nations yet pending, there are treaties
or other Executive business, to be sub
mitted for consideration.

VI CObA ACSos
The first session of the thirty fifth
Congress was finally brought to close
on Monday evening last, at six o'clock,
both Houses having agreed early in the
day to extend the time from noon to the
later hour. The business Of public
character was disposed of by both Houses
In the SENATE some discussion took
place in regard to the manner in which
the House had acted on the Post Office
appropriation bill; and subsequently the
bill having been received from the House
with its disagreement to all the amend
ments, a new committee Of conference
was appointed and report was soon
thereafter agreed upon, the Senate reced-
ing from its amendments. The bill
was sent to the President of the United
States for his signature; and this, with
all the general appropriation bills and
loan bills, received his prompt approval.
Several executive sessions were held
during the day.
Ia the usual temporary absence of the
Vice President, Hon> BENJAMIN FRS
PATRICK was chosen President of the
Senate pro ten,pore.
On Mr.. SEwARD's motion vote of
thanks was accorded unanimously to
Vice President BRECKENRIDGE, for the
dignity and impartiality with which he
had presided over the body during the
session. compliment well deserved and
cordially bestowed.
A joint committee having previously
waited upon the President of the United
States and reported that the President
had no further communication to make
to the two Houses, upon the arrival Of
the hour of six o'clock the session was
closed.
The HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES being
notified that the President of the United
States had signed the several appropria-
ton bills thus far submitted to him, Mr.
j. Clancy Jones moved to take from the
table the Post Office appropriation bill
which he said had thus been disposed
Of temporarily, without any intended
discourtesy to the Senate, but simply t.
express the objection of the House to the
mode of appending subjects of genera
legislation to appropriation bills. HI
suggested that the House should insis
on its disagreement to the Senate,
amendments and ask further conference
This course was adopted; and Mr.
PHnLIPs, of Pennsylvania, soon there
after reported that the Senate had reced
ed from its amendments. The bill wa
thus passed.
Several resolutions were adopted ha
wing reference to the business of til,
next session.
At the hour of six o'clock Mr.. Speaker
OER declared the body adjourned sin,
die.
The session has been closed (says TIN
Intelligencer") several weeks Garlic
than usual, yet it must be admitted tina
large amount of business has been dis
patched, both Of public and privat'
nature, Notwithstanding the pressure o
exciting political topics which for month
absorbed the attention Of members ant
it is but just to say that the prompt dis
position Of business is in great degre,
to be attributed to the general ability o
the Speaker and to the facility and i'm
Partially with which he decided point
of order and discharged the truly ardu
GUS duties of his position.
