Wp must be permitted to congratulate the coun
try, that the Pna*i»t*T has*o far adopted the De
mocratic principle a* to recommend nothing in the
shape of a corporation—nothing which, under the
disguise of a contract with individuals, assumes to
charter away the Government, and the right* of the
people as secured hy the Constitution. In thi* re
spect, Mr. Tyler ha* made good hi* stand against
the encroachment* which hi* vetoc* nrre*ted; and
for this he has at least our hearty thank*.
But tits plan of a Government paper currency—
of Government dealing in exchange through a
board of control—and of receiving depositee nnd
emitting certificates on them to circulate also a* a
currency, however convenient in many respects,
we apprehend will not meet the sanction of Con
gress or tho country. Whenever Government*,
whether monarchical or republican, hnvc under
taken to make any "by authority" substitute for the
money of tho world, il ha* hitherto proved n failure;
and the failure Iw* ever been llio worse where it
lia* endeavored to add to il* function* thnt of a
merchant, dealer in cxcliange, or hanker.
A paper currency, hulled hy a 8tntc, ho* never
yet succeeded. It invariably increase* in amount,
until, whatever may he the confidence in tho abili
ty aud fidelity of tho Government, the excessive
quantity cheapens it, nnd make* an incalculable
change in the prices ofnll commodities. The stan
dnrd of value i* utterly lost sight of in the constant
depreciation of the paper medium of exchange,
and tho whole business of society is converted into
a speculation upon the quantity of money which
the influence* brought to hear upon Legislative
power mny induce it to i**ne. And there is no
such thing a* setting hound* to these influence*.—
If a war comes, necessity sweep* nil resistance.—
It is easier to issue paper dollar* than to borrow
—much easier than to lay taxes and collect them.
The universal experience of every Government
issuing paper money pending n wnr, is a downward
progress a* long a* tho money thu* manufactured
will pay for it* manufacture,nnd leave any profit
worth consideration to the Government making
it. It i* then given up, mid perishes in the hand*
of tho people, after inflicting immense injury not
only upon the fortunes, lint the moral* of the com
munity—the holiest mid credulous being the prin
cipal Huflorcra—tho knavish and distrustful being
the only gainer*.
Government paper money is never redeemed af
ter it ha* run its course of depreciation. To tax
thn honest and industrious classes for such n pur
pose would he doubling the wrung perpotruted ou
them, while tho paper currency i* running it* ca
reer. A* long a* it is possible to buy any thing
with it, the products of the fanner, mechanic and
innutifacturernm obtained for it. It undergoes it*
depreciation in passing through the hands of the
community, and tnxc* every man who touche* it
and give* any thing of intrinsic valuo for it. After
it has passed the period of circulation, it is found
in the hand* of the gambling speculating cIiumos,
who obtain it for little or nothing. If when a thou
sand dollar* of thi* money, which hns gradually
taxed the wliolo community, until it hn* fallen to
tho value of n*ingle dollar—the price at which tho
speculator buy* it—were paid in npecio hy the
Government, dollar for dollar, it would require u
tax to ho levied ou that very portion of the people
which ha* beeu already taxed by giving their com-
moditic* for it, while undergoing its progressive
depreciation.
This notorious truth ha* always prevented Gov
ernment* from redeeming their exhausted paper
currency. It is considered a* having operated a*
an indirect tax on ovory body, and the Government
dare not levy a new tax to make it good, dollar for
dollar, ou tho head* of those who have borne the
greatest shnre of tho tux in thu first instance.
A paper money system uot driven ou hy a war,
nlthough uot so rapidly, not less surely run* into
excesses. President Tyler “ propose* to limit tho
issue* to an amount not lo exceed fifteen millions
of dollars, without tho express sanction of the Le
gislative power." Well, how long would it bo
before the multitude of appropriation* which the
log rolling interest* of Congress always possess
tho power In raise up, would demand an increase
of another fifteen millions. When theso npprnpnin-
tion* nro to ho provided for, not hy taxes hut by
pnpor money, mndo by tho machine of the fiscal
department, hu* not all exporienye shown that they
nru voted without stint ?
