THE ENQUIRER.
LITCHFTELD, MAY 25. Is3z.

l On then assembling it was found there was m o,o- rum present; and on Wednesday the House wos thlnly attended. Thus was nearly n week lost and we suppose the members getting their nav from tho Treasury for the whole period. No business of con sequence has yet been accomplished But few com mttees have reported and no appointments made We learn that the Ltchfie!d county members have had one or two county meetings, but recommended no appointments of consequence. His honor Judge H. r. Welcb' we understand, "hangs by the gills'' in county meeting: 1t is not probable he will be recom mended tor the office of Judge again, but whether the House will take the responsibility of putting him in re- mans to be seen In county meeting he had but IA votes out ot the B members This looks rather soual ly for Ills Honor when all his own troops cannot be brought up to the scratch. We learn further that the small bill peons-that is for allowing the Banks to issue bills of $l and $2-are not likely to be granted It they should not the state will probably soon be flooded with either small bills from Massachusetts and Rhode Island, or shinplasters will have to come into use. There is no other alternative. From the little experience we already have had, we imagine the community are satisfied that we cannot get along for ] change with our present means.
 9T Since the preceding page, and the above mo- tlce were n type' we have received slip from the
 
 ceedngs of Saturday and Monday, but for which we have not room. Nothing of much consequence was transacted on elther day On Saturday. the nppoint- ments ot County Court and Probate Judges for Mid desex County and of County Court Judges and Sher. iii for Wind ham were made-Hezekiah Lyon is the sherft apPonted-the others we believe same as last year. B!ls repeating tbe charters ofthe Stamford N Haven City, and Quinebaug Banks, had two readings and referred to committee on Banks An abstract showing the actual condition of the several Banks in to be printed.
 On Monday, the bill relating to settlement of nhab- tans m towns, prohibiting their admission by vote of clvll authority and seectmen, or by being appointed to civil offices, was read second time and postpon- ed for third reading. The answer of the Directors of the City Bank at NewHaven to the Report of the Committee appointed to examine that institution was presented-and on the motion to print 1000 copies, gave rise to considerable debatc-Messrs Raymond, Phelps of Woodbury, Wiley, Curtis of Watertown, Carrlng,on and Donaghe in favor; and Messrs. Wood ruff and Curtis of Monroe against--ms.aa.o. se;nt prevailed. .nal unC

 Uncommon Occurrence.-A gentleman who started for 'the West last week, called and paid up his prin- ter s bill before leaving!
 So says western New-York paper. We can tell little better story than this. A friend and townsnan of ours started for Ohio few days ago; but before go ing he called upon us, and not only paid up arreara- ges, but paid for the Enquirer po yeGrs and haf adUunce May health, happiness, and abundance follow in his train.
 Hear what the government pet-Mr. Van Burens par excellence organ-the Albany Argus says of the Postmaster Generals order to pay for postage in spe ce. Not of the lesser lights in the region herea- bout dare utter such censure:
 We understand that an order was received yester- day by the Postmaster of this city, from the depart ment at Washington, directing that all payments for postage should be paid in specie, and that should be retained in the oice subject the draft of the gen eral office, or to the payment of contractors, expen- order at s moment; a can scarcely jal to lead to much public inconuenience and to Joss of enne to the department. Argus.
 The Gouernment Pets.-The Bank of the Metropo- lis and the Bank of Washington undertook to continue opay specie after the other Banks had stopped back ed by the influence of the government; but after two or three days "experment,' such was the constant run upon them for specie that they also yielded.
 01- As the news of the suspension of specie pay ments by the New York Banks travels South and West, all the banks follow suit Proceeding south wardly the news is met that in Mississippi and Ala bama and Louisiana the banks have there anticipated the movement, and also suspended. In New York, they stopped the 10th, in Natchez the s,h, and in of tho bo, nd tha and it was believed the whole would follow in day or two after. East, West, North and South, we do not hear of a single bank (except the New Haven City Bank) which has not yielded to the force of cir cumstances, and suspended specie payment. Sogoes MT. Van Buren's specie hunbug!
 3G The report in our last paper, from New Haven, about the breaking of the Bridgeport Bank turns out to be untrue The Cashier says no process has been served upon it, and that no bank in the state is in more sound or solvent state.
 MR. ADAMs-Pleaae inform your readers why it is that the convenience and interests of community should be made tributary to either the or INDo- LENcE of Post Masters or their Clerks? Had not the office better be open before o'clock at this of the year, and thereby add to the chances of replying to letters from the south by first mail? Further more, is Clerk in Post Office absoved from dis graccd by attentive and civil demeanor to the GUS toners ot the ofhce }! ACCOMMODATION.
