. Mr. Henderson presented resolutions of the Legislature of Mississippi, in favor of a reduction of the fees of the District Court of that State. Mr. Dayton presented resolutions of the Legis¬ lature of New-Jersey, instructing the Senators and Representatives from that State to vote for the bill to refund General Jackson's fine. The bill making appropriation for the Insane Asylum of the District, was taken up. debated, and ordered to be engrossed for a third reading. Adjourned to Monday. In the Hülse, the Report of the Committee on Elections coming up, Mr. Thompson of Miss., took the .loor, and s.-id that the question before the House was one questioning lus right to aseat on the fioor, a doubt to which he never enter, tained ; but, as it was a question of vast impor¬ tance, and one which this House has the judicial power to decide, and from whosejudgement there is no appeal, it should be met in a spirit of fair¬ ness. He contended thai the Constitution gave him a ri_;ht there ami that the précèdent winch a decision in favor of the law districting tin- States would make, would be a dangerous one. Mr. Stephens believed the law districting the States was constitutional, and that tac Stales were bound to obey that law. This was his in¬ dividual opinion ; but the question was now be¬ fore the tribunal to which the Constitution has submitted this subject, and by whose judgement he was willing to abide. Messrs. Brow», Payne, Newton, and Hint. took part in the discussion. Mr. SflCES, from the Committee on Euro-led bills, reported that the President had signed and approved the bill making certain transfers of Naval appropriations. The Speaker presented several Executive communications, which were appropriately dis¬ posed of. Mr. C. J. Inc.ersoll presented a bill in rela¬ tion to the Treaty between Portugal and the united States, which was read the first and second time, made the order of the day for to.mor- roi., and the report and bill printed. Adjourr.ed. ¿¦"fr" The Woollen Mill and Grist Mill in Hins« da!*\ N. H. known as the Spencer Mills, were burnt on Friday morning week, with most of t'.ie contents. The woollen mill was occupied by Riplev and Har¬ vey. The _rri»»t mill was owned by \Vm. Haile. Es'q. and P. H. Merrill. Messrs. Ripley & Harvey wen' insured $4900, and their loss over and above this will be about $1500. Messrs. Haile & Merrill were fully insured. The mills upon the same ground were burnt in June. 1841. Destructive Fire..On Thursday night, the block ol" buildings <>n the south-west corner of Gay and Lombard streets, Baltimore, were nearly con¬ sumed by lire. The buildings were owned by Messrs.

The Senate was not in session to-day. In the House, the question of privilege (i. e. of the validity of ihe chums to scats of the Gene. ral Ticket members,] was discussed doling the entire day and until adjournment at a late hour, by Messrs. Nonius of N. H. Cuappell of Gt and Catlin, in opposition to the law and in favor of the claims of these members to their scats: and by Mr. Summers on the opposite side, and by other gentlemen, the arguments mainly being but a repetition of those formerly advanced, and the debate partaking-of but little interest. . One of its features eliciting momentary attcn* tion, as being so decided a rarity in these days, was a studied (for the speech was read) and warm eulogy by Mr. Catees of Mr. Tyler's administra, tion, with particular reference to the several vc. toes. Mr. C. however protested against being considered an apologist or eulogist ; some of his acts he could not approve. Still the name of John Tyler, he suid, would be cherished as that of an enlightened statesman and devoted patriot long after the names of his caluminiators should be buried in oblivion. Mr. Summers made an eloquent and able speech in opposition to the claims of the members in question. Mr. Chappell, instead of joining with his brother Whig from Ga. (Mr. Stephens,) in the noble stand so gallantly taken by him in defence of the law, and against his own temporary inter, est, was found pettifogging in the usual Loco style against the validity of the act. The majority have determined in caucus upon closing the debate on Tuesday. The argument before the Supreme Court on the Gerard Will case has been continued to-day by Mr. Wehster on the part of the heirs, and is said to be one of his great efforts. The courtroom was filled to overflowing an hour or two before the opening of the Court, and continued bo dur» ing the dity.a goodly portion of the assembly b *ing composed of ladies, and many being unable to gain admittance. Mr. W. will occupy Monday with the c »ntinuation of his argument. Abode. T2>i*ip-s ill ¿»niladelpliia. Corres« oiitlfi'C-.' of Th- Tri bane.