Among us there is reason to apprehend dint
thoro would he a race among tho Slates, whenever
the nppinprialinn* Imd been begun to accomplish
objects of peculiar interest to a portion of them, to
try their strength nnd nctivily to see which could get
most. What with the pressure of tho Representa
tive* of State* in Congress to roconuuend them-
selves hy druwing to euch tho greatest share of the
appropriations, and tho universal activity of tho
debtor nnd speculating classes to make money
plenty—to cheapen it—so ns to relieve them from
difficulties, no one can doubt thnt, in a fmv years,
all prudent resolutions in Congress, about the lim
itation of issues would be broken, and tho propos
ed system led Into the downward career, which ha*
everattonded nil such systems. Nothing but n con
stitutional limitation, fenced about with onths and
every other sanction that could bo devised, would
ever keep tho isme* of the paper money within any
given limitation. It i* questionable whether inge
nuity conld devise any constitutional provision on
tho subject, that could not bo avoided; such is
the efficacy of money in warpiug tho consciences
of men.
Tho fato of our continental money cannot bo
forgotten. Tho fate of our Treasury Notes during
the last war, though issued comparatively to a very
small amount, (tho resources of the country con
sidered,) is not a less impressive warning against
entering upon another pnpor money experiment.
Tho Treasury note* of tho last war, although not
issued a* a currency, and therefore not subjected to
tho severest test of publio confidence, yet went
down 20 or 30 per cent below the paper of sus
pended banks. If these Treasury notes had been
really put out as a currency instead of obligations
for an indirect loau, they would have depreciated
much more; for when a Democratic Government
has once taxed the people w ith a depreciated cur
rency, it i* hard to get the people, who must vote
tiie taxes to redeem it, to put the imposition on
themselves, to make good the paper in the hands of
■peculators who have obtained it for little or noth
ing. The first tax they pay without rebelling, be
cause it goes to the Gorenment; the second tax, to
make flic bad paper good again, is for the benefit
of the speculator, and is obtained, if at all, with
difficulty. The knowledge of this state of thiugs
must always render a paper currency, issued on
the authority of a popular Government, rapid and
nnresistiblc. In monarchies and aristocracies, it
is to some extent otherwise, for there tho classes
that bold the securities of Government, are them
selves the Legislator* who impose the taxes. This
is the reason that the exceasivt public debt is sus
tained. Itisinthe hands of those who vote the
taxes to pay tho interest. If this debt consisted
of depreciated paper in the hands of speculators of
the inferior classes, it would never he paid.
From ih# New-Ortsani Bse, M test
Moling and .Harder.
The following me the particulars of a shocking
and horrible revolt ut sea, by a number of slaves.
They are confirmed by a letter from the comman
der of the vessel ou board of which the slaves were
embarked.
The brig Creole, Capt. Emon, of Richmond,
hound for New-Orlesn* with a cargo of tobacco,
one hundred and thirty-five slaves nnd four or five
passengers, was on the 7th ult., taken possession
of hy the slaves, who rose nnd mutinied, killing
and wounding several white persons. It appear*
that on the 7th nit. at 8 P. 51. the brig was hove to
in the belief that she wo* approaching Abnco. The
next day, after the passengers and crew not on du
ty had retired, at about half pad U P. 51., tin. slave*
mutinied and murdered a passenger named Hcwell
owner of n portion of the slave*, hy stabbing him
with a bawie knife. They wounded the captain
and one of the hand* dangerously, the chief mote
ond another oflho hand* severely. But little de
fence could hu made, a* the victims were totally un
prepared for an attack, and Imd hut one musket on
board, *v bile the slave* were armed with pistol*,
knives, ami bludgeon* made hy cutting up hand
spike*. There i* reason to believe, that the whole
plot w.is arranged before they left Richmond.
