The house resumed the considersdop of• the report of the committee of the whole house, on the Bill extending the right of suflTrage to the Mississippi terri tory. Mr. Bibb ofL-red the following amendment to the last section of the bib— “ provided that this act shall not take effect until the consent of the Legislature of Ueorgia thereto shall have been signifi ed.” On this motion a very lortg and dis missive debate ensu-d, rather directed to the nients of the bill, and the right of Congress to pass it, than to the propriety of the proposed amendment. At the question on the amendment was taken by veas and nays and lost—-Ayes 86 —Noes 55. 7’he bill was ordered to be eng r ossed and have a third reading to-morrow. Mr. J.

Mr. J. Clay hoped the reading of the petition would be dispensed with, it being great length. Mr. D. R. Williams called tor its read ing. The rending having commenced, Mr. Ely moved for an adjournment—Out of order” was heard in different pares oi the house. Mr. Ely considered a motion for ad- I journment always in or lei. ’ Mr. Alston thought it could not be in order when a paper was reading. Mr. Cook hoped the gentleman from South Carolina, would withdraw his call for reading, a? it was disagreeable to so many members at that time. Mr, D. R. Williams would not be inti midated out of artfTight which he possess, ed as a member of < hat house. Mr. Cook moved that the reading of the petition be postponed. The Speaker said a question could not J be taken on that motion, as every member had. by the rules of the house, a light to have a paper read. Mr. Fisk read tha r ule of the house, sta ling that a question should be iakt-11 when the reading of a paper was called for. The speaker said that rule was always construed to extend only to papers on the files of the house. Mr. Quincy said if that was the rule of ihe house, it would lead to bad conse quences* A petition might be presented containing a direct insult to this house. 6’hould any one member insist on its being read, under this interpretation ol the rule, the house would be obliged to sit and hear itself abused. After some fai ther remarks from half a dozen members at a time which was pretty much the case through the whole oi this dispute, the Speaker decided the motion for adjournment to be in order.— lhe question of adjournment was pul and car* . 1 ied- After some time the speaker reduc ed the house to a-sufficient degree oi or der to declare the adjournment.
