The First Day of Consr.ss-No Speaker.

BY our telegraphic dispatches, received at 10
o'clock last night, via Baltimore, thence to Phiia-
delphla, r,a Harrisburg, thence to New York, we
have report of the opening OF both houses OF Con-
gress The Senate having quorum present, or
aanized sent word to the House to that effect, and
adjourned.
In the House, the Clerk called the roll, and 22l
members answered TO their names Subsequent
~, 229 voted in the four trials for Speaker. Mr..
Winthrop stood firm at SO. Mr.. Cobb, democratic
neminee, 203 first vote, and 202 the other three.
We suppose the votes were taken ripa roce, as
usual though our brief dispatches do not indicate
1t, nor afford any clue TO the scattering votes. Mr.
Cobb has the advantage of the start but the ba-
lance Of power produces sometimes the most unex-
peoed results. There was doubtless busy time
of electoneering and log rolling last night, at
Washington. What the effect will be, we shall
probably learn to-day or tonight; for though il is
highly probable the fight upon the Speaker will be
protracted one, it is believed that the regulars on
both sides, will persevere in electng Speaker be-
tore they adjourn In that event, the message viii
be read TO both houses tomorrow.
