Mr. Wheeler moved that the House adjourn. Mr. Breckenridge vainly strove for the floor to express his unqualified approval of the veto. of the room, were calling on the question for the adjournment. Gentlemen standing in parts not pour them into this country for us to maintain. Mr. Davis, of Ind., moved to lay the bill on the table. No quorum voted, but subsequently appeared, and the bill was tabled—yeas 67, nays 53. Proceedings throughout the night were orderly. No insults and fights as heretofore.

The committee have also examined the claim 'of Wm.

While in Carson Valley, i that he resolved to turn his adventure from 1. one of profit to one of philanthropy, and acs, cordingly dispeased nearly all his provisions in ¢ charity, selling enough however to cover first . cost and something more.

Lyan Boyd, for the able, impartial and dignified manner in which he had discharged the duties of Speaker during the present Congress. Mr. Chandler said it had been his fortune to serve with Mr. Boyd for six successive sessions, and he bore testimony to that gentleman’s personal merits and effiaency as Speaker. Mr. Hunt, from self-respeet snd sense of public duty, would be compelled to vote against the resolution. Mr. Mallory said that Mr. Boyd may have erred, but it had been his fortune to discharge the duties of the Chair in as fair, able, and impartial manner as rarely falls to the lot of any one man. Mr. Caskecomarked that at the close of the last Congress he had vor) against thanks to Mr. Boyd, but he was now constrained to say he had changed his mind, and would cheerfully vote for the resolutions. : ; Mr. Kerr said he.

He bore testimony to his purity of motives and firmness of character. Mr. Walbridge briefly paid his voluntary tribute. The resolution was almost unanimously adopted. It was resolyed that all business in the . private calender, at the close of the sesClaims. The House concurred in the Senate’s amendment to the bill requiring prepayment of postage in all eases, and prepayment in postage stamps after next . January.

By order, WAITE, Chairman. <> . Aw Earnest Arpeat.—-It is related that lone evening when the House of Commons i . were going to adjourn, John Wilkes begged t. permission to make a speech --“for,” said . he, “I have sent a copy to the Public Advertiser, and hew ridiculous should I appear if it were published without having been delivered,” In Congress the difficulty is overcome by a "Vote that “the gentleman be allowed to print his speech,” i8. bein the passage of to0 ‘ism. . swept down by the hurricane. Mr. Breckenridge replied that he had so understood. Mr. C.—-Then why charge this bill with g introduced under a Know Nothing spirit ? Mr. Breckenridge understood that Mr. Wentworth was defeated for Congress by robaput an extinguisher on Know NothingHe would rather trust next Congtess, which, it is said, will be full of Know Nothings, rather than have this compromise the subject. The bill requires every human being coming hither to obtain a certificate or pass, and makes an odious distinction between the rich and the poor. Mr. W.—denied that this bill the House. It had been than two months printed more , and had been duly considered by the Committees on Commerce and Judiciary. It was done in accordance with a demand of the Atlantic States, which only asked that Europe keep her own worthless population at home, and sprung in . two Houses, concerning amendments were adopted. Resolutions were passed giving extra pay to sundry persons employed in and about the Capitol. Some other business was transacted, but the details are not worth telegraphing. 8:30 A. M.-—-No quorum, Another call for the House. It was suggested that the Sergeant-at-Arms be sent up to compel the attendance of members. Mr. Pratt wanted to know whether it would be in order to direct the Sergeantat-Arms to bring breakfast, and Mr. Walsh asked if whiskey punches could be introduced? [Laughter and cries of “good, good,” “ well put.” A voice-—‘‘Send a biscuit to Pratt.” Mr. Pratt—I am hungry. Many voices in suecession—“So am I.” The Sergeant-at-Arms was dispatched of members. Meanwhile the of conversational debate, all in fine humor, though half asleep. At nine o’clock the Sergcant-at-Arms reported his suecess in hunting up members. them that they had retired to refresh themselves. All further proceedings on call, disposed of. The House adopted the report of the Committee on Conference on the . Navy Appropriation bill. It makes a clean appropriation for existing Ocean mail service. Nothing is said about giving notice to the Collins’ Co., for the ter. mination of the present arrangement, leaving the Government the right to give it. The report of the Committee of Conference on Civil and Diplomatic bill was adopted. The House adopted Senate’s bill increasing the compensation of receivers and registers under the Land Graduation Act of last year. Other bilis were passed, under a suspension of the rules. During the calling of the yeas and nays the Clerk called the name of Mr. Benton. That gentleman appeared at the door of the main on i protested, with violent ella tnanipa emails de ati hada entinninasitientaibiee gesticulation, ngainst his name being called.

