It is a matter of no small satisfaction to see our bank make so favorable an exhibit of its affairs, The Lancaster Examiner says of the published monthly statement: "The statement of the Columbia. Bank is also published, and shows a greater relative strength or proportion of assets to liabilities than is shown by any other bank whose statement we have yet seen, either city or country. The cash assets of this bank, in proportion its liabilities, are double what would be deemed sufficient in ordinary times. This bank has doubled its specie since the suspension." Both the Farmer's Bank of Lancaster and the Lancaster'County Bank make statements that show our remaining Lancaster mone tary institutions to be in sound condition, and in no immediate danger of following the example of their defunct brethren. The following is a comparison of the con dition of the Banks as shown by the Novem ber slid January statements: COL( NI BIA BANK Nov., 1857. Jan., 1858.

Crumbaugh. County Superin tendent, to the public schools of the bor ough, an impromptu meeting was convened in the lecture room of the Lutheran Church, which was well attended by those interested in the cause of education, and very great interest was manifested by the audience.— The meeting was addressed by Rev. Mr. Crumbaugh, who was followed by Jos. D. Nichols, Principal of the Washington ru.,41 . - tute, Jos. W. Ater, E.g., Rev. J. IL Men ges, 11. M. North, Isq., and Morris D. Wick• ersham, Teacher of Columbia High School. We arc glad to see this sign of awakening on the part of our citizens on the question of education, and trust that the hastily cal led meeting of Tuesday evening will be fol lowed by sonic regular organization which shall have for its end the calling forth and maintaining of a proper degree of interest in the great cause of eilueational advance ment and reform. Wino will move in the matter? KNICKERItot KFR.—The Knickerbocker for January has been received. An unusually god number, with a table of contents that must satisfy the most exacting. The gossip is, if possible, better than ever, and the re view of new books extremely interesting.— The fact is, "Old Knick" has been so bal; - ; a friend that etea were he not the genuine genial old fellow that he is, we could not iitel it in our heart to say nny lAA a good word of him.

The borough election, held on Monday, the 4th inst., resulted- in the choice of liar ford _Fraley, Chief Burgess; John Hippey, Asst. Burgess; Jacob C. Pfuhler, Peter Fra ley and Isaac Posey, Councilmen; Richard Derrick, High Constable, and Dr, D. Rehrer and Wm, F. Given, School Directors. Although these officers were elected by a party - vote, and were opposed by regularly nominated candidates, yet we think it will he generally conceded they are, most of them,, gentlemen who have taken too little part in politics, either local or general, to be classed as partizans. We therefore look to them for the banishment of the political element from our borough government, and earnestly hope that the petty proscription of competent offi cers on party grounds which has prevailed for some years, will be allowed to die out as unworthy and contemptible. The miserable little spoils of borough office should not be made the subject of petty wrangles, but all incumbents, if they have ably and attentively discharged their duties, be permitted to re tain their situations regardless of their opin ions. As far as we know tho borough offices are no sinecures; on the contrary the few hundreds of dollars paid out annually in salaries are fairly earned, and we can see no good reason why tenure of office should depend upon either Democracy or Ameri canism, to say nothing of Republicanism.-- We know too little of the affairs of the town within the last few years to .11. s. upon any one of the parties the inauguration of this pitiful game of decapitation—the reduction to borough calibre of the great national principle, "to the victors belong the spoils;" but it is very positively charged by the De mocracy upon the Americans, when they first took the country by surprise as the "Know Nothing" party. If this be the case I now is the time to remedy the evil. In the I present Council the Americans arc in a ma jority, and an effort on the part of this ma i joriry to exclude all party distractions from t he deliberations and acts of our municipal government would receive the support of all good citizens, and be attended with good re sults. The gentlemen elected on Monday are one and all able, excellent men. We offer our sincere congratulations to Mr. Fraley on his election to the seat of the Chief Burgess. We shall be very much disappointed in the man, if he does nut make au energetic and popular officer. POLICE FrEms.—On Friday, January Ist, Thos. Flood, a youthful rowdy, 11 years old, assaulted Wm. Strickler, 12 years old, strik ing him with a slung shot, cutting his head severely. Flood is one of a basin crowd, which travels under the name of "Basin Guards," and Strickler was one of a juven ile party engaged in celebrating New Year, with martial music, procession, &c. These basin boys had been supplied with an abun dance of liquor from some quarter, and a number of them, Flood among others, were shamefully intoxicated. On hearing of the circumstance, a warrant was issued by Jus tice Welsh, for the arrest of Joseph Conklin, John Dorwart, Dennis Collins and Thomas Flood, but time young rowdies had become alarmed and have not been heard of to thi• date. Thu basin region of our borough is a fine field for missionary labor. On Monday, January 4th, four Germans were brought before Esquire Welch charged by Christian Breneman, of Henry Clay Fur nace, with chasing and frightening his chil dren. The children, on return from school, reported having been pursued by four men, in the woods through which they passed.