proximate cause of the ruin which every whore
stares us in the lace, and will bo intense, and
perhaps, beyond endurance, when properly shall
ho brought under the hammer of Iho Ehenffl beg
to offer a few considerations. It is well known
that specie is the basis of all hanking operations.
—lt these last are to afford any facilities to coin
mrreial men, they must bo everted in commercial
places. Where are the saala of commerce! Are
they not on the Atlantic coast! Does not com
merce leave, as well as approach, tins shore I If
commerce was an invading army, <St heal opposed
hy specie and its auxiliary, paper credit—where
situlud these ha . taliom-J ! Bearing thia idea fit
mind, mark the condition of the country when
tile Specie Uircnlar issuer). The increased citcu
iatmn of 135 millioni, from the causes already
stated, had stimulated the Western and Southern
merchants to largo investments in merchandize,
obtained from the Atlantic ports ; this in turn
induced Eastern merchants to impoit increased
supplies, and a debt in Europe of 50 millions was
I the consequence. In the mean time, the most
industrious measures were taken hy the Govern
ment to drain Great Brit iin ot its specie, lor Iho
puipose of effecting the long cherished folly of an
f.relutivolH metallic cutrency. This miserable
infatuation had induced a legislative change in
the purity as well as value of gold, and had de
manded the payment of alt debts duo the Gov
ernment, in Europe, to he made in gold and sil
ver. The consequence of these united measures,
was tin unusual importation of specie, lo such an
extent that the specie capital of the Bank ol Eng
land alone was reduced 20 millions of dollars
nearly half its whole amount, and the American
specie capital increutet! 50 millions. In sell
defence that Bank, one year ago, gave notice that
its acemnmoda'ions would be withheld from the
American trade—and the process was actually
commenced. The only hiqie ol the American
merchants to induce the Bank lo countermand it*
policy wa«, in the course of their regular and ac
customed business, lo collect and return the spe
cie thus improvidcnlly withdrawn fiorn it.—
At this moment lire specie order issued, and im
mediately it was marched from the coast tn'tho
frontiers from the commercial cities to the unin
hibited forest remote from the scene of sc ion,
and for the u ; c of speciulators. The Western
Banks that contained it overawed their neighbor
mg banks, and these immmedialcly. as did the
Eastern Banks fro n whte'i it was removed, com
menced the work of contraction, so that W astern
merchants were crushed as it caught under a
dea l-fall, and ihoa" in the Erst f red infinitely
worse, because greater in hutnhrsr and in the front
of the battle. This removal of the specie from
the field of contest, had a threi fold operation. It
prevented Eastern merchant! from collecting ami
sending «(>ecio lo pay their debt* in Europe. It
prevented Eastern Banks from continuing, and
what was worse, from extending accommodation*
‘ to the merchants of tire cities, and it prevented
Western merchants from making their usual
remittances to the East. Now, with a con -
men ial debt jjoff 50 millions bunging over the
country, with all the source* of supplies lo

misfortune*.
I propose now, with much diffidence, to sug
gest my views of the remedy calculated lo relievo
i lire Country from its unquestionably deplorable
| condition. I ha«e already said the States have
I parted with all right to interfere with the currency
either »fjecic or /io/ki: and, if the nation is ol the
opinion Fiat it lielongs to Congress, (am) that the
t/iecic cit. rsney docs there can Vie no question.)
tile course j< a plain one. Congress bar provid
ed s so. making and managing us ipccie

impediment retm. *ed, establish any other suita
ble institution for ibe rrgulslion of its paper cur
rency. It del so—n,’ instrument could have bel

