CONGRESS. Correspondence of the Charleston Mercury. Washington, Jan. 18,1842. ]n the Senate, to-day, Mr." Morehend of Ken tucky presented a memorial remonstrating against the p issage of the Bankrupt Law. He look the occasion to remark, that in obedience to the decisive indications of public opinion respectidff.the Bankrupt law in his own State, lie should vote for the repeal, though his own opinions of the justice and propriety of the measure were unchanged. As to his colleague (Mr. (^lay.) he presumed he would not feel bound by the action of the. Legislature, in; he was more the representative of the Union, than of any individual member of it. The bill authorizing an issue of Treasury notes was repotted from the Committee on Fi nance with amendments, and Mr. Evans gave notice that lie would call it up to-morrow.— The hill to regulate commercial intercourse with the port of Cayenne, in French Guiana, and several private bills, were read a third time and passed. The Senate then proceeded to the consider ation of the proposition of Mr. Walker, to in struct the Judiciary Committee to report a bill amendatory of the Bankrupt law, including Banks within its compulsory provisions, and such other, amendments as the committee may think advisable. Mr. King suggested the pro priety of making the resolution an inquiry in to the expediency of reporting such a bill, and expressed his belief that, to include the banks, in the compulsory provisions of a bankrupt law, would be disastrous to the banks, and produc tive of incalculable distress to the country.— Mr. Walker modified the resolution in accor dance wnh this suggestion, and it was adop ted. ^The Senate then went into Executive session, ond afterwards adjourned. Jn the House, the presentation of petitions was Hi order, and a great variety were presen ted from the States between Kentucky and New York in a reversed order. Petitions and memorials were presented from South Caroli na, by Messrs. Pickens, Campbell, and Holmes, the latter presenting several on various sub jects from Charleston. Mr. J. R. lngersoll presented a memorial, praying Congress not to repeal the Bankrupt law, and lie moved that i» be referred to the Committee on the Ju diciary, with instructions to inquire into the ex pediency of reporting a bill arm ndatory of the act bf the 9th August, 18-11, so that its imper fections may he corrected, and its deficiencies suppfied. The motion was carried in a thin House, by a vote of 83 to 50. A nnmlter of Abolition petitions were presented, and pen ding a nioiion to lay one of them upon the ta ble, the House adjourned. Washington, Jan. 19,1842. In the Senate, to-day, there were n number of memorials presented, remonstrating against a repeal of the Bankrupt law. The resolution submitted by Mr. Allen, yesterday, was taken up, and after some remarks from Messrs. Al len, Rives, and Evans, was, upon motion of the last named gentlcinau, laid upon the tabic by a strict party vote. Mr. Phelps moved for the appointment of a member on the Committee on Revolutionary Claims, in place of an absent Senator. Mr. Behton was in favor of abolishing the Com mittee altogether. He said there were years since the establishment of that Committee, in which this government paid more for Rev olutionary services, than were expended du ring any one year in the Revolutionary war. Mr. Pierce adverted to claims to the amount of $318,001), paid by this Government be tween the years 1829 and 1834, which have been since discovered to have had not the least foundation. After some remarks in re ply^ by . Mr. Phelps, his motion was agreed to. • The Treasury note hill was then taken up, and the amendment of the Committee on Finance to strike out the proviso inserted in the House on motion of Mr. Gilmer, was read. The proviso was to the effect ‘ that the amount of Treasury notes which may he is sued under the authority of the act shall be deemed and taken in lieu of so much of the loan authorized by the act of July 11, 1811.” Mr. Evans argued at some length the necessi ty pfstrikiiig out this proviso, as the Treasu ry. would need at least ten millions in addition to the available revenue, to meet the expendi tures of the year, which he thought might he brought down to twenty-three millions. He thought there would he a diminished import, and a diminished export the present year.-*- That the Cotton crop was short, and in the fare of that deficiency there was a reduction in price, which would occasion a deficiency in the returns for that staple alone of twelve mil lions of dollars. He thought that the pressure in oiif monetary affairs had not reached its severest point, hut that it would increase, and that instead of a general resumption of specie payments, which some were fondly hopingdu- ring the ensuing summer, the suspension would extend over portions oi the country now j aying specie. Mr- Buchnnan then rose and announced the death of the Hon. Davis Dimmock, a Repre sentative from the State of Pcnnsyl vanin, and after paving a handsome tribute to his memo ry, the Senate adjourned. In the House, Mr. Bullack announced the death of his colleague, and an adjournment immediately (ook place. It is rumored Hint Mr. Clay will resign his seat in.the State shortly after he makes his grand demonstration against the