communication wac received from John
Sudsm, OF the senate, chairman of the Joint

or the Chemical Bank, informing thai VIM
Caldwell had appeared before he committee
and frankly answered all the questions put to

Mr. Cunningham then moved, that he be
| discharged from prison.
Mr.. Tallmadse said, that the proper place

the bar Of the house. So far as regarded his
| refusal 10 appear before the committee, his af-
ter conduct was satisfactory But he had also
| been guilty Of gross libel on the house, and
he ought, at the bar, 10 make an apology BE-
fore he was finally discharged.

ALBANY, November ID.
The LEGISLATURE. Many members of
| both houses have left the city, either with or
without leave of absence and there is an evil
dent desire on the part of those who remain,
| to bring the session TO as early termination
as possible Notwithstanding this, it is not pro
bable the legislature will adjourn within OF
10 days. The affair Of the Chemical Bank,
from the serious nature Of the charges, and
from the determination on the part of mem
bers TO give to them full Investigation, will
undoubtedly occupy aweek of itself The Joint
committee Of the senate and assembly have
Issued subpDnas for the attendance of several
persons residing In different parts Of the state
some OF which cannot be returned before the
middle OF next week. That il will result in
the perfect exOneration of M mbers is not, W.
believe, any where doubted though. as was
observed in the debate Of Wednesday, the
legislature owed ii To its own honour and re-
puta'ion, TO sho,o the faIlacy OF charges which
