 WssHlsoToN.--Tne proceedings of Congress are uhtAusl, dull. In the Senate Monday, the 2ndinst., there was lengthy discussion on the con stftntionaity of national bank, originating in the presentafion of the proceedings of meeting in Nir- gihia against that and other whs measures: The fortifcatisn biIl was then amended so as to include

 900 for surveys of the frontier, and 40 1000 for arrearages due for roads, harbors, &e

 In the House an effort made tn take up the Bankrupt bill in preference the Fiscal Bank bill which failed. and the consderalo6 of the latter cuped the House until half past four o'clock, when an adjournment took place.

 The Washington correspondent of the Charleston Courier. says;-"The bankrupt bill is in dan ger. The indications of opinion in regard to il among the whgs are unfavorabe to success One thing certain, that fit does not succeed now never will. It's said that it cannot pass unless a number of the ocos should vote for it-and they, with but exceptions, are hostile to it.''

 In the Washington correspondence of the Journal of Commerce. we find couple of paragraphs, rather interesting in relation the Fiscal Bank, it has passed the Senate Our own opinion is, that the House will restore the charter essentially the shape in lation to the Hbranching power,'' in which it was offered by Mir. Ewing. In addition to Mir. Rives s opinion, as given by the Journal, it may also be ted that MT. Benton said in his place, that 'the Su- preme Court would reverse their former decision in this subject He would undertake to go with writ into Court for this purpose, and return with reyar- sal as soon the papers could be read.' s,1

 The statements ofthe Journal are as folows:-

 The Fiscal Bank Bill having passed the Senate, will probably be taken up for consideration in the House on Saturday or Monday next. It will occu- py the House but few days-certainly not more than week. It has passed the Senate-it uaL pass the House; but will it pass the White House! That is the question. Every one is inquiring and specu- ating upon this point. Many presume, and some sert, that the President will sign the bill in its pres ent form, without hesitation. But others again lecture, from his general opinions the subject, that he cannot sign it. Some indeed go so far as to say that this compromise was presented to him several days ago, and that he then repudated and condemn ed it as objectionable than the bill as originally reported by Mir. Clay If he would sign Mr. Clay's original bill, he will certainly sign this But if not, not.

 But another difficulty awaits the bill when enacted. The Supreme Court, at present constituted, will reverse the decision by the Court hereto- fore, in support of the power of the government to establishes branches in State, without its consent. Mir. Ryes stated yesterday very confidently, that the present Court will reverse this opinion. In that case, the Bank, if it goes on at a it will soon be brought back, in practice, to Mir. Tyler's original plan
