THE CLOSE OF THE SESSION.
Immediately after the journal was read,
the old carricature from Pennsylvania, Pc
terkin, moved to suspend the rules, setting
apart this day for the. reeePtionsof resolu-
tions from the States in their order, for the
purpose Of submitting a motion to re-consi-
der the vote by which the House on Satur-
day adopted resolution to terminate the
present session on the second Monday in
in July. The House agreed to suspend the
rnles, but only with a view to defeat the
object aimed at by those who got up the pro-
position. Their purpose was TO prolong
The session until the third Monday in July
(the 24d proximo) and then stave off action
on the Sub-Treasury Bill, in the hope of
wearing out the patience ola sufficient mum
Der of its opponents to render its passage
secure. The previous question, however,
was instantly sprung on the motion 10 re-
consider; and it was rejected by large ma
iority, ayes SO, nays l45.
Thus the House has repeated its express
sion of its readiness and determination to
adjourn on the 9th proximo.
The Speaker then proceeded TO call for
resolutions. A great number were present
ed. will notice the important ones as they
auccessively come up.
THE SUB TREASURE BILL.
After the House had gone for nearly A
hours in this business of presenting resolu-
tions, calling the ayes and nays on them,
&c. Mr.. Bell rose and remarking that most
of the resolutions were entirely unimportant,
and could not be attended to with any prof.
table result at the present session, moved
that the Sub-Treasury Bill should be taken
I'd. Those who were eager to stave ofde-
cisiye action on the SUb-Treasury Bill at
tempted to put down this proposition by
clamor. But il would not do. As the hour
for taking the daily recess was near at hand
MIR. Bell modified his motion, so as TO direct
the bill to be taken up at half past three
O'Clock in the afternoon. Cambreleng see
