WASHINGTON, August, 0l

 Propositions for fixing day of adjournment were brought forward yesterday Tn both Houses, but not from the whg side. There is, however, much anxi- ety all sides to close this protracted session. In the Senate, Mir. Tappan moved to take up his reso- iuion for adjournment, and proposed for the majori ty to fix the day. The motion was lost by maor- tyf one But whglsenator voted for it except Mir. Barrow. Subsequently, after the revenue bill had been taken up, and debate continued for three hours amendment offered by Mir. Buchanan, Mir. Clay said if gentlemen anxious to adjourn, they must act on this bii No adjournment could take place until this bill and the bank bill were dispos d of Mir. Calhoun said, in reply, that he should of fer amendments to both these bills, and should dis them. If gentlemen the other side wished to close the session, let him give up this hill. Let them give up the bank. "Neyer," "never," :" reioined Mir. Clay "We will stay here till Christmas first" Mir. Walker remarked that it was surprising the Se- nator from Kentucky, should be so tenacious of bank bull that bad that he would not vote for il himself. Mir. Clay replied that he had not said he would not vote for it. At the same time he might have made mp his mind upon it.

 In the House, motion snspend the rules to offer resolution for adjournment the 18th proxmo, was lost-yeas 97, nays 98. Mir. Everett gave mo- tce that when the resolution was taken up he should io substitute for declaration that "Congress ought adjourn until the colectlon safe keep ing and disbursement of the revenue be provided for by law" HiRts have been thrown out that, should the bank bill fail under the veto, third measure may be tried.

 Mir. Berriea, from the Select Committee on the currency, reported the Fiscal Corporation bill with ont amendment, and gave notice that be would ask the Senator to take it up on Wednesday,. presume that the bill will then be laid aside until the bank bill is passed. 'r-

 Mir. Buchanan moved to amend the revenue bill so to impose duty of twenty per cent on rail road iron. and this was debated the whole day without be- ing disposed of. Some of the Southern States, Geor- gia Alabama, &c., have extensive rail road enterpri. to complete. and opposed to the duty on rail road iron at thus time, unjust to them. But it is contended that rich corporations and States ought pay duties iron when the poor are taxed for sugar and salt; that the Treasury needs the money and ilai the home manufacture can supply the iron cheap it be imported, and of better quality if the home market be secured for it. The duty wosld yield half million year.

 The House co leurred ill the Senate amendments fo the land bill, suspeudng the operation of the when duties are increased twenty per cent, and the bill is now finally passed, and awaits the Presidents approval.