Libertinism a Crime,Mr. Allen, from the Committee ou the Judi.

citvy, has reported to the Assembly of this Statea bill to punish Adukory and Seduction as felo¬nious offences against the State.as deadlycrimes against the peace, order and happiness ofthe community. The bill, we hear, is accompa¬nied by a long and able Report, fully vindicatingthe expediency and necessity of such enactment,of which the House has ordered the printing often time-i the usual number..-So far, well; butthe Legislature has gone as far as this severaltimes before. Public Opinion is ripe now, as itprobably has not been hitherto, for the enactmentof such laws us the Committee hero propose, andwe trust the session will not be suffered to glideaway in their absence. We venture to assure

Mr. Allen that the People will look to him to

press the matter he has reported as the most im--portant measuro of the Session, and that, shouldhe fail to do so, promptly and steadily, there are

many thousands who will regret his course, andwill not stop at regretting it. We do hope hewill see the propriety of energetic action in thepremises, and that the Committee and the Housewill second his exertions. All we ask is a re¬

cord of the Yeas and Nays on this measure ; andif it is not carried this Session we are confidentit will be at the next.The following arc the proceedings in the As¬

sembly on the introduction of this bill, as report¬ed in the Argus:Mr. Allen (from the Judieiary Committee, to

'which were referred ihn numerous" petitions for thepunishment of seduction and adulter«. ) reported abill to Prevent Licentiousness.The bill was accompanied bv a report in writing.the printing of üve times the usual number of which

were moved by Mr. Humürd. The bill is substan¬tially the bill ol lust year, und inflicting penalties offine and imprisonment for the offences» named in thepetitions.The report was read, whenMr. Palmer moved the printine: of ten times the

usual number of the report.saying that it wat* a

document that would not perhaps find its way gener¬ally into the newspapers of the day ; and it waavery desirable that it should have a general circula¬tion.Mr. Huntington accorded in opinion with the

gentleman lust up, that the communitv would beeminently beaefuted by a general circulation of thisdocument; and that it it was to have such circula¬tion, it must be mainly through the omcial publica¬tions ordered by the House. "There was a morbidseusibility on the part of the community.-a sort ol*sham modesty.that operated so far upon the pressas to keep every thing of tins sort out of the papers.There was perhaps a deeper cause for this, whichhe need not remark upon. It was enough to knowthat the document would not and its way into thepapers, to make an exception to its general*rule, andpnnt a larger number than usual in this ease! Heseconded the motion for ten times.

.Mr. Hl'LBCRD assented to that modification of hismotion, andTen times the usual number were ordered.

Sy Boston is full of life and business. Housesare going up rapidly, especially in the neighborhoodof the Worcester Depot and th*a noble United StatesHotel, which were but recently in the Southernsuburb of the town, but are now in the heart of bu¬siness, the centre of a growing wilderness of brickand mortar. We expect to see the Exchange andPost Office located in that vicinitv vet, if laudenough can be found or made for th«m."Ohio..-The Senate of Ohio have refused to pass

the Retrenchment Bill as amended by the House.

strong, ruthless and unprincipled hand of theGovernment, displayed at once.a hand red withthe gore of ages, and perhaps destined to receivea still bloodier hue before many months. That a

general Revolution will convulse Ireland in theevent of O'Conncll's imprisonment, I do not anti¬

cipate ; but that erneutes may"occur is highly pro¬bable. How unequal is British Rule in its action

upon different persons and things ! Right in theheart of England have I beheld the leaders of a

league holding large meetings.haranguing tre¬

mendous-, masses.and receiving money fromthem for the purpose of obtaining the abolition ofa law which is oppressive upon the middle andlower classes. The Corn Law League lifts itsterrible mace.the shadow is already fallingupon the dignitaries of Downing street.yet, no

bayoneta glitter around the meetings.none oftheir leaders are indicted.Cobden, Bright &Co.traverse and agitate the fast anchored Isle fromcentre to circumference.Oh, no '. they are Eng¬lishmen. But in Ireland, the holding of largemeetings.the harangues of leaders and the col¬lection of money for the purpose of gaining thepeaceable abolition of a law.ah, this is all sedi¬tion.this is intimidation of the Government.and the leaders are indicted, seize«d and tried !This is glorious British Justice ! The Repealbusiness docs not cause as much sensation inEngland as one on your side of the water wouldprobably suppose. The higher classes of course

care nothing about it, so long as they can enjoytheir monopolies undisturbed, they care but littleabout union or disunion. The middle class arc

looking after their pounds, shillings and pence,and tiie lower classes who must sweat and bleedfor their masters, can only think of their own ne¬

cessities and wrongs. I do not mean to say, thatIrish affairs are not a topic of discourse, butmerelv that they arc viewed with but little realsolicitation.That portion of the President's message which

relates to Texas, commands the most attentionfrom the English Press and public. In a CottonCircular just issued, the idea is advanced thatEngland should induce Texas to abolish slaverywhen the " One Star" would be swept to some

purpose by the Downing street telescope. Insuch case, says the Circular, Great Britain wouldbe independent ofthe slave Cotton growing states.

