through defeat and success until he retired from Office,

Some days since Mr.. Norvell introduced a
Resolution requesting the President to release
VIM. Lyon McKensie from imprisonment.
The resolution however was not acted on at
the time. This morning Mr.. Norvell moved
to lay il on the table, on the ground that the
President having pardoned McKensie, all
further action on the resolution would be I'M
necessary, and the resolution was laid on the
table.
The Bill granting the right of way through
lhe Public Lands, to States and incorporated
Companies engaged in the construction of
Roads aud Canals, and the. Bill providing
equitable commissions for Attorneys and
Agents of persons in whose favor awards
have been made under our different Treaties
with foreign powers, were ordered to be en-
crossed.
Several private bills were acted on, one of
which for theErelief of Hannah Laighion, a
widow ofthe Revolution, occasioned a debate
Of some interest, her husband being the very
first that had fallen in that ever glorious
struggle-and she more than "a years of age.
The Ayes and Noes were demanded, but the
debate had not closed when this was sent.

TATIVES.
A Resolution was adopted this morning to
meet hereafter at ii o'clock, A. NJ. instead
Of 2, as heretofore.
The Bill TO prevent frauds IN the Revenue

several members. The Bill will probably
pass.
