Hho Ad3nurnrnos4 OF Congress.
Thstwo Houses Of Congress adjourned ,ine
fd'e Yesterday at noon, having been in session
from eleven o'clock the day before, and taken
recess of about one hour during that time.
The Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation bill
was near being lost, and was only saved by
the House reversing its action rejecting the
report of the joint committee on conference.
This bill, among other things, we learn, raises
the salaries of the Vice President and the heads
OF the Departments from five to eight thousand
dollars per annum; appropriates one hundred
thousand dollars towards supplying Washing
ton with better supply of water; twenty
thousand dollars for the repair of the Long
Bridge, and thirty thousand for bridge at the
Little Falls; and creates the office of Assist
ant Secretary of State, with salary of three
thousand dollars per annum.
All the general appropriation bills were
passed; and. in addition to other measures Of
Importance, the bill establishing the Terrific
rial government Of Washington.
Owing to the late hour at which the two
Houses adjourned and the confused condition
OF the business, we were unable to procure a
list OF the acts which have passed during the
session which has just closed.
