Mr Gregory eat J, he had confidence in the Treasurer of State to believe, that if sufficient good funds came into the treasury, he would not make a loan. lie wished to prepare the treasury for all contingencies.

" ' EVEVIXG SESSION. Mr. Claypool, from the committee of free conference, to which was referred the disagreement of the two Houses, on the amendment of the House to the bill of the Senate, to continue to the Bank the privilege of issu ing small bills, reported, that the committee cannot agree; whereupon, the House continued to insist, and Messrs. Tinder and Bell were appointed a second committee of free conference. This last committee reported that they also could not agree, so the bill consequently was lost between the two Houses. " ' - In relation to a compromise or arrangement with our bondholders the Senate agreed with the committee of ways and means of the House, and re-instated the ''State Agent' BS the proper person to make such airangement or compromise.' On this amendment being reported to the House, Mr. speaker Stevenson, in a speech of some length, made an attack on the Agent, in reference to the amonnt naid lor lawver fees. YC.

Mr Wilson of Harrison rejoined, and although be attempted to speak of the Governor in a tone of sarcasm, remarked, that all who were acquainted with James Whitco'jib knew full well that a more competent individual for the discharge of so important a duty was not to be found in the State of Indiana, or one that was leas liable' to be over-reached, in so important and delicate a trust The House then refused to concur in the amendment of the Senate. 'The Senate subsequently refused to recede from their amendment, and thus, through the obstinacy of the House, was this important measure, so well calculated to place our public debt in a proper altitude, at the next session, defeated. It was well remarked by Mr Simonaon, that there waa neither reason nor argument in throwing this duty npon the Executive, and he believed the amendment was made to defeat the objects of the measure. At about ten o'clock Mr Stapp offered a resolution, providing that the time for an adjournment of the two Houses, should be prolonged until to-morrow (the 14th iost) . x , Mr Blakemore supported the resolution, as also Mr Bell, on the ground that the business could not be finished. . Mr Palmer was . willing to prolong the session, if no new business should be introduced. Mr Bell aaid, there was no fetr of business being introduced, as by calling the ayea and noes a quorum might be broken.

From the Globe. Reception of the Xevs of Mr. President folk's Election in England.

Thv crief of the icries in England at the defeat of Sir. Clay, is as jreat as in the kindred party in this country. The London Times is known, all the world over, aa the chiiaof the tory press in Jutland. It has lonrr since c.tristened the cause of the LuTopean oligarchy which it supports, by the very name which federalism itself assumed for a time to hallow the crusade which it has erer waged against the democracy of this continent. . The legitimacy of Europe hail the London Times as the great organ of the conservative principle on which they rest their rotten thrones, and the corrupt abuses .which render the masses a prey to the kites that fill the upper regions of society on the old continent This oracle of the tories of England and their conservative allies everywhere, is filled from day to day with angry and sarcastic articles about the choice of President made by the people. It will be seen that this journal knows well through ... .. .... . . . - . wnat. "medium" trie conservative power tn tne States " expresses itself. It opens its news thus : -" Dy the intelligence from America, which appears in another part of our impression of this morning, we are favored with the account put forth by the coaserrafrre party tit Ike Slates (if we can venture to apply the term at all in American politics) of the success ol their oppo nent, Air. 1 oik. The mtdmm chosen for its expression has been a speech of Mr. Daniel Webster at Boston ; and we may add, that the version itself presents no very material emendation upon that given by the opposite and successful party. at a a i a .. iur. Yveosier aoes not go prominently into tne matters at issue tn the contest for the presidential chair ; but there can be little doubt, as he himself conlessea, of the great importance of more than one of the questions involved in it. The 'annexation of Texas' 'and the perpetuatien ofslavery, to mention no more, are of themselves questions nf that interest nnd importance which would alone render the defeat now sustained by the anti-democratic party in the Statea a matter of the greatest concern to every friend of civilization and humanity on either side of the Atlantic." The Times here quotes Mr. Webster's Satanic speech, made at Faneuil Hall, in which he ascribed the success of the democracy to the naturalized voters, and denounced the law admitting aliens to Citizenship, as pregnant with the ruin orthe country. " Now his account may satisfy Air. Webster, (says the Times.) bat to us we Conlen that it ia insufficient. The Firesent law of naturalization is surely itself a fundamental aw or republican America. I'lie facility of acquiring her citizenship is, of itself, a part, and ah essential part, of her democracy. Take it away, and you introduce something like an element of exclusiveness. We conceive that the election of Mr. Polk is only a fair and legitimate fruit tf me system wriicn nas produced it, and la among the many similar events by which that system must forever be tested and judged, ami with which it must always be inseparably associated." The London Times then utters its own discontent at the result ; but in the conclusion of its first article comforts itself thus : " Government by responsible ministers is a very great blessing ; but its blessings, perhaps, are never so highly Valued as when they come into marked coli t rast with a system of government Where nobody is responsible at all. Good full-blown 14 locofocoism," as Brother Jonathan calls it, in active operation, is the most capital cf all scare crows to frighten your theoretical republican It next quotC3 Louis Fhilippe's official organ, say inj that with the Faris journals " the election of the President of the United States teas the vrincipal sub' ject of discussion." The gorerhmcnt Ofgln of France chimes in with that of England. . . The Journal des Debats observes that : " If the last accounts from the United States are eon firmed, the election of Mr. l'olk is secured; and in that case We shall see the direction of public affairs, at a period when it requires the most consummate experience, escape from tne most capable hands to fall into those ot a cand date chosen without reflection, of whom the best can be said is. that he is of more than ordinary mediocrity. The result of this election will be to give the ascendancy to the radical party that is to say, to give it to a party whose very essence renders it unbt for the re-establlsbinent of order, and the consolidation oi a society shaken to its very foundation. We must deplore this Conclusion not only on account of the confederacy ot North America, but like wise for the rake of universal civilization which is inter ested in the direction taken by a nation so highly placed' On a subsequent day, the Times takes in hand its i is . . . . vi vi a -. v lory cudgel lor tue united states, ana aeais its mows upon the country and its institutions, as well as the democracy, under feelings of exasperated disappoint ment: . " The truth is, (says this instrument of European task masters,) the federal union has Deen tried, ana luuna want ing. Iloise-deahng is the last trial or a gentleman ; obedi ence, of an angel ; and indebtedness, of a state. By the in fallible test of the stock exchange, the Ameiican joint-stock empire is found to be a fiaud j for by it a man can borrow money without being accountable for it. He can be sol vet t as a citizen of the Union and a privale man, but remain, at the same time, the member of a bankrupt State. M At present, theie seems no help for it viz i for what is past ; Jor we suppose the past will be a sufficient warning against a recurience of the fraud. ISkitheb Ma.

