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

as Chairman, and Alexander Anderson,
Esq. as Secretary. A series of sprinted

Ncio York. 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as to supply the amount to be withdrawn

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. If reasons were as nlcntv as hlaek-

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. St. Louis Rep.
