mutual forbearance, of the expediency Of the pre-
scrvation of the same state of things in the disputed
territory as existed at the date Of the Treaty Of
Client, and of avoiding all disputes which might
grow ont of the agitation OF it.


With respect to the two governments, there is
perfectly good understanding, upon the obvious pro-
priety, and indeed necessity. Of forbearance and
moderation on both sides. as to this question. Any
acts of contrary character are acts OF individual
citizens, without the authority sanction OF either
government and, Of course, are to be avoided and
rebuked.
This is the general state of the facts. As to the
particular case of Gen. Baker, referred to by the
Albion, we can only say, that if he stopped the mail
and did other obnoxious acts, son what is techni-
cay and practically British territory" by which we
understand such territory was in possion OF Great
Britain at the date of the Treaty of Ghen. and pre-
viously. then he violating what believe to be
the settled understanding between the two govern


ments. and his conduct will, Of course, receive no
countenancc the part of the United States
Whether he was on that territory not, is aques.
tion which depends upon evidence not within our
reach


We hope we have answered the question Of the
Albion satisfactorily. We will only add. that we
believe that measures will be taken, on the part Of


the United States to ascertain the true character OF


the transactions on the disputed territory, there


being disposition here to connIvc at any acts OF


violence, contrary to the understanding which exists


between Great Britain and the United States on this


subject.


| BANKS.--The number Of Banking institutions


in the United States, of all kinds, good bad and IN"


different is $50, (Which add thervarous branches,


and they will amount TO 600. OF this number


eighty are on the list of broken banks. All the Ken


lucky, Tennessee, Illinois, and Missouri banks are


of this class and those of Alabama are but little bet


ter. Maine has 23 banks, of which are broken:
Vermont 81 New w-Hampshre 90; Massachusetts

good, and we should think good for nothing Con-


necticut l6--2 broken Newly ork 55-7 broken:
New-J ersey 23--4 broken; Pepnsy lvania SLY

broken District of Columbia 15-3 broken; Vir-
ginia and l5 branches n. and s. Carolina 20;
Georgia Z; OHIO 34-22 broken; Mississippi

Considering the great number OF these institutions


scattered over the whole country, and using so ma.


ny different modes of engravngs, il is not surprising
that counterfeiting has become SO frequent. One
eighth of the convicts at Auburn, are confined for


this crime. The number of detected counterfeters
is about 24O the amount yearly put in circulation


is estimated at t,oo millions; the loss no doubt falls
principally upon the poorer class. for they are the


least able to detect them; some plan ought therea
fore to be devised to prevent this enormous deficit

: INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS The number and mag

ment strictly so called, canals, railways NC in proc

States. is truly astonishing and almost Incredible
:, We will enumerate some of them from memory. -
TO commence with our own state-we have near
500 miles of canal completed, in progress, or proc
o vided for. We have also the Schuylkil navigation,
1903 miles. in full operation; the Union canal. 30


miles nearly completed the Lehigh navigations


say 60 miles. connected with a railway of miles.
s Tributary to our state, have the Delaware and
Chesapeake canal, the Delaware and Hudson canal,
n the Morris canal and preliminary measures have
been taken. for the construction Of railway from
y Columbia to Philadelphia; another from Danvlle to
Il Mount Carbon: and for the connection ct the Sus-
e auehanna with the Delaware. by canal or railways
is or both by the Lehigh There is also. the Cones
D. toca navigation which, we presume, must be near
l. completion and meetings have been held to pro-
D cure the continuation of thePennsylvania cana1o

d In the west, we have the Ohio canal, in forward
J. state. which. when completed, will form line OF
about 500 miles. 1t IS prOposeu aiso' rs our iea-
ers have lately been informed, to connect this by
cross canal with the Pennsylvania canals. In the
SOUTH the Baltimore and Ohio railroad is in progresss
O and strenuous exertions are making to commence
: the Chesapeak and Ohio canals. Each of these


works are Of immense magnitude. In Virginia. there


is canal, and more have been projected in
