Mr. Pearce submitted an important resolution calh."% for the action of the government in regulating woights and measure. The Finance Committee reported to-day the Post office Appropriation bill as it came from the House, without a single amendment. A resolution was submitted calling for the printing of five thousand copies of the commercial statistics and ao- cuments, for circulation, These statistics are exceedingly valuable, The House bill for the extension of Adams’ patent was passed by the Senate to day, thus recognizing the prin siple of petent extension’ by Congress. Senator Harlan’s contested election was called up to day, and referred to the Judiciary Committee. The ques tion involved is, whetber the Legislature, when in joint session, could adjourn over from the day fixed by law for the election of Senator, It will be decidgd affle- matively. The civil appropriation billa are now running the gauntlet between the two houses. The Senate has made sundry amendments to the one providing for public im- provements. The House determined to discontinue military superintendents over public works. The Senate dissents by a large majority. In the discussion on this point Senators Seward, Hunter, Case and Houston paid deserved compliments to the gentlemen in charge of the Capitol ex- tension, the latter gentleman contending for the princi- ple of civil superintendents, but proposing to make Capt. Meigs and others exceptions to the rule. The two houses differ widely on this point, and it will prove a trouble- some one to settle bet» en them. * Another amendmeut was an appropriation of nine thousand five hundred dollars for the purchase of sixty copies of Audubon’s ‘Birds of America,’ to be preseuted to such foreign governments as have presented valuable boogs to ours. One hundred thousand dollars was added. for the purchase of three stores atthe Atlantic wharf, in New York. These stores are now leased; the amount,to be paid for the unexpired lease is two hundred and ten thou- sand dollars. The fe@ can be purchased for one hundred thousand, 4 The naval appropriation bill was submitted to a Com- mittee of Couference, arrapged and passed, and now ovly awaits the signature of the President to become a law. The bill provides for publishing the charts of the La Platte and Behring’s Straits expeditions, and appro- pPlates upwards of eleven millions of dollars for the naval service. The President to-day asked for an appropriation of eeven hundred and fifty thousand dollars for the Capitol extension until the 4th of March next. The Postmaster Gcueral reports that the strictest in- quiry bas been set on loot to ascertain, if possible, who are guilty of purloining books and public documents from the mails, and that the severest punishment will be snficted. The civil appropriation bill, with a second edition of black riders, was sent to the Senate to-day, and by that body referred to the Financg Committee, This is the im. portant appropriation bill, and over it will be the great vontest, Tbe new post route bill was reported in the House by Mr. Mace, and passed, providing for one thousand new routes.

Those who remained true to the coun- try would never desert their principles, He alluded to the time when he and others bad cut loose at Syra- curse from those who, after receiving honors from the party, and winning its confidence, bad intrigued to betray and destroy it. This mecting, aud the positon of those against whose treasonable conduct they had then rise, were sufficient justification now of their action at thattime, He concluded by proaing Sd ia the pre ek crisis to emulate the noble example of Clay and Web- ster.

The demolition of the barricade at the gate of the Quarantine Hospital, at Staten Island, on Wednesday night, it was expected would produce somo little stir among the Castleton rillagers yesterday morning, Oa the contrary, everything passed oif quiet and orderly, A look ofsurprise was manifest on the countenances of a few passing the gate in the morning, ou thelr way tothe ferry, at the sight of the removal of the barricade that had for so many successive days stood so proudly and triumpbantly erect. To these the story of tho violent breaking Gown of the barrier was quickly told, when, witb a smile, as if not dissatisfied with tho result, they burried on. It seems so with the villagers gene- rally. A few spoke disyaragiugly of the resistance t the Castietou Board of Health, snd suggested that they were not pleased with a victory thus easily achieved over themselves. No one ventured to assert that from any daxger to the bealth of the residents outaide the Quaran- tine walls there necessity for a re-ereption of the barricade. Th 1m from fear of yellow fever seems, in fact, ali blown over, £0 that a revival of the barricade will probably not be attempted. Should awy eitort be made to this end, it will be done from other reasons than any general apprehension of danger of yellow fever. The only hostile movement made to the teariag down of the barricade was the issue by Justice Fream of warrants of arrest of several of the parties engaged in the work of demolition, None of these parties, as far ag we could learn, had been arrested up to last evening. There was a rumor wroved that a meot ing of the Castleton Board of Health had been called for last evening, when measures would be adopted to re piace the barricade. 1 was not generally credited, how- ever, that such a thing would be ventured on. Mean time, during the Say parties P d in the utmost freedom io and from the Hospital enclosure The butcher who bad been quarantined, and escaped, mace his approach with his customary appliaucea of trafic, and waa allowed to poss where he pleased unobstructed.

Dr. Taowrrox, the Health Omicer, replied that no other eafer jocation thap the one in question could be obtained.
