WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. CLOSE OF THE SESSION,


 The House met at eight o'clock this morn- ing, and the Senate at half past eight o'clock. In the House, the amendment introduced in the Senate by MT. Webster, upon the Bill se- curing the payment of the public money in the Deposit Banks, came up for considera- ton. The amendment imposes some addi- tional responsibilities upon the Deposit Banks who do not pay their appointed install ments to the Government in the time and in the manner prescribed by law. A default to do SO is to be considered failure, and an in- terest of six per centum is to be charged for default until the time of payment.
 MT. Adams objected at length to the Bill and amendment and went into an examina- ton of both. Some of the members of the House endeavored to gag MT. A. by cries of was foremost among the disorderly persons, and enacted the part of the snarling Ther- sites to perfection. Twice or three times out of order hinself he was finally called to or der, and told to take his seat, by his friend the Speaker.
 Mir. Adams was not out of order, and spoke at length upon the Bill-n notwithstanding the attempt to drown his remarks with cries of 1 question and calls of order. Mir. Adams said the House had disgraced itself by some of it's actions upon some of the Bills before the House. MT. Cambreleng sneakingly said Ill ms seat m kind of half whisper, in the hearing of no one but some few friends in the House, that the House had not disgraced it. self, but MT. A. had disgractd the House, if the House was disgraced. f.34 .,a l During Mir. Adams remarks it was deci ded to be out of order to refer to any busi ness transacted in the Committee of the Whole. MT. Adams, then to illustrate his re- marks, supposed case of legislative body any where, in the moon for example.
 MT. Cambreleng, in reply, insulted MT Adams, by saying, that he, Mir. Adams, was better fitted to represent a legislative body in the moon than any where else. MT. Cam breleng, if he has no respect for himself should learn to respect his betters. He is not the man to insult and abuse such man as John Quincy Adams upon the floor of the House of Representatives. Mir. Adams was called to order by Mir. Cambreleng, younger in years and inferior in every thing, while the Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means was permitted to insult the Elk President with impunity.
 The previous question was called and sus- tained after MT. c. finished his remarks.-- The main question-which was the adoption I of the amendment of the Senate to the Depo. sit Bank Bill, was put and decided in the af: 1 firmative. Ayes 1O6, Noes 40. s3e
