TIE CLOSE OF THE SESSION.

Yesterday was the last day upon which,
according to the Rules, any bill could pass
either House Of Congress, the two Houses
meeting to-day only for the purpose of
winding up the Session.
Our reports Of proceedings bring up the
doinss Of both Houses 10 the hour Of re-
cess. OF all that was done in the after
noon and night Session, il is impossible to
inform our readers in,elligibly this morn
ing. They shall have it all IN our next.
We are enabled TO state, however, that the
General Appropriation Laws all passed.
except the Fertilization Bill, which was
under discussion In the House at IL
O'Clock when this paper was put to press.
Previous to taking up the Fertilization
Bill, MIR. VIM. Cost Johnson moved a sus-
pension Of the 10Th JOINT rule to allow Of
the reception Of the Joint resolution passed
BY the Senate 70 continue the charters Of
the District Banks on condition Of their
rcsumng specie payments but, II requlr-
ing vote Of two.thirds to sustain the mo-
ton, it iailcd--aycs %, noes 53-the
members eyincing a disposition to give
precedence, in the order Of business, to the
Fertilization Bill.
The bill providing for the support of
West Point Military Academy was passed
by the House and sent to the Senate for
concurrcnce--a substitute offered as an
amendment by Mr.. {. II. Williams pro.
posing a different arrangement for the mil
ltary instruction of officers and cadets hay
ing been first rejected.
The amendment Of the Senate to the
Navy Appropriation Bill, appropriatng
the sum Of $50, 900 for the survey Of the
Southern Coast from Appalachicoia to the
mouth Of the Mississippi river, having
been disscuted from BY the House, it be-
came the subject OF conference through
committees on the part u the two Houses
and resulted II reduction OF the appropri
alton to the sum Of $4,000, to be cXpcn-
ded under the direction Of the Navy Com
inissoners.
The amendments Of the Senate appro.
priatlng SO 600 for outfit to the Minister
resident at Constantinople, and ST., 200
for the purchase of an island AT the con.
huence of the St. Peters and Mississippi
rivers, were also disagreed to by the
House, and the Senate rcceded from its
said amendmcnts.-A Nat. Intel. 2lSt inst
Whether the two Houses Of Congress
will or will not transact any Legislative
business to-day, il is impossible to say. 1t
is in their power to Do SO, without prolong-
Ing the Session, by saspcndlng for that
purpose the JOINT Rules of Proceedings Of
the two Houses. II was a melancholy
sight, last evening, TO see the poor pension
and other claimants, for whose relief bills
had already passed one House, and some
of them had at several Sessions before
passed one or the other House, and failed
for want Of time, hanging round the doors
Of the Legislative Halls, sick to the heart
from hope deferred. Two hours would be
enough to relieve hundred such, about
hose cases there is no sort of doubt.-i6.

Tuesday next, our readers viii recol-

on 5y both Houses Of Congress for the ter
minatIon Of the present session. We do
moi see, looking at the present state of the
business before Congress, how il is posi-
bic that that determination can be adhered
to; though, to say tic truth, il the SEES
sion were to be prolonged until the consti-
tutional day for opening the second session
Of this Congress, Isl December next we
doubt whether the two Houses would be
much better prepared to adjourn than they
are the present moment.
Among the business Indispensable TO Be
done before the adjournment, an appiica-
non from the Treasury, for additional
WAYS and Mean, 10 the amount Of four
OF FIVE millions Of dollars mot much more
than hulf the necessary amount, BY the
vayJ in. boon before the financial COM
mtttces Of both Houses, in some form or
other, for some days, If not weeks, and vet
nothing Is proposed. The Indian and 9TH
cr appropriation bills are still in Commit
tee Of the Whole ~ the House of Repre-
sent4tiyes. The money bill to enable the
Treasury To meet these appropris ions has
not been brought mp at all, How Gun
