A HcrtamtT.'—Italian paijerr. state that an or
ganized being has been, found in Africa which
seems to form a link in the chain between the
animal and vegetable kingdoms- This singular
beiug has tlie form of a spotted serpeut. It creeps
aloug the ground and in lieu of n head, it has a
flower formed like a small bell which contains a
slimy liquid. Flies and otlier insects attracted
by tho sweet taste of this liquid, euter the flower
and are retained there by its glutinous nature.
The flower then closes and remains closed until
the prisoners are crushed and transformed into
chyle. _ The indigestible parts, such ns the head
uud wings, are rejected hy two inferior openings
with spiral windings. The skin of this serpent-
plant, resembles leaves, the flesh is white and
tender. The inhabitants of the country eat it,
and consider it a great delicacy.—,V. Y. Courier,
Chimnko on fire.—Tho prefect of police of
I’ari3 has directed that n quantity of flour of sul
phur should he constantly kept ot tho watchhouse
of tlw firemen iu that metropolis, and at the pla
ces of residence of the Police Offices. Flour of
sulphur, as has been demonstrated in theory and
as experience 1ms -howii, will effectually put out
a tiro in the chimney. It is only necessary to
burn a small quantity on the hearth of tho fire
place, the chimney of which is on fire. The sul-
phur combining with the oxigea of the air, fills
the chimney with sulphuric acid gas, which stops
almost immediately the combustion of carbon,
the basis of soot. At the first view, it appears
storage that by increasing one fire, another is ex
tinguished, hut the means alluded to are ns power
ful as simple. It is almost superfluous to observe
that flour of sulhpur can only be successfully used
to put out it lire iu a chimuey, and that in case of
other fires, it would be not only useless but dan
gerous.— it.
ANOTHER"?IKE KING.
Wo advise .Mons. Ciiauhert, if he has any re
gard for his professional reputation, to avoid
admitting the lawyers to his exhibition. Being a
stranger among us, he may not be aware tnat
they are considered n match for him. On Thurs
day evening, after heating a shovel rod hot, he
requested any of the spectators that wished, to
>ut out their tongues, and he would apply it. J.
I. Patten, Esq. walked up to tho stage, aud
Mous. C. deliberately rubbed the heated metal
over his tougue two or three times, wbicu Mr.
P. bore with the fortitude of a martyr, lie then
allowed Mons. C. to pass the shovel over his
fnce, eyes, and hair.
Mons. C. then proceeded to heat a vessel of
oil, aud when it was heated to 450, put his fin-
;er3 into it: and Mr. Patten, lawyer-like, put
tis fingers in too.—Mons. C. then took a spoon
ful of the oil; Mr. P. also requested his dose of
which was given him.
A vessel of rod hot lead was then produced.
Mons. C. after taking a portion of it in his fin
gers, and then putting it m his meuth, presented
tho vessel to Mr. P. who did tho same. Mr. P.
then ollcredto take the Phosphorus or Prussic
Acid, if Mons. C. would let him; hut lie declined
for fear lie would discover his antidote.
Mons. C. then retired to prepare himself for
the oven, and returned, covered with cloaks and
flannels. After preparing tho steak he placed it
at the door of the oveu, which was immediately
opened, and the lurid and glaring appearance of
iu atmosphere threatened instant death to any
living thing that should dare to encounter it. Mr.
P. however stopped Mous. C. and requested to
he allowed to accompany him. Mons. C. tie
clined, but told him he migh’. walk in if lie pitta
td, Mr. I’, ccolly walkeit in, aud seated him
self on th'i iron chair in die bark part of the oven:
but as he had not prepared himself with wrap
pers, he staid but about one minute. Thu door
was shut, and the thermometer stood at 050
He describes the sensation as being that of a burn
ing heat upon the face for the first moment; after
that, the perspiration started, and it was com-
p.iratively comfrotabtc.

TO THE PUBLIC.
Tho time has arrived xvhen it bocomc, proper
for me to say something in regard to that part of
Mr. Crawford's late publication which relates to
myself. 1 happened to be at tho house of Mr. A.
