Pausript. he 'mate t ay. e ited a gladikto blecomiat, such as ocephied last Beturday. week-between Clay and Calhoun, with this difference, that instead of the Kentuc kian Senator, the- rate Rights-leader, had to cope' with Daniel Webster ; and 'be the judgemeat of the spectators what it may,. there cad be but one opinion upon the intle fatigable spirit,- and ingenuity, with which. Mr. Calhoun has sustained this second struggle. On the coining up of the Seind.Order, Mr. Calhoun commenced hi! reply to Web ster's arptiments on the constituttiopality of Congresi piroviding a uniform currency, previoed..answerpd at great leigth what he termed the attacks made on him,-pet tonally by Mr. Webster. This portion of Calhoun's remarks were very severe and pointed, and roused the Northern Senator to a state. of irritation which I never saw him display so openly l'efiere. He writhed about in his chair, as 'f impatient of his inability to interrupt Cal oun and repel hischarges, now and then giving vent to his feelings in sharp excla mations, a practice quite foreigu to his composed demeanor. Afterwards he pro ceeded to bring charges of inconsistency .against 114,1..Webaseron the Tariffquestion, .Proof 6 4Whigh he .quoted -lartoly. fem several of -that -Senator's speechc.s... The purely argumentative portion o his reinarks were given with his accustomcd ability and fgrce. Wbiter of roirse replied and with suchr warmth and excitement, as I thought his northern tempgrament was incapable of. As the wholp discussion was mostly upon matte.rs affecting thqm personally, and iutfact consisted in inuual attacks and de fence of each other's consistency, I refrain from dwelling upon auyof its pungent pas. sages, but there nre lone or two points, tho nature of which makes them legitimate subjects of notice; Calhoun had in the course of his.charges against Webster's consistency, intimated that he could draw a parallel between his and Mr Webster's position as to the late war, not creditable to the letter. When replying to this intimation, Webster warm ly challenged Calhoun to produce what he had to say on that head, and then proceeded to explain his views in refiereuce to the war, and how he had always been one of the most strenuous advocates of increasing the naval power of the country, be burst forth with oue of the most elegant passages to be found in his various speeehes. He allufled to the importance of oi.r na vy and then sketched in-the most vivid man ner the position of Englaud .with regard to the European continent at thin time .under the power of Hotinaparte, who being subject to the maritime superiority of England, yet like the fable giant of old, was invincible whenever he touched the earth. This great -power-England, had been made great by her navy,-,-her march was o'er the mnouu tain wave, her home was on the deep," and we. said Webster, were to attempt to wrestle with her on her own element, to intercept that march, and to pay our .re specie to her on hat home-the deep! The whole of this passrg was very tine, and finding as it did in the hear _of,-aa who heard him, that ""'eg e ve the %MI - cal indeed, every one forgeTIB169Rie moment, all party reelings in the theme which led to this magnificent episode But the best thing in the whole debate was an amusing ,extract read by Webster from a voluinMe containing the proceedings of the provincial government of East Ten nessee. ie adyisad Calhoun to take a hint from what he would read and embod~y in a substitute for his 23rd section of the bill,- for which there was a motion to strike ou. The passage read by Webster, gave forth that as specie payments were* difficult in E..Tennessee, it was ordered that hereafter their Governor should be paid 3,000, deer skins, and so on with'the other civil otlicers their pay being given in skins of raccoons, musk-rats, and minks, decreasing in nuam her and values, according~ to their rank. Thue gusto with which Webster rea(i this passage, convulsed the. wijole, atdience,:lhe administration party giving into tho~general mirth, and among them, no man laughed more heartily than Calhoun himaelf, who said he had no objection to such a payment if the skins could be* provided--to which Webster replied. " Oh I'll attend to that" This story, made the - renmainder of the deb~ate very temperate, and when the Sen ate adjourned, both of the combatants seem ed to regard such other with very pleacable looks. From lte Cdrtesponmdence of the Charleston, Mer. Wssso-rote, March-22. The Sub-Treasury Bill "is coming near to its crisis in the Senate. The vote by whikh Mr. Rives's substitute was rejected (Yeas 22, Nays 30,) shews the relative strength of the two parties to that measure. Among the thirty, are Messrs.. Buechanan, Grundy, Cuihbert and Miorris. The two ormer labor under instructions, the twvo latter under a conviction, no doubt con meier'ious, that to atdopt a specie currency ror '.. Goverprnent, woul be.a hajardous experiment for the country, though they ire clearly in favor or seperating the Gov Irnment from the Banks. So they will rote against the Bill, and, on its final pas Page, the vote will be 261 to 6, of of course. I'here is no doubt that th~e Vi'e President will decide the question in the affirmative. In the House, to-day, very little business vas dolt. A Resolution~ was adopted that he House adjourn at 4 o'clock, and attend he funeral of Overton Carr, Esq1. Door Ceeper of the House. The general A ppropriation Bill was re >norted to the House, but a further discussion nay be expected on some items, and many smedments whbich will be renewed. F'here was again quite a rush to the Senate u-dny' Mr. Webster's last speech was 'ether personal in regardto Mr. Calhoun, mad Mr. C. had announced bit determina. ion to reply to it. He did so so-day, at ireat length, and with unequalled success. le not only retorted the charge of inconsis ency, but he took up ~r. W's arg~ument, inalysed it and dissipated it into than ar. le also recapitulated his, Own argument on he ;questIon of the cnstitutional power of ongees to receive bank notes in public duet.; Ieclaredthat Mr. Webster had avoided the ucneon, and challenged him to nmet it now ir at any time.

