The Legislature has ulreadv decided the mutter us regards the erection of a State Hank, with the above capital. A petition for such a Bank had been recei ved a few days since, from Philadelphia. It was referred to the committee on banks, in the House of Representatives. The committee on the following day re ported against the project, and their re port was immediately adopted by the House. J CTIt will be recollected that it was stated in our last week's paper, that the American brig Encomium, bound from Charleston tu New Orleans, had been wrecked on one ut the Bahama Keys; from whence the officers and passengers, with a portion of their property, made their escape to Nassau, N. P. where they were grossly insulted by the British au thorities uf the Island, were forcibly de prived of their property, and were throat ed with the halter by the Lieut. Gover nor, in case they attempted to preserve it. W e observe that a public meeting on tin subject was held by the citizens of Wil mington on bridavlast, which is said to have been the largest and most respecta ble assemblage ever witnessed in that pi ee. Col. Gabriel Holmes officiated as Chairman, and Alexander Anderson, Esq. as Secretary. A series of sprinted resolutions, submitted by William B. Meares, Esq. strongly expressing their indignation at the insults and injuries of fered to our fellow citizens, nnd calling upon the Government of the U. States to take "prompt, decisive and efficient inoa i sures io inquire into, and to redress this outrage," were unanimously adopt ed. Kalctgh btar. in the Mobile Register of the 16th inst. a bank."

The State Loan of $729,000 has been awarded to Mr. John Moss, of Philadelphia, said by the HarrisburL' Intelligencer tn ho no o o -. agent of the Messrs. Rothschild, of Lon- lon. The loan bears an interest of 5 per cent, and the premium is one fourth of one percent. not one mill, as slated yesterday. The loss on this loan, upon the rescinded contract for it by Dr. Bur den, last year, is $96,554. It is said, that the Messrs. Aliens, who purchased the loan of Dr. Burden, will pay the dif ference to the Mate. It is not true, as there slated, that "the dwelling of the President was attacked, or that the windows of the Professors were broken in." The editor, doubtless, made the statement as he received it.

We have received a spe cial message of Governor Marcy, to the Legislature of New York, upon the sub ject of the oppressions of the U. S. Bank, and advising means to protect the inte rests of the people against that institu tion. The paper is one of great ability, and lays open the conduct of the Bank in a clear and masterly manner. It recom mends the issue of ii State Stock to the amount of four or five millions, and by loans of the said stock to increase the ability of the State Banks in the city of IMcw York, in such a manner as would be perfectly safe to the State, and enable them to extend their accommodations so as to supply the amount to be withdrawn by the Branch in that city. Pennsylv'n. Missouri. We are glad to learn, from Missouri, that the Governor of that State has refused to convene the Legislature, for the purpose of creating a State Bank, and has given some very good reasons for his refusal. lie says, for example, that executive agency, in assembling a Legislature, is a power which should be exercised only on extraordinary occa sions, and when the exigencies of affair? call for immediate legislation; that the idea of the necessity for creating a State Bank for the Government deposites is truly absurd, for the General Govern ment should not be dependent on State legislation to carry on her fiscal con cerns; and that the decision ol the last Legislature, refusing to charter a Bank, together with no new expression on the part of the people, arc sufficient reasons to justify the course which he has adopt ed.

We understand that active exertions are making to procure from the Legislature a charter for a State Bank, with a capital of 810,000,000. The following provisions will be engraft ed unon the charter: 1. Th Rank shall furnish the State sufficient himU to com plete the improvements, at 5 per cent, in terest per annum. 2. The Bank not to issue any note under $10, after the year 1340 under 15, after the year 1845 under 820, after the year 1350. 3. The capital of the Bank to be gradually redu ced, (commencing in the year 1845,) un til it is brought down to 5,000,000. 4. To establish Branches through the State, (not exceeding three in number,) and to have the privilege of placing Branches in other Stales, with the consent of their The Mormon difficulties. A late num ber tjf the Enquirer, a paper just started at Liberty, Missouri, contains a military order from Gov. Dunklin, to the captain of the "Liberty Blues," commanding him to hold himself and his men in "readiness to assist the civil authorities in aoore- bending and bringing to trial the persons offending against the laws, in November last, in Jackson county, in conflicts be tween the Mormons and a portion of the other citizens of that county." He is commanded to attend the court in that county, during the trial of the causes, and execute such orders as may be given him by the Judge or Circuit Attorney. Under these orders, and at the request of Judge Ryland, who stated thai a number of Mormons wished to testify before the Grand Jury, Capt. Achison marched his company into Independence, on the day appointed for holding court, having a number of Mormons under his protection. After a stay of about three hours, it was concluded by Judge Ryland, the Circuit Attorney and Attorney General Wells, that "it was entirely unnecessary to in vestigate tho subject on the part of the State, as the jury teem equally concerned in the outrages committed, and it was, therefore, not likely that any bills would be found." The Captain was therefore, directed to return to Liberty, and to dis charge his men. "To see a civil court the Governor says surrounded by a mi litary force, is well calculated to awaken ihe sensibilities of any community;" and the Governor charges his subordinate of ficer to perform his duties in the mildest manner possible.