Balcb, near Nashville, in tho winter of 1827 and
1828, when a good deal of conversation took [dace
betsveen him nnd myself in relation to tho ap
proaching Presidential elcctii>n. Ouo day during
our convcmtion/Mr. Balcb took from the draw
er of his side-board tho letter from Mr. Crawford
to him, and which has heretofore appeared with
the correspondence betsveen tbc President and
Vice President. After ho had finished reading
tlie letter, bo handed it to me for my perusal; and
when I bad gunc through it, I observed to him,
that I did not believe that Mr. Crawford's state
ments were correct, aud that, if 1 did, I sveuld at
onco abandon Mr- Calhoun. I niso observed to
Mr. Balcb. that 1 would lie glad that Mr. Calhoun
couldseffa eopy of tho letter, as 1 had a wish to
hear what he would say upon the subject. Tho
reply imd conversation of Mr. Batch left tho ira-
>ression on my mind, aud tho minds ol tho mem-
>ers of his family, (svith whom I have lately con
versed upon the subject,) that he had act the least
ejection to Mr. Calhoun, or any other person,
seeing the lettor; for Mr. Crasvford had given
him a license “to make sut-h use of it ns Its thought
proper, aud to show itto whom he pleased.” Of
thisjiccnse Mr. Batch made free use, as it was
perused by several persons, aud copies of it fur
nished to others, svitose names it is unnecessary
to tnentiou. When I took a copy of the letter, i’t
was iu tho presenco of Mr. Balch's family, who
were sitting near me. I transmitted it to Mr.
Lumpkin, at the city of Washington, with a re
quest that ho svould hand it to .Mr. Calhoun. Ac
cording to my request, Mr. Lumpkin submitted it
to the perusal of .Mr. Calhoun, and austvered my
xvhich svas the Convention Bill, in committee of
tlie whole, Mr. Potctll in the chair—which, after
long and animated discussion, was passed—Teas

REPORT
Of the Committee on Banks—On the subject of'
Ttcharlering the Bank of the United States.
The committee on Banks to whom was refer
red the resolution directing them to inquire int»
tho expediency nf instructing the Senators nui
requesting tho Representatives of Georgia in
Congress, to oppose a renewal of tho charter of
the Bank of the United States, respectfully submit
llie following report:
Your committee will not at this time, attempt
an investigation of tho constitutional power of
Congress, to charter the Bank of tho United
States: That questiou has been already raised,
and elaborately discussed. Neither admitting
nor dcuying its constitutionality, they propore
to treat the question, exclusively as ono of expe
diency, believing this to bo the dure devolving on
them by tho resolution referred. That a monied
instituuon having extensive resources, numerous
branches and an intimate connexion with the
general government may, and does excreise nsen-
siblo influcueo over the commercial aud political
relations of our confederacy, cannot bo question
ed—That it is dangerous to give such influcuce
to a corporate body consisting of a few individu
als, not belonging to any co-ordinato branch of !
tho Government,, and therefore irresponsible to
the people of tho several States constituting the
Union, is equally clear. Such au institution the
Baukof the United States is believed to be. Not!
ono who has ever compared its capital stock with
that of other Banks, will doubt that its resources
are vast. It is a fact of general notoriety, that
its branches arc now more numerous than the
states of this confederacy, and may, and proba
bly will, yet ho increased in number. Tho inter
est which tho General Government has in it a9 a
stockholder, and the consequent posver of ap-
poiuting a given number of directors, prove their
j intimate conneetiou. It may not be improper
that or an v former period, which reply 1 read to! however, to advert especially to some of tho tm-
letter by saying, that tho Vice President disas't
o.l any kind of hostility to General Jackson,
Mr. ri.dch. My principle object iu sending on
the letter svas, to prevent a cbistn from taking
place between tsvo persons, the cue of xvhotn 1
wished to be Presidvut at tho next election, aud
the otlier to succeed him at tho proper time. I
had not tb; least expectation that the letter svould
over »»e published; and as soon as I entertained
f ars of it, I wrote to Wadfingtou to preveut it,
but my lettor arrived too late. I had no. right
and I had no wish, hy the publication of the lot
to, to injure Mr. Batch iu tho estimation of Mr.
Van Huron or Mr. Crasvford, svith both of whom,
as 1 understood from himself, he svas in the ha
bit of corresponding; svith the former upon poli
tics generally, and w ith the latter chiefly on busi
ness, as he had (and 1 believe yet has) a protract
ed law suit against tho executors of Dr, Ilay, iu
the Circuit Court of Wilkes county, where Judge
Crawford presides.
This is tvhat 1 have to say about tits purloin 'd
letter, conetruiug tho perusal of which, by Mr.