eonsequrm cs. But lest so, 'e may yet doubt that
, thia ia the cauve of our Iroub. s*i let mo ask, if a
similar war had been waged against Iho Mint,
and allrmlcd with like success,# * that each State
i might bin o authorized every ma tin it lo make
1 Kia own money, with whatever i. vial lie n iqht
Bunk proper; without regard lo pun v i quantity
t or quality, think you ths same wrote I’M result*
i would not have followed such stupend," l ” folly!
How ia the case altered if paper current/ i* ••«-
, rosary to a country, and alike the pocui at ob
ject of flic govotnmcm'a concern and protec ton!
Have not the Htates authorized 067 hunki U>
‘make paper money without any regard to puril/,
i quantity or quality! With equal tight might they
not have conferred the same power upon every
man in thu nation! Muppote they should have
i established 06V mints, who Joes not see the mon
. strous consequences! Can the imagination con
ceive of any stale of things to wholly destructive
i of all confidence between man and man, in a
stale of society, as the privilege of evtty man’s
making his own money! It is a most astounding
■ fact, so far as «pliper money is concerned, and I
i have endeavored to show it is as useful as the
i other, under similar tcgulalions. the country has
- actually arrived at llnlt very point. If then it is
proper that the Fedortil Government should regu
l laic the ■ prune, every man must scu that a like
t control should be exerted over the paper currency
, o( the country, for ns‘to tbo business of life, they
servo a precisely similar plrtpoac, and wo have a
right to expect aa much care, wiadow and success
in the orts-as the other.
I come confidently then to the declaration ilia'
a Bank of the Unitedßtates, is to tho paper vihol
a Mint ia to Ihes/tec/e'cuirency, and that no
time should bo loai, When the conatitutiomrl diffi-
F cully is at rest, in establishing such an institution
—And Igo further, no bank will an effectually
, accomplish that purposes* the present BSbk of
i the United States. In making thia declaration
■ no in in sacrifices more than does its atuhtfr. No
mill could have had; trenger prejudice* against it.
i No man believed it more nncomlitulional khd in
expedient. Os the first, he is yet unconifiliccd,
hut of the latter he has lung since yielded (he
peiut and made his concessions, as public aa
were his accusations, and (his he will never flail lo
do, whether in privateer public life, whenever he
ia convinced of hi* error. So should every other
man, so should Mr. Van Uurcn, and it will he
the noblest act of his life, 'let not t foolish pride,
at the rxpense of his sufficing enuntry,cauae him
lo adhere lo hia mote foolish pledge# to Sherrod

Ins unguarded follies. Let us profit by the light
i | ofcxperienco. Thetllst Federal Bank died, lon
i | ving tho rich legacy of n sound currency, which
a giddy and thoughtless heir soon contrived lo
; | throw into tho most inexplicable confusion,—
• i Once mine relieved by the creation of another
I ' bank, all things went on aa before, not a wish
! nor a want for which it waa intended that wns
1 not more than realized. If then, on a former oc-
I 1 casion, it respited the country from precisely rittii
; lar difficulties, ami wh-n forced to the tomb of
t nn .predecessor it lelt us prosperous up to tho full
. measure of our desires, why not, if ‘it can bo re
■ viveil, resort immediately to its guardian care.—
1 It is a tried instrument: what it once performed
s it cun do again. It is already in operation under
■ Elute authority, the host proof of its deserving
f character, and therefure the more able to give
1 speedy relief, a matter of the l(u.t importance lo
i a people that have had an ago of suffering crowd
i ed into a point of time. It has experience, it
i has the public confidence, it has ability, and
what is better, it has at its head tho ablest
financier in tho world, in whose capacity and
i integrity even 'bis enemies confide. It is a
. name that will give credit to every species
I of obligation to which it may ho affixed. Such
I a Head and Mich a Bank ia all sufficient, without
s any other aid, fur our purpose, and wilt operate
t upon tlio impending darkness under which weso
■ fearfully grope, like a charm, ami once more re
-0 j store us'lo the light ol bolter times. No Troasu
-1 | ry Bank will answer, the very idea of connecting
e the Executive, already 100 strong from its own
n patronage; with the MONEY POWER of the
• government, is enough to startle tho lowest
’• parasite that crawls at tho feet of power.—
I- No Bank with which tho Elates shall ho con
i. tioclod ought for a moment to he established. They
n have nothing to do with it, they have parted with
;• limit power over the currency, their rights should
a| bo kept distinct. As xvell might they lie con
n | neeted with the Federal Government, in the etc-
IfjCUiioti of any other powoi conferred on that
it Government. It would be as ridiculous to join
e them with the regulation of the paper as that of
y specie currency, and no one can hcleivc they
it ought lo be ecu neeted \vi h the Mint. We should
s conic up boldly ami fearlessly, dreading no per
• Mittal consequences, to the immediate ineorpnra
- tion of the present Bank, if die nation thinks the
- constitutionality of the question is settled. Eo
- ' thought General Jackson's friends and voted for
a I the charter which he rejected. If they afterwards