Having obtained possession of thu vowel, they
broke open the trunk* and ran-nckcd tin- whole
cargo. They spared the lives ol tlic mate, passen
gers, and apart of the crew, on condition they
should be taken immediately to Abaco, un English
island. Forced to obey, the crew set sail and ar
rived at Nassau, N. P.,on theUih tilt. On lotiding
the American Consul had the captain and two of
the ino immediately taken on shore and their
wounds dressed, while every attention was paid to
tho wounded on board. The Consul likewise re
quested the Governor of N. Providence to place a
guard on hoard to prevent the sluve* from going
ashore, os he well knew that if thi* were not done,
it would bo impoMildeto secure the guilty perpetra
tor* of the murder.
The request of the Consul was granted, and nn
investigation of the affair was conducted by two
magistrate* of Nassau. The enptnin also took the
testimony of tho passenger* ami crew. Nineteen
slaves were identified as having participated in the
mutiny and murder. They were placed in con
finement until further orders, the Governor refu
sing to have them seut to Ameriea under the cir
cumstance*. The remainder were liberated by
Her Majesty's authorities, on the ground lliut the
slaves must be considered and treated ns passen
gers, having the right to land in bouts from the
slioro whenever they thought pioper. The cap
tain is doing well, and will probably recover.
Thu reliinal of the Briti-li authorities to deliver
the wretches implicated in thi* atrocious transac
tion, to the jurisdiction of the country in which
they nro held a* slaves,add* another item to the dark
critnlonge of outrage* upon American right* com
mitted hy tho English Government. It will, we
trust, form an important feature in tlicdclibcratioi,*
of Congress on the subject of the grievances which
American property and American citizens have
sntfered thro ugh the nrognuce and despotism of the
minion* of the British crown.
Fire in Jefferson.—We regret to lenrn by a letter
from the Post Master at Jeflerson, Jackson county,
that the Tavern owned and occupied hy Maj. Geo.
W. Shaw at that place, was consumed hy fire nn
Sunday last, thn 5th inst. The fire originated in
the roof, from the sparks from the chimney falling
upon it; and caused the destruction, not only of the

also. Most of the furniture was saved, but the
loss'i* great, and will fall very heavily upon the

Remarks in tho Senate, Tuesday, December 7,
1841, on tho motion of Air. Smith, of Indiunu, to
print, for the use of llio Sunato, 1,500 copies oftho
Message, with the accompanying documents, and
3,500 without tho documents.
Air. Benton observed that ho could not recon
cile it to hiimclfto let the resolution pnsa without
making a few remark* on that part of the message
which related to the new Fiscal Agent. Looking
at that feature of it, as read, ho perceived that tho
President gave un outline of Ilia plan, leaving it to
tlm Secretary of the Tieasury to liiruish the details
iti his rcpuit. He (Mr. Uciitou) apprehended that
nothing in those do,ails could reconcile him to the
project, or in any manner met his anproliation.
Thoro were two main points presented mtlio plan
to which he never could agree—both being Wi.olly
unconstitutional mid dangerous. One was that of
and this mokes it act directly through a Board of
Treasury Directors aud their agents.
This is the first time that a formal proposition
has been made to change our hard money Cover-
iiietit (u* it wa* intended to he) into a paper money
machine; audit is the first time that there has been
u propo>al to mix it un with trade and commerce,
hy making it a furnisher of exchanges, a bank of
neposite, a furnisher of paper currency, and an
imitator of the old Confederation in its continental
hills and a copyist of the English exchequer system.
Being the first time these unconstitutional and per
nicious schemes were formally presented to Con
gress, he felt it to be bis duty to disclose his opposi
tion to them at once. Ho would soon speak more
fully.

RULES AND ORDERS.
