Tin CHAIRMAN said, that the reduction of the rete of'
discoing, - the rite- of Bxeliequez Bills, which were ode'
ae3ll. a premium, sheering se g eat a want of empleiyment
for money, were really things notoriouti and so Obvious.
that the Directors ninsidered It site uneecessarr to utake
an such statements.
The ,notion that 4 per cent. ith ibibetite dividend for the
next lialf-year was about to be at, when
Mr. °inanely again• rose. asked the proprietors
whether they would be cesium to declare a reduced dirlz
thigell without any explanation or knowledge of their =-
ewers? To resist this be wield now move, as sei amend-
'taint, that the dividend for the next half year should. be 5
per cent.
This motion was seconded by a Proprietor; whose aims
we could not learn.
Or. YOUNG.pressed,an answer to the question, which he
Witt pat, as to the declaration of the dividends.
Thstleiraistuaw said, he maid °sly state that the Court i
of Directors thought proper, after a mature consideration
of the present stare of their affairs, to propose a dividend of
4 per cent. The Court of Directors undoubtedly bad not the
power of looking into futurity.
A desultory debate ensued ; and in reference to the com-
plaints that had been made,
The tiovaastoa said, that the Directors of the Bank had
no wish to withhold any information from the Pro-
prietors, which the majority of them might choose to
ask for. Up to the present moment. the majority of the
Proprietors had negatived every proposition that had been
made to them for further explanation; and it could not,
therefore, he expected dist the Directors would afford such
extensive information to any individual that might think
proper to apply for it.
Mr. Guertin (the barrister) was of opinion that the
Governor of the Bank had placed the matter in a very
proper light. He understood his argument to be this—:hat
when any individual Proprietor asked a question, to which
the Directors, in their discretion, could not vouchsafe an
answer, it W 49 the duty of that individual to refer the •ex-
erase of that discretion to the Court of Proprietors, and to
see whether they would sanction it with their approbation.
He was himself as anxious to have a good dividend as any
of his brother Proprietors whom be saw around him. He
had, however, sufficient confidence in the wisdom and in-
tegrity of the Directors to induce him to support their
resolution for a dividend of 4 per cent., and to oppose the
r amendment of the honourable proprietor who proposed
to increase it to 5 per cent., not so much with a view of
carrying it, as of bringing the whale affair of the Hank
under consideration. If the honourable gentleman thought
that a further disclosure of their affairs would be for ti, i -
interest, let him bring forward such a propo.ition as a
specific motion; and urn that let the proprietary decide.
The amendment of al r. Gondrir was then put and nega-
tived; after which, the origival question was pat and car-
ried.

Peter Cochran was indicted for using and ex,r, lair;

a waggon through the streets of this city. The driciolan;
confessed the facts, alleged in the itidictnietit—loo towe•t
in arrest of jiulgusent, that they did not constitute an o;i'enco
at common lisv' or under any statute of the Commonwealth.
ft FIATCH Wt. Esq. his Counsel, supported the motieu
an ingenious and able argument. Col. Ausrt st, the Aoornee
for toe Comutonwealth, relied upon the order of the Colony
Government of 1641, " that no man shall exercise ant
tyranny or cruelty towards any brute creatures, which are
usually kept for the use of man.h• as sufficient tosupport the
indictment unless the defendant could show that it had been
repealed. The Judge, in overruling the motion, said, "that
the offence being charged in the indictment as a common
nuisance as well as against the statute, judgment might
be rendered against the defendant, if the facts amounted to
an offence at common law: and it was not material to I lecider
whether the order of 1641 was still in force, as no pstialty
was annexed to the breach of it. That order shews, however,
that our ancestors considered cruelty to animals as an offence
against good moral.., and may be regarded as evidence of
the common law of the State on this subject. Some years
since, one John 1.. Stone was indicted in this Court for :a
common nuisance in starting a horse to death. The in-
dictment was sitstaine.l, amide judgment was rendered against
him after arguineot. TO exercise extreme cruelty towards
a horse in the streets Oa crowded city is not only dangerobs
to the safety of persons passing at the time, hy.exciting•
the animal to desperate efforts to relieve hirn.elf, hot iv art
Outrage against humanity, offensive to the good feelings
of all the citisens, and therefore punished as a nuisance a"
common law." But as the defendant produced evidence of
his general good character in other respects, and that he wad
poor; and as he had been twice compelled to come from his
home. in New-Hampshire, at great expense, to attend
Cour', he was fined only s 5, and required to pay the costs
of Court.
At the June term of this Conrt, John Williams, convicted
of stealing privately from the person of iizsristio Gains;
at the Washington Theatre, a pocket-book,with its centaht-.
was sentenced to the State Prison for three years. • ,
John Frink, jnn. convicted of the offence of compoundinte
a felony, which had been committed privately on his parser..

