1est oL Oooy 0f ot mInd-0t th1s late hour, the bnid-head of the venerable nun was seen amidst the crowd of members. His peculiar voice was shrill as the notes of a tTumpet- his manner of speaking was strikingly efec. tives-slOw, solemn, and even thrilling. A breath almost could have been heard in any part of the Hall. But Mir. Adams was not excited, and only rose to raise feeble voice against the Bill before the House, and fo iri- troduce an amendment. William c. John- son of Maryland, Van Buren man, follow. ed,-rebuking severely his party for slnoth- ering debate. He said he had been I5 hours in the House, "by Shrewsbury's clock, or "by John Randolph's lever," but by as good u time-piece as Cither,-the clock over the Speakers chair. He was tired, weary, and wanted to go home, but felt bound to make speech in regard to the Bill. He had intended to support the Bill as amended, but for certain reasons he should vote against the Bill, amendments, modifcations,-in short against every thing. Rhett of South Caroli- na, took the floor at midnight, begs ing that the Bill might be reported to the House before adjournment. Pope. of Ky, followed, in short speech against the Bill. His colleague, Chambers, succeeded him. The House, he said, of a sudden, had become wonderfully industrious, and the fit of industry had come over him, as well as over the majority. In Kentucky they were given to "nuch speak lng," and he hoped the committee would ex- cuse him if he didn't talk more than four or nVe hours, as 1t was only about midnight, and ne nateo 10 be hurried or driven; and aa man who hurried Kentuckiap. generally found himself "barking up the wrong trec." The poor Administration, before he, took his seat, received some of these hard knocks pe- cullar to the "half-horse, half alligator. snap- ping turtle" Kentuckians. The Goyernment. he said. had been driven into its present weak condition, in order to cover up the outrage the damnable outrage, as he called it, of re. moving the Deposites from the United States Bank. Chambers took things leisurely. His speech was among the best spoken, although coming unprcmeditated. Amusement, fun. sarcasm, anecdotes, figured throughout. The snorers, somnambulists, gapers, groaners, croakers, idlers, workers, l0afers, auditors, all seat few moments before one. Legare. of $. C., coaxed the committee to rise. Ay, ,av, ay, and no, no, no. was heard in all directions the stentors in the minority, crying as lust fly as the noisier multitude in the majority. The question was put. Apart of the majority refused to stand fire, and the result was N1NE- TY AYES, to EIGHTY-N NINE NOES.

 Mr. Maury, of Tennessee, opened the discussion as a member of the minority Of the Committee His reasons as given in short speech for osg .heir Session are that the Proclamation of the Governor o Mississippi had reference only to the Special Session The proclamation merely proposed an elc.ion troin July to November, at which tune the regular eeciioD takes place. MT. Ma,ry has also ably defended h;s position upon consiitu,ional grounds.
