ture Of Pennsylvania contemplated the
taking of The road, when the toll-gates and
houses were put up.
MIR. CLAYTON opposed the whole bill on
principle. The improvement system was
designed as national SYSTEM and this
proposed cession to the states thro' which
the road passed, would be destructive of
this great principle, If the states were to
exercise unlimited jurisdiction over it.
Mr.. EWING replied, that it would not be
giving the exclusive jurisdiction over the
road to the state. Congress still retained
Its power over it. The states were the
agents of the general government. They
were to take only enough tolls for repair
ing the road. 1t must go out of repair, or
the states must take it under their control.
Mr.. FRELINGHYsEN thought this was one
OF the most substantial improvements of
the general government. 1t was highly
national object, and to stop 1t now would
be sounding The knel Of the system; and,
therefore, he was not in favor of it. He
had reason to believe, from the reports on
the subject, that by further expenditure
of or 100000, it could be put in com.
! it under their control
After some further remarks, Mr.. HEM
DRICKs withdrew his amendment.
Mr.. Preston then made some remarks
in opposition to the bill and then offered
the following amendment to the approprla-
ton.
"Prouided, The states of Maryland and
Pennsylvania consent to receive those por-
tons Of the road passing through their re-
Ispectve territories, upon the said sum of
100000 putting The said road in repair"
Mr.. WILKINS opposed the amendment,
because it would lend to defeat the bill.
He did not know the consent OF the states
could be obtained We must trust to their
good faith to take the road, and he doubted
not they would do so.
After some further remarks by Messrs.
CLAY, EWING, and KANE, the amendment
was disagreed to-

NEW YORK BANK MEETING

NEW YORK REPoRT.-The New York
journal of Commerce contains an impor-
'ant and very interesting report from the
Union committee of Merchants and others.
of which Mr. Gallatin was chairman, which
was submitted to large meeting of Mer-
chants exchange on Thursday afternoon
last This report discusses many impor-
tnnt points relating to The present state of
the currency Of the country, and presents
many important facts. collected apparently
with much diligence and care by the com.
miuee.
begins with a comparative statement
OF The loans ana discounts of he banks in
that city, including the three deposite
banks, sixteen other state banks. and the
branch bank on the st Of October last, and
the LIST of February last.-This statement
shows The amount of loans to have been
Oct l., 1874 1928, 609, and Feb. /. SS9,722,-
70 making an increase of more than five
mliions of dollars in the amount of accom>
modations. The discounts of the bank of
the United States had been increased, al
though the public and private deposites had
been diminished more than four millions of
dollars The committee had made stronr
representations to the directors of the bank
OF the United States, TO obtain an assnr-
ance that there should be no dminution of
their discounts or of the purchase of bills
OF exchange in that city in the two ensu
ing months. Upon this application, the
bank Of the United States had agreed that
there should be no diminution Of the pre-
sent amount of loans and discounts in The
city and state of New York, and that if
practicable there should be an increase in
the discount of domestic bills of exchange
at New York 10 the LIST of May, and that
within the same period the bank will not
call for the paymen. of such balances as
may become due to it from the CITY banks.
II being understood that the city banks shall
exercise similar forbearance in case the
bank of the United States shall become in.
debted to them. This arrangement is sub
lect to be changed in case of any further
hostile action of the executive against the
bank, or of any unforeseen event. The
committee express confident hone that
inc accommodations now given by the
banks Will not be lessened during the en-,
suing months. but do not hold out the OK
pectatlon OF any material increase.
They suggest as the only mode by which
relief can be obtained from an increase of
bank accommodations is some uniform nlan
or the increase "of deposites bearing a
moderate rate Of interest and not to be
oithdrdon before stated periods according
o agreement" 1t is singular coincis
lence that this committee should recon-
mend at this moment as measure of re-
let, the very practice which our legisla-
ure are in the act of prohibiting in this
tate. Upon the effect Of such practice
he committee remark:
The object Of this measure must not be
nisunderstood.-It cannot bring into ac.
ion any considerable portion Of inactive
capital, since there is hardly any
'hlch IS not at this time actively employed,
'ther directly, or indirectly, as ordinary
ank deposltes. Its only effect would be

FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS

AT rNrwpoRT.-To those at u distance
it must be gratifying to learn that the
cool, healthy, and invigorating climate
Of Rhode-I Island, and its Incompatible
sea-ba,hing, are now becoming general
ly known, and fully appreciated by the
great number Of fashionable visitors, who
arrive here during the summer months
At present, the town is crowded with
company-the streets are lined with car
riages, and the promenades with Pedes-
trians. From what we can learn, not
fewer than FIVE HUNDRED visitors were
obliged, during the last fortnight, alter
arriving by the steamboats,, to return or
proceed elsewhere, from the want OF ac-
commodations. What a serious reiec-
tjon,this is on the ,rant Of energy on the
mart of our citizens, and what Pecuni-
ary loss to the town. We hope, and we
have no doubt but an HOTEL, similar to
the fremont at Boston, will be soon c.
rected here. Fashion can lead the pub
lie no where in the summer months, but
to this spot; wealth may erect splendid
buildings as at Rockaway, and command
endless luxuries, but no human effort can
create a climate similar to that Of l'hode-
Island. This Island has long been de-
Nominated the "Garden Of America
both in the richness Of its soil, peculiar
beauty, and freshness OF its landscape
scenery The air Of summer is always
cool, and refreshed by sea breezes-
while the auuimnal months of September,
October, and November, are balmy,
bracing, and delicious; neither musqui-
toes nor any Doxious reptile are known IN
fbe Island-while its secluded and shady
roads offer delightful rides to the tourist
and invt;:d. To the sportsman, it is ce-
LIBERATED for it, game, particularly the de-
licious green head, and grass-plovors,
&c.-To the angler, its ponds and creeks
