 There was an effort, after the committee rose 10 postpone tho special or'ler-which was the revenue hill-n order To give room for lhe resoluiions but the House refused, and the resolutions are now amongst the mass of papers winch cucumber the Clerks table, and ii is uncertain whether or not they are ever heard of in debate again.

 Upon motion of Mir. McClurg, the Revenue bin was postponed uotil Thursday next. for the special order of l2 of that day. This is an index to the length of the session.
