Mr. Cookerly became quite excited in noticing this matter. Mr. beerest said, that he could not sit calmly by and aee an honorable officer of the Senate assailed. The gentlemen shou'd have statt d the whole facts of the case. In copying the bill the counties of Adams and Wells were omitted. They were in the original bill and it was only a clerical error that had been corrected. He referred to a decision of the Supreme Court, first published in to-day's Journal, which went much farther to sustain the correction of clerical errors. Mr. Oborn of Laporte complained of the majority on the floor for voting agiinst printing the bill ander consideration. He bad not bad time to examine it. He understood this bill made better nrovismn tor his coumy than the bill of the House. He contended ' that the Secretary of the Senate bad no power to correct i a bill, af er it came to Una House. .i;r.

Mr. M'Donsld said, it was the duty of the Secretary of the Senat to report to this Hou.-e bills in the precise words in which tbey passed the Senate.

eentleman from Crawford. i .Mc. Ha I of Gibson remarked, that he was the member of the committee of the House, from the 4th Circuit. Upon consultation with the members from that Circuit a plan was agreed upon, which left a surplus of 1125, in that Circuit, over the ratio adopted, which they chose to give to Crawford. Crawford had for several years had a member and it was thought right that a member should be , . t ? . . ,, , continued. In givitg ner a member, in the bill of the r .. . i r .u . e n House, nothing was taken from the countr of Orange. Mr. Stapp, contended, that the bill was sufficiently adantageous to the Democrats, even if Crawford has a n.ember. He hoped that this bill would not be passed under the operation of the previous question. Uentlemen wished to offer amendments, and bare them placed upon the Journals.

The House again proceeded to the consideration of the bill of the Senate making an appoitionuient for the next five years. Mr. I.ogan moved to reconsider the vote taken on yesterday, on the amendment taking a float from Muhle and Lagrange and giving it to Elkhart. Mr. Julian moved to recommit with instructions to report the bill back to-morrow at two o'clock, reducing the number of Senators to 35 and Representative to 70. .Mr. Secrest would warn gentlemen, that unless this bill should pass, there would bo no apportionment bill, passed at the present session. Thine had been tending this way, for the last two weeks. Both the House and the Senate had decided, not to uiuke a reduction, during the present session. Mr. Julian thought a full expression had not been given; the expression made was without much investigation. Mr. Lowe said, that he had beard a number of Whig gentlemen express themselves in favor of this bill, aa being one that they could Support. Mr. Wilson cf Marion had supported a reduction throughout the whole session, as bis votes would show, but believing the motion now mado to retard the progress of the bill, without the hope of effecting any thing, he would now gu against recommitting the bill. Mr. Ford was one of the whig gentlemen mentioned by the gentleman from Monroe. He had made expression, iii which he h;id given a preference to the bill of the Senate, over the bill of the House, notwithstanding he bad belonged to lbe House committee, as the best bill of the two, but he considered himself instructed to vote for a reduction of members, and should now vote for recommitting. It was better to do good late than never. The motion to recommit with instructions, was decided in the negative, nyes 37, noes ,r5. The rjneslion then recurred on reconsidering the vote giving Llkhart a float, to be taken from Kobl and Lagrange. Air. Dowling asked the gentleman from Elkhart, whether he agreed to the arrangement. If be did, be was willing. Mr. Clymcr said, that be had proposed the amendment not from any party or individual consideration. He offered the amendment, because he believed, that it was just. He had been promised, that it the amendment were adopted, Senators would concur in the amendment. But he had since been informed, that there were those, who would gladly defeat any apportionment at the present session. He was willing rather than no apportionment bill should pass, to make w hat he considered a sacrifice. One of the greatest questions of the session was vet to come before the Legislature growing out of the iniamous internal improvement system of '3G; both houses had azreed to adjourn on the KUh, and rather than have no bill passed, he would yield to the wishes of the House. He, however, would vote against a reconsideration. He made theso remarks, to put both Whigs and Democrats on their guard. Tho vote to reconider prevailed, ayes 59, noes 35. The question recurring on the adoption of the amendment, Mr. Vandevecr moved the previou question; which being seconded, was put, to wit: Slmll the main question be now put ? and decided in the affirmative, ayes 50, noes 45. The main question to wit: Shall the bill be lead a third time on lo-moirow ? It was decided in the at'irraative, ayes 47, noes 41. Un motion of Mr. Osborn of L , the bill to extend the writ of garnishee was taken from the table and amended. Mr. Osborn addressed the H iuse at length in support of tho provisions of the bill, which he contended secured II the debtor could ask, and at the same time, gave the creditor bis just and equitable rights, and proper remedy, against the property of the dishonest debtor. It secured to the poor debtor the same exemptions as are provided by existing laws; and contained nothing of which an honest man could complain. Mr. Clvmer opposed the bill, as worse Inn the "Blue Laws of Connecticut." lis provisions were calculated to harass and oppresn the poor, and would give rise to lilig-ition, and a system of wringing and screwing, productive of nothing but evil to the unfortunate debtor. The people were satisfied with existing laws, and are constantly complaining of the interminable changes which are made in lhe laws a flee ting the rights of property. Air. M'Donald would not support the bill, unless it was amended, 89 he had proposed, so as to exempt a certain amount of the poor nian'a property from the provisions of the law. He hd no sympathy with the rich rascal, and was willing to aee laws enacted to make hi in disgorge and pay his just debts. Tho great difficulty is to so frame a law of this nature as not to injure others more lhan those its provisions are intended to reach. Air. Vandcveer was opposed to all such laws, and he was familiar with the.m, having seen their introduction before in the Halls of Legislation It would be prolific of a rich harvest of law-suits, and that is all the good that could be expected to accrue from the passage of the bill. Il remioded him of the laws of the Jews for the pound of flesh, and of lhe Patricians of old, who could sell their debtor into bondage. Mr. V. then moved to indefinitely postpone the bill and amendments. Mr. M'Donald had moved to exempt $300 worth of property from tha operations of the bill; and Mr. Osborn to amend Ihe amendment, by striking out $300 and in serting$l50. Mr. Osborn, of L. explained. The question was taken, on an indefinite postponement, and decided in the affirmative, ayes G'J, noes 32. Mr. Mickle offered a resolution, granting the use of the Hall to the Democratic Convention on the 8lh and the Whig Convention on the 9th of January ; which was adopted. On motion, the House adjourned. SENATE. WtiisiSDiT, Jan. 7, IS1G. The Senate assembled. Petitions were presented by Messrs.

