Nothing OF Importance done.
TUESDAY, March "a.
SENATE.-Mr. Preston presented me-
mortal from Richard X. CALL the late Gov
ernor of Florida, who was removed by the
authority OF the President and the Secretary
of War. The memorial is a severe review
of the present head of the war depart
ment and other functonaries. Mr.. P.
thought it was due to the high source from
which the memorial emanated, that it
should be presented and referred. 1t was
a long memorial, and Mr.. P. said he there
fore should not ask for the reading. He
wished, however, that it might be printed.
Mr.. Clay of Ala. objected to the printing
and the petition, therefore, without read
ing, was sent to the committee on military
affairs.
HoUsE.-The resolution directing the
printing of the Journals of the New Jer-
sey election committee was again debated.
The Treasury note bill was taken up
and debated in committee until o'clock on
Wednesday morning, when the committee
rose and reported there was no quorum.
WEDNESDAY, March 25.
SENATE.-The proceedings in open ses-
sion were of no public interest, the only
matters worth noting being the presenta-
ton of Joint resolutions from the Legisla-
ture of Michigan, in favor Of general
bankrupt law, and the introduction of a
bill by Mr.. Norvell, appointing the time
of the next meeting of Congress, namely,
the Cd Tuesday of November.
The proceedings of the House will be
found detailed in the following from the
National Intelligencer:
Our readers will find, in the preceding
columns, some account of the most extra.
ordinary sitting that ever took place in the
House Of Representatives, or perhaps Of
any other Legislative body since the Gre
alton. 1t began at the regular hour Of
meeting at II o'clock on Tuesday, and
continued without intermission all that day
and through the night following, up to
O'Clock last evening, comprising the space
Of twenty-nine hours. -
The subject was bill for the issue o
Treasury notes, and the struggle appears
to have been between the Wings, who de
sired to be heard upon it, and the friends
of the Administration, who desired to force
the bill out of the committee Of the whole
so as to bring it within the control of thu
previous question, by which the debat
might be stopped, and the bill put on it
passage.
All parties were probably thoroughly
weared of the contest before it ended, bn
the Wings appeared to have got the bes
of it, for the House at last adjourned, at
Ter so long a contest, without taking tn
bill out of the committee of the whole
with the understanding, however, on "a
hands 1--WE hear) that the bill is to be final
" acted upon to-day.