This shows what promises had been made by American whiggcry to the English tory gentry, whose poli tics are in their purses, lhey were assumption and distribution. We never doubted," from the moment Mr. Webster, on his return from London, made his first movement for assumption, and Mr. Clay renewed his scheme for distribution with such Vehemence, that this double policy was adopted in connection with the rrreat moneyed monopolists of London. The Times now looks back upon the hopes so fondly indulged, depending for realization on the superhuman influence of our two rjreat political jujrjrlers. In a vein almost as poetical as Othello's, when deploring his " occopa tion gone," it laments over the stock-jobber's money lost: " Capital and Interest (exclaims the Times) have now departed forever. The letired tradesman, the residentiary canon, the orphan, and the widow, who have been lured into lending tbeir little all to the land of promise, will never see its like again. That beautiful investment has sunk below the western horizon, and will never rise again. Like a meteor, it shot across the sky, refulgent with a tail of indefi nite per Centage but quick as it came, all is returned to darkness, and scarce even tne smoKe or tne smeu remains. It exists only in the imagination, as something for the orator to declaim upon, the politician to juggle with, and the bond holder to mouin with fruitless wo." But the distress of the Times always finds some compensation in gratifying the acrimony of its feehngs in sarcasms, no matter at whose expense. In tnerul lowinjr passage, while it takes comfort from the fact that Mr. Polk has " mercifully extinguished " the last jujnrle of Messrs. Clay aud Webster, it laurrhs in bit terness at the attempt of the foxes who sought to make a ladder of Brother Jonathan's great goat the Un ion. - - The pleasant Times ridicules the defeated strata gem very happily : , - The last juggle is that which the return of Mr. Polk has mercifully extinguished. It was called a pi an or a principle of" assumptive distribution i" which of cuuise means about as much as the term, if such ever there was, of u distr ibul its assumption, as much, in fact, as any other possible combination of contraiieties. The idea was, that, while the delinquent States were still to bear all the responsibility, the rest were to share the burden. The fox was to get out of the well by bis good-natured friend the g"at getting into it, and lending his long horns for a ladder. But bow the goat was then to extricate himself fiom the exactly similar predicament was a subsequent and minor consideration. Brother Jonathan, however, has either shorter horns or a longer beard than his European relative, and declines to take the responsibility. 'It is no obligation of Ameiican citizenshipit is not written in the constitution." M But that which is obsolete in practice survives in poetry. Mr. Webster has the gift of being able to harangue en any theme, and he has therefore made a speech at Philadelphia on Pennsylvania bonds. It was addressed to " fifteen bundled beautiful women, and twentr-five thousand brave men and eothusustic boys," and was itself sufficiently beautiful, brave and eiithusiaMic. He enlarged on tne natural resources oi the State. This was safe, and a capital, method of getling up the steam. He dwelt on the extent, the soil, the climate, the livers, the harbors, the position, "everything almost that is attractive to iodustrious aod civilized man j" and last of all. as if conscious of the moral bathos which awaited the termination of his period, he descended to the Black Iodies of Pennsylvania, its inexhaustible beds of coaL" , Yet, notwithstanding the organ of tory legitimacy thus dicources in a vein of irony over the catastrophe of its friends and their schemes, it seems to be sorry enough, and sympathizes deeply, when it speaks its mind seriously. The loss of assumption and distribution -the disappointment at failing to leap into a speculation of a hundred millions of dollars from the goat's horns, is nothing to tho loss of the two great British statesmen in the late democratic melee. What, therefore, (says the Bsitish organ.) we chiefly deplore on the present occasion is, the defeat of those men who

were most able and most willing to have labored to restore the financial an 1 political credit of their cwuntry who, if they were uoable to shake off the cane of slavery, would at least have stilven to prevent the eooseqoeoces of slavery

Oay and Webster are still entitled to that name t but tbe time is past wnea they could ruide the destinies ef their country, r 3, by casting them off in tbe hoar of trial, the people of the Üoited States have only rendered the vices of their fresco t condition more conspicoocs; and prepared tbe way for the" krtieastng evils andexeesses of their futuie career.

England iris de such strides iff her conquests) over us ia the state of tbirgs brought about immediately after the triumph of Harrison, and under the administration of Webster as Secretary of State, and Clay as leader of the Congre; of 1840, that we are not surprised at the disappointment of grasping a new dominion urwkT tbe auspices of federalism installed by a new election. - Old Time. . bt ceeacc Ltirnxut basks, es4 There's a mighty old spirit abioad ia the air; And his loot steps aie visible every where.
