CONGRESS.

The two Houses Of Congress are getting slowly
under way. The House of Representatives has
completed its organization, but the Senate is but
halfway through the tedious operation Of appoint
ing its committees.
In both Houses bills shave been introduced pro-
viding for the admission Of Texas that in the Sc
nate was referred, and that in the House was made
the special order for Tuesday next.
Some other bills, both of public and private
nature, have been introduced. Among those brought
to notice since Tuesday are the following

Since Tuesday but little has been done in the
House of Representatives except the presentation
of petitions, very large number of which were re-
monstrances against the admission of Texas into
the Union as slave State. ALI these papers were
laid on the table, without being printed. Mr..
ADAMS endeavored on two successive days to have
these remonstrances referred to select committee,
to be composed of one member from each State
but in this majority of the House refused to sus-
tain him. He therefore remarked that he presum-
ed it was intended not to give the remonstrants a
hearing, and that the admission of Texas was to
be consummated as early as possible, without re-
gard to the wishes of those who were opposed to
that measure. He should submit to the decision,
and content himself hereafter with presenting such
as in his possession, or should be sent to him,
and leave it to the House to dispose of them in
such way as it might deem proper. To which the
SPEAKER replied that after the decision Of the
House already expressed, he should, regarded all
similar remonstrances that might be presented, d
rect the Clerk TO make the entry on the journal
that they were ordered to lie on the table, unles:
the House should otherwise order.
| Both Houses stand adjourned till Monday.
