 In the Senate to-day, MT. Benton, Chairman of the Committee the Judiciary, reported against increa sing at this session the salary of the United States District Judge in Louisiana.

 MT. Dixon called up the resolution to elect a Prn. ter. IL was however, at the request of Mir. Clay ot Ala. postponed till tomorrow.

 MT. Preston spoke in his usually eloquent and te- citous manner, in continuation of the debate, on the Mcleod correspondence, and in an able vindication of the Secretary Ot State.

 MT Benton followed, impeaching the ground taken in that correspondence by the Secretary. and insist irg that Mcleod should be held personally respons- ble for murder and arson.

 MT. Buchanan has the floor for tomorrow.

 In the House, MT. Wise spoke for five hours and half on the subject o Abolition and in favor of the 2ls rule of the last House-the motion being to reconsl der the vote by which, with the exception of this 2lst rule, the rules of the last House adopted. He commented at length the opinions of MT. Adams in opposition, and opposed the reception ot any Abo- litiOn petitions.

 The motion was carried by the bare majority of Yeas lO6, Nays l04; end thus the House, having been convened in Extra Session for the ransaction of important and pressing business after having spent two weeks and effected nothing but the discus sion of abolition, presents the strange anomaly of un doing what little has been accomplished, and placing themselves at this period without rules.

 resolution is now offered by MT. Raynor to adopt the rules o the last House inclusive of the 2lst) ex cludng however, action all subjects for the pre- sent session. not specially referred to in the Pres- dents Message. A dread scene of confusion and de. lay of public business may be expected, before the re.adopion of rules by the HOuss-N. Y Tribune.
