Next morning Sir Meredith Appleby was

Ilia pretty Julia was presiding over'be tea
and coffin- at the other end ol (lie table, imme
diately opposite her papa, with the Isrgc
long eared spaniel ei'tmg beside her, and ov
er ami anon looking Wistfully into her face,
when a servant brought in uno (i'll* silver
trsy, a letter to Sir Mcred lb. Tbs old gen
tleman read aloud, it was Irom the elder Filz
sNreuce; »My dear friend, Alfred arrived last
night, lie and ( will dint wuh you to day.—
Voiir's, FiU'latcnce.* Julia’s cheeks grew
first as white as her brow, and then us red a*
hnr lips. As soon at breakfast was over, she
.etired to her own apartment, whither we
must for once, take the liberty ol following
bar.
She sat herself down before her mirror, and
deliberately look irom her hair a very (ante
ful little knot of lid l' iou» flowers, which she
had taste i*d in it when she lose. One natur
ally expected that she was about to replace
this ornament with something more splendid
—a fewi-wels, perhaps; but sue was not go
ing to do any soeli thing. Slw rang Ilia bell;
her p.rvifi lential servant, Alice, answered the
commons.
L»t ma'am,’said she, 'what is the mallei!
Von look as ill as my aunt Bridget.’
‘Von have heard m<- talk of Allrod Fitxola

languidly, srd at the same tune slightly blush

Hut he has been so Jong away; and Harry

‘To be sure, m i’.nu, you final tho best right I
to choose for yourself; and so Fitcclsrenca |

his swords and guns.’
•O'. Aice, you fngtilen me to death. Them

‘Were I to refuse him, you may depend up.
on it lie would put an end to his existence
with five loaded pistols. Only think ol that,
Alice! what could 1 s»y for myself, were lus

H'story‘does not report what Alice said
her mistress might, under such circumstances
sty lor herself; but it is certain Out they re
mained talking together till the third dinner
bell rang.
Tne FiizcUrenca** ware hell, true to their
engagement*, but notwithstanding every cx
erimn on the part of two old gentlemen they
could not exactly bring about that ‘flow ol

