Our money circles were somewhat ievcrIsh last
week, although the outdoor rate ranged from to
. per cent. per aunum on frs, rate paper Several
of our Banks declared semi annual dividends
The list will be found below. 1t will TO seen that
in no instance was higher than , per cent. dc.
ter, only distributed one cent share. II may be
feared, however, that even in all these cases, the
profits were not wholly depended upon. The
truth is-several Of oar Banks have large portions
OF their capital locked up in the debt duo to them
| ly the United States Bank and hence, having
but itI'o funds to trade upon, they must have made
very little money. Stocks continue irightiuly low;
Grard sold day or two ago as low as 22l FOR 50
paid. The United States has gone down to almost
nothing having in several Instances sold as low as
| 81. The Bank Of Pennsy ylvana is quoted at 200
and 205 while the Bank of Philadelphia sells at
G0--or 40 per cent. below par. The truth is, w
are in sad way in Ponnsy lvania with regard to
! Money and Bank matters. Most Of the New Eng.
! lrud Institutions continue 10 pay specie, declare
fair and regular dividends, while their stock sc.ls a.
par or nearly So. Specie payments arc still talked
| of, and we may expect some action upon the sub
| ject, Immediately after the meeting ct tho Lesi,la
turc. Situated rs the State is, however, and wlt
the actoa Of The last Legislature before Us it is not

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS, sundry important and weighty
matters, principally growing out of the con-
dition Of the revenue and finances ofths coun-
try, appear to me to call for the consideration
of Congress at an earlier day than its next
annual session, and thus form an extraordi.
nary occasion, such as renders necessary, in
my judgment, the convention of the two
Hooses as soon as may be practicable, do,
therefore, by this my proclamation, convene
the two Houses of Congress, to meet i'm the
Capitol at the City of Washington, on the
last Monday, being the thirty-first day of May
next. And require the respective Senators
and Representatives then and there to assem-
bic, in order to receive such information re-
speeding the state of the Union as may be
given to them, and to devise and adopt such
measures as the good of the country may
seem to them, in the exercise oftheir wisdom
and discretion, to require.
In testimony whereof, have caused the
seal of the United States to be hereunto af-
fixed, and signed the same with my hand.
Done at the city Of Washington, this sew
enteenth day Of March, in the year Of
our Lord one thousand eight hundred
l.. S and forty-one, and of the independence
OF the United States the sixty-fifth.

ian that Warren Grigsby, of Rockbridye,

sui to Bordeaux, only few days before he
went out of Office, has been furnished by the

pers, &c. Mr.. Grigsby, wo understand, OK
pected his appointment to be annulled by
Gen. Harrison;-but more liberal principles
prevail than formerly, and he has been al
lowed to go on his way. Mr.. Grigsby is
said to be young man ofiine talents, but we

gainst the act just passed in reference to our

POSTSCRIPT.

Re'ignGiion IF the Governor Of JTrginia
We regret TO learn that Gov. Gilmer has
resigned his Office in consequences Of the pas
sage Of the resolution mentioned above, de-
clafing that Curry ought to begiven up, not
withstanding the refusal ofthe Governor Of ".
York 80 TO act in a similar case! The reso-
luton was passed by nearly aunanimous vote
in both Houses. But for this circumstance
the Legislature would have adjourned, no
doubt, on Monday. The Wing says that at
the moment of the Governors resignation
nearly fifty members Of the assembly had re-
turned home, and our private information is
that if an election is gone into now, we shall
certainly have a Locofoco Governor. In the
event of no election at this session, the senior
Councillor Of State, Mr.. Patten, will be act
ing Governor until the 3lst inst, when his
term expires. and after that Mr.. Rutherford.

paper very spirited article from the pen of
the editor of the New York Express, on the
occasion of recent visit to Richmond. The
picture which he draws of Virginia--her nat
ural advantages and boundless resources
and the culpahle neglect with which they
have been treated-must find ready and
melancholy response in the bosom of every
true-hearted son. Nor is there any thing in
the picture, glowing and rap,urous as it is,
which may justly excite our pride-for how
ever rich and lovely Virginia may appear in
the eyes ola stranger, in the endowments of
nature, she has not been less so in our own
eyes.-We have known it all--and her pecu-
liar advantages have so long been our boast,
our mere boast, without proper effort to i'm
provo them, that they have empha!cally be-
come our shame, and reproach. Other States,
far less favored, are continually outstripping
US in the career of greatness; and some of
them, By their superior enterprise, are actual
ly enjoying the benefits and advantages
which nature designed for us.-Does any one
ask how all this has happened The an
swer is a plain one. The great minds of the
Commonwealth, which ought to have been
employed in directing her improvement and
developing her resources, as if sp urning so
limited theatre, have been engaged, for the
most part, in the important business of Pres
and in regulating the affairs
ofthe Nation! While professedly their alle-
glance is FIRST due to Virginia, she, in truth,
has shared little of their peculiar care or SER
vices. And the misfortune is that they have
made the body of the people to partake large
ly of their own vice. Until more practical
wisdom, and home-bred patriotism, prevail,
improvement Of the State.
d5~The Portrait of Mr.. Richie, drawn by
the editor Of the Express, while much Of it
is to the life, we do not think exactly just in
all respects and as we hold the axiom,
"give the devil his DUE" to be sound morai-
ty, we will state in what we think it errs.-
Mr.. Richie has sins enough to answer for,
III all conscience, without any improper en-
tries being made against him. We think,
for one thing, the consequence of Mr.. Richie
in Virginia has beea most flatteringly overrat-
the influence which he exerts
is undoubtedly great. Nor is he, in our o.
pinon, anti every thing. We have known
him sometimes to be suspended in an awful
state of "det,oeenity," not knowing which
side to take. The popular side, however,
has been found to be the one which he uni
versally prefers. The Express is mistaken
also in regarding him as an enemy to the
improvement of the State. Although he has
not brought the powerful influence of his
press to the aid of that cause as he might
have done, owing to his engrossment in the
work of party, still he has never opposed it.
He sin, in this respect, has been rather of
omission than commission. In the main,
however, the Express has given remarkably
good portrait.
