 Another Convention of the Officers of the Banks from the states of Massachusetts Rhode Island Con- necticut, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virgil na, Kentucky and Missouri was held in Philadelphia last week; and after considerable consultation it was resolved that specie payments should be resumed by the different Banks on the 18th day of August the time specified by the Governor of Pennsylvania in his recent proclamation. Letters received from a great number of Banks not represented, pledging themselves to abide by the decision of the Convention Thus resumption of specie payment will soon be gen eral throughout the country. ef E
 The exact majority for the Governor of Louisiana, in all the parishes is only sa5 for Roman. instead of 1000, as has been stated in many of the papers, His majority was probably considerably lessened-he ha. wing majority against him in the cy-from the cir. cumstance that he was supported by "The Bee" the leading Van Buren paper in the city; while White, the whig candidate for Congress who had the Bee to oppose him, received majority of about 600 in the same city. The very circumstance of wliig being supported by loco loco organ lessens his chance of success, as in this case It throws shade of susp cion around him which he should endeavour by all means to avoid.
 Fa,e ef Van Buren.--Tn letter published in the N. ". Express of Monday last, and dated at Saratoga Springs. July 2ssh where great many of the leaders of the Van Buren party are every summer congregat. cd and which serves as sort of focus to concentrate public sentiment. we find this paragraph ..

 This, we doubt not, is in accordance with the senti- mens of the party every where They feel as though ther leader was "prOstrate," and they are looking about for another cheftain upon whom they can rally ,her scattered forces with prospect of success than upon him. The rpell of the Magician is gone- she charm is broken-hs sceptre is sdeparted-" Mene Tekel'' is written upon his lrontlet

 We perceive that some Of the papers in New-York are recommending the name of Judge Ogden Edwards. brother of Henry W. Edwards.
