GBy our Geographic dispatches, It will be per-
ceived that both houses of Congress arc prolong
ing their daily sessions. and evince an earnest
desire to post up their business before the close Of
the session.
In the United States Senate, yesterday, the re-
port of the committee appointed to NOTIFY Gen
Taylor and Mr.. Fillmore of their election, was
read ; and a resolution for the appointment of a
committee to make arrangements for the lnaugu-
ration was passed the committee consists OF
Messrs. Reverdy Johnson, Jefferson DAVIS and
John Davis. A bill regulating the payment of
pensions 10 disabled soldiers and seamen, was
passed. The appropriation bill was then taken
up, and various amendments were discussed, some
of which were adopted-among them, one appro-
priating 100000 to defray the mileage Of men,
bers of Congress. At halfpast eleven o'clock.
PM, when our despatch closed, the Senate was
still in session.
The House of Representatives were chiefly en-
gagged yesterday in the discus sion of the bills pro-
vidng governments fol the territories of California
and New Mexico, the former Of which was passed,
by vste OF yeas l26, nays 66. BY this vote 1t will
be perceived that measures have been adopted in
both houses, providing for territor al governments
IN California, and only require the signature OF the
Precedent to carry them to csnsummation. A bill
for the establishment of Branch Mint at San
Francisco, was also debated, but was informally
aid aside.
We have also dispatches from st. John, New
Brunswick, giving an account of an extensive con.
fagratien at that place. Tie late news from Europe
was received over this line of wires-the distance
being about seven hundred mlles-antlcipating the
arrival of the steamer at this port about two days
The line Is now working finely.
