Specie in the IVew York Kanks.
An informal count of specie was made
in the Banks of New York city, on Thurs
day last, and the aggregate foots up less
by a million and a half dollars than the
showing indicated by the receipts of gold
from California, since the last official
statement.

Vcmcml Election. j
The election in Vermont for Governor,
Legislature, and Members of Congress,
took place on Tuesday, the 7th inst.
The returns are of the most gratifying
. . , , .
character. The latest despatch gives
Fairbanks, Whig, for Governor, 1500
majority over the Democratic and Pree
Soil candidates combined, being a gain o
ver last year. The Legislature is Whig
by increased majorities. Two of the con
gressional districts elect Whigs. In the
third thdre is no election. The Whig
candidate leads the highest of his oppo
nents, several hundred votes, but has not Plan l0 ooaramg. Une ol tlic boarders

Great Mass Meeting in Columbus. A
tremendous outpouring of the friends of A writer in the New York Tribune es-
Scott and Graham, took place at Colum- timates that tea could be produced in the

J8It is stated on reliable authority
that upwards of two hundred persons in
the immediate vicinity of Cincinnati have
professed religion and been added to the

Burning of the Stcanboat Reindeer.
The Steamboat Beindeer which burst her
boiler some few days since near Sauger
ties, on the North river, was burned on
Friday last, whilst lying at that place
waiting fox repairs. The origin of the
lire is not known but it is supposed to be
the work of an incendiary. She was
burned to the water's edge, nothing being
saved. She was valued at $100,000, and
insured in New York for $55,000.
Carious Ear of Corn. Mr.David Deish
ner, of .Hamburg, Berks county, brought
to the Schnellpost, an ear of corn, which
is a great wonder. It consists of one
principal surrounded by five smaller ears,
the grains of which are all perfect, aud
i
each ear completely .developed.
Woman's Rights Convention. A Con

in the Bubject of women's rights, assem

persons were in attendance. The Con

such honest straight forward talking.

determination because he knew the man.
He had followed him from Vera. Cruz to
the National Palace of Mexico, and had
fully observed him in all his actions, and
carefullv studied his noble character. It
has been mentioned, said Mr. Walker to
injure General Scott, that the officers of
the army were not anxious for his elec
tion. Let that be as it may, the men, the
plain and humble soldiers, like himself are
'for him. They will not see him abused
without defending him. They know how
to appreciate his true gallantry, his pa
triotism, his humanity, and his open-hearted
kindness to them in time of need.
Mr. Walker here gave a very interesting
account of his experience iu the great
Mexican campaign, and spoke in high !
terms of his associates in the voltiguer !
regiment. ;
"Among the incidents related were'
the following : W hen the great works of
the enemy had been carried at Chapulte

ment of victory, and was received with
tremendous shouts. He raised his arms,
and exclaimed to us

The National Intelligencer, of last week
contains the important announcement that
the accounts of the last fiscal year are
made up and that the expenditure had
, been reduced to 45.950,000- and of this
sum S 1,867,639 was for redemption ot
' the public debt. The amount of expen
diture lastycar was $48,005,000, of which
only 8521,265 was for redemption of pub

of debt extinguished j and if the laws un

of it, that sum could be immediately ap

ures forced upon the country by him
and his adherents. The deduction of
these extraordinary charges reduces the
current unavoidable expenses of the Gov
ernment, for which this administration is
responsible, to 828,343,965. This is a
bout what they would havo been had tho
Government been in Whig hands since
1844, and what they will be, at the pres
ent rate of roduction, if Gen. Scqtt be
elected. Tho choice between Gen Scott
and Gen. Pierce therefore would seem to
be between a taxation oiticentij-eight and
one of forty-eight millions a year.
(gj-The Stomach prepares the elements of
the bile' and the blood; and if it does the work
feebly nntl imperfectly, liver disease is the
certain result. As soon, therefore, as any af
fection of the liver is perceived, we may be
sure that the digestive organs are out of or-
der. The first thing to be done, is to admin-
ister a specific which will act directly upon
the stomach the mainspring of the animal
machinery. For'this purpose we can recom-

as an alterative and tonic, it strengthens the
digestion, changes the condition of the blood
and thereby gives regularity to the bowl.
