 ae to change the hour of meeting from 10 to AEo'clock, but the attempt was vigorously Met by Mir. Clay, who invited Senators to loilow his example, rise at five, take a ride TOT two hours, come home to breakfast, and then go to work. Above all, he suggested the benefit which would arise from going to bed at ten o'clock, so that they may be in a lit condition for the routine of morning duties which he had prescribed. The Senate con- eurred with him, and would not change the hour. There was also short explanation on the subject of the return of the Brandy wine, in consequence of Mr. Mangum having made an oral report exculpatory of MT. Ste. venson and Commodore Hull.-N. Y.

 WASHINGTON, July 7.

 In Senate, memorials were presented to- day, by Mir. Wright, of citizens of Schenec- tady against National Bank, and by MT. Buchanan of citizens of Pennsylvania, for Bankrupt Law.

 The Fiscal Bank bill was then taken up, and MT. Buchanan spoke for two hours, in powerful and argumentative speech, in opposition to the bill, in toto, and in reply to the arguments of MT. Clay and the report of the committee accompanying the bill. MT. Buchanan is possessed of most commanding talent and argues in clear and almost un- answerabfe manner. It is doubtful, how ever, of his convincing the people of the United States that a National Bank is not required in the eXigcncies of the present financial crisis in the country. He conclu- ded by moving to strike out, as the location of the Bank, the District of Cofulnbia," not supplying any place, but leaving it to be filled by the Senate.

 This was supported by Messrs. Wright and Benton, and opposed by MT. Walker, tho nfh hn1ipf fhof 4hn rolo of location was changed, it would be estab- rished at New York, where it would be un- der the control of stock jobbers of this coun- try and those of England.

 Mr. Wright had no desire for the estab- 1ishment of this bleSsing in New-York; it had been proved to be to Philadelphia one of the most serious misfortunes- ! Messrs. Clay of Ala., Woodbury and Cal houn advocated the amendment, with view, if it were adopted, to insert New-Or- leans.

 The amendment was rejected, by Yeas 20, Nays %.

 .' Mir. Calhoun then moved an amendment to strike out the District of Columbia, and insert New-Orleans This was advocated by Messrs. Benton, Walker, Clay of Ala and Buchanan, and opposed by MT. Tap pan; after which it wcs rejected: Yeas 16, Nays 90

 The Senate adjourned at a quarter past four.-N. Y. Tribune

 WASHINGTON, July g.

 In the Senate, today, Mir. Linn continued his remarks during the morning hour, on the resolution relative to removals from office.

 The Fiscal Bank was then taken up, and varous amendments were offered, which gave rise 10 incidental debate. The oppo. nents of the Administration are now offering their amendments, those of the other side having been gone through, as Is understood. Mir. Walker offered an amendment requr- ing the whole affairs of the Bank to be pub lished annually, and laid before Congress.

 Mr. King proposed to the gentleman 10 modify the aaaenduent so as to require the Affairs of the Bank 10 be published weekly, every fortnight, or monthly, in daily paper where the bank was located.

 Mr. Clay of Ky, objected 10 the amend ncnt. and contcnded that a due degree of publicity was provided by the bill, that the concerns of the bank were liable to the in- yest0a:ion of the Secretary et the Treasury, of a Committee of Congress, of a Committee of Stockholders, of every director, and op- posed as unnecessary the expenses and trouble of having printed yearly the whole business affairs of the bank, which would fill twenty or more large volumes.

 Mcssrs. Benton and Walker advocated the amendment, cXpatiaing on the necessity of publicity in the Bank aff,irs. The amend ment was thcr rejected: Yeas 8; Nays 25.

 MT. Walker offered an amendment, au- thoriZing any fen stockholders to investigate thc concerns Of the Bank at any time.

 This after few remarks by Mr. Buchan- an advocating it, was adopted: Yeas 24- Nays 23

 An amendment offered by MT. Walker, md briefly discussed and amended by Mcssrs Clay of Ky, Simmons, Bayard, Der ren, and Woodbury, was adopted, providing that in every case of loan or discount granted, when one of the Directors dissent, the vote shall be tnken by Ayes and Noes, and enter- ed on the books of the Bank, open 10 nspec- lion with other records.

 An amendment of MT. Benton, providing that Government shall have free and full participation in all the transactions of the Bank, after some discussion, in which it was contondcd that it was unnecessary, the bill itself containing this provision, was adopted :: Yeas 26-Nays p.

 Several other amendments were offered, [ debated, and most of them rejected num- her of which were offered by Mr. Benton. who professcd the desire of getting along with them scvcrally as fast as possible, as he had many more to offer.

 In the House, the bill 10 extend the limits of the port of New Orleans, so as 10 include the city of Lafayette, was read third time and passed.

 The resolution of Mir. Floyd, offered some days since, calling for information relative 10 the Mcleod case, was taken up.
