WAsuiNGToN, d. C. Thursday, Mag
22d, l834.--The Senate, after the
morning business was transacted, closed
their doors. 1t is understood that moth
ing of importance was done. The nom
nations which were yesterday sent, of
Mr.. Stevenson and MIR. Dickerson were
not submitted to the body, until this day.
They we've referred to the appropriate
committee. The nominations of Mr..
White of Baltimore, MIR. Alley, Of New
York, and Mr.. McAlIster, of Phila-
delphia, as Bank Directors, were con-
frmed. MIR. Vaux and Mr.. Horn, nom
mated at The same time, were not deci-
ded on. After which, the Senate doors
were again opened, and several private
and some public bills, taken up and pas
sed.
AT about 8 o'clock, the Senate adjourn
ed until Monday next.
The House took up and debated the
case of Messrs. Leicher and Moore
Mr.. Hamer, of Ohio, and Mr.. Binney
of Philadelphia, occupied the day, until
nearly o'clock.
The Investigating Committee report
ed. The majority report is in favor Of
the Speakers issuing warrant Of at
tachment against the Bank Directors
The minority report takes the ground
that the Board have acted legally. This,
l am informed, is the position which the
reports respectively assume. Neither Of
them were read, but both ordered to be
printed.
Mr.. Stevenson has not resigned the
Speakers chair. Some Of his friends
say that he will resign; but others think
that he will not, until the Senate have
confirmed his nomination.
Il Neither House meets until Monday
next. The weather is intensely hot and
the object of an adjournment for the two
next days is, not only to cleanse the
Halls, but to take up the woolen carpets
and cover the floors with mating.