A conimittee was appointed to act with a similar one frem the Senate, to wait on the President and inform him that the chirty-third Gongress has closed its labors, and is ready to adjourn, if he has no further comnwnication to make. 11:30, A. M.—Mr. ‘Lane, of Oregon, said that, being about to part with gentlemen here, he could not separate without apologizing for his conduct, in the heat of the debate, some time since, towards Mr. Farly, towaeds whom he cherished the kindest feelings: ~~ Mr. Farley reciprocated the feeling expressed, and was satisfied. Mr. Jones, of Tennessce, reported that felt that the milk no one liked to speak ; at length the old lady ventured a hint, and the exclamation became general. Academy colored very deeply, but of course could not account for it, and summoned the Excuses were made by some of} , and some surprise was did not color it, but The Mistress of the girl. “Bridget,” said the lady, “what was that you obtained at the grocery ?” ‘Shure it was milk, ma’am,’ the girl replied. “Milk !’ exclaimed the lady, “why smell it,” handling her the jug at the same time. ‘It’s gin, it is, or my nose dasaves me,’ said the girl, ‘but shure it’s milk I asked for, and don’t I go there every day for the same kind of milk for you ma’m ?” It is needless to say that the indignant parents quitted the house, after a formal leave-taking, and that several young ladies were hastily summoned home. oor Tue Crepit System amonc NewspapeRS.~-The Springficld Republican expounds the law on this subject in the following terms :—‘‘Any important or yaluable information, any claborate report or article, that has cost especial Jabor or expense, we claim should be credited to the newspaper which produces it, if copied or used by others ; but for mere news items, telegraph summaries and the like, especially when re-condensed by re-writing, we neither desire credit for ourselves, nor think it necessary to give it to others.” The Republican is excellent authority in the premises, for its labors are more extensively appropriated than those of almost any other paper with which we exchange. But its rule and practice are sensible and just in themselves. It is ridiculous, says the Republican, to elongate the fact that Widow Maguire’s barn was burnt, or that neighbor Jones broke his leg, or that the village squire has killed a big calf, weighing so many hundred pounds, by adding to each that the knowledge thercof first came to the public in the col ums of the Buncomyille Gazette and Journal. Itis enough that such things be, and that they are stated in the fewest words possible, for the time of the reader and space of the printer are limited, and must be turned to the best account. “I wrote you by my last letter the Duteh . expedition had returned from Japan, after . having been promiscd the same advantages granted to the United States. The Dutch are trying to make the most . of this second-hand success. The King has decorated the commanding officer of the expedition, and the chief of the factoty of the Decenia ; and now he will send; . ty 2” . verdict of “not guilty.’ Irish criminal history furnishes x case almost identical. A man on trial for highway robery, cried oat from the dock that he was guilty; the jury, nevertheless, returned a ve-dict of “not guilty.” The astonished Judge exclaimed, “Good God! gentlemen, aid you not. hear the man himself declare that he was euilThe foreman replied: “We did, mz lord; and that was the very reason we acquitted him; for we knew he was so votorious 1 an ambassador with presents to the Emperor of Japan.” P< Tue Inox Horse.—I love to see one of these creatures, with sinews of brass } and muscles of ircn, strut forth from his. smoky stable, and, saluting the lone train of cars with a dozcn sonorous puffs, from his iron nostrils, full back gently into his harness. There he stands, champing and . foaming upon the iron track, his great heart a furnace of glowing coals, his lym-. phatic blood is boiling in his veins ‘the strength of a thousand horses is nerving his smews—he pants to be gone. He would “snake” St. Peter’s across the desert of Sahara, if he could be fairly hitched to it » but there is a little sober eyed, tobacco chewing man in the saddle, who holds him in with one finger, can take Ss liar that he never told a wore of truth in k life.” We may mention in this connection a crt: ting remark of Webster to a witness, who stated that he might have said moze in his testimony, but he thoaght he had done well in keeping it to himself. “It was of no consequence,” said the great man, “the jury ¢id not believe a word you did say.” Levinz reports a case in the King’s Beach, “wherein the jury, pot agreeing, cast iots fo: their verdict, and gave it according to los ; fe: which, upon the motion of Levinz, the verdict Was set aside, and the jury were ordered to at~ . tend next term to be fined.” . Cooke citesa case wherein the prisoner, ac cused of murder, appealed, and rested his defence on the ground that the deceased had highly provoked him by mocking him in his gait aud speech. The opinion given by the bench was, that the crime was mard:r. Tue . jury deliberated for some time, and finding the; is away his breath in a moment, should he grow restive or vicious. I am always deeply interested in this man, for, begrimmed as he may be with coal steam, I regard him as the genius of the whole maehinery, as the physical mind of! that huge steam horse.——Burritt. Aaa allie lain 2 ee Unpvovrrepiy Trve.—The Boston Bee in remarking upon the fact that the pews , diluted in oil and! should all change their verdict, [guilty.” According! . could not agree upon a verdict, came to the i following understanding: “that they should j bring in and offer their verdict not guilty, aud . if the courts disliked thereof, that ther chey and fiud him y they returned a verdict “not guilty.” The astonished court refused to reccive it, and sent them back, whereupon they rendered a verdict of “guilty.” ‘The faithlul Boswell,’ in his anecdotes of Dr. Johnson, relates that,’during Jchnson's vise . . <a ats 8 -. . it to Scotland, a person was executed to please in Rev.

