 We learn that the following officers of Washington College, Hartford, have resigned their posts within few months :-
 Rev. Saml. F. Jarvis, D. D. Professor of Oriental Literature.
 Wm. M. Holland, A. M. Prof. Ancient Languages.
 Rev. Slas Totten, A. M Prof. Math. and Natural Philosophy.
 Duncan L. Stewart. A. M Adjunct Prof. Ancien, Languages.
 Thos B. Church, A. M. and John Williams, A. B. Tutors.
 The Rev. Horatio Potter, lately elected President, has also declined the appointment.
 It is difficult for tomagine what cause can have operated to produce such result as the above. We do not understand that it has grown of any dsa- greement between the Trustees and Officers. It may possibly have arisen from the inadequacy of the re- sources of the College to meet the expectations of the learned and experienced Faculty should have been thus driven to throw up their appointments. It be- comes the Trustees of the Institution to bestir them selves The public especially the Episcopal portion fail 10 hold them to strict accountability for any in jury it may sustain.-N. Y. Courier.
 The above article was put in type last week, but from some cause or other crowded out-and we are glad so, for it gives opportunity to say on the authority of other publications, that it is gross misrepresentation It is true that two three ot the officers have resigned their stations but in conse- quence of other arrangements learn that the pros- poets of the institution are brighter than they have been for long time past. 0cr The Young Mems Society of Plymouth gave a public exhibition the evening of March 3ls where was present large and attentive audience. During | the exercises contribution was taken up to defray l the expenses. A considerable surplus remaining it was unanimously voted, that it should be appropriated to the American Bible Society.

 The Money Market n Nec- York In the Review of the Market for the past week. the Express of Sat- urday appends the following remarks:- During period of thirty years, in which we have been familiar with the mercantile concerns Of this cl- fdence than prevails at present. Many of our most respectable houses, that have been in high credit for number of years, have had to stop payment or ask an extension. Confidence appears to have gone. Cap italists who have the means leave their money lying idle in Banks, rather than investing Tn stocks or per sonal security. The public and private deposites in Bank are not less than fifteen or eighteen millions o dollars. The Banks, however, dare not extend them selves. and do very little more than renew the paper ever from England are decidedly better Letters by ers and among them some engaged in American bu siness, would have to suspend. If this had proved correct an immense amount of bills would have been returned and the consequences most disastrous For tunately, however, these ferebodngs have not been l realized.
 MONEY.-The panic has been greater this week than at any former period. number of our most staunch houses have had to stop, suspend ask for time. Confidence has been so completely prostrate that paper doubly fortified would not bring the cash The relief afforded by the U S. Bank, and the exten- sion of the Banks in discountng, has given some aid but not of character that has been general The U States Bank will now issue Post Notes payable here which will be of greater service than any thing else The advices from England are much more favorable than was expected
