In the Senate, lo day, there was a moat inter

guest ions ol the day. Mr. Sthanue called
the Bill, introduced by Mr. Wnns-rxu, in relation
lo the use ol banks us Depositories, and the re
ceipt ol notes of banka, which tsshe bills of u de
nomination less Ilian live dollars.
Tbo ipiestion being on the adoption of llio bill
proposed by Mr. Peril a.van, us u substitute fur
the original Bill,
Mr. ( 'amiuun rose; and opposed the proposi
tion ol Mr. 13 mi ana n at great length, lie said
lie would not support either the original measure,
or the substitute; but if one of them wan lu bo
passed ho would much prefer Mr. Wiaemai's,
because lie.' responsibility ought to rest on tile ap
position. Another reason was that the substitute
enlarges the discretion of the Executive, and
leaves lire banks without thu restraint of law,
while that ol Mr. Wt.irsi in, though objectionable
to him, in other respects, pu I the hanks under
the control of law; and was therefore preferable.
Mr. (brumex remonstrated earnestly against
‘■rising any intermediate issue; and argued that
the only rudely, for lire Administration was load,
here lo tin; high ground they lnr.l assumed ol a
I), runi ; and that lo lower their position would
be only to distrust lire community.

Mr. ( ivy llien addressed lire Serrate in oppo
sition lo the substitute; and in I,nor of Mr. VVi.it

Mr. Ktuam.k followed with an elaborate
| Speech on the general subject, and expressing
| Iris lonvir (ion that the -mi!) J reasiiry scheme was
lire only measure, which could lie permanently
beneficial, yet said ho would go for Mr. Bi i ma

as a temporary remedy.

[Prom the N. Y. Courier and Enquirer, June 23J :
From the Frontier.
The Commercial Advertiser of buffalo, of the ,
25th instant, stales that on the preceding day I
some twenty live or thirty Seneca Indians, each !
with his rille and blanket, had passed through i
that city. On the forenoon of the 25th, about
twenty more made their appearance, similarly ,
armed. On being questioned whete they wcni
going and what was their business, they answered
that they were going to Grand Island to hunt
deer. i Ins reply not being satisfactory, mca- '
surcs were immediately adopted to induce them I
to return home. Most ol them returned accor
dingly. This movement of the Indians excited a
good deal of curiosity and speculation. Some
suppose that the Canadian authorities finding it
difficult to capture a small hand who have com- ;
nutted some outrages and secreted themselves in
some swamp in the Niagara District, have hired
these Indians to ferret them out and offered a boun
ty lor each scalp they will bring in. Others say
that they have been employed as auxiliaries by
j the I‘alriOiS. At any rate it is stated as beyond
a doubt that the Indians have been furnished with
money to buy rillcs, and have been improperly
tampered with in other respects.
A gentleman who left Chippewa on the 25th,
stated that every thing was apparently tranquil.
Two men who had been engaged in the .affair at.
Short ll’Ms, had been brought in prisoners, and
it was supposed that they would he hung or shot
the following day. The following proclamation
lias been issued by Governor Arthur in conse
quence of the rencontre with the Lancers;

Order, Lieut. Governor of the Province ol lip.
per Canada, Major General commanding Her
Majesty’s Forces therein, &c. &c.
Whereas, on tiro morning of the 31st of this
present month of June, a largo body of armed
men assembled in the township of Pelham, in the
Niagara District, and attacked and plundered a
y house in that neighborhood, of a large sum of mu
tiny, and other property, and fired upon and over
powered a small detachment of the Embodied mi
litia there stationed.
And whereas information hx; boon received by
mo, that certain evil-disposed persons, connected
with the Brigade, who have of late molested and
disturbed the peace of the American and British
frontiers, have crossed the Niagara Uivcr, and
that they lurk and scereto themselves in parts ol
the District of Niagara, with the knowledge and
connivance of some of the disalleeled resident in
habitants.
And whereas it is necessary for the peace and
security of the District of Niagara, that the in
gress and egress ul the idle and evil,minded per
sons should bo restrained and prevented, and that
the perpetrators of the above outrage, and their
aboltois, should bo brought lo condign punish
ment
1 do therefore strictly order and command all
officers, magistrates and others whom it may con
cern, that no person bo permitted lo land upon or
leave the shore on iho Biitish side of the Niagara
Fiver, coming from or going to tbe United States
Tenilory, unless he shall give a full and teasuna*
bio account of himself, and show that he is com
ing or going in the prosecution of his lawful af
fairs anil business, which person shall ho furnish
ed with a passport, to secure him hum further
hindrance or molestation.
And 1 do hereby earnestly call upon all magis<
• r «lcs, officers, and other loyal subjects of the I
Queen, lor their best united exertion in restoring
the peace and tranquility of the Province, in the
prevention of crime and disorder, and in the ap
prehension of the guilty, and 1 assure them ofev
ery support and assistance which may ho required
for these purposes, lo the utmost extent oflho
Civil and Military powers, which Her Majesty
has been pleased lo place in my hands.