At 10 minutes of 12 Mr. Orr, Speaker pro tem., moved that the House adjourn. Agreed to, amid the deepest silence. The Speaker arose, and returned thanks for the high honor conferred on him by . the complimentary resolution of last night; jand said, in conclusion—Being about to jexchange the toils and cares of official . station for the more quict and peaceful ipursuits of private life, I bear with me . the consciousness that in my official con}duct I have at least endeavored to de\serve these testimonials, in connection jwith the oft repeated expression of un{faltering confidence and esteem on the . part of my fellow-citizens at home, and ithey will forever be cherished by me as among the most gratifying recollections of my past life. In this connection it is a pleasing task to bear testimony to the ‘general courtesy and personal kindness . which has prevailed, one towards another, throughout this Hall. If, springing from the exciting nature of the debates to which we have been subjected, ebulitions lof unfriendly feeling have arisen, they have, I trust, passed away and will be re{membered no. more. Cordially sharing ithe pleasure this must afford to all, and . with feclings of unmixed personal kind. ness towards each of you, I bid you adieu. . This House stands adjourned without day. . Applause followed the delivery of the \address. Members shook hands at part‘ing, and the utmost good humor prevailed. a Bas-The Wyoming Mirror relates a good joke of an old collector, who was proverbial for his politeness as well as pertinacity. He was always in the habit of taking a delinquent debter aside when he dunnedhim. One day he . met a non-payer, upon an unfrequented road, . some half mile from any house aud probably the same distance from any human being.~ What does the old chap do but leave his bug: igy, call the othee aside, and in a fence corner politely asked him for that little balance. “His lordship lives in a large house appropriated to the purpose, about two miles from the front camp, and maintained grand style with his suit of apartments, and silver plate and service. The houses and stables for his grooms and horses, the large marques of his officers, and the guard tents pitched around with flags floats ing from them, form quite a military settlement and a gay scene.” Tue “Antstocratic Dry Rot.”—The late attacks of the press upon the aristocratic element of the British Government as the cause of the present defects in the military system is seconded by Douglass Jerrold, who calls it the “aristoeratie dry rot,”’ and says the whole fabric is a structure of a century and more of the most shameful injustice, the vilest jobbing, and the most selfish ignorance. He congratulates the country on its fall with the ministry, and says: “Henceforth, we must have generals and officers from the great mass of the people, and not from a few coteries.— Genius and wounds and service must henceforth purchase military rank, and not cash. Sears may buy promotions but not bank cheeks. And the time is fast coming— present events hurry it onward—when the people of England will no longer be the property of two or three houses—coroneted Noodles and Doodles; imbecilities that ‘came in with the Conqueror,’ and will go out with the coming of the conqucring mass—but will supply their own statesmen. Brains will rule and not baubles.” ao Tae Reiixe Passion.—A lady in a neighboring village, a few days since was badly hurt by the upsetting of a sleigh, and carried into a house near senseless, with an ugly cut on one of her pretty cheeks. No sooner had the surgeon who happened to be a bachelor, commenced his operations, than animation returned to the body, and opening her eyes, she lisped beseechingly, “Do Doctor sew it up neatly.”— Ofcourse the gallant operator ran the stitches as close as a shirt maker, working a wristhaad. {Te received me very ' ‘Here lies, in a horizontal position, that#he State Journal says a lad outside case of Thomas Hinde, clock and . at Nevada came to Sacramento watch maker, who departed this life wound in the hope of being taken in hand by Maker, cat 9. who resides a few days since ; went from here to Spa Francisco, and had conyerted into coinabout $1,000 and being thoroughly cleansed, . of gold dust.

