The HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES was ordered and proceeded in until a full assembled at 10 o'clock.

Mr. PLUMMER moved a reconsideration of the vote of yesterday, on the motion of Mr. BooN, for an adjournment on the 5th of July.

Mr. WICKLIFFE, moved to lay the motion for reconsideration on the table.

The yeas and nays being called for and ordered on this question, the vote was taken, ayes 74, noes 95.

So the House refused to lay the motion for reconsideration on the table.

Mr. CLAY moved the postponement of the question till Monday next.

House having been formed, it was suspended. Upon the putting of the main question, the yeas and nays were taken, and it was decided in the affirmative, ayes 132, noes 60.

The main question, which was on the passage of, the bill, was therefore ordered to be put.

Mr. BARAOUR, of Virginia, and Mr. CLAY, of Alabama, rose to ask for the yeas and nays, which were ordered and taken.

After the votes were given, but before the result was declared, Mr. BEARDSLEY asked permission to vote, but it was withheld.

The vote was, ayes 132, noes 64.
SO THE BILL WAS PASSED.

SATURDAY, JUNE 30.

Mr. WICKLIFFE moved the previous question upon the motion for postponement, as he was satisfied, from the vote upon the motion to lay on the table, that the House was anxious to arrive at a decision upon the subject. In the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, The main question, which was on the recon-after the reading of the journal, Mr. HOWARD sideration, was then ordered, and the motion said-Mr. SPEAKER: The painful duty has dewas agreed to. volved upou me of announcing to you and to Mr. JOHNSON, of Kentucky, suggested a the House, the death of GEORGE E.

Mr. CLAY moved to amend by inserting the 16th, instead of the 9th, as the day of adjourn.

in an article on which we have heretofore made some remarks, the Globe ventured to represent the bill as founded upon the principle of compromise, as offered by Mr. Hayne;" that is, upon a "gradual reduction" to a fair revenue system."

sures.

We think that great injury may result to the community from a belief in the efficacy of quarantine regulations. It has the effect of paralyzing exertions more properly directed, and induces many to neglect taking those prudent precautions to obviate the attacks of the disease, which otherwise they would take.

So far as we can learn, there is no reason to think the disease was imported, either by land or sea.

We need not say that it has created a strong sensation in the city. The more reflecting part of the people, however, regard it with a good degree of calmness. It is the intemperale and viscious, especially the vicious poor, who have most to fear from it, and it is among them that the greatest panic prevails.

We intend to remain at our posts so long as God shall be pleased to permit us, and have ta ken measures to procure the earliest and full intelligence of the progress of the disease, which These measures must be taken beforehand. we shall hasten to lay before our readers.