On motion of Mr. W. C. Johuson, the House
took up the proposition submitted by him yester
day, in relation to the rules ond orders of the House
(und which is in the following words :
"Besotted, That the rule* nnd orders of the 26th
Congress, as they were At the close of the said Con
gress, he the rule* mid orders of this Congress, un
til others uro udopted."
The Spenker said he had understood the gen
tleman from North Cnrolina (Air. Stanly) as with
drawing hi* motion for thu previous question.
Mr. W. C. Johnson renewed it, remarking that
if the House w*s disposed to organize, it had it in
it* power to do *o in fifteen minutes or half nn
hour from this time. It could have rules hy which
to govern it* proceedings until the requisite modi
fications should lie made; mid he, for one, was
willing that the consideration oftho whole subject
should be taken up as soon as possible.
Mr. Fillmore suggested to Air. J. so to modify
hi* resolution asto limit the timu during which tho
rule* of the last Congress should be adopted, and
to provide for taking lip for consideration the re
port of the Select Committee on the rule*. If tho
rules of the 26th Congress were adopted without
modification for on indefinite time, tho modifica
tion requ red never would bo made.
Air. Johnson replied to this suggestion that, if
hi* resolution wa* adopted, ho would then vote to
take up instnntcr the consideration of the report
of the Select Committee on the Rule*. But he
was not willing to specify any particular time to
which the operation of tfio rules of the 2Glh Con
gress should he limited, because it would lead to
discussion nnd create delay. It would be better to
have a complete set of rule* at once, nnd then pro
ceed to modify them.
But, after a remark from Mr. Fillmore, Air.
Johnson modified bis proposition to reud u* fol
low*: a
Rtsolre/l, That tho rules nnd order* of the 26th
Congres*, as they were at tile close of said Con
gress, be the rules and order* of this Congress un
till oilier* are adopted; and the report made hy the
Committee on Rules at the last session be the spe
cial order of the duy for Thursday next, and each
succeeding day until disposed of.
Some conversation took place between Alessrs.
Adams, Stanley, Proffil. nnd the Speaker, in rela
tion lo the decision of the Speaker yesterday a* to
the peculiar application of the previous question
under the Parliamentary law, and there appeared
to ho much misconception ou the subject. The
conversation, however, wa* very indistinctly heard
by the reporter.
Air. John Campbell, (prefacingthe motion with
a remark not heard by llio reporter) moved that
the House do now adjourn.
Air. Stanly asked the yea* and nays; which were
ordered.
Air. Campbell withdrew the motion.
And the question recurring on the motion of
Mr. W. C. Johnson for thu previous question—
The main question, (being on tho adoption of
the resolution,) by nyes 101, uoc* not counted,
wa* ordered.
Air. Fillinoro asked tho yens and nay* on the
main question, which were ordered.
Air. Slade submitted to tho Spenker that the
question on seconding tho domain!for thu previous
question h«*d not boon put.
The Spenker said it was not required under the
Parliamentary law.
The question was then taken nml decided in the
affirmative, ns follows:

Ileary IVWirf.—In Um Circuit Court or the U.
States on Monday morning, says tho Philadelphia
Chronicle, the jonr in the ease of the U- States
vs. James A. Reeskle, gave» wdict in Dior of
Mr. Reeewle (hr tho sum of one* hundred and
eighty-right thousand four hundred atul ninety-six
dollars and six rents We believe that tii« rendi
tion of the above verdict is not only in accordance
with tint (acta, but it is a popular art of justice,
which tho worthy defendant k fully entitled to.
menl to deal in exchanges. The proposition to is
sue hill* ofcmhl, when under consideration at tlm
formation of the constitution, ivu* struck out with
the express view of making thi* Goveinmctit u
hard money Government—not capable of recog
nising any other than a specie currency—a curren
cy of gold aud silver—a currency known und valu
ed, and equally understood hy every one. But
hero is a. proposition to do whut wa* expressly re
fused to hu allowed hy tho framers oftho Consti
tution—to exercise a power not only uot granted
to Congress, but a power expressly denied. The
next proposition is to authorize tho Federal Go
vernment to deal in und regulate exchanges, and
to fnrnish exchuiigo to merchants. This is u new
invention—a modern idea oflho power of this Go
vernment, invented hy Air. Biddle, to help out a
National Bank. .Much as Gen. Hamilton was in
favour of paper money, he never wont the length
of recommending Government hills of credit, or
dealingsin exchange by tho United States Treasury.
