It is probable that the State of Pennsylvania will grant a new charter to the stockholders of the United States Bank. A bill

for that purpose has been passed in the House of Representatives, by a considerable majority ; and the price of the stock has conse- quently advanced from 110 to 129. The stockholders have agreed to give the State a bonus of five millions of dollars for their charter ; one half of which is to be paid into the Treasury, and the other half to different schools, railway, "and internal-communi- cation-improvement companies."