CI I AS, W. CADV Agent. Miittml l,ife Insurance. The lieht cf jeience in m dem times has led to no discoverv which nn.mUe more unalloted r.ind. and substantial . LU upon the puiely mutual pnnciple, which fives to the insured the whole of the proüt, is advantageous to all classes of society ; to the man of limitfd means, and lo the wealihy. A well-conducted institution upon this piinciple, gives to the party insured immense profits, in addition lo the sum insured bv the police. Surh has been the experience in Great Britain, and no doubt will be so in this country. It iffers a safe investment for money, giving greater leturns than mot pursuits. But the most decidedly wise and piudent application of the system is to that laie portion cfthe community in all professions and pursuits, who have families or fiicnds dependent upon their personal exeitinns and earnings for subsistence. To thee claes its utility is so evident that it is no matter of suiprise that tbe practice of it has been so general. The subject has attracted our attention by observing a stitement of " The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New Yoik," which will be found in another column. This statement exhU'its the affairs cf thi3 Company to be in a very piosperou condition. This institution was the first in this country oreanized opon the purely mutual system, and its unexampled success has fully established the soundnes of the principles upon which it is based. The business cf tbe Company is exclusively consigned to that of Life Insurance. The patties injured paiticipate io Ihe whole of the profits, having no stock capital to absorb a poition therof. Its premiums are all paid in cash, and invested (as the charter prescribes) in stocks of this State and city, and in bonds and mortgages on real estate in this city and Brooklyn, worth double the amount loaned thereon. It commerced operations the 1st of February, 1S43, without capital, dependirg solely on the acctoing premiums to meet losses and exrenses. It I has now been in operation two years and ten months, duiir.g ' which time it has accumulated a rasn capiiai oi dciiij 190,000, after paying all looses and expenses which amount is invested in the secumies above mentioned, rrogressing in the same ratio, its cash capital on the 1st of February, IS4S, (the time of making its first division of profits.) will be over G03,000, and the dividend then to be carried to the credit of each existing policy will be 70 per cent, on the amount of piemitims paid, that is, a party having made five annual ayments of $.100 each, will have to bis credit $300 in addition to Ihe sum insuied, payable at death. These aie results growing cut cf the ta-h system of payments, adopted by this company. The advantage of such a system Is obvious, as it strengthens ai.d gives stability to the institution, and enhances tha benefits to the survivors of tbe assured. The disadvantage of an opposite prac'ice is equally obvious. Loaning the funds of Ihe company on the promissory notes of individuals, or giving credit on the premiums, impairs the security, materially reduces tbe accumulation lo the parlies insured, and necessarily diminishes the advantages sought to be secured by Ihe insurance, i e. the protection of surviving families from want and its attendant evils. The moral tendencies of the cash system should not be lost sight of, as the saving of the requisite sum to meet the annual payments will natuially induce an exemplary economy in families. There are two prominent objects which can be effected by means of Life Insurance. The first in impoitance and of the highest consideration is, that husbands and fathers can secure a comfortable provision, in the event of their death, to their widows and children. The second is, that all persons having a pecuniary inteiest in the existence of a life, can secure that interest, recent transactions of the Mutual Life Insurance Compaoy of New Yotk, will serve to illustrate the subject. A gentleman residing in the State nf Indiana, on the 19th of August last took cut a palicy with this Company on his life for $3,000 but one payment was made of $102. He died on the 19th of September, and hi widow received from the office the sum insured, $3,000. She was so forcibly impressed with the advantages ul Life Insurance, being a recipient of its benefits, that she immediately effected an insurance iu the sum of $5,000 on her own life with this cfUce, for the protection cf her family of yenng childicn. A merchant in one of the Southern States, bad a debt due him of $5,6C0, knowing that its ultimate payment depended on the continuance of the life of his debtor, be look oat a oIicy on it with this office for that sum; one year's premium had been paid cf $161,S4, soon aftet he was attacked with a severe illness which terminated his life in September 'st The company, on presentation of the requisite proofs of his death, paid the sum insured, and by this precautionaty measure he unexpectedly and suddenly realized a doubtful claim. A gentleman of New York becomes security for his fiiend in the sum of $3,000 by endorsement on his paper. He had the prudence to effect insurance on his life at this office for that amount only; one payment ($36) was made, this was done on the 3d of July la-t, and be died the ISth of September. The ct tnpany paid bim tbe $3,000, which he applied to the payment of his endorsement, thus by this insuiai ce he was released from bis liability, which otherwise might have put him ta serious inconvenience. , The Mutual f-ife Insurance Company of Ach York, No. 56 Wall Stufs-t.
