AMLUICAN BANKING AND LOAN ITEMS.—The auditors
appointed by the Court of Common Pleas at Philadelphia,
fur the distribution of the funds of the late United States
Bank, have reported dividends to the amount of 48 and
8-10ths per cent. on the principal and interest of the post
notes issued by that bank, as provided in the deed of assign-
ment of its effects at the period of its stoppage.
The legislature of Indiana passed resolutions in the month
of January last for the adjustment of the public debt, upon
the basis of providing for the payment of one moiety of the
principal ani interest by taxation, and the other moiety
by the assignment of the property and tolls of the canal
from the State line adjoining Ohio to Evansville on
the Ohio river, the State to be freed from all responsi-
bility for such moiety of the debt and interest on the con-
veyance of the canal to three trustees to be named ad hoe.
These propositions were acceded to by some of the leading
London houses, either creditors themselves, or representing
creditors, in May last. The act of accession was signed by
Baring Brothers, Frederick Hatl. a .1 Co., Maigniae Jardine
and Co., Rothschild., Morriso:., Sons and C. 0., Palmer,
14PKillop and Co. The home creditors of the State have
since been called upon to come into this arrangement by
advertisement and circular, but it does nut yet appear
whether Mr. Charles Butler, of New York, the agent for
this business, has been Clic to obtain their assent to it, so u
to enable him to carry it through.
Banking Shylocks discounting flesh and blood—taken in.
A circular, issued by the trustees of the bank of Alabama,
states that some months since, one Bryan Hines, of Greene
County, Alabama, executed to Mr. Hawn, of Tuscaloosa, a
deed of trust, securing to the said bank, on the payment of
over 60,000 dollars, a number of slaves, some CO and up-
wards, nineteen mules, and eight head of horses ; that since
the date of the said deed of trust Ilines had fled, carrying
with him all the property pledged, and that the present re-
sidence of the delinquent was unknown to the trustee:. In
view of this breach of trust the trustees offer for the recovery
of the property one-fourth of the amount it was to bring at
public sate, and for the apprehension and conviction of the
said Hines, against whom a true bill had been found for
swindling, a reward of 250 dollars.
It may be doubted whether the Shylocks will get the
pound of flesh. Hines will he off to Mexico fur a share of
the Mexican plunder. He will be one of the swindling
volunteers guaranteed by state laws from any claim or suit
fur debt, for a period of one or more years ' on condition of
joining the patriot armies of Taylor, Wool, &c. &c.
