Restmpiion-The Balfimors Ba,L,

The Baltimore Banks have come TO the d.c;s.o,
not to resume cash payments, unless those ofVir-
ginia do so simultaneously. The American thus
announces the fact:
"Ths baltimore .7meriedn of Tuesdav eau, thu, =,
"a meeting Of the Presidents of the several R,nLs
IN The CITY OF Baltimore, on Monday evening, the
question OF the resumption OF specie payments came
uP-when resolution was adopted by a decided
vote, mat was ineEpedent foe the Banks of this
Guy 70 resume unless there was a simultaneous
net OF resumption on the part Of the Banks of Wiz.
ginia' Tins vote, we take il for granted settles
the question that there will be no resumpton south
OF Pennsylvania, at the present time"
Heretofore we thought, that the Baltimore proCes.
sion was, determination to resume whenever
Philadelphia did. Philadelphia has resumed. and
now we arc told that Baltimore must await the al.
multaneous movement Of Richmond. This bs;ng
the case, we believe, we justified in saying that
Baltimore will not have TO wait long, Richmond is
ready when Baltimore is ready, and il Baltimore is
notprompt to name day, we hope and believe that
Richmond will resume without her When Philo.
dephia and oil North are paying specie, and when
south OF us, Georgia Is about TO resume, We hope
thatthe Banks Of Virgins neither require longer de-
lay to get ready, will consen, to incur the re-
proach Of remaining exceptions N the general rule
lSince writing the above, we see with pleasure
that our Banks are ready and pressing for an early
day.-see the notice Of the PesidenLJ
The Express adds
"The determination Of the Baltimore Banks no,
70 resume until the Banks IN Virginia lead the way,
y most extraordinary course Of conduct. The
trends Of those Institutions have constantly declar.
ed they waited only Tor Philadelphia; now, Il ap-
pears that those professions we're groundess pui.

where he will soon be brought to trial.
|rhe Journal of Cmmerce says there is
no reasonable doubt Of his acquittol."

"Great Britain cannot IN honor put up
with such decision, and will not allo,c Mr..
Mcleod to be tried for an act which his
Government has assumed as its own.--
The time has now arrived when there can
be no more dallying about the matter and
if our neighbors will persist in their as
symptoms, let them take the consequences.
for however much we should deprecate a
war with them under different circumstan-
COS, the sooner we decide this question the
better. England could not have better
cause and in Canada we have never been
so well prepared for a trial of strength as
a. present. Again we say, if war must
come, lie, it come at once. for it is very evil

How this appointment is received by
those who are acquainted with both Mr..

After commenting severely on the course
pursued by MIR. H. to procure the appoint
ment, the Courier says: "That the app
pOintment can be justified upon his party
merits, few here, (where Mr.. H. is well
known, will pretend to assert; and we be-
leve his most partial enlogists will hardly
affirm that he takes Mr.. Whi,comb's place
on account of superior business talents and
qualifications. Here, where they are both
known, comparison between their natur.
