SOUTHAMPTON, TIIVISDAY.
The Arno hes just strived here, with the I;l2;ted
States mile. She left New York on the 23rd ult.

The following i.: a summery of the proceedings
of Congress from the New York Daily Times of that
date :

Congress was eogsged yesterday almost satin•
sive:y in the consideration of the Army Bill. In the
Senate, after the bill had been received from the
Rouse of Representatives as passed on the previous
day, it was agreed that it was unnecessary to refer
the bill, as it was precisely the same as that which
had been lost on the Monday, and u the subject
was perfectly understood.
Mr. Hooter moved to strike out the proviso, which
was agreed to by 35 against 7, and the bill was
passed.
Both hones adhered to the action which they had
taken.

Mr. Bell, of Tenneme, characterised the action d
the House of Representative!, as unusual, unpsrlia-
mentary, and inexcusable, and be pronounced the
proviso nothing better than an " abatreet idea." He
ingested a committee of conference.

Mr. Hunter did not believe a committee of confer.
ence would be able to agree ; and he proposed rather
to let the Appropriation Bill fail, if it were tummy.
Mr. Cass said he reprded this as the moat solemn
crisis in the histoty of the country, and he hoped the
people would awake toe sense of the danger.
Mr. Wade argued that instead of the House of
preaentativea trying to dictate to the Senate, it was
the Senate who were trying to dictate to the House;
and he urged the propriety of the Senate receding,
so u to pass the bill.
Without com;ng to soy conclusion, the Senate
adjourned.
In the House of Representatives, the Speaker was
requested to draw his warrant for mileage allowance,
and the allowance per diem, in favour of Thomas
Child'.

A message wes received from the Senate, announc-
ing its action on the Army Bill. The House of Re-
presentatives refused to strike out the proviso by a
majority of 96 to 94, and also refused to reconsider
the bill, by the same vote.
After some skirmishing, the House of Represent&
uses voted that they would adhere to the ground
taken by them in this disagreement with the Senate;
and they again refused to reconsider the proviso.

An effort was made to introduce a resolution to
adjourn sine die, but it failed.
The House of Representatives afterwards took a
short recess, to await the further action of the Senate,
and on reassembling they immediately adjourned,
that body having come to no conclubion.
The New York money meat! had slightly im-
proved. Foreign exchange ruled heavy. Bills on
London were quoted at 1091 to 109; ; rariee
sfr.l7ic. to Mr. 16ic.
The stock-market was firm and buoyant.
Ihe cotton-market was steady, without change of
moment in prices. Prime new wheat had advanced
in price, but old continued doll; corn was firmer.
and sugars active ; freights steady.
At New Orleans cotton was unchanged, freights
dull. Sterling exchange, 92.
