THE NATIONAL BANK.

The committee of the House OF Reprcsen-
tatives, which was appointed to examine
the subject or National Bank. yesterday
reported to the II ouse as the unanimous o
pinion of the Committee, that no bill on the
subject could be matured and deliberately
discussed at the present session !; and the
committees were therefore discharged from
the further confederation of the subject.
!. 1t is not to be supposed, from this proce-
dure, that the Committee were hostile to
the principle. SO tar from it, nothing but
the want OF time prevented them from ma.
turing bill; 10 regard to the details o.
which, the capital and location ofthe Mother
Bank, however, considerable diversity ui
opinion prevailed,
There caNnot be. e. doubt but the subject
will be revived at tie next session, and fal
ly examined. Meanwhile, an opportunity
will be offered to the Members of Congress.
and others, during the recess, for csnd,d
and fair examination into the merits os the
proposition for the establishment of Ma.
tionsl Bank.
This decision, BY Republican com nit