the young people. At length alter the cloth

Tbs comnitieo on Banks in the Legislature of
Ibis Slate, in their report upon the linuiaiice
Bank of Columbus, charges upon that Bank css
violation of its charter, the circulation of the bills
ofihe old United Slates Bank,and says,
•■These bills must have liertt furnished by the
existing Bank of the United Slates, from bills
which have been redeemed slid sr* now irrecove
rable in law. To pul this currency afloat, which
the bank cannot by Ugal process be compelled
to redeem, is of itself, in the opinion of your com
mittee, such an abuse of its franchise as involves
s forfeiture of its charier. It Is at the pleasure of
ibis bank or toy other to redeem these bills."
'The report then concludes with s resolution
instructing the Governor to cause a icire facial
to be issued for the purpose of declaring the char
ter of that Bank forfeited on three grounds, of
which tho latter is in the following words :
••Because the said Insurance Bank of Colum
bus, has putin simulation hills of lh« old bank
ofihe United Stales, which had been redeemed,
sud were on hand, since Ibe expiration ut its
charier.’’
The charge then is, that the Insurance Bunk
has put old bills ofihe U. 8. Bank in circulation
having been furnished with them by the United
States Bank of Pennsylvania, after they had
been once redeemed. This is partly true and part
ly (also. These bills, it is true, are circulated by
j each of these Bunks, but it it nut true that they
have ever been redeemed- They are circulated,
that ia, they are received and paid out by every I
Bank in Ibe country, and every Bank which has
received and circulated one, i* just as culpable, i
and guilty of the same offence, to the same extent!
j a» the Insurance Bank, or the new United Slates j
; Bank.
In order to explain this mailer clearly and in
-1 telligibly, it will be necessary to be a little mi j
I mile, and we request the stiicl attention of the
j trailer to facts and distinctions, and we shall not :
i fail to show him that the Committee on Banks,
or whoever dratted the report, was totally uniu- j
formed upon the subject.
The old United States Bank was chartered by j
Congress, and expited in 183li; m the fall of
1835, the Legislature of Pennsylvania, granted i
to the Stockholders in (lie old Bank of the U. 8.,
a Slate Charier, excluding the Government
from participation. The chiller by tire State
thus created a new, federate, and distinct initi• j
liltion. By the Charter of (lie old Bank «f U. I
S., it was allowed three years alter its expiration, |
to wind up its affairs. Upon (hr organisation of
the new Bank, Mr. Biddle resigned the P-esi
Jenry of the old one, ond was elected to (he J’rc
sidency ol Ibe new —Mr. Uevsn.of Philadelphia,,
was clcclcd in his elcad to the Presidency of the
old Bank. The reader will keep (he distinction !
in Ilia mind—here are two distinct institutions,
tho old U. 8. Bank, ami the U. 8. Bank of Penn.. !
each with its appropriate President sud separate j
Board of Directors, the former winding up its
slfsira, and the latter just commencing business.
At the expiration of ita charter, the old Bank bad '
in circulation, an immense amount of iia bills
in the hands of other banka, brokers, merchants. I
■uJ oilier cilitens Hi every quarter of the country, j
Alter the expiration of the charter, they sltU con- i
tinned to it valuable for circulation—tliey were ■
received at tire counters of banks; and by ibrin
again circulated —and being more valuable than .
| ' oilier bank notes, they were not hastened bsck
Ito their source of is»ue for redemption. The 1
I new Bank then, had ss good and period a light
r ! to receive these lulls at its counter and again pul
I them in circulation, ss any other bank in the
■ Union. It is the duty of the directors of the old
,! Bonk, ol whom Mr. Bevsn is Pr*»idt in,u> redeem
these notes, snd ns ’.ties ir deemed Ay them, 1
1 I
••have ever been put agttn Tuio circulation I — j
This bustd of Directors, it is understood, have j
mad* ss arrangement with tho new Bank to re
deem si stated periods, a certain amount of the-e
old notes until all sr* redeemed; and it is under
i ue obligation to redeem any more within those
periods than it contracted lo do. If then at the
| return of each staled pcriod.it redeems dc cancels
1 ibe amount of those notes which It bad bargain
ed to do, it lias a right to circulate any of these
, bills over and above that amount which it may
| have on band. The bills of tho old einisson of
the dh) Bank, are not therefore absolutely redee
med when received at the counter of tho new
Bank, any more than when received by tho Au
gusta Bank or tlio Central Bank, or any other
j bank in lha Union.
| The report complains (bat the Insurance Bank
, of Columbus bus put these old notes in circula*
j lion, end is not bound to redeem them, and that
‘ therefore it is a violation of its charter! Most etr
■ lightened idea ! The author mast be wiser than
! even a second Daniel come lo judgement’ ! Has
not every Bank in the Slate, including that very
tjiollett institution oer which Dr Porl presides
received and circulated these notes! And do
they all violate their charters by doing so! Speak
tlioti fountain of wisdom ! Kqually sapient is I lie
j j,|i-a that these notes arc “irrecoverable in law”!
If this be trne, people must bo prodigious fools
not only to receive them, but actually to pay a
premium for them ! “Irrecoverable in law” in
deed ! and. yol, more valuable than the bills of
any Bank in the Slate ! This is about as bright
as Gen. Jackson’s idea that the U. 8. Bank was
broke, amt that lbs Government would lose its
seven millions of slock ; instead of which the
new Bank has actudly purchased that stock,
paying Sll3 per share to the Government, for
jilOO paid in ! ! We wonder what will be the

WASHINGTON, One. 13th. 1837.
There was more agitation and excitement in
the Mouse today than on ally occasion tint has
arisen during the present session.
Mr. Adams’ motion to refer the petitions pray
ing that Texas may not lie annexed to lha Union,
fame up in. order, ond that gentleman made a
long and elaborate speech in support of hi* mo'
lion. H* declared his belief that the annexation
of a foreign nation lo the Union would operate
as a dissolution of the Union. He pronounced
'Texas to bn a nation “damned lo everlasting
fame,” by tho reestablishment of slavery a tier it
had linen abolished by tho laws of Mexico. In
(tie course of his argument against the reference
lo the Committee on Foreign Affairs, he dwelt
upon the fact that six out of the n no members
of that Committee were si.xvr. iioliikiis; and be
| contended strenuously that those mentJicrß were
on that account committed on Ibe question which
was proposed lo bo retimed to them for consider
j alien. He spoke in a most vehement manner;
and bis comments on the morality ol slavery were
| of so exciting a character, that Mr. Lcgare of 8.
C. called him to order, and earnestly entreated
him to postpone any discussion of the kind upon
! which he bud entered. Groat excitement pre-
I veiled; hut as Mr. Adams had proceeded so far
! ami spoken so freely on the interests of the
i Boallj, there was a very general disposition
among the Southern members to let him go on.
The call lo order was therefore followed by loud
| erics of “go on!" “proceed!" from different parts
of die House; but especially from the Southern
' members.
Mr. Adams then proceeded in an equally vehc.
incut manner, using rbc most impasi juried lan
guage on the subject ofihe freedom of discussion,
' In the course of his remarks he referred ta the
fate of I.ovcjoy, and the affair at Alton—when he
was immediately and premptotily culled to Old er
by tho Sjwaker.
Mr. Rhclt of S. C,, expressed the hope that
* Mr. Adams would lie allowed to proceed, as it was
impossible »(Vr what had fallsit from him, ths,
| Sou,hern men could submit to such language
without reply. Hr, Snyder of Illinois, said that
! unless he should lie permitted lo reply to the re
; mark* of Mr. Adams, he would insist on that
gentleman taking his scat. Mr. Dawson of Ga.,
endeavored lo he heard on the question, hut the
< Chair interposed and rut off the discussion. Mr.
Adams was afterwards allowed to go on, having
] promlaed lo keep within the rule of order. He
| concluded by urging the adoption of his motion
I for a Select Committee.
' Mr. Wise then moved to lay on the table that
motion of reference, and all the petitions on the
subject. Mr. Khett of 8. C., and Mr, Dawson
ol Ga., both appealed to Mr. Wise to withdraw
hi* motion, to allow them to make some remark*
on the question that had been brought in by Mr.
Atlanta. Mr. Wise -aid be would assent if he
could indulge his courtesy without thehaatrd es
producing more excitement; but as that could rut
be. lie insisted on Ins motion. 'The question was |

