Never was there a larger assemblage within i die walls of tho Capitol than that which filled Ihe galleries, avenues, and passages of both Hou ses yesterday to hoar the first Message of Picsi dunt Van Burnt to the afiemhled Wisdom of the nation. Mr, Garland of Va. from the Commit tee appointed hy the House lo wait on the Presi dent, and inform him that Congress was assem bled, and ready to tocoivo any comiminicaliOn he might have to make, reported that that duly had been discharged, and lhat the President would transmit a Message at twelve o’clock. All eyes were immediately turned to the liar, ut which Abraham Van Burcn, Esq., the President’s pri vate secretary and second son, appeared, and hav ing been introduced in the usual form hy the door-keeper, presented the Message in a very graceful and appropriate manner. The message was read in a clear and forcible manner hy Mr. Franklin, the Clerk, and listened to wilh deep and fixed attention by the House. It was easy to discover that tho Whigs regarded its extreme Loco Focoism wilh some surprise, though not regret. That the “Conservatives” were filled wilh chagrin and mortification; and that thu Gloliciles and ultras were full of joy and exultation. No rrmaiks, how ever, were made in reference lo the subject matter; although a disputu arose among some of the members with regard to tho number of copies which ought lo be printed. A proposi tion having been made lo print 80,0110 copies Mr. Whittlesey, of Ohio, look occasion !o com ment, with some severity, upon this attempt lo begin the session which had been rendered neces sary by the public embarrassment, with an act of such extravagance. His suggestions, however were of no avail. Twenty thousand copies were j ordered —and ten thousand of the Treasury Re port. The House then proceeded to the election of a Printer, and after five balloting* with no material ' change in the state of tho poll, the members be came tired, and canto to tho determination to ad journ for dinner. (iales Ac Seaton received 103 I votes, Blair As Rives 104, and Thomas Allen,the editor of the Madisonian 88. It requires a ms jorily of the whole number present to make an J election; so of course no one obtained the situa lion. in the Senate there was nothing ol importance done. The Message was read. Mr, Silas Wright, j the author of the “yet untried expedient,” moved, that five thousand copies bo printed, Mr. Clay | seconded the motion! and expressed his wrlling . t ness that not only five, hut ten, twenty or forty i thousand copies should bo printed, and circulated { far and wide. The express mail having departed yesterday at i 18 o'clock for the South, 1 sent to your address a copy of the Message; but was of course obliged lo defer Ihe synopsis of Congressional proceedings > i ill to-day. Another day consumed in balloting and dis i eussron—and ycl no printer elected !

A ■ of Conservatives which would secure (liesuccess Blair and Rives. The proceedings of this day clear ly show I think; lhat the conductors of the infamous ; | Globe eon in no event bo elected printers lo the present House of Representatives. Their friends ' after caucusing all last week, discovered their weskness; fit to day one of them a Mt. Bronson of i i N.

