We have the satisfaction to state, that by express
alvice from IVashitigton, intelligence is received
that, on Satititlay last, in the Supreme Court,
Chief Justice Mstialiall delivered the opinion 15r
the Court, in the case of i•l'Culloch v. the State
5111131aittl, Ned that opinion protiounces the
Batik of the United States cutist;tutional, and de-
clares all attempts on the port of the State Batiks
jto tax it unconstitutional, and null and void.

In the article that :eppeared in our colomos of
yesterday, relative to Mr. Qt IN awl Mr. GRAVY,
we find that we 1191 e been tiii,takesi with resi.ect to
the suggestion of Mr. MARTIN, of Galway, in the
debate of Nlemilay night. Upon itieresice to the
report, lie appears to have said, " That he thought
the conduct of Mr. QUIN reprehensible, iu de-
priving Mr. GRADY of the office he had so lot.g
held, and that there was no vindicating it when
coupled with his inelprequeta conduct in saying—
My dear Tom, I wuulai rather give you ie place
than take one frosts you.' lle wished the 11151 stiou
was adjourned, because lie hail heard a report,
which, if True, could base a material effect 1111011
his vote. He had heard that Mr. Qui N intended,
wheel dna question was net r, to reinstate Mr. Gruff!,
in his qiies, which would greatly mitigate los
offence."
