uO SCudLc W6TS SCSSAOu CICvClI until six o'clock to. day. The BdIIRrHpt Bill was discussed in business-like manner, and in reference only to the various amendments submitted by MT. Wright and others. Fhe end of the days work is that the bill is bnid upon the fable, by yeas and nays, nominaty for the purpose of printing, but in reality for the purpose of keeping it buried for the ses- sion. Mir. Hubbard submitted the motion to lay upon the table, and the vote was "A to 9. Mir. Grundy, who would have voted affirma- lively, not being in his seat, and two Sena- tors, MT. Spence, of Md. and MT. Sevier, of Arkansas, being absent. A prior motion was made 10 recommit, and was lost by q majority of 5 or 6 votes. Among the amend ments adopted was an important one by MT. Wright, which provides that the bill shall not go into operation before next March, The month of March was a compromise made by the Senator, the original proposition or amendment naming June, l94l.
 The vote of tonight only makes that which was doubtful more doubtful than be- fore. The fate of the bill in the Senate is suspended by hair, and the shrcwdcst man cannot guess the final result, which is now made to depend upon the contingency of a single vote. Mir. Wright's great object is to defeat the bill indirectly-eithcr by the mo- tion to fay upon the table. which he would prefer, or by motion to postpone, which would be a second choice. If compelled to vote Yea or Nay upon the Bill, my impress sion is he will be guided by the voice from the Leg stature of N. York, and vote atfirma- lively. The Bill as amended will be print ed tonight, and an attempt will be made to remove it from the table. This, however, may be as hard matter as lifting moun- tain.
 The North Eastern Boundary despatches received by the Great Western are known to be pacific. I learn thus much from good authority, but the details of the proposals brought out will not be known for day or two.-N. Y. Express.

 Bankrupt BiU ordered to Ge Engrossed- This important Bill, with two amendments the one changing the time for the bill go into operation 10 February instead of next March, and the other making it necessary to give the creditor notice by letter of an inten- tion to take :he benefit of the act-was order ed to an engrossment by majority of ONE vorE-24 to 23. Mir. Grundy, who is absent, l believe on an election tour in the Old Do- ninion, and who would have voted in the negative had he been present, will be here probably tomorrow. The vote will then be H his casting vote in the affirmative.
 Mr. Wright resisted the bill as long as re. sistance availed aught, and failing to accom- plish any thing by malGuvering, at length voted for the Bill.
 Mr. Wall resisted it to the last, and with Mr. Hubbard, Mr. Benton, and other Admin iStration Senator, has been conspicuous in Bis opposition to the measure. The Bill will pass the Senate, and have now some req sons for believing it will pass the House of Representatives before the close of the ses- sion. This is good news, and the first bright spot in :he business of the session.--iCi%
 WASHINGTON, June p.
 The BANKRUPT BILL is before the House and upon the Speakers table, to be referred whenever opportunity shall offer. The bill Sasse0 the Senate to-day after remonstrance in the shape of four briefly made speeches from MT. Wall, MT. Iumpkin, MT. Tappan of Ohio, and Mir. Anderson of Tennessee- Mir. Young of Illinois briefly gave his rca- sons for voting for the bill, and the question was taken and. the bill was passed by ma jority of two votes. The yeas and nays up- on the bill were as follows:.
 Yeas-Messrs. Clayton, Davis, Dixon, Henderson, Phelps, Porter, Ruggles, Smith of lnd., Southard, Tallmadge, Walker White, Williams, Wright oung -21.
 Nays-Messrs. Allen. Anderson, Benton, Brown, Buchanan Calhoun Clay of Ala, Cuthbert, Hubbard, King, Linn, Lumpkin, Pierce, Roane, Robinson, Smith of Conn.,, Sturgeon, Tappan, Wall-l9
 Of the result in the House the only thing that can be said, so far, is that the prospects are quite as good for the passage of the bill there, as they were for its success in the Senate few days since. The hope, so long deferred, trust may not be deferred much longer. The general Government owe the re- lief to the community, and Congress is the only Constitutional power that can grant ii. But for the odious experiments of the domi- nant partv-the multiplication of Banks the removal of the Depostes, and the instruc- lions of the President to the Depositc Banks to discount literally, the wild and ungovern- able disposition to speculate would never have begun, or beginning, would have been checked bv the control which the United States Bank and its branches, before the re- moval of the pcposites, had upon the more local 6unking Institutions of the couniry.- Let the Government be restored to the con- dition in which it was ten years since, by the Experimenters, and the people will then thank God and cry hands off. Of no Peo- ple, more than our own, can it be said that sthe world is governed too much" The continued interference of the Executive, and the continued interruptions of business have destroyed confidence which is the soul of integrity. In agony of spirit. the People may say to the Government, ledre us alone. "
 The small vote upon the Bankrupt Bill today, is in consequence of the absence of some of the Senators from the city who have paired of on the vote with others who rcmain.-ibid.
