On the subject ofa National Bank, Mr..
TYLER holds the same opinion expressed by
Gen. HARRIsos in his Dayton speech. AL
though the power to create such an institu.
ton is not given by the Constitution in ex-
press terms, yet if Bank is found to be ne
cessary to carry into effect "the granted pow
ers," he considers it proper and expedient to
create one-ihe Constitution comforting on
Congress ''all powers which are necessary
and proper" to carry into effect "the granted
powers"
lP. S.-We have just received an address
from President TYLER to the People of the
United States. 1t is all that we could wish,
and we only regret that we have not room to
insert lit shall appear in our next.]

~ At Richmond, on the receipt Of the
melancholy intelligence Of the President
death, the public bell was tolled until night.
and in accordance with the action ofthe Gov
ernor and Council, was continued from sun
rise to sunset the next day, and one humid
red guns fired at regular intervals, the Ma
tlonal flag displayed at half mast at the Cap
i'ol and Armory, and the principal entrances
OF the Capitol hung with mourning drapery.
There was also general meeting of the cit.
liens.
Similar manifestations of the public grief
have taken place in almost every city and
town from which we have ye. heard.

VA large meeting of the stockholders of
the U. S. Bank of Pennsylvania was held at
Philadelphia on the 9Th instant, to receive
the report of the Committee appointed to ex-
anime into the condition of the Bank. The
report is quite voluminous, and gives a de-
plorable picture of acknowledgement, faithless-
ness and dishonesty in the officers of the in
siitution. More than half the capital has
been sunk-something more than fifteen mil
lions only remaining to the stockholders. /.
This would make the present value of tho
shares about $40 each. 1t seems that the
power Of the Directors had been in grea,
measure set aside by the executive officers OF
the Bank since March 1885, and that several
of them have been operating largely with
the funds of the institution-that large sums
had been loaned by them to Rail Road and
other companies in which they were interest
ed--and that in some instances the officers
had settled their debts to the Bank by stocks,
railroad shares, lands, &c. The operations
in cotton amounted to near nine millions OF
dollars. In the outset something was made,
but no credit was given to the Bank for the
profits. They were divided among unknown
individuals. When loss was finally sus.
tame d, however, Of nine hundred thousand
dollars, that was attempted to be saddled on
the Bank. Mr.. Biddle, we are sorry to see,
is implicated in these transactions. The
Directors not conserving to the imposition,
he, it seems, settled his share of the loss in
Texas bonds!
A committee was appointed to devise and
report on the following Thursday, to an ad.
journed meeting, the best mode to be pursued
in the present situation of the Bank, to pro-
mote the interest of the stockholders.

IL The Richmond Banks suspended spe.
Gle payments on the 9th inst. Prudence, not
necessity, says the Wing, has induced this
step--the Banks North and South having
suspended, to pay specie was obviously to
drain their Golfers without any equivalent.
