CONGRESS.

We have made no regular abstract, Of the pre-
ceedinss of Congress, this week. owing to our not
having received several papers due us. On Satur-
day, the President transmitted to the House Of Re.
personalities the ong-eIpected Report Of the Com
missioners appointed TO examine tho condition of
the New York Custom House, to discover whether
there have or have no, been frauds and other cor
rup,ions and mismansgements practiscd in the sd-
mnistrasion Of its affairs, &c. The papers are vo-
luminous and embrace period OF many years, and
said to make some startling disclosures, in
which Mr.. Van Buren's collector. and other, en-
not show to much advantage. An animated snd
interesting debate sprang up in the House upon
this matter, which was still in progress a, the last
advices from Washington.

The sixth month Of the session has already com

opiaton on the part Of some Of the members than
have before heard, that something should be done

The Senate. il 10 said, have confirmed 10 Execu-

as Naval Officer Of Baltimore. This 10 a reap

Kerr moved the Executive session. The Dplo-

missioner Of the Land Office) it is supposed ai
be acted on in day two.
Tho Postmaster General has concluded his mail
contracts for the Western and South Western sec
tons Of country. They closed on Saturday, and
upon terms much below those of former years, it is
said.
The present it is supposed. will not be very

National Jocky Club Races which will commence

days OF the session will commence just where they
should have ended, in the midst Of season so
warm and uncomfortable that any labor is twice a
