IL Is said, there is much speculation at Washing

a renewal of its charter this winter.-We believe it
was the n lnteligcncer, which, in commenting up
on Mr.. Wayne's motion of reference, indiscrceiy
claimed for the Bank more than 9 to 1-while, we
understand, II any, it will be bare majority-This
vote has, however, probably encouraged the Presi-
dent OF the Bank; and highly respectable citizen
of Philadelphia Gen. Cadwallader) is now said to be

III is added that the Secretary of the Treasury has
frankly told him that fhe Bank move i'm it this WIN

not hesitate to advise the President to reject the
bill 1t will be apolitica man9uvre, which, partic-
ularly after what has passed, the Secretary will
scarcely sanction and satisfied, the President
will not-Ihe Opposition will probably urge the
Bank on. III they succeed, it is believed the Bank is
gone.-The President will eo right i'm the premises,
with or without the Secretary's advice.

Fehoic Citizens The Address of the National Re-

hcortess coalition in characteristic style of compositions

Awtuy perous, indeed, when we look TO the complexion
OF that Convention: more especially when see, in the
Virginia delegation, who dcscrvedly rank high for
their talents and whore patriotism has heretofore been

The high importance of this office, i'm itself,

necessary that it should be filled by a man

~ " DIRK, June q.
The Edward Quesnel, Capt. Pierce,
from Havre, brings intelligence from
that place of the 9TH of May and from
Paris to the 1th.
1t affords us great satisfaction to be
enabled to announce the mitigation of
the pestilence in Paris. On the 9Th, in
nine ACCOMPLISHMENTS, the whole number
of deaths was about 22-of which "
were women, and men. This number
was a diminutiOn of rs from the proceed
ing day. In the 9TH, 9Th, and 18th ar
Tondissments, there was not single
death from Cholera on that day.
M. Casimir Perier continued in a
state of mental alienation on the 18th of
May. lie had been continually singing
since the preceding day. 1t is remark
cd that the physiognomy Of the Minis
Ter, particularly the expression of bis
eyes, had long since indicated a predis-
position to insanity. His physicians,
however, still hoped to save him. Mon
talivit still continued to perform the du-
lies of Prime Minister and, according to
some OF the papers, seemed determined
that his ephemeral performance of such
service shall be marked with some new
appointments. On the 3D. ofMay after the
Cabinet Council, ne was engaged with
the Minister of Justice in replacing and
changing many Of the Proce1curs, Gen
erals, Advocates General, and their sub
stitutes. The Minister Of the interior
has also directed his attention to the
changes which ought to be made in the
prefectures It is said the Perfect oil

AWFUL EXPLOSION.

A letter from the editor of the Buffa-
10 Journal dated 10 o'clock, Sunday
morning, to the Editor of the Rochester
Republican states that Just as the Steam
boat Niagara, left the wharves of that
city for Detroit, her boiler burst with a
terrible explosion shattering and carry
ing away large portion of her decks.
There were about 300 passengers on
board and nearly as could be ascertain
ed at the time, about 80 were more or
less injured-25 of the number were
either killed or blo,cn orerboard and
dro,cned. Much blame is attached to the
Engineer, though with what justice we
cannot say.-Fredericksburg Herald.

ooPious descriptions of all its divisions,

Grenoble is TO be replaced. Decazes

The South Of France, as will be seen
from the following extracts, is far from
being in quiet state.
PARIS, May 2.-This morning, at IL
o'clock, a telegraphic despatch from
Marseilles was received at the Office of
the Minister fthe Interior, announcing
that in the afternoon of the I'd, until il
o'clock at night, the town continued in
great agitation. The despatch termin-
ates by saying, that in the night of the
9th and 9th courier would arrive
at Paris with details of all that has
occurred. 1t is, however, said. that
tranquility appears about to be restored.
The disturbances seem to be move
ment ofth CarliSts. The Moniteur of
the Sd May, says "for three months past
government has been aware ofthe exis.
tence of intrigues with view of caus-
ing Carlist Instruction at Marseilles
and on the coast. 1t was known that
with this view an active correspondence
was going on between that place, Paris
and Italy, and that travellers of more or
less distinction, but all equally devoted to
the Legitimate party, arrived one after
the other, but particularly. of late, car
rylng orders, counter orders and intelli.
gence.
At one time, it was on the 18th or
Doth March. at another time ON the 9Ist
OF April afterwards definitely m the
18th, that all was to be ready for an o.
pen instruction.
A debarkation of troops was spoken
OF, the name of Madame, the Duchess of
Berry, was mentioned. A plan of the
coast near Martinique, had been taken
funds had been received by those indi-
vIduals most deeply concerned in this IN
trigue.
1t was also known through different
channals, that Madame the Duchess de-
Berry, had endeavored to purchase the
steamboat st. Colombo, and that the
Charles Albert waited her orders.
Proper orders were in consequence
gwen some time since. At Marseilles
as well as at Lyons, every measure was
taken to paralyze these seditious demon
STATIONS, and to put the authors of them
into the hands ofjustice.
HOLLAND AND BELGIUM.
The Russian ratification of the articles
oisettlement between those houses, has
been received in London; but still the set
tlement seems to be some distance off as
the letters and papers from Holland wear
a hostile aspect.
ITALY.
An amicable arrangement had been
made with France, in relation to the oc-
cupatlon of Ancona g. both the troops of
Austria and France are to evacuate that
part OF the Papal territory Simultaneous
~. The last reinforcement of 400 men
from France, were to leave Ancona i'm
mediately. The question has been ar
ranged with the greatest harmony be-
tween France and Austria. But the
question arises: what was the original
object of these expeditions? 1t has
accomplished nothing.
ALGIERS.
Public attention in Paris was again
diverted to the affairs of AIgiers. Bona
had been taken by coup de main.-
Emigration, on large scale. was talked
OF in Paris, to Algiers, under the auspi-
ces of Marshall Clauzel, who was spoken
OF as the probable governor of tigiers,
as soon as M. Perier should cease TO
form part of the ministry.

FROM THE KANAwHA BANNER.

Loss Of the Steam Boat HOrnet-We
regret 10 state that the Steam Boat Hornet,
on her passage from Cincinnati to this place,
on Saturday last, was capsiZed in a tornado
near Portsmouth, Ohio. Many lives were
lost, including that of the Captain, Mr.. J.
Sullivan, highly respected citizen of this
county. The following letter from the Clerk
OF the Boat to gentleman in our neighbor-
hood, which has been sent US for publication,
furnishes the only particulars which have
come TO our knowledge:

am under the painful necessity of
communicating TO you one of the most
awful occurrences that ever happened
on the Ohio River. On this day, about
3 o'clock, there came up one Of the
mosttremendous hurricanes ever known;
and in very few moments after it com
menced, our boat was bottom upwards.
The scene was dreadful beyond descrip-
ton; and what made it more so, Captain
SuiiirGn Yves lost together with one of
the Pilots John Joknson.) A young la
dy from GreenuP, and the chamber
maid, were also lost We suppose, from
the best Of orr recollection, that between
thirty ana forty were drowned. We
were crowded with both cabin and deck
passengers. Our situation is dreadful
indeed. We likewise lost all our money
and clothes. For my own part have
nothing n the world but shirt and pan
falcons. We are, however, among peo-
pie ef the kindest feeling. They turn
ished us with dry clothes and comforta-
bic fires. Capt S. has not yet been
found but we shall proceed tomorrow
to hunt him, and to secure the remainder
Of the wreck. We had great deal of
freight for Kanawha."
