<Hng-a fow-at-U,50 and_s6 per 100 lbs. About 100

unsold. Live not so abundant as last week,
and rates have improved a shade; the prices paid were
abouts3,so, bankable money, wjjich is alsP'ashigh,
probably, us dressed hogs will command in those funds.

Tub fibND Question. —Tho loading question de
cided at.the recent election in Mississippi, was whether
tho State should or should not pay n loan amounting
to five millions of dollars which GovrMeNuttand
the Democratic party'alleged was sold in violation of
the law. This question entered into tho canvass, and i
tho result is that a considerable majority of tho people 1
refuse to pay tho loon. No disposition is manifested j
to question tho liability of the State to pay all its
other debts.*
, Tho New York Herald has the following article,
which will throw,light on the subject:
These bonds were created for the establishment of j
the Mississippi Union Bank. Tho the
Mississippi Union Bank prescribes not only the sub- 1
stance, hut tho form of tho bonds, and provides that i
they shall bo in "the sum of two thousand dollars each,
“which sum tho said State of Mississippi promises to '
pay in current nwiici/ of the United\ States? to tho
order of tiro Bank, with interest at the rote of 5 per j
cent per annufii, payable half yearly, ut the place j
named .Jn Iho.cndorsemcntjof the bonds. Thoaeffur- J
thcr provides that said bonds shall not bo sold under |
their par value. The 1 bonds so created were delivered ‘
to the Commissioners, J. C. Wilkins, E. C,-Wilkin-j
eon, and W. M. Picknnrd, Eaqrs. Those |
in May 1838, applied to Nicholas Biddle, for a sale of
the bonds, A contract was finally cntcrcd-into, by
which Mr. Biddle bought tho bonds in his o,wn name,
endorsed by tho Bank, in order to evade thc-law which
forbids the bank to buy stock. Mr. Biddle purchased
the bonds on time, and tho payment was altered from
tho current money of tho United Statcs. fts prescribed
by the law, to tho currency of Great Britain. The
Bank received in part payment tho post notes of tho
U Jf S. Bunk.’ Gov. McNutt refused to acknowledge!
this contract, and cautioned the public by proclamation,
hot to purchase the remaining $5,000,000. The leg
islature made no provision for the payment of thp in
terest, and tl’id United States Bank having a large part
of tho bonds on hand, advanced the interest abroad to
sustain the credit of the Slate, representing that tho I
State Had paid. ’When tho U. S. Bank failed was
unable to go on paying, and then Hope & Co. of Am
sterdam, addressed n,letter to Gov. McNutt, calling his
attention to the fact- In the answer of Gov. McNult,
dated July, 1841, he goes ut length into the rwisons for
npt paying, sumining up as follows
' The, State, therefore, denies"all obligation to pay.tho
bonds held in trust by you-for the following reasons
Ist, The bonds were sold on a credit.
2d. The currency in which the bonds were inado
payable, was changed from current money of tho UnU
ted States, to pounds sterling of Great Britain, at tho
rate of four shillings and sixpence to the dpllar,
’3d. I’he contract of sale was fraudulent, *.
4th. Tho Bank,of the United States was notautlior
ized to make the purchase.

The bondholders have the cndorseirtcnt of the U.
S. Bank and the Union Bank; The.conimittcc of the
U. S. Bank' slated that Biddle had no uuthorily to
make the contract, , The .Union Bank has made an
assignment of nil its property, and. notified all claim
ants upon the Bank to file their claims within eight
frpm the assignment, all such to ho preferred
creditors. ■ The bank is utterly insolvent and eannot
pay its liabilities independent of its endorsement—its
money is selling at 30 cents on tho dollaL Governor
McNutt went to the people with tho question of pay
ing or not paying, on the ground he assumed, and tlio
result is a decision in his 'favor. This is tho state of
affairs in Mississippi. . *
The London Banker's Circular .has the following
parhgraplvwhich cuts hoipc: .. .
“The "affair of the United.Stales-Bank-is 100-impor
tant to be huddled into a paragraph, amongst other,
juatters; it.must have one iojtsclf. The proportion of
its capital hsld by British subjects, is nearly four smil
lione sterling; it may bo described ns an entire loss.—
And tins loss wo venture upon some .consideration to
say, is greater than the aggregate of all the losses sus
tained by the inbabitants of the British islands from
the failure of banks in this country, since Mr. Patter
son established tho banks.of England and Scotland at
the dose of. tho seventeenth century. The small pop-*
illation of Guernsey and Jersey hold £260,000 of tho.
stock of this United States Bank* Call it an entire
loss, and'it is cqbalto a levy of three dr four ,-pounds
on every-man woman and child in tho whole commu
nity of those islands—a sum greater than was ever
raised by 'taxation in a single year on any people in.
tho whole world. Arc these important facts?—-if facts
they be. Then let statesmen meditate upon them,’for
by, th’cir.crrorfl and reckless confidence in delusive
ries they have been produced.”
President Tti.t.r has directed a Nolle Prosequi to
be entered by the District Attorney, in the case of the
prosecution ?jjgainst the individuals indicted for a
breach of the' peace at or near the President's "House,
in the month of August last, (on the night following
the, first' Veto.) The President, in his letter to thd
District Attorney, says:, “It was one of those out
breaks of, popular feeling. incident, in some degree, to
our form of Government, and entirely evanescent and
harmless in its character.. My confidence in the good
sdnsq and becoming feeling of .the people of. the Dis
trict loads me to believe that there will bo no danger; of
a similar occurrence in future, and !thnt therefore
those who have.'been betrayed into a thoughtless pro
ceeding-will not ta repeal it.”

