FROM WAsHIreroN-Aug. 5th. In Senate
the ratification bill and district bank bill both
finally passed this day, and were sent to the
house. But four senator, voted against the
Notification bill, Mr.. Calhoun led off against
it. The two houses are gradually bringing
things to an issue. Rumors, as usual, for and
against the veto of the President of the fiscal
Bank bill. Nothing has occurred to lessen
the probability of the passage of the bill through
the house, and the final signature of the exec
utive. The New-York bank memorial in the
house attracts much attention, reaching from
the speakers desk to the centre of the Rotun-
da. Tomorrow it is expected the bank bill
will pass the house. Mr.. Wise is opposing it,
a real Johnny Randolph without his talents.
