The editor Che Portsmouth Journal has obtained
from the books of the banks in that town. the names
of all the stockholders together with the amount of
stock owned by each. There are six banks with an
aggregate capital Of 947 500 Thiscapital is owned
as follows: l9s,650 by females; S206 $50 by farm
by Savings Institution; $58,950 by guardians;
S5l $50 BY unsettled estates; $4S,250 by charitable
institutions; 37 $50 BY corporations and the State;
s32 690by officers S27 400 by mariners;
$4,000 by small traders; $4, 200 by lawyers $25,-
400 by merchants. Taking into the estimate the
deposies in The Savings Bank, 1t appears that one
fourth Of the capital stock is owned BY females.
II will also be seen that the Laboring class of
males, or the Mechanics, Farmers, and Laborers,
with their Quota in the Savings Bank own nearly
another fourth part, And taking out what belongs
TO miners, estates, charitable institutions, &c we
have very small proportion lef to the credit of the

States.
! The Senate proceeded 10 the further con-
sidcraton Of the Sub-Treasury bill. Mr.
Robbins spoke about an hour and half in
opposition to the bill. Mr.. Benton followed
in favor of the bill, in opposition to all Banks
and Banking, and in vindcation of the pre-.
sent prosperous condition Of the country. Be-
fore he had concluded, he gave way to mo-

proposition under debate being motion OF
Mr. Mckay OF North Carolina, 70 strike out
the appropriations for the salaries of tho con-

ground OF opposition was, that the consuls at
other ports have no salaries, and all should

proposed is $4,000 to each. No question was
taken. Several memorials on The subject of

opinion confirms and fixes our respect

point at which their presumption and
tyIannous disposition will be rebuked
and effectively stayed. The force OF
this allusion cannot be well understood
unless by quotations from the opinion,
which we have it not in our power to
make. The substance Of one passage,
however, we venture to state from me
mory thus. The argument that the Of
fccr of the Government in this case was
responsible to the President Of the u.
States alone for the discharge of the du-
ties imposed upon him by law, is entitled
to no weight to recognize its validity
would be vcsting in the President dis

any part of the Constitution it would
be to impute to him, in effect, power
TO control the Legislation Of Cong>ess.
