From tlte lliirri-tiurg Reporter of Tuesday.
Bank Bill.—The House refused 10 concur (a the
amendments of the Semite to Mr. Peniiiman's hill,
f-*r nn immediate resumption. The vote wa* ttikcii
yesterday and stood 42 to 42. Being n question of
concurrence—n titf-Vote defsuts tbe amendtnrnts.
The state of the hill now is till* $ thu house past
ed it, nnd sent it to tho Senate. Tlm senate se-t it
bark wi.-h nmendment*. which the llonse reject.
It now goes back to the Senate, in which the ques
tion will be to recede from it* amendment*, or in-
*i*t on them. Ifil recede, Mr. l'eanitnan’* bill a*
it first pa-*od the house, will only want the Hover-
mu'* signature to become a law. If the Suture in
sist on its nmondnv nts, a committee of confercncu
will be appointed by ouch hnuse, whoso province it
will lie,' to reconcile the differencial hoi ween the
houses. If they fail to do this, tlte hill is lost.
The cm rv-p.mdent nf ths North American says;
Thu presumption now i», that the Senate will in
sist upon it* amendments, and that a committee of
conference w ill be *pj>- ’i ntmL. which will sreitloupon
n bill that in all probability may be pns-cd.
Tre Speaker explained thu main quo tion to be,
on the original motion of Mr. Snowden, to concur
ia th" Senate am bdmems, and not 0:1 agreeing to
them, as amunded subsequently by the House.

creted a Ge .rgin sltve und to have curried him to

Lumpkin said -lie must ask the ' indulgnco of tire
Senate whila.be made some remarks in reference to
tbe Resolutions. /He wished tu siatethe fact* a*
they exi ted. In May, 1837, a slave was secreted
on board lb'* vrss -I Boston which left Suvunnah for
tlte State of M dne. M« *«r* Phllbrirk oral Ivdleran
ure charged with the art. The Gov.r.'or of Gear-'

thrni delivered. G v Dunlap declined, .ami the
Wgishitlire tffGudrgis udoptrd roh duliuns renewing
the demand fur tho fugitive*. Guv Kent did not
comply with the demand, nor Governor Fairfield
'who succeeded, und the Legislature of Maine ala-
declined to ai t up*m the appRcutiunuf thu Legit'a
into of Georgia, -e -.n
Mr. L. after stating tbe facu.artdreading extracts
applicable tu tbe cate, ftom th*' law* of Georgia and
the Constitution nf ll.eU, S., proceeded. The facts
which he had read to the Semite, lie considered
m 'it impurtuut. an I of a character whchdi'inunJcd
thee dm, candid and p .triotic consideration of every
Senatur. Uue branch of the legislature of Georgia
were fur act'ling tho difficulties •ummarily. and by
•tale interposition only. A majority, however,
were for presenting the s'ibjrat to C./ngress, *ml
the itsolution* which had bean rwrd,wete tha result
of th* lagitUtivedeliberadons.
Mr. Lumpkin said that the stst* of Georgia bad
acted with great forbearance in all that bad been
done on ibis a ihjuct. Ha baltavtNi that thii for-
baaraqe* was in como-quenca uf u proper respect fur
lit* authority of tha Union. Somn ba«J considered

of Heaven upon our vigorous republic, and il* pub*

The orator, Jotttt F.. Warp. F.*q. then rove, and
a brief, but liemitfiil oration, depicted tho
wrongs of Ireland, with tho fidelity of the historical
limner.
Hi* exordium wsa pnrtlctilnrly fine. lie com

can animate man, even in niaturer life—that,''
