Petitions and memorials were presented, and
reports were made from committees.


Mr.. Fairfield, from the Committee on Ma
val Affairs, reported bill to change the du-
ties Of the heads of several bureaus of the
Navy Department, and, after a brief discus
sion, it was laid over


The order of the day-the Oregon resolu-
tons-was called up, when Mr.. Webster de-
Tended the course he took in the Ashburton
treaty, giving history OF it from its COM
mencement to its termination, and the part
previous administrations did and did not take
to bring our controversy on the subject of the
Northeastern boundary to conclusion. He
spoke from half past IL to half-past O'Clock,
and will probably conclude tomorrow.
The Senate galleries were crowded at an
early hour, but the subject matter of the speech
was rather dry to majority of the listeners
although it was well and ably delivered.
