WASHINGTON, July 10Th.
HousE Rev. Mr.. Butler, the Chap
lain Of the Senate, delivered most
solemn and appropriate prayer. The
hall of the House was filled with sad
and anxious faces. After the interval OF
five minutes, the Speaker took the chair.
A message was then received from Hon.
MILLARD FILLhoRE, President Of The
United States, and read as follows:
Feliow Citizens of the Senate,
and cf the House of representatives:
have to perform the melancholy duty
of announcing TO you that il has pleased
The Almighty God to relieve from this
life. ZACHARY TAYLOR, late President of
the United States. He died last evening
at the hour OF half-past ten, in The midst
of his family and surroundedd by affcc-
;ionate friends, calmly and in full pos
session OF all his faculties. His last
words were these, and he uttered them
with emphatic disiinciness: 81 have al
ways done my duty, am ready to die.
My only regret is for the friends leave
behind me-"
Having announced to you, fellow-citi-
zens. this most affecting bereavement,
and assuring yon :ha. il has penetrated
no heart with deeper grief than mine, it
remains for me TO say that ! propose this
day, in The hall Of The House OF Repre-.
seniaiives and in the presence of both
Houses of Congress, TO take the oath
prescribed by the Constitution, to enable
me to enter on the duties of the Office
which this event has devolycd on me.
MlLLARD FILLMORE.
Mr.. Morse, in obedience 10 the sug-
gestion contained in the melancholy an
nouncement, moved that the House take
recess ill I2 O'clock. at which time the
House would be in READINGS TO receive the
Senate and the Presidenl, who will then
take the oath of office.
Mr.. Winthrop said il seemed TO him
that, the President having expressed his
purpose TO be here at l2 clock, il would
hardly be more than respectful 10 send a
message by a committee informing him
that the House was ready 10 receive him.
Mr.. Morse accepted the modification.
Mr.. Winthrop moved the appoint
ment of committee of three 10 cooper
ale with such committee as may be APP
pointed by the Senate.
The motion was agreed to.
The Speaker appointed Messrs. Win
lhrop, Morse and - the committee.
The House then took recess till IL
o'clock.
