Mr. English moved yesterday the consideration of Critteden's resolutions, for the purpose of reference to committee of thirty-three. Under previous question, the House refused to consider, by majority of eight votes. Senate to-day laid aside Crittenden's resolution for Pacific Railroad bill, all the Republicans voting against us. Rust denounced the pretended report of House committee as a fraud upon the country, as a majority had not supported it.
