 Gen. Scott aud our NeutrGlty.-We are of opinion that there is a great deal of misappre- hension as to the powers with which Gen. Scott is invested in order to preserve our neu- trality on the Niagara frontier. It is true that he has no more right to assault the in- surgents on Nauy Island than if they were Gt T0ronto or any other place in the interior of the Canadas; but he may, and doubtless ac1H, establish his camp at Schlosser, and place his sentinels along the banks of the river from the Falls to that place and on the north end of Grand Island-and he may and will prohibit any person oil any pretence whatever, from passing the lines thus established and guard ed. If an American citizen desires to pass into Canada, he will be told that he must cross either below or above the parts of the shore thus occupied as camp; and thus, not man will be permitted to go to Navy Island, and the Insurgents there assembled, will literally be slarved out and forced to abandon their po- sition without any violation of the British soil or any stretch of power on the part of Gen. Scott.

ton. HewaS sure it was one of the Pet Bankat and opposed to the renewal of the charter of the U s. Bank.
 Mr. HUBBARD, of New Hampshire, appearS ed to be in high dudgeon at the answer of Mr. Webster, and vindicated the Collector of Boston, and the Secretary of the Treasury, in strong and high terms of praise. In con. cluson Mir. H. asked, if he intended to insin- uate that the Collector of Boston, or the Sec- retary of the Treasury, had paid out Com- monwealth Bank bills knowing them not to be good.
 Mir. WEBSTER said he intended to insinuate no such thing. But since MT. H. had ques- toned him, he would exercise a privilege of ms countrymeD, and guess the Senator from New Hampshire knew something of the re. lationship between the officers of the Govern mentand the Commonwealth Bank of Boston.
 Mir. HUBBARDupon his honor knew nothing, but he hoped that since the Senator had ex. pressed wish to have pensioners paid in gold money notions of the Administration. MT. WHISPERS reply was, can't mount that hobby. It is broken down and fallen to the ground" MT. w. said he was in favor of paying specie, or it's ca uivalent, to every man whom the Government owes dollar. MT. HUBBARD argued that if public credit ors had taken Commonwealth Bank bills, they had taken them to ETHER HEARTS CON- TENT" If one man was content to take Con- monwealth Bank bills for the debts due him, he ought to be satisfied and consider his debt satisfied.
 MT. WEBSTER, in reply, said an extract from letter before him stated" We have asked for gold and silver and Treasury notes -our answer was, we must take check up- on the Commonwealth Bank or take nothingI" Was this right! Was this the law! Was it doing nothing wrong! The Collector of Cus- toms thus paid fishing bounties in cheeks up- on the Commonwealth Bank, while the Pres ident of that Bank, who was Pension Agent, paid out Pensions in the same bills.

IKE LOCO TOGO BANKS AND BANKERS.
 The late failure of the Commonwealth Bank of Boston, one of the early Pets of the Government, which promised us better currency" calls for some consideration, par ticularly on account of the circumstances connected with this failure. The Evening Post we see, aware of the effect which this explosion is to have upon the party, attempts to parry this effect, and to cast it upon the Conservatives and Whigs.
 This Commonwealth Bank, itappears, had capital of $500, 900, and it has extended its liabilities to the amount of Fl 100000.
 It's President was John K. Simpson, Pen- sion Agent; Cashier, Charles flood. The following IS list of its Directors-J. K. Simpson, Pension Agent; Adams Bailey, Deputy Collector John Mills, District Attor- ney; Oliver Fletcher, H. J. How, Wm. Free. man, Elisha Parks, Samuel S. Lewis, F. s. Carruth, Otis Rich. Charles Hood.
 This Commonwealth Bank was tho Gov ernment aud Custom House Bank. All the officers were Loco Focos, who preach for hard money governments, who cry adoun rith lhe 6caks" and who abuse all their fellow men as aristocrats" that will not consent to snare with them in the plumber of the public.
 The Atlas also says, cone of the cir cumstances made public by the explosion q the Boston pet banks is the fact, that six oE the immediate friends of the administra- ton in New England. namely-John K. Lewis, Wm. Parmenter, and Isaac Hill. are collectively indebted to tho CommonAeGlh Bank in sum exceeding the whole amount ofits capital of ss500.00O.''

Death of Col. WGrd-The article below, from the Memphis Enquirer, contains the particulars ofthe death of Col. Ward. We learn that after the tragedy, the murderers fled to the Arkansas side of the river, to the house of brother-in-law, whither they were pursued by the Sheriff and party of gentle men, including q number of Col Wards rel atives. Tho house was surrounded, and on thepoint of being broken open, when the rel. Rfives of the deceased compromised the mat ter, by agreeing to retire on condition that the mnrderors would pledge their word of honor to return to Memphis hv the 18th inst and stand their trial. The pledge was giv- en but by reward of two thousand dollars sincesoffered for the apprehension of tho of lenders, We should suppose they are probably in Texas by this time.

wanted 10 KNOW upOu WHuL dutHOTIly pay ments were thus made. He thought there were two enactments of Congress against such payments, and such mode of payment. He was utterly at a loss to know upon what authority these bills were paid-paid too for bounties and pensions, and for performing the most solemn and sacred duties of Govern ment. Mir. Webster said he did not wish to anticipate debate which must come up in few days, but he wished to say that he held the Government responsible to make up to its creditors the full amount due them, and of specie value. In conclusion Mir. Webster said, he wished to have one uniform currency in all parts of the country. Some treasury notes were paid out with one mill interest, others with two per cent, and others with five per cent. Thus one man got a note with one mill interest, and another with two per cent, and another with five. MT. Webster said of the Sub- Treasury Bill before the Senate, that he held it altogether impossible for the Gov ernment to have one currency for itself and another for the people. The Government could not have currency for itself that
 would not fiucluate and vary with the cur rency of the people.
 MT. BAYARD here asked Mir. Webster as to
 the connection between the officers of Gov ernment and the Commonwealth Bank. MT. WEBSTER answered that he understood the Deputy Collector ot Boston was stock holder in the Bank. He believed there were other officers of Government connected with ,his Bank. He was sure the Commonwealth Bank had been friendly to the Administra-
