CONGRESSIONAL.
Thirty fifth ConsreSa-Eirst Seasion

In THE SENATE, yesterday, during the morn
ing hour, Mr.. Bayard, from the Committee
on the Judiciary, reported a resolution providing
for the taking Of testimony in the cases Of the
contested election Of Hons. J. ID. Bright and G
N. Fitch, as Senators from Indiana.
After our report closed Mr.. Doolittle continu-
ed his remarks on the joint resolution for pre-
senting to Commodore PauIding gold medal.
He was followed by Mr.. Brown, who moved TO
amend the resolution by inserting in lieu thereof
as follows:
"That Congress has heard with surprise Of the
arrest Of William Walker and about $50 other
persons at Punta Arenas, in Nicaragua, by Hiram
Paulding, commanding the United States naval
squadron, on the 9Th day Of December, 1857, and
seeing that said act i'm violation of the terri
toria sovereignty of friendly Power, and not
sanctioned by any existing law, Congress disa-
vows 1T; and being officially notified that said
Pdulding acted without instructions from the
President or the Secretary Of the Navy, Congress
expresses its condemnation of his conduct in this
regard
Mr.. B. commended that Com. Paulding deserved
the censnre expressed in the amendment. He
compared his act with that Of Com. Porter, in
the matter Of the latter's proceeding against the
pirates in the West Indies, during the admins
tration Of Mr.. Monroe, and for which he was
tired and punished for violating the sovereignty
Mr.. Pugh followed contending that the neu-
trality laws did not authorize or excuse the act
OF Com. Pauldng.
After the cons liberation of Executive business
tie Senate adjourned until Mondey.
In THE HOUSE, number of private bills, reso-
lutiOns, &c, were introduced and reported
In the course Of these proceedings the Senate's

with amendment. This authorizes the naval
courts to complete the investigation of such cases

Bocock explained the necessity of the measure.

When public expectation 10 80 much ex-
cited, it is natural to conclude that the
American rhetorician will throw himself
for the occasion"
Business is, just now, between wind and
water, waiting for the advent Of the Spring
trade, a. the Fall trade has taken itself of
10 the very last remnant. All kinds Of dry
goods, in all kinds Of new fashions. are being
landed, waiting for buyers from the far
South and West, who will come on about
the FIRST Of January, to make purchasers for
Spring and Summer use.
Broadway is brilliant to-day, for it 10 the
first really pleasant weather We have had for
. long time, and the ladies are all abroad, in
full promenade dress, making purchases for
Christmas gifts, or selecting glorious are

ties which do usually abound at about that
period Of the year. A bright, dry day, on
Broadway, in 1.-The height Of the season, is
the very perfection Of days; for life, brillian'
cy and exciting pleasure. Even the old
stager who has walked or ridden up and
down twice day for forty years, cannot al
together restrain certain enthusiasm on
such days Is this. They are, however,
somewhat trying to the patience Of retailers
clerks, who found out long ago that ladies
like to walk on Broadway on pleasant days,
and like to have an excuse for walking. So
that their calls are much more frequent than
their purchases. On wet and gloomy days,
they are almost certain to sell to customer
who once enters the door, for the customers
Of such days are generally in earnest.

formances, dinners, suppers, dancing ad

up our city programme for the approaching
carnival, the high day Of" ID bagatele."
