A Scissorlm Editor. Tha editor of the Miltoninn says that some grace Ins aramp entered his office and atole hia scissors. Thia ia a sad dilemma for an editor to lie placed in. An editor unscUsortd ia something like a dragoon unhorsed. He can make but little headway against the ranks ol his opponent. Without thin foiuiida ble little weapon, what would become of the cutting atire and biting earcaam of hia columns. Let the editor of the Miltonian, however, console himself with this reflection, that no one can hereafter justly accuse him of having introduced into his columna shear nonsense. CXJ" The friends of the defunct Dank Bill are not without hope. The President's objection, are chief ly confined to the unconstitutionality of a Dank of discount and deposit e with branches. He atatca unequivocally, that as long aa the 13ank of the U. .States conGned itself to discounts and depositee, the country was not benefitted by its operations, but that when it engaged extensively in exchange, the currency of the country became sound, and "the no'.es of the Bank were regarded as equal to specie all over the country." The President is evidently inclined to favor an Exchange Bank, and we have no doubt from the appearance of things, that auch i Bank will be established, and receive the executive sanction. Such a Bank would be much less objec tionable, and in our opinion decidedly preferable. An efTort will be made immediately to establish such Bank, as will I seen by the following paragraph from the TJ. S. Gazette: "A friend, Who is intimate with the most dis tinguished mrml-ris of Congress df 'both parties, writes to us as follows: 'I am perfectly satisfied that Congress will not rise without passing a law crenting an Exchange Bunk, and that the President will sign it. I would ad vine you, as a friend and a whig editor, to treat the veto leniently, it being merely a difference of opinion amongst brethren of the same principles." An Kxcellent Suggestion. Mr. Liroao, of the Baltimore Commercial Jour nal, suggests in his paper of Saturday last, the e stnblishment of a national depot for coal at Baltr more, and urges the extension of the Tide Water Canal from Havre de-Grace to that city, in order to afford the utmost possible facilitica for the transpor tation of the Pennsylvania cnal to the aforesaid dc pot. There ia much of practical wisdom and fore sight in the project. Baltimore, aa Mr. I,, remarks, is situated at the head of one of the best estuaries in the United States; is accessible at all seasons; is but a short distance from the ocean t has a moder ate tide ! haa a safe and open bay without shoals 01 rocks 5 and is near the national seal of government, with which it ia connected by an excellent rail road. It is therefore, saya Mr. I.., "the very place" for a national establishment of the kind proposed, as it is a point well protected from the enemy, and will he easily reached by the war steamers of the Home Squadron, as well aa all other vessels propelled by steam, and consequently using coal aa fuel. To Pennsylvania the proposition ia very important, as the coal must come from the mines of our State, which find their outlet to market through the Tide Water Canal. Pa, Intel.

The New York Journal of Commerce has been furnished by a genl'em.in familiar w ith the aubjeel, with the following estimate of the Production and Consumption of Coffee for 1811.' PRODUCTION. Tons. Prohibition of Shin-Plaster t Onu F. Jormsow, Esq., the fearless and faith ful Attorney General of the Commonwealth, in compliance with previous instruction from the Governor, haa re-issued strict and positive instruc tion, under date of the lOlb inst , to all his Depu ties throughout the State, to proceed according to law against '.bore indiviuuals and corporations, who continue, in violation of an express law, to issue small notes aa a currency. This is perfectly right, and aflords a gratifying evidence, that under the present State Administration, these violators of the law can expect no shadow of support or counten ance, however largely they may have been indulged under the administration of Joseph Kitr.er, John Banks and Co. The following ia an extract fiom Mr. Johnson's admirable circular: "Not even the ahadow of reason can be alleged to exist now, (whatever might once have been pretended) to ex ruse the violation of these aalutary laws. Ample provision haa been made by the General assembly of thia Commonwealth, for any supposed necessity, that may have arisen requiring the issue of notes of a less denomination than five dollars, and the re is therefore no ground to apprehend the slightest inconvenience, from a speedy and thorough aup prssion of these small notes which have been put into circulation contrary to law. If we expect to retain, for the purpose of business the specie now in tho hands of the peop'e, even for transac tions of a less amount than one dollar, wo must rig idly and rigorously persevere in the enforcen.ent of the penalties against those who manufacture and circulate a depreciated worthless substitute. Small notes of the several denominations of twelve and a ball', twenty five and fifty cents, are rapidly insinu ating themselves into the place of specie in those counties where they have been unfortunately intio duced, and unless checked, will soon expel it en tirely, frcm general circulation. However contra ry to law, and depreciated in nominal value they may be, it is exceedingly difficult to rid the public of them, when once they have acquired a foothold. It ia the part therefore of wisdom and of duty, to atrike at those who issue and circulate them, at once and in earnest." Yeoman. Small Note. Gov. rotter has instructed the Attornney Gene ral, Mr. Johnson, to commence prosecutions again-t all corporations not authorised to issue small notes, after the 10th of September. All persona or cor porations known aa engaged in the issue or intro duction of the small nites of other States, will also recti) sjiecial attention from the Attorney Geneial or his Deputies.

