Sunday in London.
The follow ing picture of a London Sab
bath is drawn by Mr. CaMrsiu, in his
Magazine. It must, therefore, be
mid is Certain!’' interesting— Churl. Cour.
It trjay not be unamusing, perhaps not
_ i i'ui*tPVlCtive r to consider the mode, in
which some of th<* various classes of Lon
don society dispose of themselves upon
. the Sabbath,
The rational Christian goes to church
In an rxhilaring spirit o' grateful devotion
to Don, and universal charity to mankind;
and feeling persuaded that the most ac
• ccptable homage to the Creator must he

the roat of the day to innocent recreations,
end tlve enjoyment of domestic and social
intercourse.
The bigot enters his Salem or Ebenc

of gloom ond horror; by dreadful denun
ciations against the rest of mankind, and
aseetical self-privations. He holds with

next. In *ll probability, he is a vice-tup.
pressor, and, hating to see others enjoy
that which lie denies to himself, wages a
petty but malignant warfare against hu
man happiness, fiom the poor boy's kite to
the old woman’s apple-stall. If in good
circumstances, he orders out his coach
man, footman, and horses, to go to chapel,
that the world may at once know his
wealth and his devoutness ; yet dines up
on cold meat, to let God Almighty sec that
he does not unnecessarily employ his ser
vants on the Sabbath, Music on this day
is an utter abomination ; and if he had his
will, he would imprison the running wa
. ters for making melody with the pebbles;
set the wind in Ui6 stocks for whistling;
and cite the lark,the thrush, and the black
bird into the ecclesiastical court.
Ti e man of fashion cannot possibly get
dressed in time for church ; tbc park is
mauvuit ton .—there is uo other place to
ride in ; —he hates walking—lounges at
the subscription-house, and votes Sunday
a complete bore, until it is time to drop in
at the Marchioness’s, in Arlington street.
Jammed in by other carriages, and some
tithes unable to move from the same spot
for hours together, the woman of fashion
spends her Sunday morning in the ring,
exposed to sun, wind and dust, and the
rude stare of an endless succession of ori
ental vulgarians.
Half filling his showy and substantial
carriage, the rich citizen rides from his
country house to the church, fully «npres
•ed with the importance of the duty he is
performing, and not altogether unmind
ful of the necessity of acquiring an appe
tite for dinner. He has, moreover, a lurk
ing hope, that his supplications may not
hare antsnpropitloiis effect on the Told of 1

which he is short insured,■ to strengthen
which influence, he to his son

printed bills of lading ; censures the same
imyiropriefv in the form cf modern wills;
and informs him that most of the bid mer
cantile legcrs had the words * Laos Deo’ ,
veryipropcrly printed in their first page. (
His w ife, fat and fine, with a gorgeous pe
lisse. and a whole flower-garden in her
bonnet, sits opposite to him, and, a* they
go to church to abjure all pomps and va
niiics, their rich liveried servant, withfif- !
ty bobs and tags dangling from his shoul
der, clutters up the aisle behind them, to
perform the cssentl.il offices of carrying
one little prayer-book, and shutting the
d or of their pew. Whatever be therark
of those who practice this obtrusive and
indecorous display, it is of the very cssance
of vulgar ups’art pride, and constitutes an
offence, which the beadleof every parish
ought to have special orders to prevent.
The c'dy dandy and dandrsette, arrayed
in the very newest of their septenary Cush
ions, pick the cleanest way to the Park,
mid leaving the verdant sward, übmragc- ■
oils avenues, and chirping birds of Ken
siiigtqn-gavdens, to nursery maids and
children, piefer taking the dust, and en
joying ihe crowd hy (lie road-side, accom
pant del by the unceasing grating of the
carriage-wheels in the gravel.
The maid screen', having a smart new
bonnet, asks her mistress’s permission to
Co to morning service; and, when her
fellow-servants inquire what the sermon
was about, exclaims, with a toss of her
head. * I always told Mary what the flirt
ing of that fellow Tomkins would come
to; spite of all his fine speeches about
the banns, they was’ut no more asked in
church than 1 was.’
The laborer, or mechanic, who was for
merly enabled to freshen his feet in the
grass of the green fields, and recreate his
smoke-dried nose villi the fragrance of
a country breeze, can no longer enjoy
that gratification now that London itself is
gone out of town He prow ls about the
dingy swamps of Battersea or HPc End,
with a low bull dog as his heels, which lie
says lie will match, for a gallon of bcer,-

scrupulous inaccuracy, misplaces his IPs,
V’s, and V»”s . At Vatixhall he stops to

montel in his incomparable biography)
that with much nobleness and dignit/of
soul, Marshal Saxe was fond of mirth and

loved merriment in his armies, stating, that
the French never did so w6ll as when they
were led on gaily, and what they most fear
ed in war, was weary inactivity He had
always a comic opera in his camp It \yas
at the theatre he gave the order of battle ;
and on those occasions, the pr'mciiml ac

