From the Philadelphia Presi. . THE BANK OF PENNSYLVANIA- Until s late period no moneyed institution Within the borders of our Common weak h more fully possessed the confidence of our citizens than the Bank of Pennsylvania. It was an old established and a favorite bank. It maintained a high reputation for a long aeries of years, and had passed successfully and triumphantly, through all the great mon etary convulsiona of the last half century. It had been the financial agent of the Com monwealth in many of its moneyed transac tions. It had at one period branches estab lished In a number of tho towns of the S'ate. Its capital stock (<1,875,000) was, until re canity, greater than that of any other bank in Pennsylvania, and but one bank now (the Farmers' and Mechanics' of Philadelphia) I has a greater capital. These circumstances, ! and its popular name, had given it suoli a prestige, that generation after generation had grown up in the belief that it was one of the safest and best banks in the Urion- Men distinguished for their sagacity considered its stock the most reliable investment they could make, anj we hear every day of peo ple of the moat prudent and cautious charac ter who had a Urge proportion of their means in if, and who will lose nearly their all by it* failure. Until within (lie last lew years it always had the reputation, and no doubt, deserved it, of being honestly and prudently managed, and iis stock readily sold at a high premium. Wiihin the last month, however, its notes havo been at a discount ol fmm ten to forty per cent. Its depositors liuvo been uneasy about the safety of thoir depositee, and its slock ban been selling lately at $lO pe{ share. Those who have been industri ously investigating its affairs find its condi tion indeed deplorable. There seems no ma •on lo doubt, however, thai its circulation will all be fully redeemed, that its depositors tiuiy receive fho amounts duo thnni, but whether tlio stockholders will receive any- : thing or if they do, how much, ore manors of conjeciuro. It seems certain that nearly i the entire capital slocks lias been Inst. Whatever my bo saved from (ho wreck will ' be only a small portion of tlio whole.

Those who basked in the sunshine ot Ins favor wvre confident ct ob taining such accommodation* as they desired —■those who did not, soon learned that thetr chances ol" obtaining discounts were slight indeed, The bank had gradually been de clining in the t'avcr of the business men el this city for several years past, and the sus picion in general that ts means were use. fa,her to advance the ambitious projects, am' to further the speculative designs, and to ac commodate the friends of Mr. Allibone. than to render any service to general bum ties* interests, or to benefit its s'ockholders Mr. A. lived in magnificent style— gavt sumptuous entertainment*, and was libera to a laud with those whose power he drea Jed or whose influence he eenrte- 1 Wher the pceatonitery symptoms of the la o crast first appeared, the crippled con.i. ion of the Bank ol Peonsylraaia rendered it neeessart for him to appeal to the othet banks of h< City for aid.

There were loud clamors for his re signation, but he did not lined ihem until the last moment. The true condition of the af fairs of the bank remained unknown. The key of the safo in which its principal papers and accounts were kept remained in his own possession, and was only handed over on l he eve of wliut cannot well be regarded now as else - but lliglit from the infamy which was sure to follow from the exposure of the condition of the bank which had been ruined by hia management.

By his management of the bank und his precipitation of suspension, ho has done moro mischief in connection with Iho lata fi nancial (roubles, than any other American bank officer, and it is but natural that exe crations should be heaped upon him by the many victims of iho bunk failures, and a largo portion of the community.

Once again the Black Republican presses aro endeavoring to raise a breeze about Kan sas. Not long since they went crazy over the Topcka Constitution, and now ihey are trying it on again over that lately formed at Lecompton. No fair minded man over de fended tho authority which formed Topcka Document; but as it was good enough a Morgan till altor tho election, it was seized upon us a perfect God-send by Iho Republi can presses and orators. Wo have already, upon moro than one occasion charged upon that party, lite accusation that they were endoavoring to make Kansas a slave State, and wo aro still of that opinion. A convention, elected und called by au thority of law lately assembled at Lecomp ton in tho Territory of Kansas, and adopted a constitution for that embryo State ; which is to bo submitted lo tho voters on the 21st day of this mouth, Decetnbor, and to vole directly whether or not slavery is to bo an institution of tlio futuro State. If tho major-1 ity of tho vote should bo for tho Constitution with slavery then it will bo a slave .State; if for the constitution without slavery, then, a free State. Tho following is tho preamble and regulation upon which the vote is lo bo taken. "Hoforo tlio consiituiion is sent to congress tho president of this convention, or in his absence, by reason of hisdouth, resignation, or otherwise, tho President pro tan. shall by proclamation declare that M tho 21st day of December, 18.57, at tho different election precincts now established by law, in the ter ritory of Kansas, an election shall he held, over which shall preside three judges, to bo ap pointed by the president of this convention, or in his absence, by reason of death, resig nation or otherwise, the president p>o ton , at which election the constitution framed by this convention shall be submitted to all the male citizens of tlio territory of Kansas over tho ago of tweniy-ono years, for r.ilili catiou or rejection, in the following manner and form :—Tho voting shall be by ballot. The judges of said election shall cause tolie kept two poll books by clerks, by them ap pointed ; the ballots cast at said election shall be endorsed, 'constitution with slave ry,' or 'constitution without slavery." "Ono of said poll books shall be deposi ted with the president of this convention, or in his absence, by reason of his death, re signation, or othorw isc, the presidentpro fern., and the other to bo retained by the judges of election, and kept open for inspection. The president of the convention, or in his absence, by reason of his death, resignation, or otherwise the president pro ton , with two or more members of this convention, shall examine said poll books, anil if it shall miOU Mill • itv of the votes cast at said election be in fa vor of the constitution with slavery.' he shall immediately have transmitted the con stitution so ratified to tho congressof tho Tai led States for admission into tho Union as a sovereign state under said constitution, but if. upon such examination of said poll books. ,t shall appear that a majority of the votes cast at said election bo in favor of the ■eons; .tin ton without slavery.'then the article providing for slavery shall be stricken from this constitution by tho president of this convention, or in his absence, by reason of death resignation, or otherwise, by the pres ident pro ion . and "except thai the right of property in slaves now in this territory shall iti no manner he interfered with," and he shall immediately have transmitted the con stitution so rati tied to the congress of the United Siatcs for admission into the Union as a sovereign state rivulet the said constitu tion." It might be thought that such a fair ar.d distinct enunciation would be sufficient for honest men and fair parti.-.tns ; but the New \ crk Trtbxm and papers ot that ilk denounce the action of the convention, and counsel their fncnds to refuse concurrence, an.', with held their votes of the Slst l trust that the good sense of the mass esinrhat Terriiorvw-.il . cleat the treason of thc.r leaders, that a full and free express ion of the popular will may be had. ar.d that by the Co'gross about to assemble Kansas may be admitted into the Union, a free, severe iga, and independent btate 1-ACXAWAKSV ASH F.o.

In the os sault of the 14th, sixty-one officers and elev en hundred and seventy-eight men, being one-third of the storming party, were killed and woundod, General Nicholson died of his wounds on the 21st. The old king said he was ninety years of age when he surrendered to Capt Hodgson, about filleen miles South of Delhi. He was accompanied by his chiel wife. Their lives iwere spared. Two of his sons and a grand 'son were also captured by Capt. Hodgson, about live miles from Delhi, and were shot on the spot. Two moveable columns were despatched from Delhi, on the 23d, in pursuit of the enemy. By accounts from Agra one column appears to have reached the neigh borhood of Alyghar and the other that ol Muttra, on tho 28th of September. Gon.
