Mr. Archer must congratulate himself on this
attack. All honorable, men will consider it an
evidence of his fidelity to the laws, and to the

Protested Notes-We learn on undoubted au-
thority, that on Wednesday last, post notes from
the Commercial Bank at Cincinnati, amount
ing to $13 900 were, presentedto the Schuykill
Bank in this City, and protested; that notes or
drafts amounting to $4,000 were presented
from the City Bank ofNew Orleans, on the Gil
rard Bank, and shared the same fate, on the
same day.

twenty millions of dollars. These Branch

Dense Populations this head New
York paper lately mentioned the case of over
100 people living in that city in one house. We
have since noticed, in a London Review, des-
cription of a section of that metropolis where 80
or 40 houses were occupied, as the visiting au-
thorities stated, by at least 1900 people, or an
average of from so to 20 in house. One do
micil of this kind contained 100 beds, which were
let tor the night to beggars and other charac-
rers of like calibre-in addition to the daily and
regular occupation.
