THIRTY THIRD CONGRESS.
Monday, April !.


IN the Senate, large number of me-
mdrials, reports and resolutions were
presented. Among the memorials was
one signed by N. p. TaImadge and
$4,000 citizens of the United States,
soliciting an investigation Of the theo-
ry OF spiritual manifestations, in rela-
ti0n 10 which MIR. Shields entered into
a learned aud playful disquisition. Mr..
SeWassl submitted series of resolu-
tlons.' in the shape Of inquiries tuu:h>
ing the number, weight &c. Of letters
transmitted by mail.
A bill was reportcd from the Judi
ciary cbmmittee, providing for reor,
ganization'of the judicial system of the
United States. The Senate held an
executive session, during which, it is
said, the treaty with Mexico was re-
Jected by a decisive vote. The Intel
lIgencer says that, according to rumor,
changes were made IN the pro.
visions of the treaty before the final
vote upon it, but that the reports in
relation to these changes were too vague
md unreliable to be mentioned.