The Colonization Society held their annual
Meeting in the Hall of the House of Representa
tives last evening, and was numerously attended,
Hon, Henry Clay, of Ky., look the chair at 7
o’clock, and made a Tew introductory remarks.
The necting was afterwards addressed by several
gentlemen, and did not separate till nearly ten
o’clock. M.
I ought to have mentioned yesterday that Mr.
Culhbertof Oa., appeared in the Senate and took
his seat, thus putting to rest the rumors in circa*
htlion of his having resigned.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Id, 1837.
Mr. Preston of S. C. appeared in the Senate
to day and look his seat. The distinguished Se
nator was cordially welcomed by hia numerous
friends and acquaintances, who crowded around
him, offering their congratulations on his narrow
escape from serious injury by the late dreadful
accident on the Portsmouth and Roanoke Rail
Road. He seemed to be in fair health ami spir
its.
Mr. Rives of Va. garo notice that he would
to morrow ask leave to introduce a Bill for the
heller regulation of Navy Rations,
Mr. Davis of Mass, presented a memorial from
an intlividual who has made an important inven
tion for the improvement of steam boilers, asking
an appropriation to enable him fairly to test the
invention. It was referred to the Committee on
Patents.
Mr. Clay of Alabama, presented sundry peti
tions praying for the erection of a Marine Hospi
tal at Mobile. This establishment has been strong
ly recommended by the Secretary of War. Ilia
report and the petitions were referred to the
Committee on Commerce.
Mr. Grundy's Hill far the amendment of the
several acts relating to the judicial system of the
United Slates, was taken up, read twice, and or
dered to he printed.
Mr, Allen of Ohio, ofierred a long string of
joint resolutions, proposing sundry amendments
to the Constitution of the United Stales, in re
gard to the election of President and Vice Presi*
dent. The resolutions were ordered to lie printed
and referred to a select committee of nine ; and
the President of the Senate was requested, by con
sent, to appoint the Commi lice.
The bill for the remission of duties on goods
destroyed by the great fire in New York in 1835,
was nett taken up, and read a third lime, and
the question being on the final passage, Mr,
Roane of Virginia, remarked that he had not been
aide to eiarnine it; and at hia request the fur
ther consideration was postponed till to-morrow.
Tha bill authorizing a drawback on imported
Hemp, waa next taken up ; but after tome can
eeraatiun, it waa laid aside till to-morrow.
The remainder of the sitting waa occupied with
private businesa, and the Senate adjourned till
Monday. The House took up the hill of Mr,
Davis, authorising the President of the United
States to cause the public vessels lu cruize on the
coast during the winter season, and f urnish relief
to distressed navigators ; and finally passed it—so
that nothing is now required, except the approral
of the President in order to convert it into a law
of the land.
The Speaker then proceeded to call for the
presentation of memorials and petitions—-nothing
worthy of particular notice occurred.

TEN DAYS EATER FROM FRANCE.
Since the above was in type, we have received
our files by the Burgundy, bringing advices from
Parts down to the 4th ol November.
The Monilcur of Oct. 35, slates that the king
hud ordered the remains of Gen. Damremont to
be interred at tha Involutes, w here a solemn fu
neral service would bo performed in honor of his
memory, and of those who fell with him in the
assault of Constatlllna. The general has left a
widow and three children.
The despatch of Gen. Vallee, who assumed
the command on the death of Gen. Damremont,
was received in Paris, on the 35th of October.
From this it appears that the assault was delayed
by a furious storm from the Oth to the Kbit, on
which day the firing commenced in part. On
the llth, the batteries were fully opened, and a
breach was effected that same evening, although
not made practicable till the 12th. The town
was summoned to surrender on the llth, and ,
the demand being refused, the order for the as- i
sault was given on the morning of the 13lh. It 1
was resisted with the utmost obstinacy, from { !
street to street, and from house to house, Gen. '
Vallee slates in his letter to the president of the
council, that the assault was one of the most re. i
markable of which ho had ever been witness, in 1
his long course of military service. But few of ]
the inhabitants remained in the city, which was j .
but moderately pillaged by the victorious troops. | :
It was found amply stored with grain and oth
er provisions for a long siege. The bey had fled,
with the remains of his forces, to a point several
days journey from Conslantina.
The Kelaireur of Ton lan slates that Constan
tino was defended by [BOOO Kabyles and 2000
Turks. The {wounded were expected to arrive
at Bona about the 25th ol October, whence they
would proceed in four transports for Franco.
Prepataliona were made at Marseilles for 600,
at Tolan for 300, and at St. Mandlier for 600.

