The resollitiona'whie are made the order of the day for today " in our Legislature have Just been postponed until this day three weeks," by a strict party,voto. The phstpo . nement was based upon the, fact that the recent 'lnformation from Kansas rendered their puke at this time, utinetenary, as it would prebebiy lead to en amicable adjustment by Canvass of the Kansas difficulty at an early day. However, the resolutions hang like the sword of Denloclea, ready to fall whenever the necessity may'arise. Their morel effect remains the same its if they bad been passed, and we only hope that Congress, meanwhile, may harmonise the party by harkening to the protest of Kans,ts, end securing to the people those rights pleased to them by the Democracy.

From the report of the principal, Mr. Wm. 11. Minter, we learn that this school had been in session fourteen weeks, commencing with 258 pupils,. and numbering in all 443 at the close. The largest number of scholars present on any one night was 282; average nightly attendance during the term 206, and the weekly average 244. The attainments of the scholars varied from en tire ignorahoe of reading, writing, and arithmetic, to that of a' tolerably fair English education. Generally, however, the mass were very imperfect ly educated. The rapid improvement and generally correct demeanor of the pupils during the term Was such as to warrant the assertion that the evening echools ate gradually working 'a reformation in the minds and morals of the young men who at tend them. The report closes with some sugges tions to parents and masters, that they should, from time to time, examine tbo progress made by their children and apprentices. - At the conclusion of the reading of the report, able and eloquent addressee were delivered by the Rev.

It involved one of the merchant princes, in the booke of whose firm the entry ap peared of 887,000 paid for procuring time passage of tbo tariff act. This is a statement based one re sponsible name,. and is an adequate foundation for an investigaion.

Mr. liannis replied that he had before him the names of those who voted for a moditleation of the tariff. Nothing had transpired to Mow in Went direction the money had gone, but from what true piled at the last session, the Democratic side had very little to fear from the present investigatign.

The character or a member of Congress should not be held in lon esteem than that of a petty thief, who entitled to a. fair trial.

Mr. I AnfllM, of Illinois. The gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. (how) says I and others are like the man of old. If ho means to assert that I thank God I am not as some other men, ho is cor rect. If the gentleman will put himself in the position of the other man mentioned in the Scrip ture by way of contradiction, and exclaim " God be merciful to me a sinner" I have no doubt the exclamation would 'meet with a hearty amen from every gentleman on this floor.

When the OW of the late clerk was taken up, why did not the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Grow) protest. Now, he said, a great outrage was toilis committed, rights to be violated, and the m oniedcommitted, arraigned and persecuted in secret, and brought before the Moose for judgment. Mr. STANTON Mild the clerk of the House was the person monad. The Fort Snelling did not involve the rights of any member, or the character of the Mouse.

This was due to the Secretary of War, the Administration, and the Democratic party. Re had notified the chairman of the emir• mittee that he would appear at any time and tell Ms story. He thought that something wee wrong In that sale. but did - not charge it by implication on the Secretary of War. It was all wrong. un wise, and imprudent to sell the buildings at Fort Mr. Sitannaw, of Ohio, with the record before him called attention to the foot that only thirty Republicans voted for the tariff bill on the pas sage, with ninety-eight who opposed the Republi can party. Among the nays only two Democrats voted against it, while seventy Republicans voted against it. Therefore, ho thought the chances of being involved in the charges would be against his friend from Illinois. Mr. Le:rant:ft replickthat one good turn deserves another. He did not consider the charges fie rest ing against the Democratic party, because with the, practical illustration of the last Congress, to ~mane the Republican party stand guilty. Mr. Sitannis responded. If there was any thing wrong, or fraud, or bribery engrafted in the legislation of the tariff bill it was net done by the Republican party, for thirty Republicans only ,voted for and seventy against it, While only two Democrats voted against It. , Several votes were taken on amendments to Mr. Stanton's proposition, when the House adopted the substitute offered by Mr. Leteher, that a select committee of five members be appointed to three tigate the charges preferred against the members and officers of the last House, growing out of the disbursement of any sums of money by Lawrence, Stone, its Co., or other persons, and report the Gets to the House, with such recommendations as they may deem proper, with power to send for persons and papers. Mr. Sraxvox withdrew his preamble, as the Rouse had seen fit to throw the subject in the hands of the Democratic side. Mr. Mums, of Illinois, rising to a question of 'privilege, offered a preamble and resolution pro posing Mr. Matteson's ease be investigated, look ing to his expulsion from the House. As Mr. Mat teson was not present, lie moved that the subject be .postponed till Monday week. Mr. brawny Ilnwitivrr, of New York, stated that Mr. Matteson had gone home in consequence of sickness in hie family.

Mr. BLAIR, of Missouri, wished to offer an amend ment, which was read for information. It called for the testimony suppressed by the Corruption In vestigating Committee of the last Congress, it "being of great importance, and asserted that by snob a suppression the committee failed in the dis charge of its duty.

Pumsnexrnts, January 15th, 1858, The European news shoves a steady amelioration in the London money market, a rapid accumula tion of gold, and easier rates both at the bank and in the discount houses Every indication is pre sented of a plethora of unemployed capital, the Brat effect of which is found in the increasing prices of stooks. T 1 e ewe features are prevalent here, and the stock market shows a fair business at prices which ere not difficult to understand when compared with the prices of six months ago, and the great decline in all other artioles purchased or told. This state of things is alone indicative of a future in which high rates of discount will be rarely deutanded. unless where the risk of loss is propor tionably great. English Consols hate advanced from the lowest point in October 71 per cent. The price was then 901, and It has now ranched 94 for accoent. This advance is about the name as after the panic of 1847, when the lowest point reached was 791, and the recovery at the close of the year was to 851, el-dividend. The rate of bank of England dis- counts, which on the 25th October was fiend at 8 per cent., was reduced at intervals to 7, 0 and 5 per cont. before the end of the year, and by the 15th June following it was 31 per cent. The decline in all kinde of merchandise and produce will be apt to occasion additional fail ures. and capitalists who have succeeded in with drawing their money from commerce and com mercial paper, will, for a time, prefer to invest it Into stocks. While all kinds of inmtment securities are appreciating In price, no paper can be eold unless known to be, beyond a doubt, at rates below one and a half per cent. a month, and but little passes at even Qrese high figures. Favorite piper can be mold at from B to 10 per cent., but the sup ply of it is very limited.

As we write more funds are offering than there are I borrowers for. An agreed case has been made up and submitted to the Supreme Court for testing the right of the people to legalize the payment of the California State debt by vote as they did at the late election; a decision is looked for speedily, and it is not doubted will be affirmative. Owing ton conflict going on in the courts of San Francisco, between the Commissioners of the City Funded Debt and the hoard of Supervisors about some legal technioalities, the City Treasurer is not empowered to remit funds to Now York to provide for the coupons falling duo, but will pay them on presentation at hie office in this city. This lad'. really a violation of the terms upon which the loan was contracted, and will injure the emelt of the oily abroad.
