The fate of tbe Regency Bill in the French
Chamber of Deputies was decided on Saturday
week. M. Cbapuys de Modtlaville moved as an
amendment “ that the Regency be confided to tbe
mother of the minor Sovereign.” It was rejec
ted by a considerable majority. Another amend
ment was moved by M.de Sade. as follows ; “At
tbe close of tbe present reign, should tbe Prince,
called to the throne by the declaration of the 7th
August, 1830, not having accomplished the eigh
teenth year of bis age, and until be shall have
reached that age, the eldest of his paternal un
cles shall be invested with the Regency.” This
amendment was condemned by M. Thiers, who
declared that it would compromise the Monarchy
of July. The amendment was rejected. M. O
ddloo Barrel's amendment, fixing the majority
«f tbe Regent at twenty-five years, was also re
jected. Another amendment of M. de Tracy,
limiting tbe rights of the Regent, was then dis
mieaed, amidst impatient cries from the Conser
vatives at tbe delays of the Opposition members.
An amendment of M. Beaumont (de la Souvro,)
proposing that tbe Regent should convoke the
Chambers in twenty days, instead of forty days
after the King’s death, was likewise put to tbe
vote, and rejected ; finally, the bill was put to tbe
vote, and it was carried by a majority of 316.
On the following Monday the bill was presented
to the Chamber of Piers, ami Wednesday the
Duke de Broglie read the report of the Peers’
Commission on the bill; the repoit opposed tbe
main objections that bad be. n urged against the
ministeual measmes. Count Mule has promi

great sensation. The acute politician saw that
bis rival must be victorious; be perceived that
opposition on the particular question was to

By tbe arrival of papers from the Cape of Good
Hope, to tbe 18 h pf June, we learn from tbe of
ficial report of the commanding officer of the
British hoop* at Foil liatal, that the detachment
dispatched from the Cape to suppress the outra
grs of the liters of that settlement has been de
feahd with considerable* logs. Having received
an insolent requisition to withdraw tbe British
tr -oj.• s from Port Natal, which was succeeded by
the ** hltin«»’* of a considerable number of rattle
bel »iig tig to them. Captain Smith* of tbe 27ih
Reg iu -ni, the officer commanding, determined to
attack ti e camp ul the Boers at Congella, where
they had collected in gfeat force. The insignifi
cance of the detachment, however, as compared
wiih tl.e force to which it was opposed, and the
non-arrivul of the boat contain ng an howitzer
and an a tillery officer in time, compelled Capt.
Smith to tiiLke the attempt under great JisaJ\ou
tages. These added to other cesuaUies, compell
ed tire British detachment to retire with conside
rable l«is>*. The Dutch encampment was 6000
strong when the troops arrived, and atierwards
obtained a reinforcement ol 200 inurj- The Bo
ers are said to he able to muster 2000 men. The
chief Panda had sent to oiler Captain >Smith his
-ervices, which, although declined in the first in
stance, wid now, most likely, be accepted, Oih
er native leaders appear equally disposed to as
sisl the British forces. The detachment at the
disposal of Captain Smith, consisted only of 1
suballei n, and 17 p: ivates of the Royal Artillery;
I subaltern, I sergeant, and 2 privates of the roy
al Sapper*", 2 captains. 2 subalterns, 5 sergeants,
and 100 rank and file of the 27ih
mounted orderlies o! the (Jape Riiies. We re
gret to learn that Lieutenant Wyatt, R A., was
killed, and the 2 captains ot the 27ih severely
wounded. It appears from the letters, that the
encampment of '.he Boers is distant about three
miles from the entrenchment of the troops, in a
wesU riy directum, and that the ro »d approaching
lu the fortifications of the Dutch, have mangrove
trees on one side, and the water on the other.
No sooner had lire troops arrived al Congella
than a inurderou« fire waj poured upon them
from behind these trees, not an enemy bring in
sight. The troops relumed the fire, hut of course
with little effect, and the engagement lasted three
quarters of an hour, when the detachment w.is
forced to retire, leaving two field pieces behind.

