On the 2lst ult., the house of Capt Stewart,
VINO had left home for the garrison at Halifax,
was discovered to be on fire, and in the terror
OF the moment Mr. S. repaired to a neighboring
house, leaving little daughter nine years Of
age IN the burning dwelling, under the impress
sion that she had been removed. A shrek an
nounced to those who had assembled, the peril
Gus situation of the child. To save her was
impossible; but a brother named Hugh, about
~ years of age, Immediately penetrated the
blazing building, and was extricated by persons
from without. He again dashed into the house,
ana the falling in of the roof terminated the
existence ofthese interesting innocents.

OF $4,000, and the ruin which it is to bring
upon the farmers Such tricks, to gain popu-
larlty, might possibly produce some effect in
community less enlig htened than ours, but we
have too much intelligence and sagacity in the
"body polite" to be imposed upon by such ar
tifices. The passage Of the act in question, is
an evidence of this, and of the omnipotence of
public opinion, when there is occasion for It's
strength to be put forth.
On the Rail Road question there is no oppor-
tunity to test the relative strength of parties
1t was agreed, on all hands, that the Senate
was very equally balanced, not varying more
than vote or two either way, and that, posi-
bly,, if vote had been taken, the decision
might have been with the presiding officer. In
the House, among such a multitude, it was
more difficult 10 ascertain the opinions of the
members. The majority was confidently claim
ed by both sides and it is more than probable
that number, sufficiently large to turn the
vote either way, have formed no definite con-
clusion on the subject, but will decide, from the
information they may hereafter acquire, con-
trolled, however, in some degree, by the influ-
ence of public opinion. 1t seemed to be gener-
ally admitted, that the Representatives were not
ready to act defnitively on the subject, and 1t
was postponed, by general consent, to the next
session.

DR. WATKINS. Tobias Watkins, late Fourth
Auditor of the Treasury, soon after his removal
from office, was arrested and committed to
prison, on charge, made by Amos Kendall,
his successor in Office, of fraud on the Treasu-
ry. The circumstances attending his arrest
were of an aggravating character, and much
pains was taken, by certain partizan prints, to
produce a conviction Of his guilt on the public
mind. Bail was offered, but he declined receiv-
ing it, preferrlng to remain in prison till his
case should be decided. Three bills of indict.
ment were found against him, charging him
with fraud, to all of which, his counsel filed
demurrers, on the ground, that the facts, sci
forth in the indictment, did not constitute
an indictable offence. After full argument on
both sides, on the two first indictments, the court
sustained the demurrer. and ordered the indiet
ments to be quashed. 1t was supposed the
third indictment would follow the fate of the
others, but the counsel for the prosecution, moi
being satisfied with the decision, argued the
case anew, on their side, after which the court
took time to deliberate on it, and, on the 18th
inst, gave their opinion, sustaining the former
decision, and certifying it with new arguments
and additional authorities. By these decisions
DIR. Watkins is holden to answer only in all ac.
ton for debt 1t is understood, however, that
he is prepared, and has been from the first, to
account for, and pay over, any balance which
may be found against him. Tho amount of the
detacaton is said to be about $4500

We understand that the Directors of Bank.
ing institution in neighboring county, finding
the difficulty and trouble of sustaining their
credit, and, at the same time, of realizing rea-
sonahle profit to the stockholders, to be greater
than any benefit which can be derived from the
institution will warrant, have determined to
bring its concerns to a close, and to return the
capital to the stockholders. 1t is thought that
same course advisable. The fact is, that nu-
merous applications are made for bank charters,
in places where the active business of :he vi
entity is not sufficient to require, or justify,
such an accommodation and the Legislature
have, in some instances, too hastily acceded to
the requests. If it requires skill and sagacity
to make banking safe and profitable, where
there is necessity for it, it must be vastly more
difficult, whore there is none. In such cases,
the circulation given to the bills, is a forced
and artificial one, attended, in its details, not
only with hazard but with expense, which must
affect, iniuriously, some portion or other of the
community.
The prevailing spirit of enterprise, and zeal
for local improvement, is laudable and advanta-
geous. so long as it is directed to the develop
ment of the natural resources of the country,
and to the creating of such facilities for the
transaction of business, as will, by the applica.
ton of capital, give permanent value to prop
erly beyond the amount Of the capital invested.
D,,k SC, fho
investment is improvdent, wasteful, and inju-
rious.
Among the modes devised to give a local i'm.
portance to place, the establishment Of Banks
stands prominent ; and they, too frequently,
prove, not only injurious to the public, but, a
source of trouble, vexation, and loss to the pro-
jectors. Many imagine that bank is the
abode of Plutus, from which he showers his
wealth on all about, and that its location must
| necessarily create business, and give life and
activity to it, where there was little or none
done before. Such, whenever the experiment
is made, will find their mistake. Two things
are necessary to the we'll being of banking
establishment,-cap not already engaged in
active business, on which it may be based, and
local business, to give active employment to
that capital. Instead of looking to the bank to
create business, it is the amount of active bust
ness in the vicinity, and the extent of money
transactions, that must be looked to, to sustain
the bank and make it profitable. The attempt
to force business into an unnatural direction
must always be futile or expensive, and the
bnnk which is obliged to look abroad for Gus.
toners, must generally be content with such as
are rejected by other establishments, or ofer
such terms, as must, while they create ar
other, diminish the profits or security to which
the bank is are justly entitled.
