_ The receipts of the Hartford and New Haven Rail- Foad for nine months of the current year, to June 1, amount to $245;761 05. Same period last year, $186,- 128 54. Increase $59,632 51—being about twenty-four per cent Agreeably to the provision in the charter of the Cen- tral Railroad Company of Michigan by the Legislature, @ reduced rate of tolls and charges for the transporta- tion of passengers and freight has been fixed, com- mencing the Ist inst,, taking the average of the prices and tolls on the Boston and Lowell, Boston and Providence, and the Boston and Worcester railroads as the maximum price on each article. The following banks have given notice that they will apply to the next Legislature of Pennsylvania fora renewal of their charters—seventeen applications for enewals :— ik of Chester County, Bank of Delaware Cywnty, Bank of Montgomery County ; i ge Bank, Wilkesbarre ; Farmers’ and Drovers’ Ban! ‘aynes- burg); Harrisburg Bank; Lebanon Bank ;’ Farmers? and Mechanics’ Bank. Philadelphia; Bank of Pennsyl- vania, Philadelphia ; Dauphin Deposit Bank ; Bank of Germantown ; Bank of Chambersburg ; Farmers’ and Mechanics’ Bank, Bucks County ; Monongahela Bank, Brownsyille. A new bank, to be called the Anthracite Bank of Ta maqua, Schuylkill County, will be asked for. A telegraph despatch from Albany to-day, announces the suspension of the Canal Bank of that city. This isa safety fund bank,and one of the oldest institu- tions in the State.. The Comptroller called for a re- port of all ihe banks of the State, showing their con- dition on the 24th of June last; and itis probable that the Canal Bank made returns accordingly; but as it has not yet been made public, we give the statement made on the 4th of March last. At that time the loans and discounts amounted to $619,890; specie $8,920; circulation $155,575; deposits $76,580, The credit of this bank has always ranked high, although th amount of specie on hand at the date of its last report ‘was small compared with its circulation. The immedi- ate cause of its suspension has not transpired, but we fF have no doubt the concern has been in a filing vondi- tion for along time. Sometime since the free banks were in a bad way, and several of them went by the beard; but as there was some security for the bill holder, the losses were not very great. The safety fund banks are established upon a different system; and we should not be surprised to see dozens of them go by the board. We annex a statement exhibiting the condition of the leading departments of each safety fund bank in the State,on the 4th ot March last:— Sarety Foxp Bayxs or tim Starx or New York, Mancn 4, 1848, Names of Banks.

This shows, at once, the weaknoss ) of these concerns. It is. not co necessary for the free banks to be so well supplied with epecio as the safety fund banks, as they have a security at all times in the hands of the Comptroller, which can be made available for the redemption of their issucs. We do not know at any time what security the holder of a safety fund billhas, The capital stock may be formed of the notes of the directors, nnd the value of their assets are only known to those who have the control of them, The safety fund is a perfect bagatelle—it never was, at any time, large enough to redeem the issues of the suspended banks formed under the sys- tem, and it has never been anything buta bubbie. This plan originated with a clique of political finan- clere, of which Martin Van Buren was the moving epirit; and it bas rerved as a disguise for one of the most rotten and corrupt systems of banking ever in- vented. The safety fund, as it is called, has given the Danks connected with it, acredit which they could not otherwice have obtained; and the public haye been deceived very much relative to the extent of that fund and its dependence, in the event of a suspension of any bank belonging to that cl We should not be surprised to ree half of the safety fund banks in the State suspend. They have existed entirely upon a false cre- dit ever since they were created, and the moment the confidence which has kept them alive is removorl, that momont they cease to exist, All the contributions to the fund within the next ten years, would not redeem the bills of one bank, and sooner or later the system must explode altogether, Look out for all safety fand bank bills; the fesues of the free banks are safe enough as they have ample security for the'r redemption, XCHANCe $00 Tre es CAD Sta'e 7. £100 FS Os, WO 1 HOU S65, 63 coup F000 Kenvwety Os 0 Penn da E680 Obto Ge, "60 4000 de 1400 Reading Bonds £000 do. 200 she Farmers’ Trost ro do re , 00 do 10 Erie KK .

Value of Time in Congress, In the House to-day any number of platform speeches were exploded. The war with Mexico was minutely detailed; the boundary of Texas was profoundly discussed, and Taylor and Cass were sufficiently abused. This, perhaps, is all right. It cannot be expected that upwards of two hundred gentlemen, who have mainly made their reputation on the stump, ean by any possibility allow such splendid opportunities for displaying their peculiar abilities to the best advantage, to pass unheeded Taking all this into consideration, after aclose mathematical inquiry, we have arrived at the conclusion, that Congress will not adjourn before September, and that even then a large amount of business wall remain untouched. Asa specimen of the arguments indulged in in these Hadiatorale hibitions, we give a choice selection, Mr. McClernand, of Ifhnois, in the course of a rambling speech im defence of the administration, (by the way, Mr. Secretary Mason was moving about the hall all the morning,) the Mexican war, the Texan boundary, and the state of the country, accused the whtg party of being de facto the authors of the war, by Nixie elecied ‘that illu: trious individual, John Tyler, to the chief magis§ tracy. Mr. Schenek, ot Ohio, jumped up and denied supporting Tyler. ** We” (the whig party) ** sup- ported Tyler until we found he was dishonest ; then we abandoned him. The democratic pariy opposed ‘Tyler until it discovered his dishonesty ; then it supported him.” This 1s all very fine, but 1t is not very true. Is Daniel Webster a whig ? and if so did he not continue Secretary of State under Tyler, aiter it was ‘fonnd he was dishon- est?” A splutter to be sure was made by a few oi the party about it, but 1s not Webster’ still a leading embodiment of the whig party? The matter is of no great moment, but thus it stands. All this retrospection is pure and unalloyed hum- bug. ‘The war is now a matter of history, and Jolin Tyler has been consigned to the tomb of all the Capulets. Let the discussions in Congress, for Heaven's sake, be upon the merits or demerits of the measures before it, The greater part of the mure’s nests and political tergiversation of years gone by, are now just as important as a solution to that very puzzling question, “ who trod on ‘Tim Murphy’s coat?” The importunce with which they are invested in the halls of the Capitol, when contrasted with their real merits, is astonishing.

