PILorAeE.--A funny story is told of Pat,
who to secure passage from Toledo to Maui
NEE, offered himself as pilot to conduct the
Steamboat Rhode Island up our river. "By
dad," says Pat. "Capting, Pm the man that'n
be after showing ye livery sand bar, and livery
shool, and livery bank in that same river" The
boat soon got under way, and Pat big with
the Importance of his station placed himself up
on her bows, to point out the right road. In
spite, however, of the skilful pilotage the Rhode
Island soon brought up on one of the bars
Faith! and didn't tell ye so, Capting n cried
Pat, delighted with his success. "Here is one
iv em, and when you get her of, I'll be after
showing ye another one as quick as ye please.

A NICE PolNT In LAw.--Blackstone speaking
Of the right of wife to dover, asserts that
"if land abide in the husband for a single mo-
ment, the wife shall be endowed thereof" and
he adds, that "this doctrine was extended very
far by jury in Wales, where the father and
son were both hanged in one cart, but the son
was supposed to have survived the father, by
appearing to struggle the longest, whereby he
became seized Of an estate BY survivorship, in
consequence of which his widow obtained a
verdict for her dover"
DEATH FROM THE BIrR or 4 silNK. .--On the

supposed, from the bite of q mink, being bitten
d few days before his death, which was sudden.
He belonged to Philadelphia.

!" for the Banks 10 resume specie payments at as
"enrly a day as practicable, and endeavor to
"maintain that position with as little pressure
"possible upon the interests ofthe public"
Several resolutinos were then offered, which
on motion, were referred to COMMITTEES Of five,
consisting of fMessrs. Jermain, Ketchum, Page,
Cobb, and Fargo, with instructions to report
upon the same at the afternoon session. At z
o'clock p. M. tile committe reported the fol-
lowing resolutions, which were after considera-
BILE discussion adopted unanimously by the con-
vention.
al. Resolved, That the interests Of the peo-
pie of this state, and of the banks, are SO in.
separately connected, that this convention en-
tertain confidence in the state authorities, that
every facility in their power will be afforded
to sustain the banks in the resumption Of spe.
Gle payments.
Q. Resolved, That the banks in the city O
Detroit, in pursuance of mutual understanding
had with their representatives now present, b.
requested to make an immediate negotiation fo
the sum ofone million of dollars, more or less
as may be deemed advisable, for sustaining
the interest Of all the sound banking institu
tons in the state, and to be applied to thei
mutual benefit, as they may require, upon sucl
terms as shall be mutually agreed npon.
8. Resolved, That the banks of New York

having been made between The chartered banks
as such, and the banks under the general bank
ing law, without reference to their solvency OF
credit, the banks represented in this convention
will in their business transactions, recognize nj
such distinction, but will receive and pay ouI
at their counters, indiscriminately, the notes o.
all the banks in this state, entitled to credit.
S. Resolved, That the papers Of the state bt

convention"
The convention then adjourned, sine die.

JAMES MYERS AND OTHERS VS. The CoRPoRA-
TIoN OF ToLEDo.--This case came on for trial
at the last term of the Court of Common Pleas,
on motion to dissolve an injunction sued out
by the said James Myers and others to prevent
the said Corporation from constructing bridge
across Swan Creek, stream claimed to be
navigabe under the construction of an act of
Congress. The motion to dissolve was dis
missed and the injunction sustained by the
Court.--Appealed. ....-
BY this decision the citizens Of Toledo are
cut off from the interesting piece Of wild land
upon the other side of the creek, which has been
designated as the site for the public buildings
of this county, and will be obliged to resort to
slow and inconvenient means of transit afford
ed by ferry boat to reach the seat of govern
ment. This seemed to be severely felt by the
corporation aforesaid, who, by their attorney,
groaned terribly at the cost of ferriage
especially, in the transportation of the large
number of PRISONERS who would of necessity
be obliged to pass, to the cost of six and one
fourth cents for each prisoner; which mon
strous expense must be paid, either by the de-
linquent or by the County, or the Sheriff, or the
court, or lost irretrievably Dy the ferry-man
himself! Besides-only think-the discomforts
of sea voyage to man who has crime upon
his stomach-or an ofice We are sad when
we think of it, and our thoughts are busy with
the Bridge of Sighs at Venice, the Water
Gate In the dark Tower of Londnn, and the
dark portals of Turkish Harem. Waiter,
bring us clean rag! We will indulgein in the
luxury of griefa few moments!
