g refer you to the Albany Register for
a sketch OF the proceedings of the House of
Assembly on Thursday. This morning the
house received resolution, which yester-
day passed the Senate in the following
words: Resolved, that if the Hon. the AS
sembly Concur therein. that the Legislature
will resume the business depending before
the Senate and Assembly respectively, at
their last meeting in the state in which it
remained at the time when they we're pro-
rogued By his EXcellency the Governor, -
Considerable opposition was expected. but
the questionbeing put for concurrence passed
Iunanimously--so both Houses remain in sta
~ quo-Aware that the last reading of the
Bill Tor the incorporation of the American
Bank must OF course take place in the Sc
nate this day-I went to the Senate Cham.
Der; while there, several remonstraDcasw were
presented against the bank, which hayino,
been ordered to leon the table, the question
was put for the last reading of the bill when
Mr., Iayior moved that the bill be re-
conn ltted to committee of the whole
House" and stated as one reason. that tb-
bill was defective, iuasmuch as it's OPERATE
ons were not confined the city of New
York,
. Mr. Root spoke infavor of re-commitment
as did Mr.. Witkin-Ther principal arru-
ment was directed against the defects of. the
Dill, and in addition to the one mentioned bv
Mr. Taylor, the death of one of the direc-
tors named in the bill, and the resignation
OF another (Mr. Fish) were stated as suffi
Gent to Justify re commitment. i'm order
that It the bill must pass, it might be as per.
feet as possible. The friends of tie bant
cOnceiving that the only object Of its oppo.
sers was to gain time, evinced no disDositi.
Oh to agree TO their motion, but Commended
that the defects Of the bill, as far as Il re-
lated to the place of transactiDe business
could be supplied by . general law, res.
trlcting that and all other banks from DOING
business except in the place where thew y,
riginally conmenCed--that the directors IN
the bill were authorised to supply vacancies
occasioned by death or resignation and as
the stock OF the late u. S. bank was partis
ally to be divided in few days, it was all
important that no further procrastination
should take place.
The principal speakers on this side were
General Plat, Gov. Lewis, and Judge Hop
kns after which Mr.. Sanford spoke in ia
yor ofa recommitment at considerable length
and it IS said with much ingenuity, but he
speaks so very low, / could not hear his ar.
guments. At O'Clock a motion was made
to adjourn, and lost, 16 to 10. Others of
the opponents then resumed tho same argu-
ments, IN order believe to occasion DELAY
and have an adjournment until tomorrow.
when Mr.. Swift who is now absent, and who
was and is opposed to the Bank, will be
here. After some debate the house adjourn
ed until to morrow.