The speech of Hon, Reverdy Johnson to-day, in support of the Missouri compromise to the Pacific Ocean, was a good thing, and spoken in the nick of time. It will help the cause mightily. It will go far to bring the Taylor whigs up to the work. But like all great and startling questions—like the N. E. boundary for instance—and the Oregon treaty, and the treaty wit: Mexico, this compro- mise overrides and overrules all party distinctions. ‘Phe thing will pass, and though the’ ery of repeal may be raised in the North, nothing can ever be done to shake the line when once itis fixed by the signature cf the President of the United States. ‘Lhe ery of repeal will be a mere expedient to the proviso people to die upon, We defy them to shake the line when once established. And we believe that betore the 9th of August the Missouri com- We hold it certain that it will pass the Senate be- fore the present week is out. Tur Docror. Wasuineron, July 10, 1848, General Kearny and Colonel Benton. We understand thatthe nommation of Brigadier General Kearnyfas a Major General by brevet, was rejected in the Senate on Saturday las! We have not had an opportunity to consult any Senator ws to the fact; but the officer who gives us the information is a man of trath; we take it, therefore, that the thing was done. The action of the Senate may be accounted-for in five words: Colonel Benton did the business. Gen. Kearny arraigned Lieut. Col. Fremont before the late court martial. ‘The court, onthe evidence, as they were bound to do, condemned the prisoner on all the charges. ‘Lhe President, as we hold it, properly acquitted the accused, and restored him his posi- tion. Fremont, as we regard it, very properly re- signed. Thus the case ended between Kearny and Fremont. But Col. Benton, the father-in-law of Tremont, had yet a balance against General Ke ny. He has exacted it, and Kearny is reje ‘There itis. You see how it stands, WwW.

The independent Taylorites, of Maryland, pro- pose dropping Gen. Taylor, if he should prove re- creant to their views, and taking up John C. Cal- houn. But that is allnonsense. Seramblers for office will never vote for any man unless they feel confident of success, which, of course, could not be anticipated with the great Southerner. On Suturday last the Washington Lodge of Odd Fellows followed to the grave the remains of W. 8. Rathbone, a native of Rochester, N.Y. He ceme to this city some two weeks since, and was taken ill. The members of the order of Odd Fel- lows took him in charge, and after every attention was paid to him in life, they{performedtihe last sad duty of committing his remains to Greenmount Cemetery, followed by a large concourse of mem- bers of the order. ‘The Maryland volunteers have arrived at Pitts- burg, and itis now said that they will be dis- charged at that point, and allowed to make their way home sccording to their own inclinations. If this should be the case it will upset all the arrange- ments making here to give them a grand recep- tion. The Shorifialty election that comes off in Octo- ber, attracts more attention in this city than the Presideney. ‘Lhe barnburner demoerats, who Fr. pudiate the nomination of Mr. Cloud, intend voting for Colonel Kane, as an independent candidate. The Colonel being a whig, he will receive a large vote from his politieal friends, and bets are mak- ing on his election over the democratic nominee. ‘The Frent street theatre has been closed for the purpose ofbeing newly decorated, and I learn that it will be re-opened by Mr. Burton in a short time, with the famous Viennoise Children, d. , which, 2 slowest of Pumapevenra, July U1, 1843.

The bali that took efivet, entered below the breast at the sternum, and’ pass! round through the muscles, came ouy at the small of the back, without touching the spine, or injuring any of the vital parts, She passed an easy night, and not considered to be in danger of her life. ‘The partie*had been living separate for the last three years, she keeping two of their children, and he the other one, ealousy and intemperance had been the primary cause of the separation, and urg, the writ cannot be issued withi i time.

Jt implies an inferiority of some of the States in ail matters touching the principles of pa- triotism and mérality. It maintains the existence and the continuing degeneracy of a portion of the Union, and the right and the duty of the other portion to free itself from these corrupting influences, and to arrest th its ignominions extension. ‘Those are the fearful topics of discussion prosented to us in the general question embraced in the bill under consideration. ‘they aro certain to array section against section, State against State, and citizen descendants of a common ane blood and treasure gave us the ii now enjoy, how iniportant it there nst citizen, As whose tmingled erties which we is for us to termi- nate diffeulties by every honorable effort of justice, patrictism, and condiliation, If suffered to become an element in our political contents, who docs not see that sooner or liter we must cease to be a united people?—who docs not see that our Union, instead of being cherished and_ perpetuated, will bea Union no longer?