The fathers of the church, Alncon, and John Ran
dolph, nnd others, called tins a hard money Govern
ment: they objected to bank paper; hut here is
Government paper; and thnt goes beyond Hamil
ton, much n* lie was in favor of the paper system.
Tho whole scheme milking this Government a reg
ulator of exchange—a dealer in exchange—a fur
nisher of exchange—is absurd, unconstitutional,
and pernicious, nnd is a new thing under the sun.
Now he.(Air. Benton) objected to tins Govern
ment becoming a seller of exchange to the coun
try, for which there is no more authority than (hero
i»for its furnishing transput tatian of goods or coun
try produce. There is not n word in the Constitu
tion to authorize it—not a-word to lie found justify
ing the assumption. The word exchange is not in
the Constitution. Wlint does this niessagu pro
pose? Congress is called upon to to establish a
Board with agencies, for the purpose of furnishing
tho country with exchanges. Why sliouldnniCon-
gross be also called oil to ftirnisli that portion of
the community engaged in commerce with facilities
for transporting merchandise? The proposition
is one of the most pernicious nature, aud such as
must loud to tho most dangerous consequences if
adopted.
Tho British debt begun in the time ofSir Ro
bert Walpole, on issues of exchequer hills—by
which system the British nation has been cheated,
and plunged irretrievably iu debt to the amount of
nine hundred millions of pounds The proposi
tion that the Government should become the issuer
of cxc equer notes, is one borrowed from the
system introduced in England by Sir Robert Will-
pule, whose Whig administration was nothing but
a high Tory administration of Queen Anne. He
(Mr. Benton) had uitirb to say on this subject, but
this was not the time for entering at large into it.
Thi* perhaps was not tho proper occasion to say
more; nor would it, he (Air. Benton.) considered,
be treating the President oftho United States with
proper respect to enter into a premature discus
sion. He (Air. Benton)could nut, however, iu
justice to himself, allow this resolntion lo pass with
out stating his objections to two such obnoxious
features ol thc proposed tiscality, looking, as he
said, upon tho whole thing as s one calculated to
destroy the whole structure of the Government, to
change it from the hard money it wus intended to
be, t6 the paper money Government it was intend
ed not tu he, and to mix it tip with trade, which no
one ever dreamed of. He (Alt Benton) had on
another occasion stated that thi* administration
would go bock not only to the Federal times of *87
but to the times of Sir Robert Wulpole and
Queen Anne, aud the evidence is now before us.
He (Air. Benton) had only said a few words on
llil« occasion, because he could not let the proposi
tion to sanction bills of credit go without taking
the very earliest opportunity of expressing his dis
approbation, und denouncing a system calculated
to produce the same results which had raised the
umumltfd debt of Great Britain from twenty-one
millions to nine hundred million* of pound*. U*
should avail bim»e!f of die first appropriate oppor
tunity to maintain the grouud he bud tusiiipedM ut
the identity of this policy wi'h that of Watpofo, by
argil menl and references, tint this plan of the Presi
dent'* was utterly imcoristiiutionaJ and dangerous
—part borrow rd from the system of EnglUi Ex
chequer issues, and part from Mr. Ukldie's scheme
of making the Federal Government on exchange
dealer—though Mr. Biddle mad* the Government
act indiractly through a board of bank directors,
Charge of Embedment.—On Friday, officers
C F. Hays and Huthwaite, arrested Mr. James
Andrews, merchant, of No. 163 Greenwich street,
on a charge of having embezzled $9-0 of the lulls
of the Delaw are Bank of Delhi, delivered to him
hy John B. Fry of Washington City, on the 89th
nl'Februnry lust, to be deposited in the American
Exchange Bnnk of this city. From the revernl ui:
fid ii'its. we deduce the fncts that Mr. G. il. Shaw
on the 17th or February last delivered at Delhi to
Mr. J. B. Fry, whom he knew, tho packnge or
$050 of Delaware hills to deposit in the American
Exchange Bank—but thnt on the arrival of Mr.