The sub-treasury bubble has burst, and the
i anxiety being over, it is already 101 l in tbe mar-
I ket lliul we have gone but a short way in tho rc
-1 storing of the currency. The treasuiy circular
• yet stands in the way oflho western hanks, and
1 the southern hanks have yet to contend with the
ruinous rates of exchange, which is the gical ob
1 slucle to resumption with them. The natural
> course of things in the absence ol the usual trade
lor the last year, has operated to equalize ex
change all over the country by the payments of
’ old balances and ceasing to create new ones, and
> excliaiig •» are now as tegular us they can be tin
> til some national institution can create harmony
■ between the little knots of banks till over the
’ country, and furnish a medium which shall be at
> par iu all sections oflho Union, Them is no
hope of this being affected to produce resumption
> this year. Tho great obstacle to a general re
• sumption, and a consequent revival of trade is
■ not so much the opposition ol the government,
• tor that is now powerless, as the want of a system
i of exchange throughout tho country to moot the
> exigencies ol bade, Ills is the most essential
• point in our country, made up as it is of so mrmv
1 opposite interests which require the agency of a
circulating medium nt different points in differ,

1 he I’hcnix Hank has this day declared a divi
dend of four per cent, for the last six months,
payable on the sth of July.
The Hub Treasury Hill having been defeated,
the Slock Market opened at high prices, which
were by ue means sustained, although llio clo
sing prices wore at a small advance on the close
ol yesterday. United Hiatt's Hank was up J per
cent; Delaware and Hudson showed a rise of
per cent on the close of yesterday. Some other
sales were at an advance of from J a 1 per cent,
over yesterday’s rates. Htoninglon Kail road 3}
percent; Canton Company 2 per cent.
.Honey Market—City News.
Wednesday, P. M.
The public mind is greatly relieved, by the
news from Washington, that the Sub Treasury
is defeated. There is an universal expression of
joy; indeed it is the only topic of conversation ei
ther at the Exchange or in the street. All ap
pear to anticipate better times. Stocks instantly
mounted from one to three per cent; (his, after
all, is the best barometer of the state of tho put),
lie pulse.
Every Jay hag given us t [j; ngg that tho votb
wou|a no as it has since proved; dm] every thing
in the money way has been formerly effected.
Had the majority been reversed, and all the high
expectations of our city disappointed, it would
have been one of the gloomiest days New York
has seen in a long time.
Baltimore Juno 2'J.
Citv Couut—Yesterday morning William
Stewart, —against whom the Grand Jury had pre
viously found a bill of indictment for the murder
ot his father, —was arraigned at tho bar of the
City Court for trial. He pleaded “not guilty,”
but tho trial was deferred in consequence of his
not being prepared for it.— American.
Incendiaries.—Wo hear that some further
arrests have boon made of persons—lads of 17 to
20 years—believed to bo implicated in the lalo
house burnings. An increase of tho rewards of.
sered by llio Mayor and Insurance offices would,
we are satisfied, have the effect of bringing the
leading offenders to Justice.— lb.
Attempt to non A Bank.—A daring hut
unsuccessful attempt was made to rob the Che
mical Hank in H roadway, on Wednesday night
or Thursday morning in tho following manner:
The thieves it appeals first obtained access to tho
cellar under tho banking ioom, by cutting out a
piece in the door largo enough to admit a man’s
hand, and thus shot back tho bolt holding it; ha
ving got into the cellar, a hole was soon cut in
the floor above, through which an entrance to
the banking room was effected. The drawers o(
the paying Teller were buted with a large auger,
but touud to contain nothing, all the money in
the bank with the exception of some kegs of
cents, which were also bored, being secure in tho
safe and vault, tho former of which was also at
tempted, without success. Tho robbers finally 1
decamped, leaving their augers and other instru
ments, as also, a large bag, wbitdi bad probably
been provided lo carry off “the belter currency,”
in the event of their attempt being successful.

