THE GIRARD BANK.

The reader must have seen the ac-
counts of the struggles, which have ia
ken place in Philadelphia, for obtaining
stock in the new Bank incorporated in
Philadelphia. The strongest bodied
men were hired to make their way to
the Commissioners and to take stock for
their employers. The clothes were strip.
ped from their backs, and blows were in
fiicted in the combat for stock The
competition must have been very animal
ed. The Philadelphia Sentinel of Sat
urdayl asst, states, "that Ii, 800 shares of
stock was taken yesterday. The crowd
OF anxious applicants was far greater
than on either of the preceding DAYS,
SO that, although four additional win
dows were open for their accommoda-
ton, the difficulty of approaching the
windows did not seem in the least di-
minished. 1t is understood, that the re-
naming part of the stock will be taken
to-day by the Commissioners"
1t seems that "by the bill chartering
the Institution, no less than one hun
dred and fifty-three Commissioners were
appointed, who conceived themselves
entitled to priority in subscribing
The act of incorporation contained this
clause
Neither of the Commissioners, nor
any subscriber to the stock, either i'm his
own name, or as an agent of another, or
through the agency of any one, shall be
allowed to take more than five shares
the first day, ten shares the second day.
o. fifty shares the third day Batifall the
capital stock shall not be subscribed for
on or before the third day, then sub
scription for any number of shares re-
mainigg unsubscribed, shall be allowed"
"As it was intended to run the stock
up in the market, the privilege of being
a commissioner was valued at from five
to seven hundred dollars. They assem-
bled and opened three WindoUs for the
accommodation ofthe miscellaneous null
titude, who might wish to subscribe"
These scenes are disgraceful-what
sort OF charter must ithaye been, which
makes arrangements, so exceptionable,
for the benefit offs host of Commission
ers.--Rich. Comp.

Much excitement has been produced
at New Paltz, Ulster county, New
York, from the fact that the skeleton of
a horse, with saddle and bride, has
been found tied to tree in thick
swamp, and appearances seem to warrant
the belief that the rider has been muir
dered or has made way with himself,
and the poor animal confined and left to
perish from starvation. The tree to
which the horse was tied, was entirely
stripped of its bark as far as he could
reach, and the front part of his shoes,
which were new and unusually thick,
completely worn up TO the hoof. The
whole affair as yet is involved in mys-
terry.

that the Committee will not begin TO 90
deeply into this matter until the tariff and

elected by this Committee, which will place
the fact that Gen. jackson and Major Ea-
ton desired to fill the pockets OF some oftheir
favorltes out of these contracts, beyond all
reasonable doubt.-W such a report
would induce any Interior action from the
House, may well bedoubted, unless the char
acter of the House could previously under
go a change. Atpresent there is little hone
that any measure tending to impeach the
course of General Jackson, in any of his
measures or motives, would he successful :;
and, if a design to commit fraud was made
evident, the only benefit to the country
which could accrue from the development
would arise from an extensive circulation of
the facts among the people, who constitute
