THE SALEM BANK.

Treasurer Quinn with a possee of bulles,
armed to the teath, went to Salem on Monday
morning last, to exact a certain tax from the
Bank, which the Directors claim, and we
think justly too, they have no right to pay uu-
der their charac cter.-That Banks ought be
taxed no one will deny; but they have no
right to be taxed on what they owe as we'll
as what they own. Great fears were enter
tanned by some, that if the Bank refused the
Treasurer's demand, blood would be shed.
The officers of the Bank would not comply
with his request. Quinn raved and foamed
at the mouth-brandished glittering war-like
instruments in the air, and threatened to whip,
kill, break open the vault, &c., but it was no
go--the Cashier was inexorable--and quietly
led the courageous Treasurer out of the Bank,
and closed the door in his face, allaying his
bravery considerably. We would advise Mr..
Quinn to watch the movements OF the Bank,
least he might get 'roped, ,'-Neu Lisbon Pal
iadium.

besides 10000 ounces from adjoining local..
ties, making an aggregate of ,773, ,974 ounces
worth "a sterling or $40 per ounce. This,
however, does not nearly represe mt the entire
amount collected even in Victoria alone, since
the miners retain considerable quantities in
their own hands and it is consequently esti-
mated that the actual produce for the eleven
months cannot have been less than 2,50O 900
ounces, worth ElO,O0O,O0O sterling. The
yield from the gold fields in New South Wales
brought down to Sydney, remains to be ad-
ded, and the recent discovery of an ex ensiye
tract in South Australia will likewise have to
bc taken into account In each of tho three
colonies there is enough, tits now believed to
reward all the population that can pour in for
years. The New South Wales or Sydney
mines have been in great measure neglect
ed, on account Of the scarcity of hands, bnt
they are believed to be almost nterminable in
extent, und in some parts nearly as rich as
Mount Alexander In Victorn.
One large tract of $4,000 acres belongs
to tho Australian Agricultural Company,

is impossible to estimate its wealth. 1t u
bounds likewis with quartz; and some pieces
actually picked from the surface by the Gov
ernment commissioner, and subsequently test
ed at Sydney, were found to yield 8 pounds
ounces per ton, or in sterling value f350 or
G40o. Upon each of the floO shares of this
company the sum paid up is ES5, and less
than year ago they could been purchased for

ply to Her Majesty's settlement at Honduras

out the consent or knowledge of the Senate,
and that in this transaction the executive de-
partment of Gen. Taylor's administration had

RAILROADS..

In every direction throughout the country
the railroad fever is quite high. What will
be the ultimate result is hard to decide, but
it is certain that the business of the country
requires more railroads than we have at pres.
ent--and every newly plowed acre of the
western praries is adding to that amount of
business. Those who are SO fearful that the
railroad business will be run into the Ground.
should bear in mind that the vast resources
OF our country are but in the infancy of de-
velopement, and that each successive year is
adding largely to the internal trade of the
country. So that even should the railroad
fever result in more roads than are at present
wanted, it would be but a very short time be-
fore they would be required, and find profita-
bic employment.
Those who reason from the great losses
sustained by making too many roads in Eng
land, should bear in mind that the resources
OF that country are developed to their fullest
capacity, and hence could bear no analogy to
our own country, and especially to the Grea.
West, where each decade, for many in sue
cession. may double the business now done.
The principal danger is in having too many
parallel roads, too near together. We know
OF no such case in existence at present, or
likely to be so-but in looking to ultimates,
this should be borne in mind.
6FThe most laughable attempt to bore an
auger-hole with small gimlet, that we have
lately seen, is in resolution passed at the
locoioco meeting in this place, on the lst inst.
1t reads as follows:
