WAsHIsGroN.-The proceedings from Wash ineton by to-da,s mail not very important.

 On the 4th, discussion was held in the Senate on the fortl6cation bill. On the 5th, pending the prntne of a memorial with resolutions from Vir- ginia, against bank, very excited conversation occurred between Messrs. Benton and Clay of Ky Mr. Benton moved to take up the resolutions, and Mir. Clay in angry tone called him to order. An animated debate followed the point of order, whether vote to lay motion to print on the table earned with it the subject matter, in which Mr. Clay maintained the affirmative and Mir. Calhoun and King the negative of the proposition, and the Chair decid- e ts 4inst the Dictator. This scene which excited much interest," from the skill with which the discus- ;, T was manage ended in burst of general merri- -.rzt. shen NJ. Cwhbert rose, and in the ardent -.--aer i-r which he is remarkable, read Mir Clay . i-.s1ra a. tho .npropriety of the exercise of the sA.mta :: temge he had exhibited. The merriment i'creasei 10 general roar of laughter. when Mir.

 :sy, whose irritation increased by his disconl- Iture in the debate, expressed his willingness pare tempers with the Senator from Georgia.

 In the House. on the 4th resolution was adopt ed to close the discussion of the bank bill on the 6h Mir. Bou's made speech the consttutonality of the bank, which the correspondent of the Mercury characterizes as particularly silly affair.

 On the 9th the discussion was continued, Mir. Marshall of Kentucky moved to strike out tine ''com. promise" section, and substitute it by provision giving the unrestricted power of branching This it said is very likely to be carried.

 The correspondent of the Mercury says:-

 "The speeches of Messrs. Wise and Hunter were especially ablethe latter gentleman rapidly rising To an elevated rank among the statesmanof our coun try. The efforts of nearly all the whg speakers have been directed to prove the constituonality of bank. This is evidently intended for the benefit o the occupant of the White House; but Mr. Tyler has opinions on this subject, which were formed before some of his present would-be instructors saw the light. You may set it down certain as any thing can be which is the womb of fuurity that the bank bill now before Congress- if it passes that body, vii be vetoed by the President''

 The speeches of Messrs. J. e. Adams, Under wood and Marshall, of Ky. m opposition to the com promise are said to have been very able.

 It is probable (says the Charleston Courier) that the House may make amendments to the bill bad feeling m relation to it is growing up, even a. mong it's best frends-Mr. SERGEANT, &c. The, think the bill mpracticable, in it's present form, and that the stsek will not be subscribed for unless bill worthy of more public confidence can be formed.