Fry hither, on Saturday, the 20th February, after
Bank hours, lie took thepnekngeto Air. Andrews,
whom lie knew, and agreed with him to deposit ii,
which Mr. Andrews promised to do, nnd put the
package in his iron sale—Mr. Fry proceeding on
to Washington. The money never having been
deposited, the officers of the Deluwnre Bnnk ad
dressed Air. Fry on the subject, who came on
hither nnd made nn affidavit of his delivery of it to
Air. Andrews, and olso obtained the affidavit of C.
IL Pine, former clerk of Air. Andrews, showing
that Air. Fry had the package in Air. Andrew*
store. On this Air. Andrews, who denies ever
having received the money, was arrested as above
stated, nnd held to bail in $4000, to answer the
complaint against him.—AT. Y. Express.
Burning of the Post Office at Quebec.—On the

Attempt to Bob the Merchants Bank in New-Bed-
ford.—We learn by Col. Hutch, that tho House of
the Cashier, James B. Congdon, Esq. of the Aler-
chant*’ Bank, was entered last evening about 9 o’
clock, nnd die keys of tho Bunk were taken while
the family were sitting, reading, in an adjoiniug
room. The fact was ascertained by the Cashier
about half past ten o’clock, who proceeded imme
diately to tho Bank with officer Russell.
Air, C. on entering the Bank, heard a noise in
the Director's room, to which lie proceeded,where
lie found a man who appeared to he about to leap
from the window. lie cuught him hy the coat, but
he escaped leaving u considerable part of the coat
iu the hands of Alt. C. Air. Congdon wus slightly
wounded in tins hand, cither by glass or a chisel,
which the rogue had und leftbeliiiid. The window
from which Ire leaped and escaped is about ten feet
from the ground. Ho probably entered by the
same window, ns two spars were found ituder it,
which hud evidently been placed against the wall.
Iu the pocket oflho cout was found a gimblet,
aud under the window anew canvas hag, prolubly
intended to curry off the booty. How long tire fellow
hud been iu the Bank is uot known. By appear
ances lie Imd tried the vault, hut could not open it;
as the lock is of apecu iur construction, and defies
ull attempts to open it hy those who are unacquaut-
ed with it, even if they hand tho keys.
A hunch ofinutciius und a six barrel revolving
pistol (every barrel loaded, nnd caps upon them)
were found nenr the window. >

Congress, ns they were nt the close oflho suid con

til others are ndopted; nnd the Report made by tho
Committee on Rules nt the last session be tiie spe

Correspondence of the Charic.ton Mercury.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.
Air. Johnson of Aid. moved that the rules of the
26th Congress be adopted for the government of
the House until otherwise ordered! Air. Adams
rose to offer an amendment, and ns the eyes of the
meinberafell upon the old gentleman,peals of laugh
ter resounded throughout the Hall. Instead of the
bald nml polished occiput, with its scanty fringe of
silver hairs, which hns frequently restrained merri
ment when tho vagaries of the'teeming brain be
neath would otherwise have provoked it, a red cap
presented iL«elf which tiie venerable gentleman hnd
donned for the occasion, and which, as the mirth
grew more uprorions, bobbed about the more vio
lently, ns he with vehement voire and gesticulation
endeavored to make himself heard above the din.