Jndia and China.
A telegraphic dispatch from Marseilles, dated
the llOth ult., announces (he arrival at that place
of the overland mail from India. The intelligence
it brings painfully confirms the apprehensions
which were excited in the public mint! by the last
accounts from JeSialahad. The (treat Liverpool,
which reached Marseilles on Tuesday morning,
is the bearer of the most melancholy acc« tints
from the camp of General Foliock- These ac
c unts come d »wn to the 22nd of June. D.sease,
excessive heal, scarcity of provisions, and the
simoon, had decimated its troops; and discontent
at the stale of inaction in which they were kept
is said to have been at its height. As was an
ticipated, Ukbar Khan had possessed himself of
the Bala Hissar, and one of the treasurer-, that
were deposited there. The Governor General
had, however, left Gcu. Pollock lo act according
to his own judgement. Symptoms of mutiny had
manifested themselves am-u g the S khs. The
accounts from Candahar are to the llihofJune,
hut are wholly devoid of interest. Nothing of
importance had occurred in China. It was ru
mored that the Emperor had taken refug* in Tar
tar)’. The preparations for a march on Chapoo
were em, leitd, hut the troops remained inac
tive, arid, apparently, disheartened.
Th preparations for marching upon Chapoo
were completed ; but the army remained in a slate
of inaction, and seemed lo Ire completely overcome
by diacouia •ament.
Our position in China is but little changed
since we last wrote, and reinforcements are evi
dently awaited p evious lo making any move
ment of consequence. The Algerine, which
reached CaU uKa on the 7tb of June, brought in
telligence of another action in the neighborhood
Os Ning|H>. in which the old story was

at JdlaMwJ. and it would seem, whatever the or
ders brev ously issued may have been,that be iato

would allow him to retire through tbe Punjaob.
In tbe meantime he ie engaged in reducing the
strong bolds of the enemy in the vicinity of Jella
labad, and expeditions have been sent ftom that
garrison, whose object has been perfectly success
lul. Contrary to the terms of the French tele
graphic despatch, the troopa have not suffered
from the sickness and other casnalliee described ;
it is, on tbe contrary, slated that the health of the
troops was tolerably good. Orders to maintain
his position have also been despatched to Gener
al Nott, at Candahar, who has not only done so,
but gained a brUiant victory over the Affghans,
led en by Softer Jung (die youngest eon of tbe
laic Shah Soojsh), who was himself made prison
cr.
This action took place on tbe 29th of May, be
neath the walls of Caudaha. The British arms
have also been crowned with victory at Kelat i-
Ghilzie on the 21st of May, where Col. Wymer
who had been sent to relieve that place, defeated
the enemy with considerable loss. In Quettah the
Hoops appear to have suffered severely from sick
ness. Respecting the movements of Akbar Khanj
we learn that he had succeeded, in capturing the
Balia Hissar at Cabool, where .he had nominated
himself the Wuzcer of the nominal .Shah Futtur
Jung, the successor of Shah Seojili. One of the
most important occurrences, however, is Hie oidoi
by the Governor General f»r the formation of at
army of reserve of 20,000 men, under the com
mand es General Sir Jasper Nicolls, the commaudei
in chief in India, at Sirhind, near Delhi.

British.

