Close oftbe session.

The letter of orr correspondent or another
page, will give some farther idea of the disgrace
u rcwdyiSm which prevailed in the House Of
Representatives, through the last two nights Of
It's Session, and by which many excellent bills
were defeated. The main purpose OF this Locc-
Foco tumult was The defeat Of the bill recharter-
ing the Banks Of the District ofColumbia, which
was finally effected. The bill was simply stifed
the rioters knowing they would be beaten on ii
direct vote. The Senate sent resolution to pro
long the Session to /. and then to , O'clock bu:
the latter was defeated by Mr.. Burke Of \. II.
moving that il do lie on the table, and Mr.. g..
W. Jones of Tenn. (also Loco called The Yeas
and NAYS, and thus consumed the time on the
cal of names I'LL L. O'Clock, when the Speaker
declared the Session al an end. Thus the Cum
berIand Road BILL the Naval Widows Pension
bill, Sc &c died the death. In short, at least Il
dozen most important measures were sacrificed
purely to defeat the District Banks bill The
