The Boston Jeolormal say, the community will be taken
somewhat by surprise to learn that the Rev L S. Kollar+
has accepted a call - from the Tremont Temple Baptist
Church, and-wilt eater upon his pastoral duties on the first
Sabbath in September. A meeting of the church was held
fur the purpose of taking some action with reference to a
pastor. The members were requested to express their
preferences by ballot. Eighty-three votes were thrown
and Mr. Kalloch had seventy six of the number. Ile was
immediately informed of the result, made his appearance
at time meeting, and accepted the call as abore stated. A

--Owing to the arrival of the large NU portationa for the
fall trade, there is a large increase of revenue at New York
, tnd Boston, and probably also at other leading ports.—
_ The receipts at New York are now estimated at twelve
hundred thousand dollars a week. Supposing New York
to furnish two.thirds of the revenue, the present rate of
receipu would give about $82,000,000 per annum, and tlis
pease with the necessity of the loan authorised by Con
cress. Lut the present large increase in importations is
probably temporary, and will extend ouly through the
months of August and September. Still, lot .1117053 is clear
ly destined to receive a new impulse this fall, after its late
, taprosaion, and trade is not likely to relapse into the con
dition from which it Is now recovering.

When the child told her mother what he had said, she paid
no attention to it, as he was in the habit of plaguing her

It is a fact, we believe, clearly proved by the re-
cords of history, that "our army swore terribly
in FlaLders," but if the profane soldiers who
compos d "our army in Flauders " were here
at the present juncture, we'have every reason to
believe they would award the palm of 'profanity

brethren In truth, no other course would be

we rejoice with the other; still, as a truthful
journalist we are hound to record our impressions
of the causes which have conspired to produce
the result, as well as of the result itself. As
stated many times in our columns, the ltepublo
can party of this county is owned by their nom
inee for Senator When we say this we do not
mean to be understood as charging that he owns
the individual members of the party—far from
it; there are many among them we personally
respect; many of them who scorn and repudiate
his ownership, and defy hie dietatiere but that

that there are three of the Republican papers

and has been apparent , to all impartial observers
Thin being so, he is the owner, we repeat 4 of the
Republican organization of Erie county. And
this ownership, this dictation, accounts for the
nature and character of the call under which the
delegates to the Convention were elected. That

distanced by a more recent convert, was a sight
that, hardened as wo had become in plaits,

The Constitution states- that some Soo tons of iron
have boon purchased for the Pittsburg and Erie Railroad,
and will be received in a few days, when the work of lay
ing the track will at once be commenced. This will lay
nearly ten miles of track. The engineers aro engaged in
locating the line of read between West Greenville and
New Castle, which task will soon be completed. The in..

as West Greenville before the tirat'ef January next.
The Philadelphia Doneriai say that the Sunbury &

it is now expected that In too mouths, that is to say by the
10th °flume, 1839, they will have one hundred additional
miles of road in operation. Of this distance thirty miles
will be on the Eastern division, reaching to Partandsville,
and seventy miles on the Western Division, from Erie
through Warren and McKean counties.

is a novelty here, and by some may be oansidered an in.
Devotion, but there are 'many things to be said in favor of
it. It attracts many to hear the Word who would never

The Recent Report on the Boras Banks of
The report of the Legislative Cemmittee on
the condition of certain banks in this State, said
to be owned by Buffalo finauciiers, has elicited
from Wells D. Walbridge, one of the persons re
ferred to a long letter which appears in the
Buffalo papers. He says.
I have never had anything whatever to do
with any bank in Peansylvesia exeept the Bank
of Crawford County sad the Tioga equity Bank.
Of my eouseetion sad knowledge of these two,
I propose to speak:
I was never at Phoinixville, Shamokin, or Oc.
terms, and know nothing of those batiks.
I have now no interest in either of the banks
named, nor do I know of any eitizen of Buffalo
that has. My interest in the own was dimposed
of some time since, and the other before the ;Jr
potranee of the report of the committee, sod pri
or to my knowledge that they bad made one
So what I say is not influenced or prejudiced by
my interest, but a simple desire to state facts.
-He then goes into a history of the two banks,
defending their legality and proper organisation
and proper management, from first to !At, and
that both banks redeemed in specie, after nearly
all the other banks had sisanntled—teat no ono
ever bad oeension to lose anything on their notes,
and that they are still redeeming. Ile also says
the banks-mot with much opposition in their lo
calities, from the brokers, who were loaning
money from 3 to 6 per cent per month, while
the bank loaned at 6 per cent per annum. He
intimates very strongly, that the investigation
was got up for black mail purposes. He says:
On the appoinimebt of the investigating coo.
mime, I wish to say a few words. It was well
known at Harrisburg, that the movement by
which it was muted, originated with the lobby
of the Legislature. Threats were made to the
President of one of the banks, that if he did not
pay, forthwith, $5OO, he would have such a com
mittee appointed as would blow the bank sky
high. The money irks not forthcoming, but the
committee was—though I believe the men who
intended to compose it were not named. This
oommitteie was appointed about the first of last
April, but did not convene to investigate until
the latter part of Jane. Why this delay? I
leave others to judge.
Intimations came to the banks several times,
in a round about way, that the committee might
be along in a few days.
Wtien they presented themselves at the bank
at Meadville, they were distioetly informed that
the officers of the bank did not in any sense re•
eognixe their legal right to examine the bank;
but as they did not fear a fair investigation, it
would be permitted voluntarily. When they
had concluded it, I believe all the members ex
pressed themselves entirely satisfied with the oon
dition of the bank. This was,also substantially
the ease at the Tioga County Bank, as I am in .
formed by its o ffi cers, thoug h I was not person
ally present.
The men composing the committee are polittei.

It was necessary for them, in order to immortal ,

hoitora4le position in the Legislature, to show

by means of it, have become wealthy and pr os
perouseitics. Your article of this morning, spe s h,
of "trade having been diverted during the year
1855 and 1856 from Buffalo to Oswego "
post you herein I must go back 'many years
When the Erie canal was built, some New York
statesman wished that work to extend only from
Albany to Oswego. As the scheme was at, ex
periment they thought the expense even for a
canal of that length suffutient, but a wiser policy
prevailed, (wiser bowline the Welland canal irk
not then built,) and the work was continued to
Lake Erie, instessLof ending at Oswego on LA,.
Ontario.
A side canal was constructed from this last
point to Syracuse; and it, by means of the Wel.
land, around the Falls of Niagara, swells the
business of Erie below Syraeuse. Oswego bad
been laid out as a village in 1795.1, shortly after
the 'English gave up their military post dere..,l rat
it was of small account until all the canals tlx ne
named were constructed. Since then its growl
has been steady sod healthy, and itt,husnissi,
ways been as heavy as the shipping owned then
and the warehouse facilities would allow. As
milling point it is unrivalled in the world. But
I must tell you why lisine:s of late years seems
to have ken diverted from Buffalo. The trade
of the great West is always increasing, and that
too io a ratio commensurate with Liao growth of
the Western 31111 Northwestern States. Buffalo
harbor does not and cannot increase in a cartes,
pending dfgree There is a limit to its capaeiy,
it can only hold so many steamers, propellers :
sail vessels and canal boats; it his but a certain
extent of wharf property. Some of her bovine%
men moved to Oswego a few years age, taking
with tbm their capital, their shipping and their
canal boats. Oswego is also the natural product
of Upyer Canada, especially for that pint lying
west of Cuburgh, the IN a 'cheat groir;,, :j r ,.
