Resolved, That we oppose the measure be cause it may probably interfere with improve ments which may hereafter be a pride to Penn- sylvanians Resolved, That our Senator, Luther Kidder, and our Representative John H. Brodhead. bV re&uestec; in case the above application be made to oppose the same and present our ob jections to the Legislature. Resolved, That we stand ready to co-oper- e Coxm?y In St T !

On Wednesday forenoon, the town became intensely excited in consequence df the report that the other city Banks had refused any lon ger to take the notes of the Girard Bank. The Northern Liberty Bank was the first to refuse. A large crowd soon collected within and around the doors of the Bank, great numbers of whom were anxious to get the notes exchanged. The Bank, from the first, refused to redeem any of its issues excepting the five dollar notes. For these, they gave the notes of other Banks. It is said with confidence that the great bulk of its circulation is in large bills, and that is truly to be rejoiced at as a far less amount will be in the hands of the poor than would otherwise have been the case. A meeting of the committeos from the sever al Banks was held during the afternoon. An other one assembled in the evening, the object of which was to see if any arrangements could be made by which the Girard should in some way secure the other Banks, so as to justify tnem in receiving hereafter the notes of that In auiuuuu. j. lie nieeunv conunueu in session until half past one o'clock in the morning, hav ing finally come to the . conclusion that no ar rangements could be effected to justify them in I . . . 1 . ir i n .i - i aahuiuiug lurincr nammes ot me uirard iiank And thus the Girard is entirely stopped.

The Directors of the Girard Bank having failed in their efforts to make a satisfactory ar- range lor me immediate redemption ol us is sues, find themselves under the painful neces- any oi closing me uanK lor tne present. The total liabilities of the Bank at this time, exclusive of its capital stock, amounts to $1,433,692 98 Consisting as follows : Of circulation known to be in the hands of other Banks, In the hands of the public, Of deposites, Of 'balances due to Banks and Bankers, $500,000 00 273,395 00 251,195 09 409,102 S9 $1,433,692 98 The total assesls of the Bank, at cost, exclusive of its own stock held by it, amount to $4,700,000 Under these circumstances, the Board of Di- Tl. uueny lllcl Tr l , , p! 1 c' ol their confident belief in the ability of the . .1 :. .l .1 . l- .uanK to aiscnarge an ns namuties in a reason able time, to promise theij best efforts to bring" about this result; and to caution the holders of its notes against parting with them at a sacri fice. By order of ihe Board of Directors', WM. D.LEWIS, Cashier. Jowanda Bank Exploded. The To wan da Democrat says that J. Boyd has been removed from the office of Cashier of the Bank in that place, and Mr. Van Ingen is now discharging the duties. That same paper has a loner edi- torial article, intimating strongly that dishones i a. u ty is at work, but throwing the responsibility upon other people. It adds, that the President and Directors are doing all in their power to relieve the Bank of its "present embarrass ments. But "if, as is by many suspected, a system ol speculation and swindling, this insti tution has become really insolvent and rotten at the core, the people ought not to be kept in the dark, and a due sense of propriety, under such circumstances, we trust will dictate to its officers and directors ihe immediate closing of Us doors, and an honest settlement of its af fairs." This is enough. If people will now receive Towanda money, they do it with their eyes open. Phil. Gaz. Attempt to XSoS) a Hank An attempt was made on Monday night last to enter the Mononghaela Bank of Brownsville, by displacing the bricks immediately over the side of one of the outer doors; but finding the operation rather difficult of accomplishment, the rogues gave it up as a bad j'ob. An incision had also been made with a chis el, or me other instrument,, in the western corner of the builing, facinV tha vault; but this, it would appear, was considered too formida ble an undertaking, and was abandoned almost as soon as begun. The building is occupied by one of the officers of the bank, and it is not very probable that the rogues could have gained ingress to the vaults without giving the alarm, as the walls are several feet thick at that point.
