 h relation to Mitchell, the Herald gives the ioi- lowing interesting particulars:

 ''ll seems that MiIcehll walked about in Phlladei- phia, ofdisguise, four days after he left the Astor House. At Philadelphia he wore an iron gray coat--a broad brmmed hat-a pair oi speclacles' with his eyebrows picked out. None of hls acquaa, tances knew him. His two "contingent ilends' which dagger and pill of prussic acid, were with him all the time. On Saturday, after the Tor geries, he travelled, in the same disguise, from rh ephIa to New York; and in the cars he Tell m with several persons thai he knew intimately Dut who did not know him.

 "An incident occurred at Troy, which shows that constant apprehension of being discovered m when he must have been laboring While purchasing stage ticket at that place, person standing benlnd hi'h read aloud from newspaper paragraph heaheo Mitchell The ForgG, upon which the guilty man turn ed suddenly round under the conviction that ne was discovered; but finding such not the case, he merely said he knew him, and believed him to oe great rascal

 "MitcheIl has kept journal of his life for some time, winch is in the hands of the authorities ms private papers, which contain some curious political and financial secrets, also m the same hands, put we presume they will be concealed, or spirited away from the public eye."

 BANKRUPT LAw.-Some of the citizens of New York, hopeless of the enactment of bankrupt law by Congress, are circulating memorial to the State legislature, praying the passage of one by that body It offers specific provisions, except the exemption from attachment of all property amassed, by honest insolvents, after legal assignment of all their pos sessions.

 By the way, the following very sensible opinions on this subject, are from recently published work by Mir. Appleton, distinguished whg and intelligent merchant of Boston:

 "A bankrupt law applicable to banks would un- doubtedy be the most efficient of measures for pre- venting suspensions of specie payments, and keeping banks within reasonable limits. Such a law, to go into effect in twelve months would be the most efec- tua of measures for restoring and regulating the cur rency--to apply to d continued suspension of payment for thirty days. Constitutional objections have been suggested, but without much apparent force. Appa- rently nothing in the power of Congress would be so decidedly eiectual as the establishment Of such a law"

 The same writer is in favor of a national bank, with moderate capital, but thinks that should not be enacted until general resumption of specie payments With present system of state banks, he thinks, a national bank would be useless It would neither afford a sound currency regulate the exchanges of the country.

 It is stated that Mr. Whitcomb, the commissioner of the General Land Oiice is to be kept in office. The administration may take credit to itself for this stretch of magnanmity, but suspect it the def erence paid to the extraordinary popularity of Mir. Whtcomb with the people of the far vest The whigs are skilled in the of adapting their conduct to circumstances.

 Papers have been received at New Orleans from Havana four days later than the accounts we pubsh- ed yesterday Much sickness prevailed among the strangers there.