That England will intrigue for such a consum¬

mation is probable.Temperance has made some progress and af¬

fected some good here, but the English are stilldreadfully addicted to the demons of the grapeand still. At no period were the Americans such

huge drinkers as these people of England. Hun¬dreds of thousands sit night after night in TapRooms, discussing the merits of Brandy, Ale andTobacco. Owing to the scientific mode of swal¬lowing liquor and their phlegmatic temperaments,the English rarely exhibit the excitiment of intox¬ication. They swill, and swill, and swill, addingquietly to their fat and bestiality.

brilliant and cloudless : the Sound was frozen froishore to shore, the undisturbed ice perhaps siinches thick; that where the boats had brokethrough on previous days was about two inches. Herat 7 yesterday morning, as the New-Haven enicre

President Houston has vetoed a joint resolutionwhich passed the Congress, requiring the Presidentand Heads of Departments to remove to Austin, the

capital, as the Senate and Representatives declare,of the Republic. Contradictory reports prevail withregard to the result of the mission appointed on the

part of Texas to treat with Gen. Woll and otherMexicans.The accounts received by letters from Vera Cruz,

of the military and naval'preparations making at

that place, for some unknown purpose, were thoughtof sufficient importance to be made the basis of a

Asylum of the District, was taken up. debated,and ordered to be engrossed for a third reading.

Adjourned to Monday.In the Hülse, the Report of the Committee on

Elections coming up, Mr. Thompson of Miss.,took the .loor, and s.-id that the question beforethe House was one questioning lus right to aseaton the fioor, a doubt to which he never enter,tained ; but, as it was a question of vast impor¬tance, and one which this House has the judicialpower to decide, and from whosejudgement thereis no appeal, it should be met in a spirit of fair¬ness. He contended thai the Constitution gavehim a ri_;ht there ami that the précèdent wincha decision in favor of the law districting tin-States would make, would be a dangerous one.

Mr. Stephens believed the law districting theStates was constitutional, and that tac Staleswere bound to obey that law. This was his in¬dividual opinion ; but the question was now be¬fore the tribunal to which the Constitution hassubmitted this subject, and by whose judgementhe was willing to abide.

Messrs. Brow», Payne, Newton, and Hint.took part in the discussion.

CONGE ESSIUXAÊ PRO CEEVINGS.BY THE REPORTER OF THE NEW-YORK TRi_f;**T.

Washing row, Satui-Jsy, Feb. 10.The Senate was not in session to-day.In the House, the question of privilege (i. e. of

the validity of ihe chums to scats of the Gene.ral Ticket members,] was discussed doling theentire day and until adjournment at a late hour,by Messrs. Nonius of N. H. Cuappell of Gtand Catlin, in opposition to the law and in favorof the claims of these members to their scats:and by Mr. Summers on the opposite side, and byother gentlemen, the arguments mainly being buta repetition of those formerly advanced, and thedebate partaking-of but little interest. .

One of its features eliciting momentary attcn*tion, as being so decided a rarity in these days,was a studied (for the speech was read) and warmeulogy by Mr. Catees of Mr. Tyler's administra,tion, with particular reference to the several vc.toes. Mr. C. however protested against beingconsidered an apologist or eulogist ; some of hisacts he could not approve. Still the name ofJohn Tyler, he suid, would be cherished as thatof an enlightened statesman and devoted patriotlong after the names of his caluminiators shouldbe buried in oblivion.

Mr. Summers made an eloquent and ablespeech in opposition to the claims of the membersin question.

Mr. Chappell, instead of joining with hisbrother Whig from Ga. (Mr. Stephens,) in thenoble stand so gallantly taken by him in defenceof the law, and against his own temporary inter,est, was found pettifogging in the usual Locostyle against the validity of the act.The majority have determined in caucus upon

closing the debate on Tuesday.The argument before the Supreme Court on the

Gerard Will case has been continued to-day byMr. Wehster on the part of the heirs, and is saidto be one of his great efforts. The courtroomwas filled to overflowing an hour or two beforethe opening of the Court, and continued bo dur»ing the dity.a goodly portion of the assemblyb *ing composed of ladies, and many being unableto gain admittance. Mr. W. will occupy Mondaywith the c »ntinuation of his argument. Abode.
