S[7i|?lit lite Island of Jersey, England they hare a mode of cooking which is peculiar to those islanders whose govern, ; ing principle is to make a little go a great way. Independent of this, however, | when the process is properly conducted, i the delicious flavour and richness which is communicated to the smallest quantity and quality of the animal food employed, is a very strong recommendation for its adoption, which requires neither extra j tnmMc nor expense. The meat ro be operated upon, is first cut into steaks and fried with shred unions in butter, over a quick fire, until it is well browned and about half cooked; it is then transferred altogether into a j xtewpan, water being added to form a j -considerable quantity of gravy, when the process is completed ; and the whole is j left to simmer for the space of six or ! ' eight hours, when, the proper seasoning! being added, it is served up hot?a disii! tit' for a President!

A very small quantity of oil is ! sufficient, as it is only necessary to mois.! ten the seed thoroimlv. and allow it to I penetrate. The offensive odor of the oil j imparted to the seed, and the first leaves of the young plant are so impregnated with it that the flies will not eat them. 1 1 have frequently tried the experiment of towing a smalt quantity of seed without any preparation, and have almost invoriablv found these pihnts nearly or quite destroyed, while those from the prepared j st'ed escaped uninjured. 'To the incredulous 1 would say, the trouble is hut little, the expense nothing therefore, try the experiment. The oil does not seem in the least to injure the vitality of the seed. 1 have known it to vegetate well after soaking Un days in the oil; but I think two days is sufficient, and prefer it to a longer period.

Dr. Linn continued his speech during the morning hour on the resolution calling for the names of officers removed; after which the day was con sumed in discussing nn amendmont-offered to the bank bill to prohibit the directors or stockholders from making donations. The anrendment was finally adopted, after being so modified ns to allow the stockholders but not the directors, to make donations. Monday, July 12th. The morning hour was consumed in presenting memorials and petitions, and in remarks bv Mr. Tailmadge and others on the subject of a bankrupt law, which were suggested by memorials on that subject. The follow, ing is a part of the remarks of Mr. Tallmadgc. After presenting a memorial from citizens of Missouri in favor of a general bankrupt law, Mr. T. said he had heretofore presented numerous petitions on this subject, not only from his own S'ate hut from several other States in the Union. 1 have, said he, purposely forbore to to occupy the time of the Senate with any remarks upon them. I came here to work and not tn talk. \Vf? nil anfirin.n t*>d a workincr. not a talking session. I am prepared to * ote on all questions which will he subm it ted for our consideration. And I would now break through the rule prescribed to tnysclf but far the attempt, in a certain quarter, to make improper impressions on the public mind in relation to what I deem ?>ne of the very greatest measures of relief which can he adopted by Congress at this extra session, namely, a Gknkral Bankrupt Law. A friend has called my attention to a rescent article in the Globe on this subject. I intended to call the attention of the Senate to it at an earlier day, hut did not wish to interfere with Senators who were occupying the morning hour with another matter* The article is as follows: " Tun Bankrupt Law.?We perceive a great deal of anxiety in different parts of the Union, about the fate of the bankrupt law reported by Mr. Henderson, in (he Se^'e, and we rnn (ell them something about if. 0~^T It is not in Mr. Clay's programme, and that omission is a death warrant to it. Mr. Clnv will not let it pass now. It is pood political capital, and was supposed, at the last election, to have been worlh 800 000 votes to the Federal party. Thg bankrupt law mustthen wait the approaching Presidential canvass in order to give Mr. Clay the future benefit of it. The petitioners for the bankrupt bill may, then, go to sleep till it suits Jfr. Clay's political views to pass their hill. In the mean time, the bill ;nust either include or not include hanks and trading corporations. To include them is becoming more popular every day; and it is believed that the mass of the Democrats (perhaps all of them if the State hanks are loft out) would support a bankrupt bill which should so include (hem ; on the contrary, the party will go against a hill which dries not include these institutions. If the friends of the bill which join the Democrats and puts in the hanks the bill may he passed this sescion without the license of