    much the restoration of clerical intoler
ance, that no one can persuade himself it
mav be excluded from the Papal train.
Should the Pope neglect to prepare the
va\ for In? return, it will be a troubled
one.
SPAIN". —It appears that Nnrvacz has
taken ample vengeance on all the parties
who wort instrumental in tripping his
heels, lie has dismissed the King from
i.,s post as keeper of the palace, and im
prisoned a priest and a monk as the'in
struments ot the King's poiic\ .
The new American Minister at the
Court has formally presented himself, and,
with much tact and skill disclaimed, in the
name ot his President, the doings of the
party who proposed to seize upon Cuba.
ENGLAND. —The English press devote
much space to the consideration of the
Canadian annexation address, and its tone
and temper is highly commended. The
London '1 lines says, that by whomsoever
the documents is proposed or concocted,
it reflects great credit on the tact, skill and
adroitness of its authors.
In speakingof the possible assent of Eng
land to annexation ol Canada tojhe United
States, the Times says:—'Yet the con
duct of the people will be directed by mo
tives of prudence and interest alone—if
they think they can do without Canada
then, and then only will they give up
Canada.
' But in surrendering Canada, they will
t ike care not to surrender one jot of sea
or land, the possession of which nearly
snd effectively concerns the maratime ami
commercial importance of Great Britain.
• They will not cede Nova Scotia—
thev will not cede Cape Breton—they
will not rede those seaboards ami harbors,
which must ever command the mouth of
the Si. Lawrence, and protect the trade of
the Atlantic.'

Money Matters, Trade. &c,
Delaware City Bank.
Attract from a letter to a gentleman of this
* : '.r.ty, dated
PHILADELPHIA, November 13, 1840.
•ray here remark, that while your cominu
" !<• naturally very sensitive about Bank j
'• m view of their past experience, still, be- j
? . de to the use of a paper currency, and
*- r ability of its being of a mixed cnarac
'• 're are I conceive good reasons why that
1 ien,itiveness should induce a decided
tJfl (heir part for Delaware City Bank j
'■i ir Uead of a distrust of the same. I will
reasons, knowing personally that
farts, and you can for yourself judge if
"i" fusions are sound.
' I lit Capital Stock paid in is paid with
'■'> stockholder having asked a loan to
instalments with. The capital stock
is a hona fidr investment of money for
and is not held in any one case as a
for borrowing from the Bank. That ;
storj, this dav whole and unimpaired,
lh 're i tl „ t this "day in i's asets a single j

1
* '•) the ' barter the Directors are made li
■' ; l " the public for the debts of the Bank in ,
, of the Bank becoming indebted be -
- fn< i .| very restricted limit, which li
ten incurred.
'J.ii i i t thus inmle personally lia
fr- > interested in the stock ; are not
! i a;.s from the Bank ; are of g"d |
' ■ r moral character and as business ;
■naturally will give their careful at- j
I, t '' the management of the Hank, because
I. 3 large part of the stock, and besides
El, ' K i ,r ro/ially liable in their private pro
y carelessly let the Bank become j
►' 'hrectorr alone decide on applies- {
' the ofLi ers not !/•!•<£ authorised
to' any , and with fair business qualifies
on t0 l,er ! ' tIVrS fo [ S ivi "S caref 'il atten
wi oJ7h * ■*' UiS hardl - v likel - v that they
i__ .i •" ie ca " ! ' l capital stock, or so conduct 1
1 their orivat f* l ° bocome object to the loss of
uieir pri\ ate property also.
Other reasons might be stated, but 1 conceive
SviH i V r a r e , SUffi - cicnt " 11 is P' ai, i that the in
i liability teature in the Charter, and the
prompt publication of the Card by the stock- ;
: holders has not only established a well ground- 1
ed confidence with the public wherever the
signers ot the Card are known, but it has also !
created a deeply seated secret hostility with
parties connected with some of the weak Banks,
that are now very widely extended, and exist
only by the absence of anv material call on
them for coin. They Jive by the forbearance
jot the Brokers, and obtain the same only by
pa) ing for it. But Broker* are dangerous props
17 a weak Bank, and will abandon her when the
blood is about gone, leaving the public to hold
| the empty carcass. The Delaware City Bank
is in poor odor with a part of the Brokers, be
cause she will not buy favors from them ; but 1
j think it may be fairly assumed by the public
j that whenever a Bank gets into partnership j
with a Broker to speculate on her own paper, ;
j there is reason to be cautious of her notes. The
j Delaware City Bank keeps funds at the Bank of
the Northern Liberties to meet all her notes of
' and upwards. It the law allowed our city-
Banks to take small notes also, they would be
equally protected. At her counter all her cir
culation has ben promptly redeemed with gold
i or silver on presentation ; and with the excep
i tion of the visits ola certain Broker in this city,
who has vainly hoped to embarrass her, there
• has not been at any time any run on her, or any
manifestation of the slightest distrust. The !
Broker above referred to has on every visit
j been paid American half dollars promptly for
j all the notes be has presented ; and the secret
j of his displeasure is the fact that the Bank re
fuses to give him large notes for the small notes
he brings, but insists on his taking coin for such
notes. It is a new feature to asail the standing
j of a Bank because she insists on paying specie,
j and yet her insisting on paying specie is the
I real cause for the insinuations against her,
which have been so zealously disseminated by
certain parties.
Broken and Doubtful Banks.
Walter Joy's Bank, at Buffalo, New York,
has failed. The Pavrtucket Bank, Rhode h
. land, it is said has also closed. The Union
Bank, Dover, as well as other New Jersey
Banks, seem to be in bad odor
The best plan for all to pursue, who have not
immediate use for their money, is to refuse ali
small notes issued by banks of other States.
Counterfeit ,$lO notes on the LANCASTER
BANK are in circulation. They are dated Jan
uarj Ist or 2J (could not distinguish which)
j 1844, letter B, signed Chrit. Tackmar, Cash
ier, James Evans, President. Vignette, a
naked female sitting with a staff in her right
i hand, her face turned left, no spots visible on
the eye, a spread eagle on her left side, (the
right of the vignette,) resting on a shield ; a
ship, all sails set. on her right, badly engraved ;
the hull or bottom of the ship looks like a
floating saw log, square at both ends. Double
medallion heads on the right end of the bills,
also badly executed. The other figures on the
I
j bill are said to be good. The bills are not de
scribed in any of the last Detectors.
TO THE LADIES.
CL. JONES respectfully informs the lu
• dies that he made a large purchase of
Cashmeres when last in the city, at greatly re
duced prices, and is now able to sell a genuine
article of Cashmere at the extremely low price
of 25 els. per yard, equal to nr.y to he had at
50 els. at other places. Call soon, as they are
selling like hot cakes.—Also, a splendid assort
ment of sack Flannels and many other new

