The House of Representatives were in session on SATURDAY from 7 o'clock in the evening to one o'clock the next morning. They were principally occupied in considering the bill for the repeal of the duties on salt, and for the continuance of the Mediterranean fund. The bill finally passed the House by a large majority, and discontinues the duty of eight cents on salt after the 30th of June, and the duty of twelve cents after the 30th of September; and continues the Mediterranean fund until the 31st day of December.

On MONDAY the House sat from 10 A. M. to half past 4 P. M. and from half past 6 to 10 in the evening.

On TUESDAY the House sat from 10 A. M. to half past 5 o'clock, when they adjourned to half after 6 o'clock, from which time they continued in session until 11 o'clock, when the two Houses adjourned sine die.

Our readers will see, in the following list, the acts which have passed.

The Salt Bill has passed, as it passed the House of Representatives, with an amendment, taking off the duty of 12 cents after the 31st of December, instead of the 30th of September.

The House postponed indefinitely the bill from the Senate, for an increase of the military peace establishment.

We shall give a detail of the proceedings in our next.