Mr. Chandler said it had been his fortune to serve with Mr. Boyd for six successive sessions, and he bore testimony to that gentleman’s personal merits and effiaency as Speaker. Mr. Hunt, from self-respeet snd sense of public duty, would be compelled to vote against the resolution. Mr. Mallory said that Mr. Boyd may have erred, but it had been his fortune to discharge the duties of the Chair in as fair, able, and impartial manner as rarely falls to the lot of any one man.

He bore testimony to his purity of motives and firmness of character. Mr. Walbridge briefly paid his voluntary tribute. The resolution was almost unanimously adopted. It was resolyed that all business in the . private calender, at the close of the sesClaims.

Mr. Breckenridge understood that Mr. Wentworth was defeated for Congress by robaput an extinguisher on Know NothingHe would rather trust next Congtess, which, it is said, will be full of Know Nothings, rather than have this compromise the subject. The bill requires every human being coming hither to obtain a certificate or pass, and makes an odious distinction between the rich and the poor. Mr. W.—denied that this bill the House. It had been than two months printed more , and had been duly considered by the Committees on Commerce and Judiciary. It was done in accordance with a demand of the Atlantic States, which only asked that Europe keep her own worthless population at home, and sprung in . two Houses, concerning amendments were adopted. Resolutions were passed giving extra pay to sundry persons employed in and about the Capitol. Some other business was transacted, but the details are not worth telegraphing. 8:30 A. M.-—-No quorum, Another call for the House. It was suggested that the Sergeant-at-Arms be sent up to compel the attendance of members. Mr. Pratt wanted to know whether it would be in order to direct the Sergeantat-Arms to bring breakfast, and Mr. Walsh asked if whiskey punches could be introduced? [Laughter and cries of “good, good,” “ well put.” A voice-—‘‘Send a biscuit to Pratt.” Mr. Pratt—I am hungry. Many voices in suecession—“So am I.” The Sergeant-at-Arms was dispatched of members. Meanwhile the of conversational debate, all in fine humor, though half asleep. At nine o’clock the Sergcant-at-Arms reported his suecess in hunting up members. them that they had retired to refresh themselves. All further proceedings on call, disposed of. The House adopted the report of the Committee on Conference on the . Navy Appropriation bill. It makes a clean appropriation for existing Ocean mail service. Nothing is said about giving notice to the Collins’ Co., for the ter. mination of the present arrangement, leaving the Government the right to give it. The report of the Committee of Conference on Civil and Diplomatic bill was adopted. The House adopted Senate’s bill increasing the compensation of receivers and registers under the Land Graduation Act of last year. Other bilis were passed, under a suspension of the rules. During the calling of the yeas and nays the Clerk called the name of Mr. Benton. That gentleman appeared at the door of the main on i protested, with violent ella tnanipa emails de ati hada entinninasitientaibiee gesticulation, ngainst his name being called.

A conimittee was appointed to act with a similar one frem the Senate, to wait on the President and inform him that the chirty-third Gongress has closed its labors, and is ready to adjourn, if he has no further comnwnication to make. 11:30, A. M.—Mr. ‘Lane, of Oregon, said that, being about to part with gentlemen here, he could not separate without apologizing for his conduct, in the heat of the debate, some time since, towards Mr. Farly, towaeds whom he cherished the kindest feelings: ~~ Mr. Farley reciprocated the feeling expressed, and was satisfied. Mr. Jones, of Tennessce, reported that felt that the milk no one liked to speak ; at length the old lady ventured a hint, and the exclamation became general. Academy colored very deeply, but of course could not account for it, and summoned the Excuses were made by some of} , and some surprise was did not color it, but The Mistress of the girl. “Bridget,” said the lady, “what was that you obtained at the grocery ?” ‘Shure it was milk, ma’am,’ the girl replied. “Milk !’ exclaimed the lady, “why smell it,” handling her the jug at the same time. ‘It’s gin, it is, or my nose dasaves me,’ said the girl, ‘but shure it’s milk I asked for, and don’t I go there every day for the same kind of milk for you ma’m ?” It is needless to say that the indignant parents quitted the house, after a formal leave-taking, and that several young ladies were hastily summoned home. oor Tue Crepit System amonc NewspapeRS.~-The Springficld Republican expounds the law on this subject in the following terms :—‘‘Any important or yaluable information, any claborate report or article, that has cost especial Jabor or expense, we claim should be credited to the newspaper which produces it, if copied or used by others ; but for mere news items, telegraph summaries and the like, especially when re-condensed by re-writing, we neither desire credit for ourselves, nor think it necessary to give it to others.” The Republican is excellent authority in the premises, for its labors are more extensively appropriated than those of almost any other paper with which we exchange. But its rule and practice are sensible and just in themselves. It is ridiculous, says the Republican, to elongate the fact that Widow Maguire’s barn was burnt, or that neighbor Jones broke his leg, or that the village squire has killed a big calf, weighing so many hundred pounds, by adding to each that the knowledge thercof first came to the public in the col ums of the Buncomyille Gazette and Journal. Itis enough that such things be, and that they are stated in the fewest words possible, for the time of the reader and space of the printer are limited, and must be turned to the best account. “I wrote you by my last letter the Duteh . expedition had returned from Japan, after . having been promiscd the same advantages granted to the United States.

