The list of professions and oceupa- tions of those having accounts with this institution is very interesting but our pace will not permit giving it wt longth.

Of the deposits within the past year there were from $1 to $5, $1,497; from $5 to $10, $2,002; from $10 to $20, $2,949; from $20 to $30, $2,342; from $30 to $40, $1,219; from $40 to $50, $1,009. Among the new depositors within the past year, there were 263 domestics, 16 milliners, 149 seamstresses, 20 washerwomen. ‘We learn that the amount of private subsoriptions to the Nashville and Chattanooga railroad, is now $1 ,800,- 000. The board of directors are endeavoring to get the Legislature to appropriate $500,000, to enable the com- pany to get subscriptions for $1,000,000 from the cities of New York and Charleston. A bill has passed the Senate of the Tennessee Legislature, appropriating $614,000 to the East Tennessee and Virginia railroad, $100,000 to the Nashville and Chattanooge railroad, and $614,000 to the Ohio and Mobile railroad. This looks very much like a rapid increase of the debt of that State, and may lead tothe most disastrous results, as regards the credit of the State. The Legislature of Tennessee have under considera- tion a bill authorizing a General Banking Law, similar to that in operation in this State, The bill proposes to make the business of banking free on the conditions prescribed in it. Should it be passed, any person, or as- sociation of persons will be authorised to open a banking house by first depositing three-fourths of the capital in- tended to be employed in the business, in State bonds,or United States stocks, or funded debt,bearing an interest of not less than five per cents, in the office of the comp- troller of the treasury, transferred to the State, to be held in trust forthe redemption of the circulation; and by giving the comptroller satisfactory evidence that the remaining fourth of the capital is deposited in the vaults ofthe bank, and put under the control of its manegers. Having complied with these terms, the comptroller is to ‘eause the circulating notes to be printed, and, after ountersigning them,and numbering and rogistering them ia a book of his office, is to deliver them to the banking association, by whose president they are to be signed, after which they may be circulated. The amount to be issued to the banker is in no case to ex- ceed the amount of the State bonds deposited with the comptroller, who forfeits his office if he violates this pro- vision.

The present suspense, as to the movements of Mr. Trist, is not likely to be terminated for a week or ten days at least. The British courier will, probably, have brought the news to Vera Cruz three days ego, and if so, we shall not have it before the 12th inst. Meantime the ru- mors and eurmises are innumerable. One of the latest of these surmises is, that General Scott will not be tried at Perote, but merely at- tend as a witness, and that the government has acceded to his request to be recalled. The go- vernment has done no such thing. No tnal is ordered to take place at Perote—it is merely an investigation; but General Scott’s conduct will be investigated, as wellas that of the other ofli- cers. He will not attend the court as a witness only, ualess he shall refuse to submit his acts to the investigation of the court. From the st ment made by Mr. Cass in his plaee, in the Sen ate, in reply to Mr. Crittenden, it would appear that, even the Chairman of the Military Commit- tee, is not quite accurately informed by the go- vernment, of the different steps taken, in rela- tion to the army in Mexico. This is wrong, unless, 2s may be the case, the President is not quite sufficiently convinced that Mr. Cass can keepa secret. In such a case, the President may be excused the seeming discourtesy. The truth is, Mr. Cass is too simple and unsophistica- ted to be pitted wgainst Mr, Crittenden, the leader of the whigs,in the Senate. The latter always succeed in finding the exact key to all the ex- ecutive secrets, locked up in the bosom of the Chairman of the Military Committee. There is nothing new to-the readers of the Herald in the correspondence of Mr. Trist, com- municated to the Senate in accordance with the request of that body. A summary of its contents has been, from time to time, communicated, and the only important portion of them not already ublished, is that which the Secretary of State has declined, from prudential motives, to fur- nish to the Senate. An_ interview took place yesterday between Mr. Buchanan and the Chairman of the Commit- tee of Foreign Relations of the House, Mr. Tru- man Smith, who wished to be particularly in- formed as to whether any projet of a treaty has been received from Mexico, ‘The Secretary an- swered in the negative. Upon being asked whe- ther a treaty has been negotiated by Mr. ‘Trist, Mr. Buchanan expressed an affirmative opinion, for which he assigned many reasons. Mr. Smith will take an early opportunity of communicating this intelligence to the House. Mr. Clay is steadily gaining strength, and Ge- neral ‘Taylor’s friends are becoming dispirited in consequence. The General has the misfor- tune of being supported by a great many worth- less politicians; and to this fact may be ascribed, ina great measure, his defeat, if he 1s defeated. Mr. Downs, of Louisiana, in the course of his speech in the Senate on Monday, attacked Albert Gallatin for presuming to advise on the subject of the war, he (Mr. Gallatin) being ‘‘a foreign- er.” Mr. Downs’s father was doubtless an Irish- man, if he be not himself one. The name is very common in Ireland. Ga.vignsis. Wasurneton, Feb. 8, 1848. The Speech of the Hon. John Bell. The speech of Mr. Bell, of Tennessee, con- cluded to-day, has taken all hands by surprise, because on both sides of the House it was sup- posed he was under some sort of pledge to the Tennessee Legislature to stand by the war. Mr. Bell travelled round in a circle until he came to the centre of his argument, which was, that the war must be stopped. ‘ Stop the war!” or that annexation would follow, and that disso- lution would be the fifth and last act of the drama: bs His winding up was fearfully vivid, fiery, sparkling, crackling, and picturesque, and while it tickled the old whig Senators amazingly, and riveted the attention of the people in the gal- leries, it put the Chairman on Military Affairs in aserious reflecting attitude, as if he was half convinced that he saw the pro-consuls of the Mexican States gathered around him, with their credentials. The speech of the Senator from “tienes was a relief from the old ahd startling. His lively, i id,var: “2s y ereag Staphio; rapid. var.

