REPORT OF THE BANK COMMITTEE.


The Report consists chiefly OF n discussion
OF The powers Of the Committee, rnd n reci-
tai Of the several attempts made by them to
subject the books Of the Bank TO an unquali-
he'd inspection, hrst, at the banking house,
and then nj the hotel where the committee
lodged. IL charges the Bank with disobedi-
enee TO law, violation Of the charter, and con-
tempt OF the authority Of the House ia resist
ing these attempts; and closes with sundry
resolutions, Of which the most important Is
one to this effect: THAT the Speaker Of the
House issue his Warrant TO the Sergeant-at-
Arms, directing him 10 proceed TO PhiladeI.
Phia and arrest the Directors OF the Bank re-
siding IN that city, and bring them TO the bar
oil the House, TO answer to the charge Of con-
tempt Of its authority"
The Report Of the Minority Of the Com.
mitiee, (Messrs. +. Everett aud Ellsworth, J

the majority. u was also ordered 10 be
Prinied, aud We have enjoyed the pleasure
OF hasty perusal Of il. IL, ia like manner.
contains discussion Of the powers Of the
COMMITTEES, rs understood by the minority.
AND The reasons which led them to dissent
from their colleagues, in their demand 10 have
the books Of the Bank carried out Of the
banking house, or there submitted 10 inspec-
ton, except according To the requirement o.
The charter. The minority Of the Committee
have urged. that under the circumstances Of
the case, they dad not feel themselves war
rsnted IN calling upon the Bank, voluntarily
TO cooperate m an iDquisition, Of which the
object was directly eventually To eriminste
ITS Directors and officers; aud that, in insist
ing thst the inspection Of the books should be
confined within the limits Of the charter, the
Committee Of the Board Of Directors was
guilty OF no contempt Of the House. The pa
per - one OF great ability, and will we are
sure carry conviction TO every mind capable
OF considering the subject diSpassiouateiy.
IL - our design, At as early \ period as pos
sible, 10 spread these two documents before
the public. We forbear ali comment, till
their deliberate perusal ~ s<isnSo shall make
us fully acquainted with their contents. Mean
time It sirikesus a. some what singular, If the
Directors Of the Bank have, a. Is alleged by
the majority, been guilty Of violation Of the
charter on the subject Of the inspection Of
the books, that the committee did not re-
commend a seivs (seia', the process prescrib-
ed By Law when the charter u alleged 10 be

parties implicated the benefit Of iriai by ju-

From Ara,cA.-Loss of the packet ship Jupi

From ArRrcA.-Loss of the packet ship Jupi
ter.-The brig Ruth, Taylor, from the Yves
Coast of Africa arrived yesterday at Phladel
pha In this vessel came passengers John Han
son, Esq, and Captain A. S. Hussay; and the
crew of the ship Jupiter, which vessel was lost or
the African Coast By the same arrival we learn
than Jonathan JONES' colored man, belonging
to Maryland one of the emigrants 10 cape Pal
mas. was drowned on the 18th October last, com
ing out of Bassa Bar. He was on his way home
for his family
Since the above was in type we have been Ia
vored with several letters from Monrovia de-
failing the particulars Of the loss Of the packet
ship Jupiter, Capt. Knapp.
The Jupiter sailed from New York for Libe-
ria, in June, with passengers for the Colony. She
had fine run of 81 days to the Cape de Verd
Islands, and met with no accident except the
loss of one ofthe seamen, who fell from spar.
From the cape de Verbs they had light winds
to the coast of Africa and arrived at Monrcvia
on the last day of July, and on the lst OF Au-
gust all the passengers were safely landed they
Immediately proceeded to the government
house. where hymn was sung. composedby Or.
Skinner, one of the passengers
The following is an extract of letter from
the supercargo, written at Monrovia with
out date)-
AFTER landing our fire ght and passengers we
proceeded to windward as far as Mamma river;
we had tremendous storm on the nigntS OIL tne
18th and 18th. We were obliged to let GO our
two best anchors, with 70 to 90 lathoms Of chain,
veered away on each. On the morning of the
18TH we dropt the stream anchor, the vessel still
drifting, every sea making breach over, when
at O'Clock, she struck with atremendous crash
and carried away her rudder. In fifteen minutes
she again struck at which time We were holding
on TO the main chains, with the expectation that
the mast would 60 by the hoard.
We stove the water casks on deck to make
her strike easier, and cut the stream cable to
let her drift as near shore as possible, but she
continued to strike at intervals TIL daylight
every moment expecting to be our last. At
this period we found ourselves but short dis
lance from shore, and in the course Of the day ef
fected landing with some clothing and provis-
ions, but the natives stole both from u.s. After
enduring much from hunger, thirst and fatigue,
we arrived here on the Goth August, where we
have suffered from fever, of which Mr.. Kyon,
the first officer, and one seaman have died."
We areg lad to learn, that the Jupiter and her
cargo was insured in Wa-street for fifteen
dollars:
Our latest letters mention that provisions and
t6hacco were in demand at good prices.

WASHINGTON

Some time after the death of this il.
lustrious patriot, President Jefferson
who, it is well known had no great
prediction for his character during
life, drew up his portraiture, fairly,
when they could not come into collision
with each other. In this draft, we
find the following paragraph, and none
will deny either its truth or its justice:-
perhaps (says Mr.. Jefferson) the
strongest feature of his character was
PRUDENCE, never acting until every
circumstance, every consideration, was
maturely weighed, restraining, if he
saw doubt; but, when once decided,
going through with his purpose, what
ever obstacles opposed. His integrity
was most pure, his Justice the most in
flexible | have ever known, no motion
of interest or consanguinity, of friend
ship or hatred, being able to bias his
decision. He was indeed, in every
sense ofthe word, a wise, a good, and
a great man. His temper was natur
ally irritable and high toned: but re-
Election and resolution had obtained a
firm and habitual ascendency over It,"
