The Auburn and Rochester Railroad Company have declared a jannual dividend, amount not named The Insurance Company of North America, Philadelphis, a semi- annual dividend of 6 per cent. net, payable on demand. The receipts on the Madison and Indianapolis Railroad show an enormous gain over last year For 5 $25,082 13 weeks ending Jan. 1848, they were 10,681 6 For weeks ending Dec. 31, 1846 $14,400 Excess equal to 137 per cent Under the present able management the Road promises to become one of the most valuable properties in the country. We learn from the New-Orleans papers of the 7th that on the previous day some malicious rumors were set afloat that the Canal Bank was in difficulty, which caused a run upon that institution which lasted during the entire day. The amount of coin paid out was about $120,000. The Bank was kept open after dark in order to give any one an opportunity to get the coin for his notes: but there was little or 110 call after o'clock. There were few or no deposits withdrawn. The situation of the Bank in round numbers on the morning of that day was 88 annexed $1,800,000 Specie in her vaults Northern & European Ex. all available, at least. 1,100,000 2,500.00 Shortbusiness paper, payable at maturity $5,400,000 Making & total of 1,200,000 Their circulation was 2,200,000 Their deposits The Commercial Times, in connection with the excite. ment, makesthe following statement The Canal Bank recently drew two checks for $5,000 eschon the Merchants' Bank of Boston, having smple funds maturing from day to day to meet a much larger amount. but as the Bank was not actually in funds that very day, they refused to honor the drafts. The fact was immediately communicated by Telexraph to the Agent of the Canal Bank at New-York and in fifteen minutes $80,000 were placed to the credit of the Bank at Bost n, and the chelks of course instantly paid. Now mark the difference. The Merchants' Bank of Boston drew a few days since, $10,000 on the Canal Bank here, and although this institution was not in funds, the draft was duly honored. It must be borne in mind. moreover, that these checks were presented one Cay after the re ceipt of the protest by the Canal Bank. of the two drafts in question on the Merchants' Bank of boston. Farther amounts have since been drawn, but the holders here being aware of the fact that the Canal Bank was not covered, declined presenting them for the present. Comment on such a course is unnecessary. The trans. action speaks for itself. The net passenger receipts on the Northern Rail road for the four weeks ending Dec. 25, were $8,288 02The gross freight receipts for the same period were $17,057 33. The net passenger receipts for the week endng January 1, 1848, have been $1,973 04 This is certainly very encouraging statement, consadering that December and January are among the poorest months of the year for Railroad receipts, and that the Northern Road is not yet fully opened, and especially that it has no connection with the great Roads north of it, from which it is destined to receive its chief revenue The Alabama Life Insurance and Trust Company Mobile have a declared a dividend of 4 per cent The Insurance Company 6 per cent.
