EAGLE AND DERBY BANKS.

In the Connecticut House Of Repre-
sentativcs, on Monday, May 9th, res
oIution was called up, to appoint y joint
committee to investigate the concerns
Of these banks. Mr.. Shepherd object
ed to any interference on the part Of
the Assembly, in the business. He de-
nied the constitutional power Of the
Assembly to examine more into the
concerns ei those banks, than into those
lof private individuals. That the House
had no authority to Compel the atten-
dance witnesses, on that subject
aud il that power should be exercised,
disobeyed and the offenders imprisoned
writ Of habeas corpus would release
them. He contendcd that tho power
q 10 alter, amend or revoke" tile char
ter, did not include the power ID ex-
anime the books or papers of the In
stitntion, but would viola the Consti-
tuition. Nor could a corporation be
compelled, more than an individual, to
furnish evidence agains: himseli--so
become the foundation of SUBSEQUENT
proceedings, which might deprive j: Of
It's chartered rights. te@r
These opinions Of Mr.. Shepard, were,
however, as might have been expect
ed, too heterdox for our sister CoHnect-
icut, and he was the only meu.ber Of
the Hsdse who appears to have doubt
ed the jurisdiction of the assembly
others considered these banks To be
the creatures Of the Legislature-par
ticularly the Eagle bank., which in di.
rect violation Of its charter had Issued
paper beyond the capital, frvn which
| its disasters originated. What had been
done was thought proper subject for
Investigation. The powers retained
} by the Assembly necessarily comprised
/, the ipower to investigate. Neighbour
|, ling States, Congress and the Parlia-
1 ment Of England bad ex s,cised similar
powers. The state had exercised i.

Island are probably not aware that
Banks have existed in Connecticut from
time immemorial.) The State had I

Deliberate VnlaNy. On Thursday
morning last, while the sagacisus
Elephant Betty, which has recently
been exhibited in this town, was
travelling with her keepers towards
Connecticut. having Just left the
village Of Chcpachet, in Glocestcr,
two guns were discharged upon the
poor animal, within about Is feei
of the person who was leading her !;
five bullets from which, penetrated
the brain, and caused 1cr to fall and
almost instantly expire upon the spot.
Tho wrctches, immediately made
their escape, and although great ef-
forts have becn made by the inhabi-
tantS in that vicinity, and the prop.
ciauthorities, to detect the villains,
they have thus far avoided discovery.