Mr. Calhoun went fully into his own political history with that of the Massaehu setts Senator; the result of which was, bringing back to Mr. Webster's memory, some unpleasing reminiscences. ..Know thy. self, said Mr. C., is a maxim of ancient wisdom, the force of which, I never before. so fully comprehended. - The pretoensions set up by the gentleman in the lofty-piece of autobiography which he had. disgorged, -had struck him and every one with strprise...A The qualities which the Senator sad atri . bitted to himself were those in which he was notoriously deficient. Iustcad of.t6n'i [)road and comprehensive patriotism - to which he laid claim, the gentleniah wat distinguished above all his contemporaries" for a devoted attachment to the interests of the small section in which Providence hatd cast his lot. H# had been, he said, not' air inattentive observer of the Senator's cours,. and if he ever cast a vote in support. of. the rights and interests of the large section a country South of Mason's line. he, (Mj.C.j did not-remember it. A noble and gen'dps ,patriotism would, one would. think, eagerly avail itself of an opportunity to support the weak against the strong; but when the peace and the dearest rights of the South were invaded and assailed, had she miglhty arni and strong voice of the Senator ever beels raised in their drfence? * His voice wps in. deed heard but it was not.on our'side, but on the side orthe oppressor. Mr. C.took aview of the course of Mr. W. on the Coinpromise; Tarillr, and Bloody Bill, and on-the recent Abolition Resolmutions introduced by Mr. 0.;. and mentioned that when the question was about to be taken on one of tlise Resoln.' tions, which was so strong and clear that the gentleman could not vote against it, the: gentleman, as the whole Senate saw, rose and retired. How could the Senator, after this, claim to be a friend of the whole Union, and to act as if the eyes of the framersorf the Constitution were upon. him?. z Mr. C. al luded also to Mr. W's. course on the Tariff, the speech also to show thmat in 1816, he was a hard money, loco-foco, and did not believe a word of his present doctrine that the Gov ernment had a right to receive Batik pape-r and regulate Bank paper. Mr. Webster was replying at length when this letter was closed. WASrIroroN, March 23.