Calhoun or any otlier person, Mr. Crawford ex
presses so much iudifl'crcncc, Thu expressions
of .Air. Crasvford about tuy apostacy, or making
a political qomersot, enmo with a had grace, when
sve consider tho exhibitions ho himself has made.
Ho appears to have taken up an idea that, when
ever a person ceases to admire him, supports bis
opponents, and does these littlo things alter ho is
thirty scars old, that bis conduct may be attribut
ed to i’inpropor and dishonest views. If tho poli
tical consistency of men is to be determined by
these marks, hotv fesv could stand the trial, and
upon svliat tottering ground svould Mr. Crasvford
rest! My politics arc the same uosv a3 they xvere
tvhea 1 first became nequaiuted svith Mr. Craw
ford, and 1 never wish them to be otherwise, as
long as our present excellent (but badly interpre-
t:<l) Constitution exists. Thov are of the Vir
ginia school, and such, in my belief, as arc pro-
fessediy held by both cf tho local contending par-
The moral from nil this is, that tho feats of tics in Georgia, with a fesv slight exceptions. It
Mons. C. arc real. They are practical illustra- is true that at one time I admired Mr. Craw ford;
ttons of some of the most beautiful theories in
chemistry; a science in which Mr. P. is an adept,
both theoretically aud practically. Bu^ enough
for the present. Perhaps we shall bavo some
thing more to say ou another occasiou.—-V. F.

of Edinburgh, nnd especially the one relative to
latent heat. The explanation of the matter given
by Mr. P. is founded upon that theory, and ap-
tears to us both rational aud ingenious. It is this
t is impossible for any fluid besides mercury, to
transmit heat through itself except by nn inter
change of particles; and in all sued cases the heat
ed particles rise, according to tho principles of
gravitation. If you apply a red hot iron to the
surfaco of a fluid, you may evaporate it very fast,
hut you cannot heat it. Fluids are perfect non
conductors of heat, A living human being may
be considered as a vessel filled svith fluid tvhich it
constantly exuding through every part of tbc sur
face, svhich surface is replenished from the interior
reservoir as fast as it is evaporated. Take first
the experiment of the boiliug oil. Tito oil is heat
ed to four or five hundred degrees of Fahrenheit.
The Huger is theu dipped into the vessel, aud the
heat is otnployed in converting the perspiration
upon it into vapor: tho evaporation is coustautly
supplied from the vessels within, aud the fingers
cannot burn until one of two things .takes place;
cither the oil must ho so hot us to evaporate the
porspiration fa-tor thau item be supplied, or the
Huger mu-t rom da in the ml ioug enough to ex
haust its perspiration. This is the reason why it
is necessary to perform the experiment so quickly.
It is the same w.th melted lead. Tho putting it
on th- tongue is a more parade; for the small
qanuiity us. a up between the fingers is cooled bo
lero it gets to the tongue.
Entering the oven is dependant on the same
principle. The moment you enter tho oven, the
boat is employed in convertiug the perspiration
over the whole body into vapor, which it as con
stantly supplied from vvituin. The great heat
certainly renders tlm quantity of perspiration ye-
K mcomfortablo, but it is this alone upon which
safety of tho individual depends. Tito heat
can no more penetrate tha body through tho per
spiration, than a sword could penetrate through a
coat of mail. Should ho remain until perspira
tion ceased, or should the oven he so uut as to
dry tho perspiration faster titan it could ho sup
plied, diafA would be inevitable, A dead body,
like tho steak having no power of supplying n
fluid to tho surfaco as fast as it is evaporated, is
moit penetrated by tbe heat. And so the living
body would bo, if it were not for this power. The
flauuelxin which Mous. C. is wrapped, are only
useful iu keeping tho heat from coming too sud
denly in contact with his body.—Ih.

