NEW BANK BILLS.

we have examined at the office of Treasti-
rer oil State, specimen impression of the bills
designed for the "City Bank of Columbus. -
The Bank has ordered bills of the denomina-
ton oil 81 SO, 50 and So The plates of
the Is and Us are already engraved, and the
5s and los are expected in day or two
Messrs. Ra,odon, Wright d Hatch, of Gin
cinnati are the engravers. The specimen bills
are beautiful. The engraving is on steel and
the impression is faultless. The general APP
Pearance oil the bill is better, decidedly, we
THINK, than anything heretofore issued i'm this

what are pronounced admirable likenesses of
two OF the former Governors of Ohio. Gen.
Macarthur and Gen. Worthington. The 3's

brilliantly lighted with gas, on "Wednesday

understand is the most economical light in
use. All the public rooms and passages are
perfectly lighted. tits Mr. Crutchet's invention
and is manufactured from the refuse of the
kitchen and lardcr. Nothing is now wanting
TO make the United States Hotel equal to the
best hotels in the Union. The building and
grounds have been entirely remodelled, the
whole house newly and splcndidly furnished,
the table and bar filled with the choicest
that can be procured, aud the landlords,
snperintendants and servants, all strive to
promote the comfort of their guests.

H1PPOPOTAMUS.- There is now i'm New
York fine specimen of the Hippopotamus.
IL was captured not long since by boats
crew from New Bedford vessel at the mouth
OF river in Africa. There are two i'm the
Paris museum, but we believe none like this
IN the United States. No animal possesses
more singular appearance, and none has more
curious habits. The mouth and the teeth have
greatly attracted the attention of the natural
lists, while the ivory of the canine teeth is
highly priced by dentists, who pay large price
Tor theni-as much as So a pound
Modern travellers in Africa have repeated
ly seen and described them, and their locality
is considered to be confined to the great rivers
and lakes of that country. Their food is chief
ly OF hard stout vegetables on the banks of
streams, which is bruised rather than ground ,
and when transmitted to the stomach it has
undergone very little alteration. The Hippo
potamus is able to live long time under wa
ter, and has some way of closing his nostrils
while there. When it seeks the land il does
immense injury TO vegetation by trampling it
under foot. The natives are always on the
alert to kill it when they can.

The Washington correspondent of the ~
Y. Commercial Advertiser gives the following
account of the ways and means which the
government of Mexico use for the purpose OF
acquiring information of their diplomatic Wis
tiers. Ii so well accords with the Mexican
character that we cannot doubt it vet we
cannot deny that they return the money, and
do not sem disposed to seize upon our terri
tory.
We Were more amused than surprised here
at the story that Mr.. Elliott. the British
charge dailaircs. was robbed on his way to
Mexico from Vera Cruz. Mexican robbers of
public iunc,ionories arc of old date and always
Of a mysterious character. Robbery is a part
of the system of police in Mexico, and public
men have learned to understand it, The OBJ
Ject OF the robberics is tn get possession, for
the Government, vi the private papers. poit-
ical objects and instructions of the functiona-
~, and the Government invariably makes res
tituton OF the money and valuables taken by
the robbers, il they unwarily, or of necessity.
take them.
Gen. Thompson was robbed on his WAY tn
Mexico. The Government Immediately Of
Tered him ample amends, but his papers were
not returned. When Mr. Shannon went ont
u A'hhtS''i. n' was NdIltu ttldt ne would H
robbed between Vera Cruz and Mexico. and
advised to take no money with him. but "a
procure bill. as can always be done. at Vera
Cruz, on Mexico. He did so. and was duly
robbed. The Government offered its condo
lence, and rendered naturalization to a large
amount.
When Mr.. Cushing passed through Mexico
on his return from China, he was stopped by a
troop of half military. half savage looking Eel.
lows, who demanded his keys, &c. The,
overhauled every thing. His trunks with spe
Gle and with public papers were examined anc
locked up again. A box with papers was Ia
ken, and he was then told TO proceed.
Commodore Porter, when thew attempted I,
rob him, on his rerum from Mexico, hayin,
had some difficulties with that Government
and being in 40 humor for the operation
wheeled his horse upon the captain of TN,
tpoep and shot him dead, whereupon the res
took 10 flight.
Cases have been known wherein men If i'm
portance have been robbed. according To order
and upon their arrival at Mexico, compliance,
OF their large losses, and the Government
though well knowing that the loss was tri
fling, have restored the sum claimed. If IN,
Government wishes to gain a man, who ha
lost but twenty doubloons. they saw, Won mus
have lost sixteen hundred doubloons, and if n,
assents they pay him accordingly do no
intimate that this has been the case with an,
Of our public functionarics.

But he, without waiting TO give signal, cast
off his weights and rose as quickly as possible,
thankful for his escape, The poor fellow did
not sleep wink all that night, and the next
morning the captain could persuade none Of
the men to go down, until he himself had been
down and found that there were no more dead
bodies. The body, which was that of one Of
the sailors, who had probably been caught in
the companion-way when the vessel was sink
ing but which could not be identified, was sent
by Captain Taylor to Baltimore, where, after
undergoing an inquest, it was decently inter-
red. We aPprehend the sailor will not soon
forget this adventure.
