 Tn the House to-day, the discussl0n of Mr. Clayton's resolution for appointing Select Con,mitfee, will instructions aod powers to investigate condition and past adminis- rrasinn If inc affairs of the United States Rank. vas rohtInued and brought near a 4riose. MT. Wayne's amendment was reject ga by small majority. No man has made himself more obnoxious to censtre. in this de- hate, than Mir. Wayne. His attack on Gen. Root, personally, and his frequent and un- courteous insinuations as to the motives of the Bank advOcates. drew upon him, at length, a most marked and deliberate insult from Mr. McDuties Mir. Wayne asked some qnes- lion, addressing it to MT. McDuf5e, as the Cha;rn,an of the Committee of Ways and Mems. Mir. McDufieTose calmly, and wi;h fun desiberation, said, addressing himself to lhe Speaker and the House, ,--that though al- ways ready and willing to afford allthe infor- nation in his power 10 gentlemen in that House, yet he must be excused from consid ering the member from Georgia as deserving that courtesy. The course of The member from Georgia, in inc discussion. had been so supereilious, innpertinent, and Overbedring, asto put him out of the range of parliamentary courtes, and he wished it to be understood k that, hereafter, nothing which fell from that member in any form, would receive any no-. tice from him. The excitement and buste which took place during the remarks, pre- vented me from hearing them very distinctly, but the itaicised words were emphatically uttered, and the tone and manner were too marked to he mistaken. Mir. Wayne rose in a rage, and railed incoherently-as man cooler than lie is, might be apt to do, on 2 such m occasion. The only thing tangible which came to my ear was this sally. well know how toappreciate the gsntlemans siIken valor ;'' inc which, you know, alludes Co events long since past. Nothing more was said. But, immediateIy. tiere was much caueussing and mysterious whispering, and gathering into corners. There was much anxiet y on every iace,--for Mr.g cDufie is too honest and able a man to lose. To the great credit af inc friends of the parties be i, said. thats insie pf promoting the fe,ids as : frisnss usunlly hey applied themseives in good earnest to mako peace, andhappiy sue ceeded. Mr. Wayne came forward and npoI ? ogized to the House for yimprOper warmth into which, in the ardOr of an excited debate, ahe might have been drawnand thercupon MT. McDufie withdrew hisren,arks. and MT. Wayne withdrew llis rciort- -and there is the end of fthe matter.
 The Speech of MT. w ebster at the Gen. tenniai CeIebratlan at Washington. is one oi the best dinper Speeches we have ever read. The conclusion. where he allndes 10 the Un- s ion, is in the following eloquent strain:
 < Other misfort1nes may be borne, or their effects overcome. II disastrous war sweeps 6tlr eotAmerce from the ocean, another gene ration may renewit; fit exhaust our treasu- ry, future industry may repiynish 1t lit des- ssslaie and lay waste our fields, still, under < new cultivation, they will grow green again, x and ripen t0 future harvests. It were but a z friflr, eyen 1.-the walls of yonder capitol were to cramble. if it's lofty pillars should fall, and 2 ddsT of the valley: AIi these might he re- built. But who shall reconstruct the fabric Of Ofdemolished Government Who shall rear again the we'll proporlioned columns of Con sfitutiCnal Liberty? Who shall frame togeth- CT the skilful architecture which uniies nation- ~ sovereignty with State rights, individual security. and public prosperity? No, gentle men, if these columns fall. they will not be raised again. Like the Coliseum and Par ihAnon, they will he destined to me1rnful, melancholy immortality. Bitterer tears. however, will 1dW over them than were ever shed over the monuments Of Roman or Gre z elan art for they willbe the remnants of more glorious edifce than Greece or Rome escr saw-the edifcc of Constituliona Amer ican Liberty.
 But, gentlemen. let us hope for better things. Let us trust in that Gracious Being who has hitherto held our country as in the hollow of his hand. Let us trust to the virtue and the intelligence of the People, and to the efficacy Of religi0usS obligation. !4et us trust to the influence of Washington's example, Let us hope that the fear of Heaven, which expels all other fear, and that regard to duty, which 1ranscends all other regard, may influence public men and private citizens. and lead our country, still onward in her happy career.- Full of these gratifying anticipatons and hopes, let us look forward to the end of that century which is now commenced. A hun drcd years hence, other disciples of Washing ton will celebrate his birth, with no less of sincere admiration than we now comme,no, rate it. When they shall meet. as we now
 meet, to do themselves and him that honor, so surely as ihey shall see the blue summits \ of his native. mouctains rise in the horizon < 30 surely as they .sha..l behold the river on whose banks he lived, aisd on whose banks he rests. still flowing tN the sea; so surely may they see, as We now see. ths flag of the Union floating on the top Of the Capitol; and then, as now. may tho sun in his course visit no land more free. more happy, more lovely. than this our own Country.
 Gentlemen, propose