of the New_York Express, .(Whig,) says:—“The
country I see begins to bo on tiptoo for tho fiscal

his last veto message, * The pledge will be carried out,
no doubt of that. The President will bo found in oil
respects, a man of his word.” • A°d again:—“l have
rio doubt, that tho .President will recommend some
Fiscal Agency—no corporation though in any form—
which, in many respects, perhaps in’all, will answci
tho, purposes of a National Bank. It may make ua
Whigs, to adopt it, take back something we have said
upon currency. Tho’prido of opinion, perhaps, will
forbid, reason and tho necessity of the! country .will
urge us to do it nevertheless.” 1 ' . ’ *•'

An Impoutant Decjsxox.— The Enlistment of
Aliena Illegal, —A ease of very groat interest and af
fecting deeply tho-Military service of tho United States,
bos been tried before tho Honorable Richard H. Baker,
during tho lute'term of tho Superior Court of Norfolk
county, from which wo learn these particulars, viz;
that it was the ease of George Coltingham, who was
brought before tho Court upon a vrnsoi habeas corpus
directed to Col. Fanning, the commandant of Fortress
Monroe, By the return upon the writ, it appeared
that Cotlingham was a soldier under Coir Fanning’s
command, and that die had been regularly enlisted in
the Army of the United States. In tho petition for
tho habeas corpus, Cottingham alleged that ho was
born in Dublin, and that ho was at tho time of his
enlistment a subject of Great Britain, and that ho had
never been naturalized as a citizen of tho United States,
or 'taken any steps to become so—and that therefore
liis enlistment was illegal and . void, and that ho'was
entitled to-his discharge from tho military sorvico of
tho United States. Tho original enlistment was pro
duced, and the fuel of alienage established by evidence,
and no.proof .adduced, to prove Iris naturalization,—
Tho single question /or tho decision of the Couft was
whether an alien could bo lawfully enlisted in the
Army of the United-States. Tho case was elaborately
and ably, argued by Robert Q. Nicholas, Esq., U. S.
Dish- Attorney,- against tho petitioner, and by Jos.'So
gar and Thomas R; Gray, Esqs., in his favor. In tho
argument of tho question, the general principles of
natural and municipal law applicable to aliens, their
capacity to make contracts, and their right to engage
in a foreign military service, tho-right of expatriation,
the acts of Congress relative to tho Army and Navy,
providing for enlistments therein, and many other
interesting and ‘important matters were discussed.—
Judge Baker, after mature consideration, decided that
the enlistment of an alien was illegal, and. that there
fore the petitioner was entitled to his.discharge. It is
the intention of tho District Attorney to apply to tho
Court of Appeals for a writ of error to tho Judgment
of iho Court.— Baltimore Sun*
United States Bank.— Wo learn says Dio Phil
adelphia Chronicle, that tlio Government of the United
States has filed a. bill, in, equity m.the U. S, Circuit'
Court of Pennsylvania, nghinst'the Bank of tho Ui
States, the object of which is to annul oil tho assign
ments made by the Bunk as fraudulent, and to appoint
a icccivor to take into his possession the funds of the
Bank. If, us seems to be the general impression, thin
application succeeds, thclconßcqucncc will be that all
tho property .of 'tho Bonk will go into tho hands of
the receiver, to pay its debts pro rata.' The ‘most im
portant question for the note-holders is how it will
affect them. It seems to us that if tho $7,700,000 of
assets is.taken out of the possession of the first class
of Trustees, it removes the special ,security for tho
.five.millions of post notes now held by tho city banks;
that the city banks, p.resscd by their., creditors,- will
then bo obliged to sell these notcs’Tdr wHHt they Avilf
bring, and thus an amount of five millions of notes of
the Bunk of tho United Stqtes will bo forcciUnto the

.a town.in Rockingham county put an end to 1 her ex
istence while 'very feeble* of a confinement; the infant
lived to the age of sixteen or seventeen, when, a few
yearB :sinco,-:hc, drowned himself—upon which the
father became very gloomy, and lost winter ho com
mitted suicide by drowning, and his elderly and ven
erable father was driven to absolute and permanent in
sanity by this act of. his son. Yet the chapter* of
mental aliehation ends not here: for, a few days since,
the brother of him who, was found in Charles river
lost June, went to Exeter to prove his brother's will
at the Probate, Office in that to.wn, when arid where
ho attempted suicide by jumping into the rivcr ncar
the bridge !, After remaining in the water some time,
he was discovered, taken* out, and resuscitated. N -
„ This family was in very easy-circumstances; and the
one who put a period to his cxistctlCo in Febiuar? last,
but whoso body was not found until months after his
death, has several times represented.his toyvn in our
Slnto Legislature, and has served two or three years
in the Senate front the second Senatorial district. •
