DESTRUCTIVE FIRE !---The Carlisle Foundry and Machine Shop burned down !—On Saturday night last, about midnight, a fire broke out in the small frame office of Messrs Gardner & Brown, on Main street, below Bed ford, and before our citizens were generally roused and able to reach the spot, it was so completely enveloped in flames that all efforts to save it were fruitless' , From the office the fire rapidly communicated to the upper stories of the extensive Machine shop of the same firm, itifinediately adjoining, and from thence to two dwelling houses on the east side of the Foundry, Imith of them owned by Mr. F. Gardner. . The firemen worked nobly with all the means at their command, but their resist ance was ineffectual and in the counse of. two hour's the destruction of the four buildin a s vTnlS — Cofnjile - fei A Iligh - Atin - d - - was - prevailing at the time which : rapidly spread .the finales., and unTortunately, too, owing to the uncoil) pieta state of the Water Works, the fire Mode most destructive progress before a -constant supply of water could be bad for the hose and engines. Had it not been for the supply or Canedoguinet water, however, the firemen would have found it impossible to prevent the conflagration front:covering the whole eastern section of the borotigh. The lois by the fire cannot be accurate'y es timated. It will probably not fall much short of $25,000, and the amount of insurance_ we regret to hear is only $5OOO on the Foundry and $l5OO on the dwelling house's. The in' saranee is divided between the two Cumber land County Companies. IdessrS. Gardner , Ilrown are, however, young, energetic and enterpiisitig nien,,find we doubt not will promptly set about thi'l'rebuilding of their es tablishment. Thjir establish - moot had but . re: cently been well Stocked with machinery of the best character, with n new steam engine, and their accumulation of patterns was very large. A number of turning lathes and other tools.were rescued from the fire without se• rious injury, but the greater portion of arti cles in the shop were destroyed. A number of hands will be thrown out of employment by the fire, and the public will be put to no little inconvenience for the want of such an. estab lishment for a time, but we hope the suspen• siert of business will be but of short duration. ft is due to the firemen to say that they work with great energy, and that their efforts pre vented a wider spread of the conflagration.— Very efficient service was also rendered by the timely appearance of two companies of the U. S. Infantry from the Barracks, under command of Lieuts. Curtis, Shopkerd, Ritchie, McConnell and Stnead. Their well-ordered services told with signal effect in every quar ter and merit high praise. BOROUGH OFFICERS.—The new Coun cil held their first meeting on Monday night last, and organized by electing It. C. Woodward. President of the Council.

Veto of the Charter of the Pottstown To the Senate and house of Representatives: GI.I . NTLEMEN herewith return to the Muse of Representatives, in which it origi flitted, bill No. 276, entitled "An Act author izing the incorporation of the Bank of Potts town," with my objections to the same Should the number Of the banks and the amount of banking capital in the. State be in creased? and if so, to what extent, and in what localities, are questions that deserve and should receive a careful and candid con sideration. If local _and personal interests are permitted to determine those question's, the answer will be found in the unusual and extraordinary'number of applications for bank charters now pending before the Legislature. But the number of applications is uo just criterion' by which ,to determine either the wishes or the wants of the community in this regard. Their number, and the pertinacity with which they • are' pressed, have startled and alarmed the public mind ; nor has the fiver-able action of tlie Legislature in grant ing these demands, seined to allay the ap prehensions and fears thus excited. . The policy - of - the -- past - few - years - may-have-been too severely and . unnecessarily restrictive ; yet thiS policy Should be preserved_rather than abanden the State and the' interests of her people, to the destructive influences of n wild an I reckless system - of banks and bank• ing. That some increase of banking capital in necessary in certain localities within this Commonwealth, will not be denied; that a irge increase is not demanded. either by public sentiment, or the public wealth, is a truth equally undeniable. In the creation of banks:sound and honest discrimination, as to number, locality, and the demands of trade should be' exercised, Their number should' be determined, more by the actual wants of legitimate trade, than an•l speculators.' The sudden and - :unnecessary expansion of the currency should be avoided) ; and whatever tends to produce such a result ought to be discountenanced, mid if possible; prevented. The history of banking, in our owit.and other States, is full of uselid lessons •11 this subject. Experience shoul4 tench us scission' ; add our present and 'ftituris,,actions, ia relation -to banks and -banking,,should be regulated"nntrcontrolled by her Wettings The advantages to be derived from an in creased number of banks, aro more fancied than real. It is an error to suppose that an increase of banking- capital adds to the actual capital Cif- , the State or nation.