We have received from Baltimore, copy of
the Report of the Trustees of the Bank of Ma
ryland. The facts disclosed by this Report
are of the extraordinary nature. Ii we rightly
understand it, not only is the whole capital
stock of the Bank sunk, but its assets fall short
of paying its notes, debts, and deposltes by Sc
veral hundred thousand dollars! Some OF the
particulars of this statement are, indeed, almost
incredible. Int.
The Northern Wing, of Belfast, Ireland, is
one of the most decided and able OF the liberal
journals of that country. In the number Tor
the 7th ult the proceedings of President Jack

"Generul Jackson and the United States Bank
The hostility of General Jackson to the Uni
ted States Bank, instead Of being modified by
| the progress of commercial distress, appears TO
be the very reverse; and remonstrance only
tends to render it still more bitter and decided
A late New York paper gives an account OF an
interview which deputaton from the Mechan-
ics' Committee of that city had with him; and,
if the details be correct, we must say, that his
department. on the occasion, was more charac-
teristic of an irritable, selfwiled despot, than
BETTING the President Of the United States OF
America"
The Kentucky Integencer has published
decision made by one Of the State Judges, to
the effect that the Bank Of the Common
wealth'-a bank owned, we believe, chiefly by
the State, is unconstitutional, being in contra
vention of that clause ofthe Constitution ofthe
United States which prohibits the separate
States from issuing bills Of credit"
The case above stated is precisely similar to
one which argued before the Supreme
Court of the United States at its last term, in
which Mr. J. NJ White and Mr.. Wilde with
great ability took the ground said to have been
affirmed in the Kentucky State Court. The
case was held over for advisement by the Su-
preme Court, whose opinion upon it, will, it is
presumed, be delivered at the next term of the
Court.--Ndt mt
The report of the Commlssary General of
New York, relative to the awful attack on the
Arsenal during the recent election in that city,
has become standing joke. Poetry and prose
have both been employed to elucidate the wri-
ters' text, and the "fellow in a claret colored
coat" is likely to go down to posterity with the
"man in the iron mask" the abstract wonder of
the world, stat nominis umbr0." The editor Of
the Commercial Advertiser has, we THINK come
as near guessing out the real >"claret" as any
modern inquirer has in his attempts to discover
the author of Junius. He thus speaks:

sThe editors Of the Times, have number of
affidavits in their possession, proving beyond
doubt, that it was no other than Nick Biddle.-
He was seen to take large roll of United States
Bank bills from his pockets some of which he
distributed among few hundred mild, peace
able looking fellows, speaking foreign Ian

and hands armed with hickory clubs-whereup-

ward crowd of "bank bullies," who were
standing in a tumultuouS manner with their
hands in their pockets, looking with great vio-

sonic Hall, and doing nothing with all their
might, and then in the most quiet orderly, inof
fensive manner, proceeded to knock down these
DULLES with view to keep them still and pre-
serve the peace. All this was done to give the
DULLES pretence that they had been i'll treated.
Accordingly those who We're able get up,