Whig National Convention. Atthe Baltimore Whig Convention of 1844, it was resolved that the next national convention of the party, should be held at Philadelphia. In conformity with this decision, made upon that delusively auspicious occasion, at which, in the presence of some twenty odd thousand enthusiastic whigs in the race field, we heard one of them shout out to Daniel Webster, while making a speech in favor of Mr. Clay, “And you shall be the next one, Daniel;” in confor- mity with the decision at said convention. The whigs of Congress, in caucus fo-Big ts Mr. Man- gum presiding, and Mr. Caleb B, Smith, Secre- tary, resolved that the whig natiénal convention of 1848, shall be held in Independence Hall, Philadelphia, on the first Wednesday (the 7th day) in June next. Now, gentleman, what are you going todo. Nominate Clay or Taylor. Nous Verrons. Wasuneton, Feb. 3, 1848. Mr. Clay. Mr. Clay continues at his quarters at the Uni- ted States Hotel. Large detachments of ladies wait on him every day with their smiles and their congratulations. Every evening he dines | out somewhere, and every morning, about twelve, he dismisses his company in his parlor’ and goes out to meet some appointment, or to visit the Supreme Court and the two houses. He is as happy as the day 18 ee Neither defeats nor disappointments have shaken his buoyant mind. His cerdial “good morning” will disarm anenemy. He is perfectly easy about the Con- vention. He has declared, indeed, that he is no candidate, which is all proper enough, but it may turn out yet, that the regular party nominees will be Henry Clay and James K. Polk. There are elements at work looking to this result. THIRTIETH CONGRESS, FIRST SESSION. Wasnixaton, Web, 2, 1843. Senat After prayers, by Rev. Mr. Slicer, On motion of Me.

Johnson, arking satisfaction from Congress for Mexican epolia- tions. He represents that he is a native of Connecticut, has been for forty years a mariner, and that in 1531, un- der the guaranties of existing treaties with Mexico, he fitted out the schooner stellation. at New York, whence he sailed with a cargo of goods to Tobusco, in the republic of Mexico. Im 1832, after disposing of his goods Fieve? the Tobasco river, and while coming down the river with a return cargo of logwood, the Mexican armed schooner Vera Gruzana captured his vessel, ap- propriated it to the purposes of the civil war, which was then raging, using the schooner in the trausportation of troops, wi the logwood was thrown ashore, and ap- propriated to the erection of s fort by the adverse party Captain Johngon, himself, was placed in the stocks, and compelled, at the point of the sword, to navigate hisship in obedience to the demands of the pecty velsteg 2. Mr. Nixes, in submitting the memorial, prefaced it with some explana’ remarks, in which he took the ground that outrages like this, there were bandreds of # similar character committed by Mexico against the citizens and commerce of the United States, were of themselves ® sufficient cause, and ought to have been made ® c@use of war, without waiting for any other provocation.

