 Alter the debate on the State Bank charter had consumed lle time of the House up tho hour of 1 o'clock yesterday, inc Senate sent message to the House of Representatives, containing bll to liqu date the aairs of the State Bank and for oeer purposes. which brought the House to dead halt. The Senate bill covered the whole ground. Mr. Me- Cluus remarked that the message from the Senate was sort of peace offering, therefore he moved to lay the whole matter before the House upon the table, for the purpose of acting on the Senate bill, which Mas done and the Senate bill adopted. It diff ers very ghiis in substance from Mr. Chandler's bull. Alter the mailing of my letter yesterday, How ard, Murrisot, Pierce, Stth, McClung and other ad- dressed the House, and Davis of Limestone, away $ the look out Jor trop, warned those who were op- posed to h,gh far GW to watch this Bank bill and to vote upon it with great cautoh. His riends, how ever, did march np the line of oppositio and thrte aas little or opposition 10 it's passage. Me Clung IS great actitiln--he leads the House. His eagle eye flashes over the hail m an instant aud his quick perception seems to grasp the most intricate subject in the sHoriest space of lime. He is yglent and almost tyrancal iu the peremptory manner with winch he carries his measures. l know him SD well and have observed him long, that 1 can tell from his movements when he is going 10 speak or to make dash on any particular subject lie moves about hastily from seat to seal and exhibits great restless ness-Iounces down in the vicinity of the victim hints to the speaker by his eye nud, that ho warts tle floor, and the gentleman from Madison seldom fails to obtain the eye aud ear of the speaker. Whether he can manage to carry the great lax bill or not is questionable.
 Ther. has been considerable discuss ion in the House to day, on a proposioa to give to the Peni- tenlsry chaplin, al the salary of POO dollars pe annLn. Rating legislative day at SIX hours, and the daily expense of the leg slature 200 dollars the d-ba,e on this bill has already cost the State nearly the amount which it proposes to appropriate, TLs reminds lue of the story told somewhere m Salama. sundi. of th. prisoners of war who applied for pair ol brooches. being sadly in need, and was told that his wants could not be supplied until the matter should be brought before Congress.
 Judge Martin has made luminous report from the the State Bank committee, ill winch he recommend ed two bills, to extend the charter of the State Bank to the term of five years, with restrictions, Sc. -and the other in relation to the final settlement of the Branches. Two tlousond copies of the report ordered to be printed-Ihe bill extending the char ter printed and made the special order for Monday next. Ths bill will meet with warm opposition.- The general inclination of the House is against the extension of this charter. will make no prediction but will send you the report and bill when printed
 MT. Kitlrell, of the Bank committee, gave notice that there three of the committee who disagreed with the majority on th- question of extending the charter of the State Bank, and would make minori y report, if the action of the House should be of such a characiet as to make this necessary-suggesting however. that tine action of the House and Senate on yesterday seeemed to indicate that the present Gen. eral Assembly was totally averse to the extension of this charter.
 The bull to increase the salery of the Judge of the County Court of Mobile county, has this day passed the House of Representatives, where it came up for consideration. Mr. seawel made made an interest ing speech, in wh ch he detailed 10 the House the onerous duties which devolved upon that officer Mi Jemison proposed an amendment which would pre- vent the Judge from practising law in any of the courts. ThIs was killed Mir. Prince, of Washing ten, made speech against the bill Mir. Seawell replied handsomely, and the bill passsd by a smart majority.
 The Senate has been engaged to-day on d bank bill, reported by the bank committee, which proposes to collect 3Ss per cent of lhe bank debt. Some dis position is manifested to strike out 33a and insert 20 per cent. Judge Dargan opposed it with ability, and think he is right.
 Dargan occupies high stand in the Senate as you might well suppose. He is always listened to with attention. and great respect s entertained for his opinions.
