THE SUPREME C~oURT.-YeStcrday being tho day
appointed by law for the commencement of the annual
Session Of the Supreme Court, proclamation was according

the Court adjourned TO tomorrow.
The state Of the roads sufficiently accounts for the non
arrival OF other Judges. Chief Justice Marshall, we I'M

WASHINGTON, January 10.
THE BANK OF THE UNITED STATES has thrown IL
sell upon the country.' A Memorial of the President and
Directors, or a renewal OF its charter, was yesterday pre-
scented in each House of Congress. In the Senate it was
referred TO avery able Select Committee, and in the House
OF Representatives. the Committee of Ways and Means.
In the latter case, an interesting Debate took place, of
the spirit OF which, the small portion for which we have
been able to find room to-day will give the reader a tolera-
bic general idea. The government of the Bank has made
an unexpected move; and notwithstanding the repeated re-
iercnces 10 the subject by the Executive for 3 years past,
the Memorial now presented seems TO have taken the adj
versarics OF the Bank unpleasantly by surprizc. There
was some plain speaking on the both sides yesterday, and
those who felt least interested in the contest on the subject
between the different parties in the House appeared to be
the most amused by il.
The vote for reference, as it passed, proves nothing de-
clsively, except that there is doubtless a majority disposed
to entertain, at this session, the question of renewing the
Charter OF the Bank. We know, and feel authorized 10
state, that some Members voted against the reference of
the Memorial to the Committee of Ways and Means, who
are friendly to the renewal of the Charter of the Bank.
They went upon the ground that, heretofore, the subject,
whenever brought before the House for its action upon it,

u3' General Speight, seems to have authorized
the following statement in the Globe. We pro-
nounced the first contradiction, which was, that
Speight did not advise Houston to attack Stanbery

was, that Speight advised him not attack in the
Capital (or Rotunda,) that would be clearly n
breach of privilege The present contradiction is
full and explicit and We have neither the right, nor
the inclination, to consider it other than satisfac
tory.

the Telegraph against General Spotlight, and pre-
tends that the absolute contradiction given to it, in
the Globe is mere cquvocation. We repeat the
contradiction, and to meet the cavils of the Whig
specially assert, that General Speight did not
tcnanco the attack upon Governor Houston on Mr.
Htanberry in any way, nor encourage him to make
