has been since February, 1887 The increase of bullion
Is accounted for by the quantity Of light gold paid in for
the purpose Of reconage This may be true to certain
extent but the increase cannot be entirely produced by
that The Directors Of the Bank have for
time past been preparing to place checks ON whatever
speculative feeling may arise and this time cagued

differs materially from the banks Of this country Our
banks make every effort to induce speculation and in
crease it. Most of them have been ruined by the
result but they learn nothing by experience. The Bank

ington, a gentleman OF some years, and with
highly respectable family. He is the son-in.law Of
the distinguished Walter Jones' Esq lately en-

II is reported that the seconds in this duel, Mr.
Ash and Mr.. Pooler, had been involved in quar-
rel, and chalenge had been sent by Mr.. Pooler a
week ago to-day, in consequence OF the difficulty
between them. In that affair Mr. May, who has
been the intimate friend of Mr.. Ash (and with both
of whom had very pleasant acquaintance since
! have been in Washington) succeeded in making
up the quarrel. But il is feared that the GOODNESS
between Messrs. Ash and Pooer have increased
the difficulty of amcably settling the affair between
Messrs Cochran and May. ,
There are those who unhesitatingly say the civil
authorities ought to have been called upon to arrest
the parties, and thus prevented the deed.
i is, altogether, most unhappy and melancholy
affair. 5. b.

There was quite an explosion in the Senate this
Morning, upon the Oregon question. 1t originated
upon bill introduced by Mr.. Archer, authorizing
the purchase offfteen hundred copies OF MIR. Green
how's work upon the Oregon question, which is
understood not to sustain the views OF the partcu-
lar friends of that soil. Whenever this question
comes up for debate it is certain thatthe Western
Senators and others to the number OF eighteen
or twenty, will most warmly contest every inch of
the ground. The feeling is very deep and very In
tense You may be sure that Mr.. Pakenham's ne
gociation cannot be conducted without great ex-
citement here at Washington. What is destined
to grow out OF this case cannot now be foreseen.
You will daily look for Washington news with
deep interests and you may assure your readers that
/ shall be enabled TO give them the earliest and
most correct information in relation TO the whole
progress OF this negotiation.
That the agitation of this subject will produce
powerful political effect cannot be doubted: The
Globe, under Mr.. Bentons auspices, will take
strong ground against renquishing any portion OF
this territory, and gainstlMr. Pakenhams negocia-
ton. There are not few who think storm is
gathering. Mr.. Pakenham's expected arrival to-
day will be like putting fire to q slow match.
