bank uctuated largely about that period AT that Pc
Rod the President and Directors of the bank became
impressed with the necessity Of reducing the amosnt Of
loans, which, that time were about three millions

forward reduce the loans the bank at such proper
tional should least incommode their customers
while the time it should protect the interests of
the institution. This policy was adopted and continued

LATER FROM THE WEST INDIEs.-By the Steam
Packet to Norfolk, we have received the Despatch the
Gazette, &C., containing accounts from Jamaica W. l.
to the 10Th inst, five days later. .-.F .e.r,.H
There is great anxiety in that Island relative TO the
Canadian insurrectien. The domestic affairs Of the
British West Indies are far from being settled.
The following account Of the Capture of Slave
Ship by the Wanderer and Serpent" is the most inter
esting -
On the morning Of the 21st January the Wandcrer
and Serpent being in company off Cuba, observed two
vessels steering different The former gave
chase to one, the latter the other. The Wanderer
however, observing the Serpents chase bear up for ST
Jago de Cuba, hauled up TO cut her off, the Serpent
having opened well directed fire the SLAYER ma sts
and she finding herself much pressed, put several
groes into sinking boat and her adr in hope the
Serpent would heave for the purpose of saving their
lives. Fortunately, the Serpent being provided with
quarter boats enabled lower them, without sta
tonary SAIL and thereby saved the lives Of The five
groes.
The Shaver schooner, finding there no chance of
escape ashore about eight miles the eastward Of
the entrance to the harbor Of ST Jago and pieces
almost Immediately.
BY the very great exertions Of the officers and boats
Of her Majestys sloops 81 slaves embarked
in safety-two were found drowned-the master and
of the SLAYER escaped No papers or coors were
found-the Of the SLAYER or the flag under which
she sailed could not be sscertaned We. however hope
the gallant captors viii thereby be deprived Of that
reward which their great exertons especially ent-
tie them.

THE Next VIRGINIA SENATOR, MIR.
KIyES.

We take the following from the Wheeling
Va Times, Of a late date. That paper seems
fully aware Of the fact, that TO the course pur-
sued by the Conservatives are the Wings in
dehted for the most of their recent triumphs.
Such is the fact with respect to Connecticut,
New York, and Virginia in particular.
Let the Conservative Republican Wings
back the Conservative Republican Democrats,
and victory will be certain, and the Loco, toco
Wings and Loco foeo Democrats will be left
to unite and act together. Already is such
union, as this latter one, seen existing in
some parts of Virginia. Is It not completely
exemp'ifed in the union and concert Of action
between such men as L. j Randolph and
General Gordon, the father Of the Sub-trea-
sury scheme.
~ The election of an United States Senator by the
next session "' the Virginia Legislature is beginning to
excite a'teh,ioh throughout the Commonwe alth
huoer oi individuals have been named and their claims

dence. True they have the asccptapcv in The State

auIBBLEs OF THE ALBANY ARGUS.

Commenting on our statement respecting
the warrant issued by the Treasury Depart
ment, to 1t. Col Brant, of Missouri, for $780,
900 payable in geld. the Argus thus remarks.
What would these parlizans have? In what me-
dum do they suppose Treasury warrant upon the
mint should be paid if not in American coin Or
do they imagine that the min, turns out paper, and
that warrant on the mint ought TO be met in corpo
ration shin plasiers7 And do they mean to have il
inferred that warrant payi BILE in coin, is any more
likely 10 lead TO corruption" and "profigacy" on
the part of the Government, than warrant payable
in paper We confess we do not see the force OF
these structures on any other superstition II the
Government had specie funds at the mint il had the
right to draw for them TO meet disbursements au-
thorzed or required by law and there is no pre-
fence that the warrant in this case was not dra
pursuant to law The mint not being permitted TO
loan oa the pnblie funds, doubtless was in condition
To honor the Treasury draft upon il, and did and
thus the Governments, by Sub-tresury operation"
enabled in this instance at leasl, to meet its
obligations promptly, instead Of being compelled to
await the process OF CONT bulion from the borrow
ers Of its money. Is this the kind OF " control" Of
the Government funds, that the federal wings would
take way from the public funcionares9
Without the special order, TO be paid in
american gold, the warrant might have been
paid in silver. Would that not have been in
american COH
The place for " turning out paper" and the
mint where SHIN plasters are coined, is at the
Sub-treasury min, in this city, Of which Levi
Woodbury. is director and controller.
So, this is a" Sub-treasury operation" is it,
Mr.. Argus The sending of $4,000 in
gold to Missouri, TO crafty one Of the leaders
of Tie party, when, as we stated, we did not
doubt was the case. and which has been since
asserted by a St. Louis paper, there was at the
time, more than half n million dollars in spe
Gle, at the credit of the Treasury, in the
bank at ST. Louis, and in the hands Of the Re-
ceirers in Missouri and Illinois. But proba-
bly, it was not in American goid. The predic-
tion that "gold would flow up the Mississippi"
must be verified.
II is this kind Of improper, (if not corrupt)
employment and "conirol' Of the peoples
funds, that re would take away from the
public functionaries."

RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS.

RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS.
Monday last, the 18th inst. wns celebrated
in various parts Of the county, on account of
The restoration Of specie currency to all who
wish il. Il was day not only worthy 10 be
celebrated on that account, but more particu-
larly, on account Of the administration and the
party that supports it, being shorn Of their
strength to carry their destructive measures
into operation, and thereby have defeated an
attempt to resume, on the part of the Banks,
which pertinacious adherence to so long as
Congress continued in session, retarded; and
which but for that hostile action of the admin.
s,ration, the resumption would, no doubt, have
been consummated some months since
"The WOODBURY. currency" will now be
the only paper money circulating, both ire
dremable in specie, and at discount in
markell!
A fine commentary this, upon the war
against the banks, the divorce Of bank and
State, and the Sub-treasury policy
