The following are the proceedings of the senate on the 26th September of same year, in relation to the same subject:

In Senate, September 26, 1837.

Mr. Wright, from the committee on finance, called up the report in relation to the petitions for a national bank, which was,

Resolved, That the prayer of the respective petitions be not granted."

After some debate upon the proposed amendments, the question was taken and decided in the affirmative, yeas 31, nays 14, viz:

Yeas-Messrs. Allen, Benton, Brown, Buchanan, Calhoun, Clay of Alabama, Fulton, Grundy, Hubbard, King of Alabama, King of Georgia, Linn, Lyon, M'Kean, Morris, Nicholas, Niles, Norvell, Pierce, Rives, Roane, Robinson, Smith of Connecticut, Strange, Talmadge, Walker, Wall, White, Williams, Wright, Young-31.

Nays-Messrs. Bayard, Black, Clay of Kentucky, Clayton, Crittenden, Kent, Knight, Prentiss, Robbins, Smith of Indiana, Spence, Swift, Tipton, Webster-14.

RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS.-The banks of New Orleans, Mobile, Natchez, and Nashville, having

resolved to resume specie payments in January next, the probability is, that after the middle of that month specie payments will have been entirely resumed throughout the United States, excepting in the case of what are called the new banks of Missisippi. The few that lag behind will be marked out as unworthy of confidence, and the chances are, that their notes will soon cease to form any part of the currency. Such a general restoration of the currency within twenty months from the period of the general stoppage was hardly anticipated at the time it took place, and would not have taken place, in our humble estimation, bad it not been for the New York law, which compelled the banks to resume in May last, or forfeit their charters.

MR. GRUNDY'S BILL.At page 373, we gave a copy of the bill reported by Mr. Grundy, entitled "An act to prevent the issuing and circulation of the bills, notes, and other securities of corporations created by acts of congress which have expired." That bill became a law on the 7th of July, in the words of the original bill, amended by striking out from the end of the first section these words, "or by imprisonment and confinement to hard labour not exceeding ten years, or by both such fine and imprisonment," and by inserting as follows: "Or by imprisonment and confinement not less than one year, nor exceeding five years, or by both such fine and imprisonment: Provided, That nothing herein contained shall be construed to make it unlawful for any person not being such director, officer, or agent of the said corporation, or any trustee thereof, or any agent or officer of such trustee, or any person having in his possession or under his control the property of the corporation, for the purpose aforesaid, who shall have received or may hereafter receive such bill, note, check, draft, or other security, bona fide and in the ordinary transactions of business, to utter as money or otherwise circulate the same."

COUNTERFEITS.-Within the last two years the newspapers of all parts of the United States have furnished abundant evidence of the immense increase of forgery. During the period of the suspension of specie payments, not only were the small notes or tickets counterfeited to a vast extent, but even bank notes, of every description and size, are advertised almost daily.

THE SUB-TREASURY SYSTEM.-As the president has repeated in his late annual message his recommendation of the divorce of bank and state, and as that measure will most probably be again discussed by congress, as a leading topic, we have thought it might be useful, as a matter of reference, to quote the proceedings of the house of representatives in 1834 and 1835, in reference to this same subject, from which it will be seen that the great political parties have both changed sides.

THE MONEY MARKET.-Very little change has taken place within the last two weeks in the money markets of Philadelphia and New York. A great pressure for money still exists, but there have been no failures, which argues strongly in favour of the stability of our mercantile houses.

The present number completes the Register. The two volumes contain as much printed matter as is contained in five octavo volumes of the usual size, and will be found serviceable for reference, as comprising the history of the late money crisis. Copies of the work may be obtained, half bound, of Adam Waldie, the publisher, and of Carey & Hart, and Kay & Brother, booksellers, Philadelphia, at $5.50.

To prevent the abatement of suits and actions now pending, in which the late Bank of the United States may be a party, 408.
