Mr. Syme informed the House in an ca eothedro
tone, as sort of menace, that if the provision
was inserted the banks would not accept the
measure.
Mr.. Harvie wanted to know what right Mr..
Syme had TO speak for the banks. He supported
Mr.. Conway's resolution as one of the best hits
made TO day
Mr.. Carroll said the amendment was evident
ly intended to kill the bill He hoped the House
would vote it down, which was done-ayes SO,
noes 81.
The question then came up on Mr.. Carrolrs
amendment which was carried, and the House
adjourned.

THEFRANkING PRlyIIEs; OF pGsruAsrrps-
The Postmaster General has decided that when a
Postmaster is agent, or chooses temporarily TO act
as an agent for publisher. he has power 10 frank
letters forwarding subscriptions to such publishers
The language OF the Postmaster Generali is explicit
on me pom! mat The power OF Thanking all subserip-
ton letters is given to the Postmasters, with the
mere understanding that in doing so he is acting as
the agent OF the publisher and not as the agent OF
the Department.. He further states that the fact of
postmaster iranking letters toa publisher will be
regarded by the Department the presumption
that he IS an agent for the publisher. IT, therefore
any OF the new pestmasters should have doubt as
to thei! privileges in this respect, they now have
the official decision of the Department en- this

GOLDEN PROSPECTS OF COL. FREMONT

The last Philadelphia News contains letter
from this city; stating :tha letters have been re-
ceived BY Mr. Benton from Colonel Fremont, i'll
which the interchangeable exporator states that up
on piece of ground purchased by him, near the
bay OF San Francisco, gold mine has been dis
covered, which in magnitude and wealth exceeds
anything OF the kind ever found in California
II is not a placer, but natural mine, in which
the virgin mineral is concealed in all its purity
without being difiused by volcanic action through
out whole acres and lost in the sands Of the sur
face. Cooley, Preuss, and others of his early
associates whom he took with him on his tour
shiiher, are the conductors of the mine, and are
now, according to these letters, rolling in aiflu-
ence, and WELD a noneyed influence more po-
tent than the weahiest of our Atlantic nabobs. 8
May their shadows never grow less, nor their
pipes, of hicht they severaly We're so passionate
ly fond ever cease to curl with the smoke of COM
fort and conlentment!

We have received an engraved portrait OF MIR
L. A. Cooley, editor of the Lady's Book. Not
knowing this gentleman personally, though long
acquainted with him us the editor OF the most
popular periodical in the country, we cannot
speak as to the accuracyof the likeness; but,
admitting it to be faithful, we are not surprises!
that he should be considered "a love OF d man.
by the ladies, for he has noble person and hand
some features. 1t will arpearin the February
number ofthe Lady's Book.
Mir. Cooley is among the most successful pub
fishers OF the notion. Twenty years ago he
entered on the experiment OF publishing the
Lady Book IAN experiment considered The more
hazardous from the splendid and expensive man
ner III " which the work WITS issued. 1t was L
novel undertaking i'll this country, and required
tact judgement and perseverance, to make il
succt ssul. MIR. Cooley overcanle all obstacles,
and has succeeded in obtaining for the work an
unexalnpled patronage, ard a favor with the
public hic! cannot be shaken. He has ac-
CURED handsome property by his industry and
enterprise, and pays annually, large sum to
literary correspondents, Of HON he has great
number OF fine talents and taste. A new volume

CoMrouND INrEREsr-few Persons have a
correct idea Of the effect which unwisely accu.
mulated debt and quarterly dividends of interest
paid thereon, have upon the fortunes of nation,
a family or an individual. A bottle of wine four
hundred years old was drank one day at Presi-
dent Tylers table, and a calculation made of its
cost on the superstition That the price was half a
dollar at first, and that the i,,teres, on that hall
dollarhad been collccledonc every three months
and also laid out at interest during the AGO wears
compound interest on so cents amounted to some

relative TO non intercourse with Austria, was Tin.

was advocated by Mr.. HALE, and opposed by
Mr.. CLAY, on the ground that its effect would b
to cause the American Government to informed
die with the internal affairs of other nations.-
This line Of conduct, Mr.. c. ccrltended, would
be contrary to the usages Of the American Gov
eminent. When Mr.. c. closed his remarks, Mr.
