--An hour was spent on the subject of correcting the journal of the Senate so as to show that the Senators from Mississippi, Alabama and Florida had withdrawn from the Senate. The motion to do so was laid on the table.

The Crittenden resolutions were debated.

Mr. Powell, of Kentucky, advocated their adoption.

Mr. Wade, of Ohio followed, opposing any compromise.

House.--The Crittenden resolution memorials from Delaware and Maryland were presented.

Mr. Colfax's bill to suspend the mail service in the seceding States, was postponed until Thursday week.

The majority report of the Committee of Thirty — Three was then taken up.

Among others who spoke was Sherrard Clemens, of Virginia, who opened with great bitterness on the Secessionists, and at the expiration of his hour wished to continue, but Mr. Martin, of Virginia, objected to the gentleman's continuing his ‘"traitorous remarks."’

Mr. Washburne of Wis. followed, and at the close of his speech--

The House adjourned.