Captain Merriman, of the barque Iria, at this port, from Matanxae, gives information that Mr. Crofa. the American Consul at this port, had been incarcerated in prison by order of the Governor of Cuba. The cause ia nol stated, but whatever it may he, it is a bold move, and one which cannot be passed by our Government without notice. We are informed by a gentleman, long a resident at Matanxas, that Mr.O. was remarkable for his mild and amiable disposition, and moat unlikely to give clTences to the authorities of the island. A former consul at thst port (the late Mr. Shoemaker,) also met with some indignity in the early part of Gen eral Jackson's administration, which waa promptly taken in band by him. and brought belote the no tie of the Spanish Government through ita Minia te! at Washington, and resulted in a proper sails faction rendered in the case.

BANK BILL VETO. During the discussion at 12 o'clock) the Private Secretary of the President appeared st the Bar of the House with the Fiscal Bank Bill in one hand, and the Message of the President in the other. The appearance of the Secretary excited some in terest, and a breathless silence follpwed. The message was placed in the hands of the Pre sident of the Senate, and the Land bill laid upon the table, when a new order of thing unexpectedly au reeded. There was a disposition on the part of some one or more of the audience to give demonstrations of approbation or diaappiobalion at the course of the President, when Mr. BENTON rose with feelings of immense excitement, and cried aloud that he had come to the Senate thia morning expecting that tho President ol the United Statea would be insulted by Bank Ruffians. I knew he would, said Mr. Benton. I felt it. I told my friends so. It has come just aa I expected juat aa I predicted. Mr B. concluded with a motion to arrest the offender. Mr. PRESTON joined with Mr. Benton in a call for a rediess of the insult. He did not hear the hisses, but supposed they had been heard by others. Mr. RIVES asked the Senator from Mo. to with draw his motion. Ho waa sure that he had heard no hisses, and many Senators around him had heard none. He begged therefore that if they had been heard, the Senate would be content with the 70.000 CXpressjon 0f opinion on the part of the Senate i","0U I which had been given. If there had been hisses, So. 000 ; ti)cr1 nnj Def demonstrations of approval also. 15,000 Mr- ,aid he had heard both the applause 6,000 i Bnj (l0 tokens of disapprobation.

I came here to-day expecting to see an Ame rican President insulted by the Bank ruffians in the gallery. These Bank ruffians had been sent here, Mr. B. aaid, for thia purpose, and no Bank ques 50,000 jon haj ,een introduced without some such insult 40,000 continued Mr. B., and here, or el-ewhere, I will 40,001) throttle the monster fgieat laughter) until he is 15,000 I uncled. 45.000 Mr. BUCHANAN rose with great apparent so- 5,000 ! leinnity "This is a very solemn and momentous occasion," he said, "I did distinctly hear a hiss, but at the same time I am bound to say it was neither long nor loud. I hope the Senator will withdraw his motion, and that the Senate will proceeJ to the business of the day." Mr. BENTON I never will, ao help me God. (Immense laughtei.) Mr. BUCHANAN I had rather the Senator would withdraw, and then the important business oft he day could be considered. Mr. MERRICK said it is true, a said by the Senator fioui Pennsylvania, that this is a solemn occasion a very solemn occasion and therefore it was that he was averse to spending the time ef tho Senate in a matter so trifling.
