The flags of both Houses are still flying, though
neither House is in Session. The House took q
recess from 3 till o'clock and the Senate have
taken recess from 4 till 6 O'Clock Both Houses
will therefore have Night Session tonight. They
can have but one more 10 morrow TIL the session

midnight tomorrow. as II may be considered the
last day of the Session, both Houses having
agreed 10 adjourn on Monday at noon 49,,
The House have the Civil and Diplomatic BIN

Sir. Cas- stated in the Senate today that the
Oregon Treoty secures the Navigation Of the Co
urnba to British subjects for ever is this taking the
British side Of the question have no doubt that
II is so; but Wing Senators were accused OF tax
ing the British side OF the question Tor stating as
palpnbe truths as this is. He moved to have the
HudsoD's Bay Companys charter printed for the use
Of the Senates This lies OYER.
The House was engaged for long time to day,
on bill reported Yesterday, establishing certain
Post Offices and Post Rontes. This bill passed by
n large majority before taking the recess 1t re
stores the ranking privilege TO Postmastcrs receiv.
ing less than one hundred dollars per annum-and
gives the power to the Postmaster General TO have
the advertising done in party presses, In place OF
giving il 10 those Of the largest circulation. Oi
course such iniquitous Legislation as this will be
stopped In the Senate.
The special Message ON Mexico has not yet been
sent 10 the House, and OF course they nave had
no Secret Session II may come this evening.
Gov. Marcys son was to-day nominated as Com
1nssary to the California Regiment. To the VIC
tors belong the spols."
But tho strangest proceeding, | have lately
heard OF is the appointment Of w. L. G. SMITH MS
Postmaster ut Buffalo, in place OF PHILIP DOR
eHEINER Mr. Dorsheimer was appointed in April
last, and got his commission from Mr. Polk, on the
strongest recommendations from his party and from
the merchants OF Buffalo He has been here two
or three times since, TO see about his confirmation
by the Senate. To-day it appears Mr.. Polk never
sent his name in, and now he finds that another Is
appointed in his place.
II is supposed that MIR. MARCY procured this dis
appointment to Mr.. DoRsHEIMER. He says he be-
lieves in rotation in Office. But he always con.
trves to rotate and keep himself in. The worst Of
il is that Mr. D. was led all the time to believe in
his nomination. Surely if the party had resolved to
turn him out they might have told him so long
since. believe they can give reasons for their
treatment of Mr.. D., unless that he is German who
worked hard with his party and among his fellow
citizens Of German nativity for Mr.. Folks election
What principles or pledges will not Mr. Polk
betray.
Tho Senate Committee are still trying to find out
how the treaty came to be published.
We have had fine shower this afternoon which
has cooled the air and made life tolerGble.