H« offered t resolution providing lhat Die printing for the House for (blank) lime ! "liould be given out under the direction of l h® i Clerk. Thu movement mr promptly exposed hy Mr. Cushing of Mae*, who declared it wa« an attempt to Jo that indirectly which the Hotwe had yesterday refuauj by a luge and decisive vote lo ' do directly—namely,to give the work to Blair and 1 Riven. A motion war made to lay the resolution lon the table which wa« lost. It wan at this point r | that the spirited and eloquent Pickens of S. C. j rose and offered an amendment providing that the I contracts should be given to the lowest bidder. Ills object waa to separate the House from all aa aociation with partisan editora in the capacity of ' public printers. He supported his proposition with asp rech of great power, in which he drew ’ a forcible and faithful picture of the vasscllagc of the trainbands to the Cilolie, and denounced the government for the use it made of that en* ' gine of despotism. A number of amendments | were offered; and a discussion of great spirit and 0 , variety arose, running into questions of national ' and party politics, in which Mr. Wise gave us a taste of that sarcastic and fiery eloquence for ' which he is so justly celebrated, and Mr. Ogden ’ Hoffman, a new member from the city of New 1 Vork, made his debut in a short but most beauti ful and impressive speech. He took at a bound,a r most distinguished position in the House, and he I showed ability, and eloquence, and debating ta- I lent sufficient to enable him to retain it. The t discussion was terminated by a motion to lay the 1 resolution snd the amendments on tbe table, f which prevailed, e The balloting proceeded: and it became evident I tstot the whig members were beginning to con a centratc upon ths editor of the Madisonian,whose B vote increased on every ballot. No result had 1 been come to, and the House is still in session, - when, in order to meet the express mail, I must ■ bring this to a close. The Senate to-day (Sept. sth) did not remain f in session longer than half an hour. They re : solved to appoint the standing committees to-mot l row. Nothing of importance was transacted. WASHINGTON, Sept. 7, 1837. The Senate lo day was occupied lor a Conalde* r rablo time with Executive business—a number r of unimportant appointments were laid before ’ them for advice and consent; and were duly act ed upon. The Chairmen of several of the principal Ouiti* mlltcos wets elected by ballot. Mr. Wright of N. \ . was re-elected lo the bead of the Commit ! tee on Finance. Mr. Buchanan lo the chair I of Foreign Relations. Mr. King of Ala. to the head of the Committee on Commerce. For the 1 chair of manufactures, Mr. Niles received 19 voles—but there not being a quorum present, there was no election. Mr. Clay then moved that the appointment of the remainder of the Chairmen, and the filling up of the Committees lie left to the discretion of the Vico President, which was carried without a division. The re sult of Mr. Vico President Johnson’s selection will he announced to morrow. The House have passed several hours in the election of a Printer, and the questions arising upon it. Tho subject pending at the adjourn ment of the House last night, was tho resolution of Mr. Boon of Indiana, for conducting the elec tion of a printer viva voce. Mr. Robertson this morning moved a substitute fur it, teciting that the printing of the House ought to be separated from all connection with tho political Press; and providing that the Clerk direct the printing to he given by contract to four Printers of Washing, ton (Jit.v, and to bo distributed among them in equal portions. Mr. Garland of Va., rose to express his concur rence in the opinions, which led his colleague ! (Mr. R.) to propose this resolution ; but thought the object impracticable at the present time. He avowed himself one of those who voted for Mr. ■ Allen. Ho did so, because ho stood pledged to 1 hit constituents to support principles and doc- | trines against what the conductor of the Globe arc warring. Mo alluded lo tho remark made j yesterday in debate, that I tic Conservatives were 1 marked men for execution. They might bo so:* but that consideration should never prevent him from supporting his principles. Mr. Wise expressed his belief that his colleague (Mr. Garland) would ever defend his principles and iloctoines as became a true Virginian. Tho resolution of Mr. Boon and Mr. Robert son both, were laid upon the table after sonic fur ther discussion. Mr. Graves of Kentucky then offered a resolution providing that the Clerk procure the printing tu be done by Mr. Allen, according to contracts. Mr. Patton moved and lay the resolution on tho table. Mr. Gholson (a Globe man) called for the ayes and noca in order to ascertain who tho friends of Allen were,and lo frighten them into the support of the Globe. Mr. Lega-e ofS.C. called upon Mr. Gholson of Mississippi lo withdraw his demand for the ayes and nocs. He said he had j voted for Mr. Allen from first lo last ; and he did not make the request now because the friends I of Mr. Allen had any care about being known as such, but because it was unnecessary. He and his friends would vote against the resolution (of Mr. Graves) it was, in his opinion, inconsistent with lb« practice of the Houses, Mr. Lcgaro declared he would not vote for Blair and Rives in any case. Mr. Graves, after aome farther dis cussion, withdrew his resolution. The balloting was thou renewed; and it np peared that Blair and Rives received, 104 votes Gales and Sjcaton, 48 Allen, 70 Scattering, 5 Mr. Howard of Md., then made an attempt to have tho printing given to Blair and Rivea untij the third Monday in September, but on motion of Mr. Patton, tho proposition was laid on the table There were two more ballolings—twelve in alj —and on tho last, Gules and Seaton obtained, 9 votes Blair and Rives, 101 Tho*. Allen, 113. And the last number being a majority of the whole" voles given, Mr. Allen was declared to ' be duly elected printer to tho House of Repre sentatives during the twenty fifth Congress. The remainder of the sitting was occupied in the consideration of several motions relative to the amendment on adoption of the rules. The election of Mr. Alien has lice “hailed on 1 all sides as a triumph over the Loco Forocs and Agrarians ; and it ought to lie regarded as a dc • ciaive expression by the representatives of the people of reprobration of tha President’s Message. 1 That document is\n accordance with the whole 1 tone and character of the articles on the currency 1 in the Globe. The peoples representatives have declared both against the President and the Exe cutive Organ. M. from lit .V. f Commercial Adi'. Sept. 4. THREE DA VS LATER FROM ENGLAND.

The ediloraof the Commercial Advertiser are consequcntlyin possession of London papers to the (ith of Augijiii inclusive, together with the latest commercial and 1 other advices to theoth inclusive. 1 The papers are still filled with the proceedings , of the pending election*, which are marked with I great spirit, not unattended with outrage. Ihe conservatives have put forth their utmost energies; 1 but king numbers is two strong foi them, although I they have gained considerable upon him. Mr. Hume, long the Radical member for Middlesex, , has been driven from that strong hold, hy an over whelming vole, and has taken refuge as a candidate • in Kilkenny. On the other baud, the conserva • lives have lost the election in Dublin, where the f leading radical candidate, Dan. O’Oonnell him , self, has been returned, with his associate candi -1 dale, Mr. Hutton, by a majority of 100. The triumph of the agitator in the Irish capital, was a 5 soul sc of great exultation, 1 The Duchess of St. Albans died on the oth of - August. It is at once a significant and remarkable sign ol the times, that the conservatives have generally carried the English counties, while the reformers 1 are indebted to the boroughs—the former objects i of their holy horror—for all the strength they have r in the English representation. A Liverpool paper of August Bth, gives the fol -1 lowing as the general result of the elections, so ' for as the returns have been received; - In the English boroughs the reformers have re , turned one hundred and ninety-three members, , and the conservatives one hundred and forty eight. In the English Counties the reformers have rc ! turned only thirty-six members, while the con > servatives have reiured eight-eight. In Scotland the reformers have rcturnedjlhirty ’ two-members, and the conservatives fourteen: and In Ireland the reformers have returned twen t ty-one members, and the conservations eight. . The total number returned by the reformers in f the three kingdoms is, therefore, 382, and by the conservatives 359; giving ministers a majority of 1 only 23, There still, however, remain to be ac > counted for 31 English country members, 6 t Scotch members, and 76 Irish membets, to make up tbe the number ofGSB; and supposing the re sults lo be in the same proportion as in the eon ’ tests already decided, it is probably that the ma • jority of ministers will be increased from 23 to . between 35 and 40. It will be somewhat bc twceen thirty and forty at all events, unless the Irish elections should lake a less favorable turn than there is any reason to expect. ■ The Morning Herald of the 7th gives a sum r mary of the returns thus: ministerial members re turned, 252; conservative gain 50; loss 36. Lcav. ing a nett conservative gain of 14. It is clear ■ from these results, that the strength of the min istes depends upon what the conservalives , snceringly denominate Mr. O’Connell’s “Tail”— consisting of a compact body of some fifty mom hen.
