THE MISSISSIPPI UNION BANK. We learn by a letter from Jackson, from a source to be relied upon, that the Directors the Union Bank passed a resolution on the 14th instant, requesting the stockholders to assemble and surrender the charter of the Bank. This resolution was opposed by President Runnels.The operation of losing so lucrative an office as that which he has had the honor to hold, and the capacity to fill, is not quite so agreeable as the acceptance of it. The residue of the directors having taken their share of the spoils, and but little prospect ahead of another dividend, are therefore willing to give the shell to the people, after having sucked the egg. The appetite of President Runnels, however, is not so easily appeased. What a sad commentary on the banking sys. item, does this hopeful institution present. Two years have only elapsed since it commenced opetions with an actual capital of nearly five millions of dollars. and now the very men that have managed the institution since its commencement, de clare by their acts, that it is hopelessly insolvent! It takes a dozen Mississippi "boys" to discm bowel "a monster" of this magnitude in such short order.

There appears to be considerable difference of opinion at Philadelphia in regard to the acceptance by the Banks of the provisions of the relief bill recently passed by the Legislature of that State. In relation to this question, Bicknell's Reporter says--" It is said that the Commercial Bank of this city-the Philadelphia Bank-the Southwark Bank-and one or two other institutions will not: but the opinion prevails that the majority of our banks will yield as a measure of necessity rather than of choice-that the loan will be taken and the Small notes issued." The Tremont Insurance Company of Boston has declared a semi-annual dividend of ton per ceat. The Charleston Courier says that the Stockholders of the Camden Bank have again rejected the act of the last session of the Legisla. ture in relation to bank suspensions. The Branch Bank of Darien at Dahlenega is said to be paying its bills in coin whenever presented. By an advertisement pablished in the Jackson (Miss.) paper, we learn that the Board of Directors of the Mississippi Union Bank have resolved that is essential to the interests of the bank, that its affairs be put into the most speedy train of liquidation, consistent with the present condition of the country. The Albany Argus says- The Collector in this city received on Saturday the largest amount ever collected for Canal tolls in a single day at this office, viz: $6,904 34.
