ate. He made very appropriate
speech upon the death of Mr.. Ciliey,
and gave brief notice Of the princi-
nal events in his life. Mr.. Cilley was
the grandson of Gen. CilIey, Of the
revolutionary war. The Senate adj

CONGRESSIONAL.
In the Senate to-day, MIR. Buchanan
presented a series Of resolutions adopt
ed by the Legislature Of Pennsylvania,
instructing the Senators from that State
to vote for postpOnement OF the Sub
Treasury bill until next session OF
Congress; also, instructing them to
vote for such system as regard the
public moneys as will separate the
banks from the Government; and at
the same time declaring their full con-
lfidence in the President Of the United
States.
Mr.. CLAY then delivered himself
at large on the question of the indie
pendent Treasury. He played his
part as he would have done broken
hand at bragg Bold and audacious
assertion, threatening and biu.Ding OF
| con,orlions Of feature, and utter inrer-
sion of the true condition of the adver-
ssry attacked, was the attitude assum-
ed and given. He set mp new bill
for that of Mr.. WRIGHT.
Abuseofthe late venerable President
was the principle ingredient OF the O.
pening part of this display, and severe
and unjust personal animadvcrsion on
the course of Mr.. CALHOUN figured
most strikingly in the conclusion. lie
charged Mr.. CALHous with abandon
ing the Whigs-with ''horse, foot and
dragoons," and added aspersions ON
his motives; and then turned to MIR.
RIvEs, and declared his conservatism
81 good halfway house" where he
could calculate ON good cheer, and was
willing 10 soiourn for while. But
he took care, at the same time, to in
form him that it was only call in pas
sing to The ultimate destination to
which he would come at last-A Ma
tionsl Bank.
In argument, Mr.. Clay was exceed
ingly feeble, in voice, look and gestu, e,
extremely fereible. In debate he
may stand for one Of Sir. John Falstaf's
recruits:
"Oh. most FoaciBLE FEEBLE"
After Mr.. CLAY had concluded his
remarks. Mr.. CALHOUN rose, and af-
ter stating, in most brief phrase, that
the Senator from Kentucky had gross
iiy misrepresented his statements, and
arguments, he remarked that he should
take occasion, in his own good time,
to cancel all obligations between them.
