Reviving a little and recovering consciousness, Mr.Adams inquired for his wife.

She was present, but in extreme illness, and suffering the most poignant sorrow.
After a few moments' interval he relapsed again into unconsciousness.

A correspondent of the New York Express describes as follows the progress of these melancholy events:-- "Half past one o'clock .-- Mr.Benton communicated to the Senate the notice of the sudden illness of Mr.Adams, and moved an adjournment of that body.
"Quarter to two .-- Mr.Adams has several physicians with him, but exhibits no signs of returning consciousness.

The report is that he is sinking.
"Two o'clock .-- Mr.Giddings informs me that he shows signs of life.

He has just now attempted to speak, but cannot articulate a word.