, j now, that he has no further use for them or they
t for him, is the accepted time to change back
• I again and grunt to the people what they have
’|*i long desired.

so far from obeying (he will of lb* people, thus 1

they are doomed to a much longer servitude, to
the heartless exaction* of parly, and therefore lo
the evd of - the times, than tire most favorable

‘ SIX DAVE LATER FROM ENGLAND.
By the arrival of the packet ship Oxford Rath
bone. from Liverpool wc have received our files
' of English papers, embracing Liverpool dates to ‘
the fid am!-London to tire 2d Juno.
The intelligence of the suspension ot specie
‘ payments by our banking institutions, had not
j been received at Liverpool at the time of the
I Oxford's sailing.
The proceedings Os Parliament sre of no gen- !
eral interest.
The Roscoc had arrived at Liverpool, carrying I
; th:ther|lhc account of the unsuccessful imesioir of '
. the committee of New York merchant* to Wash
ington, and its return. The Liverpool Chronicle
of June 3, remarks:— ;
[ “The apathy of the new President had excited, 11
necessarily, a strong feeling of ■indignation; and,' j I
, in truth, the Americans luCo some reason to • I
feel dissatisfied. No government in the world 1
stands in *0 proud a position as the American ex- j
| ecutive —none »o able to restore effectually tbe ■
all but bankrupt state of the country’s commef.-e. I
While the government ia wallowing m useless '
wealth, and tire public revenue for exceeds the i
current expenditure—while squabble* loud and ;
lengthy have at,sen m Congress and elsewhere, 1 ,
respecting the appropriation of what is termed the 1 <
“suiplu., iivcuut," it i» a h'd* ft** bad for 4* j
chief rtiagU rate of a great naU*n to ait quiet and
t ..different at the almost universal ruin which |
every where surrounds him, when he possesses
the means, if he hail the inclination, to mitigate
i;» severity. Look at the conduct of die Hank ol
England toward the American houses in this
country— establishments toward which she could
not feel very favorably disposed —and contrast
her disinterestedness »ilh the apathy of the Amer
ican Pretident toward the misfortunes of his own
countrymen. To the latter, the comparison is
by no means complimentary."
The Uoscoc carried out the news of the run
upon the Mechanic’s Bank and the Dry Dock,
willi the suspension of the latter. The news of
\ ihc general suspension of our hanks, however,had
not reached England. Still, so important did
they consider the Koscoe’s news at Liverpool,
and so gloomy withal, that two expresses were
instantly deVpatched to London. At the mo
ment the advices reached the metropolis, the di
rectors of the Bank of England were considering
the propriety of extending their assistance to the
American houses, already propped up by them, to
j the end of the year. But the intelligence by the
I Kosroe appeared so alarming that 'they broke up
i without coming to any decision. Two or three
days were subsequently spent inf-ofulesa disens
; sion, and the directors parted on the evening of
I'tbe Ist of June, without having arrived at any
| conclusion. Meantime both the London and
I Liverpool packets were detained to bring out the
ultimatum of the Bank. That ultimatum is con
tained in the annexed article from the Liverpool
Uhronicle ol the 3d.
“We have ascertained that the directors of the
Bank of England have declined ti support the
embarrassed American houses beyond the time
originally agreed upon—the first of June. The
directors have had several meetings on the subject,
and the bank parlor has been the scene of protrac
ted and augry discussion. They met, wo under
stand, on Thursday, afternoon, and utter remain
ing in deliberation for a length of time, adjourned
until 5 o’clock, when they again assembled and
continued in deliberation until after g o’clock;
when they came to the determination in conso
quence of the present critical slate of monetary
matters, both here and in the United Slates, of
witholding any fa/ther support from the Ameri
can firms, which they had previously guaranteed
support for spec fled period. That period hav
ing expired, they were determined to incur no
farther responsibility.
This resolution on the part of the directors of
Iho Bunk of England, had necessarily produced
a groat sensation among the monied interest of
London, to whom it had become known. Mr.
Glynn, a London hanker of great eminence, im
mediately (mated down to Birmingham with the
intelligence, and on his arrival llteVe Lad the
good fortune to meet with a parly of gentlemen
belonging to the Grand Junction railway, who
had been frisking an excursion along the line.
The party immediately proceeded to Liverpool
with the important news in their possession, and
it became knoton on ‘Change hoforc the arrival
of the cveiiiVig Wipers. The effect of this intelli
gence soon ttsmfcstcd itself. An cstahlihment,
deeply involved with America—and o'ne of the