arc closely enveloped and scaled, so that what
they contain cannot be known.— Balt, Chron.
Dim, Johnson.—M’Konzio, in his lastGa*
v. Tie, gives tho following account of tins pro
minent individual:
‘•The notorious Dill Johnson” is our inti
mate friend, and bears the character of an
honest, fearless and bravo man. Uc is a
Lower Canadian bj’ birth, brother in law to
Colonel Isaac Fraser, ul'lfppor Canada, Chair
man ol the Kingston Sessions, and, previous
to the war ol IbLJ, was a rich land owner.
I'he vatnpyres ot the Government robbed
him of all—he crossed loThis side, look the

where he has a large and amiable family, into
whose hands wo would trust our life most will

A Dkucatk Hint!—'Lite philosopher is
inimitable in his mode of giving instruction,
yesterday he was trying to sell a cake of per
fumed shaving soap, and a third person step
ped up and interfered in the bargain hv depre
ciating it. Tho philosopher bore it with his
usual meekness lor several minutes, and then
calmly remarked, ’Ltrangt r, I don’t know how
it is up where you got your brouglitcn up, but
in l ho town what 1 coined from there was two
nation smart moil, who tirade considerable of
a fartin just by minding (licit own business.’
Tho crimson sufi’usion that o.cr.-pread the
stranger's countcnnce indicated that the pliif,
osopher’s seasonable advice hud sunk deep
in his heart, lie opened the door, and went
out. and tho philosopher stroked Ins chin
gently.
Lr; Something, —One principle of the
Mussulman creed is that every person, should
have some trade. Thus should it ho the
world over. Ueo that young man no matter
what are his circumstances, ur prospects, if he
lias no plan, he will never accomplish much,
if lie relies upon his present possesson or tip*
on an anticipated lortime ten to one if his
fine hopes are not blighted, and he finds too
laic, that the only path to true greatness is by
application.

O. COSBY’S I)VSCEPTIC BITTKRtT
& .AE fill APS thorn is nollnng more calculated to
k disgust the public oyo than Hie innumerable
lulvc rli.senients ol nostrums that are constantly ap
pearing in llio public prints. All arc ready to ex
claim, our souls are sick, our cars arc pained with
every day’s reports of ills and specifies. This stale
ol the public mind would seem to forbid any person
of delicate mind from sending forth any new dis
coveries in medicine to the Ir.al of the public ; still
motives of delicacy should not prevent us front
making known any real, discoveries, which we are
confident will benefit our (cltow-inen. This lattct
cmnsidcration has prompted the aullioi of these
Bitters to make them know n. Ho knows they are
highly efficacious, tor lie himself, his wife and many
friends have given their, a thorough (rial. He was
himself a confirmed dyspeptic, so much that even
his recollection was gone. By using these Bitters
he Ims been restored to health. Mrs. Cosby was
troubled lor many years, but was restored to health
by the use ol these Bitters. This has been the case
with many ol Ids friends.
Mr Coshy, in sending forth this advertisement,
addresses those who know him, tic was lor many
years a resident of Augusta, and is now a resident
of Hamburgh, where lie may at any time be con
sulted about llio Billers. 3 bey are good in all
cases of diseases ol Ibe digoslivcorgans, the syrnp
l.>ms of which are, Indigestion, Pain or Oppression
in lb; Stomach from food, loss irt Appclito, Flatu
lency, Heart Burn, Pam and < dddinoss in tho Head,
Pain in the Side, Shortness of Breath, Eussitudc,
general Weakness, Disturbed Sloop, Arc.
The composition is entirely botanical, and has
proved efficacious when many celebrated medicines
laid failed. In support of w hich ho gives the follow
ing certificate,anil might give many others ;
“Having been afflicted with dyspepsia for seve
ral years, and'having used many celebrated medi
cines without receiving any benefit, I purchased a
bottle ol O. Cosby’s Dyspeptic Bitters, and have
been restored to perfect health hy it.
