A message was received from the Senate by Asbury Dickins, Esq., their Secretary, stating that a quorum of that body had assembled, and were ready to proceed to business. The Speaker then said that the members of the House would be called by States in order to be sworn; which was accordingly done. The House being thus organized - Mr. Dromgoole offered the following, which was considered, and adopted: Resolved, That a message be sent to the Senate, to inform that body that a quorum of the House of Representatives have assembled, and have elected John W. Jones, of Virginia, their Speaker, and are ready to proceed to business. Mr. C. J. Ingersoll offered the following resolution; which was considered, and adopted: Resolved, That a committee be appointed, to join such committee as may be appointed on the part of the Senate, to wait on the President of the United States, and inform him that a quorum of the two Houses of Congress have assembled, and are ready to receive any communication that he may be pleased to make. The following Senators appeared in their scats to-day, viz: Mr. Sevier, of Arkansas; Mr. Bayard, of Delaware; Mr. McDuffie, of South Carolina; Mr. Porter, of Michigan; and Mr. Berrein, of Georgia. A message was received from the House of Representatives, (by Matthew St. Clair Clarke, their Clerk,) informing the Senate that the House had organized, by the election of the Hon. John W.
