THE Position OF II. a. WIsE.-Acor-
respondent of the Boston Post, describing
the two days speech of this gentleman up,
on the Treasury Note Bill. and in which he
defined his position in reference to some pro-
minent measures. says: He is opposed TO
the Land Bill of Mr.. Clay; to the call of an
extra session Of Congress; TO all innovations
on the tariff: to the whole banking system.
with the exception Of that part Of it which
relates to a National Bank. He was not
understood to be committed in favor even of
a Bank. | do not understand him. however
to be disposed to walk hand in hand with us.
He SAYS the speech created great sensa-
ton among the Wings. and made them blow
their noses very often. After the adjourn
ment they were seen sitting about in knots
signing. and singing
There is no joy in airth's reposes:
We've cotch'd the <nufles in our noses;
All things on airb Is full Of troubles,
And all our hopes at best as bubbles!

RICHMOND BASks.-The Wing Of yester-
dav says:-'The Richmond Banks continue,
and will continue, to pay specie, and that
without contracting their liue OF discounts.
On the contrary. as the season OF business
advances. they expect 10 extend the line OF
discounts. A different apprehension has
produced uneasiness in the community; but
we may pronounce it, from all we hear.

The RUMoRs IN PHILADELPHIA.-A rumor
got in circulation to-day that there had been
discovered overdrafts in the United States
Bank to a large amount, and that discounts
had been made TO most if not all the clerks
engaged in the institution, on deprecated
and v~aluless stocks, the loss to the stockhol-
ders, in consequence of which. was various
ly stated from one hundred thousand to eight
hundred thousand dollars. OF the truth Of
the various versions Of the matter we were
unable TO ascertain any thing farther than
that the discovery, if true. is not a new one,
the same charges having been some time
since made, and the friends of the individu-
ais implicated now alledged they were then
fully acquitted, at least so far as relates to
the charge Of overdrawing. One of the eff.
fects OF this rumor, however, was to raise
the rate Of discount on its bills, and in one
or W instances to brighten brokers out of
the purchase Of them at any price. The
excitement in consequence was considera-
Bile.
The effects of the pressure in the money
market were made visable last evening, bv an
announcement Of the failure of the house of
Pope d. Aspinwall, for half a million of dol
lars. The firm has been reputed rich, and
was In the most extensive trade with South
America. The hope is entertained that in
vestlgatlon will show this amount TO be con-
siderably overrated.

they were made.
Several measures OF the most vital i'm
poriance were before the House and the
10Th January, 1882, was determined upon
as the appointed time for general call Of
all the members TO discuss the state of the
Province and the several proposals which
had been made 10 that body by Lord Ayl-
mer who had reduced the demand of the
permanent civil list TO the salaries of the
Governor, and the Civil and Provincial
Secretaries, the Attorney and Solicitor
General, But the House, although it had
not shown that spirit of decision and firm
ness which became the representatives of
an honest and fearless people, were yet true
enough to their former political principles
to boldly refuse 10 aceede TO this oft
reiterated and worn-out demand on the
part OF the English Government.

So long as the business ef government
shall be left in the hands of classes or pro-
LESSONS Of men, the instruction it counten-
ances will be Ike tho laws it fabrcates--
false in nature and mischievous in tenden-
ey, The aim of instruction will be to
blind and mislead them, as the Object of the
laws will be to Cypress and plumber them.
Where it shall have Become Questionable
to controul the people by violence, re-
course will be had TO sophisiry and cajoI-
cry, and let no people imagine themselves
absoIved from one or other Of these sys-
TENS OF misgovernment, so long as the di-
rection of human affairs shall be set apart

Among the fathers Of the American col
