 JUNE 1l.-IN SENATE, yesterday, Messrs. Buchanan and Rives consumed nearly the whole sitting in debate upon the case of M0IM M1@ Mn Nc @1r were the letter of MT. Webster to Mir. Fox, the law of nations as set forth by MT. Web- ster, and his instructions to Mir. Crittenden.
 MT. Buchanan, who evidently intended his as tert-speech upon this Mcleod business for editors friendly to the late administration to copy. was happily and powerfully an- swered by MT. Rives, law for law, authority for authority, and fact for fact. MT. Rives passed glowing eulogium upon MT. Web- ster, and as will be seen by our report, Messrs. Clay and Preston could not help ex- claiming beautiful" beautiful" as Mir. Rives read part of his powerful letter to Mir. Fox.
 The General Bankrupt Law incidentally came up yesterday, upon which remarks were made, and to which disposal was giv. en, that precludes all hope for the passage of such law this extra session.
 IN THE HOUSE, to the shame of that body, if in the aggregate the respectable individu- als that compose it, can have a sense of shame, the time is yet wasted in prating of matters appertaining to abolition and slave ry. The second week of the extra session is nearly over, and the House has not yet com. pleted the selection of it's officers! All yes- terday was wasted in hearing speeches upon these subjects from Mir. Ingersoll of Penn. (who has furnished incendiary matter enough to make a magazine,O and MT. Marshall of Kentucky. Thus what might have been dis posed of yesterday comes up again to-day, for MT. Wise is full, over-full apparently of matter-and where, and when is to be the end! Why do not the working members of the House combine for action? If ten or twelve would unite and act together, they could force the doing of something-but while things here are us they are. the only hope of the country is the Senate. for the popular branch of the Government is hum- bug, existing only in name.
 The Minister to England.-The National Gazette informs us that the mission to Eng land has been rendered to the Hon. John Sergeant, in a manner warmly expressive of the sense entertained by the administration of his eminent qualifications for the trust.- Whether he will accept the appointment has not yet transpired.
 Destructire Fire Gi Troy.-A fire broke out in Troy, about 3 P. M., on Sunday, in the rear of the wooden building 2sl River st. oc. cupied by Wm. L. Taylor, tobacconist, and rapidly extended to the adjoining buildings on both sides of it, to the new Market on the north, and to the store of Haight. Gillespy & Co. on the south destroying in all eleven buildings-two of brick, and the remainder of wood.
 The total amount of loss by the fire is es- timated at $30,OOO or $40,OO0. Insurance about $25,OOO in the offices in Troy. Albany and Hartford. The buildings were all old and of little value, or the loss would have been much greater The new Fulton Mar ket was on fire at :he time, and only saved by the Herculean efforts of the firemen.
