say, was answered by the payment of a million and a half of specie, in the course of a few hours. In this course the banks have by strict constructions of the law, forfeited their charters. In consequence, a proclamation of the Governor convening the Legislation appeared yesterday. It is as follows: Whereas, serious financial revulsion has occurred, resulting in the suspension of specie payments by the banks of this and other States, the failure of many long established commercial houses leading to the destruction of confidence and general embarrassment, threatening to affect disasterously, the credit of the Commonwealth and the great industrial interests of the people and requiring prompt, strict and efficient action to relieve the suffering community.... Therefore, I convene the Legislature to meet on the 6th of October, to adopt such measures as the present exigency requires. PITTSBURGH, Sept. 28. The excitement is subsiding. The Mechanics Bk. suspended to day. Business is paralyzed. All of our banks, except the Pittsburgh have suspended. The Providence Journal of yesterday morning in speaking of the condition of the affairs in that city says: 'There never before were two such weeks as closed upon the business of Providence last saturday Money continues at unmitigated rates although the demand slackens under the impossibility of obtaining discounts There is hardly any cotton in the market, and the manufacturers are working down their stocks, with no disposition to renew them under present circumstances. It is impossible longer to raise money to pay the labor and a dreary winter is before us. Until the news from Philadelphia and Baltimore arrived, there was a hope that the survivors of this week would go on with an easier money market; but these suspensions cut off a third of the collections upon which our banks were relying to meet their own engagements, and to extend relief to their customers. Providence stands now a creditor city but our collections on New York will not much more than ballance the demands upon us from that city, and those farther South are cut off by the suspension It is impossible to tell what the result will be, but it is plain that things cannot remain so much longer ### UNCURRENT BANKS. The following Banks are reported as uncurrent in this vicinity, though not all of them have failed: Mane.Bank of Hallowell, Hallowell -Canton Bank So. China-Ellsworth Bank, Bangor-Mousom River Bank, Sanford -Sanford Bank, Sanford. New Hamshire-Exter Bk, Exter, Vermont. Danby Bank, Danby-So. Royalton Bank, So. Royaiton, Massachusetts Cochituate Bank, Boston. Rhode Island. Bk. of So. Coventry Wakefield-Mount Vernon Bk., Providence R. I. Central Bank, Fall River -Warwick Bank, Warwick-Bank of Republic. Connecticut. Easton Bank, Killingly-Merchants Ex. Bank, Bridgeport-Worcester Bk., Danbury-Colchester Bank. Colchester. Pennsylvania-Warren County Bk, -Bank of New Castle-Lancaster Bk. New York-Bank of Orleans, Albion -Champlain Bank, Ellensburgh-Exchange Bank, Buffalo Farmers Bank New Paltz--Hollister Bank Buffalo-Merchants and Mechanicks Bank, Oswego-Niagara River Bank Tonawanda-Oliver Lee & Co, Buffalo--Ontario Bk Utica Reciprosity Bk., Buffalo-Sackets Harbor Bank, State Bk, Sackets Harbor-Chemung County Bank Horseheads-Ontario County Bk. Phelps-Yates County Bk. Penn Yan-Eighth Avenue Bk-Knickerbocker Bank. A little fellow from four to five years old, having perforated the knees of his trowsers, was intensely delighted with a patch his grandmother had applied. He would sit and gaze upon it in a state of remarkable admiration, and in one of these moods suddenly exclaimed: Grandma must put one on t'other knee and one behind, like Edy Smith's " "Let's take a horn," is a phase of frequent utterance. The blast of that horn may be the signal for the porter to open the gate of death. ### FACTS ABOUT THE PRESIDENTS. Four of the first seven were from Virgnia.--Two of the same name from Massachusetts, and the seventh was from Tennesee. All but one were sixty six years old on leaving office, having served two terms and one of them, who had served but one term would have been sixty-six years of age at the end of another. Three of the seven died on the 4th of July, and two of them were on the Sab Committee of Three that drafted the Declaration of Independence, and these two died on the same day and year, and on the Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, aud just half a century from the day of Declaration. The names of three of the seven ended in 'son," yet neither of these transmitted

I The Woolen Mill in Felchville, belonging to Prosper < Merrill, Esq., together with the machinery, cloths and to stock, was destroyed by fire on Tuesday evening the t t 23d inst. The fire was discovered at about half past 11 o'clock, in the upper part of the building. Cause of the fire unknown. Loss, $12,000; insured for $8,000. At an adjourned meeting of the Montpelier Association, held at Rev. Mr. Lord's, Montpelier, March 16, it was resolved to erase the name of Guy C. Sampson from the roll of that Association, and that he be no longer a member of that body. S. S. Skianer of St. Albans was recently fined $40 and costs for violation of the Liquor law.-A Frenchman named Reno was also fined $30 and costs, having just brought in a quantity of liquor from St. Johns. We learn that the books of the receiver of the South Royalton Bank, will be closed on the 7th of April next, and all bills of the bank not presented previous to that time will not be redeemed. A Lynx was shot by Mr. Rufus Smith, in Swanton, on the 16th inst. It was of unusual size, and though poor in flesh, it weighed twenty-four pounds. These animals are rarely found in our State, yet one was killed, we understand, a few days previous in Highgate. The extensive chair manufactory of Messrs. Burrage Brothers, in Burrageville, Ashburnham, with its contents, together with a large barn containing hay and chair stock, and a blacksmith shop a few rods from the above, were entirely destroyed by fire on Wednesday night of last week. The proprietors estimate their loss at from $8000 to $10,000, on which there is insurance of $2000 only, in the Fitchburg Mutual Co. In consequence of this fire, about 40 men are thrown out of employment, besides a great number of women and children, whose main dependence was seating chairs. The pine forests of Warwick, Mass., have lost their King. A few days since, Messrs. Geo. W. Howlard, and Frederic Putnam cut, on land of Mrs. Merrifield, a white pine tree, which by measure will make when sawed, eight thousand three hundred feet of inch boards. A correspendent asks, what is the milk of human kindness? We presume it means the milk used at hotels on the public tables, after having the cream taken off for private boarders!" The candidates for governor in Rhode Island are two of the wealthiest business men in the state, Alexander Duncan, the democratic candidate, being rated at something over a million dollars, and Elisha Dyer, republican, at about $200,000. John Lamountain, the seronaut, is constructing a mammoth balloon at Orwell, Vt., and will make his first ascension with it at Rutland. He has also engaged to make an ascension at Chicago, on the 4th of July. A pedler calling on an old lady to dispose of some goods, inquired of her if she could tell him of any road on which no pedler had traveled. Yes, I know of one, and the only one, and that's the road to heaven."
