ed to that body and finally acted on by Them
yesterday. The committee of the Senate
proposed SO TO amend the bill as To extend the
charter fifteen years longer, instead of sir
as provided by the original bill ; aud that. in
consideration Of this additional extension, they
require that the individual stock holders orthe
bank shall pay, on the Isl day of May next,
the sum of 50,0O0,-tu he appropriated to the
purchase OF such library and apparatus as may

into full and complete operation. These IA
mcndments, proposed by the committee, were
yesterday taken up in the Senate, and adopted
without further amendment or discussion.
MIR. Chapman Johnson proposed tn strike
out the section providing for the establishment
of a branch or agency at Dan,iIle. Tbisprop
ostIon gave rise 10 some debate. 1t was ad
yocated by Mr.. Johnson, and opposed by
Messrs. Cabell and Claiborne, and decided in
the negaiire-ayes 10, noes IL. Several other
amendments were offered to the bill and re-
jected. According To Il provision in the de-
tails OF the amendments agreed to, there is Ia

bank previously TO the ! st day of May, for he
purpose Of accepting or rejecting The proyis-
ions Of the bill the decision Of that poreting
is To be certified 10 the executive, who are re-
quired to announce the same hy proclamation.
The final question was then taken ON its pas
