The Hank. On the 3d or this inst. the -stock holders of the Bank of Vinccnnes, ihe State Dank of Indiana, assembled at this place aud exhibited the farce of an flection for directors to said institution lor the current year who were elected directors, and whether those elected have declared a dividend of 50 or 100 per cent upon the profit to themselves or any fiart of the stockholders, we do not know but vc do know, that s'lmc of those who were said to be directors, had a large amount of the paper of the bank for sale at a discount of from 87 to 90 cents. STATE BANK. We have been cheered, within a few days, with a second visit from the Committee of the bank which carried off the specie funds This visit has resulted in the removal of all the notes and other valuable effects, except such as have been transferred to satisfy the individual debts of the Committee. If to use the notes clue to the bank for tho payment of individual debts, be evidence of the system of swindling practised by the bank ffcntry, the present visit of William H.

Eads affords ample testimony. Suit was !

brought against Lads and others for the sum of g679 50 in the Federal District !

ourt in which the bank had not the least concern, and. to stop the progress of this suit in court and satisfy the debt, he has transferred a number of the notes due the Corydon Branch Bank, while at the same time debts owing by the Bank are neglected, and most likely will fotever remain unpaid. Those whose notes are thus transferred may now expect to pay specie for the benefit of Win, II. Eads, one of the famous Committee of bank Directors. Ind. Gaz. It may be unwelcome news to some of aur readers, but it is not the lest necessary to communicate it, that the New Parliff bill (the bill for the more effectual protection and encouragement of Manufactures) may be considered as rejected The indications against it in the house of representatives yesterday were decisive against the possibility of forcing it through congress at the present session; and we rather think that the gentlemen who had it most at heart have give up fell hope of it. It has been supported Vith much zeal by Mr. Tod and others; but it was taken up at too late a period cf the session the session itself was too hurt, to bring to a final question this measure, the principle of which is tenaciously disputed, and about the details of which even its best friends essentially differ. Had the bill been reported, with the lowest rate of increment of duties that its friends would have been willing to accept ; that is, had it been conformed more nearly to the suggestions contained in the late annual report from the treasury depatment, it might have passed. But, even then, its fate would have been doubtful, from the cause already mentioned. Xat. Intel, LOSS OF THES TEAM BOAT TENNESSEE. It becomes our painful duty to record nc of the most distressing occurrences that ever took place, since the power of steam was applied to the purposes of navigation. That large and elcgantl) finished staain boat, the Tennessee, with all her cargo, and from forty to seventy of her passengers and crew, is in the bottom of the Mississippi! The particulars of the disaster have been related tu us by a gentleman on board at the time, who wed his life by swimming ashore. She was on her way from New Orleans to Louisville, with a full cargo and about one hundred and ninety souls on board. About ten o'clock, on the night of the 3th February, about 35 miles above the Walnut Hills, she struck a sawyer with such violence, that it stove in her bow, and let in such a torrent of water, that before she could gain the shore, she sunk in about 50 feet water. Of the deck passengers, and others who had time to awake and get out of their births, such as oould swim saved themselves by making to the shore if shore it could be called vhen overflowed to the depth of a foot or two with water. Others supported themselves with pieces of floating wood or timber or clung to the willows, until the long boat and yawl, into which the captain and several others had got, could oome to their relief. But of about a hundred and ninety persons nn board, only a hundred and twenty could be counted who bad escaped thus making about 70 who were drowned, or otherwise perished in this dreadful wreck. Among those were several of the cabin passengers, one lady with her infant child, and both the engineers, who in their courageous endeavors

to force the boat ashore, kept their stations until they were overwhelmed at their posts by the liquid clement. The night was exceeding cold, and the sufferings of the survivors were but little less than those of their less fortunate companions.

It was impossible to find dry land, and the greater number of them had to re-' ... .

main knee deep or moic in the water until morning. Illinois Gazette. Steam Boat Occurrence W arc extremely sorry to mtntion the loss of the celebrated boat James Ross. She had been at anchor in this port during the winter, and was to have sailed for NewOrleans in a few days, but by the sudden breaking up of the ice in the river, on Wednesday night, the exposed side of the boat against which large islands of ice came with the most irresistable force, was instantly crushed and broke down with the greatest violence. The engine is safe, and the machinery also, we believe, but the boat is irreparable. Captain Htws, we are informed, exerted himself to the utmost, to save her, but all in vain. Enquirer. A late New Orleans paper says, 'a rumor has been several day in circulation here, that the British are about embarking seven black regiments from their islands in the West Indies, in order to take possession of such parts of the Island of Cuba, as have become notoiious for piracy." Virginia is heriself again ! We have seen, with great pleasure, that an act has passed the legislature of Virginia, granting a Loan to her University, to the amount of sixty thousand dollars, which we hope will be sufficient to complete the buildings, and prepare the institution for the reception of Students. Nat Int. The bill for ratifying the convention between the State of Kentucky and Virginia, has been at length finally rejected, in the Legislature of the latter state by the tenacity of both houses in adhering" to their disagreeing votes on the amendments to the bill. The Comficnsation-Bill has been rejected in the same Legislature in the same manner. It passed both I louses by great majorities. It was in a fair way to bloom into existence. But, alasl there came a frost a chilling frost ! The two Houses disagreed about an amendment, touching the pay of a deputy clerk, or door keeper, or something of that sort; and they adhered to their mutual disagreement. Ib.

From the Louisiana, Advertiser. We arc desired by Capt. Jackson, of

the revenue Cutter, Louisiana, to state that the report which reached New-Orleans respecting the landing of British troops from transports on the Island of Cuba, was incorrect so far as it was given on his authority he having known of no such occurrence, having made no smch statement to any person, nor heard the report till since he arrived in this city. He merely stated on his arrival at Pcnsacnla, what he heard in Matanzas, that some marines from a British frigate had landed at the eastward of Point Yaco, but were ordered off by the Alcalde, who threatened to report their conduct to the Gov. General. Capt. J. saw no British transports during his cruise, nor did he hear of any, and was much surprised on his arrival here, to find that the invasion of Cuba by British troops had been posi

tively stated on his authority, when this

same statement was the first notice of

such an event which had reached him. In the coffee house yesterday, I received a letter, in which there was one word which consisted of but one syllable of but one letter, Sc yet the fellow had connived to have three false spellings in it. Dr. L. Afflictions sent by providence, melt the constancy of the noble minded, but confirm the obduracy of the vile. The same furnace that hardens clay liquifies gold ; and in the strongest manifestations of divine power, Pharaoh found his punishment, but David his pardon. The exports from the City of Cincinnati alone, in the fall and winter of 1821 22, are stated to have amounted, for three articles only (flour, pork, and whiskey,) to the value of three hundred thousand dollars.