Jlfacklin’s advice to his son. —T have of
ten told you that even mau must be the
maker or marrrr of Ms own fortune- I
repeat the doctrine. He who depends
upon incessant industry and integrity, de
pends upon patrons of the noblest, the
most exalted kind—they are the creators
of fortune and fame,’the founders of
families, and never can disappoint or
desert you. They control all human deal
ings, and turn even vicissitudes of fortu
nate tendency to a contrary nature. You
have genius, you have learning, yon have
industry at timet, but you want’ perseve
raurc; without it, you can do nothing. I
bid you wear this motto in your mind con
stantly—‘•PßnsEvcni;.”
Some people think it vastly fine, when
a marriage is published, to have a few

On modem Banking. 11
In the midst of the gen n ral, and, ;
for a time, irremediable embarrass- j
ment which befals a people wlio have .
confided in dishonest or ill-managed ,
Hanks, there is at least the consola
tion that there follows in its train a |
knowledge of the true principles of ,
hanking, of exchange, and of the na
ture and value of money, which had (
been happily acquired at a less ex
pense. More definite notions begin
to be formed of the duties and obliga
tions of banks and bank officers, and
of banks and those who deal with
them. It is impossible for a bank to
stand, wbise foundation is under
mined, either by the continual im
pairing its capital to make enormous
dividends, ar by the direct frauds and
peculation® of its officer 9. Rank af
ter bark explodes; fraud after fraud
is detected ; artifice after artifice is
disclosed, and yet wo know not all.
The extent to which the flagrant mis
management of banks has lieen ear
ned in the Western states, is almost
beyond belief. It is Pope, we believe,
who says—
“Ao< to admire is all the art I Vnow
“To make men happy a.id keep them so.”
This lias always.appeared unintel.
ligible enough to us; but. if ever it
was applicable, it must be to the stock
holders of the banks referred to in
the following article. We trust, if
such practices ever prevailed any
where as arc more than insinuated
below, that they are original inven
tions, and have not been borrowed,
along with the rage foi banking, from
the Atlantic border. Wherever they
exist, the directors must be as much
to blame as the Bank officers, or they
must be impenetrably stupd.
[National intelligencer.]
From (he Fra til,tin f Tennessee ) Gazette.
“ RAG SYSTEM.”
Scarcely a day passes but we hear
something of the roguery and evils
which the rag system” has origi
nated. How many cashiers have
run off with whole hanks, in the TJ.
States? (The generality of which
are easily removed, consisting most
ly of paper.)' And how many sets
of directors have divided the profits
of hanks among them selves, and burnt
or altered their notes for something
less valuable than they have receiv
ed ? There are many banks in ibis
hitherto happv country, which arc
now, and have been, managed no
ncstly, as far as ire know ; but how
long will this be the case under the
present march of wickedness and
perfidy, when there are so many fto
norable examples of cheating?—
When directors and managers can
enrich themselves bv breaking banks,
and live creditably in* society after
wards ; when agriculture and domes
tic economy become debased by the
exaltation of roguery.'add .speculate
on; when men become rich on the
hard labor rtf others; get other men’s
property into their bands-.- 4 break
mTrhandctP'—and, after all, five in
the full eanshine of popularity and
good will, and seek, and often obtain,
the highest honors in our civil govern,
ment; when bankruptcy becomes ho
norable, on account of its general
prevalence, and, together with idle,
ness and vice, envelopes the country
in ruin !
The people in this country receive
and pass off notes On banks, of the
solvency of which they know noth
ing, but still they ere lit and support
them by law. It is true, that the le
gislature of this state has demanded
and received an expose of most of
those establishments, from their cash
iers. Hut what of that ? Does any
man believe that he has ever receiv
ed in this way the whole condition of
any one bank in Tennesee? If he docs
he is grossy mistaken* He may
have the amount of specie on hand
and on deposit, and the amount of
debts due to ami from that bank,
shewing a very glowing picture of its
solvency and wealth.
Rot is this all the condition of a
bank ? It may be true and correct
so far as the exposition goes, but no
farlber; a bank may be ten times
as much broken as the Fayetteville,
Tennessee, or Farmers and Media
nicks’, and make as good an “expose”
as the old state bank or any other;
and in this, way, the directors might
agree among themselves, and fix mat
ters nicely, by furrowing all the spe
cie in the country round about, and
giving satisfactory assurances of its
being returned in a day or two , by
calling into the bank all the money
they could possibly command with
the same assurances, by petting per
sons who are indebted to the bank to
pay up the money and take it out a
gain after the expsoe, and if any
more should be wanting to balance
the business in favor of the banks,
tbe directors might give each of
them their notes for more than the
sum in default; and having the
whole management of the business
themselves, could take them up im
mediately after the expose and burn
them, without the knowledge of any
other fjeraens. In this way a good
expose may be made by the meanest
bank in tbe state. We do not as
sert that an expose ever has been
made on those principles, but strong
ly believe, that at least a part ol the
above rules have aided greafly in
forming many of our bank expositions,
and will be more needed in future
than they ever have been heretofore.
There is another way in which
branch banks or independent banks
might make a favorable expose--
that is, by by throwing all their spe
cie and effects ia'o one bank till she
made nut her expose, and then fur
nishing another in the same way, un
til all could make out an exposition
from the same capital. There arc
many ways in which banks can ope
rate, under their occult policy, to
gain and support their credit in all
situations, until it becomes a matter
of great interest to the directors
and stockholders to break up.—ln
fine, to view the general history of
paper money from the loginning of
the world to (lie present day. we
have (lie no st complete picture of
human depravity that can be exhibit
ed in any shape.

