The Resolution for sending q commit tee to visit the Bank of the United States, was finally disposed of, in the House of Representatives, at so late an hour on "Wednesday night, that VIC had not time to say q word in our last con. corning it; nor shall NC now say much.

 So far as concerns the Bank, the pas sage of the Resolution cannot have any other than q beneficial effect, fit sAal! appear, as we believe 1t will, that it's affairs have been administered for the public good, and with intents purely honest.

 In so far as the measure concerns the Country, we consider it not merely use- less butinjurious. itis useless, because it was required and supported by those upon whose vote in regard to the Bank, if the committee should find the admin istration of the Bank to have been as pure as white-robcd innocence, their report will not have the smallest inhu- cncc. It is injurious, because of the time it has already been the cause of consuming in unprolitablc Debate, but still moro so because of the time which is to be spent upon the enquiry. The time thus lost is not that of the commit lee merely, but the time of all Congress; ; for 1t is clear ttAat the House of Repre- sentatiVes cannot go on to act upon any question ofimportance in the absence of seven of it's Members by its own order. To do so would be in effect 10 dtsfiu,,- chise seven Congressional districts in re- ference to all such legislation. The eff feet, then, of instituting this enquiry will be, beyond doubt, to prolong the session about the same number of days as are oecupied in the inquisitorial visit of the committee to the Bank. We are not quite sure, indeed, whether it would not be for the public interest for both Houses to adjourn from this day to the 2isf day Of next month. sWHe say ilo- thingofthe expenditure ofpublic money by the prolongation of the session, be- cause it is subordinate consideration, and ought to have no effect as an argu- ment against the investigation, if any ono could predict any benefit whatever to flow from it.

 The friends ofthe Bank ofthe United States will have seen with pleasure that there is clear majority of the House of Representative not determined a. gainst it, though q formidable party op- position has been arrayed against it, i,dd- ding strength to the opposition to it on the grounds of either unconstitutionali- ty or inexpediency. The majority in favor of Mir. ADAMS amendment was fourteen votes; and the object and eff feet of that amendment was to contine the enquiry 10 legitimate objects, and ensure Report from the committee in .inc for Congress to act upon the Bank questi,a at the present session. If MT. EVERETT had persisted in his motion to appoint the committee by ballot, that motion too would probably have been carried. Itisnot so important now that it was not, seeing that the committee appointed by the Speaker is very fair onc.--Intelligeneer.
