The session of the Legislature appears
to be drawing to a close. Yesterday the
House of d. met at 10 O'Clock. and adj
Journed about 1. Every thing before them
was disposed of. A great number. of bills
on Their first reading, were, contrary to the
usual custom, read second time aud or
dered to be engrossed. The attendance Of
The members is unusually punctual at this
period of the session. The only subjects
OF Importance not disposed of and which
are likely to consume much time, are the
bills relating TO the James and Potomac
rivers, and the bills, sc. from the commit.

WAsnINGros, February 6.-The House
OF Representatives yesterday found itself
engaged in discussion of subject, ola ves
ry different nature froEl that Of the poIlti-
co-economic question with which it was
occupied on the preceding day.
The whole day was consumed in a dis
cussion Of a delicate and very much per-
sona nature, which arose out of a motion.
made by Mr.. CAMPBELL, of Ohio, evident
y without personal motives, TO pursue still
further the Investigation which was institu-
ted on the letter addressed by Gales Il
SeatoD, to the House of Representatives,
IN their capacity as Printers to that House.
Mr.. L. did not move this further inquiry
because he was not entirely satisfied with
The report OF the late committee, so far as
That report went in the acquttal of the.
persons implicated; but, as that commit
tee had conceived its powers to have been
limited, and had not prosecuted its ipQui.
rlcs to the discovery of the person who
did make one, aud the most material one,
ofthe erasures, he wished a committee to
be appointed, with full powers to invest
gate the subject thoroughly, to the end
that the quit, in the case, if any existed,
might, lfpossibe, be detected and exposed.
We do not know how to narrate the In
cidents of this debate, of which our Repor-
ter last night attempted an abridgement
but abandoned the task in despair of sue
cess. The full report of the proceedings
OF yesterday only, will require more than
one day to transcribe them, and even then
Will be imperfect. 1t may, however, give
an idea OF the nature of the debate to say,
that 1t was of painful interest, and that
&C areely any one gentleman engaged in It
who was not more than once interrupted
by calls TO order.
1t is no longer question in which the
printers to the House of Representatives
I oar humble selves are personally concern
ed. 1t embraces wider scope, entraininS
within It's vortex high officers of the gov
ernment and members of Congress, whose