Bui there were reasons, notwithstanding all these considerations, which were superior to them, ood which would be conclusive with bim against voting for this bill, He should hoid himeelf as fall short of his duty if he could sit here and tly vote against the bill without & remonstrance against voting blindly appropriations Fequired for the utmost, extension of the policy of the President, some parts distinotly avowed, while others were darkly referred to in the message and public doou- ments.

B. said he had come here to vote the eup; but the war, aud the ob. jects of the war were no louger what they were in 1845; they are an enlargement of the views aud the policy of 1846; and if General Taylor's proclamation of 1v4s, re- ferring to the war asa war “for indemnity for the past, and security for the future,’ were the real objects at that time, as we now undexetand them, it was disreputa- ble to have attempted to cover up these desigus to this iste day.

Kor me, at present, it is suflicient to know that the war still rages, that it stands recognised by Congress, wha’ ever may be the character of the notable device by which that assent was obtained; nor shall I inquire whether the war might have been avoided or not; though I think that it might bave been avoided. He bad no great sympathy for any past or existing go- verpment in Mexico. The government of that country has been a disgrace to the name of republicanism, and partioularly was he destitute of any regard or eymputh for the fiefs by which thi Gistracted country bad been broken dowu. He sympa- thised with the innocent and unoffending people of any country, that were made the sufferers of » wanting war, of which they are guiltless ; but he hud no sympathy for the Mexican gasconading and faithless chiefs. They were the responsibly offenders against their country While Mr. Bell considered there might have been just grounds of offence to Mexico, in the connivance of the United States to the Texans in the war of their inde- pendence, still, the outrages of Mexico upon the rights of our citizens would have been of thewsvlves, under the laws of nations, and under the moral code, just ow of war. Passing then to the question of indem Mr. Bell urged a generous and magnanimous cou ward Mexico, He would demand nothing more than that which was reasonable and generous. Mr. Brnron—Capital! capital ! Mr. Bert said he should then only demand ao reasonable indemnity—that which would not oppress Mexico to pay, but which would nevertheless meet our just claims against her. He denounced the epithets heaped upon the whig party by the edhe- renis of the administration, such as that the whigs are auxfiaries to the enemy, allies of the Mexicans aud guilty of moral treason, and as giving“ aid and com ort to the enemy.” Now, sir, ell such epithets as these ave dictated, in my judgment, by a sort of moral despotism, | with whore excessive zeal, in its obedience to th» powers that be, is such, that the reasons and due consideration to the rights of freemen, have nothing todo. lie depre- cated the prosecution ‘of the war, because it lo ked to the subjugation of Mexico, and the conversion of our countrymen into a band of propagandists, whose mission would be just as likely to end in a war wich all Europe, asin anything else. He regarded. in every view, the subjugation and occupation of Mexico, as one of the greatest, if not the very grestest, of calamities that could befall this country. He denied aad defied the charges of the opposition. that the resistance of the whigs to this war hed prolonged it. ‘They had contri- buted their full quota of men and money, but still the whig party had been set down an the cause of the con- tinued hostile attitude of the Mexicans; and ic is even charged by a high oftcer lately trom Mexioo, that tho assassinations of our troops by the gueriileroes on the | road sides of Mexico, are attributable to the encourag ment given them by their allies in the United States. Mr. Foore desired to know of the Senator, what oft for Senators upon his side of the chamber had friends among the officers of the army. Mr. Beit explained, that hy meant # general offices; he was once a member of this body, from New liamp- shire. (Gen, Pierce.) Mr. Foorr—So I thought, sir. Mr. Beit mainteined that the whigs, on the contrary, had done their whole duty to the country—that the sei timent of the country ws opposed to this war—-that if the yote were tukeu, two-thirds of the people of the Union woyla 8 found to be against it. The people ha ex sony heir disapprobation of the war in manifesta- +vu6 Which could not be mistaken, and these evidences of disapproval had reached the inmost receases of the Whito House, and there could be no doubt that they had been heard.

Mr. Bex sald he was right in his understanding of tho Senator. He would accept his explanstion as the true definition of the policy of the government.