e t tight llto Charter of the Central Dank
s’ lo be repealed'
e Among the various matters which will come
e before our next Legislature, not the least p-omi
t- i.ent will be the question projounded at the head
r . cf this article. The bills ol that inaiitbtion are
e now si greatly depreciated, aid tbe piotiabiltty
r- ~(• tijeir redemption without leg.slative aid so re
‘ mote, that we constantly hear the question ask
-5 ed. "What means will the Legislature adopt to
if enable the Bankjto resume specie pay mental”—
f Others, believing it to be utterly impracticable for
e the Bank lo redeem its bills with specie or its
a equivalent, as long as its capital consists mainly
t of promissory notes running for three hundred
t and sixty days, and tbe directors are authorized
a to issue its bills in twice the amount of that cap
-0 ital. think that its charter should be repealed, and
1 its business closed as soon as practicable. We
t know that the cry, intended lor parly effect, and
'• address, d to the fears of the people, bas been
■ and will again be raised, that if the charter of tbe
Centra! Bank rhould be repealed, 24,000 suns
I would immediately be instituted on notes due
3 and tunning lo maturity in that institution.—
t '1 bis consequence need not, and would not nc
s cessarily follow, unless the makers of the notes
8 failed to pay them at ma urity; and in that event,
. surely no one could complain, if suits should be
8 instituted for tbeir collection. The bank has is
f sue! its bills payable on demand, and loaned
. them liberal,y to tbe people for their notes: now
could it be just cause of complaint if suits should
• be commenced against those who might fail to
i pay their notes when duel If individuals, hav
s ing noies running >n Bank, comply with their
coatracls and pay them at maturity, suits would
i. not necessarily multiply, and whenever they fail
, to do so, whether the charter be repealed or not,
they must expect to be sued. But the truth is,
I this cry has been raised for political effect, to
frighten men who are indebted to the Bank into
(he support of thoae who will oppose tbe repeal
of iU charter, and by consequence, into the sup
• port of that parly which bas taken the Central
I Bank under its exclusive guardianship. It baa
• too long been a hobby for electioneering purposes.
s We cannot complain of any abuse in ns manage
ment, but we are at once told, “you wish to des
-1 'ray the Central Bank, the people’s bank, and if
! you succeed, yon wilt min the people by tbe
mulWodeol ruiU which wi'l be brought (against
«- - jUglTk
• mdVorni no longer, that tbe Bank roust either re -
• dram iu no ea promptly, or like ail othar insoi*
• vent backs, retire from bnatness we are again
met with the partisan cry, “yon wish to dep.e
--■ ciate the bills of G. Bank, in order to force
J upon tbe people a Bank of the United States.”
1 Durirg the political campaign of last year, it was
! one ot tho stereotyped arguments of the dem
; ocratic press, that innumerable suits would ensue
upon winding up the affairs of tbe Cent.al Bank,
’ tod that the Whig* were unfriendly to the con
! tinuaocc of its charter. But fearing that ibis re
sort would no longer avail them, and that tbe
present ruinous depreciation ol the bills of their
favorite would more than counterbalance the force
of their appeal, and fearing that if tbe Bank
' should become unpopular, the parly would fall
with it, an attempt is now made to bolster it up
by lepresenling tbe depreciation of its bills to be
1 tberffectofa combination between the Wbtgs
' and brokers to break it down, because forsooth, it
1 is in the way of a United Slates Bank! This a
mounts to nothing more nor less than an attempt
to prop tbe sinking popularity of their pet by an
appeal to the political prejudice of a party, and
all who have any regard lor (he honor and endit
of the State, and the dignity of its highest office,
must tegrel to see his excellency tbe Governor
made the prominent instrument in sounding that
appej loarouse tbe prejudices of bis party. A
combination between the Whigs and brokers
indeed ! The Central Bank iu the way of a U. S-
Bank ! Why. tbe idea is supremely ridiculous;
and the man who can advance it bas but little res
pect for bimsrlf, and lees fur the people. If the
rei:,ds of the Central Bank will make it and keep
it a rpecie paying institution they need dread no
combination between Whigs and brokers, or any
one else to depreciate its bills; but if tbeir oxn
improvident itg.slation has placed it in the situa
tion which we now find it, they must expect their
errors lo be exposed ; and it the bills of tbe Bank
continue lo sink until the depreciation becomes
tuinous, us it now is, the people will demand a
remedy, if it can be bad in no other way, will
gladly receive it in the repeal of its charter. They
aie heartily sick of a deprei ialed currency in
cv.ry shape and form, and intend to rid themsel
ves of it, and every bank which cannot susiain
specie payments must expect to go to the wall.
