INSURANCE.
Mr. NEWCOMB introduced a bill [H. R. 255] for an act supplemental to an act entitled An Act for the Incorporation of Insurance Companies, defining their powers and prescribing their duties, approved March 17, 1852. [It provides that such Companies may insure against the loss of Health, Life and against Accidents.]
On the motion of Mr. THACHER, it was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
Mr. PRATIIER said he had been advised that one of our regiments - the l0th Indiana Cavalry, was about to be received and welcomed in speeches; [the same fact was being announced in brass music at the Reception Platform in the eastward grounds;] and he thought the House had better adjourn for the occasion,
The motion was withheld for a formal message from the Senate announcing the action of that body, by O. M. Wilson, their Secretary.
And then the House [at 3 o'clock p. M.] adjourned.
