The new State Charter of the institution ha? been unanimously accepted by a general mating o'" is individu il stockholders, H.-.n. Benjamin Crowninshield of Mas?, in the Clnir. Mr. Hiddle made a speech in explarjition of the general management and present resource? of the Bank, assuring the stockholders of its ability to meet all tlie engagements imposed upon it by the terms of the rechartcr, at the same time that it is adapting it? business to the state of tilings under which it will hereafter exist. lie congratulated them, moreover, on its entire separation from !u: General Government or anv other polilif ll noer, which he considered at all times Iimrdo'is if not perniciou?, and calculated to detract materially from its general usefulness. (The reserved prolits of the Bank, principally if not entirely accruing d iring the ten last years of its exigence as a National institution, amount to about five millions of dollars.) Mr. BiilJ'o speaks with confidence of an amicable and mutually satisfactory settlement with the General Government. Hon. John Sergent, on behalf of the Directors, addressed the stockholders in commendation of the unrivalled financial talents and unremitting fidelity of Mr. B. during the manv years that he has presided over the insulation, concluding with a proposition that a fpIendiJ service of plate be awarded him as a testimonial of regard for his services. Unanimously agreed to. Mr. BidJle, in returning thanks for this honor, gave a brief retrospect of his connexion with the Bank, of its condition at the commencement, and of the difficulties which had teen triumphantly surmounted, and warmly e lionized the conduct of those with whom he had been connected therein. We understand that the following gentlemen will compose the new Board of Directors -.i the Bank: Nicholas Biddle Matthew Newkirk J;Ln Serjeant John A. Brown TLomss 1. Cope Richard Price Manuel Evre John Bevlard,Jr. JMm 11. uff Henry troth William Piatt James Worth, of Bucks CinrbsChauncey Jonathan Uoberts.of Montgomery Joshua Lippincott Amos Ellmaker, of Lancaster Ambrose White Charles Ogle, of Somerset Lawrence Lewis Wm, Robinson, Jr. of Allegheny. There is one provision of the new charter waicli we have noticed hitherto: The Bank ii prohibited the issue of notes of a less denomination than $10. We look upon this as a pitiful provision, whether suggested by the Bank or imposed as a claptrap by the Legislature. If there be no 'mystery or iniquity,' r.o hidden dangers or open evils in the circulation of its tens, hundreds, and thousands, tiicn there can surely be none in that of the proscribed fives; while the latter are more a portion of the 'sound currency'' MrBidci talks of, and their place not so readily supplied by checks, drafts, and the ordinary machinery of a mercantile communitv. They have already saved as many dollars in our own limited business, which but for them we should have been compelled to lose in discount on Southern and South-Western states t per cent, on Louisville.!) per cent, on Natchez; while the notes of the LT. S. Branches t those places arc good for the silver; Now. as the td J U.S. live will doubtless be at all times, at least for years, redeemable at the Bank and its branches, we suggest that they be kept in circulation as long as possible, or until one or more of the great South-Western Banks can be induced to keep their notes at par in this city. We trust the day is not far distant when all the Deposite Banks will receive each other's notes in payment or on deposite. They owe this to the community; anJ. it the point is not speedily reached by voluntary arrangement, their action will doubtless be quickened by Congress. A meeting of the Directors of the old Bank i the United States was held on the 2d insl. aid M.uherr L. Bevan elected President, in pace of Nicholas Biddle resigned. Mr. BidCe was the same time unanimously elected resident of the new or Pennsylvania United fcttes Bank. .V Yorker.

Then we have some large words on the subject of Slaver' and Abolition; but thev do not signify a great deal. In conclusion, the Gov. animates the Micl.igans to persevere in the maintenance of their claim, and trust to Providence and the justice of the National Government to redress their grievances.
.Vail Rohher Taken. A fellow by the name of Jones, alias Hawkins, was escorted to Richmond. Va. not long since, where he had robbed the Mail of upwards of forty thousand dollars, some two or three months ago. He was taken at Cincinnati, by one of the post office agents, Mr. Anderson. It isreportedth.it the pork-honsc of Bushrod Smith at the Narrows of Sugar Creek waseniirelv destroyed by tire last Wednesday night. The house contained at the time, upwards of fifty thousand pounds of pork, none of which was saved. This is the third heavy misfortune that has belallen Mr. Smith at that place in little more than six months. In the first place a clerk ran off with a handsome sum of money. In the second he had about $150,00. stolen. His present loss must be much more heavy thin both the others. The fire is supposed to be the work of an incendiary. Rockville Intelligencer. Sad Event. A collection of young people as sembled at Charleston, N. II. on the last day of Dec., for a ball, and the close of the evening, four young men retired to an adjoining room, and set down to a game of cards. While in the act of playing and drinking one of the number instantly expired at the table. His three companions, unwilling to mar the festivities of the occasion, concealed his death, until morning, when his corps was carried home to his parents. The next evening another ball was attended at the same place. Law Feminine. At a settlement of colored people near salem, N. J. a stranger of their own hue having appeared among them a few days since in the guise of a sweep, but who it was shrewdly suspected yvas a spy to find cut if there was any runaway slave among them being taxed therewith was unable to givre any satisfactory account of himself, lie was in consequence tied to a tree, his hands extended over his head, and thus placed, a dozen black women castigated him without stint, till he was released by some passers by. lie fled the neighborhood immediately. VTe learn from the Louisville Journal, that the Arsenal at Frankfort, Ky., w as consumed by fire, on Saturday morning last, together with about an hundred thousand standofarms, which it contained. The loss is said to be very heavy. Cm, JJ'h'g, March 17th. It is said that Gov.

