JR Henderson, Esq., delivered before the X T nion Fire Co. on Thursday evening of Inst week. From those who were present, wo learn that the speaker acquitted him handsomely, and that his address abounded in much useful and interesting information. ft'T’Wc arc indebted to Gov. Gbary, of Kan* sas, for a copy of his Message to the T/Ogislaturc of that territory. It is a well-written and able document, from which we may have occasion to publish extracts.

I \£y s ' The Treasurer of (lie United Stales rep resents the joint indebtedness of the several States aa reaching $100,000,0(10, and that of the General Government *at s:iO t (iUO.(iUO ma king a total of $220.000,000,n00.0d0. The figures appear large, but when compared with the indebtedness of Great Bniian, lliey arc quite insigniticant. Indeed, our loin) debl.j State and National, is not equal to one year's , interest of/the National Debt of the United i Kingdom, cdrijfhiting it at our rate of interest, I si* per cent. This exhibits a big liitTercnce in the pecuniary liabilities of (he two countries. [The Kne (,’ily Bank has closed its doors, owing as some of its apologists very truthful ly say, to the "hedvy outside pressure.” This is one of the banks created two years ago as belonging to the “judicious increase.” The Cermitritnini Trlrpi uph trusts that the legis lature wilt be be very careful how it yields Ibis Ression to similar “public necessities" for new banks.