Constitution which is appointed for next Monday: and it is itlsorumored that the ictnark of Mr. More- head yesterday, that Mr. Clay was not the Representative of Kentucky but of the Union has given considerable offence to the Ken tucky Delegation in the House, who insist that Keutncky must have two Senators. Washington, Jnn. 20. In the Senate, to-day, a great number of memorials were presented on the subject of the Bankrupt law, by far the greater numl>er being remonstrances against its repeal. Mr. Bayard presented a memorial from Philadelphia, praying that the law may lie so modified as to include banks, or that it may he repeated ; and avowed himself in favor ol including-banks. Mr. Preston presented a memorial from Philadelphia,' praying lor a repeal ot the law, at)d. remarked that he was so satisfied of the impolicy Of the bill, that he would vote for its repeal. ’ Tim Treasury Note bill was then taken up, the question being on the amendment propos ed by the Committee on Finance. This was opposed hv Messrs. Woodbury, Calhoun, Bu chanan, King and Sevier, and advocated by Messrs. Evans and Rives, and finally adopted —ayes 24, nays, 21. The result wiH proba bly lie a protracted debate in the Senate, and another in the House when the bill goes back again, while the Treasury is utterly bank- rnpt. In the House of Representatives, Mr. Botts inquired of Mr. Cushing how soon it was prob able a report from the Select Committee on the Currency might be expected. Mr. Cush ing said he could not inform him, hut the Committee were attending to their duties with much assiduity, thrice a week. Executive communications were presented with the filial report of the Commissioners ap pointed to run the line between the United States and Texas; and In relation to the Americans captured at Santa Fe, by which it appears that instructions were forwarded on the 3d inst. to our Minister at Mexico, instruc ting him to use his best efforts to obtain the liberation of Messrs. Kendall, Combs, and Howard, and any other American citizens who may l>e found among the prisoners. The presentation of petitions was then re sumed, and the Stales of New York, Vermont, Connecticut, and Rhode Island were called through. A great number ol memorials on the subject of slavery were presented, all of which were laid on the table, or excluded by the 21st Rule. Upwards ol fifty petitions were presented praying an interference of this Government with that of Great Britain for ties deliverance of die Americans in Van Dieman’s land. A great number of memorials, remon strating against the repeal ol the Bankrupt law, were presented, and some praying for its modification or repeal. On motion by Mr. Chittenden, the Committee on the Judiciary was instructed to inquire into the expediency of a hill for a general Bankrupt law, to include all associations and corporate bodies issuing notes and bills for circulation, and such other amendments as they may deem necessary. A petition was presented praying for the recog. nition of Hayli, which was moved to be laid upon the table, but before the question was decided a motion to adjourn was offered and carried. Washington, Jan. 21, 1842. Ir. the Senate this morning the usual abun dance of petitions and memorials on the subject ol the bankrupt law were presented, with, however, a somewhat larger proportion in favor of the repeal. Mr. Calhoun presented a memorial from Charleston, stating that nineteen-twentieths of the citizens were in favor of the repeal. Mr. King presented the resolutions of the Legislature of Alabama in favor of the admis sion of Tex- « into the Union. Also the reso lutions of the same body refusing to receive any portion of the proceeds of the public lands. Mr. Allen introduced a resolution of nearly the same import as the one laid on the table the other day, making inquiries as to the prefera hie means for supplying the deficiency in the revenue, but modified as suggested at the time by Mr. Rives. A motion was made by Mr. Clay to lav it on the table, which was car ried, Mr. Rives himself voting with the ma jority. The Treasury note hill was then taken tip, and Mr. Benton offered an amendment to pro vide lor levying a tax on all bank paper used ns a circulating medium. This wassnpported m short speeches by the mover, and Messrs. Wal ker and Bayard, and opposed by Messrs. Calhoun and King as utterly unconstitutional, and at the request of Mr. K. the amendment was withdrawn. Mr. Wright then submitted an amendment to the effect of authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to issue notes to the amount of the untaken portion of the twelve million loan This was voted down by a party vote, Mr. Evans declaring that they did not intend to confine tl.emselves to providing means for the immediate necessities of the Treasury. Mr. Woodbury then submitted an amend ment, appropriating the proceeds of the public lands for the redemption of the notes issued under the authority of this law. This was negatived, and the hill was then ordered to lie engrossed for a third rending. Mr. Calhoun gave notice of his intention to debate the hill to-morrow. In the House of Representatives, the first business in order was the motion of Mr. John ATHENS, GEORGIA. FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 1842. REROYAL.

