FROM WASHINGTON.
In the Senate yesterday the bill relative 10 the
accommodations for the federal courts was further
amended and returned TO the House. The Senate
refused 10 concur in the House amendment TO the
bill. authorizing the Washington and Alexandra
Railroad Company to extend their road, which al
lows the Baltimore land Ohio road certain privi-
kges. The bin refunding to Colonel Fremont
Sls3 C00 with ten per cent interest from 1850 for
beef furnished 10 California Indians, was passed.
A number OF private bills were passed. The con-
sideralion of the River and Harbor bill was feslm
I'd the point under discussion be ing the amendment
TO the provision authorizing the Secretary to sus
pend appropriations in certain cases. We have
heretofore alluded TO this matter, and il is, there
Sore, unnecessary to refer more fully toitnow. The
amendment was rejected by very decisive vote
fourteen to thirty-fye. Various amendments were
proposed and voted down, and the Senate adjourned
There seems to be but little hope Of the bill rcceiv
! ing the sanction Of the Executive.
In the House several members stated that had
they been present on Friday they should have voted
In the negative on the motion TO suspend the rules
20 allow the introduction Of bill to repeal the Fr-
gitive Slave law. A mistake occurred in our report
Of this matter in yesterdays paper. The motion
was stated 10 have been made by Mr.. Elliott, "
Kentucky-it was brought forward BY Mr. Eliot. OF
Massachusetts. In committee the bill making ap-
preparations for transporting the mails by ocean
cleaners otherwise, for the year ending June SO
1855, was taken mp. The section appropriaing
ss5S.000 for the transportation OF the mails from
New York TO Liverpool having been read, m mi.
mated debate arose on the merits OF the Collins
steamers. An amendment, fixing the 3lst Of De
cember next as the time for the secretary Of the
Navy TO give notice of the termination OF the ar
xingement for the additional allowance TO the Col.
Tins line, was adopted by vote OF cighty-two TO
dxty one. Subsequently the amendment was con-
CURED in, and the bill passed