The question then of the ie|>eal of the charter of
the (Antral Bank cannot be avoided—it must be
met. Pal.ncians may attempt lo envelope it in
the mists of party prejudice, but it is a question
which “comes home” lo the pockets of the peo
ple, ami none need try to evade it: it concerns
their deepest i detest, and should be discussed
calmly and dispassionately—it is in fact, a ques
tion whether we shall have a sound or unsound
cmrency—it should be disconnected from party
politics. If the Bank be a benefit lo the commu
nity.Jetit be -ustained, but ts its-existence is de
trimenlal to the public good, and is in the way of
a good currency, all should feel an interest in get
ting rid of the evil—none should attempt to sus
tain an institution which is of public detriment,
though it may bo the means of keeping a parly
in power— ‘the greatest good of the greatest num
ber,” should be the motto of the politician, as it is
of the patriot.
1 propose then, in a few subsrquent numbers,
briefly to explain the principles upon which the
Central Bunk is constituted, to show that they do
1 not comport with the sound and legitimate princi
ples of banking, and (o enquire into the proprie
ty of n pelting Ha charter. LOWNDES.

NUMBER TWO.
Before proceeding to give a brief analysis of
the charier of the Central Bank, so far as its
banking operations are involved, it may not b*
amiss, as necessary to a right decision upon the
- question under discussion, to enquire into the ob
ject of es'.alilishing that institution. And here 1
assert, and the original charter will sustain tbe
truth of the assertion, that the purpose was, not
to tnciccsc the circulating medium of the Stale
i and to expand the paper currency by creating a
nother bank of discount and circulation, but tbe
main and prominent reason was to loan lo the
. people the surplus money then lying idle in the
treasury; in fact, as expressed in the preamble
of the act, “ for the purpose of discounting pa
. per, ai d making loans upon terms more advao
r lageous than has been heretofore customary.”—
Georgia at that lime, was not only out of debt,
but bad a large surplus fund lying unproductive
and unused in iter treasury. It had accumula
i ted fruin dividends on bmk stock owned by the
Slate, from taxes, from payments for fractions
sold, grants a d other sources of revenue. In
1826, the Committee on Finance reported the
balance in the treasuiy nn 'be sth of November,
lobe §792,122 03: in 1827, a similar committee
, reported the surplus funds on the 26th of Novem- ,
, her to be $637,303 1-1 ; and in 1828, the JMf*
the bar k was chartered, tbe amount repqrfed on
, hand tbe 31sl O.louer, was
> have taken the three years immediately preceding
> the charter of the Bank tpshow that the treasu
ry possessed a permanent surplus fund of up
| wards of $600,00'1, and that the income of the
. state was jrafffeirnt to prevent any considerable
reductioujlrihe fund. The enquiry naturally
i sugge*srd itself, why should this latge fund thus
■ litrmlle and unproducli'e 1 It was thought that
• |/ this money might b r advantageously loaned to
II the people, and a.so be a source of revenue to
S.ale, Hence the Bank was chartered for
enlarging the paper currency of the Spy-e
blllff Hi Twice or thrS^BpTa
its capital; and for proof of re
-. 26ih section of the charter, which ex
0 “the directors at any time to
h the bills of the Bank to a grea
the aggregate of specie bills, of
a theVychartered banks of this Slate, and the
P bills'urthe Bank of the U. 8. in its vault.” As
t long as this section remained in force, it was not
1 in the power of the directors to expand the cur
i- rency of the country by an emission of their
J own bilftffffkr whatever amount of notes might be
; issued by them, ‘.bey bad to base their issue on
e other banks withdra.vn Irotn circulation, and
n kept on hand for the redemption of their own pa
■- per: and another eminent advantage attending
i, this restriction was, they could not issue more
j, bibs than they were able at any lime lo redeem,
e Had this prohibition remained uniepealed, the
i- Central Bank, so far as the issue of its own notes
might be involved, would be a harmless institu
tion. All the mischief which has been done in
s the depreciation of its notes, has arisen from the
act of 1839, authorizing an issue of hills in twice
the amount of its capital. The enquiry nuwna
turally arises, of what does its capital consist,
_ and upon what principles does its charter now
stand' 1
e By the act chartering the Bank, “the money
d in the treasury not otherwise appropriated, the
,r shares owned by the State in other banks, all
‘ e bonds, notes, specialties, judgments due the
| Stale, and all moneys arising from tbe sales of
fractions and town losls heretofore made, band
er hereafter to be made) and all other debts and
monies at any time due tbe Slate, shall consti
-r tme and form tbe capital stock of said Bank.”—
e Now as the capital of the Bank was composed
,e of these various items, many of which were not.
