But, to return from this digression.-
The Senate passed the Bank bill with
two rates OF interest for different kinds
of loans, one seven, and The other eight
per cent The House took the liberty
to strike both out, and substitute instead,
six per cent, il a. then returned 10 the
Senate for their concurrence, they refus-
ed to concur and registered a committee
of conference to adjust the difference,
the committee reported by recommend

The Senate ceesG, and six per cent is the
uniform rate of interest for the Bank
of Ohio if it ever goes into operation.

for the protection of fish, were re con,

The Newcastle Bank.

The failure Of this bank appears TO be
a bad one. The cashier has fed. leaving
a deficiency in his account of $50, 1000,
and the present ready means Of the bank
have all been exhausted by the steady
drain upon it caused By sending its pa
per home. The directors are making
active efforts to arrest Wagonseller. the
d%efauliing cashier, and We hope they
may succeed.
The bank has been unfortunate in its
choice Of Cashiers. Ii suffered under
It's first management. because the local
stockholders lef. every thing in the hands
of the scheming adventures from the
East who got CONTROL Of it; ami when
at last these we're got rid of, and the
stockholders took the management into
their own hands. they have found all
their homes; and earnest efforts thwarted
by the acts of their Cashier
We have every reason to believe that
the present Directors Of the Bank are
honest men. and are sure that they have
not been parties to any scheme of fraud
or act of dishonesty. II there has been
any corrupiness practised it has not been
with their knowledge or ~connivance -
II was their misfortune that they did not
begin their work early enough. AMI it is
hardly too much to say that it was their
fault thatthry>d not watch their Cash.
Ter more closely.
The best thing the Directors can DO i
to make a FIR tnk and full statement Of
the condililn % the Bank. No matter
how bad It's condition may he. let the
public know the worst. and let them know,
also, the particulars of ali the losses the
Bank has been subjected to. To this
he public is fairly entitled; and if ther,
as been any dishonesty goiag on. let u
know who the gully p'rtiss are.
