7T arTborottgl), FRIDAY, MAY 30, 1828. Congress. Both Houses adjourned on Monday last, after a session of near ly six months. A number of the mem bers from the South have already passed through this place on their return home. We shall probably be enabled to give a condensed view of their principal pro ceedings in our next paper. The nose-pulling Affair. The ma jority and minority of the Committee appointed by Congress to investigate the affair between Russel Jarvis and the Pre sident's Private Secretary, have made separate reports: the majority coming to the conclusion, that although the assault "was a violation of privilege, which merits the censure of Hie House ;f yet, "it is not expedient to have any further proceedings in this case." The minori ty concurred with the majority, "in the expression of their disapprobation of the assault, in reference to the time when and the place where it was committed;" but questioned the competency of the House to punish Mr. Jarvis for the as sault. Both reports were ordered to lie on the table. The following extract from the report of the majority, shows that the provocation was not only of an aggravated nature, but was also given at a time when and a place where such itv. and it seems that Mr. Jarvis acted throughout the wnoic oi uiu transaction, under the same im pression. Oh the: contrary, it is stated by Mr. Adams and Mr. Stetson, that Mr. Adams did not use that offensive language rela tive to Mr. Jarvis, with a view of injuring the feeling of the ladies who accompanied him, nor, in deed with a knowledge that it was overheard by them. The fact, however, appears to be indisputa ble, that so much of the language was heard by Mrs. Cordis and Mr. Dexter, as induced the party, and particularly the female friends who accompanied Mr. Jarvis, to leave the President's House as soon as possible, under the idea that they had been insulted." Jackson Electors. The whole of the Electoral Districts have not yet been officially heard from by the Central Committee at Raleigh, and hence the names of the Elec tors nominated on the Jackson Ticket have not been published. It is expected that the list will be completed in a short time, when the Central Committee will pub Donnell presiding, negroes Joe, the property ui im. v,v,ib and Molly, the property ui mi. nnnran Lon?. were tried, the first Mrs. Long.

"The President and Directors attended the Icvce under his pro-'have determined to circumscribe tection. "Mr. Adams submitted a coun ter statement, differing in several the extent of their business, by calling in gradually a portion - of their outstanding debt by decli particulars from that contained in,111" fr the present, to make any the letter of Mr. Jarvis, and seve- new loans on accommodation pa rol witnesses were, therefore, exa- PS and thus curtail the amount mined, with the view of ascertain ing the true character of the oc currence at the levee of the Pre sident. The committee believe it is not difficult to reconcile the apparent contradiction in the tes timony of the several witnesses, relative to tins branch of the case. The material facts can be satis factorily made out, without invol ving any imputation upon the ve racity of the witnesses. It is pro ved, by those on both sitles, and indeed by the admission of Mr. Adams, that he did use language calculated, if overheard, .to insult Mr. Jarvis. "It is also proved, to the satis faction of the committee, that Mrs. Cordis, the mother of Mrs. Jarvis, was very near to Mr. Ad ams when he made use of the of fensive language, and that she as well as other persons of the party who accompanied Mr. Jarvis, heard it with some distinctness. It also appears that the ladies who accompanied Mr. Jarvis interpre ted the language of Mr. Adams as an insult offered to the whole par- of their notes in circulation. "The better to effect this ob ject, and to sustain the credit of the Bank, they have determined to make no dividend of the profits for the last six months, but make use of them, with such other means as they can command, for procuring such available funds as shall, in future, enable them to meet more promptly, demands which may be made upon the Institution." Banking. The Pennsylvania Gazette mentions, on the authori ty of a friend acquainted with the fact, that there never has been a failure at Bridgeport, Connecti cut. The bank at that place has, for the last twenty years, never changed its President nor its po licy. It discounts all the business paper of the town, but has never discounted an accommodation note. Gazette. Capital conviction. At the Su perior Court for Cabarrus county, held in Concord; last week, Judge taken place in the price of Cotton, has the following remarks: "The Southern Planter wil smile at the prospect of getting some return for his produce. The Southern merchant will be twice blessed, once in being able to receive, and once in being able to pay debts, and a new life and vigor will be diffused through our manufacturing establishments, for low prices are destructive to all while medium rates will give living to all, and insure a brisker trade. We cannot stop here, for we believe that activity in any one great staple will diffuse its influ ence to others, and thus create what all desire, a more satisfac tory state of affairs.
