Sal observed in your paper Of the lth
inst. statement taken from the New York
Commercial Advertiser, that "in the latter
part Of March last, one Of the branches Of
the State of Indiana, with a capital Of $780,
600, had in her vaults 100000 in specie,
mostly government deposites," &c. AS this
statement, if uncontrad,cted, will lead to the
conclusion that the Indiana Banks are I'M
necessarily boarding up :. large amount of
specie to the prejudice Of commerce, permit
me to state, from full knowledge Of the
fact, that although the branches Of our State
Bank are we'll fortified with available mon
ley to meet their engagements, yet at no time
has either of them had specie in their vaults
over one-third the amount named, nor do
they conceive it good policy to retain more
than is necessary to put them on a solid ba-
sis. Much Of the specie received through
the Land Offices by the deposite branches,
has been transferred out Of the State to meet
Treasury warrants payable at Louisville, and
The legislature Of the latter State, in accep-
ting the proportion ofthe surplus revenue to
which that State is entitled, did SO on condi-
ton that the sum be paid in specie.
On the 25th Of March last, the Indiana
Banks, with an aggregate capital Of |l,7O5,-
600, had an aggregate Of specie Of Sl,l53,-
AGO Is.
Very respectfully,

AN UNPLEASANT DILEMMA.

We are under the necessity Of correcting the an
nOunceirent in our last. that Joseph G. Marshall,
Esq had been spP"inted Judge Of the Circuit court
for this district, in the place Of Judge Eggleson ap
pointed Supreme Judge. The facts are understood
to he these: Gov. Noble rendered the appointment
Of supreme judge to Judge Eggleston on has signi-
Tying his willingness to accept il. He accordingly
had his commission made out and sent to Lawrence
burgh, that the judge might receive it his
way to hold the Dearborn court. That there might
be unnecessary vacancy of the office Of circuit
Judge he appointed J. G. Marshal to that Ofe, and
sent his commission to Lawrencebusgh at the came
time with Judge EgglestOn's, understanding that
the latter would resign either before immediate
ly after the session Of the Dearborn Court. Judge
Eggleston did not attend at Wilmington on Mon
day the first day Of the term, and it presumed
from that circumstance that he had resigned and
could not hold the Court. Judge Marshall had his
commission in his pocket, and having reason to be-
lieve that Judge Eggleston had resigned, and be.
ing strongly urged by the members Of the Bar, As
sociate Judges and other officers Of the court,
scented to be qualified and take his seat on the
Bench. lie accordingly presided the first day.
The next morning Judge Egglcston arrived at Will
miDg,on and took his seat the Bench, not having
resigned as was expected, and announcing his in
ten:ion not to resign, ond not to accept the SUI
preme judgeship. Oh course he is yet the circui,
Judge, Mr.. M4rshal's commission being void un-
I'll his resignation. Thss the matter stands, no
new appointment OF supreme Judge having as yei
been made.-Republican Banner.
THE GUILLOTINE.-Thisd dreadful machine
which terminated the existence Of 50 many unfortu

its name from Guilliot, physician, who invented
il. He recommended its general use, believing. as
did Petit, Cabanis and several other physiolog>ts
that il was mode Of death which caused no suffer
