We arc gratified in being able to announce thai the Banlfof Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia, commenced the payment of goid and silver for its notes, and ako resumed its regular business, on Monday last. For many years ihis institu tion was looked upon as one of tho besi and safest in ihe country, and enjoyed ihe utmost confidence of the community. Its resuscita tion therefore will be "hailed with joy by every one. The difficulties under which it has been laboring, were brought upon it mainly in con sequence of the efforts it made to sustain ihe Tlie Elections. The annual olection in Connecticut, fur State MarrriBig a Wife's Sister. The question "dqes the word of .God forbid Officers, took place on Monday the 3d inst. and ' a man to marry his deceased" wife's bister?" resulted in the choice of a majority of Locos to the Legislature. For Governor and Lieutenant Governor, the loco foco candidates also ran ahead, hut-not having a majority of all the votes cast, there is no choice for those offices by the people. The Legislature must therefore fill them. There were also four Congressmen elected, all of whom are locos. The abolition ists ran a separate- ticket, and the Tylermen joined in with the locos. t In Rhode Island, the election took place on Wednesday the 5th inst. It was the fir&t one under the. new Constitution, and' both parties exerted themselves to the utmost to carry the day. The 'result was a triumphant Whig vic tory. Thpy elected their Governor by over 1700. majority, and secured more than three fourths of both branches of the Legislature. This is truly gratifying, and gives the deaths blow to the hopes of Dorr, and his deluded fol lowers. Peace, order, and tranquility are once morn-restored to "little Rhoda."

These two Banks were heretofore considered among largely loco foco. The charges of fraud, at the polls, are wholesale; and a thorough investiga tion is spoken of. Whilst the Whig vote i:. about the same zs heretofore, the loco foco vote was discussed last week at the regular meeting of the Classis of New Brunswick, it having been n.ferred by the General Synod of the Dutch Church to several Classis for their opin ion. " In the opinion of the Classis of N. Bruns wick, "the word of God does nol prohibit the marriage of a deceased wife's sister, and the canon oFthe Dutch Church assuming the con trary out to be repealed." This is a decision of great importance, as ihe subject has given rise to much contention, and repeated conflicts of sentiment and practice. Wonderful SigSats Secii. A Cincinnati paper contains a wonderful ac count of a phenomenon which was observed in the heavens on iheevening of ihe 31st ult. by the pilot and captain of ihe steamboat William Penn. As he was steering the boat, he was aroused by ihe sudden appearance or a light which illuminated, ihe whole heavens, and which so blinded him that he could see nothing. Not withstanding this visual obluscation, he dis tinctly saw the "outlines of a serpent in ihe sky," which cut all sorts of pranks in the hea vensaud twisted its tail about in manner ago nizing lo behold. It is difficult to say which is the most wonderful, the tail of the snake or the talc of the pilot. A. Singular Story.

On the 29ih ult., in the Louisiana House of Representatives,- that body finally disposed of the report and resolutions touching the return of the money paid by General Jackson, as a fine for contempt of Court.