largest importers of cotton in this great commer
cial mart —immediately suspended payment Con
nected as this establishment is with other firms
of more or less importance, wo cannot view the
■ consequences hut with feelings of alarm. Wc
are now it is In he feared, only arriving at the
beginning of the end.’ ”
Os course the disastrous hews from the United
States produced a serious reaction on the London
Block Exchange, in regard to American securi
tes, the new bonds of the Bank of the United
• 'fates.
These bonds were done on the Ist, ad 91; those
of the Morris Canal a97 j a UR. The following
is extracted from the “City" head of the morning
Herald of June. If:
“The directors of the Bank of England have
been engaged again to-day in, it is said important
discussions relative to the situation of the Ameri
can bouses requiring a further extension of time
to repay the advances made to them some lirno
trince. tip to a late hour this morning the crulo
remained m deliberation and nothing upon which
dependence can bo placed was allowed to trans
pire. A variety of rumors have been current
this nfu'rnoon relative to the present determine*
tion of t.’*« directors. It is staled that Iho gover
nor <St depi ty governor had an interview with the
ministry tods v i upon the matters which at present
excite so much i nterest, but nothing lias transpired
whatever of the i, anil. It is stated .hat the ac
counts from Livery 001, today were unsatisfactory
and impeded, in fa, % the completion of the
arrangement in questilhc court of direc
tors remained in dclibct.irlt 011 long subsequently
to the period when busine 's regularly terminated
in the city. It was undersi ' le d no definite
result was come to before the faceting broke up.
The Court of Directors isau ’’d ft" 3 afternoon
the following notice:
ll Tho governor and company of .’J IO Dank ol
England do hereby give notice than o,‘ l ••••I after
the Ist instant, they will bo ready to rcL -< * vo a P*
plications for loans upon the deposit of apy’t' )Ve “
hills of exchange, not having more than tilfUfty
live days to run, such 'loans to ho paid on or be
fore the 15lh of July next, with interest at the
rate ol live per cent per annum, and to be for
sums not less than X 2,000 each.
Bank rtf England, June Ist, 1837.”
The circulation of this notice gave evident
satisfaction to the merchants of tho city, some
idea having been entertained that the directors of
the Bank of England, from the delicate position
in which they now stand, would hiivc lessened
the accommodation they usually give to Ihc mer
cantile world while Ihc transfer books remained
closed. It will be observed that the words “and
other approved securities,” usually inserted after
bills of exchange are omitted.
“Thu meeting of the court of directors of the
Bank of England broke up about eight o’clock,
and it is asserted that they have come to Ihc de
termination not to renew the accommodation to
the American houses, unless with additional se
curities.
“The funds have been heavy to-day, money hav
ing been more in demand. There has been a
plentiful supply of stock in the market, as the
ransfer book for Consols, the three and a halfprr
cents and other securities, are about to close,
preparatory to the payment of the dividends.—
Consols for account fell to 91j but recovered af
terward to 91 i. In money, sales wore made as
low as OOJ, but the latest prices were The
new three and a half per certla have (alien to
98j||j! ami hank s ock from 306 to 303, hut rallied
again to 304 jin (ho afternoon. The premium
on exchequer bills and India bonds was lower
to-day, the former having been quoted at 33, and
the latter at 34. India stock, after declining to
259 j, closed at 360.
“Spanish Bonds have been heavy to-day at
33, Ihc agent of that government having notified
his inability to pay the interest due on the No
vember Cotlpons this day. These Coupons fell
to 46 in the morning, but afterword ro-e to 48.
The five per cent. Portuguese Bends, the inter
est on which was duly paid to-day, were done at
44 without the dividend, and the three per cents
at SBj. The Northern Bonds maintained their
value to-day, hut Chilian stock fell to 29 in the
morning, beings reduction of 10 per cent on
Tuesday’s prices, caused by M. Rosales having
failed in his plan to pay the arrears of interest.
The United States Bank Bonds have been done
i at 94, and Morris Canal Shares at97J 98.”
A letter dated Liverpool Juno 3, says :—The
news from London last night Was, that the bank
had declined rendering any farther aid to the
London houses, and it is said that T. Wilson &
Co. of London have already slopped.
[Wc are assured that this news of the suspen
| sion of Wilson & Co. can scarcely be true. The
< agent here has no such advices.]
The Dettnictivet have carried the election of
1 Mr. Dennistoun, for Ulasgow. They were in
[ great spirits, considering this victory as a set-off’
to their late defeat in Westminster/ Mr. Dennis