and could not be, (immediately available for par
as poses of banking, and of course could not form
ik the basis of an emission of bills, the Bank was
rs wisely restricted in its issues lo tbe amouunt of
ie. cash funds on hand. Tbe legislature of 1839
id repealed this restriction anJautborized“lhe direc
ts tors lo issue and put in circulation any amount
of tbe notes ol said Bank, not exceeding double
% the amount of tbe capital stuck of said Bank.”
th Another impoilant'fealurc of the charter not to
be overlooked in this investigation, is that all
I< an* made by the Bank arc on notes running
three hundred ami sixty days, and twenty pe*
cent, oi Jjeir amounts to Us paid annually-
Thus we sec what the Bonk was restricted from
doing under the original, a d what it i* permi -
teil to do under the amended charter. The
contrast between it r operations in the two views
presented will be drawn hereafter.
LOWNDES.
Onght the charter of the Central Bank to
be repeated !
NUMB£H THBIS.
It is often urged, that the Central Bank has
afforded accomodations to the people, when they
could not obtain them elsewhere: that many, by
borrowing money from that institution, have ob
tained it upon better terms than they could get it
from other banks, or individual capitalists, and
have thus been enabled to pay their debts and
save their property ; and this is the main reason
assigned, why it should be continued and sus
tained. It is conceded that snch relief has been
afforded by the Bank, but it was when it bad not
the power to fill the country with an in edeemable
currency: it was when it loaned th.« surplus
money of the treasury upon accomodati on notes
upon time, and was prohibited from iss ning its
own hi Is in an amount exceeding the aggregate
of specie and its equivalent on band to tredeem
them : it was when it was a mere bonk of dis
count and deposite, and not of circulation ; hut
since the act of 1839, making it a bank of
circulation, and authorizing it to issue its own
paper in twice the amount of its capital, I ask its
most sturdy champion to point to the benefit it
has conferred upon the community. What can
he point to but the million and a half of dollars
in circulation audits empty vaults! What bene
fit other than the depreciation of its bills to 25
per cent, discount! lam aware that a large a
mount of appropriations and debts of the Stale
paid by it, has been paraded in the papers and
great credit claimed for it because it has mads
such large and heavy payments for the State.
Grantit: but whose money was it that was vised!
The State’s : aye, and all the money that ever
was in the Bank, or ever will be again,
individual deposites) was and will be the y proper
ty of the State: and is it truly any great c redit to
the bank to take the Sta e’s money and pay the
State's debts! But to return to the point at issue:
ns a bonk of circulation, what benefit has it con
ferred upon the community! Come fort! *, ye ad
vocates QI ttßrtJniSal anil_.uU|iia what
,mi«!uy Ken, fits the peopleuaeederived (*[ fitny oht
favorite, since it was made a bank of circ elation!
