AMERIC A.

The banking mania has broke out with fresh
violence at New York. There are at present
not less than sixteen applications before the
legislature, for new ban s—ten of thun to be
located in one city. Some of these applications
are, we believe, made in derision of others, and
certainly the legislature of that state will give
just cause of derision if it needlessly multiplies
these iustitutions.

(Extract of a Letter to the Editor of the Franklin Gazette,
dated Washington, Jan. 30.)
" The Bill for the more effectual protection of certain do-
mestic manufactures was taken up yesterday. Mr. Tod, the
Chairman of the Committee who reported the Bill, made a
.very able speech in its support. This day he was followed on
the same Aide by Mr. Holcombe, wlio took a very commanding
view of the policy of the country, which he illustrated by
reference to that of other nations in a very impressive man-
lier. Mr. Tatnall, of Georgia, replied with great warmth.
In the course of his speech, he called the Bill an "
nal Bill," and in conclusion said, that the people of his
" section of the country could not submit ;" that 1‘ they ought
not to submit," and that 44 by heaven, they would notsubmit."
Thus is the standard of rebellion to be raised in Georgia at the
very moment when she is earnestly engaged in trying. to make
one of her citizens the President of the United States. This
fact is a better test of the views of the Secretary of the Treasury
on the subject of manufactures, than can be found in the naked
denial of a•frivolous timeserving print in this district."

A letter from Rome says :—" We had yester-
day the requiem of CANOVA performed at the
church of the Saint A postoli. All the Acade-
micians attended, and his finest monumental
works were ranged in the church in. Gesso, and
the two noted lions were placed on escti side of
the door. The church was partially hung with
black, and the music and ceremony were very
imposing, The poetry was by MisEatra." The
same writer mentions that the Duke of DEVON..
MIRE has bought ail the modern sculpture of
merit in Rome.

On Friday last, Mary Algal:non, the keeper
of a brothel in Edinburgh, was tried in the High
Court of Justiciary in that city for the murder of
William Ilawat, who had gone to her house with
others in a state of intoxication, The Jury
found her guilti, but recommended her to mercy,
on what grounds it does not appear. The Lord
Justice Clerk, in passing sentence of death, Faye
her no hopes of any mitigation of punishment.
She was ordered to be hanged at Edinburgh on
the 16th April ; her body to be given to Dr.
Alexander Munro) for dissection.