The reader will find in our advertising columns, the remarks of the editor of the “ Magnolia” upon his prospects for the present year, and his proposition to the friends of the work—to which we invite attention. We have also to acknowledge the receipt of the Jan uary number, which, from a cursory glance, \vc should judge to be fully equal, if not superior, to any of its predecessors. In mechanical appearance it is much improved, and is now one of the handsomest magazines which graces our table. The “Family Companion.” as will be seen by re ferring to our advertising columns, offers handsome prizes for the best original Tale and Poeui, to be lur- nished before the first of March. Will not some of our Georgia writers strive for it! By the way,we ob serve that our friend Thompson, of the “ Augusta.Mir- ror,” has transferred his list of subsribers, as he will his valuable services, to the “ Companion,” and the two publications will henceforth appear in connexion. A judicious arrangement. “The Brother Jonathan,” from New York city, comes to us since the first inst., in a new and im proved style—furnishing weekly 32 large pages, suit able for binding—and filled with the usual quantum of readable articles. Three dollars per annum is too little for such a work. “Tne New World,” also from New York, now visits us in a handsome quarto form. Of the character of this valuable paper we have heretofore spoken, and we have only time now to say, that we adhere to all our former commendations. “ Every Youth's Gazette.”—This'is tbk-title of a handsome quarto of eight pages, issued weekly from the office of the “ New World,” at $2 00 per annum for a single copy, 83 00 for two copies, or S3 00 for four copies. Its articles will be mainly reprints from English writers, such as Mary Howitt, Mrs. S. C Ilall, Mrs. Southey, &e. and original productions from favorite American authors. Each number is to be embellished with beautiful pictures, of an in structive character. The first number only has been received, frrm which we judge that it will be found a pleasing companion for children and young persons. “ Waldh’s Library,” though last upon the present list, is by no means least in our estimation. Its inde fatigable publisher still continues to entertain his readers with the most popular books of Travels, Biographies, Novels, Essays, Ac. of the day, togeth er with a variety of smaller selected articles, critical notices. &c. The present volume begins with “ Jac querie,” a new novel by James. We are glad to see that the old cover is resumed. Terms, $5 00 per annum. Adam Waldie, Philadelphia, will attend promptly to all orders enlosing the cash. Consignees per Georgia Rail-Road. Athens Depot, Jan. 21, 1843. ‘ Noah Strong, Comming, Forsyth county ; T.

Campbell to lay a motion to receive a peti tion for the recognition of llayti on the table. The motion to lay on the table was negatived ayes 86, noes 94,and the petition was re ferred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. Mr. Adams presented a great variety.of Ab olition petitions, which were ohj-cted to by Messrs. Campbell, Wise and others, and the motions to receive laid upon the table, after a great deal of confusion and tumult. He then presented a memorial purporting to lie from citizens of Georgia who complained of it as a grievance that he was appointed Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, as they considered him as afflicted with a monoma nia on the subject of persons whose color was darker than that of a Mexican. He demanded the right of replying to it, and then hc'wnuld move its reference to the committee on For eign Relations, with instructions to elect their Chairman. This was resisted as out of order, and Mr. Holmes asked if it was in order to consume the time of the House in replying to a hoax. Mr. Hahershnin (and I beg his "par don for naming him, instead of his friend and colleague, on a former occasion) from whose comity the memorial purported to come, sta ted Ins belief that it was a hoax, as he did not know n single person named ou the memorial, which, with all the signatures, was in the same handwriting. Mr. Adams insisted on his right to reply, and such a scene of tumult and disorder was presented, ns is seldom wit nessed in tliut Hall; and it seemed to be es pecially got up for the entertainment of Lord Morpeth, who sat within a few feet of Mr. Ad ams during the whole performance. The whole subject was at lengtlt laid on the table —ayes 94, noes 92, and the House adjourned. Strauge Incident. The Georgetown (D. C.) Advertiser, says: •—“Some weeks ago a man nnmed Miller, ar rived in Washington from the South, his ob ject being.to prosecute a claim against the Government. On Saturday, gd inst., he died, ond being supposed very poor, no one wiuld administer to his effects*. At last Mr. Rives, one of the proprietors of the Globe, undertook the Risk. On the opening of the deceased’s trunk, upwards of thirty thousand dollars were found. Of course Mr. R. will be entitled to fhe per centage allowed to thendmistrators. The property by the will goes to a sister of the deceased now residing in Virginia. Here is another argument for the speedy erection of a hospital iq Washington, for when a stranger is sick, he has but little chance, if supposed to be poor. Guardians, Executors, and Administra tors, Take Notice. The laws of the State of Georgia declare, that “ it shall he the duty ol all Guardians, Executors and Administrators, to render a full and correct account of the state and condition of such estates as they may severally have hi their possession, to the Inferior Court while sitting for ordinary purposes, in the county for which they may have been appointed, in each and even/ year; which account shall contain a statement on oath of the transactions of tjie estate to the last day of December pre- cedi v" such return, together with the neces sary vouchers relating thereto.” ‘And itshall be the duty of the court to direct process to lie issued, returnable to the next court, against all Guardians, Executors,and Administrators, failing to appear and render such account, whether he, she, or they, l>e resident in the same, or any other county.” As the above law has in several instances not been understood, it has been deemed ad visable tints publicly to remind all delinquents of their duty, and to caution others against similar violations of the law.—Macon Mes senger. We would also hint to Executors and Ad ministrators, that it is their duty to “ pay the printer” out of the first proceeds of the estate. Advertising is part ol the expenses of adminis tration, which the law requires to be among the first debts paid. — Washington A r eics.
