Including them, the Whigs have 68—a majority sf two, which, with the majority of two m the Senate, gives the Whigs the confetti of both bodies, and a majority of at least 4 on joint ballot It is possible, and indeed probable, that this majority will ho increased hy oilier counties.

Ono of them was sentenced to the penitentiary for ninety and the other for forty years! Tho New York correspondent of the National Intelligencer, under date of the Ist, says:— The influx of strangers here for the purchase of goods lias made money quite abundant; every stranger coming here adding something to the common stock. It is a long time since there has been specie shipped to Europe, and upon private and public account for the month of April the amount has fallen short of $100,00(1. The si ip merit of a million and a half a month has boon, within the year past, even a matter of common occurrence. The steamer Great Wosteru departs to-day with \ more than one hundred passengers. She leaves | us with a rich freight in passengers and corrc.:- j pondenco, but with no specie. The business I done in sterling hills for the Great Western and the Columbia has not been large. The rates j established on England were IDtJj for city, and ; lOC j for Southern. On Paris, hills were drawn at 5.37 a 5.37 J. The Western goes to Bristol; the Columbia, which leaves Boston, to Liver pool. I sec, from what I judge to he authentic state ments in the European papers, that France has run up a debt of about 290.000,000 dollars in her late, flurry with Great Britain, including about 531 000,000 francs for public woiks—that is, to fortify Paris. 1 have thought this a fact impor tant to American Legislates; for, as the French | Government has got to provide for this debt in the money markets of Europe, our State stocks will have a powerful competitor as a borrower therc.

Captain Pitcher of the s'eamer /ns. going „p the St. Johns at the time, Halos that the air was lull ol dust, which glowing i„ ,h c lun , produced tho appearance of fire in the woods on both .ides of the river, Fiomtne Ueorq ia Journal. t he Bunks. Our readers will find below a very sensible ar ticle —in relation to the chartered Institutions of our State, that I ave suspended specie payments —which we copy from the Columbus Enquirer, of Wednesday last, 't he views taken by the Ed itor of that paper are perfectly conect. the suspended Banks are not acting in good faith to I lie people when they make no erection, either at home or abroad, to' prevent the vciy exorbitant shave which the people have to submit to, to re alize specie value for their promises to pay. At 'll ir very do ns, they seethe merchant and others who are compelled at any sacrifice to pay their foieign debt selling their bills at from 1C to SO per ccnl discount—and yet, while they make no exertion to prevent aueh sacrifices on the pa t ol those who are unfortunate enough to hold theii hills, as such exertions, if successful, would lie at tended with a loss, probanly, of 8,3, A, or 5 per cent, they witn great equanimity ask forbearance at the hands of the people, while, with the most heartless indifference, they view the distress which their own failure, to meet their own cn isogemenls, priduces on every aide. If such a state of things is to continue, the quicker these Banks are out of the catalogue, the better. The promise In pay of most of them are now « mere drug; and those who have the management of them in hand, seem to care but little who suffers, so that the Institutions over which they preside, are suffering no loss. All ol this the pen; |e must bear. They must submit to a dead loss of 15 or 20 per cent, and to all die bad consequences at tendant upon a depreciated currency, but the Banka—who arc at least as much to blame for is suing irre eomable paper, as the community is for receiving it—are to bo sustained forsooth!! The penalties of ihc law arc not to be indicted upon them I!! Well, we shall see. How long the people will submit to all this, time will show. Bm rather than the present slate of things should continue, wo would urge upon the really suffer inn parly, to see that the laws of the land be I enforced, so that strict justice may be dealt out to all. The article of the Enquirer is so much to the purpose, that wo ogam call the attention of the reader to it. Such plain unvarnished statements, are well calculated to have effect, if not upon the banks, at least upon those who claim still to be the sovereignly, and, who in the exercise of their attributes, may yet teach the banks a useful les son. The Basks.—The sufferings of the people generally, and of the Merchants particularly, on account of the enormous rales of exchange de manded for Northern funds, are becoming in tolerable. A wretched state of affairs, is upon us. Wc cannot procure the wherewith to pay an engagement at the East or North, wilhoin paying therefor a rale of premium absolutely ruinous The subject of the Exchanges is in every man's mouth, and the anathemas of the peopie arc poured profusely upon the heads ol ihose who are supposed to have contributed In produce the present derangement. No class ol our citizens is more lavishly censured than those who preside over our banking institutions. Not even tShylock himself, with his grinding visage ol usury seems for the present to bo looked upon with more apprehension than those who control these establishments—and for the simple reason, that the Impression prevails universally, that th, y have willingly contributed to bring upon the com munity the present exorbitant system of ex change. Whether this impression he correct or incorrect, we are not competent to deride. It seems, however, to our minds very clear, that the Banks have failed to fulfil the reasonable antici pations of their friends in this matter, and are not altogether without fault. While ihry paid specie, exchanges were hut a trill - above oar. and they were competent to furnish them at these low ra es, for their own bills As soon, however, as Ihc specie payments were suspended, exchange rose immediately to an enormous role, and can now be had only at fifteen to seventeen or eigh teen per coni, for these same bills. Wny is this 1 A-e not the banks bound by every consideration of j rsiico and honor to hold up their b 11s to a specie value I If they cannot nay the actual specie itself—and we admit they cannot, and have sustained the suspension—might they not, ought they not at least to effect such arrangements North ami East as would enable them to furnish I lbs exchanges actually necessary in our ordinary transactions—taking their own bibs at specie value I To us it seems clear lhaf this is one ul ihc moral obligations attending their cicnrion, which they cannot throw off without a most pow erful pallialory excuse. The consideration that its fulfilment exposes them to a loss--even to a heavy pecuniary loss—deserves no weight as an i excuse. If by improvidence, or even by mis | guided generosity, they have placed themselves I in a situation that renders their business unprefi j table, still they may not honorably extricate j themselves, and continue their proliis by a resort ' to means violative of a high moral obligation, j These thoughts are surges cd in no spirit of j hostility to the Banks. Ou' readers—the Banks t themselves will hear ns testimony that wo have advocated and defended them, on all proper occa- I skins, from the senseless attacks of locofocoisrn. | Wc shall continue to do so ; hut we are never ; thelcss the guardians of other rights as well as 1 theiis, and it becomes us to speak out in behalf of ! our suffering mercantile interests. Tue present { state of our exchanges is insufferable, and those whose province it is ought to remedy the evil. Correspunder.ee of the Savannah Georgian. Flo mm, May I. As I expected the rumor relative to the disap pearance of Cosatustenuggee, and SO wairiors from Tampa, proves lo he without foundation. The General has about 300 »f the enemy ready for emigration. I have not learned when he purposes to embark them. You are aware that Coacoochee (Wild Cai) consented lo emigrate, and had permission lo be ab.-enl until the sih of May, for the purpose of collecting his people. Ho has sent in eight , f bis warriors to the General to ho retained at? hostages, saying that circumstances have occurred lo prevent his reluming by the specified, day bu' that he will return, and in com pany with his people.

No law i . rhell be passed in any of the said cases, to pardon I or mitigate the sentence of any prisoner convict- ' ed of the crimes just mentioned, within twenty J years from the date of such conviction, and then | such a law must have tne concunence of two- [ thirds of all the members of each branch of the , Legislature.
