The Controller of the Currency has
issued circular calling public attention
to recent important amendment of the
National Banking Law. This amend
ment provides that the three hundred mil,
lions contemplated by the bank act be ap-
pOrtioned to the different States and Terri
tories In view of this enactment, no ma
tional banks can be organized until the
examination Of the data on which the ap-
pointment is to be based shall prove that
the State or Territory asking for them is
entitled to them. The Banking Bureau
will soon publish the bank quotas and
credits of the different States. The small
notes ones and twos) for the national
banks are now in the hands of the engrav-
ers. Some time must elapse before they
are issued to the banks; and as the notes
will probably be furnished to the banks
in the order of their organization; recently
formed institutions will not be provided
with them for many months yet

Canada Annexation.

The recent visit of the Hon. r. j.
Walker to Canada has led to considerable
remark and speculation in political circles.
The Montreal Gazette, an able and inhu-
ential Canadian journal, alluding to the
visit OF Mr.. Walker to that country, says
his object was to ascertain the views of
the inhabitants in regard to annexation to
the United States, and to cultivate what
feeling in favor of it ne might find that
he was empowered to assist an annexation
movement with United States money to
the amount of one hundred millions of
dollars; that his propositions have been
the subject ofgrave debate in the Colonial
Cabinet, and that there are signs already
that his efforts have not been without re-
suit. This paper, which uses very strong
denunciatory language regarding the
scheme and its promoters, charges the pri-
vate secretary of Lord Monck, the Cover
nor General, with being an outspoken and
public advocate of the measure. III.
As an offset to this, it has been stated
by Abolition papers, within the last few
days, that Mr.. Walkers visit to Canada
had no reference whatever to the matter
above referred to. The public, therefore,
will .bave to await further developments