But I promised in this number to draw 'the con
trast between the operations of the Bank prior to
the amendment of i.s charter in 1839 ai id since
that time. It will be recollected, that ur jto that
time, it was merely a bank ot discount: ot rarely
issued its own paper, and never without re taining
in its vaults an equal amount of specie funds.—
Hence tbe bank was always in a safe and sound
condition—its credit was undoubted and ita paper
never depreciated. It was chartered iat 1828 : in
1829 a committee of tbe legislator j, to whom
was referred the report of the Dirccti as. reported
ita bills in circulation to be $263,409 00. and its
funds on hand in specie and its equiv ilent $392,-
829 00: in 1831, its circulation was reported to
be $111,996 00, and its funds to re teem its is
sues consisted of $80,656 in specie, 150 805 in
If. 8. Bank bills, and $108,653 in I ills on the
Georgia banks, amou '.ting t 05240,1141: in 1832,
the amount of bills in circulation was $96,704,
and funds on hand $81,959 in specie, $49,280
in U. 8. Bank notes, and s9l, 480 iji Georgia
bank notes, making in the aggregate $222,-
719; in 1834, its notes in circulattoa amounted
to $226,246, and its means of redemption $132,-
134, iu specie, biiis on the U. 8. and local banks
$124 227, making $256,361: in 1.835, its cir
eolation wassl72.7oU on band in specie $lO4-
I4S. and notes on the 11. 8 and Georgia banks
$65,463, amounting $169 608 : ut 1839, its cir
culation was reported SB9 932, and its current
funds on hand $164 663 32. Thus was tbe
bank, under its original charter, able at all times,
promptly to redeem its bills; it had not the pow
er to issue notes which it could not redeem, nor
to expend the currency of the country further
than a re issue of the bills of other banks which
Came in its possession : it was under such restric
tions and such management that the bank was
ben> ficial to the country—it was shorn of all
power to do barm, except so far as it mightniake
bad debts in loaning the people's money.
But low look on the other side of the picture.
The leg stature of 1839, either from ignorance, or
a profligate abandonment of all sound principles
of banking, repealed the wholesome restriction
contained in the 25th section of the charier, and
gave the Directors power to issue its bills in twice
the amount of its capital, and this too when they
knew its capital consisted almost exclusively of
the promissory notes of individuals and bank
stock owned by the Btale neither of which could
be made immcdiatrly available lor legitimate
banking operations. Now mark the result: in
Novemler 1810,the circulation of the Bank a
mounted to $992,339 00—nearly a million ol
dollars, and ita specie funds on hand did not a
mount to $20,000. The directors reported that
they bad to rely almost exclusively upon notes
discounted, (which let it be recollected, run 360
days,) for the redemption of its bills. Truly we
hardly know which most to admire the wisdom
of the Legislature or the ••financial ability'’ of
the Directors of the Bank. In 1841, the circula
tion was reported to be $1,310,746 00 ; and the
only item in the report, which can be construed
to mean cash funds, is in these significant words,
•‘other assets $25,000.” Its circulation now is
slated in the Federal Union to he over $1,500,-
000, and its means of redemption, what! Let its
friends tell, if they can. Is it then matter of sur
prise, that it is a non-specie Bank! Is it mailer
of surprise, that ns bills have depreciated from
20 to 25 per cent! Nay, is it not more surpris
ing that they have not depreciated more!
Here I might close with ibis number, but I
have just met with (he able report made in 1830,
by Jamas Uamack, tbe first President of the
Bank, from which 1 cannot forbear to give an ex
tract.
“The limited amount of profits arises, more
over from the circumstance, that this Bank is
merely a bank of discount and deposite, and not
of circulation —it being expiessly prohibited from
dealing with its credit. Indeed, the Directors do
not deem the amount of prefits to be at present a
matler of any very great importance; though cer
tainly not to be lost sight ol by any means. They
regard tbe most important function of the Bank
to bo the conversion of the old debts due to the
State on bonds, notes, &c. and on account of
lands sold, into a fund on " hich tbe interest
shall he regularly paid, at slated peri, ds,togi Iher
with a certain proportion of the principal. They
do not belie *e that it would be advisable, at pres
ent, to convert the Bank into a Bank of circula
tion, with a view to the augmentation of its an
nual profits. Fur, wi h its present salutary re
strictions, and its obligation to discount as large
a portion of accomod ation notes as may be con
sistent with its safely, renewable every six months
and extinguisbahle in five years, which obliga
tion and restrictions it would be extremely im
prudent to meddle with just now, such n change
m Usjundamental principles would be very
Jttzardous, independent of the constitutional ob
jections that might be raised against it. And
even if those objections were temoved, the nature
of the pursuits of those who now are, and will
most probably he hereafter its customers, is such
—being chiefly agricultural, where the profits of
capital none in slowly and at long intervals—as
to make it comparatively a profitless undertaking
to convert it into a bat k of circulation ; and in
consequence of litis conversion, to compel it to
confine tisolf to the only legitimate operation of
such nn institution, which is rhe discounting of
paper hiving a short time f 111', and arising
wholly out of the oiJmary transactions of men
with one an niter, in the tale and transfer of pro
perty.”