There he stands, champing and . foaming upon the iron track, his great heart a furnace of glowing coals, his lym-. phatic blood is boiling in his veins ‘the strength of a thousand horses is nerving his smews—he pants to be gone. He would “snake” St. Peter’s across the desert of Sahara, if he could be fairly hitched to it » but there is a little sober eyed, tobacco chewing man in the saddle, who holds him in with one finger, can take Ss liar that he never told a wore of truth in k life.” We may mention in this connection a crt: ting remark of Webster to a witness, who stated that he might have said moze in his testimony, but he thoaght he had done well in keeping it to himself. “It was of no consequence,” said the great man, “the jury ¢id not believe a word you did say.” Levinz reports a case in the King’s Beach, “wherein the jury, pot agreeing, cast iots fo: their verdict, and gave it according to los ; fe: which, upon the motion of Levinz, the verdict Was set aside, and the jury were ordered to at~ . tend next term to be fined.” .

At 10 minutes of 12 Mr. Orr, Speaker pro tem., moved that the House adjourn. Agreed to, amid the deepest silence.

In this connection it is a pleasing task to bear testimony to the ‘general courtesy and personal kindness . which has prevailed, one towards another, throughout this Hall. If, springing from the exciting nature of the debates to which we have been subjected, ebulitions lof unfriendly feeling have arisen, they have, I trust, passed away and will be re{membered no. more. Cordially sharing ithe pleasure this must afford to all, and . with feclings of unmixed personal kind. ness towards each of you, I bid you adieu. . This House stands adjourned without day. . Applause followed the delivery of the \address. Members shook hands at part‘ing, and the utmost good humor prevailed. a Bas-The Wyoming Mirror relates a good joke of an old collector, who was proverbial for his politeness as well as pertinacity. He was always in the habit of taking a delinquent debter aside when he dunnedhim. One day he . met a non-payer, upon an unfrequented road, . some half mile from any house aud probably the same distance from any human being.~ What does the old chap do but leave his bug: igy, call the othee aside, and in a fence corner politely asked him for that little balance. “His lordship lives in a large house appropriated to the purpose, about two miles from the front camp, and maintained grand style with his suit of apartments, and silver plate and service. The houses and stables for his grooms and horses, the large marques of his officers, and the guard tents pitched around with flags floats ing from them, form quite a military settlement and a gay scene.” Tue “Antstocratic Dry Rot.”—The late attacks of the press upon the aristocratic element of the British Government as the cause of the present defects in the military system is seconded by Douglass Jerrold, who calls it the “aristoeratie dry rot,”’ and says the whole fabric is a structure of a century and more of the most shameful injustice, the vilest jobbing, and the most selfish ignorance. He congratulates the country on its fall with the ministry, and says: “Henceforth, we must have generals and officers from the great mass of the people, and not from a few coteries.— Genius and wounds and service must henceforth purchase military rank, and not cash. Sears may buy promotions but not bank cheeks. And the time is fast coming— present events hurry it onward—when the people of England will no longer be the property of two or three houses—coroneted Noodles and Doodles; imbecilities that ‘came in with the Conqueror,’ and will go out with the coming of the conqucring mass—but will supply their own statesmen. Brains will rule and not baubles.” ao Tae Reiixe Passion.—A lady in a neighboring village, a few days since was badly hurt by the upsetting of a sleigh, and carried into a house near senseless, with an ugly cut on one of her pretty cheeks. No sooner had the surgeon who happened to be a bachelor, commenced his operations, than animation returned to the body, and opening her eyes, she lisped beseechingly, “Do Doctor sew it up neatly.”— Ofcourse the gallant operator ran the stitches as close as a shirt maker, working a wristhaad. {Te received me very ' ‘Here lies, in a horizontal position, that#he State Journal says a lad outside case of Thomas Hinde, clock and . at Nevada came to Sacramento watch maker, who departed this life wound in the hope of being taken in hand by Maker, cat 9. who resides a few days since ; went from here to Spa Francisco, and had conyerted into coinabout $1,000 and being thoroughly cleansed, . of gold dust.
