This pro eding cabsed a run upon sev eral other Banks, ut they met all the. demands made upon them— and on Tuesday the excite ment among the hoteholders was considerably abated, by the promulgation of the measures adopt ed at a meeting, of the officers of the difrerczt Banking Institutiohs, for their mutualyrotection, which are as follAs: 1. The Milks to Issue their own notes exelu. wisely of the denor 'Mallon of 2:0 and upward-. 2. -The Banks t. make daily exchanges with each other. 3.

As far as the •linets' Bank is concerned, we are assured that er paper is net refused is any of. the city Ban and the nn'y dificculty she has experienced, n these exciting times, is the great demand ma e oh her to exchange the notes of other Banks fo her own issues.

Mr. Underwood, of Kentucky, then obtained the -floor, and in a very. able speech, .condemned the whole proceedings, and rather defended {fir.

Mr. Bette concurred in the remarks of Mr. Underwood, and also defend ed Mr. Adams.

Samuel z 4 illyman in the Chair; in the absence of Dr. Steinberger, Edw. Y. Farquhar was ap pointed Secretary. 'l'ne Committee appointed at the ',firmer • meeting made the following report, which was unanimously adopted: Wit en eAs, In consequence of the abandon ment of-the American System, every branch of business and .of productive industry, throughout the Union, is suffering the severest enabaraas. ments. And whereas, Pennsylvania, abovt all her sister states, is most deeply interested in this subject, from the extent and production of her mines of Coal and Iron the immense amount of capital invested in mining, and in the manufac ture of Iron—the Treat number of her citizens_ em plo)edin these branches of domestic production, and the important aid they afford to her revenue. And whereas, she has incurred a debt of nearly forty millions in the construction of her „internal improvemezts, for the profits on which she must mainly rely upon the transportation of Coal and Iron. Therefore, Rev)!red, That we view with the utmost alarm the bare probability of the final reduction of the Tariff to the point contemplated by the act of 1831. • &salted, That the only hope the, - State- of Pennsylvania can have, to rest,.re herself and peo ple to, their wonted prosperity, is a return of 'the Government to that policy, which discriminates m favor of her domestic industry. Rendced, That the recent improvements in the app!ication of American coals to the manufacture of the raw iron--and the successful application of that fuel to all the processes of refining, heat• ing, warrants the belief, that, with adequate protection, the whole demand of tht country eout..l soon be supplied 'by our own peo ple, at lower rates titan front other quarters of the world. And whereas, the-effect of protection is to en courage American capitalists to embark in man ufactures, and by competition, reduce the price of lying profits—thus keeping the market regular, and free from the fluctuations of Europe;, and, as experience proses, soon reduce the cost to the consumer below that of the imported article— furnish profitable employment to our citizens, ani, create a conetant Fiume ma, ket for our agricultu ral products, which are excluded from European consumption. It would prevent the drain of our precious metals to pay for manufactures which ought to be made at home. And whereas, the wealth of a nation, is the aggregate of the wealth of the individuals composing that nation ; the greater the productive industry of the people, the greater will be the national wealth. Therefore, the interest of 'each dais is inseparable con nected with all the alms. Resolved, That the capitalist, the manufactu rer, the consumer, the mechanic, the faborer, the farmer, and the nation, all, demand that our do mestic industry be protected against the wealthy maaufaotauring 4.4.14:.i/mgrac-ss. or nurope ; whim would break down our manufactories to secure a moner. , ly of our markets to themselves, and re duce us to our former colonial dependance. Re,dved, That the cost of producing an article in this country, as a goner d rule, is the price the importer charges the American consumer—and as the cost of tiome production is d miaislted by protection, so will the cost of the same article, when imported, be reduced, as soon as the home manufactory is established—witness out nails, shoes, boots, hats, &c. Resolve . ", That Ise deem it utterly impossible, by any 44rse of National, or State Legislation. to restore lhe. currency of our country, and ena ble our mlnctery institutions to resume and main tain specih payments, until the balance of trade is changed in favor of the United States, by the imposition of discriminating duties in favor of home production--till we crop!oy American hands kid° our work, and not those Of Europe, which will only be paid by our gold and silver, and not Our breads•uffs• ReAo/Frd, That the manufacturers and mer chants Of Great Britain manifest their sagacity upon all occas'ons when a revolution of business overtakes them; throwing the r surplus commodi ties into our ports. In this operation they gain severale advantages —lst, they relieve their own market-2d, all they realize from these sales is clear gain -3d, they break down their competi tors in 'this country, to secure to themselves the American market. The present prices of Iron in England, and the low dotes of this country, are peculiaily favorable to this operation, so well un derstoco by all commercial men. Resolved, That this meeting, can not refrain froma4erting to the Lind regard the British Go vernmOiit,And her dealers, manifest towards this countri4,by furnishing u. 4 gratis vt ith loads of publicaOns and documents, upon the sutject of Free 714'ider; whilst she imposes prohibitory du ties upon:ail articles she can raise within her-own ilmninions,- and to . which she is making great ex ertions to add re'aiTi from her Ea. , .1 India pas- sessiu4—nor tinists we omit our acknowledge) raents to the A tnes47 a Chamber of Commerce,at , riool, for' graptously supplying us .ith a rep, entitled ~ 4 Report of a late Committee rep, entitled ---.' of th -- British Howse of Commons, concerning 'Prate tire duties; of peculiar interest at this time, o thetlithens of the United States ! !" tesareet, That the argument against a Protec t tive -stem used by "Fret Trade - advocates, that the su firing of the manufacturing population of England i caused by her manufactures, is whol- • ly fallaciou inasmuch as that distress is not' confined to th districts, but miracles the ela tion. , t is caul dby the policy of her landed , Aristo cy, whicOteeps up the price of bread i by a 6 , adualcd scale 't impost in foreign guilt, (.ra until i,,, reaches the ma : of slasvalian, below which tier Tariff excludes i to the unrepresented “operative."

Who so visits Mr. 'foamed's room, let him not expect a flattered portrait. Truth is ho Hatt, rer, and the i umutuble laws of nature can not bo swerved to gratify the vanity of looks. The cunning hand of the human a , tist may slur over the blamish that disfigures the face it is pour traying, and may draw out Helen's beauty from a brow of Egypt, hut the Daguerreotype knows no such art. It presents tile face as it finds it, and gives a likeness of it, minutely, seveiely ac curate in shade, outline and expression. Mr. H's. spparatus is greatly improved, in comparison with that by which the first impres sions were taken in thiscounity. It is nut, as lie operates, necessary to sit in a highly concentrated glare of light—in fact, the person sitting may be wholly out of the resell of the $llll . B rays. This is a very great improvement. 'I he strong light, that was formerly employed, usu .lly cans, d a con traction of the eyes and brows, and a consequent distortion of the upper part of the face. The time occupied in the whole process, may be about six minutes, of which not More than two and a half are consumed in sitting. The very moderate price at which a miniature may be obtained, but more than all, the exceeding urbanity and politeness with which Mr. H. r - ceives his visitors, we feel confident will ensure to him art exteneire patrons-2e. 600.315 20,000 46 0 345 The following is the description of the prison supposed to have committed the recent murder near Reading . :—. , Ho is roller under the middli• size, Borneo hat stout, long face, dark oyes, speolc; slow—downcast looks, active, wore a blue tight.
