THE DEPARTED TRIBES.
BY l. M'LELLAN, Ja.
They're fading, they're fading,
In solemn gloom away;
Like vapors on the mountain,
At dawning of the day;
They're falling, they're falling,
Like leaves in autumn time,
When in the woods the cherries breeze
Signs forth its hollow chime!
They're dying, they're dying,
Like those who feel at heart,
That stern consumption's finger =
Is reckoning to depart.
look upon the mountain top
Lo! all their fires are out!
| tread along the vallies,
Lo silent is their shout
Along the green marge of the lake,
Along the sandy shore,
Asolemn voice doth seem to say,
The old tribes are no more.
Their very names are all forgot,
Their ancient graves unknown,
And dim oblivion's shadow
Around them wide is thrown.

PENNSYLVANIA.

On Tuesday last, Mr.. Petrikin's able report,
concluding with the following resolutions, was
taken up i'm the Senate of Pennsylvania:
a. Resolped, That the present Bank of the
United States ought not to be rechartered by
Congress.
sites. which have been withdrawn from the
Bank of the United States, ought not to be re-
stored"
For these resolutions, Mr.. Boyd Ga Bank
many offered a substitute, resolving, That the
present Bank OF the United States should be re-
chartered"-that the withdrawal OF the Govern
,nent Deposites sis considered unconstltutlon-
al. illegal, and UNJUST and that the revenue
hereafter collected should "be placed in the
Bank of the United States"
On the question thus presented, an animated
debate took place, Messrs. Ringand, (Speak-
err Petrikin, Penrose, Dickey, and Reed, OPP

motion to postpone the whole subject was
lost; and then Mr.. Packer Can anti-mason) pro-
posed to postpone Mr. Boyd's substitute in IA
vor of the Bank for the purpose of Introducing
another declaring " that, in the opinion OF the
Legislature of Pennsylvania, Bank OF the
United States ought to be established during the
present session of the National Legislature"
The resolution ''for a Bank of the United
statesn was lost-11 voting for it; 81 against it.
The first resolution of Mr.. Boyd's substitute,
for the recharter of the Bank of the U. States,
was negatived-1O only voting for it; % against
it.
The second resolution of Mr. Boyd's substi-
tute. declaring " the withdrawal of the deposites
unconstitutional, illegal, and unjust" and the
means of producing the unparalleled degree OF
distress in monied affairs which now exists"
was also negatived; 10 for it, % against it,
The third resolution Of Mr. Boyd's substitute,
for making the United States Bank the public
depository, was then negatved: yeas II, nays
20.
The question recurring on Mr.. Petriken's res
outions against the Bank, and against the res
toraton ofthe deposites, was decided as follows
on the first resolution:
YEAs-Messrs. Cunningham, Dickey Fore,
Geger, Hopkins Kern, Klingensmith, Krebs
McCulloch Matthews, Middlecof, Penrose, Pet

lor and MISUNDERSTANDING
NAYs-Messrs. Baker, Boyd, Breck, fullerton,

On the second resolution, the yeas and nays
were the same as on the first resolution, except
that on the second Mr.. Cunningham voted in
the negative: the second resolution passing by
a vote of IS to IA.
This is considered decided triumph.

The Money Market.-A calm has for the last
eight or ten days succeeded the agitated state
in which the commercial community has been
involved during the three preceding months. 1t
is not however calm resulting from the con-
viction of danger passed, but rather the silence
which prevails when complaints are felt to be
unavailing and settled gloom takes place of
the cries of depair. We have no more failures
because the enga gements made in better times
have expired, and during the crisis no new ones
were contracted The rate of discount is a lit
tie lower, because good paper is scarce, no one
having been willing either to buy or sell on Gre
dit But under these circumstances, business is
reduced to a mere nothing compared with the
stirring scenes of former years. Industry is pa
rayzed by the want of confidence, and fear pre-
vents our immense resources being called into
action. This distressing position of affairs, so
severely felt in city where commerce is the
handspring of its prosperity, we feel convinced
can never return till the former harmony exist
ing between the national and State Banks is re-
stored to its former footing, not by species of
truce between them, like that brought about by
the Union Committee, but by perfect harmony
and concert of action, resulting from a cOncious-
ness that the interests of both are intimately
blended, and that the one is not a willing party
to gross injury inflicted on the other.

FIRE at the Merchants Coffee Ho~se.-About
three O'Clock on Saturday afternoon the roof
of the large and extensive building, occupied as
the Merchants Coffee House under the super
attendance of Mr. M. Sanderson, was discov-
cred to be in flames. The first notice of the
fire was communicated to Mr. Sanderson, by
person in the street. who saw volumes OF smoke
issuing from the roof, in the western side The
alarm was Immediately sounded, and our &C
tive fire companies were promptly on the spot.
The flames progressed downward no further
than the first floor from the roof, they being ar
rested by the infatgable exertions of the hre-
men, who by conveying their hose through the
interior of the building, operated directly upon
the fire, without the slightest waste OF water.
The upper floors of the Coffee House were
not occupied, and the furniture from the hfst
and second floors was all removed, so that the
actual loss is only the roof of the building, and
the inconvenience which Mr. Sanderson Will
sustain, in being obliged to take possession OF
the Exchange, day or two earlier than ne IN
tended.
The fire originatedit is believed from sparks
from steam engine Immediately in the rear
of the Coffee House.
