16epe0S V Me 06TIkf"pt L1V.-MT. Ot1y OpiniOn.-The desperate efforts of the Re- pealers in the House of Representatives as manifested for some days past, have today been conSummated by the passage of B1H tO Repeal the Bankrupt LGao.

 As on Saturday, various points of order were raised, and appeals made from the de- cisions of the Chair, and at times much dis order prevailed. The first question before the House was on laying on the table the ap- peal taken by MT. Wise from the Speakers decision that the Repeal bill, after its first reading, laid over in the regular order of bills on tho Calender. Before this was taken, Mr. l.. Williams moved a call of the House, which failed: Yeas 99, Nays l56. The House then refused to lay the appeal on the table; Yeas lO3. Nays ll7. The appeal was sustained Yeas ll6, Nays 99-and thus it was decided by the House that they would proceed without delay to the repeal ot the Bankrupt Act; and the question being, Shall this bill be rejectcd!' ?

 MT. Granger addressed the House for about 3-4ths of an hour in an able and elO- quent manner against the repeal, denying there was any evidence that it was called for by public opinion, but alleging that the law was sustained by the people and the press, and expressing his regret that some of his political friends who had voted for the law, now turned and favored its repeal without a :rial of its operation, thus affording an unpre- cedented instance of inconsistency and fick- leness of legislation, which would blast the expectations of more than one hundred thou sand throughout the land, who had looked forward to the operations of this law for re- lease from the galling chains of bondage, which were now again to be rivetted on them, nd fhoir hOnoc of tho nPoSnnf OpnprafiOn f0r relief from legislation on this subject 10 be blasted.

 Mir. Marshall said many who had voted for the law, and now went for it's repeal, had gone on the ground that by the suspension of it's operation. it might be amended or re- pealed as popular opinion required that the repeal was now demanded by popular sen- timent as least in Kentucky and that if the repeal was to be made it should be done be. fore the law took partial effect; and as this furnished reason why the House should act on the subject immediately, he moved the previous question.

 After some points of order, and :he second ing the call for the previous question, the main question was ordered, Yeas l2l, Nays 99; and being on the rejection of the bill, was decided in the negative, Yeas 96, Nays l24.

 The question then being on the engross- ment of the bill, MT. Lewis Williams moved to recommit the bill to the Judiciary Com- mittee with instructions to report an amend ment to the Law to include Banks, and such other amendments us they might deem expe. dient, and to postpone the operation of the act to the list of March next.

 Mr. Weller having moved the previous question on the second reading, the motion ,F Mn ont rnfF ,& Nhn question having been ordered by Yeas III, Nays 89, was carried, and thus ths biA ordered sngrossed, by Yeas l24, Nays 96.

 MT. Wise moved that the bill be read third time now; Mr. Briggs moved to- morrow and Ar. Roosevelt. Wednesday, both which latter motions failed, and the former prevailed.

 The bill was then read third time, and MT. Campbell, of Tenn. noved the previous question on it's passage; which was carried, and the biA finally passed: Yeas l26, Nays 04.

 In the Senate, the Select Committee to which the Plan of Exchequer is referred is composed of Messrs. Tallmadge. Bates, Evans, Young, Preston, Walker, Merrick, White, and RiveS.

 Great numbers of petitions were presented by nineteen Senators against the repeal or postponement of the Bankrupt Act, and two or three for repeal or for amendments.

 Mir. Clay, in presenting number of pcti- tions, four of which were from New York City and two from the State. expressed his of the Bankrupt Act. denying us a charge execrable, base, and false, the report that he was the cause of the movemen, in the House, or that he had influenced the Ken lucky Representatives, in their action on the repeal ofthe law.

 MT. Walker moved 10 instruct the Judi ciary Committee to report an amendment to include corporations within the provisions of the bill, but waived the motion for the preS- ent.

 Several Executive communications were presented, among which was one from the Secretary of State, relative to the proceed ings and final decision under the convention between the United States and Texas rela- tive to the boundary fine.

 Mr. Benton's bill for the Repeal of the Bankrupt Law came up and was laid over at his suggestion 10 await the action of the House on the subject. MT. Clay's rcsolu tions of amendment to the Constitution were postponed till next Monday; and the Treas ury Note bill having been referred to the Committee on Finance; the Senate ad- journed.-N. Y. Tribune.

 WASHINGTON, Jan. IS.

 Mr. Morehead. in presenting petition against the repeal of this law, expressed his desire to support any measure which should set the captive free, but he was convinced, the people of Kentucky were adverse to the law; and considering it his duty, he should conform to their sentime dts, and vote for the repeal of the law.