And can that Senator, knowving wthat hie knmws, and wvhas.I know, dliberately nmake isuch an assertion here? I hatd heard similar boast, before, but did not regard. them' until I saw them coupled in this letter with the imuputations of' a purpose ons the part of mny friends to disregard the comnpromsise, andI revive the high Tariff'.

The danger from. nuilification itself excited no more appre hension than would be felt by seeinsg a re-, gisment of a thiousanid hoys, of five or six years of age, decorated in brilliant uini f'orA - with their gaudy plumes anid tiny musgeta, marching up to assault a corp's of 60,000 grenudiers six feet high. At .the coinmrencemnent of the Session of 1832, she Senator from South Carolisnia wans is any condition other than that of dictating terms. Those of us wvho were then here must recollect well his haggard lookis asnd his ainxious andh depressed countenance. A highly estimable friend of mine, Mr. A M Clayton. of Delaware. alluding to the pes-. sibilisy of a rtupture with South Carolina, and declarations of Gen. Jackson wvith re spect to certain individuals whom he imd denounced and proscribed, said to me/on more than one occasiotn, referring to the Senator from South Carosina and some of his colleagues, "They are clever fellows, and it will never do to let old Jackson hang them.'! Sir, this dischosurp is extorted f'rom me by the Senator. When Mr. Clay resumed his seat, Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Preston boths rose. The. Chair gave thea foor to Mr. Presion, wvho said that nothing could be more utnexpected or painful to him than the necesssty under which he found hims self of interrupting for a moment the dis cussion between. the Senator freon Ken tucky, and his colleague. He well knew that mt the general ex peetations of the Public and by she acqusiesence of the Senate, the day and the occasion were appropriated to and set apart for those gentlemeti, and ha had taken lis seat, not doubting that ho should listen in silence, to wvhich his health. as well as the, proprieties of the occasion seemed jo consign him. But, said (Mr. P.) no condlitioun of my health, no dread of vio lating an expected ordler of' proceeding, no rule or ceremonious observance, can coin. pel me to silenee tinder these remarks of the Benator from Kentucky in regard to my'1 State. If they had been personal -to 'my eolf. I might submit in. silence, or Postpone mjesy for ai more 8i occasison, wiiho < hreaking 'an upon the unity of the present ceneO but ,the honiorable'Senator has tho't proper to indulge a course of remarks up on certain recent and conspicuous acts, of pty State, pressed, as it seems to me, un necessarily into this discussion, which I will at once resent and repel. And, besides ,here is, in my present relation to my State, peculiar obligatiods of duty, affection, and gratitude, which makes her defence more my business and my pleasure than at any former time, I is generally known that it is m'y misfortune to differ with her Legisla ture in regard to important questions con nected with ibefinances of this Government and that it has expressed that difference in 'formal resolutions. It is not so generally known that, with'a'n elevation and gener iosity characteristic of the State, it at the Same moment soothed the paiin which tnis difference of opinion could not but create, by an express exclusion of.all censure upon her public functionaries who entertained different views. Already bound to South Carblina by qvery obligation of duty and af fection which can hind a citizen and a ser vant, these obligations are enhanced and strengthened by this noble and touching act .f- kindness and generosity, which makes it my privilege. on this occasion, to supersede ;my colleague in the defence of our State, & to take io.my own hands the willing task. aT1 have-remained silent when vulgar wit lings havQ sought to amuse themselves or others by a poor jest on nullification; and I have heard, wishut 'emotion, the efforts of underling politicians, who, ever and anon, supply d vacuity of sense by a puny and in noceut tirade against S. Carolina. Such things are to be expected from such qjuar ters, and may he well submitted to in silence and indill'erence; but when these poor top ics are rescued from contetpt im the onily way by which this can be effected, hv that 'adventitious consequence derivcd from the dignity and position of him who used them, they become worthy of uniinadversion, not on their own account, but on account of the pat ty resorting to them. In the contest which South Carolina wag ed with this Government, whether she wts right or wrong. io mans of right mind, who knows the circumastances, will perceive iat tcr for jest. or ridicule Her course is now history. She acted in patriotism and hon or. 11er principles were opetily asserted, her purposes boldly avowed; wrong or right, she fearlessly assumed her ground, calmly arrayed herself against the whole power of this Government,sternly retorted fhe frowns of a tyrant, armed as he was by the eager haste of a servile Legislature, with all the power*of the country, in or out of the Con stitution; ani when the personal passions of the Chief Magistrate, ministered to and inflamed by the ready zeal of the most thoroughly devoted party which thi, coun try ever saw, were joined and sustained by the greediness of thet tmanufseturinig inter est in mensures of military violence, were there any symptoms of irresolution, of giv ing back amongst us? Did the honorable Senlator see any sign of fear at home, or Lesitancy amon-st thore who so well and so nobly represented us here? Did we not hurl back the proclamation in the teeth of those who issued it? Did we not upon this floor answer argument by argument and [erpa- h acorn. fbilAatinytnt Rbl any one wh hLdd .upons the scene in tris Stnate, and our actors in it; did any omt who looked to us at home, even from this listance, see any where the hearinig of men, whose names could be mentioned, except in th1e vulgar violence of pampered power, ins any courexion with an igiominious death, or whose conduct and destiny could is any event he associatr d but with honor and re spiect?

