Gov. MAEcr.-The following anecdote of
Gov. Marcy, is related by John N Wilder,
of New York. who saw him at Balston Spa,
short time before hi, death. Mr. Wilder
says -
He spoke of the numerous and varied pub
lie positions held by him, his sudden transit
tlon from one to another, and his unprepared-
ness for each at the time of assuming it. Co.
ing from the controllcrship to the bench of
the Supreme Court be regarded as one of the
changes for which be was the least prepared
he told me that, soon after his appointment
an important case came before him for his de-
cision. A note Fad been protested in France
for large amount by some government off,
cial, whose power to protest was disputed =
The papers were given to him. At 6rst sight
he thought it clear case, and wrote an opin-
ion. Then he doubted. and wrote an opinion
on the other side. which entirely anuihilated
the first With his usual fondnoss for Joke
he handed his first opinion to the other judQ-
es. They examined it, and pronounced it to
be good law. Ho then asked them to look at
his opinion on the other side, Thoy did 20,
and had to admit that it was inprognable.

that whether out or in, the members OF the
old Board will do oil in their power to fncii-
itate the operations Of those to whom the
management of the affairs Of the Bank may
be entrusted No man can now say whether
tho assets of the Bank are sufficient to pay its
debts. but that it is possible that by careful
nursing there may be enough left to warrant
further subscription on the part of the stock
holders to .csuscitate the institution
After number of speeches were delivered
aud resolutions denunciatory of the conduct
the late President Of the institution, Thomas
Allibone, passed, h e provisions Of the
Relief Bill were accepted and the meeting ad-
journed
Thus another rag mill has gone by the
board. for We firmly believe that the hope
which = few interested parties hold out that
the Bank may yet be rccuscitated is worse
than nonsense. And as usual in such cases
the laboring classes are the sufferers. The
brokers and "rich merchants" are generally
| too shrewd to be sufferers by Bank suspen-
sions and failures. When the suspension of
the Bank of Pennsylvania was first anuoun-
cod several of the most influential and widely
circulated newspapers in Philadelphia told the
people that no apprehensions need be enter
tanned as to the solvency of the Bank, that
all would soon be right, that neither deposit
ors or note holders could possibly loose any
thing And depositors and note holders were
told the same thing by the city press st the
time of the failure of the Lancaster Bank. "
The investigation Of the affairs Of both OF
those institutions prove that they arc cmphst-
ically rotten and that If their creditor,
ever succeed in obtaining anything for their
just claims it will be after they have fully
tested the truth of the saying of Sterne, THAT
there is no sickness of the heart like thai
which rises from hcpe deferred" This Ger
tainly is wrong. If our city eotemporaries
know nothing Of the condition Of the Bank.
they should not express, opinions with regare
to their solveney calculated to lead innocen
persons astray. We know q number of per
sons who were in possession of notes of th'
Lancaster Bank st the time of its suspension
who might have disposed of them on advan
tageous terms, but owing to the representation
of tho city press, they were induced TO "holt
!, on to them" confidently believing that in
few weeks the Bank would resume business
The result is, that they are heavy losers il
consequence of the confidence which they re
posed in the information contained in thei
daily paper" We have no disposition t
quarrel with our city cotemporaries, but "
do say that if they really know nothing abou
the condition of the Banks, they should 50
nothing about them.

RBMARKABLK DISTANCES OF HsKoIsN. The
Rev Mr. Scuddcr of India, in letter to the
Christian Inteligenccr. gives the following
instances of hsroism, called forth by the Indian
mutinies;
Let Americans never be ashamed that
Englishmer are their forefathers. England
is noble country-her sons are heroes and
her daughters are hcroines. This rebellion
has brought out deeds that deserve to be asso-
eiated with those valourous actions which We,
with throbbing pulses read in history, In
one place, lady and her husband fed in
their carriage He stood upight. She tool
the rcins. She lashed the horses through a
band of muniteers, while he with cool aim shot
one dead who seized the horses heads, and
another who climbed upon the carriage be-
hind to cut him down. On they fed. til
again they found themselves among fees, and
a rope stretched across the road made further
progress appear impossible. True to hersel
she dashed the horses at full speed agains
the rope, and as they, bearing it down, STUN
bled, she, by rein and whip raised them
while her husbands weapons again freet
them from those who succeeded in leapin;
upon them. He was wounded, but boil
escaped with their lives. In another place
young lady, the daughter of an officer
shot seven munitecrs before they killed her
A captain, pressed by his Sepoys. with hi
good sword, slew twenty-six of them befor
he fell. aal