— Banking capital, is but the aggregation' of In dividual capital, previously existing, rendered more efficient, perhaps, but not more useful by such aggregation, and the special privileges conferred by the not of incorporation. Circulation is not onpital, nor does -it in crease or represent capital As the repre sentative of credit, based upon the ability of the bank to redeem its promises, It becomes, when properly limited, a useful auxiliary to trade and commerce—when unlimited - and excessive, it not only ceases to be useful, but becomes dangerous and destructive to the financial and industrial interests of the peo pie. Without an increase of banks, and the facilities they afford, the commercial and in destrial interests of the country would suffer ho serious reverse. Inconienience might be experienced, and the sio,Apid, and for that reason, the moreslatf,g - er s progress of busi• ness arrested. Bfitsthis is preferable to the concomitant evils of an inflated currency; overtrading, rash speculation, and a deprecia• tell currency, always terminating in bank ruptcy and ruin. That such would be the result, it the numerous banks now before the Legislature should be chartered, eannoe bo seriously doubted. Pencil-al and private in• terests may magnify the importance and no• ,eessity of incorporating these , banks, but no eonsiderations of , public policy or interest could justify their creation. Such financial policy, would he nothing less than financial madness and folly. In population, wealth, trade and commerce, our progress during the past ten years has been rapid and unprecedented Our mining, manufacturing and industrial interests have been largely and Perrannently developed, and are now in progress of titore ample develop ment; and vet during this period, the addi tions to our banking capital have been almost nominal, bearing no appreciable proposition to the immense increase,of the great interests already enumerated. These facts demonstrate and establish the truth, that although bank ing facilities' may and do aid the burliness of a country, their increase is not indispensa bly necessary to its progress and rapid develo: went, But greater facilities might, secure greater results, and therefore it is freely Admitted, that, although such facilities are not absolutely necessary, yet they are important, and as aids to legitimate business, under proper limita tions anti restictions, should ho atfor4etl. A muderiiio and reasonable increase of blinking capital, juliciously distributed might be useful to the increased and increasing trade and commerce of the State but under no circum stances can an extravagant and unnecessary increase be justified or defended. .Local and personal considerations may secure the pas. sage of numerous acts incorporating banks, not denmded by the business wants of the community, but such legislation cannot be sanctioned by public policy or sustained by 'the financial and commercial embarrassment front which the c >wary is new 'slowly recover VETO MESSAGE. Bank. 41. , _ tag, requires cautious and prudent legislation, and - demands •that the actual and real wants of business'should be regarded, and the true interests of the people consulted. A sudden and excessive inflation of the currency by the creation of ,numerous . banks, might mitigate and temporarily remove the evils we now suffer, but in the end, would ,reproduce and aggravate them. The remedy is more to be dreaded than the disease, and its consequences often-times more fatal and destructive, Bank accommodations are, and ever ,must be, an insecure and unreliable basis of legiti mate business. When every thing is prosper ous and money abundant, accommodations are feeely„proffered and loans easily secured. In a monetary crisis; and in the hour of greatest need, the borrower finds his accommodations withheld—his paper rejected and his creditor, the bank, demanding payment of his liabilities:- The banks in self - - -- delence, in seasons of pres- Sure, are compelled thus to act, to prevent suspension and their own ruin. In this strug gle for life, the debtor must first fall, public and private interests suffer, and a general de rangemno of business, and the currency im mediately'railows. As a remedy for "hard times" and as regu lators of the currency batiks have signally -failed:-A well regulated system-of-revenne-by the National Government, protecting national industry, and 'encouraging the enterprise . of the -American people, restraining the enor mous and now, ominously largo importations .of foreign products and airelmislize, securing the country against this exhausting drain of the - precious metals, gold and silver, to p ly for products manufactured . abroad which-we should and could make cheaper at home. Such It system is abetter regulation of the currency, and a more isertiiin remedy for financial distress and commercial evils, than all the haulm of this- and other States, that are now, or may he established by legislative enactment. These principles re claire no elaboration. Their truth is gene -ratly-admitted. -Their application to particu • far cases presents a question of more difficult determination. Discriminations .may be odi ous, but in view of the action of the Legjsla ! titre. on the 'subject of the incorporation of new banks, they become important end neees- Baty. Insthe discharge of my official duties in the premises, I noisy err, in judgment, but will shrink from no responsibility. Having, on the day of my induction into office, declared that' s•rwould not. refuse to sanction the incorporation of new banks, when indispensably necessary. and clearly de manded by the actual business wants and in terests of the community in which they may be located," the question now presents itself, is the bank proposed to be established by this bill, necessary and clearly demanded by the actual business wants - and interests of that community? In determining this question, the locality itself—its existing banking facil ities—its proximity to other banks, and to the great marts of trade—the means of communi cation—the amount, value and character of its trade and business, and other attendant circumstances should be considered. From a careful examination of all these, and with proper reference to private and public inter ests, I cannot discover the necessity that re-' quires, or the wants or interests, of the com munity that clearly demand the creation of this bank. Feelings of regard for those who "desire the passage of this bill would prompt its approval. Considerations of publie interest, and the stern demands of official duty require me to withhold my signature. JAMES. POLLOCK.
