fifty years of age, with pleasing countenance,

beard luxuriating from his chin, his appear

Mr., Clay's speech on his retrenchment reso-
lutions.
After the business of the morning hour, the

to practice rigid economy in its various De-
partments, &c.
Mr., Clay advocated these resolutionsin one
of his ablest and at times most eloquent spec
ches of upwards of two hours, examining the
general financial principles that should be ad-
opted in the administration of the Government
for relief from the burdens of indebtedness be-
quea,hed by the late Administration of Mr..
Van Buren,, the annual expenditure Of which
he showed to have been more than thirty five
millions, and calling upon all, regardless of par
ty prejudices to unite in judicious restorative
measures. If the course of policy marked in
the resolutions were adopted, the Government
would have an adequate revenue without de-
pending on disreputable expedients, and there
by the public credit would be preserved unsul-
lied; a retrenchment of all unnecessary ex-
penditures of the pnblc money. and an econ
omical administration of the Government
would be effected; check would be placed
on the efflux of the precious metals from our
Country and incidental protection would be
afforded to American industry. The speech
will soon appear.

Gov. Morrow, am rejoiced to say, is much
better this morning, and from present appear.
ances is likely to recover. Although the an
nouncement of his death in the journals of
your city may cause pang to his large circle
of friends and relatives, Yet the tribute to his
memory cannot fail to be read with peculiar
satisfaction by himself.
There has been very little of interest in Ell.
ther House to-day, expecting the abortive ar
gument of Mr.. Calhoun in the Senate on Mr..
Clay's Veto resolutions, and the introduction
of resolution calling upon tine President to
inform the House whether any and what extra
compensation has been allowed to Gen. Scott
for his services in effecting the peaceable re-
moval of the Cherokees beyond the JMissssip-
pi. There have been most unwarrntable re-
marks INDUCED in against the General upon
this subject, and the result of this inquiry will
put the matter in proper light, and entirely
vindicate the character of this distinguished
officer.
4 number of nominations of minor char.
acter, chiefly military. were presented to the
Senate this morning and among them is that
of Justus McInstry as Postmaster at the city
of Hudson. On all hand this appointment is
acknowledged 10 be unexceptionable. Nc
names have yet been substituted for those Of
the late First Comptroller and District Judge
in Philadelphia. By the citizens Of Easton
Pennsylvania and the commercial interest al
large this delay is to be regretted; but the
perplexing difficulties, which necessarily sur.
round the President after the rejection of i'm.
portant appointments,require increased caution
and elaboration on the part of the Executive
and cannot fail to shield him from public in
culpation.
Mr.. Clay's valedictory will be delivered tc
he Senate tomorrow upon the momentous
resolutions introduced by him some week Of
, ten days past. The Metropolitan public ART
all alive upon the occasion, and the Capito
at an early hour in the morning will be crow
ded to suffocation. 1t matters not whether
right or wrong, the great Western Statesman
whenever his set down for a speech, produce:
sensation in public mind that no other maj
in the Nation can arouse. On this occasion
however, when he is about to retire forever from
the Senate, mighty effort is expected, and
have reason 10 believe he will fulfil the hope:

The Senate was not in session to day.
Ia in the House, the resolution of Retrepch-

House, were taken up, and gave rise to de-
bate continuing through the day on retrench-
ment and reform--the devotion of the members
of the House to which was illus!r rated yester-
day by the adoption, in patriotic manner. of
an amendment 10 an amendment providing
that no stationery shall henceforth be furnished
the members Of the House at public expense,
and then by a sudden reversal rejecting the
whole amendment, thus multiplying their Previ-
GUS vote.
One of these resolutions was adopted, and
10 another, several amendments were offered
and adopted, among which was one prohibit
ing the furnishing to members boxes, trunks,
chests. tin cases for maps, &c. An urgent att
tempt was made by the wings TO finish these

In the House, Retrenchment was again the
order of the day; and the abuses in supplying

mined (160 to 22) that each member shall be
supplied with S25 worth of stationery for the

any additional quantity will be charged to him

will effect a saving of at least $4,000 per