states, that cn tho very thy preparation* were i The house procccdod to tb$ order of tto day,
proper influences, that may ho anticipated frotjt
an indiscreet or corrupt exoreiso of powers resid
ing iu that institution. Your committco nre of
opinion that this Bank may at pleasure material
ly injure the currency of the several States. Its
directors being empowered by tlte charter to es
tablish as many branches in any of the States, ns
may he deemed expedient, with or without their
cousent, have availed themselves of this privilcfO,
by establishing offices of discount and dopusitm
all of the commercial cities of the Union. Each
olfico or branch, comes with very decided advan
tage into immediate competition w th tho fe ta a
Banks by which it fa surrounded. Thfaadvan,
tago results chiefly from three causes: 1st. Its
capability of affording greater facilities for ix*-
change: 2d. Tho more extensive circulation of
its bills. 3d. Its agency in collecting the reven
ue of tho General Government. First: Etch
briutch being nearly related to, and fully accredit
ed by every otlier membor of the same family,
can readily supply drafts ou any city in the Unit
ed States. For purposes ol oxchmtge, therefore,
merchants will more probably have resource fo
them, than to any of their own State institutions,
whose bills are nevertheless, most invariably paid
for the drafts so purchased: AU the bills of other
banks thus received, are of course withdrawn
from circulation and kept in reserve to be present
ed for redemption whenever convenience or cap
rice may direct. Aud although by courtesy a
transfer of foreign funds is sometimes accepted iu
payment, yet it is pcifectly-compotent for the oeo
oauk to demaud specie payment, and obligatory
on the other to make it. It fa vary oasy to con
ceive the oppression to which State banks, may
be thus subjected, and if your committee do not
greatly err, many of them could sustain this view
of the subject by reference to their own experi
ence. The argument may be enforced by sup-
posiug a case of no unusual occurrence in com
mercial transactions. A Savannah men haul
wishing to remit money iu payment of a debt tv
New York, has his note for tcu thousand dollars
discounted iu the bank of thu Stato of Georgia—
with the funds thus provided, ho purchases from -
the branch hank of the United States at Savan
nah, a check on tho brunch in New York which
fully answers his purpose. Within ono tvisek af
terwards the bills with which his draft wnanur-d
chased, arc presented by tlte branch bank oliift-
United States to the bunk issuing them, and spe
cie demanded in payment. Thus before tho note,-
discounted by the latter fur the accommodation
of tho Savanuah merchant, becomes due, she will
have paid out for it, uot her own bills but gold
and silver coin, Sho will have been forced to
disburse com upon tbe faith of which, perhaps,
three times its amount of paper mousy was issued,
by the unexpected and premature return of bills, ■
which havo not been thrico counted eiuce thojr
departure. 2d There fa a groat advantage* to
those branches, from tho extonsivo circulation of,
their bills. An example will illustrate tbe idea.
The western frcdeni who supply our market with
pork, horses, urtd other article* when about to#
leave the State, possess themselves of tho United >
States tnouoy iu circulation, or if enough canin '
bo collected, purchase it from tho Bonk itself, tad
transport ix to their respective homes. Thus hy '
reason of iu general currency, it fa remitted to Ut>-
Nortb and East inpayment of debts. No doubt
being entertained of it* entire soundness, it ma*
he continued lougiu circulation ut a great di»
tanco from the bank which issued it. Ordinary,
commercial transactions would not givvita hom .
ward direction, iu less lima than cue yean In
much leas time however, tho bank that itsaedit
will havo received in it* stead, bills of our ou r;:
banks, upon which sho may either operate profit
ably, or which she may convert into specie and
pleasure to the great oppression of the. fatter; and ;
there fa no modoin which this oppression can tm
successfully resisted. Experience has conclusive
ly proven, that Uuitvd States bank hills do not ..i,;-1
quire general currency within anyone stAt^wel.K
arc intended for a wider sphere—a sphere. :’a
which minor banks cun exercise no control. :
Tboy derive great advantages from their cgt-ui-v
in collecting tlte revenue vi the Geucrat Gove la
ment. All custom nouse hoadt, and other ,v>. i
deuces of debt belonging to the G. n-ral Govo'. j**
ment, are deposited in tue mother bank, or so.-n -
of its branches, as their locality may detenu tit;
for collection, and paymeut may be enforced f-
thernt their own bills or in specie. The gr ;: ‘
difficulty that always existed, and pariicu'n..) m
theBouthorn States, in procuring those*,V-li,
frequently put* it in their power to demand fi,
debtors specie payment-. Aud hon are i <’u-
als to obtain a sufficient amount of gold un i >ih '
ver com to meet such demands ? Obvinn *
in oneway. They must collect all tho bll.Voflot*
cal banks within their reach, and draw t .,<r e
from their vaults. This would be unn.-n r
oppression; hut nevertheless, fa such as nifty aud
probably wilt be practiced on those itj/v t '....-u

of the states.