Mr. Clay, for a bankrupt law to include banks would immediately regulate the currency and supersede the argument for a National Bank.1' It is not my purpose to attempt a vindication of the honorable Senator from Kentucky (Mr. Clay) from the unjust as. persions contained in this article. lie needs none at my hands. What I have to say is not so much op his account, as on acconnt of the sudject to which this attack relates. I had hoped to find, at least, onp sub. ject for the legislaton of Congress, upon which the deliberative wisdom of this body could pass, without reference to the paltry considerations of party. And if there be one matter, above all others, which ought to be exempt from such a malign influence, it is thai of a Bankrupt Law. From the first introduction of this measure, at a former session, down.to.the [ resent true, its friends have fiadcavored i to divest it altogether of a party charac, tcr. I appeal to all who were present at the former discussions of this measure, i whether such has not been the course of its friends. With what painful regret, then, do we see an article, the one just read, from a paper, recognised as tlte drgan of a proud and powerful party, attempting l to bring this subjeet into the arena of par tv polilic9, and to create, whether intentional or not. the most erroneous impres* j sions in regard to one of its most devoted | friends. The honorable SeDnlor from Kentucky is represented as hostile to the passage of a bankrupt law at this session, because hp wishes to keep the question open as " political capital" till the noxt Pres. idential election. Was there ever a more unjust aspersion upon the motives and 1 character of one of the most distinguished and high-minded men which this country has ever produced ? I do not wish, nor ! intend, to indulge in harsh language on :; this occasion ; but I leave it to bo judged , ! of by honorable gentlemen of any and of ii? . rw-% I*.* * 1 all panic*, l o ee Kept as political capi! tnl till the next Presidential election ! j Why, sir, what has been the uniform i eours?; of the honorable Senator from j Kentucky on this subject, who. is not at ! | this moment in. his seat ? .He has been i ; its open, zealous, devoted advocate, when* -lever it has been, presented. If, atthcj commencement of this session, he entermined doubts whether Congress would bo : able to act upon it, with the other great measures which wore cdled for by the ! country, is it to be imputed to him 'as a | fault ! Or rather, is it to be charged upon ' him as a premeditated design to defeat ! the measure ? The gross injustice of such an imputation, or such a charge, is appnr:?cnt on its face. Other gentlemen, friends of this measure, entertained the same j doubts. I was not one of that number, i j I have urged the importance of it from the "i very first call of the extra session down : j to the present time, as a measure more ^calculated to give immediate relief to the t' country than any other. I have believed, and still believe, that it can be better acted upon at this, than at fthe regular session of Congress. And I. believe the honorable Senator from Kentucky, as woll as other gentlemen, have come to the same conclusion. It is with uafeign. ed regret, therefore, i:hat I see any attempt to impeach or distort: the motives of hon oranie gentlemen in relation to tneir ac-' tion on this great notional question ; and more especially the motives of the distinguished Senator from Kentucky, when that patriotic State, through her representees here, has so gallantly arid disinterestedly come up to the relief of the unfortunate. The Land Bill. was reported from the land committe after which The Bank Bill. was taken up and various amendments were proposed by IVfr Wright, all of which failed, some of them after considerable debate. The" most important of them was one to exclude the government from holding stock.. July 13th. Dr. Linn again furnished another dose of his speech on the resolution calling for the removal of officers, after which the bank bill was taken up. Mr. Wright moved as an amendment that if the bank should suspend specie payments, its affairs should be committed to trustees, by due legal process, and then if it should not within a specified time be j ready to resume, the trustees should proI coed to close its business. Messrs. i Wright, Buchanan and Benton ndvo! cated, and Mr. Berrien opposed the moj tion. It failed 32 to 25. i July 14*A. Dr. Linn repeated his old | doses, after which the bank bill was taken up. A motion was made reserving to Congress the power to modify or repeal the charter, but again withdrawn. Mr. Clay of Ala. moved so Ho amend tVi* Kill tliiit nfVpr Kii.sinnncinn. thi> hills nf j the bank should not be received, in pay. j raent of dues to the U.

