VOL. LVI. FIE,FALD AND EXPOKTOR• CONGRESS. Wednesday, Jan. 16 —The Senate not in session to-day. Mr. Thornington offered a resolution that Lewis D. Campbell, of Ohio, be declared Speaker of the House. Be said his reason for offering the resolution was to contribute his mite towards an organization Ile had proposed Mr. Campbell's name be cause he hod heard him spoken of as less ob jectionable to some portions of the Douse than Mr. Banks. Mr. Galloway, though personally favorable to Mr. CaMpbell, could n9t change his position till he was assured the sentiment of the house was in Mr Campbell's favor.— Mr. Giddings said this resolution had been thrown into the House without consulting those voting for Mr. Bunks, and be whom lie would stand until he could see that a change of vote wns for the better. Mr. Mace said the fact of the Boum; being unorganized was at trilmted to the anti Nebraskaites, who have majority and can any day effect the election of a Speaker, if they choose but to surrender their personal preferences. After sonic further debate another ballot was had, resulting as follows: Banks 88; Richardson ti 3; FullerV,), Pennington 8; Scattering 5 Necpsary to a choice 98. Adjourned, Thursday, Jan. 17.- T -1n Sennte, on motion of Mr. Clayton a resolution was passed, re questing the President to communicate to the Senate all the instructions in, relation to Cen. tral American affairs not heretofore furnished. The President was also requested to furnish the adjudication of the American Commission ers at Paris, respecting the French spoliation upon American Commerce. The presiding officer was, on motion, authorized to appoint the Committee on Printing. In the House, Mr Carlisle made a speech, in which he argued that the failure to organize grows out of the disturbance of the Compromise measures, and the passage or the Kansas-Nebraska act The latter, he said, had given food to the heartless agitatii . M.' Mr. McMullen followed, defending the Democracy from the attacks of Mr. Carlisle After further debate, in which several participatid, another rote was bud for Speaker, resulting as; follems:—Banks, 04:1 Richardson, 68: 32; Pennington, 6; Scattering, 3. Mr"! Williams renewed his resolution to elect by plurality after three more trials. Lost—yeas 04, nays 106. Ad journed. Friday, Jan. 18.—The Senate is not in session to day. In the House, Mr. Mace, ad dressing himself to the statesmen, not the mere partisans of the House, offered, in a spirit of compromise, a resolution declaring Mr. Banks (Republican) Speaker; William Cullom (American) Clerk; A J. Glysbenner, Sergeant at, Arms; John M. Johnson, Postmaster, and Z. W. McKrew, Doorkeeper, the last three being the Democratic caucus nominees. The revolution was laid in the table, by a vote of to 90. Mr. Giddings advocated the adop tion of the plurality resolution, declaring that the house cannot organize on any other princi ple. Ile called on the Democrats to follow their own precedent. Mr. Cobb, of Geo.,/said the Democratic caucus in 18.19 rejecied,the plurality proposition, which was subgeqent adopted by the Whigs, nided by a few Demo crats, and in this statement he was sustained by several gentlemen. With the Republicans the issue is, Ban ks and disorglthlzation, in preference to Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, whom they could have elected the other day, if all had v0t , 41 for Mr. Thorington's : resolution.— Mr. Tappan, in reply to Mr. Cobb, said the vote on Mr, Therington's resolution was not a fair test, as 'lto Republicans had made a nomi natiolvtber than Mr Campbell, of Ohio. The vote ft iipettk o y er vest, showed that there was n t .nn anti-Nebraska majority in the Ilout4. The debate invoking the question et the responsibility of the failure to organize, was confined to the Republican and Democrats. Mr. Clingman offered a resolution, that until a Speaker shall be elected, the first busi ness each day shall be to vote twice, and no debate shall he indulged in, under any pre text, till this is done, and the House shall not order a vote a third time on the same day Pending the question on the resolution, the House adjourned. giturday, Tan. 19.—The Senate „is not in session to-day. In the House, a resolution by Mr. Clingman was adopted, prohibiting debate or personal explanation during the calling of roll, and preventing this rule and the rule limiting members to teii minute speeches from being suspended eicept by unanimous con sent. The hundred and seventeenth ballot then took place, when Banks received 04, Richardson 69, and Fuller 31 votes. A debate then arose on the plurality vote, and at its close Mr. Clingman offered a resolution that: for ono week, unless a Speaker be Sooner elected, no debate shall be in order unless by unablmous consent s This was adopted. by a majority of 45, and the House adjourned.

Tenn., while approving generally the action of Bortrii, thought that Lieut. Maury's eminent service should have exempted him from a sen tence which he considers a world of .degreda lion. Several gentlemen participated iu the 'debate, discussing the remedies for the mis takes the Navy Board may have committed.— The Senate then adjourned till Thursday. In the House, Mr. Boyce made an ineffectual motion to recind the resolution prohibiting debate for one week unless a Speaker shill sooner be elected, except by unanimous con sent.

Banks, Richardson, Fuller, and Peunioglon, by withdrawing their names, would remove the obstacles to au organization. Mr. Fuller said he wished to remove one ob ■tacle by withdrawing. Mr. Pennington re marked, that if lie stood in the way of an or g be dot - not wish to occupy that position any longer Mr. Rust then withdrew his resolution. The House adjourned.

We extract the following relating to the 'Scotch-Irish,' from an Essay on the Life of Chief Justice Gibson, by Wm. A Porter: The parents of Dlr.

Ills ances try on the side of his father originally Scotch*, and then Irish, pass generally under the name of Scotch people whose story is enti tled to an important place on the page of his tory. It was known that they were a body of men driven — fratti — their own country to the north of Ireland by the persecution of the Stewarts, there to remain for a few genera tions, and then year by year to find with us a more congenial home. Fortunately, enough remained behind to assist in relieving one of their royal oppressors of his head, and another t f his crown ; and enough were driven off to 'Conn a valuable element in American coloni zation. In Pennsylvania, these settletnents were more widely diffused than in any other portions of the Union,'and they have always constituted an important part ofittipopulation. Quiet, peer,.
