DISTRICT BANKS.—In the Senate, on Wednesday, Mr. Tappan inquired of the Chairman of the Committee for the District of Columbia if he was about to make a report in relation to the Banks of the District of Columbia, within a short period, as he had a measure to offer connected with that subject.

Mr. Merrick said he could not say exactly at what time the Committee would be ready report. The matter had been before the Committee. Some of the Banks had asked for a renewal of their charters, and others had not yet done so.

Mr. Tappan then gave notice that he would, some time hence, bring in a bill to regulate the issues of the Banks of the District of Columbia.
