WASHINGTON CrTY, Jan. g.

The Senate Chamber, yesterday, presented an interesting spectacle. From desire to hear MT. WIRTs continuation of his Speech in de- fence of Judge Peck before the Court of Inn peachment, the galleries were thronged at an early hour with an array of all the beauty of the farer sex, to the exclusion almost of all the male auditors. The double row of Senators oneach hand of the presiding officer, whilst the gallares beamed with radiant lustre above them, beheld the area of the Chamber and the lobbies literal- ly filled to overfoWing with Members of the other House, stranges and gentleman of distinc- ton. Hundreds of persons who attempted to obtain entrance had to return home disappoint- ed. Mr. Wirt cannot but have been gratihed (unless entirely weaned of vanity) with these proofs of the high esteem in which both his char acter and his abilities are held by those of his lelow-citzens to whomhe is best lSnown.-h,tel
 Jun. 2S.-In order that our readers may have something like correct idea of the vast amount of private business which has accumulated, and is constantly accommodating before Congress, we state. that there were One Hundred and Thr- teen distinct and separate memorials and peti- tons presented to the House of Representatives alone, on Monday, the 24th inst. Ofthis whole number, it is quite possible, nay ever, probable, IHdI lHc ODIeCt or HOl Olies even lilouGl uHueii- ably just and expedient, will be accomplished at the present Session. ib.
 Jaa. 29.-We noticed, the other day, inc great concourse of persons 10 the Capitol, to hear MT. Wirt's Speech. The interest of the trial has not ended, nor did t begin, with his speech. It has been sustained throughout with unusual steadiness; and the Chamber was crowd ed yesterday almost as much as the day hereto fore referred to, on which MT. sNirt spoke.
 This Impeachment, by the way, has inferfer- ed sadly with the public business, not only in Congress, but before the Supreme Court; and we hope it will be long time before we have another. fib.

The Duke of Montebello is reported to have said that you might be looking Talleyrand stead- fastls in the face at the moment person kicked him from behind without being able to know from his features that any thing had hapnened to him; this took to be literally true. His face
 is, in fact, face of stone, with the exception of his eyes, which are remarkably brilliant His person appears like that of a skeleton dnessed after the fashion of times long passed awav.- His upper garment is very loose. and partakes of the form of robe rather than a coat. Such was the custume in which he appeared al the soiree of Lafayette. His presence there was not at all expected by the crowds of people who weekly pay their respects to the most conss- tent and the most patriotic man of the age The announcement of his name, as may be easily imagined. excited no little astonisilment. ! pas sage through the company was made for him by the attendants. and every eve was intensely fixed upon him as he moved along the suite of apartments. like the statute of withered old man to which had been given the power of To- comotion.
