sPEcIE lN NEW YoRK BANKs.

The American Exchange Bank became a depository
in June. From holding one-third the specie in No
vember, the pet banks augmented their proportion to
one-half in August and in November the removal OF
the deposites to other quarters made a serious inroad
upon the amount they sold. Now the Secretary tells
US that one motive for changing the deposites was to
% prevent accumulations." If this was the real object,
how much better it would have been to allow oil the
banks to have been repositories, upon giving security
pro rata to the proportion of the customs paddy them.
There could then have been no accumulation and nc
change in the employment of money. The control of
the pet banks has been periodically manifest in a fore
ed rise of the rate of interest. By demanding specie
balances they prevented the other banks from loaning
while they raised the rate of interest on all their own
loans. The progress of loans was as follows:

'Since Mr.. Geo. H. Dnnn left the Treasurer's Office,
it Is ascertained that there is a deficiency of about
$4,000 in Treasury notes. No sooner was the def
cheney made known to the Legislature by Mr.. Dunn
himself, than the State Sentinel opened the flood gates
of its abuse on him, calling him rascal, scoundrel,
villain, &c. &C."
The above is from the Indianapolis correspondent
of the Madison Banner. So far as it relates to us, ii
Is, as all our readers know, absolutely false. We
said nothing until some days after Dunn had declared
his deficiency to the Legislature, and only spoke when
we did to caution the Legislature against ~forgiving
Dunn the debt, as some of the Wings were anxious
70 do, without investigation. The most we said was
that there was something rery mysterious about the
matter. We say that still and further, that it is
Mr.. Dunn's business and duty to show how the loss
occurred, if he can, before he asks to DC excused from
being held responsible for it. The people can hardly
afford to lose $4,000 every day, for the benefit Of thu
honest Mr.. Dunn or any body else.

The State Of Indiana must eventually become one
of the richest States in the Union, and will, befor
many years roll round, rank next to Ohio in resources
and general wealth but at present, in proportion to
its means, it has the largest debt of any State in the
Union. 1t will require a great lapse Of time TO ena-
bic the people of Indiana to pay the annual interest on
their debt, and unless some compromise is effected, the
accumulation of interest must rapidly increase the
debt, and perhaps increase it to an amount the State
will never be able to control-N. Y. Herald.

commands.

Commander Newman of the brig cambridge, at
Montevideo, jumped over board recently, and drowned
himself. When the cambridge first arrived at Mon
teyideo, two or three shots were fired into her by a
little Buenas Ayres schooner. The commander for
bore to resent this, s~upposing it was done through mis-
take. His conduct gave rise to comments which
prcyed upon his mind, and led him TO commit suicide.
The N. Y. Herald says,-we have been favored
by a friend with the following extract of a letter, re-
ceived from this highly esteemed officer, giving an
account of the insult offered TO his vessel =
Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1841-1853, 1845-01-09

MONIkFIDEO, sept. Q, IoFF.
On coming into this port, | had to pass the Buenos
Ayrean Squadron, and when abreast of them, one of
their schooners fired two shots, one ahead and the
other astern of me. My first impulse was to return
his shot and proceed on, but seeing a boat approaching
me from the Admiral and knowing that our nation had
acknowledged the blockade, Thought it proper to eave
to and receive the boat. The officer, on coming on
board, stated that he was directed to apologize for the
schooner's firing, as they were not aware of the char
acter of the vessel, and supposed she was a merchant
man. My brother officer on the station seemed to
think that | ought to have returned the shot, and con-
tinued on my course, and | now very much regret
that l did not do so.
This is the history in brief of the painful occurrence
which has created so much conversation.

bill for the organization OF an army Of two hun

loan of SI0 900, to prepare the country for any
contingency that may grow out Of the Oregon ques-
