HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.


An effort was made to take up the calendar
Of private bills but poor claimants must wait.


The Navy appropriation bill was taken up
in committee. sff .tkN,


Mr. Brinkerhoff, in the course of his re-
marks said, If he could believe the reports, the
Oregon question was settled, on what terms
he could not distinctly say. However, we
need be under no apprehension OF collision in
that quarter /; therefore, he was in favor OF in
creasing the pay Of the regulars and volunteers,
and so soon as he could get an opportunity he
would introduce bill for that purpose.
The committee rose, and, after much confu-
sion, a resolution was adopted to terminate de-
bate at half past O'Clock.
The House again went into committee, and,
after further debate, the hour for voting on the
amendment arrived.


An amendment was agreed to-2that, after
the termination the war with Mexico, the
number Of seamen and boys in the navy shall
be reduced to 7 500.
