The Philadelphia Peunsv Ivanian says that several of the Banks of that city refuse to receive the notes of the Towanda Bank, the Erie Bank, and one of the Berks County Banks. A meeting of the Stockholder of the Bank of Kentucky ou the Philadelphia Agency, is to be held in that City on the 10th of November. The Book of Bennington's Charter expired on the 1st January last, and the Bank Commissioners have recommended that an application in regard to it be made to the Court of Chancery-probably for the appointment of a Receiver. The Bank Commissioners of Vermont have published a statement of the situation of the Banks of that State.The aggregate circulation is $1,164,000; Deposits and Debts $200,000; Discounts $1,507,000; Specie $93,502; Deposites in Boston and Troy $431,700; other resources $193,500. An injunction has been placed on the Stillwater Canal Bank at Orono. The report of the Bank Commissioners of Maine says that this Bank has been in the hands of Now-York speculators, introduced by Mr. Cyrus Moore. The bills are nearly all in circulation in distant States.The amount of circulation is $:5,820. The resources. consist, first, of $19,816 paper past due. and of little value, principally in executions, and $38,354 due from the NewYork speculators, of which $15,857 was given for stock and $2,490 bills out. There is a deposite of 86500 in the Washington Bank, of this city, to redeem the circulation, but which is supposed to be exhausted. The Bank also owned a dwelling house, but this was destroyed by fire, and the real ostate is worth little or nothing. The value of its bills, of course, depends upon what may be obtained of the New-York speculators.

Decrease as compared with 1841....159,396 61 Nett receipts for 1842$920,499 42 Expenses ....390,046 70 Excess of receipts...$530,452 72 The Fell's Point Savings Institution, Baltimore, has de- clared a dividend of 3½ per cent, for the last 6 months. The Neptune Insurance Company, Baltimore, has de- clared a dividend of $10 50 per share, $7 of which are paya- ble to the stockboiders and $3 50 will be added to the capital. The Committee appointed by the House of Delegates of Maryland to investigate the affairs of the Farmers and Mil- lers' Bank, report that it is now, and always has been, a fraudulent device to plunder the unwary and confiding portion of the community, and introduce resolutions direct- ing the Attorney General to issue an injunction suspending the operations of the Bank until it shall be determined if the charter has been forfeited. The Report of the Commit- tee shows that the F. and M. Bank was only an offshoot of the exploded Millington Bank, and that it never had any le- gal existence. It appears that at one time there was only four dollars bankable funds in the Bank, and no specie ex- cepting some boxes of cents. The Committee found $1725 in specie and $235 in bank notes, to redeem $14,303 of cir- culation. The Bank was frequently sustained by borrowed money, and at the time of making yearly reports specie would be borrowed which was removed the same day. One of the witnesses before the Committee, Mr. Thomas N. Davis, stated that Guthrie (the main-spring of the Bank) in- formed him, in the year 1841, that "his bank, the Farmers and Millers' Bank, was doing well, but when the Milling- ton Bank had failed the money came in on them very rap- idly, but all was now over, and the prospect was good, and be had another bank charter in view, and wanted to put her in operation as soon as possible, and solicited me (him) to join him (Guthrie.) This was a Virginia bank, chartered at Kanabwa, a salt manufactory, and said his object was to keep the Farmers and Millers' Bank good, and that this only wanted some little specie, and the rest would be the Farmers and Millers' Bank money, which would do to start with, and when he got rightly under way she could be broke, and it was away from home," &c. The statement of the Lafayette Bank of Cincinnati, Jan. 21, 1843, presents a strong appearance. The cash assets amount to $74,712 22, of which there is in gold and silver $55,889 95, the balance in the notes of other specie paying banks. The circulation is only $43,747. The greatest cir- culation the bank had in 1842 was Jan. 4th, amounting to $458,312. Bills of the Stillwater Canal Bank, at Orona, Me., signed E. P. Butler, Cashier, and Nathuniel Treat, President, which are worthless, are in circulation, altered to Black- stone Canal Bank, at Providence, patent stereotype plates. The bill for putting the State Bank of Illinois into liquida- tion has been accepted by the Bank, and is now a law of the land. The Governor nominated for Bank Commissioner under this act Norman H. Purple of Peoria, and the nom- ination has been confirmed by the Senate. The Board of Directors of the Bank held a meeting on the 24th ult. The immediate liabilities entitled to a dividend of the specie were stated at $1,598,617. The specie on band is $487,000; from this there is to be deducted $15,000, which the law al- lows the Bank to retain-leaving to be distributed $472,000. This will pay about 29½ cents to the dollar. If, however, there is deducted a claim now included in the impediate liabilities held by the Bank of Missouri against the State Bank, as endorser of the Gas Light Co. of St. Louis, the div- idends will be increased to the sum of 31 cents on the doliar. The Federal Union says that the Central Bank, Ga., is receiving its notes at the rate of $20,000 per week. An act has just passed the Indiana Legislature, which pro- vides that the Treasury notes of that State bearing 6 per cent, and those bearing ¼ per cent. shall be received for all county dues. This includes payments on debts to county seminaries, school money, lands and surplus revenue.- Agents receiving these notes are required to disburse the same notes. The notes are also made receivable for Wa- bash and Erie Canal lands east of Tippecanoe River. At N. Orleans, sight Exchange ½ a 1 disc; 60 days 2½ disc; Sterling 3 a 3½; Francs 5 55 a 5 534. These rates were lower, and the demand was small. WEDNESDAY, Feb. 8. # Markets-Carefully reported for The Tribune.' ASHES. There is no movement in the market for Pots or Pearls. There are some buyers of Pots at 5 25, hut hold- ers are generalty asking 5 50, Pearls are entirely nominal at 6 50. COTTON.

The market for Western con- tinues quiet, with only small sales for the immediate wants of the trade. Prices are, if any thing, rather heavier, and 4 43 a 4 50 for Genesee is the top of the market. Michigan 4 31 a 4 37½; Ohio 4 37½ a 4 50; Troy 4 37½. In Ohio via N Orleans the operations have been considerable.

No Whale has yet been received, and it is much wanted. We notice sale of 50 cases Florence at $4 62½. Manufactured Sperms are declining. Winter has been sold below 55 cents. We notice sales of about 1,000 bbls. Crude Sperm at New-Bedford at 56 cents, which is a decline. The quantity pressing on the market there is very large, and it is supposed the price must go still lower. SALT. We notice a sale of a cargo 15,000 bashels St. Ubes, en private verms.
