In.thc Senate this morning, a memorial was presented, praying that the pay ol mem bers ot Congress may be reducer! to live dol ■Jars perylay, iheir mileage (o ten dollars for every hundred.miles, aiid that the"long ses sion should be closed by the first of May. ,M. Clay introduced the'following resolu tiops, which he said had been the subject ol consults lion with some of his friciuls, and some of them -had oiet with their general concurrence, which he hoped would be yet extended to all. Tins resolutions were then read'as follows: , 1. Resolved, That it is the duty of the General Government, in' conducting its ad ministration, to provide for an adequate re venue within the year to meet the current expenses qf the that any expedient either by. loan or by Treasury notes, to sup ply,' in time of. peace, a deficiency of reve nue, especially..'.during successive years, is unwise, and must lead to pernicious conse q.uences. , 2. Resolved, That such an adequate rev enue cannot be obtained by duties on foreign imports, without adopting a higher rate, than twenty per cent, as provided Tut in the Com promise Act, Which at the time of its pas sage, was supposed and assumed as a rate that would supply a sufficient revenue fur an economical administration of the-Govern ment- ’ - ’ ' ’ 3. Resolved, therefore. That the rate ol duties on foreign importer ought to be aug mented beyond'tlio rate of.twenty per cent, so as to produce a nett revenue of twenty six millions of dollars—twenty-two for the ordinary, expenses of Government, two for this payyient of the existing debt, and twlT luiHiona.as.a rtserved fund for contjflgwK tiios. - ' 4. Resolved,'. That in the adjustment of a tariff to raise an amount of twenty-six-mil lions of revenue, the principles of the .Com promise Act generally shuuld-be adhered to; and that, especially, a maximum rate of ad valorem duties should' be established, from which there.ought to be as little' departure v as possible, ’ v -• , • J . • 5. Resolved, That ilie prjovisUvn,VAfs,v«--ati; * of.-4he extra',session, fim the distribution jif v, 4 he; pfSc%e«U' > ■ the operation.of that'acfto be suspended, in the cohtiugencyof a higher rate of duty than 20 per c.ent. ought to be repealed. 6. Resolved - , That it is the duty of the Guvernmcnt at all times, but more especial ly in a.season such as now exists of general _em.bautassment-and-pccuniar-y-distreS&,-to-a~ bolish. all useless instilull'ins and offices, to curtij,il.,,all„ I ppiieccssary,, expenses,' and to practice rigid economy. 7. Resolved, That the contingent expend - ses of the two Houses of Congress ought to be greatly-reducedpand themiieifgcofmem —bers of Congress ought to ba regulated and more clearly definid. 8. Resolved, That the expanses of the judicial department of Government have, of late years, been greatly increased, and ought to be diminished. ' ' 9. Resolved, That'the diplomatic relations of the United States with foreign powers have been unnecessarily extended during the last . twelve years, and ought to be reduced. 10. Resolved, That the franking privilege ought to be further restricted, the abusive uses of it restrained and punished, the post age on letters reduced, the mode'of estimat-' ing distances more clearly defined and pre scribe I, and a small addition to postage made on books, pamphlets, and packag s, Iran's ■ milted by the mail, to be graduated and in creased according to their respective weights. ' 11. Resolved, That, the Secretaries of Stale, of the Treasury, of the War, and of the Navy Departments, and the Postmaster General, he severally diretted as soon as practicable, toVeport what offices can be a , bolisbed, and what retrenchment of public expenditure can be made without public de triment in the respective branches of the . public service under their charge. Mr. Clay wished a day might be assigned fur the consideration of thehesulutiuns, and suggested this day week. ■ MivCalluiuncuusidered the resolutions of the very greatest importance; calling for the fullest examination, and the'most deliberate action;.aml to afford Senators the opportu nity fur a full discussion, he would when .they were taken up, move .that'..the. Senate -resulve-itselfunto a'.cummittec of the whole •in the State of the Union. The resolutions, ■ be believed, iVent fur an entire change of law, involved ajyiulatipn of the compromise act, and an increase of the burdens of the jieople. • ' Mr. Clay was not opposed to. a thorough jexa mi nation anddiscu ssion pf t hcraiml u tip. n s, and thought he would be able to show that they involved no violation of the compromise act.„ Hemuved that the resolutions be made the order of the day for 'l‘hursday:week;; " which was agreed to.

