ter Is the same with tue single substitution of dollars for pounds. It Is in words and intention standing authority to borrow that limited sum- for the obvious purpose of preventing the constant keeping of asum of money in hand as reserve to meet contingencies which hardly ever occur This contingent authority to effect d small loan has often been used in Eng land-in the United States, never possibly, because there has been no occasion iort |; probably because the clause was copied mechanically from the Eng
 fish charter and without the perception of its practi- cal bearing. Be this as it may, it is certainly wise and present provision such as all governments should, at all times be clothed with.
 Ifany Senator thinks that have exaggerated the injury suffered by the United States on account of the uncompensated masses of public money in the hands ofthe Bank, am now going to convince him that he is wrong, ] am going to prove to him that have purposy kept back large part oft; and that justice requires a further developement The fact is that there two different depostes of public money in the Bank; one in the name of the Trea- surer of the United States the other in the names of disbursng officers The annual average of the for mer has beer about three and half millions of dol lars and of tlis have been speaking the average of the others about million and half and of this have said not q word. But the esse al character ofboth deposes IS the same they are both the pro- perty of the United States; both permanent: both available as 10 much capital to the Bank; and both uncompensaed.

Extract of a letter from an Officer in the Army, dated Cantonment Leavenworth, (32O miles above St. Louis, Missouri,) 10th March, 1881, to gentle man in Philadelphia.
 Yesterday an express arrived from the Bluffs, bringing information that Mir Vandeberg's party was attacked by the Black Feet Indians, on the Madison Fork of the Missouri The Indians attacked them in camp, at the dawn of light in the morning, and fought all day. At dark the Indians withdrew and left forty killed and number of horses the wound ed not known, as they carried off; but from the appearance of blood supposed to be a number. MT Vanderberg had one killed and two wounded. This information was received through MT M'kenzie, who is at the Mandan villages No further news from Upper Missouri was received of any impor- tance."-Nnt Gaz

PARIS, FEE. 21.-(News of the morning )-An express which left Basta on the 18th current, and arrived at Toulon the 18th brought the news that the kingdom of Naples, the whole of Romagna, the Duchies of Lucca and Pombino, the Dutchy of Mo dena, and almost the whole of Tuscany, were in a state of instruction and that Italian tri-coours were every where hoisted without opposition. It is also said that an extraordinary courier arrived yesterday at Marsees, who brought the intelligence of an open revolution at Genoa where the troops had talk en the side ofthe people.
 MoDENA, Feb. II At the moment of my writing, the city is tranquil. Bologna and all Romagna have broken the arms of the Pope and restored the Lion and the tr-coloured flag. Parma and Piacenza have followed this examples: the National Guards is or ganlzed. All persons imprisoned for political of fences, have been set at liberty. Part of the Dukes troops have retired to Mantua; the soldiers have en- tered the Austrian service.
 LONDON Feb. 21.-The Italian Patriots have proclaimed the "Union of Italy" It is said that the lnsurrection has extended far south as Civita Yes cha and one letter states that the tri-coour floats the cnpola of St Peter's, al Rome The Bolognese Provisional Government has issued proclamation, headed Liberty, Independence, and Union,"-in which it is said, that tall the Italians will join to de- liver their beautiful country from the degrading yoke of foreigners"
