Several candidates were put in nomina- ion, but as yet no one has been elected to fill that office. We suppose another effort will be made to-day, and we hope successfully; for the same body had so much difficulty in electing a Speaker, that the nation at large are desirous that it should enter upon the business of real importance which awaits its action. It might be supposed that when the important office of Speaker was filled, there would be no difficulty in electing a Clerk. Bat it appears that such is not the case. ‘The Senate was engaged, it would appear, in- directly with the great question of the day—that of slavery. The ball has been opened by Colonel Benton, who delivered a long speech, in which he deprecated the South Carolinian principle of resist- ance. This 1s the commencement of this great discussion, and we hope that similar sentiments will be propounded by the other able men of that body, as well as by the Ilouse, if the latter body should succeed in electing their officers. The late hour at which Colonel Benton’s speech | Was received, prevents us trom commenting upon tat any length to-day. The Winter Politics of Lurope. A voluminous file of European jouraals, brough; by the last steamer, lies upon our table. Although no astounding events had occurred, up to the de- parture of the last steamer from Liverpool, yet, to the observant eye, many elements can be discover- ed at work, in the old world, which will be likely to bring about important crises soon after the frost subsides. The political world seems to fashion itself in some degree after the physical. History has given us very few records of winter revolutions. During that inclement season, men cloister themselves up arouad their firesides, and dedicate themselves to the t interests of social life ; but whea the ice begins to melt, and the streams to flow, and the verdure of spring oace mere covers the face of the earth with beauty, men go forth from their firesides, and begin to act | in the great world. This 1s no less true of the peacant than of the prince. Besides, winter isa penod of festivity and holiday enjoyment. It is somewhat doubttul, even if Congress had elected a Speaker on the first day ef its session, and the great political questions which will agitate its doings during the next few months had been fairly brovght a the docket, whether our gay and pleasure loving city, or the country gene rally, would have condescended to sac annual routine of pleasure and amusement, to contemplate events which, a few days afterwards, might fill the public mind with geaeral iaterest or apprehension. One thing 18 observable in all the files of our European exchanges. There seems to be a con- sciousness, on the part of the two great straggling parties of Europe—namely, the monarchists and liberalists—that the conflict has scarcely yet begua. Superficial readers have supposed that, beeause the petty states of Italy have been agitated by res | ns, and all Ger- h suddenly went volutions and counter revoluti many kindled into a flame, w out, and France proclaimed a republic without ful- filing the business of its mission, and Eagland {nghtened out of ter propriety by the march of Liberal principles, and all this apparently extin- guished, that, therefore, no deep seated aad long irritating causes have begun to act, and that the usual! calm is restored to the body politic of This, however, 18 but a very superficial vi w of | m1 ve enture | ry continental affairs.

Benton, to-day, on the Mis- souri resolution, was j udicious and adroit. expected that he would attack Mr. Calhoun, who had prepared himself to repel it. The speech at- tracted the profound attention of the Senate and the crowded galleries ; but, being confined to a defence of the Union, against the doctrine of re- sistance, it went off without excitement. The position of Col. Benton demanded an ex- planation on these resolutions, and some expected a scene, but his change of tactics has postponed the re-opening of hostihties between him and Mr. We understand, this evening, that Gen. Cass intends, to-morrow, to deliver his views in favor of suspending diplomatic relations with Austria, and we doubt not he will speak the sentiments of the people. A report was expected to-day on the Wetmore case, but, as the accounting officers have cut dowa the defwlcation so rapidly, the report, when made out, will doubtless exhibit @ further reduction. ‘The democrats are sanguine of the election of Forney, to-morrow, as Clerk of the House; theonly hope of the whigs is a reinforcement from ab- Corporation shall be Is of departments, and fiicers as shall be from time to Jemmon Coun= cept that the Board of Aldermen ma nh Neh spprove or eject the nominations taado to them, ax THITY-FIRST CONGRESS. , x. xaron, Jan. 8, 1850.

He waseur- pened that gentlemen on the other side of the cham- T were so startled at this effort to curtail the expenses ofsbrench of the public service. Why would they not try the p ition, and prove whether or no the reduction could be made without detriment to the pub- le service ? Mr. Dickinson 7 thought the time fixed for the consideration of subject too short, and ssid he had consented in committee to its bei Senate, not with a view to such sudden action, but that it might be before the Senate, for its examiaation. Mr. a alae the motion to adjourn over to Monday. TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENTS, ETC. Mr. Foore notified the Senate that he would, on Mantegs call up bir resolution. providing that it is the duty of Congress, at this session, to provide territorial governments for ret, California and New Mexico. Mr. Siwarp moved that Mr. Cacs’s resolution, rela- tive to suspending diplomatic intercourse with Aus. tris, and Mr, Foote’s resolution, just referred, be print- ed. Agreed to.
