BUBBLE BURST. The New York Com
mercial gives the following facts in rela-
ton to the question which was pending
between Michigan and Ohio. AT the
special session Of the Ohio Legislature,
an act was passed, forming from the nor
th1rn part of Wood county and the dis
puied territory, IA new county, making
Toledo the county seat, appointing Mon
day the 7lh, for the organic 'tion OF the
Court, and 700 troops were enrolled
to be in readiness to defend the dignity oi
the State.
Gov. Mason, Of Michigan, with 500
men, took possession Of the disputed ter
ritory. The Ohioans prudcntly deter
mined to effect their object by stratagem
For this purpose, orders were secretly
given 10 hold their Court before daylight
Consequently the Judges aud other OIL
GERS were assembled, all the business pre-
pared, and ere day dawned on the slum-
bering army Of Michigan, the Court
which il was their purpose to arrest, had
held lis session aud adjourned.

Miss Jane Porter, the celebrated En-
glsn authoress, has written letter to the
editor of the New York Evening Star, in
defence OF the literary character aud wri-
tings of N. u. Willis. She expresses
her surprise that Mr. Willis should find
"de,ractors" in the conductors of the pu-
blic press in his native country. Such
rebuke cannot be unfelt by those who
have taken such unbounded pains to de-
tract from tho literary character OF Mr.
Wills, coming as it does. from lady, aud
one Of so distinguished and so highly es-
teemed in this country as Miss Porter.-
Ii must be considered conclusive in itself
aud highly honorable to the individual to
whom II refers.
L, is stated in the Star, in speaking in
conncxion OF Mr. Willis with the N.Nork
Mirror, that It is tho determination OF
certain individuals TO put down that publi-
cation. We regret that such should be
tho fact. The proprietor have been at
great expense to enrich its columns with
the best talents Of the country and iot 50
doing he certainly deserves Q liberal sup

Bank of the United States. We have
been informed that the Bank of the U.
States has sold out its Branches in
Charleston, Baltimore, Lexington, Louis
vile and Portsmouth, to some OF the local
banks, and that negotiations are on foot
for similar transfer in two or more pla-
ces. or all the modes of winding up
such an institution, such process is the
most advisable 70, all parties concerned.
In the first place, the Bank will realize
its capital much more speedily and surely
than by collecting its own debts-and
In the second place, the debtors to the
Bank, by being transferred to another
institution, which is not obliged to tde-
mand immediate payment, can obtain
time on their accommodation loans, and
fresh discounts to meet business notes and
acceptances.
OF the terms Of these sales we are not
apprised-but we learn that the purcha-
sing banks have taken the whole current
debt at small discount, payable IN two
to five years, and at rate of interest,
which allows them profit on the trans
action. The managers Of the Bank de-
serve credit for their efforts in relation to
this policy, which cannot fail in those
places where it is adopted, TO obviate the
pressure which otherwise might result