CA ARDENERS and orchardists who desire
C to plant only the very best kinds of hardy
fruits, are respectfully informed that they can
| obtain trees here of all the most estimable va
rieties, including all those which have received
the especial sanction of the American Congress
of Fruit Growers. (N. Y., Oct. 1848.)
The TREES offered this season are of beau
tiful appearance, extra size, (except
: ing n few now rare sorts) and from
the elevated locality in which the
Nursery is established, have all the
essential advantages of hardiness and early
j maturity, for which trees grown at the north
! have been deservedly preferred.
The advantages possessed here are being
improved to the utmost, with the view of mak
ing this Nursery, in merit, sc-cond to none in
the State. Every tree is indelibly marked
and warranted correct. They will be deliv
ered in Lewistown or at intermediate places
at the low catalogue prices, and warranted
sound on delivery. If to be shipped, they will
be well packed for the purpose at a moderate
charge.
It is rfdvised that orders be sent direct to the
Nursery, in preference to purchasing illy as
sorted trees, from often irresponsible dealers,
at high prices. Sueh orders, if received in
time, have the first attention.
Season for fall planting, October 20.
A choice collection of the most admired or
namental plants, vines, evergreens, &c. has
been added to the Nursery Catalogues, sent to
all post paid applicants.

LEWISTOWN HULLS.
rnllE subscriber has taken the Lewistown
JL Mills,and wishes to buy a large quantity of
All Kinds of Krain,
for which he will pay the CASH, IN PAR
FUNDS, as high as the market will afford, accor
ding to its quality. Any person having good
Wheat will do well to call and show a sample
of it, as he thinks he can afford to give more
than any other person in the place, the mill
being situated on the creek, where flour can
lie loaded out of the mill into boats, and all ex
pense of hauling, storing, and shipping saved ;
besides, the flour is in better order, as the bar
rels are not injured by hauling and handling.
If wheat brings a better price than it will af
ford to grind, lie has the same chance of ship
ping it as any other, as the mill is the most
convenient storehouse in the place, and saves
a great deal of time and labor in hoisting by
water power. On, HE WILL RECEIVE ONSTOR
AOE, and forward to Philadelphia or Baltimore,
and give the following receipt:
" Received. Lewistown Mills, of A. ft.,
Wheat, to he kept in store till the first of Au
gust unless disposed of sooner."
When the receipt is given thequality of the
wheat will be mentioned in it, so as to prevent
any trouble when the owner comes to sell.
Any person storing, having four hundred bush- \
els and upwards, and desires it, it will be kept
in a garner by itself. Any person taking a re- ;
ceipt, and not selling before, or giving notice
to keep it, till after the first of August, it will
be carried out to their credit at the market
price on that day. If shipped, or sold to any
person that does not get it ground in the mill,
TWO cents per bushel storage will be charged. 1
i If they give notice, and keep it over after the
first of August, the storage will be ONE HALF
cent per month, afterwards. The grain will
be clear froui high water.
The subscriber will keep
Piaster, Fish, Salt and Groceries
of all kinds, which will be sold low for cash to j
Farmers, by Ihe quantity.
