accusing the captain Of the steam Boat Car Of
Commerce With being the cause of the dread

Fron the POLITICAL Arena.

we regret that il has become our
painful duty to announce the melancholy
fate of Mr. P P. Barbour's motion to
sell out the Government Stock in the
Bank Of the U. 8.
This motion was cut off in the flower
OF youth, just when il was on the point
OF assuming its place anong the statutes
OF the land. Alas! how vain are all
our hopes whsn fixed on sublunary
things! The fond parent of this la
mented motion, was looking forward
with all the solicitdde of a doating ia.
theI, to the period when bis, interesting
spsout would produce sensation in Eu-
rope as well as in America. But break
we oh-our sympathies are strongly
excited to dwell longer on this lachry
nous theme. The infant giant died hot,
however, without causing his strength
to be felt-as will be seen by reference
to the subjoinGd article.
We observe that the news of Mr..
Barbour's motion, in the House Of
Representatives, to enquire into the
expediency of selling out the u. s.
Shares in the Bank of the United States
depresse3the Stock Of that Bank in the
New York Market, by Friday last, from
% l-a to 81 IA per cent Though e.
ven this depression might have serious
consequences to large holders of the
stock, is less than we anticipated. By
2 o'clsck this day it will be lower at
New York, and by o'clock ,s- morrow
it will be higher than 1t was before il
began to decline. So sensitive plant is
public credit, that even breath blasts it.
