Stormy Debates in Lhe Frtnch Chcmber cf) Ueyuua ' Such is the hadtr. given by the N.

Presumptive, and then departed; that the "nobiiity and gentry" soon thronged to the Palace to make "their dutiful inquiries;" that throughout Un day and evening Her IMajestyand the inf; tit Princess !were "goii.g n lavorably;" and that the intelligence of ier majesty's ar ccuchmcnt and the birth ol Princess Royal inroad like wilJdre through ih metropolis," mid soon brought a preltj 'all crowd to the g ilvs of Rockingham Palace. The Banking institutions whose failures are -noticed, are those of Wright fc Co., Sawden. Mrs. Drewy, Penrith, and the Guilford Bank. The failure of the. first institution is represented to have Wen caused by injudicious speculations and loans, without the knowedge ol -ihe firm by the principal partner. I's cash and available aeU are stated at 500,000. while its liabilities are supposed to be between 800,000 and 900,000. "it was feared that great dUtrtsj would follow the -failure off Mrs 'Drewy' house, as it was the "Savings Bank of that place. Suspicion-i of the soundness cf the Guilfoid Bank were first occasioned by the suicide of Mr William Spark, the principal partner and manager. het an investigation took place, and it wa--discotered to be in a truly bad condition Before destroying himself, Mr Sparks had destroyed a portion of the papers of the B.inkso that a full knowMge of its affairs couIJ not 'be easily obtained. As far as the investiga tion has pro ed-d, it was found that the to4 . lit i-i- .1 .1 I .... nuMium ui uv rsin .e oi me deceased was 8,372, and the curides, cash, &c. due to me nank, was jtI23,100, making a total of ,OT,77;J; while the only liabilities that could oe ascertained amounted to 184,000, but the whole were believed greatly to exceed that amount. On the 21 December, an ungainly vouth. 'aged about 17 years, was found secreted under a tf in the Queen's drssing room, Buckingham Pulace. He wai the son of a poor bailor in Derby etreel, Westminister, and after examination was sent to the House of Correction, Cold bath Field, there to be kept at hard labor for three months.

Mr Test' resolution came up in the forenoon, and the discussion was continued by Messrs Fllintt, Arion, Ewing,and others. In the House, business thus far ha been much more advanced and a greater amount fully acted upon, than at any session for year past. This is more attributable to ihe inflexible adherence, of the Speaker, of the House, by which every thing is done in order, and each respective portion of business ha a regular share of time allotted for its considertion. On Dec. 23d, considerable discussion arose upon a motion of Mr Smith of 1, to amend a bill extending the time of payment to the borrowers of Ihe college, saline nnd surplus revenue funds, to that loans now secured by personal security, shall be secured by real estate, before borrowers shall be entitled to the benefits of said act. The necessity for such provision was urged, in consideration of the large amounts already lost by the insolvency of borrowers and their serurities, and the great insecurity of those funds from the fluctuations in personal responsibilities. It was opposed on the ground that it woul l operate very oppressively on present borrowers, and place the funds entirely in the hands of land holders, to the exclusion of the honest but poorer kclae of community. The amendment was, however, adopted. Mr Chapman from the committee of Federal Relations reported a Joint Resolution instructing our Senators nnd Representatives in Congress to vote for repeal of the tub-treasury law past at the last session. Oa the 24th, Mr Jenckes. from the committee on Way s and Means reported a bill authonzeing the State Bank to iuc one million of dollai in note of ihe different denominations of $ I's, $2'i and $3'. which are to be kept in circulation for three years from the first of January next. The nerolexin? question of apportioning the Senators and Representatives in this state, agreeably lo the constitutional provision, t ame before the House on yesterday on a motion lo instruct the select committee annninled iinnn H.t subject. The several motion to fix the num ber ol Senators at forlv.

It Uvtry uncertain, a the matter now stands, what will be the ultimate action of the House upon it. Mr Sweetser. from the Judiciaiy committee, made a report upon the charges preferred I by, II. Chase against John W Wright Judge oft he 8th circuit, and concluded with expressing the opinion that article of impeachmii oughl not to be preferied against said Wright; which report was concurred in by the House.
