copy the following inferrnaon from the Darien Tele
graph, of 18th inst. -
Bank Of Darien.-We are authorized to state that
the Mother Bank at Darien hasredaced the ejaculation
OF lis bills under thirty thsusand dollars and an
tlcpaes very shortly 10 make even that small amount
much lower. We hope other papers will notice this
fact.
[From the Arkansas Times, Of May IL
SHOCKING BARARITY-IF TRuE.-We Understand
the removal of the emgrant Creeks has been let 70
the lowest bidder, and that those unfortunate men,
travelling on foot urged forward by white savages
on horseback, rate beyond human ability! through
swamps, briars and bushes-some quite Naked and
some nearly SO, and without sufficient susenance-
ana that numbers drop dead on the way what's our
country coming TO? 1t is said those men were allowed
SO much money 10 feed the Indians on Their journey,
but pocketed the bes; part oft!!!
SO much for the CREEKS.
THz CHEnoKEEs.-Some Of the Cherokee Chiefs
are now IN this city, and report says they have been
10 see the lands appropriated TO them over the Mssis-
sippl and that it Is the mere refuse Of government
lands, being co cred with swamps and stagnant wa
ter and that TO settle upon such lands would De GER
tain death !
Its with regret we find the above article going the
rounds OF the Eastern papers so tar from the emf
grating Indians receiving the ll-reatment set forth
ADORE they are mostly transported IN STEAMBOATS, at
least as far as the navigation of the Arkansas river
will permit, and then wagons hired for the trans
portation Of their baggage and provisions for their
subsistence The usual days march IS from III 10 IA
miles-giying them time to hunt as they proceed On
their journey, and ten delaying three or four days in
one place. So far asst has come under our knowledge
there's not the slightest cause Of complaint to be made
against the conductors OF parties which have already
been removed TO the west of Arkansas.
The remarks in regard TO the lands allotted tor the
Cherokees is without foundation IN fact. Having
travelled through greater part OF the Cherokee
country, can say with TRUTH that the section OF
land allotted for the future homes of this tribe COM
prses the choicest part of the lands west
of the cotton growing region The Cherokees VINO
have removed TO the west and settled themselves nave
tur For, ~an1 hn.,an nlan nf efn
every way better calculated to live comfortable, than
are the most of frontier settlers. There IS one
other advantage the Indians have IN their new coun-
ry-that 49, they can raise the same quantity OF gram
here with half the labor that they could in the old ma
ton. As regards the healthness OF their new loca-
ton, IT IS like all other new countrles-more or less
sckly until they have become cllmated and accus-
toned 10 the change of water.
We de not believe that any OF the chiefs who have
visited the nation west of Arkansas, have made any
such statements published above, and if they have,
it has been without the least regard TO truth

UPPER POLICE, May 26.-A foul A6air.-A chap
named Henry Jones, who IS supposed to have his
whereabouts at Manhatanville, was yesterday ar

was discovered pedling them in Mulberry street. near
Bleecker street, and giving evasye answers as TO how
he became possessed of thcm taken into custody
and, upon hearing before the magistrates, was COM

lost fowls about Manhattanville were to call at the
Upper Police Office and sndeayor to identify the fel
low.
| Burglary-A few nights since the house Of Mr..
Charles BlIss Ne. Al Broome street, was broken zto
and large quantity Of clothing stoler. The thieves
also carried away some wearing apparel that had been
washed and was then wet, besides which they took
away trunk carried it into lot, broke il open and

some western lands which it was supposed the rob-

outrage were, on Wednesday, arrested by the officers
above named. Their names are Alexander Wiley and
John Ward, both old State Prison birds and desperate
characters. The thieves effected entrance by burst

rife the house, the inmates being asleep. This is one
ofthe most daring burg ares committed for some time
| and great credit is due 10 the officers for the
promptness with which they apprehended the villains
| We may well mention that any one having found
the deed will be literally rewarded by leaving with
Justice Palmer at the Upper Police.
