Resolutions were called for, aud a very large number were presented ; from among which we hastily cull those that follow :— THE DEAD SEA—SEAS AT HOME. Mr. Guinness submitted a resolution, that the Com- mittee on the Judiciary be instructed to inquire whether the President of the United States has authorised the fitting out a vessel to convey officers of the United States army or navy to the Mediterranean, for the pur- pose of exploring and surveying the Dead Sea, and whether the constitution or laws of the United States give the President authority so to do; and further, whether the constitution gives to Congress the power to pars laws authorising the survey and improvement of the harbors and rivers of the United States.

POPE PIUS THE NINTH. Mr. Mexruy, of New York, offered{a joint resolution as follows; Rosolved by the House, if the Senate cou- cur, that Congress regard the enlightened policy of the Sovereign Pontiff of Rome, in extending to the people toleration of public opinion, a liberal prets, and constitu tional guarantees, eto, , as deserving its admiration, inas- much as these measures are formed upon principles cher- ished by the people of the United States, as the very bases of public Nberty, and because they are a volunta- ry and peaceful tribute of power to right, unstained by blood. Resolvyed,the Senate concurring, That in view of these interesting events in @ country to which the people of the United States are indebted not ouly for many of the arts which adorn life, but for many of the political institutions which they enjoy, it is expedient that diplomatic relations be opened with the government of the eo States ; and that Congress concurs with the President of the United States in his late message in re- lation thereto. Resolved, That the President of the United States be requested to transmit a copy of these resolutions to Pope Pius the Ninth.

He did, unquestionably exhibit the Commodore as opposed, and himeelf as fa le, between my first and second visit ; and as! before stated, furnished me with arguments to combat the Commodore’s objections.

On the door being opened— The Juoce Apvocare stated that the Court decided: ‘The question is excluded under the rule, as to the con- tradiction of witnesses by # party, on collateral matters elicited by his own cross-examiuation, and the Court further considers the inquiry immaterial and irrelevant. Lieut. Col. Fi ‘ont then read as follow: “Mr. Peesident,—Lieut. Col, Fremout is advised by his counsel respectfully to say to the Court that be wishes to have an opportunity to deliver an argument toshow the propriety and materiality of timony expected to be obtained by the answer tothe question. “ Lieut.
