DusiileSs diiiirs nave not IN any
manner changed since our last report.
The same difficulty still exists among
VI Banking institutions that they
have labored under for several weeks.
The contemplated arrangement, that
OF receiving each others notes in the
payment of debts due them, has en-
urely fallen through, as will be seen
by an official notice of the Board of
Currency 10 that effect. The vari.
u currencies afloat cause much
difficulty in making up a correct re-
view Of the market, there being in
every transaction an especial agree
ment as TO what funds shall lie re-
ceived in payment.
Stocks Of Western Produce are
much reduced. and we have reason
TO believe hat the low stage Of wa

More Indian Murders.

The Tallahassee Star. of the 9th
ult., furnishes the following account
Of the massacre Of a whole family:
"On Wednesday, 9TH ult., about
two o'clock in the afternoon, a party
of abou. forty Indians came upon
the plantation of Capt. Robinson,
near the Sandy Ford, on the Suw-
aimee River. Captain Robinson's
three sons and n hired man were
ploughing in the field. They were
all simultaneously fired upon by lndi-
ans; three of the young men were
shot deld, the other MORALLY wound
ed. Capt. Robinson, who was a,
some distance from the young men.
when he first saw the Indians & heard
the report of their rifles, fled towards
his house: when he approached it, he
found another party Of Indians alrea-
DIV i. the yard; he saw his wife and
daughter leak from the house and
endeavor TO esccne. Mrs. K. was
shot, and fell wounded: the daughter
was pursued by an Indian who caught
her by her hair as she fle', and, cut
ting her throat with his knife, drag
ged her back TO the house, and, with
her wounded mother, she was thrust
within doors and the house fired.
The living and the dead were ON
suned together.
Capt. Robinson rallied the neigh,
bors, who soon visited the spot. One
of the young men who was shot in
the field, was found still alive, tho
he did not long survive.

ost heads Of Connecticut river" cannot
be applied to the Eastern branch, but
that the choice must lie between Halls
and the Indian stream.
For further news, dispatches were re-
ceived over land, fortnight since, from
the exploring expedition. The contents
have not been suffered to transplre, but
there are persons now in Washington who
have conversed with the officers Of the
expedition since they left the Columbia
River. II has dropped from them that
the researches and surveys made on the
North West coast are Of such value as
will more than compensate the nation
for the whole cost OF The expedition. II
is guessed that this refers To the light
which will be thrown upon our title 10 the
North West coast, from the Northern
limits Of Mexico to the Southern bounds
Of the Russian claim. Great immediate
value will therefore be added to The more
barren glory oftaking from the Terra
.3usirdlis its epilhet OF incogniia.
BY the way, it has been said that great
injustice has been done to our officers ia

TAE AMlsrAD AFRICANS. Letters
have been received at New York, from
the Missionaries who accompanied the
Mendians TO Africa. They state thai
there were difficulties about reaching
Mendi, and MIR. Steele under the advice
of the New British Governor, Sir George
Macdonald, had gone with Cinque aud n
few others, on an exploring tour. His
return was daily expected. There were
several hundreds of Mendians at Sierra
Leone, some Of whom had recognized
several Of the Amistad Africans. The
Mendians continued to study, but some
Of them had relapsed into their former
licen,ous habits. The missionaries, how
ever, were full Of hope.
