The special order was then resumed, and Mr. Wilkins continued his argument on the deposite question. On Wednesday, the 19th, M r. M'Kean presented two memorials from dillerent sections of Pennsylvania on the subject of the depositee. Exception was taken to the reception of these memorials on the ground that they contained language offensive to the diirnity of the Senate. After some discussion, they were laid upon the table. Mr. Wilkins then con cluded his speech on the removal of the deposttes. The bill to repeal the l'Wee ISill was taken up and postponed until the JOth of March. The consideration of the reportof the committee mi Finance was postponed until Monday week. On Thursday, the 'JOth, the Senate ad jmjrned, without transacting any busi ness, for the purpose of attending the fu neral of the late Willinm Wirt, (formerly Attorney General of the U. Stales.) On Friday, tin. 21st, the Senate vn en;Hir'd exclusively in a debate upon eertain memorials concerning the public deposites and tin currency. In the House of Representatives, on Monday, the 17th inst. an tinusu tl hum br;r r memorials, etc. on the fin mciol embarrassment of the country were pre sented, the debate on which consumed the time of the House until the hour of adjournment. On Tuesday, the lath, Mr. GilmerV resolution calling for information mi th subject of the death of Ilardimnn Owens, jot Alabama, was adopted.

INI r. II. said this was a very good ground to stand upon. It might not be critically correct to say a good ground on which to raise a superstructure of retrenchment, but it was a good ground to stand upon to carry into effect very large retrench ments. 13ui he would tell the gentlemen that it was very inadequate. It was en tirely useless to expect any great or ben eficial results from attempting to cut off a little here, and a little there. lie had learned from long experience and obser vation, through a term of between fifteen and twenty years, that he had been a member of the HouSe, the utter futility of micuipimg to mp on tne brunches piece meal; the only remedy was to go at once to the main body of the evil.

And, 1 repeat, that 1 am convinced, from what I have' seen and experienced, that, so long a we have a surplus revenue, w sia ntinue to scramble lor, and apply it to purposes, many of them entirely valueless or mis chievous. As to the bill now under con sideration, he had said lie should votetm the recommitment, because Ik; believed that many (he would bv no means say all) ot the objects were entirely unnecessary.

Resolution of an interesting charac ter were then offered ami sustained in ad dresses by Mr. McDonald and the Rev. Mr. Russell, of the Presbyterian church. A I the close of the addresses, the tern-,-erance pledge; of tottil abstinence was distinctly read, and cards circulated thro' the audience for signatures. Two or three incidents occurred jut then, which gave peculiar interest to the meeting. Mr. TannahdI. of the house of Tannahill & Lavender, who have heretofore dealt j largely in ardent spirits, both here and j in Tarborough, rose and announced to the meeting that he had been authorised to say that Mr. , a merchant wboj had dealt largely in the article in two j stores, had determined to abandon it as; soon as he disposed of his present stock.' Mr. T. then added in a touching man ner, that he himself hud come to the con clusion that if widows and orphans must be made by celling ardent spirits, some body es must do t' he had determined to abandon the trade. It was then announced that several other dealers had determined to order no more of the article.
