Important from Merieo.-From the
Globe of the 9th instant, we learn that ac-
counts have been lately received at WASH
ington, from Metamoras, stating that the
master, crew and passengers Of the Amer
lean schooner Champion, captured by the
Mexican squadron, have been tried before
court-martial, and, condemned to death
AS PIRATES The Champion was cap
tured on the high seas, because she was
bound to port in Texas. laden in part with
provisions and military stores which were
forbidden by decree Of the Mexican Gov.
eminent. This is indeed new species OF
piracy, and the action of the Mexican Gov
eminent upon it as such, will require the
speedy and vigorous INTRRPosITION OF OUR
GOVERNMENT, to protect its citizens.--Dc-

uSUMMARY.-The contemplated Suspension
between the banks of the Niagara at Lewiston
and Queenston, will be delayed by hard times.
With most banks the effect has been the contrary.
They have fair prospects of bountiful harvest,
in Chautauquc county, N. Y. Why is il, that the
Canada banks have suspended specie payments 7
1t is strange; but no more strange than true.
The gainesville Republican says, "the Monroe
Times recommends the reelection of Gov. MASON
in strong terms" Very well-the reelection of
such governor cannot be recommended in terms
too strong. How much money shall man make
by swapping horses, to enrich tho community in
which he lives one penny Tor how long shall
the farms in Michigan, covered with the forests
and wildness Of nature, remain in the hands Of
their city possessors, to benefit tho cutivators Of
tho adjoining lands7 Or--once more--what would
the best lands in the state be worth if all the own
ers were non Notwithstanding them to gain from
their risc7 The balloon ascension at Buffalo, that
was to be on the 10th inst, Was not. The future
is attributed to the poor quality of the material
used to generate gas. Another attempt promised.
The trip of about eighty miles, from Rochester to
Niagara Falls, is performed in ten hours--by To-
connective to Batavia, stage to Lockport and loco
motive again, the rest of the way. The rail road
route between Rochester and Auburn, is TO be
surveyed and located the present summer Tho

IL From Mineral Point, Iowa county, Wis
consn, has come to hand the first number of a
pretty fair looking sheet, entitled the "Miners'
Free Freshly M. d. Holbrook. In politics,
candid, but "non committal." II states that lead
ore, in consequence of the pressure has fallen to
sixteen dollars per thousand, aud that there are
two millions of mineral upon the ground, at the
new diggings on Blue River
Though not pledged to the support of any pc.
ltical party the editor entertains correct viows
relative to the causes of the pressure. Among
other remarks, he says-"For the last eighteen
months, our own immediate section of country
has been the theatre of the most extravagant and
wild speculation. The gorgeless
hungry speculator, always on the watch for plum
dor, has bought up all the most valuable domain
within the reach of civilization, and by holding
on to it until he could obtain his extravagant
prices, has been blight upon our permanen,
prosperity" The 'odious specie circular is con
sdered measure of prudence, resulting in grea
good to the country--though accompanied will
the present evil Of driving to bankruptcy thos
land sharks who have graspcd beyond their mean
if that be an evil. It's continuance checks Oh,
speculation, and cuts off the inducements for tn
excessive issue of the banks. Of the pressure
embodied in single sentence, the Press gives on
own views, as we have before announced them
thus-"In the spirit of speculation and extrava
gance, in the rage of overtrading and overbank
ing, which has beset the country from one ex
treme to the other, we arc of opinion, the right
full cause is to be found"
Success attend every such Free Press.

~ AN Observer has made glaring expose
in the Globe. of the present condition the U. s..
Bank of Pa He lifts the veil and shows its con-
dition on the first of April and the first of May
last: The tables are made out from official re-
turns of the bank, and are of course correct. On
the first day of April, the balance due to Phila-
delphia state banks, due depositors and circula-
tion out, all redeemable there, was over twelve
millions Of dollars;-to meet which it had in spe.
Gle and notes Of state banks. only three million,
five hundred and forty-four thousand two hun
dred and eighty -one dollars.
The article is of two columns length and We
have room to-day to sketch only this just conclu
sion-that eff the bank had continued specie
payments, there is evidence, that demands fol
specie sufficient to stop 1t, would have been mad,
in two hours on the day it failed"

" We copy from the Free Press, the first
days proceedings of the legislature in detail
On the second, third and fourth days nothing had
been matured, though bills had been reported in
both branches, differing materially in their de-
tails. to authorize the banks to suspend specie
payments. A remonstrance was presented to the
House, from Washtenaw county against the pas.
sage of any law authorising the banks to suspend
specie payments except with certain restrictions
What the result may be, is quite uncertain.
The Senate passed resolution, to adjourn on
the 18th inst but whether the House concurred
or not, and the " conclusion of the whole mat
ter" we shall know and be able to inform our rea
ders next week.
