Mr. Moore, of Kentucky, (Mr. Smith, of Virginia, yielding the fl>or ) offered a resolution—which was read tor information—that the Hon Alexander K Boteler be declared Speaker of the House for the Tiiirty sixth Congress. The Clerk said that the resolution was out of or der, as objections bad been made and other ques tions were pending. Mr Moore remarked that he introduced the reso lution hones'.iy, hoping that it would meet with the Bpcioba'iou ot the majority of the House. He trusted all nad earnestly endeavored, since the lirst day of meeting, to effect an organization, and been governed by the same hotmety, candor, and frank ness by which be himself had been actuated. Mr. Barksdale r.rn'oded the gentleman that the resolution bad been objected to. ar.d the gentleman, therefore, had no right to debate the subject. Mr. Moore replied that the gentleman from Vir ginia bad yielded the floor to him. Mr. Smith said he did *o for the purpose of hear ing what the gentleman had to say. Mr. Moore replied, all he wantsd the gentleman to bear was what he had to say'. [ Laughter.l Mr. Smith supposed that what Mr. Moore had to say was embraced in his resolution, and that he had no idea of yielding the floor for him to debate. Mr Moore was exceedingly grateful to the gen tleman for permitting the resolution to be read, and had nothing further to say. Mr K'igor--appealed t > Mr. Smith to forego his remarks until to moirow, in order that the might vote for Speaker until two o’clock to-day and then adjourn Mr. Smith waa willing to yield the floor for that purpose. Mr. Stewart of Maryland, thought Mr. Smith had better conclude his spetch now. Mr. Smith aecotdiug y resumed hi# remaik* He declared hmeef a ein ere and loya' fr.ead to the Constitution auu the Cm- n.

A resolution was adopted that no vote for Spea k r be taken before ] o’clock to-morrow. there was very much contusion, Borne gentlemen being enxtous tor an adjournment, wlile others were desirous to remain. During the conversation which teak place on the subject of an adjournment, Mr. Webster said that hitherto be bad always voted yea on motions to aojouin, knowing that no damage to the country could be done when the House was not in session. Having been home and consulted his coustituen’?, aud beiug satisfied that the ersis is past, he should qow change his course and vote against it. Mr. Hughes, believing that the crisis we? rot yet parsed, v.ouid vote yea for the reason stated by hie eo'leagne. Mr. Hiil remarked that some distinguished man u.td said that ali things must have an end, aud he presumed that Mr. Smith’s speeoh would have an end lLaughter ] He would move that Mr. Srndh be permitted to continue h : s remarks u itil they «»r<? finished, and that the House stand adjourned until their conclusion. Mi. Smith earnestly said lie did not see why gen tlemen shi uld wish to treat him in that way. lie had yielded the floor dey after day, and now, after hi had indicated a wish from the beginning to grati fy R Dumber ol gentlemen who wished to adjourn, there seemed to t© an effort made to treat him with disrespect, and force him to speak to empty benches. He knew not why he was eo treated—by friends cj well as fees. Finally the House adjourned. IN SENATE Deo. 27. The President's Annual Message was sent in this morning Mr. Iverson moved that it be read. Mr. Coilamer objected, on the ground that the undeistanding between Senators was that 110 busi ut ss should be done during Christinas week. The question was debated by Messrs. Davis, Fetsenden, Bayard, and others, aid the motion to read Anally agreed to. Ayes, 28; nays, 12. The Secretary then commenced reading the Message at half-past 12 o'clock. Its reading being concluded, Mr. Brown said that at some proper time he j < *sired to make some remarks upon the message. 1 would not do so now, as he did not wish to I violate the agreement that had been entered into, j ID would iuggeel that it beiaiu on the table for the | present. Mr. Clingman thought the best way would be to postpone its lurther consideration until tl.e 3d of I January. Mr. Bright saw no reasons why the usual course I should not bs followed, and moved that tire mee ; ? ig” aud accompanylr.g documents be piiuted for the use of the Senate. He would not ask the im mediate consideration of ihat motion. It could be entered on the journal aud lie over, for no printer had as yet been elected That couice was pursued, acd theu the Senate adjourned until Friday next. HOUSE. The Pres dent’s arnual Message was received as •Oi a as the House met. Mr. John Cochrane moved that It be laid on the I table until the House was organized. Mr. Cra'ge of North Carolina, moved to amend the motion, so that the message be received and read. M*. Cochrane accepted the amendment amid mt h excitement. The Republican side called for the yeas and nays. A caiiof the House was theu ordered. Mr Staunton argued that there was no prece dent for reading the meseage when not organized. Mr Craige then withdrew his amendment, and Mr Cochrane's original motion was agreed to. Mr. Smith of Virginia, resumed his remarks from yesterday, showing that there waa no peace resukiog from the compromise measures of 1850, for the pulpits aud alolitioDists of the North from the tirs* made war upon them. He stated that Win. Lloyd Garrkori was, as be had been informed, an unnaturalized Englishman. If this was so he de sired a contradiction ot his assertion He said that the South had a right to demand cf the NoitL the putting down of treason and the stoppage ot in cendiary publication?, and that the South must arm to provide against such forays as those of John Brown at Harper’s Ferry’. They must pur sue a defensive policy and prepare for the wrath to Come. Me. .Smith spoke nearly three hours to day.— When Le concluded his remarks, Mr Houston atked ieave to offer a resolution in effect, proposing to name a temporary Speaker, Lr ten days, in the meantime to read the Presi dent’s Message, to sign eueh bill as may be parsed tor tbo relief ot the Post Office Department, etc. The Republicans objected to this, and the House was then called preliminary to voting.

Ab the inmates escaped save one, a Mrs. Lyon? who reached the front door, but, becoming btwil' dered, could not open it Her screams for help were heard ali over the neighborhood, but before assistance could reach her, lbs entire building was inflames. Her body was found amid the ruiiiß two hours afterwards. Toe unfortunate victim leave? four children. Detective officer W&mbold, arrested a man and a woman, named Welch, living in the basement, on suspicion of setting fire to the place. A Coroner’s inquest was held, and the testi mony was veiy strong against them. Selling bv Samples.— A worthy young mer chant of this city brings our attention to the fact, that Northern Drummers are even now selling im mense quantities of goods, in tics region, by sample. The agent of one firm, in New York, dealing in bat?, to d him a few day? since, that he had sold f 25,000 worth of goods, in this region, by sample. Mayur Witters, of Mobile, we learn, ha? reaped quite a harvest for the coffers ol his city, by fii ing each of these Drummers SSO, when brought before him. Something of the sort might be dote here; but the better plan to protect our merchants who pay taxes on their sab.-., is to get an act passed by the Legislature taxing the Sample men so heavily as to bleak up the business. It is likely that a bill to that efleet will be introduced, as soon es the Legislature re assembles. —Montgomery Mail. Senator Brown, of Mississippi, intimated on Tuesday his intention to attack that part of the President’s Alessage which suggests the judiciary as the proper tribunal to aff.ird an adequate remedy in -;ases ot interference with the right of the master to hi? slave in the Territories, instead of recom mending congressional action for protection.