— A posse of men immediately started from the furnace and found the defendants in the woods, arrested them and brought them be fore the .Justice, who held them to bail flq. a further hearing on Saturday, 9th instant. Synopsis of the Governor's Message Th,: third annual message of Governor Pollock Iva...t presented to the Legislature on Tuesday morning. Being too lengthy for our colums, we give below a synopsis of its leading features: The finances of the State are reported in a favorable condition. The aggregate ex penditure of the last fiscal year, ending November 30, was $5,407,276 79; the re ceipts for the same period were $1,600,- 387 84. The ordinary expenses were but ti'3,092,370 29. The extraordinary pay ments were $1,411,005 50: principally on account of public works. The balance in the treasury December 21, was $528,106 47. The funded debt amounts to $39,705,592 52, unfunded, $175,145 70, including $116,421 relief notes still in circulation. Total debt. $39,881,733 22, a reduction of $820,007 55 during the year. In the last three years the reduction has been $1,186,857 52. The sinking fund amounts to $414,920 29 to be applied, with $7,500,000 in bonds of Penn sylvania Railroad Company, to the reduc tion of the funded debt. The Governor recommends the sale of the remaining public workg, as their revenue falls short of the necessary expenditures.— He also recommends the repeal of the Ton nage Tax. A free banking system, based on public •ecuritics, is recommended. The financial .•risis is commented upon, and in the Gover nor's opinion the pre4ent tariff is one of the cau , e , of the depression. A portion of the message is devoted to Educational topic•, and attention is called to the carious public institutions of the State. r..7rtor; or trauirrges orCor.cunte Pt - u- LTC GROUND C414PA:517.—L.t. nn eitetlo4. held at the Town Hall, on Saturday, January 2. 1555.

Aumsox AGAix.—Aubison or Robinson, the burglar who gave some of our good citi zens so much trouble and furnished them with a subject fur much gossip a few weeks since, has been at his pranks in the county prison as will appear from the following from the Lancaster Examiner: DoN't LIKE His QUARTERS.—A fellow cal ling himself Edward Robinson, confined in the county prison on a charge of robbing Felia's,jeuclry store in the borough of Cul umb:a, attempted to escape from his warm but rather contracted quarters on Saturday night. Ile was in the upper tier of cells, and having made a rope of his bed clothing. was prepared to make his exit through a hole which he had made in the wall. Un fortunately fur him, however, the hole was made too small, fur after getting his head and shoulders through he stuck fast, in which interesting "fix" he was discovered by the watchman and keeper. After he was drawn from his hole, be was placed in another cell and securely ironed. FDITORI ti CHANGES. -WC Inn! noticed last (reek the change in the editorial department of our neighbor, the Inland Daily Times, but by sonic mistake the item was not set up. Mr. H. L. Goodall took leave of the readers of that paper on Dec. 29, in a vale dictory, and at the same time Mr. Stauffer, of the Mount Joy Herald, made his bow as Mr.Goodall's successor. We wish both gen tlemen success. 3lr. li. F. Thomas has retired from the York Eagle, act' is suemeded by Mr. Adam S. Pfliegor. The now editor has our pro found sympathy. THEFT.—On Monday last, James Farley was arrested and brought before Justice Welsh on the charge of stealing ropes from the out-let locks. The evidence against the accused was very strong, and in default of bail he was committed for trial. The stolen property was recovered by deputy constable J. W. Hamilton, in the Blue Front Oyster Saloon where the prisoner harbored. We understand that the proprietor of the oyster cellar has been hold to bail on the charge of receiving stolen goods. There has been much of this kind of pil fering about the canal, and from boats, but Justice Welsh is posted in this matter, and will keep an eye on these wharf rats. They will find him awake, and very apt to be down on them. For the Columbia Spy EdLcational. An educational meeting of a highly in teresting chatacter was held in the Lutheran Church, on Tuesday evening, the sth inst. The County Superintendent was in attend ance, and addressed the meeting in an ap propriate and able manner, setting forth plainly, yet forcibly, the duties of parents, directors and teachers, in this great work of education. The speech of the Superinten dent appeared to infuse new life into those assembled, and awaken a greater interest in the cause of common schools, than perhaps had been felt in Columbia fur years before. The must pleasing feature, however, was the multiplicity of speakers; the Superintendent being followed by several gentlemen whose remarks ii.dicated that they felt a strong desire fur the proper training of the rising generation, and, therefore, an entire willing- ncss on their part to farther the best in terests of the public schooie. —At the above named meeting one of o.e speakers took occasion to refer to the visita- ' tion of schools by the directors; said indi vidual has now reason to believe that his real meaning was misunderstood, and hence I a wrong impression was produced upon the minds of the auditory. If so, it is a duty he owes alike to the Board of Directors, to the patrons of the schools and to himself—to announce, publicly, that it was by no means his intention either to cast reflections upon the directors for any course they deemed expedient to pursue in the past, or to dictate to them in the future; much less was it the desire of the speaker to convey the idea that none of the directors had visited his school, because a majority of them merit thanks for actual visits, at different times, in said school. In case an erroneous opinion was formed, from the language employed by the gentleman, it is hoped this explanation of the matter will correct it. A Pot.; rICAL DEADLY CLI YATE.—The GUY ernors of Kansas ore a short-lived race— real p lineal ephemera. Governor No. 1, A. 11. Reeder—reached nansas October 6, removal July 31st.

