- It in a remarkable fact that while the annual expenses ten years ago exceeded those of the lost year forty thousand dollars, the value of taxable property lias increased In the meantime one hundred aud seventy-four thousand dollars. Satisfactory evidences of the strength of the financial resources of tlie State may ho seen in what it tins accomplished; in the hist ten years. During this period, without estimating what are called tlie ordinary expenses of the Slate, there have been by taxation, levied, collected and applied, the following sums, namely: For the redemption of principal " and interest of scrip $2,274,5115,06,;,; Interest on tlie public debt, including the payment of the interest for January 1855 81,703,412,92.

The Banks. —As tho charter of the State Bank of Indiana expires before the meeting of the next Legislature, the Governor recommends that commissioners bo appointed to wind ..up its affairs.— Concerning the Free Banks, Governor Wright says: , The law upon tho subject ■ of general banking.has failed to accomplish the purpose for which it was enacted. It has notfumisbeJ for the people a sound cir* cula.ingmedium. .-: ; Tliq practical operation of the law, in manyj. instances* has been that the individual has not sought to locate and commch'.e tiib business of banking to accommodate the commercial communily, but to’borrow money for himself under the | sanction of the law. Men without capiI thi, os with.'barely.credit sufficient to bOr|row a; few thousand, dollars of stocks, have hoed favnibhed facilities under tlio liw £6 become bankers to th’e, extent of mltrons. Witlr the- cdrrcncy|procnml upon the first deposit of sc(.uriiics have been purchased, and thus a largo circulation has been created without a dollar of actual capital. | The cu eolation of the State Bank in 1 October, 1853, .was 83,834,767 50 In October 1854 $2,803,648 00

LyncliXuw hi fllarlposn, California—Jack RoarKo Hang by • the: People/.. The dtizeris of Mariposa were all last week'in a state of great excitement in consequence of the mnnlcr of a Kentuckian, named James Horing, by a one-eyed gambler, knwn in many parts of the State asJack'Roarke. Horing went to Mariposa from the neighborhood of Sonora aboht tbo middle of last■ week. He became intoxicated on Sunday evening. and was taken by'Roarke and put to bed in tile El Dorado. Next morning be missed Bomomohey (about 8160) which was in his pocket tho evening previous. ; During ouridayand'Monday ho made some cnquiriesto discover the thief, and from the facte that were stated to him, became convinccdthatRoarkowos the person. : Ho; nrke, previousto therobbery oftbg money bad rcpresentcd.hirnsclf as being, broke, and tins*waspretty generally received by hisassbdates na’lrae.- f After tho.- events of Saturday eydiing, be appeared to have' some funds; and was betting rather freely.

The deceased replied tthat if he took the top.ofhis head off; ho would have to take tho bottom with it.' He then rose from the table wberd ho was sitting, drew bis pistol, codreilJit, and presented it in the direction.of lioarke. Mo Greal immediately fdepped between them, caught the pistol of the deceased and pointed it up, when lioarke reached around McOreal and shot Horing, .while held by another. After receiving a mortal wound, Horing fired a fter lioarke, who waa fleeing, but missed him.' Horing died; and Roarko was arrested arid confined.in ,the county jail. The people were much excited at the lime, but their indignation slumbered until Saturday, when lioarke was taken from tho jail by a largo crowd of the citizens, and hung until dead, on a tree just outside of the limits of tho town.
