BILE conservation by the circulation OF re-
port, in the North Cheshire Reformer, that
the Rev. MIR. Morris. had been advocating in
Stockport, and urging the inhabitants to Pc
ltion for taxation on scires The whole
village was in an uproar. The females held
a consultation at whichthe wives said, that il
such tax was levied il would create family
quarrels, and the maids justly argued that
chances Of marriage would be fearfully in
creased against them. After which they
came TO a resolution 10 proceed to Mr.. Morris
house. MIR. Morris was apprized by one OF
bis friends OF the predcament in which be
had placed himself and when he saw the
maids and matrons approaching the house,
his fears were excited, and securing himself
by bolts nnd locks against the injured lair, he
went up stairs and endeavored to appease
their wrath by speech from chamber win
dow, in which he laid the blame OH the prin-
Ter for his carelesness in making misprint.
The ladies, not knowing anything about a
misprint, separated, assuring him Of what
they would do when they caught bin again

Erom TIE ". Y. Epg. Post.

Mr. Biddlc, on Wednesday,, resigned tho
place Of President of the Peunsy lvania Uni-
ted States Bank. Mr.. Dunlap, the late
cashier, was appointed IN his place.
The scene at the Bonrd Of Directors on
the occasion Of Mr. Biddie's resignation, Is
described 10 IA letter from PhiladelphIa, pub
li.hed this nornine in one Of The Journals
ntiach-d to the bank, ms having been exceed
ingly solemn and affecting. There was no
previous notice Of MIR. Biddle's determina-
tion. IL was spfang upon the Board OF
Directors with the suddenness Of q rat trap.
Mr. Biddle addressed them in u speech Of
the most touching eloqUenee." The hearts
of Mr.. Manuel Eyre aud his susceptible as
sociaies were too full TO speak; So they said
little or nothing, and immediately elected a
successor.
Mr.. Biddle, it seems, has written letter
to the directors, in which, rs we learn from
Phladelphia, he pleads i'll health and ad-
vancing age as reasoDs for giving up his
charge, adding, however, that he has the
satisfaction of leaving the bank in pros
porous situation.
The Stockholders will probably ere long
become acquainted with the real cause Of
immense cotton speculations into which he
has plunged the bank, and of his various,
connections with bonkrupt companies in
different parts of the country are beginning
TO developc themselves. Palinurus having,
sierred the vessel among the rocks md
quicksands, suddenly abandons the helm to
one Of the crew who was taken on board
but yesterday. . .. .....s ..
! The stock of the hank has been gradual
ly declining lately; on the 10Th of March.
It stood at ll6 l-2. yesterday II. was nj ll3
3-4. To-day it has fallen TO ITO. There
is no occasion for fall Of The stock on ac-
count Of Mr.. Blddle's retirement if the IN
s,itution has been well managed md leh IN
n sound condition. The event shows ihss
the stock of the bank has been kept up by
dilIigent putting by Mr.. Blddle personally.
To raise cloud under which Mr.. Biddle
may retreat, his friends have put ia circu-
lation the silly rumor that he is to be mp
pointed Secretary Of the Treasury. The
absurdty, we perceive, is quietly ~allowsd
There IS nothing too preposterous for the
wings to believe. They believed that Mr..
Van Bureu, when he came to be Presideui,
would take Webster aud Clay into his cab
inet-tbey believed that he would recon-
mend National Bank in his first message
they believed that be would afterwards
declare himself against a divorce of bank
and state-,hey believed that he would srnd
Mr.. Webster as Special Minister to En-
eIand-and With an equal credulity the.
now believe that he will make MIR. Biddfe

ling to allow 5000 travelling fees to each
Que, when they knew that $50 each would
be a most liberal allowance. After a good
deal ofhiggling. the Committee on Account,
reluctantly consented TO allow the gross a.
mount Of $1,000, and directed their chair
man To say That this sum was the uis,ost
that they would allow, unless a particular
'accouni was presented. The grand Inves-
iigaling Committee flew into passion nj
the bare suggestion Of an iten.ized account.

We published last week an article copied
from the Boston Times respecting the collision
between the Osceola and J. w. Richmond
steamboats,. 1t is right that we should inform
our readers that the Transportation Company
deny having had any thing to do with the affair
and produce the atfidavits of several persons
to that effect Phe circumstances ofthe coils
sion warranted the suspicion Of a premeditated
design; and the previous conduct Of The Com
pany, and their. we'll known hostility to the
Richmond rendered them justly liable to the
mputation-especially when it was known that
the President of the Company was on board
the Osceola !, ,..

withdraw their military forces from the dispu-

have heretofore exercised it, till the question
shall have been finally disposed of. Meantime,
there is TO be free communication between the

ton of the executive, for the protection of the
property. Thus, the affair is disposed of for

~bolesome nourishment which gives il its yigor

manufactures, depends upon wind and tide TO

nominal Transformations. in fimsy DISCUSSES and

natural for those. whose principles are ever

Policy may dictate the assumption Of a name
which pride repudates, and the result still
show that the humiliation was endured in vain.
In calling themselves" Democratic Wings" the
iederalisis no doubt are Influenced by the belief
that many will take names for things, and Join
their ranks. misled by this deceptive appelation.
IL Is not to be wondered at that such an opin-
ion should be entertained by those, who rail at
the people as Ignorant and incapable Of self
government and regard them merely as tools
Tor the leaders Of party to handle as they will.
Little do they know the people, their virtue
and intelligence. With name falsely assum-
ed for purposes Of deception, they will find that
power is as inaccessible to them as ever. They
have tried their last expedient; and il with the
