A bill is before the Legislature Of Alabama,
which, if carried, will require the banks Of
that State to resume on the lst cay of July
next. A resolution requiring the banks OF
Tennessee to resume has been indefinitely
postponed. The Legislature of Georgia have
rejected bill 10 compel the banks of that
State to resume. The Governor of Marv-
land recommends lenient measures towards
the banks of that State. A bill which has
been before the Legislature of South Caroli-
ma to compel their banks to resume, has been
rejected. The charter of the State Bank of
Illinois had been declared forfeited. Notwith-
standing this, the Legislature of that State re-
ceived its charter, and allowed the Bank one
year to resume. So we go.

MARYLAND BANKs-A committee Of the Mary
land Legislature has made a report containing the
replies Of the banks the nterrogatories addressed
to them, Of which the Evening Post gives the fol,
lowing synopsis: 1t shews that banks are managed
in that state, as every where else, without much re-;
gard to principles Of science or honesty. Some of
Them admit that their stockholders have paid sub
scrip, ions with loans made by the banks some have
been in due habit of selling the specie or lending it
to the brokers' others have bought uncurrent money
or traded i'll stocks; several pretend not 10 know
what amount of their capital has been paid up; and
the rest have INDUCED largely in the aceommoda-
ton of their directors
The Committee express the opinion that by the
provisions Of their several acts of incorporation, the
Frederick County Bank, the Merchants Bank,
Western Bank, Chesapeake Bank, Citizens Ban
Hamilton Bank and Mineral Bank, have subjected
their charters forfeiture, and although no provi-
sion is made for winding them up that 1t IS compe-
tent for the legislature to provide process.

answers would our Banks give to such questions2

The Observer md Our Test.

When we derive better Information from the
Federal Wings themselves, than the say SO of
Mr.. Van Buren, General Harrison, to
their position in relation to Abol;tionisn,, our
enquiries need be no further urged. For this
information, we refer to our columns this week,
as it is exhibited in Mr.. Adams letter and the
Harrison Wing vote in New York: Facts
speak louder than mems declarations. We
pledged ourselves to oppose any of the gentle
men 10 whom our letter was addressed, if they
sanswered in the negative, amreasonably
evaded the enquiry.' Their omission to answer
within the short time since we put the enquiry
or even to answer at all, is perhaps not "un-
reasonable evasion" of the enquiry, when their
acts and opinions are becoming every day well
enough characteristic Of the sides they espouse.
We feel ourselves, however entirely released
from the pledge, by the further enquiries we
have made; and unless the Observer had been
willing to abide by so fair a test, his mouth is

1t would appear from the following from the
Portland Advertiser published the authority
OF Gen. Varnum, that the British are as active
on the border as # they were contemplating
another seven years war; that paper says:
1.-The barracks of the Portage Road, near the
two hundred British troops of the eleventh reg
ment, commanded by Mai. Chamey. The
barracks are two stories high, sufficient to quar-
ter, he thinks, from 400 to 600 men. The Bri-
t'sh have also built large guard house, beside
officers quarters, engineers quarters, store
houses. large cook hOuse-the buildings thus
erected, being eight in number. They have
also commenced building stockade-9OO or
500 feet of which completed to enclose
the whole of the above mentioned buildings
During the present season, they have built bar
racks near the foot of the lake, ON The southern
side Of the Madawaska river sufficient to quar-
ter from to 500 men, where eight men are
stationed. They have further fitted up this
season, a new two story house for barracks,
about twelve miles Below the mouth Of the Ma
dawaska, ON the southerly side OF St. Johns
river, sufficient for quartering from $50 to 200
men-in taking care OF which, from one To
three men are employed. Baltimore Post.