Mr. Clay of Ala. wished then to withdraw the j amendment but could not. It was then modified by him so as to make suspension a cause of forfeiting the charier. In this form the amendment was unanimously | adopted. An amendment was adopted requiring j the Secretary of the Treasury to remove j the depositee from the bank ifn case o!f i suspension during the recess of Congress. | Various other amendments wtire offered i and rejected.

House of Representatives. July 8ih On the resolution calling upon the President to inform the House if he had sent the Attorney General, oir ; any officer of the arniv, into New York for any purpose connected with the case of McLeod, Mr. Hunt spoke till the morning hour expired, when the loan hill was taken up. Mr. Tit-kens made a speech of an hour against the hill, when in the very midst of his subject, appa| rently not half through it, he was cut 1 short by the chair. He remonstrated ! much and loudly, pronouncing the rule ! the most ahominable regulation that ever was ever invented by tyranny, and it was fill rorvo .fia/llvr nrlrrti\ni^liA/l U*? Z"1 j ins iiumuiii^iigu uy iliC V^lia II ! that he was out of order that he finally ! took his seat, giving notice that he would as soon as it should be in order, move to I amend the hill by introducing a substitute, ! giving ample means to the Treasury, but i avoiding the evils of which he complained in the bill now in consideration. Messrs. Sergeant, Rhettand Fessenden next spoke their hour, and Mr. Sattonstall commenced a speech, soon alter which j he gave wt.y for a motion to adjourr ! Mr. Sergeant's speech was mostly in rc 1 plv to remarks of sectional charactc made by Mr. Pickens, who complaine that injustice was done to the soutii h ; collecting taxes there and expending th I money mostly at the north. \ Mr. Rhett who succeeded Mr. Scrgear took occasion to make the following re marks. He believed that, next to the si cred hook of God, the Constitution of th United States was the most perfect pnpt ever seen in the universe, and he shoul consider it a? one of the heaviest calam ties, not to the people of this country n!on< hut to ail nations, should it ever go dowr Mr. R. was content with the Constiti tion. He wanted to see no inrfovatio qpon it. If Congress forbor eto trend upo doubtfnl or equivocal ground, the effect c the Constitution would be nothing bu pence and harmony, all the wild specula tions of libellous intriguing foreign! Whether uttered behind our backs or i ourpresence, would prove as false in thei result3as they were base and calumniou in the assumptions on which thev wer founded. All our difficulties?a!! thn marred our harmony or alienated our feel Lngs from each other arose from the exei ci.se of doubtful powers ; and, unless thn exercise should be refrained froin, thes alienations would increase till this might fabric of freedom, the precious labor r : our : fathers' hands, inust go down an [ tumble into ruios But Mr. R. was not on j one of those who believed that this belove i beloved Union of ours was destined to b dissolved.. The history of the past- ex hibited no instance in which a cnufedera cy of States had been dissolved. No the tendency of confederacies lay in th opposite direction. They had always be come more and more consolidated, ti some military tyrant arose and set his foe upon the neck of the whole. Mr. R? did not now fear, and neve had feared, a dissolution of this Union It was deeply founded in the affections c the People; it was consecrated by re membrances of the past, and by the mo* elevating hopes for the future : till Amer ican should forget both, they never wou! consent to break their bond of union And h? believed that the only reason wh; other nations had ever doubted the con tinuance of this Confederacy was to b found in the contentions of Representa tives on that flortr. He knew of nothing in the present state of things which brea tiled any thing like antipathy against th North ; nor was he apprehensive that th anticipations of evil in which our enemie i might indulge ever would he realized b; the legislation in that Hall. But whei strangers looked on the scrambles whirl sometimes took place in that House fo Government appropriations, and the an gry feelings which they sometimes pro duced, was it not to be expected that, i they wished our ruin, their eves woul< beam with eager hope to see it accom plishod ? Doubtless they would. Bu they were doomed to disappointment the day had not arrived that was to witnes the dissolution of the union of thest Stftes. Mr. R. had seen a very learnci pamphlet, the aim of which was to de monstrate from geographical considera tions. and the differences in climate am production, that this Union could 110 long continue. Mr R. was no believer ii this sort of geographical logic. How of ten were those whose geographical rein tion was precisely the same found at dag gers points with each other and vice versa No; his hope was in the deep sympathy which hound together the Anglo Saxoi race?In his associations of the past an< the common anticipations of the future These would hold our people firmly to gelhec, and he defied the name the malir< or the wit of man to separate then frotr each other. Notwithstanding all this however, he did believe that the Constitu tion operated unequally ; hut if it workec still more unequally; he was not going t< give it up. The Constitution was preci. ous to him in itrf permanent principles though it might be unequal in its temper ary operation. Make it hut what it wn< intended to be ; keep it above ail suspic. ion by the purity of legislative action let the Oene.al Government be what ii was intended to be, our shield against for eign nations. Do this, and union and li berty would long be preserved for our posterity. As to what had been said about rivalry between Alabama and South Carolina, Mr. R. did not believe that their interests were in the least degree antagonistic. Iiet each be content to do as well as il could, and they might long live in harmony and peace. The same was trueol the South and the North. Their interests harmoni2ed?the North furnished to the South that best of all markets in tue world?a domestic market?nor was there a man at the South who would nol infinitely prefer to wear a suit ofAmeri. can manufacture to being dependent for his clothing on any nation on earth. This was their feeling?it pervaded the whole South, but they could not give up their rights?their pride, their interest, their duty alike forbade it. Give us, said Mr. R., the Constitution ; that is all we ask; hut we cannot give up us our rights under it, and we willl not. Mr. Fessenden expressed his satisfaction at listening to the utterance of such opinion in such a quarter. His mind had been greatly relieved by it, hut he regretted to find, when the gentleman came to explain that all his attachment to the Constitution and the Union hung upon this condition, that every body else must adopt his peculiar views of the Constitution, and abstain from the exercise of every power concerning which he entertained a doubt. When closely looked at, this was but nullification in another form. However, as the time he had to speak was ?o very limited, he should not pursue that i. subject further.?He then proceeded with the discussion of the bill. sr July 9th. Mr. Hunt had ten minutes d of his hour on the McLeod case vet to y run, and availed himself of it to continue ie his speech. He was followed by Mr. Brown for 45 minutes in censure of the it course pursued by the Administration in j. this case, when he was stopped by the i- expiration of the morning hour. e The loan Bill ir was then taken up, when on motion of Mr. Fillmore it was resolved that the debate in committee of the whole on this bill shall be closed Monday at 2 o'clock. '* The house then went into committee of ^ the whole on the bill, when it was advon cn ted by Messrs. Saltonstall, Cushingand ,f Barnard, and opposed by Messrs.

It is oneoftheevidonees of the high character of his intellect that he never descends fnpn th$ dig- . nity of his stat ion, either io grave debate or under the more exciting provocation of the most wanton personal attacks. He is however fallible like all men, and in our humble opinion, he has taken the wrong side in this debate. None of the cases which he supposes, for the purpose of shewing the consequences to which the admission of the Secretary of State in the McLeod case would lead, are at all analogous to that case. They are as far from it as can be. - The abolitionists of Maine have lately held a political convention of their ewp, and by general consent nominated Jfere- . miah Curtis as their candidate forGoorer* nor of that State.