When gravity had been nt length restored, it was
ascertained tn’nt tho honorable member was astride
of his old hobby of abolition. With his cap and
jib clients therefore the old gentleman is a very fair
impersonation of rouoe f.t .torn. His nmeudment
was to except the 21strule, exclndingthe reception
of Abolition petitions. This gave me to a consid-
crablo debate, when Air Stanley moved that the
rules oftiie last session he adopted lor fiftecu days,
nnd moved the previous question. The power to
call the previous question was deputed by Mr.
Adams, bnt the speaker decided against him.
An appeal was taken nnd debated but the Chair
was sustained—ayes 147, nays 17. Air. Stanley’s
amendment was then rejected—aye* 83, nays 66.
Mr. Adam’s amendment was also rejected—aves
84, nays 67.
Singular Pheuomeuon.—The Lcginjton (Ky.)
Intelligencers states that there is a young lady f«v:
mg in that vicinity, fiom whose thumb there have
recently crown hairs, sonfc of them twenty-six
inches iu length. Tho editor says that be has seen
the young lady aud can vouch for the truth oftiie
story. The hairs grow from tiie inner side of the
thumb and sometimes from under the nail: some
of them are soft, others liko brittle* aud they vary
in color, size aud length. The growth is very
rapid. A number of scientific gentiemen have ex-
umined this singular phenomena, but cm give no
explanation of it.
Burnt to death.—On Thursday of Uri week, a
daughter of Mr. Johu Lumpkin, of this place,
about ten ini'ittht of age, crawled into the fire
white iu attends tits were otherwise engaged, and
morning follow.
Bank Defalcation.—Considerable excitement ex'
isted in Suite street, on Saturday, in consequence
of a report that defalcations had been developed in
oue or more of the Banks of this city. It appears,
upon inquiry, that the firm of Geo. F. Cook&
Co. Brokers, doing business between this city und
New York, have litiled—und that they have been
collusively permitted, hy tho Teller of the Eagle
Bank, of this city, to overdraw their account with
that Bank—and that the Teller went so fur as to
certify that certain Chocks drawn by this .inu weio
good, when there were, in Diet no funds at their
credit in the Bnnk to meet them—and that these
checks have been taken us good by other Banks.
It is greatly to be regretted, after the sound and
healthful situation in which the Banks of our city
Imd been placed, that any one of their officers
should have been guilty of so gross a departure
from the path of rectitude—but we are able to
state, that tho amount involved is not sufficient to
create the least alarm i;i the community.
The Eagle Bank has been considered, nnd with
5 ood reason, ns one of the soundest and best con
noted institutions in our city. Its President and
Directors, and its Cashier, are among tiie most res
pected nnd honorable of our citizens. The defici
ency is confined entirely to the accounts of the
Teller, nnd no other officer of the Bunk is in any
way implicated. We are enabled to state, by au
thority upon which we place eutiro reliance, tliut
the loss may be f.om twenty to forty thousand dol
lars, not exceeding the latter sum—uiul llmt it is, by
no means, sufficient to impair tho usefulness or
credit of the Bank, or iu any very essentiul manner
to affect the interests of tiie Stockholders
We ore further informed, thnt fictitious checks to
the amount of $17,000—drawn by the same con
cern, had been received, and are now on bund, ut
the Traders' Bank—and 3000 nt the Globe Bank—
und that they bought a draft on New-York for
$2500 on Friday, at tlm Boston Bank, nnd gave n
check in payment which was not good. This, we
believe, is the extsntof their nefarious transactions.
—Boston Atlas.
Fin in lYanham.—We learn from Mr. Hatch,
that the large nail manufactory in Warolmni.
known ns the Agawam Nail Works, was totally
destroyed by fire on Friday night last. It wus
owned by Samuel T. Tisdule, Esq., of New York,
and cost $50,000. It is uncertain whether it was
insured nr not.—Boston Trauccript.
An editor who has been married about three

In Havre tho inurkct was in llio sumo position as at tha
