:. The Bank Of Ireland has not paid out any
guineas since the year 1920, yet il has in the

wards of $3,O00,00O. These guineas have
been received by the bank in Dnblia, and its
branches in various parts Of Ireland, on depos-
It, OF in payment If debts; and most Of them
bear the mark ofhaving been boarded.

we'd at Charleston, S. G. from Grenada. She
70 one Of the line. Or rather. feet Of steamers
recently built under the direction Of the Brit.
ish Government, and osfensibly intended fol
the transportation Of the mail between Eng
land and Halifax, ria, the West India Islands,
Charleston and New York.
III connection with this subject we call atten-
tion to the annexed article from late number
Of the London Observer.-Hawkeye.
The BOUNDARY QUESTIONABLE is limited by
some influential parties in the city, to whom
full credit is due, that there is something more
in the wind than meets the eye i'd the slmultane-
Gus departure Of the feet Of steamers destined
10 ply on the West India station, in the con-
4yeyance of the mails. passengers, &C., 10 and
from her Majesty's colonial possessions in the
direction alluded 10. Some significant inqui-
ries have been made from head quarters as to
the number Of troops each of these fine steam
ships could accommodate, and the reply given
is, we are Informed. that with very little altera-
tion each ship could convey 1000 men. We
Gonot believe that there will be any relaxation
in the activity that now pervails in all the ma
val departments Of the country; and, if our in
formation be correct, the destination Of most Of
the vessels Of war now getting ready for sea
will be the American station. These steam
ships may, we hear, be found in company with
our men-of-war on the coasts Of The United
States; and we are told that, should the Amefi-
can executive refuse to adjust the boundary
question, those gentle admonitors. in uphold
ing British rights and British honor, may use
something unlike 'ssoft pursuasion," in COM
polling "Bfother Jonathan" to settle the ac-
count that has been SO long standing between
this country and America. We have given
this statement as it has reached US, and we
will only add, that it is derived from highly
respectable source.

American says: gentleman direct form Tio-

a considerable sum Of money with him left

on his road west. About twelve miles west
Of Smithport, he stopped at house kept by a
man named Brush, of suspicious character, but
the only house .an. the ..s0-.9rocfness. heIo
was nothing that occurred in the house ti'a'
excited his suspicion, but he had scarcely en-

shoot it, but i. missed 5ei l tee ggxc !Fts9
ia his mind some suspicion, and on his ex-
aiming his pistol, found that the charges had
been drawn from both, and then filled with
bran. He INN edia,ely reloaded both pistols.
and before he had proceeded a mile on his
road, a man with his face painted black, rush
ed out from the woods and seized the bride OF
his horse. The traveller drew pistol. and
told him he would shoot him if he did not
let go.--The robber replied that he was not
afraid Of his pistol. The traveller then fred
upon him, and shot him through the heart
He Immediately rode back to the house for
assistance, to which the robber was speedily
removed, and on washing his face it was found
to be the land-lord.-Phlad. Sentinel.

unpopular laws ever enacted and will be repealed Al

Of the State legislatures now in session. The nu-
Der recommended by the committee for member

ed that we are able to make the advance for ALL so
we have determined not to render necessary to be-
come petitioner oursef IN order to assist others in
procuring . discharge.
In order to accommodate, as far as possible we
have inserted several notices from persons unknown
to us, and who returned home without even prom
sing to pay rather than subject them to delay for
their negligence. The applicants in these cases are
informed that unless full payment is made before suf
fcient publication is made, the notices will be dis
continued, to the defeat Of their cases. We are
compelled, in selfdefence, to be thus strict, and we
are determined hereafter to limit our kindness to our
means and our interests.
