 ThlrSdav. June S.-The Bank Committee reported to-day upon the Stamford Bank and New Haven City Bank. The Committee thought, that although these Banks had done very wrong, it was not expedient to deprive them of their charters, and recommended that the present directors of the Stamford Bank, and the President ofthe City Bank, be removed, and forever disqualified from hold ing those offices strange report, to be sure, but the principal objection was, it was not radical enough, so it was laid on the ta- ble, and the bills repeating the charters taken up, read, and made the order of the day for o-morroW. s... s,-, a. .a.t.-.: t. r.t-ss.
 Fridoy.-This morning, the Stamford Bank came up for its sentence. It seemed to De the prevailing opinion that the credit of the democracy demanded a sacrifice, and as they had got the monster on the altar, it would not do to recede. The bill reyoking its charter therefore passed, by majority of tive votes. It went into the Senate, where the vote upon the bill resulted in tie This placed the victim at the mercy of Lieutenant Governor Stoddard, who without hesitation, pronoun- ced the saving No" in tone that showed him to be in earnest. Thus the executioner's axe was stayed. s..4
 In the afternoon the case of the New Ha-
 ven City Bank came up in the House. The
 resolutions of the Committee were first taken
 up, and after being discussed awhile were
 laid on the table, to take up the bill repeal
 ing the charter. This in turn was shortly laid upon the table, the report again takenup, and, after considerable discussion, occepted.- After the House had thus adopted 1t as their opinion, that the charter of the Bank ought not to De repealed, it was moved that the House now take up the bill for repealing the chGrter Another debate ensued, and on taking the question, the bill was negatived by majori- ty of 12. :r tfa7,,. i-2.,
 Saturdey-The bill repeating the charter of the City Bank, came from the Senate, possed! It was moved that the House recon,s sider and concur. It was now getting late the House was impatient, the democracy were homesick, and all were anxious to be off-the yeas and nays were ordered, the vote was taken, and the bill passed, 94 to 90! The loco-focos chuckled-the deed was done, they thought, and they had at least accom- plished the death of. one monster, at the end of an eventful campaign But alas the hopes of the wicked perish, as the sequel proved. ...,.. .-,--.
 The House now dashed on again through their business, and disposed of a multitude ot minor matters in rapid succession, and about noon had every thing squared up, and were ready to "rise." The Chair now left the chair and retired for about l5minutes, during which time vote of thanks was passed, for the "dignifed and impartial manner in which he had discharged the duties of the Chair. When he again returned, the Clerk informed him of the act which had been per- petrated during his absence. The news was evidently sudden and unexpected. The Chair rose, and styling himself only "the humble individual who now addresses you," returned his sincere thanks for this expres- sion of their regard, said he did not think it best to make very long speech, and conclu- ded by bidding the House as atfectionate farewell as though the small bill law had passed without his favorite amendment, and he had been actually about to start on hls threatened journey to Canada
 A committee was now appointed to inform the Governor that the House was ready to adjourn, and to inquire how soon he could at- tend and dismiss them. The Committee re- ported that His Excellency had communi- cation to make, and would be ready in a few minutes The House waited, and wait ed, the members sat and looked at one anoth- CT, until at length it was whispered about that VETO was upon the carpet. We step ped into the Senate Chamber, and sure enough, there was the Clerk stumbling thro' the Governors veto message upon the 6H re- pealing the chaner g the City BGnks at Nea0 Hauen! The message being finished, the Senate reconsidercd their vote upon the bill. Nothing was said, and upon again taking the question, the bill was negatived, 10 to 9!- The bill having originated i'll the Senate, thls settled the business.
 The Senate then adjourned into the Rep resentatves Hall, where the Governor short lyattended, and having read to them snort homily, in which his usual protundlty was displayed, he, too, bade them farewell, (and a long farepeH it will prove) Thus ended the 46 days session, (so it was calculated in the debenture bill,) at an aggregate expense of between thirteen and fourteen thousand dollars RequieScat in pace !-Har.