The-House then adjourned. SPIVCJAE MESSAGE. Ta the Senate anil Housed of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, - Gentlemen stated 'tu you i n'lny mea sage of the fifth 'inst., that I had taken the precaution, oh tlie '2slh day of, November last, underMlie authority of the resolution authorizing a loan passed the sth May 1841, to call upon the banks,-which by the terras of their charters were bound to loan a sum not exceeding five per.oent..of their capital tadhe "Commonwealth; to,hold themselves' in readiness -to.advance the balance which might he legally required ut them on the Ist of February instant—a copy of which is herewith transmitted. This notice was sent to alt the banks in the State, which were bound to loan to the State in pursuance of said law. On the Ist instant, finding that ,”m all probability the bank of Pennsylvania would be unable'to meet the payment of the interest due at this period,’! made acqui sition upon a number of banks in. the city and county of Philadelphia,’in pursuance of said previous notice; and subsequently after my return to ibis place, on the 4th day of February instant, on all the other banks in the Stale that were required by law to make said loan,-'copies of which requisitibns are herewith-transmitted to-you. . Among the.banks upon which this requi- -jtion was made,-was the bank of Chambers -burg. Tliis bunk has refused to loan the. State the sum required by the terms and of its charter. A copy of the letter of the President of the bank contain- ing the refusal is also herewith transmitted to you. One of the grounds upon whicli the js predicated, as appears by the, letter is*, that the bank has loaned the* State money to the amount, of five per cent, other capital, V wh,ftlvlgsjs^ siii r afc that any; such loan Was. everala<le,Anyureuaae'eo< ;^t(\e‘6th■Sectioo, of the act of the 35th" March, 1824, entitled “An act to re-charter curtain banks.” One of the provisjons of that section is, that “whenever the legislature of the State may require it, each bank-hereby chartered, shall loan to the Commonwealth any sum not cx ceeding five per ceht._oii,.its_capital-~stoek actually paid in,”. &c. "(This'bank was in cluded in said.act.) Nor am I aware, that the legislature .authorized'd loan to be thus' taken, yrlnch has been enforced against said bank. . ■ Another position assumed:by the bank, is; that under.the. resolution.of .the, 3d .April, 1840, it took twenty-four thousand dollars of State stock, and under the law of the 4ih- May last, issued sixty-six thousand dollars of small notes. It is probably sufficient to remark, that the stuck tiken under the resolution of the Sd April,lB4o, was,the voluntary actof the bank. It was a loan made to the State upon an offer, or proposition, presented by an act of the legislature, which that institution was at liberty tp accept or refuse, as, iq her o pinion, would beat subserve her interests. That loan was taken with a full knowledge of the law, and conscious that by the very terms under which every act was dune the legislature had the power of compelling the .loan now demanded, on any occasion when it might deem expedient to assert the claim. One of the conditions of the charter—a part of the contract made with the. Common wealth—and fully assented to by the bank, was, that this loan should be made to the State whenever the legislature should re quire it. In my opinion, there is no injustice in this requisition thus sanctioned byjaw, and being one of the terms on which this corpo ration received and continues to exercise its chartered rights. The important question submitted for your consideration is, whether, the law shall be enforced. - In order■to-prese'nt the-subject in a clear light before you, the State Treasurer, on the 9lh instant, drew his draft upon the,bank for thirteen two hundred dollars, which was presented at thc'counter of the bank during business hours,/.payment of which was refused by its officers, and the same was regularly protested. Copies of the draft and protest are annexed.. Under these circumstances, to resort to legal proceedings in a court of justice'the Commonwealth is met by-.the great delay incident to judicial.investigations, which is' .probably the implied legal"course of.: pro ceeding contemplated by the act of 1824. " ’But when we reflect' upon the- flagrant outrage committed bv this bank—-when we see it .violating the faith pledged to the; state on-obtaining its chaffer—disregarding the p.roinise made at the time to. aid the Com-; monwealth' in the hour of necessity, it ap pears. to.nie-worthy... the.grave_consideration_ of the legislature, whether, under the facts now you will not declare the charter of this bank-forfeited, and devise the proper means for liquidsting.its affairs. It was under, the act of 1824, above referred .tpj.Jhat the charter jvks. granted. By the ■9th section of the act it is provided, ‘‘lf it shall appear that the charters and privileges , by ; this act,granted to any of; the. banks herein .mentioned aire injurious to the .citi zens of this Commonwealth, the legislature, reserve full power to alter, revoke, and. an nul them, of any of them, at any ..time they may think proper,” It is for, yon to deter mine whether,this,is not the proper time.