Perhaps it may be proper to observe, thatVit is
granted that the Bank wtil be ultimately solvenl:
hence it has not been thought necessary to refer
to the amount of its bills, and its capability of
maintaining specie payments, and not its ultimate
solvency, are the main points under discussion.
LOWNDES.
Onght the Charter of the Central Bank be
repealed !
NUMBER FOUB.
It is now proposed to show that the Charter
of the Central bank, as amended by the act of
1839, does not comport with sound principles of
Banking; and if this proposition should be sus
tained, the conclusion will necessarily follow, that
the charter should be repealed.
The first principle ot banking, and it is one
without the observance of which, no Bank can
be established on a solid foundation, is, there
must be real, bona fide capital in gold and silver,
or its equivalent, actually paid in to form the ba
sis of the issues of the bank. Now this elemen
tary principle, so vitally necessary to sustain the
credit of my institution cairying on banking
operations, is wholly set at naught in the Char
ter of the Central Bank. The capital of that
bank is made to consist of money, or notes, judg
ments or debts due, or hereafter to be due the
State, or Bank stock—it may consist of all, or
one, or more of these items—to show that the
charter violates this first principle ol banking.it
is sufficient to say that it no where requires the
bank to keep on hand any amount of specie or
specie funds. Its capital not only consists ol
debts due the Stale, but there is connected with
it, a tremendous power lodged in the hands of
threp men and by them to be used at discretion:
It la tbe privilege of issuing its bilb in twice the
amount of ita capital—so that when a distribu
lion and loan of its bills are made, and the notes
i of individuab received in exchange therefore,
these notes become debts doe the State, and a
f part of tbe capital of tbe bank, and may form tbe
I basis of a new issue in double their amount: It
may be replied, that no Board of directors will
t ever be disposed to use their power to the extent
e here suggested : it may be that they would not,
’ but, as was once eloquently said in the House
3 of Bepicsentalives, “it is a power which should
II he entrusted to no man, though_heJraay have the
wises t head ever placed on'munVeh '.uMe s, or the
soundest heart that palpitated iu man’s bosom.”
A certain Bank, located in this U.ly, baa received
no little share of public .indignation, because it
was supposed that the stockholders tun stork
notes, instead of paying actual capital into the
Bank: to this source were attributed most ©fits
disorders, and to sustain the credit.
Now how much wiser hjs been the legislation in
relation to the Central Bank, and how much
1 moie skilful ita management by the Directors !
Co rparc the two cases, and tell me, if the latter
does not deserve as great a share of public indig
-1 nation as the former! And shall one be driven
to the wall, because it is a joint stock bank, and
the other, with a capital equally unsubstantial,
’ and its management t qually reckless, escape pub
[ lie censure, because it is the State’s Bank ! Lot
equal, even handed justice be meted out to ail—
to Stale and people—and let tbe Central Bank,
1 like all other broken banks, be forced to wind up
i s affairs and close its business, when its longer
1 existence will be a curse and nuisance to tbe
1 cummunity.
