THE TWO BILLS.


The two great topics Of the session. are still pending
before the House Of Delegates The Internal Improos
mems Bill has been nclct on aud has been laid aside
for several days TO allow opportunity Of discussing
the Bank Bill. The latter begins to press upon The Lee
gsInture, the Suspension Act of the Extra Session
will expire about the Goth OF the month.
The Bank Bill has thus been in full blast. for the two
LIST days But the fable of Penelope has been acted
ugan-as thu House undd yesterday, most Of what they
Lad done on Tuesday. On that day, they had struck
out The m clause and adopted in lieu Of it, the nmend
Incnl Of Mr.. Robertson OF Richmond, which provided
that the Banks should, after making dividend Of -
per cent apply the surplus profit 10 the purchase Of spe
Gle. Ohci propositions were also made 10 compel the
Banks to resume payment BY certain day. either with,
or without the of the Northern Banks-ond
ii they did not resume, their notes not 10 be re-
ceived for the Stale taxes and they were to be put on
Tie footing Of the notes Of unchartered Banks. These
propositions, however, failed.
Yesterday, the question considered and the de-
cisons Of the day before reversed. MIR. Robert
sons amendment rcjecled-and the l,h clause re-
iuslacd-which allows the Banks TO declare dividend
until the day of and after that period it
is be prohibited under the penalty Of paying l2 per
cent damages all of their notes, which may be sued
on. 1--WE understand that it is proposed TO fill the
blank so rs TO allow the Banks to make Tie July dir
dend and then 10 prohibit others under the specified
penalty)
Towards the close Of yesterday session. Mr. Smith
of l. of W. offered his printed substitute for the whole
hll.-And after he had amended and explained his
scheme, the House adjourned without coming 10 any
decision.