before the Brand Jury, and giving testimony relative:vette-a
felony, according to his recognizance before the Polit4
Court.

Tea LATE MAIL ROBBERY.-111 ED article announcing
the late robbery of the mail, between Sinking Spring and
this place, the Editors of the National latelligeneer
serves—" It seems some of the people were indisposed to
assist in apprehending the man and keeping him in custo-
dy ; and the District Jadge who lives on the spot, refused
to take cognizance of the case until the Deputy Marshal
could he found to take him into custody. We should have
thought a constable sufficient to apprehend a mail Robber,
and a co.innon gaol quite good enough to bold him. This
is a strange country we live in : if a wan owes another a
dollar, he may be dragged to a loathsome dungeon, there to
linger out a miserable existence; but if he robs the mail, it
is a delicate affair to meddle with him—and if he is tried
and convicted, three months' imprisonment is the measure of
his punishment. Such is the case in Ohio at least."—
(Washington Paper.)
MAIL ROBBKRS PARDONED.—TWO of the men who rob-
bed the great mail between N. York and Elizabethtown,
iu 1819, and were sentenced to ten years imprisonment.
have lately been pardoned by the President. The other
accomplice escaped from prison sonic time since.
RECIPE TO ;MAKE MAIL ROBBERS —.Let three or font
scoundrels combine sad rob the mail; then let them be
taken, tried, condemned, and sentenced to prison for ten
yea's or mute.—When they have served a short time,-let
the President pardon them. By attending to these direc•
tions, the country will swarm with these villains before a
great many years.
P. S.—Those who are pardoned from prison will be far
better at the business than hands, as they will know
how to avoid former errors. The same prescription will
make good pirates.—(N. York Daily Ado.)
New YORK, JULY 14.—Cover OF SESSIONS.—A case
occurred on Saturday of a novel character, at least in pint
of slact, if not of principle.—Mary Blake, a black woman,
was indicted and tried for having on the 21st of Jane pro-
cored a quantity of the vegetab'e powder called Cow Itch,
and put the same in water and on a towel used by Mrs. B.
the prosecntrix, which caused her great pain and distress.
The fact was proved hya little girl employed by the prison-
er to procure it—by the declaration of the prisoner to the
little girl in the evening, saving—" by and by you will
hear Mrs. B. scratch," and by her own sithst quent full
confession. It was also shown that the article was of an
extremely irritating and inflammatory character, and
capable of producing great pain and of inflicting serious
injury.
Mr. Van Wyrk in behalf of the prisoner contended that
it was not an indictable offence; and that no private injury
conbl be thus punished, unless it was also a matter of public
concern.--In support of the law as laid down, he cited the
cases of M.M. Noah for breaking open a private letter,
City 11111 Recorder, vol. 3, p. 13, and of Wittenburg for
directing an innocent female, applying at his intelligence
office fur service, to a house of ill fame, C. H. R. vol. 3, p.
49. In those casts he contended that though emvictions
were had, the principle oar distinctly recognized by the
Comm rt.
