In the Senate lo-day, numerisis memorials were presented, principally from New I ork, concerning the Bankrupt law. All of wnich were referred to the Judiciary Committee. Mr. ('lay hud a great variety of petition In pre sent, .ill remonstrating against the repeal or pro!-p-element (lf the Bankrupt law. R-mire miking a motion to rider them, he submitted a few olnerva lions on the subject. In cunclus ), he relerred lo a rumor which had hee:i cirruUled in a in inner fiat demanded some notice ,ai hi hand. Tins ru'iMir wa that he had instigated certain move ments in the other end of ihe Capitol (ihe Home of Representatives). in relation to the repent of the B iiikriiiit law. He scorned lo repel an insinuation so dishonorable, and so niconitent with his whole courn of hie and character. He miuhl as wei be seemed of oritfinaiing the motion nf his friend from Missouri, (Mr. Liun) lo repeal the Dial rih'inuii act. When the Bitikrupt act was on its passage in the other Hoii-w, every onoof the Kenm-ky nelegati'm hoi one voted against it ; and that one on his return home, liudiug re h on lo C mnge his opinion, had now voted for its repeal. It had ben ininuated on l his, that he ( VJ r. Clay ) had dictn'ed to l he Kentucky delegation, and mfi jenced their recent vote.' Those who made the insinuation knew nothing of Ken- luckiatis if Ihey supposed any delegation sotit rnm that State would brook such dictation. And what ever deference of opinion prevailed in the Senate between himself end those who were opposed to him in politics, he could apical to every gentleman in that chamber for Ihe reputation to all uch insin uations. He believed there w not one who would countenance the foul calumny not one who did not believe of him, that whatever may be ihe errors ol the head, the heurt at least waa right, and lhal he bad siuilied to live and die an honest man honest in puldio and private life. Having made these few observations, he moved thai the petition should be referred to the Committee on the Judiciary ; and ihey were referred. .

Mr. Allen aubmitled (he following important re solution, which waa read, vizi RstraVaY That the Secretary of (he Treasury be directed to inform the Senate, a soon aa practicable, whether, in bia opinion, the Government can, in the prevent exigency of it financial affairs, be carried on, without either recalling lo its service the revenue de rived from tbe sale of lb public domain, and which, by an existing act i set apart for distribution to the States; or without drawing irom the people, in addi tion lo their present taxes, an amount equal to lhat re venue, and in consequence of it diairibuikai by mean of increasing the txe now levied upon them, in the form of tanffduties; or, by imposing a new and direct tax upon them; or, by borrowing upon their cremt, in tbe tormof direct losns, or of Treasury notes, lo be paid eventually out ot their labor and property. And if. in his opinion, the Government cannot be so csrried on, without thus recalling the land revenue) or in creasing tbe taxes; or the loan to an amount equal lo that revenue, and, in consequence of its distributMHi ; then whioh of those alternative will, in bis opinion, b the most economical lo the peoples the recall of tbst revenue, the taxes, or the losns 1 Also, tbst he be di rected to lay before the Senate the estimate and the reasons upon which auch bis opiuwos may be founded. Mr. Allen wiahed it consideration at thai time; but Mr. Evana having objected lo it consideration, tbe resolution lies over for future action. -On motion of Mr; Liun, the resolution wa or dered to be printed. ' The bill of Mr. Beuton lo postpone the operation of the Bankrupt law lor two year from the first February, was, n ihe motion of that gentleman, laid on the table pending, the action in Ihe other branch of Congress on that subject.

First, il would make th title in no man ner descriptive of ihe bt I, and was inconsistent with its character. Secondly it was insulting to thn HiHise, as asking it lo pas a reflection on it self ; and thirdly, it was nol true in point of fact. The Speaker decided tbe amendment lo be out of order. Mr. Wm. B.
