TIE MEETING OF CONGRESS.

At the appointed hour, yesterday the Senate o9
the United States formed quorum, made The
usual orders FOR The opening Of the Session, and then
adouned.
In the House OF Rerresentives, when the House
was called 10 order, although the roll not called
through, II WAS asce,tained that every member,
save one, ofthe House was present; thing with.
out example, and which il is probable will
main without parallel.
General anticipation realized in finding the
course pursued in calling the representation from
new Jersey TO be a stumbling block in the way of
the House. The Clerk declining TO call any more
than one Of the Representatives having the Govern
ors certificate of election, on the ground that the seats
of the five other members were disputed, a Debate
arose upon the matter which continued until the
approach OF night put sopto il for the day, though
II seemed TO all appearance TO be quite lar from
an end when night came as II was when it began.
1t IS source Of qualification TO be able state
that there was evidence. either in OF out Of the
House, OF any remarkable excitement on this gues
lion. There were some hundreds of strangers about
the Hall more Than the galleries found ready roam
for, but curiosity merely was evidently he motive
that brought nineteen tweniie his of them there.

ives absent from his place yesterday Mr.. Kemp
