To day, according to previous order,
takes place the grand dcnouement Of
this i'll starred, inactive, proftless first
session of the o3th Congress. Six
months and halfhave been allowed to
fall and no great salutary measure has
been enacted. Without attempting to
enter at this time into details, it may be
said that the principal re suits are the
passage (Which is matter Of course) Of
the General Appropriation Bills By both
Houses. The House has peculiarly
and unenviably distinguished itself by
the nuYifcaiion of the law Of the prcvi-
Gus Congress requiring elections for
Representatives by single districts: and
the crowning glory of the session con-
sistsn the negatiue action Of the SEN
ate in passing their unqualified con-
demnation of the new sheme for Annex
alton of Capt. Tyler.


The House met at ten o'c lock this
morning.


On motion of Mr.. White the rules
were suspended and private bills from
the Senate were taken up, and some
twenty were passed, despite of obstinate
objections of Mr.. Burke, Mr.. Chapman,
&c.


The iointrule was suspended by both
Houses, to allow the interchange of bills
and the presenting them for signature
10 the President.


A compromise amendment, as sub
stitute for the District Bank Bill, offer
ed by Mr.. Campbell and giving the
Banks of the District power TO wind up
their affairs, vas agreed o;and the bill
was passed by both Houses.


Mr. Schenck moved, at half past clev-
en- TO 90 into Committee of the Whole on
the Union to take up the Cumberland
Road Bill: carried, Yeas lOI, Nays 67.


Mr.. Cobb Immediately moved that the
Committee rise; which was agreed to
ten minutes to twelve o'clock.


After continuation Of the great con-
fusion prevalent, at three minutes ia
twelve o'clock, Mr. Schenck moved to
suspend the rules to take up the resolu-
ton passed by the Senate to extend the
] session to ttoo O'Clock.
