ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 29, 1846.
At the meeting of the House, the Hon. John P. Kennedy was unanimously elected Speaker, and being conducted to the chair, delivered a most practical and eloquent address. Geo. G. Brewer, was re-elected chief clerk, and Eli Duvall, reading clerk. Benj. H. Gantt of P. Georges, sergeant-at-arms, and Wm. H. Marshall, of Worcester, door-keeper. Messrs. John W. Rider of Som., Saml. T. Houston, of Frederick, John T. Jackson, of Dorchester, Jas. B. Smith of St. Mary's, and Saml. Rinedollar, of Carroll, committee clerks.
On motion, the Rev. M. Hirst, (Methodist Episcopal church,) was elected Chaplain.
The Governor, in reply to a message of the two bodies, immediately sent in his annual message—a copy of which I send you.
Some minor legislation was performed.
The Senate, having re-elected all its old officers, proceeded to business.
As the message will occupy much of your columns, I need not be more particular.