March 0. FmaR !-On Mdnday evening last, about II o'clock, a fire brotte oat in tI e upper part of our city. in a kitchen attached to tihe store of Mr. Buford, on Broad Street, near ly opposite the Plauter's Hotel. It soon communicated to the store, and tihe build ings in the vicility being of wood, in the course of an hour they were all in flames. The fire was not got under until about half past one o'clock; when it was arrested, onl the east, by the fire proof store of Messrs. May and Burnet, and on the vest, by the store of Messrs. G. R Jesup & Co., also fire proof. All the buildings on Broad St., between these two points. were totally de stroyed, as were also the out buildings and back stores leading through to Ellis street. The two story wooden building on Ellis street, in a line with the hotse oe-uupied by Mr. Jesup, was saved after much exertion on the part of a few or our citizens, among whom was distinguished our intrepid fel low citizen, J. H. Spelman, through whose exertions this building was saved,-had it taken fire, several other back stores and out buildings would have been destroyed. and the fire would have extended up Ellis street, to the rear of P. Stovall's brick buil ding.. The los by this fire will not exceed thirty thousand dollars. as all the buildings destroyed were old wooden hotses, scarcely worth repairing. The principal loss is on the goods in the different stores, mnost of which vere saved in am damaged condition, and we understand are under insurance, so that the loss will fall on insurance officers, vio are able to bear it. Our enginrte companies used every exer tion to suppress the flames, but they were badly supported by our citizens, about nine out of every ten of' whon would have done more service had they remained at homie.

Is it to be supposed, that our energetic young men, and mechanics, will long use their exertions at fires in saving the property of others, when they see such an exmmple set by the very men who should be foremost? A fire is no place for idlers and lookers on, and we advise all such hereafter to remain at home, for their presence as of no good and tends to dishearten those who, with feelings of humanity, show every disposition to as sist their fellow main in distress.-Consti tutionalist.

His motion was fbr an address to the Queen, praying her to take immediate steps lor negociating with the governments of Spain, and Por tugal, and obtaining the concurrence of France and the United States in such no gociations, with a view to declare the trade In slaves piracy; and included two:sets of resolutions, the first against the payment of head money to the persons engaged in suppressing the slave trade, and providing for the employment of steam vessels. an the issue of letters of marque to private in dividoals against slave ships; the second re lating to the apprenticeship system in the West Indies.

The Duke of Wellington supported Lord Gleneig, and the substitute was carried, unanimously. Lord Brougham's resolmtion was theni negatived, 31 to 7, and the others without a division.
