LARGE Hank Capitals.

The Metropolitan Bank in New York has
increased its capital from three to four mil
million dollars. and will soon advance it to
five million. and then will be-it is thought
only in it's infancy. The Independent
says, the thank which soonest obtains q
capital of s25 ,0o0, 900, with officers and di-
rectors who understand their business, and
have the sciH to do their duty, that bank will
soonest command a position and prosperity
unparalleled in the nation. Large sums
should no longer Brighten us. We want no
more small Banks
The accumulation of immense capitals, I'M
der the control of few men, may not alarm
New York spectators. who. through such
agencies, may control the produce and trade
of the UNDERWRITING all industry and in
terests in the country tributary to their
enormous profits, which are rolling up impe-
rial fortunes in few nabob hands;-but to
the patriot and philanthropist, such concen-
tration of the power of Capital is the cause
of serious alarm. for the social and political
welfare of the country.

CoRN-The Lafayette Courier SAYS an ac-
curate estimate was made last week of the
quantity of corn still held by the farmers on
Wea Prairie in that vicinity, to be about
100, 900 bushels. This Prairie contains 10,
700 acres of tillable soil. which in good sea-
son will average 40 bushels to the acre. De-
Quoting the breadth usually sowed in wheat
and other crops, the Wea Prairie produces
corn enough to feed the inhabitants and
stock upon it, and ships 100000 bushels
Last year the crop was not more that one
fourth of an ordinary yield, and scarcely
more than enough for the farmers, own con-
sumption. In an ordinary year this COM
munity sell 100000 bushels of corn at 80 to
35 cents, amounting to $4,000 or sl75 900.
This year nearly the whole product has been
consumed at home. This creates a grea,
difference in the pecuniary affairs Of q COM
munity occupying space of ten miles
square.

THE NEW SHIP YARD.-The Saw Mill for
the purpose of saving timbers to be used in
building steamboats,, progresses rapidly
The long expected time, when first class
steamers are to be built and equipped at this
point seems about to come upon us. We have
all the materials for ship boilding in profus-
ion, and at cheaper rates than they can be OBJ
tanned elsewhere, and we believe that boats
can be built here at 10 per cent less than at
New Albany. Within the next year the mat
ter will be fully tested, and if so, our steam
boat yard will become one Of the greatest
sources of wealth to the city. Mr.. TILEsToN
is hurrying forward his work and will be pre-
pared to contract for boat building, in the

Dull TIaEs.-Never within the recollec-
ton of that respected individual, ''the oldest
inhabitant,n has there been such dull times
on the river. when it was in a boatable stage.
A dispatch from New Orleans to Captain
Williamson of the Susquehanna. states that
not one hundred tons was in that city for the
Ohio river. rates ruinously low, and the pas
sengers travel at a very low cbh. The Vicks
burgh packets were laying up Louisvillestea-
mers departing with less than paying trips,
and the Ohio boats not receiving enough to
pay fuel expenses.
At Cincinnati boats find it impossible to
get full loads to any point. Freights are low
and very little is being shipped. Whether
the short crops have caused this unusual dull
ness among the steamboats,, we are not able
to say. Some idea of the scarcity Of freight
may be Judged from the fact that the Eclipse
lay at our wharf nearly half day to get 500
sacks of corn at twenty cents sack, and the
T. C. Twichell and Baltic were here all night
whiting for small lots of tobacco at $3@3 80
HID to New Orleans. The st. Louis pa
pers say that all the boats running from that
port are losing money, and there is no pros
pect of better times coming. In view of these
facts, many boats have laid up for an indef-
mite period, the owners being determined
that no money shall be lost.
This season will have an injurious effect
upun boat builders. There are less boats be-
ing built at Pittsburgh than any season be-
fore, for several years. and more boats have
been sold under executions this spring thar
during the previous year. The interests o
steamboats, and steamboatmen are identified
with the towns along our Western streams
and business men ashore" sympathize Will

.R- 1t is said the Monnons have adopted
a new alphabet of thirty-six letters for their
own use, for the purpose Of raising up bar
rier between the Saints and Gentiles. Inces-
tuous marriages between the dearest kin is
tolerated. A correspondent of the Wash

dent among them, says one of the dignitaries
of the church is married to his own halt
sister, and that George A. Smith, brother OF
Prophet 10. insisted upon being sealed to his
own sister, and obtained the sanction of the
elders to the union, bat the adherence of the
sister could not be overcome. These enormi-
ties seem to be beyond belief.