The French soldiers found a rich booty in the
pillage of Constantine, hut the treasures of the

however, cor.taming about 150 women, who were
very politely treated by the victors. The garri

men.

I Sales of cotton at Liverpool bad been large, s
an advance of l-8d to 3-8 d per lb.
The London packet Mediator, which sailct
I from New York Oct. 2d, arrived on the 25th
■ She carried SBO,OOO in specie, and tbe eomrncr
cial accounts carried by her w ere considered favo
' ruble.
There was some discussion in some of the
. papers on the prospects of the suspended Ameri-
I can houses. A statement was published in tbt
, Times, relative to the house of T. Wiggin &Co
so erroneous that they deemed it necessary tc
publish a reply, dated Oct. 26lli,from which wt
publish the lollowing extract;
■ The whole of our liabilities when we suspended
. payment, amounted to i 11,126,846 as reported a
the meeting of our creditors, and it was about the
usual amount at the same season of the year.
Under £40,000 was for money in our hands, and
the remainder was (or advances made on mer
chandise exported from England, China, India,
and elsewhcie, to the United States, and chief
ly from England, China and India. No part of
it was on ourown_account,'nor have wo owned
any merchandise whatever since we commenced
business; consequently,the bills accepted by us
were for account of others, who owed, and still
owe, so far as they remain unpaid.
Your correspondent’s statement that 2s 6d in
the pound would never be paid on our liabilities,
was erroneous, for remittances have already come
forward to the extent of near £400.006, or over
0s 8d in the pound on the whole amount, spe
cially appropriated by the remitters to discharge
their own liabilities ; and wo know preparations
were making in America, at our last dates, to pro
vide means for the early payment of a large addi
tional amount. We consider it important to all
parties inteicsted, that our liabilities should be
reduced as much as possible, within a reasonable
time, before we pay a dividend, as the amount
per cent., will be increased in proportion to the
amount so reduced.
At the meeting of our creditors on the 12th of
June last, we represented that our surplus capital
exceeded £425,000. NYe have now made up
out accounts, which show a surplus considerably
laiger, and our late advices scive to confirm our
belief that wo shall realise sufficient to pay every
one in full, and a very considerable surplus for
ourselves.
Wo have the honor to remain, sir;
Your obedient servants,
T. Wioois & Co-.
Lo.vno.V) Nov. 3.—Money continues to be ve«
ry plentiful with the bunkers and bill brokers ;
the transactions between these two descriptions
of money agents having lately been regulated at
about 3 percent, on guaranteed securities. The
state of the cotton market, to which we referred
yesterday, and in which the disposition for
speculation is on the increase, is beginning to
excite a considerable degree of interest, not only
in Onr commercial, but our monetary circles; at
Liverpool, yesterday, the sales of cotton are re
ported to have amounted to 10,000 bales, at a
further advance of $ of a penney per pound, upon
/he previous prices.
It Ihcrclore naturally has become a question
whether this disposition for specnla'ion in that
particular description of raw material has been
founded upon solid principals, at the time when it
ia known that oUr manufactures of fabrics, in
which cotton formes the chief article, are com
plaining, with truth, of the declining prices of
manufactured goods. Considering the length of
time which must elapse before our trade in mam -
(uctures with) the United Stales ran be fully re
vived, and the present contrast in the market val
ue ol the manufactured goods and the raw materi
al, (he existing speculations are not likely to be
viewed without jealousy, the more particularly af
ter the late transactions in the American trade,
with the monopolists and monetary powers that
be

The elections which are about to take place for mom
bcis of the Chamber of Deputies, have occupied the at
tention of every one dtirin the past week, and conse
quently little business has been done; th? few sales in
cotton that have taken place, although they present
some slight v,,nation from the prices of lust week.do not
change the position of our market; the last advices from
Liverpool announce m re firmness in the prices there.
During the month of October, we have received 0374
bait s of Cotton of ail descriptions, and have sold during
tin same period 15,4(10 bales; our stock has then.fore di
minished 9«00 hales since last month. The following
