 The close of the Session. n.--- Yesterday, at 10 o'clock, terminated the First Session of the We shall shortly publish complete List of the Acts which have passed during the Ses- sion. l Of the bills which passed on Saturday eve ming last, the President put his veto upon one of great importance to this District and to the upper part of the State of Maryland and the whole Western country, and in which, as n connecting link of the great National Road to the West, the whole Union was interested.
 The bill for making an additional apprO- priation for the Louisville and Portland Ca nal. and the general bill concerning Light. houses, buOys, harbors, &c. have been retain ed by the President for fuller consideration. l This course is believed to be without prece- dent. hut it is not on that ground objectionable, if legal. We have looked into the Constit1- tion. and suppose that, from it's phraseology. 1.-the President at any time hereafter. during his Presidency, sigo these bills, they will be- come laws. Such was certainly not the in. tention of the Constitution nor. we suppose. 1 is it the intention of the President to retain these bills beyond the time necessary for theiF due consideration. One of these bills is of q | sanction of all the branches of the Govern. n,ent for these many years past, and in which. in the present instance, although the aggrc- gate amount involved is not large, ttcenty ot the States of this Union, hesides the TerrtO. ries, are more or less intel estcd. a.a a3

 A novel proceeding, yesterday. is the mes sage 1.-the President, qualifying his apprriba ton ofOne of the hills which he signeds It is supposed by some. that this qualification may affect the construction of the part of the biil be erroneous, as it is palpably contrary tO the genius of the Consiitution, that the President shah make (by cOnstruing) the laws, and then execute them. The law must be judged by its terms, and not by the Presidents mental reservation in signing it.
 The weather was fine yesterday; and with in an hour after the adjournment. three- fOurths of all the members had dispersed North, East, West. and South, to their re. spective hUmes.--lmtel. ta u'.e @8
 Virgil Marcy, of Maryland. was nominated by the President of the United States, On Saturday, tv the office of Solicitor of the Treasury, which has just been created and the nomination was confirmed without OppO. sition. We congrat ulate Mir. Maxcy on his appointment, and especially that he comes to it on the ruin of no mans family by re- moval.-Ndt. Intet.
 Novelamd Successfat Speculation. We learn. from the New.York Commercial Advertiser that Miss F. Wright. on the tenth of Jan. last, chartered brig, at New. Orleans, tO take herself and thirty negroes to Hayti. Three ofthese, it is stated, were purcta ,ed by Miss Wright for the purpose Of emancipation. and the other twenty seven were prevailed upon to 90 with her with view to better their condition, though they were already free, --- For the use of the brig, Miss Wright paid $l60O; and the CaptaiN had the privilege of carrying freight, on his own account. to the amount of 600 barrels. The following stipu- lations, in reference to this freight, formed a part of the charter-party. and the said Lawrenson (the Captain) further agrees with the said Wright. to permit whatever freight he may pnS on boald the said brig. to be en- tered by the said Wright, in her name at the Custom-bouse in the said port of Port-au- Prince.