The Bank Directors met again this morning, but
it soon became evident by aigns of uneasiness

arise up to the Ist ol August next. One ol these j
houses, however, had so far miscalculated their [
liabilities, as to find it necessary to apply tor lur-1
lher assistance to carry them on safely to the pc- j
riod above named. They also requested to have I
the term of repayment < anted on from the lat ol (
August to the 31st of December. The other two
houses, on le iruing what was going on, requested :
to he placed in a similar situation of security, and I
these applications were on the point, as it is sard,
of being agreed to, when the letters of the Blb
of May, by the Roscoe packet arrived, and the
Bank Directors, alarmed at the extraordinary
slate of -dings which then presented itself, sus
pended their determination, am! requested
lime to examine these accounts and ascertain
what effect they were likely to have upon the hou
ses they had taken under their protection. 1 his
has produced the awful slate rs! suspense which
has existed since Thursday morning up to this
afternoon, and it is believed that the discus
sions in the Bank parlor have been during
that time of the most agitated and contra
dictory chcracidr. To perplex the decision ol the
Directors still more, some ot tHe parties who had
I c -orne sureties to the Bank for a portion of the
advances made to the houses it) question up to
the Ist of August refused to continue that guar
antee for a longer period, and expressed a wish to
withdraw altogether. Amidst this division ol
: opinion the propositions taken tnto consideration
i in the Bank parlor are said to bo these;
1. That the lull assistance required should be
, granted, and all the three bouses be carried over
to the 31st of December, 3. That they should
have and extension of one month only i. e., till
the Ist of Septciuper ; and 3, that they shoal i be
I called upon for the absolute fulfilment of the cu
-1 gagcmenls entered into with flic Bank for the
; Ist of August. The directors, after some discus
sion this .morning upon these points, broke up
without coming to any conclusion, and a depula
f tion of them proceeded to the Treasury, for the
- purpose of requesting advice or assistance, or
1 both, from Mr. Spring Rice. This at least is the
• current statement in the city. What reception
> they have met with, though it is not difficult to
guess its nature, has not transpired, nor is it
f known to what purport their subsequent delibere.
i lions have arrived. The belief is that an exter.
f sion of the accommodation for the shorter period
. that is rill the Ist of September, has been agreed
- to. The packet about to sail from Liverpool ti
a New York has been detained, awaiting the result
s wliicb will most likely be sent off’ by to-nights’i

0 anualsof commerce a more anxious andeventfu
. period than the present.
1 The letter from Liverpool mentions that thi
i accounts from the United Stales brought by th.

a large supply and relatively small oonsamplion,

*" Departed this life, suddenly, on Wednesday,
i the sth Inst., in Barnwell District, S. C., in the
, 36th year of her age, Mrs. Mabt C. Newman,
ln wife of Stephen Newman, Esq., leaving three
young children, an aged mother, an only sister,
with other near and dear connexions,many friends,
and attached domestics, to deplore their curly and
|n irreparable loss. In few were blended more con
ill spicuously the character of s n aficclionate wife,
en tender parent, dutiful child, kind sister, sincere
, n friend, and indulgent mistress, than her whose
m death we now lament. She died as she lived—a
‘ Christian; and her exit was truly and • npliallcally
cs a happy and a glorious one—“esteeming it fur
belter to be absent from thp body, to be present
with the Lord.” She was; about eight years since
j. united to the Union Baptist Church, near the
0 1 upper Three Runs, in Barnwell, and in which
Ij faith she departed. Her surviving friends have
0 the consolation ol feeling assured that she has
)( exchanged a world of trouble and of woe, for one
’ of everlasting bliss. Her remains, with those ol
0 f her little infant, were deposited in one grave, at
dj tended by several of her neighbors, whoso tears,
lj e - shed on that Occasion, bore ample testimony ol
j n the value in which she Was held, and the heart
|)( felt sorrow with which they were called on to pay
this last sad tribute of respect to departed worth.

to adduce one ol the cases which came under the

severe stroke of paralysis, by which he lost theen
