The selling price ofthese policies, (whose pa
rent, or atIeast nurse, was in the removal OF the
public deposites from the Bank of the United
States, has been from to % per cent. per
month discount and, at this rate, there is rea-
son to believe that several millions have Deen
SHAVED in Baltimore within the period OF the last
six months. 1t might have endured yet Wniie
longer, perhaps-but confidence in these poil
cies declined or their amount was greater than
the state of the money market would bear, and
it became difficult to sell them; and then 1t ma
turally followed, that, as the insured could not
raise funds to meet their obligations, the insurers
were rendered unable TO comply with theirs, and
the parties fell together-though in fact, either
party, or both parties, may be, or would be, en-
trely solvent in different state of affairs when
credit and money should be nearly synonymous

First Congressional District-We learn that
the contest to represent this district on the Eas-
tern Shore of Md. is now between, Mr.. Stewart,
the Jackson and Mr.. Steele, the Wing candi-
date. Ex-Governor T.. c. CARROLL has with
drawn from the contest, and intends to vote for
Mrs. We learn that Governor K. has une-
quivocally declared himself in favor OF the U.
S. Bank-opposed to the removal of the Depo-
sites-in favor of their restoration-ag ainst the
PROTESTANT indeed that he is in favor of all
the great principles of the Wing party. He is
no longer regarded as Jackson man by those
who still wear the collar and follow the desper-
ate fortunes oftheir Chief The spirit of liberty
is spreading far and wide upon the Eastern
Shore of Maryland as well as in Eastern vlr-
ginia. The alarming and overshadowlng pfin-
ciples avowed in the Generals Protest. 1t is evil
dent, will be rejected by the people every where.

Beware hon, uou NEEDLE NTH Yankee.-On
Monday last the inhabitants ofthis borough were
not little amused with the folly oftwo persons,
who seemed no less amused with their own
nonsense. Early in the morning an argument
of some warmth took place between them up
on the merits of masonry and antimasonry.-
One ofthem was Yankee, who advocated an
timasonry with a tenacity that did not at all &C
cord with the feelings Of his opponent.
AT length his opponent offered him five dol
lars if he would set upon post at the door OF the
Hotel. in the open street, and lecture upon anti
masonry from that until the setting of the sum-
The yankee met the proposition at once; the mo-
ney being staked, he mounted, not the rostrum,
but the post and there he sat reading antl-na-
sonry to a multitude of boys, and now and then
to passing adult.
Towards noon he was offered one dollar ana
a bottle of wine if he would get down, which
he refused About noon he was offered two
dollars and half if he would descend the oatre
pulpit, but he stuck to his bargain until the sun
had entirely descended the horizon, and ne OBJ
tanned his five dollars before quitting his post