Fire] —Last evening about half
•past 12 o’clock, oar citi/.ens were
alarmed by the cry of lire, which
proved to be in Union-street. The
rapid progress of the flames, and the
extensive collection of o'd wooden
buildings on Union-street, and on

ened at the commencement, a very
alarming conflagration : but the al
mnst unprecedented spirit and en

Beware of Counterfeiters !
On Thursday last, a warrant was
issued on the affidavits of William
B. King and Richard Bradford, to
apprehend Beasan P. Bowie, William
Duncan and Robert Fletcher, for be
ing concerned in altering end pass
ing counterfeit bank notes. Late in
the evening, Capt Yancey, the She
riff of Monroe County, collected a
sufficient guard and proceeded to
the house ot James R. Rogers, about
20 miles, where it was believed they
had, for some time, been carrying on
their banking operation®, lie found
Duncan and Fletcher there, whom he
secured and brought into town the
next morning. In the course of the
day Bowie, not being apprised of
the situation of the others, arrived at
Mr. Carter’s Hotel, and was imme
diately placed under guard with the
others. Capt. Yancy having been i
somewhat exhausted by fatigue and '
loss of sleep the over night, it was '
late in the evening before they were ;
brought before the magistrate. Their
examination was deferred till next
day. We have to regret that Fb tell
er made his escape a little before
day, leaving his horse, saddle bugs,
and a quantity of money on the bank
of the U. .States, believed to be genu
ine. The examination of this conti
nued from nine o’clock till nearly
night, which resulted in their being
required to give bail for their appear
ance at the next Ciruuit Court. The
investigation disclosed, that a num
ber of fliers were concerned, v*lio
have been arrested ami will be exa
mined to morrow. There can ho
hut little doubt, that the company at
Roger’s is a link of a chain of coun
terfeiters, extending through Tennes
see and perhaps through many <>'
the Southern and Western States
In the saddlebags of Fletcher, were
found a number of Plates, designed
for altering bills of the Huntsville.
St. Stevens, and United States
Ranks. A note was produced on
the trial, which .had been altered
from a one to a tea dollar Huntsville
biii
Various other counterfeit bills on
the banks of Georgia and Tennessee
have been recently detected, and no
doubt issued from the same source.
Too much praise cannot be bestowed
on Capt. Yancey, for the prompt
and vigorous exertions he used in
bringing the offenders to justice, amt
much credit is due Mr. King for the
pains he took in discovering them &
lodging information thereof to the
proper officer. Able counsel was
employed by the prisoners, who, as
the testimony was circumstantial,
with much eloquence and ingenuity
urged their discharge. Rut James
Del let, Jr. esq in a strain of elo
quence, we have seldom had the
pleasure to witness, pointed to the
Justice the proper course, and the
only one they should have pu sued.
