District Attorney Kellogg has been here
on behalf of the US. Treasury, and is
understood to have carried away what
specie there was in the vault. (about 81
800. The late President of the Bank
Is Pension Agent, and two other Direct
ors-Dr. Green. now President, and an
Iother-are understood to be his bonds

Kellogg, and hence the surrender of the
specie. 1sel soo ts# ! ~. " ,~@an..,>-
We were wrong in saying last week
that Mr.. Emerson had retired from all

is still a Director. Our statement was
submitted to two gentlemen connected
with the Bank, before publication, who
pronounced il correct Their attention
was doubtless fixed on other parts of the

1t was stated in our last that the Bank
had Jailed. Its condition, in the opinion
OF the people here, has been becoming
more hopeless ever since. Its Bills have
gone down 10 so, IS, and even 90 per
cent, discount. Ii is understood to be
great loser through the acknowledgment
and failure of its agents in Boston-Messrs.
Emerson & Lamb-of which firm the late
President is one.
Some of our friends have sent US Wind
sor Bills since the Bank failed, which we
have declined receiving. A word of ex-
PLANTATION is due TO them. We infer from
statements which reach US in the papers,
that the true state of the case became
known abroad very slowly, and we con-
clude that the bills have been forwarded
10 US under the impression that the with
drawal OF its deposites from Boston was
the only difficulty with the Bank, and
that of course the bills would be as
good here as any other. We regret that
our friends should be disappointed But
we cannot take any b'arne to ourselves in
the premises,-we shall inevitably suf-
fer considerable loss-we owed the
Bank nothing. nor had we any other
means of getting the bills off at
par-our only safety was in refusing them
altogether.
Never, since We have been acquainted
with it, has the Bank employed its funds,
except to a rery trifing amount-for the
accommodation and promotion of bust
ness in this vicinity. Our citizens gener-
ally have never had any equivalent for
the losses they suffer the Bank has not
failed through their means, or through
measures adopted with a view to their
benefit or accommodation. This, in JUS
tice, the public abroad ought to under
stand.-W. Chron.
SToP MY PAPER.-There is a mistak-
en- idea abroad among those who, finding
that a journalist does not represent exact
! ly their shade OF opinion, think to punish
him severely, or perhaps to annihilate
him altogether, by saying stop my pa
per-" The chuckIe of qualification which
il is fair to infer comes forth on such occa-
sions, is founded in error. The impor-
lance and the effect of the achievement are
greatly overrated. They who take dali
ly paper in Philadelphia paving no more
for it than eight dollars a year, receive
the full worth OF their money according to
the most strictly mercantile calculation
that can be made upon the subject Taking
the paper, and the labor bestowed upon it
in various ways, into the account eac h
yearly set Of journal actually costs the
proprietor eight dollars, and therefore the
subscriber has literally his quid pro quo in
receiving the sheet: The profits of pub
fishing a newspaper are from advertising
Stop my paper is not always the direful
sound which individuals are sometimes
disposed to think it, and the relative posi-
tons of publisher and subscriber are more
nearl v equal than they are generally con-
acknowledgements.
MOTION OF ANIMALs.--Anima motion
is wonderful, though from it perpetuaIv
meeting the eye, we take little account OF
il. The Pholas IA she'll tish) has the
power of perforating the hardest marble
by means of Il feshy substance, apparent.
Iy no way suited to so Iaborious an en-
ployment. 1t increases its cell as it in
creases in size, and constitutes perfect
: example of the first rndi,nen,s of animal
. motion. The only impulse an oyster
possesses, arises out of its power of open,
ing and shutting its shell The muscle
moves by means Of muscular substance,
resembling a tongue. The crab moves
sideways, and the water-fy swims upon
its back. The serpent undulates, and the
lIon-ant moves backwards; it has no pow
er TO make the smallest inclination for
wards. Marine birds can walk, run. fly
and swim. Some animals can only walk.
Others only run, and others only gaIlop;
the horse performs all these motions
The tiger and the crocodile, dart; the
reindeer runs, but never gallops; the
armadillo walks swiftly, but can neither
ran nor leap; while the. great ant-eater
r climbs faster than it can walk. The
sloth is large animal, and yet can travel
