U. States Bank and BcnE Of England.
The New York Gazette of Thursday
has the following article -
= Important Rumor.--A rumor was
rife yesterday, in Wall street, that the
President Of the United States Bank
had declined to accept the proposition
of the Bank Of England, allowing the
former to draw on the latter institution
to the amount Of two millions ofpounds
sterling, one half said amount to be
transmitted to England at the maturity
of the bills.
The rumor stated that the President
Of the United States Bank could not ac-
cept the proposition unless the Govern
ment either repealed or so modified the
treasury order as to enable the bank
to obtain the requisite amount of gold
and silver.
Mr.. Biddle has recently been to
Washington, and probably communi-
Gated with Government on the subject;
but, whatever was the result, it cannot
be known until officially communicat-
ed to the public so that every thing in
relation to it must be rurnor merely.
1t is quite clear that no such arrange
ment could be made with the Bank of
England, without such measures on
the part of Government as would let
the specie of the country take its natu
raj channel--and as the rumor farther
bears, that the executive gave no en-
couragement that the treasury circular
is to be repealed or modified, all is gloo-
my yet, if there be any foundation for
the rumor. -
The National Intelligencer of Tuesday
says, s'In the case of RICHARD H. WHITE,
indicted in our Circuit Court upon charge
ofburning the Treasury building in March,
1888, and now tried on that indictment for the
third time, the Jury, after being shut up three
days and nights, came into Court yesterday
morning, again without verdict, declaring
that they should never be able to agree upon
one.-The jurors were, of course, discharged
by the Court
/ G5- New York papers say that large guam
titles of wheat are about to be re-shipped to
Europe, the prices had so fallen.
o. There appears to have been great
meeting of the citizens of New York, and
since of the citizens of Philadelphia, for the
purpose of sending populations 10 Washing
ton to address the President, or rather to beg
the President, to do something, which may
relieve the mercantile interests ofthe country
from the evils brought upon them by that
great financier, Andrew Jackson, aided by A
mos Kendall. But what can the President do
Was he not also, aiding in producing this
state of things? Did he not cry out loudly
for an ''uncompromising'' opposition to the
U. States Bank ?-and of course, the destruc-
| uou VI int C'Ilehcy do IL theH eA4otSe' 5tiie
best in the world, would be thrown out of its
lawful ranges, and the mercantile concerns O
the nation necessarily suffer. We hope, how
ever, the President may be induced, through
the influence of thesS begging Populations, to
convene the Congress Of the U. States, ant
give up all pretensions on his part, and on tht
part of his secretary of the Treasury, into the
hands of WISER and BETTER men, to regu
late the currency and the credit ofthe country
At the meeting in New York the following
preamble and resolutions were unanimously
adopted
"Whereas the great commercial interest,
Of our city have nearly reached point fgen.
