 Two weeks of the session have gone by, and as yet every thing goes very harmoniously The business which has been dOne is principally of private char Ncter, and no question has been taken to try the strength of parties in the house. Among other petit CiOns there five for the incorporation of Banking Companies, viz: at Bridgeport, one at Farming ton. one at Meriden, one at Windham, and one at Thompson. suppose the Committee on Banks will, Ne the usual course report in favor of all of them and let them try their fate in the house.

 The great Jackson Convocaton has taken place, and the members have dispersed. You will see by she papers that Henry w. Edwards presided. I, is hoped that it will longer be deemed doubtful which party this gentleman belongs It will be re- collected, that when it was attempted to make him Lieutenant Governor, year ago. it was denied by many his friends that he belonged to the Jackson party. The course he has since taken has prov ed that the approximations of those who were opposed to his election were we'll founded.
