The minority report admits, indeed, impropriety of conduct, and irregularities and violationsofduty, but ac quits the Department, so far as the evidence goes, of iniquity of motive■ As soon as the reading was concluded, at about half past three o’clock, a sharp little skirmishing debate sprang upon the Bill which accompanied tho report, for the re-or ganization of the Department. This bill con tains twelve sections, and completely changes the whole constitution and arrangement of the Office. Mr. Grundy, after the bill had been read, desired after the second reading, that it might be re-committed, for tho purpose of being more de liberately examined to the Committee •*„ 0 m, sta (lug that he himself wished more lime to exam iuesomeof its provisions, whilst to others he w.a. disposed to give his immediate asseut.

Before, however, this motion was disposed of. a debate arose, the range of which grew more ex tensive with every speech, and was finally arrest ed, just as Air. Southard had obtained the floor, by irmotion for ndjqurnment, at half past four o’clock. The debate will ofeourse lie .resumed tomorrow, and will no doubt be made to cover a still more extensive surface of subject. Mr. Porter asked Mr. Grundy if-auy bill had beeu presented last Session fn* relieving the Post Of fice from its embarrassments; Mr Grundy hav ing replied in tho negative, Mr. Potior replied that Ins colleague and himself had been Charg ed rn a letter from tho President, in reply to ouo from New Orleans, With having-participated iu refusing to pass such a measure, and that in consequence ot that charge, ho and his colleague had beon censured at home. Mr. Calhoun soon afterwards expressed his mortification and'as tonishment at the facts exhibited in-the report of the committee.. .Mr. l’reston asked if there was lo be no actiou on the report in tiny more s it> isfoctory form than .bis prospective legislation ? He asked whether if this were the only mode of remedy devised, the people mi£ht not be let! to the inference, that all the evils charged ngainl tho <lc- nartment were ire rely attributable lo its mal-or- ganization, and could not be fairly ascribed to any malfeasances i<»office? He and Mr. Cal houn thought that resolutions of censure ought to be -repotted ; that there was sufficient ground for the action of the oilier house, so as to bring indi viduals before the rieuate in its judicial charac ter. It was said by Mr. Preston that the plague spot Was upon the infant, aud they ought so to act as to preserve tho whole of tho body politic from tho infection of tho foul aud loathsome.— Air, Cuthhert charged the Senator from S. Car olina with attempting to make a party question of it, nnd complimented the Commitico ou the wiser course they had takpn iu reporting a bill without any resolutions. There were replie from Mr.'Calhoun and Mr, Preston, after which 'lr. Cuthhert modified liis tons and phraseology, and Mr- Southard then rose to reply to the sug gestion concerning the report and resolutions.— But be had only time to proceed as far as to say that this mode-had been talked of in the Com mittee, when the House adjourned.” ■ of Ji .P hi- cm; iho light ol i ) would be an a Ued what were waiting ;*h j i intended brio HOUSE’OF REPRESENTATIVES. Thcrsdat, Jan 29. After the reading of the Journal. Mr Pickens, of South Carolina, ruse and ad dressed tho House as follows: ... - Mr. Speaker: It becomes my melaneliolly and of it, speak trom information, but (rom painful duty to announce to this House tffe death j timi entirelv to be relied on.j ■' of one of my colleneues, Warren R. Davis, of As the President ol the United States, morning, n feiv i was present ju the solemn ccromonv of tho WASHINGTON. JAN. 31.—The funeral of tile late lamented Warren R. Davis, of South Carolina took place yesterday, from the Capi tol. aqconling to previous arrangement. The gloom of the day rendered the occasion yet more gloOtny. Neither House of C’ongiess transacted business afterwards ; the Senate adjourned over to Monday. An occurrence look place at the elesu of tiie ceremony at the Capitol which produced natu rally a great sensation at the time, which can lie heard by uoonetvitbotiusbudderhig, and which,; ! if the cousnquencehad oeen equal to the appar- I out purpose, would have signalized the day by a I horrible catastrophe. [We were not witnessess of it. and on account 'nformar-, have them printed. Mr. Clay * made' objections. Mr, Benton answered, ami pledged himself t bring, at an early day, his promised motion to expunge from the journal the resolutions of the last session adjudging President Jaeksotr guilty of violarug the laws and constitution. Mr. King, Air. Calhoun, Air. Preston, Air. Clayton, and other Senators, took part in the debate, The result of the whole was that tho resolutions of the Stale were not printed ! th question being taken, as was duo to she occasion, when the . voice of the Slate was to be stifled! by yeas aud nays. Some of thesoi-disant State Rights party happened to vote against estate Rights oh that trial! .Such was the result of an attempt to print the resolutions of a sovereign State, in that body which is (ought to be) the peculiar guar dian of what is rightful am? respectful to the Stales* and where mountains of trash for the Bank of the United States, ai.d any trash, in any quantity, for thff benefit- of the Nullification, printer, is daily ordered id be printed, with out ‘ a moment’s .hesitation, by the same party which refused, ou yeas aud nays, lo print the legisla tive voice of Alabama, But these resolutions are favorable to President Jackson ! For the rest, it was vis i>ie, from the manner in wbich the debate ivasconducted, that the mo tion to expunge the condemnatory resolution from the Journal, which will now soon be made by Mr. Renton, in conformity to Iris notice On Wednesday, that this resolution will give rise to the most animating debate of the session. The subject itself is oue ofthe greatest importance and is, besides, novel in onr country*; riieques tions will be grave and iinposiug ; lo less than questions of the violation of the constitution of the Uuitcd States by the Senate of the United States, and the subversion of all the forms of criminal justice; and that iu the person of ihe President of The Unite u .-states, and in relation to his conduct towards the Bank of the United States, which was then acting so fearful a part in tho politics, the morals, and the pecuniary af fairs of the country ; these questions to be dis cussed before tho Senators, and by tho Senators, who were the actors in passing the condemnatory resolution. We say to be discussed by them, aud before them ! We do not say,-to be decided by them ! for, although they may go through ihe forms of giving votes on their own conduct, that conduct,will be judged by another tribunal! the tribunal of the American People ! • Such being, tho novelty and the importance of the questions involved in the debate, it would be difficult for the imagination to suggest any tiring to increase!, and heighten its interest. But 4 /bc/ performs the office which imagination might have failed at, and presents two additional circumstances of the highest moment to give interest to this debate! It is the present and future actiou uf the States. State after State is now pouring it-, voica upon this subject, instructing their Senators to, vote for the expurgation. Some Senators will deny the right of the Slates to give the insiructio'ns ; olhers will admit the right of in terms, and de feat it in practice-; writ admit the right of tho State to instruct them, but will prevaricate themselves out of all obedience to it. Thus a great dehatciu the Senate, and after that a great contest at home betw een the friends aud the ene-' lilies of the right' of instruction, is going to take place ; and the issue is to show whether the American People, at the end of tho first half century of their existence, are tu lose the right of self government. One good effect will be in evitable ; it will draw the line, broad and high, between the Democracy ou oue side, and the Federal—Bank—National Republican —Whig party on the otln-r.—Globe. n uUlficrs, ; im | na;; -V VermontcHt *■ open with a Mi,.; ’ [umrilriii from Ihe C ourt Of King J,.},,, % Frenchman seized a stout lady |,y t|jj r ■- wheeled her about three or ionr’tii ni ,_ 1 " with the uuu itural effort—and cat.edi/x ol water.