— If a bank is unwilling to aid the* Common wealth in the hour of difliculty. pr asaist in sustaining the. credit .and honor of ithe State —rjf »he refuses to comply with'the con ditions of-her charterand bqfdlyiyiqlate^the law.isnotsuchaninstitution'finjuriousto •the citizens of IW Commonwealth?^ ;■ 1 would therefore recommend, that an act bapaßsedUeclaringthechafteroflhetJham , bersbufg bank to.be forfeited—.for, when an institution, has wilfully’ violated'the law—■ utterly disfegarded'the ,conditions oh which the chartered privileges hoW asserted were ■enjoy ment of these, great: benefits, is gone. ’ v It would- undoubtedly furnish 4 salutary example to all other• batiks-who might be ;»iwjflrjy iwHned;tif;violate |hf solemn nb- I libation they-are under-lo the ,public* •• f think the legislature owe it to tlipir own dig , nity to adopt the course above recommended, j Every attempt.thus to trifle with the majesty of the law should be met at the threshold ' : DAVID R.

FLOODS IN !NEW YORK'.^he'New York papers of last week are filled'.wlt'li’a'c counts.of disasters occasioned by die'late floods, along tire vatlies of the Susquehanna, the Mohawk, {he Chenango, and other riv ers. -The Moiiawk- bridge at Utica was'car ried away about So’clock on the murnitig of the 10th instant:— , j “Pieces of float wood struck the bridge— a tremendous crash, succeeded by the cry of the guard for help, was heard —and uvvay Went the bridge, carrying with it two of the guard,-whoJiiid-beeiLunabljo to.make their escape. The timbers floated rapidly down the current until they struck Miller’s bridge half a mile'’below, which they did with great force, when a part bilged under water. Jno. McGee, a young man of great diring, made an extraordinary leap,.and succeeded in sa ving himself. Unfortunately, Mr. George VVoodford was upoirlhe-sinking end of-the bridge, and in imminent danger ;pf' being crushed. With great presence of mind, in an instant, he tore ,oflf Ids overcoat, & dove deep into the water, passing cntirely.undcr the timbers, and not rlsing'to the surface until he hid passed both .bridges. Not hav ing been able to free himself from his hoots and other garments, he. became much -ex - hausted by this wonderlul feat; but at this moment he secured floating planks, and pla cing himself upon them, was carried ’down the stream at a rapid rate neai-hiilf a mile, when his-raft struck upon a quantity of lod ged brush and lloudwoud. On this pile he endeavored to save himself; but in getting Upon it, he lust his plunks. The horror of his situation may. be imagined. Midnight darkngss prevailed—he was in the midst of a rapid current, surrounded by floating ice, and a heavy rain was beating-on his bare bead; he feels die pile beneath him giving way; in a moment all is dissolved, pud a hgmi|,.he .ia v cuiix C eUed to swi in ford.i fbtßg-. conjing greatly, qldl led, he finds Ids ,(as{. fading fltmd] .‘one cftWt more;' lie makes for a tree; with die utmost difficulty lie readies'it, and climbs into its branches.

The water in the North Branch, during the recent freshet, is'said to have been high cr than it has been since 1805. Below we give extracts showing the extent of the de structions occasioned-by it: The Bloom Democrat states that a'stable, a Blacksmith shop and several hogs, were seen- passing, down the river, Fishing creek Aqueduct will undoubtedly have to be rebuilt, in consequence of the damage it lias sustained. The Danville Democrat says: The North Branch Canal has suffered much, (he waters rushed over the towing path with ■ great vehemence on several places,, causing two small breaches a short distance above towtf. A large Break occurred in the towing path near Catawissa. J , Down the river, the canal is said to-have been, inj.u'red very much, which is so much the more to be deplored as the state finan ces are in a sad condition for expending much;_mOney in having the necessary re pairs madeforthwith.
