After the exorcises were concluded, the order of which will be found below, Wm.

After tlie reading of the Journal of the Senate, Mr. Dunagan moved to reconsider so much of the action of tlie Senate, of Tuesday, as author ized an election of a Senator for G years from the 4th of Murch, 1849, (tho scat now occupied by Air. Colquitt) Mr. Dunugan sustained his mo tion by coutendiugthat it would be a violation of the constitution to proceed to the election. Ho urged upon tho Senate a similar argument to that which he enforced on Tuesday. Air. For man followed, and referred to Elliott’s Debates on adopting tho constitution. Ho oontondod that to elect a Senator at this timo would ho to elect him for eight years—our Senators should come fresh from the people. He, made a forcible ar gument in favor of reconsidering, and remarked that the lecture, on Tuesday, from the Senator of the 24th Dist ta the Democratic side of the Senate, came with a bad graco from gentlemen who had consumed several days in electing Solicitors, and would refuse a day to elect ttvo U. S. Senators. Dr. Ferrell (of 24th Hist.) roso and replied to tho last romark of Air. Forman. Dr. T. contend ed that the Senators wero tho advisers of the Ex ecutive and should therefore be elected in. The Senators cannot be tho representatives of tho people, bocauso the people chango thoir opinions during tlie period the Senators hold their office, and illustrated his positiou by the change in tho Representative Branch of Congress. Mr. Roese'(bf the 34th District) made a few remarks and called for the previous question. Air. Chastain appealed to Air. Reese to with draw the previous queition. Air. Dunngatj inquired of the Chair what would bo tho eflect of the previous qnestion; and the Chair stated that the main question would bo the question to reconsider. The provious question was sustained.—yoas 22, nays 21. • On-the inption to reconsider, the yeas wore 19, nays 25. Air. Forman presented the petition of Samu el F. Wyitemf». a gpeurity of,George F.

The American steamer Washington left New York tate in the afternoon of tho 23d September, rsachod Southampton oh the 8th of October, in fifteen days. The, difference in tlie distance ber tween the Liverpool, and Southampton route is about three hundred miles.: The French steamer Union, which sailed from this oity on tlie 30th September, hod not arrived outwhen the Caledonia loft. Accounts from Havro are to the 17tb, thus giving her at least seventeen days. The following extracts arc but a specimen of a number which came to hand by-the Caledonia. One is from a lady:, “Tho ship is superior in evory point. Wo took tlie wind in our teeth at Sandy Hook, nnd kept it for niue'successive days, with a ten knot breozo oil tho while, aud at tho expiration of that timo a succession of galeslfrom tho same quarter came on, which lasted till wo were within a dny of Southampton. The ship is tho best sea boat in tho world, as I believe, standing upright iu all winds nnd woather.” “The voyage was much moro pleasant than I expected, although we had a severe gnlo oil tito way; but never did a vossol porform its duties more gallantly than tho Wosnington; but owing to tho head winds ail tho way across, we made u much longer passage across than was oxpect- Slr Robert, or others high. in political influence. .If England but had our late illustribus financier, Air. Biddle, how speedily sho would be relieved. Alas for England, ahe does not understand her disease: Her position, after all her reforms, is fictitious. She lives by legislative protection. Her religioniscrushed tinder tito enormous weight of a state hierarchy, her industry under a selfish aristocracy, and her money matters under a great central bank. She must recognize the equal rights of men, instead of treading down the mosses under the heavy feet x>f her hard-hearted royalty and no bility. She must open the land to labor, and give real worth an open road to success. Already the cry of hunger is heard, Agitin from miserable, op pressed Ireland. The work-shops of England ore turning their millions out of employment just -at the beginning of winter. Some other system must be adopted than that of stripping the poor of the means of living, and then requiring those who have stripped them to provido, almshouses to roceive them. How happy are we, rid of a Nutional Bank. If tho sinews of onr wealth were now all concen trated in the great clutch of a regulator, every thing would bo in confusion. But we are regula ted by God’s laws, aud thoy aro always easy to the obedient Willmer’s Times of the 19th says, in a Post- seript,that the deputation had returned unsuccess- fill; but that was impossible, for this deputation did not leave Livorpool until the evening of tito 18th.

Harris of Baldwin, moved that the resolu- tion just passed be carried by the Clerk to tlie Senate. Air. Jackson, of Walton, opposed the motion, declaring himself opposod to such hot haste on the part of the gentlemen on the other side of the IIouso. Thore getiemen are all dignified—the geutlomenwhom thoy have nominated are digni fied—the party with which they are associated are the dignified party—and, thoreforo, thero should be some grace—some propriety observed in,this matter. Such a proceeding, said Air. Jackson, deprived the minority on this floor of thKr privi lege of moving n reconsideration of the Journals, and fttrnishing as they might bo able, new lights ou the subject, so os to change, perhaps, the votes of some of tlie members. Air. Harris, of Baldwin, briefly responded, and the motion was agreed to by yeas and nays—yeas G5, nays 63. The votes in tho House to-day—65 to 63—in dicate the party compioxion in that Branch of the Legislature.

The Washington Union has tho following of ficial annunciation: Post Office Department. November 6,1857. The British government having seen fit to chargo with ftiil postage across (he Atlantic the mnil matter which was actual[f conveyed across it by tlie United States mail strainer Washington, it became necessary, as a moosuro of selt-pro- tection, that this government should take the stops therein authorised, for terminating the subsisting arrangement between tlie two coun tries, in relntion as woll to British mails in transit through this country Lr their colonial possessions on tills continent, os hie ordinary mail intercourse between those possessions and tho United States. This was accordingly done; nnd the arrange ments will, in consequence, terminate on the six teenth day of the present- month. The nocessory result will be that on and after the sixteenth instant, no moil matter destined for anv of the British possessions on this continent, willbe permitted to leave tlie United States, un less the United States postage thereon is previ ously ftiUy pnid, CAVE JOHNSON, Postmaster General. DEPUTATION TO GOVERNMENT ON THE PRESENT ALARMING STATE OF TRADE. We havo been favored with the following com munication from his Worship the Aluyor: • To the Editor of the Liverpool Times. Sin,—I think it right to state to you, for tito in formation of the public, that, at the united request ofthe several Mercantile association of thistown, I have consented to proceed to London this after noon, in order to ropresont to the Government the deplorable condition of mercantile affairs. I have invited Air. Win. Brown, Air. Cnrdwell. Air. Charles Turner, Mr. Horsfall, Air. Hornby, und Air. Nicol, to accompany me; nnd I hope their statements may bo such as will induco the Government to interfere. I um, Sir, your obedient sorvnnt. GEO. H. LAWRENCE, Mayor. Town-hall, 18th October, 1847. We understand that it is tho intention of tlie [entlemen composing this deputation, tp ask the xovernment to adopt a similar course to that ta ken by Air. Pitt, in the great panic of 1793, when tiiatgreat Alinistor at once restored confidence,by the offer of a loan of Exchequer Bills, on Pro duce. The sum offered by Air. Pitt to tlie com mercial world, was Five Aidlious; but confidence was restored by the advance of little moro than half that sum. Wlmt is wanted, at the present moment, is security that property will not be sac rificed, or ruinously depreciated, by being forced on glutted markets. An offer o! an advance of Two or three Alillions may _ save ten times that a- mount of property from being tints sacrificed,and thus put aft end to tiint frightful depreciation of produco and inanufrctures, which is rapidly dcs- lying commercial confidence; und which tlirent- s, ifnotarrested, to closo almost every Alill iu the country, and to throw the whole population on the poor rates, during tho approaching winter.