The w ell known abilities of Mr. Gardiner, will ensure, we doubt not, an extensive subscription to the "People's Press." Cincinnati IVhig. Mr. John Woon, has also issued proposals for a new paper in support of Gen. Harrison, called the "People's Lcho," published in this citv, weekly, for six months for .$"- We understand that Mr. Wood has already obtained quite a large list of subscribers, and from his industry and ability, we cannot doubt that he will render the Echo an interesting sheet, and an efficient auxiliary to the "good cause."' We hope that both of these papers will "Go ahead"' triumphantly. Cin. Whig. From the Louisville Journal.

COAGRESSIOAAL. SKETCHES.
Correspondeuce of the Cincinnati Whig. W ashington, March 4th, 1S3G. Friday .Morning. I anticipate a dull day in both Houses of Congress, and, that like Wormwood in the Lottery Farce, I may weary your readers with something. Permit me to remind you of what, perhaps, you may not have thought of, connected with the debates in this congressional city. 1 he discussion winch has now , closed, on Mr. Benton's Resolution, has probably ! preseiueu me greatest uispiay ot intellect that lias ! utc.i occu tj ucaiu in congress lor many years. The Deposite question only, if any question, has exceeded it in the variety and pow er of debate. To enumerate, then, whom we have heard of the members of the administration. let me first remind you of the great humbug expunging Mr. Benton, the father of the Resolution, who, upon two j occasions, and in much excitement, has addressed i the Senate in support of his favorite theme "w ar to the Lilt," and the downfall of France. Musty j books and mustier manuscripts have been hunted ; up by him in every library within his reach, to j move Liiiit iiie i reiicii wore not omv nrenr roo-nes but great cowards. 1 have seen him upon one occasion, so angry, that in very madness he was compeneu not oniy to leave the ueuate, hut the Senate ; . t j i .t i -i i i . . Chamber also. 1 hen again, he has exhibited the ; utmost sang lroicl, and with his quizzing class to; his eyes, and his textbook before him, looked wondrous wise. Then njrain, as expressive of contempt, HKe me crowing ol the mom in ? cock, he has stretched forth his neck, and with a finger of scorn, cried out 1 raitor to those who were better iiomans than himself Mr. Benton will never be forgotten for his monomania. Mr. Cuthbert, of Georgia, too, upon the same question, has been heard, and would that you could hear him once and once only (1 would impose no greater punishment upon my worst enemy than to listen lor an nour, as i nave clone to tin pompous Senator) bear him as 1 heard growling him ill reply to Webster, and have seen the fright he threw
upon the people when the lion took his seat to hear the Abolition "monster the 15ank "monster or the buzzing of a rly. What a substitute is this said any other monster w ith a hundred lives. The Col. Cuthbert for Forsyth, compared with whom, both commenced his speech at one point of the Globe for common sense and intellect, he is no more than and finished it in course then he entered the cenIsaac Hill to Daniel Webster, or a mouse to a lion. I tre of the L'arth. told of fortifications there then
But to continue my picture of the opposition, Have vou heard Mr. Hubbard, himselfor his speed of two day's length, in which he annihilated )ir. Webster, destroyed the Senate, shamed the Whig Representatives, and caused the whole ofthe Y r Buren paraty to hang their heads in sorrow for themselves and their heterodox principles! Mr. Buchanan, too, has spoken, and insostrange a voice, that all in print or by word of mouth have heard him. It was he, you remember, w ho denied the good faith ofthe King of the French, and enforced the good principles of Gen. Jackson and the General's party. Mr. Buchanan is called a pretty man by the female partizans of the party (women here are as great politicians as the men.) Buchanan is a widower which may account for the praise bestowed upon him by his single friends of the( minine gender. Mr. Wright, of New York, w ho beyond comparison is the ablest Administration Senator, also spoke at lenghth upon the merits of the Resolution, lashing with all the power he has, and which power is by no means small, the whole ofthe measure ofthe Whig members of Congress, in reference to the loss of the Fortification bill. His eulogy of "Lgo et mens rex, to use the spirit of his language, was the boldest I have heard contending, as he does, not only that the king has done no wrong, but more particularly that he can do no wrong. With him the present has been the best of all administrations. Mr. Wright, however, wrong as may be his arguments, has power enough to sustain them better than any of his associates. Mr. F.ther Shepley has also been among the de baters on the vexed question, saying with many i foolish things a good, thing or two in reference to the Kitchen Cabinet, which you will remember he vindicated at his debut in the Senate two years since. Last year he said there were many goods things in the Kitchen; and to prove the truth of his assertion then, l.e maintains now that a member of the then Kitchen has since been elevated to the parlor meaning Amos Kendall, who has ascended from an Auditor to a Post -Master General. Lther upon this occasion, attempted to be witty. It vas, however, an atttempt only, and proved him to be

Mr. Bedford Brown, of X- C. who talks faster than a windmill, and who, I think, from all I see and all I am told, is the most subservient Senator of any of tbe party, has also been among tbe debaters. His polities are the very worst imaginable. Xo greater contrast can be well made, than be tween hun and his colleague, -lr. .uaiigum. o much for the Administration men who have spoken on this subject. In my letter of to morrow, I will take a retros - pect of the speeches ol the Whig members of (he Senate. More than one third ol the present session thus far, was spent in the consideration ofthe reso lution. Friday Evening. This morning, Hannegan was the first upon the floor endeavoring to draw the attention cf the House to the consideration of a Resolution, having reference to the West Point Academy. He com-
