TO On the preceding page we have given the whole of Mir. Clays speech upon the resolution introduced by him for the reduction of duties upon certain art- cies not coming in competition with the growth or manufacture of this country. It will be found repete with sound sense, and we'll worthy the careful perusal of every reader.

 Mex, week we shall probably give some extracts from the speech of MT. Hayne, of s. C. in reply to Mir. Clay. We should like to publish the whole, but us it spread oyer upwards Of eleven columns in the National Ineigencer, in small type, it is beyond the compass ot our paper without excluding every thing else If members will make such long speeches, they must not expect to have them republished in country papers. Mir. Haynes speech is able, and courteous with but little of the gasconade and menace which characterize SO many of the southern speeches.

 T Rejection of My. Van Buren.-We were highly grafed on opening the National Intelligencer of the 26th ul to learn that the preceding day the nom- nation of Martin Van Buren, Minister to England, was rejected by the Sena,e--and, believed, by the casing vote of the Vice President.

 An extract of letter from Washington, dated Jan. 26th, F. M. to the editor of the NewYork Adverti- ser, says" Forty-sx members were present. and the vote stood 3 or and 9 against the nomination. The wee IfesIucht gave So'0 |" '"C "e6""'e' A'A'' Pren,iss of Vermont was absent by sickness I is said that Mir. Bibb of Kentucky, by the consent of both parties withdrew from the Senate, in order that tho might be taken to-day, without incurring the charge of taking advantage of the casual sickness of MT. Pren,iss. This honorable to him, and ere ditabIe 10 his friends who gave their consent"