Longaker, Dem., as Speaker of the House, and Wm. IL Welsh, Dem., Speak er of the Senate. Both gentlemen were sworn in, delivered inaugural addresses, and proceeded to qualify the members. In the Legislature, on Wednesday, the Senate elected Wm. 11. Miller, Chief Clerk; and the rest of the candidates nominated by the Democratic caucus were also elected— Sergeant-at-Arms, Doorkeeper, etc. The Republicans voted for the officers of the pre vious session. A resolution was passed to pay the salaries of the retiring officers. The Auditor General sent in the usual tabular statement of the condition of all the banks in the Commonwealth, which was laid on the table. A resolution was adopted to ap• point a committee to contract for the publi cation of a daily legislative record. A com munication was received from Samuel Haz ard, asking an appropriation to complete the publication of the Pennsylvania Colonial Records. Tho annual message of Governor Pollock was received and read in both Houses. In the House of Representatives all the Democratic caucus nominees for of fices were elected. Tne United States sloop-of-war Saratoga arrived at :Norfolk on Saturday, from San Juan, having on board the portion of Gener al Walker's men sent home by Commodore Paulding. General Denver, the new Governor of Kansas, it is affirmed, has declared openly his approval of the course of Walker and Stanton, and that the Administration is mistaken if it supposes he will not follow their example. At the urgent request of a large party of free State men from Law rence, Governor Denver has given up to them the arms taken by Governor Geary during his administration, from the large body of immigrants who reached Kansas by the northern route. General Eldridge gave a bond that they should not be used for ten days, which of course includes the elec tion on the 4th. I= Congress resumed its sittings on Monday, after the holiday recess. In the Senate Mr. Di is, of Miss., introduce] a joint resolution to define the authority of the President—un dcr the act to amend the naval reform law. Mr. Fitzpatrick, of Alabama, offered a res olution, which was adopted, asking the Pres ident fir information, relating to the cap ture of Walker, Cum. Paulding's instruc tions, &c. Mr. Pugh introduced a bill fur the admission of Kansas as a State. It pro vides fur the admission of Kansas under the Leeompton Constitution, but requires the slavery clause to be submitted to a popular votcon theith of April next. The act nullifies the provisions 'if the Lecompton constitution, in regard to the public lands and the amend ment or abolition of the constitution. In the House, a letter from N. P. Banks, noting his resignation was submitted. Mr. Clingman, reported from Committee on Foreign Affairs, a resolution requesting of the President information concerning the seizure of Walker, &e., which was received and debated. A resolution was passed in instructing the Committee on Territories to report whether the organic act of Utah ought to be repealed, and Utah attached to an ad joining Territory. A committee of five was ordered to be appointed, to investigate the facts of the sale of the Fort Snelling reserva tion. On Tuesday, in the Senate, a bill provid ing fur the payment of the French Spolia tion claims was referred to a select commit tee of seven. A bill was introduced to amend the coinage act, relative to half dol lar and smaller silver coins. In the House the ueutrality laws were discussed. On Wednesday, in the Senate, Mr. Crit tenden spoke on his resolutions in favor of increasing the duties on imports. Mr. Pitch moved an amendment taxing bank notes.— Both resolution and amendment were laid on the table. Mr. Cameron presented one hundred and six petitions from citizens of Philadelphia against locating the city post office in the old bank of Pennsylvania. In the House, bills were reported from the Committee of Ways and Means and Commerce—the appropriation bill fcr the support of the Military Academy at West Point, and a bill fir the amendment of the act providing for the security of the lives of passengers on hoard steam vessels. On Thursday, in the Senate, Mr. J. H. Hammond, Senator from South Carolina, took his seat. The message from the President, in rein. tion to the seizure of Walker, was received and discuizsed• Both Senate and House adjourned to Monday next. By the arrival at N. 1 , on Wed nesdny, the steamship Atlantic, from Liverpool, with dates to the 23d ult., we have news from Europe four days later than any previously received. The message of President Bu chanan has been published in the London papers and favorably criticized. Messrs. Klindenger & Brothers, of Liverpool, have faled, with liabilities reaebing nearly half a million. Nothing later from India has been received. An earthquake has occurred at Naples, causing great damage and loss of life. The earthquake in the kingdom of Naples was severely felt in the towns of Sa lerno, Potenza, and Nola. Numerous vil lages are half destroyed, and the telegraph despatch says that thousands have perished. This, it is hoped, will prove an exaggeration. The East India Company has been formally notified of the Ministers' intention to termi nate the dauble government of India.— There is better feeling in the London money market, and discounts are readily made at S per cent.