! Another fundamental (principle of hanking is,
1 that a bank should make its discounts, upon bu
-1 sincss paper, or acceptances open short sight, in
1 order to preserve its flexibility—the pswer of al
-1 teruate expansion and cogjaction to meet the ex
-1 igency of the times: and a Bank which expands
its issues without the self protecing power of con
l. traction, must inevitably sink its credit. The
* propriety of this principle, and the absolute ne
-1 cessitv fnr its observance, must be apparent (o
1 all. *A Bank, which issues its own paper, paya
ble on demand, and which is liable to be return
ed upon it, as soon as issued, with a demand for
1 specie, must necessarily have its own debts run
ning sapun short time, and upon paper which is,
not ronrely good, but which will be certainly met
at maturitr- If then an unusual rnn for specie
should be'made upon such a hank, it will he in
its power t* protect itself. If specie should be
• drawn from si* vaults, so as to disturb the propor
tion between it* circulation and its specie funds,
iu debts constantly falling due, and its debtors
daily making payments, it would be teceiving its
■ own bdls daily, and Oy withholding further is
sues the equilibrium between its circulation and
1 specie would soon be reared. But how stands
’ tbe charter of the Cetilrd Bank, when brought
: to the lest of this principle? ft is answer enough
to say, that it issues bills payable on demand, and
loans them out for notes, (upon which it relies
•it— liable to be re
, turned upon it anyuraa,) payable three hundred
and sixty days after dale, and then renewable an
( oually for five years with 20 per ceii‘' re 3nrt)<Mj,
, The bare sta.intent of the case is sufii'***-'* 10
curry conviction to every mind. Owing thU' l
these inherent defects in the charter it is iraposs.'*
ble for the Central Bank to keep out a circula
tion and maintain specie payments. If such be
the case, and I challenge any one to show the
contrary to he true, can the question of the con
tinuancc of the charter bo difficult of solution !
Will not evety one see, nay, do they not feel the
necessity of gelling rid of such an institution.
If it w as a joint stock bask, in precisely the same
situation, it* existence would not be tolerated a
moment: it would be considered irretrievably ru
ined, and the Town of indignation and scowl ol
contempt would meet its managers from every
quarter. What then shall shield the Cent al
Bank and its managers tram a like fate!
But it may be replied that these defects in the
charter can be cured by legislation, and the Bank
restored to its pristine soundness and vigor.—
Why this was attempted in 1840—the odious
law of 1839 was repealed, but as soon as there
was a change of parties, the repealing law of
iB4O was itself repealed, and the obnoxious law
of 1839 again re-enacted with a slight modifica
tion, the objectionable power of issuing hills in
twice the amount of a nominal capital being te
vived.
Again to return to the original charier would
now be useless and unnecessary—it will be re
collected that the rea-on for establishing the hank
was to loan to the people tbe surplus money, ly
ing idle and unproductive in theTrersury. This
reason no longer exists, the State having no sur
plus money, but on the contrary is deeply in debt.
Be ides if, assume ol the friends of the Bank
siy, the Bank will he worth a million of dollars,
after paying all its liabilities, as it is the Stale’s
money, the State will need that amount and
more too, to pay its debts and spare the people
that amount of taxation. Surely, if the Bank
can return that amount to the Treasury lo be ap
plied to the payment of the debts of the Slate,
no one should hesitate to say, that it should be
dune, rather than it should remain in possession
of the Bank, and form the basis of an issue of
irredeemable paper. To return then lo the origi
nal charter would be totally useless, no good could
result from it—the Bank could make no
distribution, because it would have nn funds
lo loan, and would, of course, be prohibi
ted from issuing its own paper and loaning it.
The pure and simple question is, shall the Bank
continue with the power granted to it by the act
of 1839! or would it not be more conducive to 1
the public good to repeal its charier totally and
unconditionally! It is in fact a quest on wheth
er law and public)opinion shall tolerate a non-spe
cie paying Bank, whose bills are now at a ruin
ous depreciation ! whether we shall have a sound
or an unsound currency ! for it* is susceptible us
demonstration, that we can never heve a sound
currency under the Central Bank. This is the
question now lo be decided—and upon the deci
sion depends the complexion of the next Legis
lature. LOWNDES.
Ought the Central Hank to be repealed?
NUMBER FIVE.
In concluding this series of artichs, it may not
be amis* to give a brief recapitulation of the prom
inent points contained in the preceedtng num
bers, in order lo bring them before the mind at
or e view. Audi take this occasion to invite
an investigation of the propositions submitted; if
any should think that the principles of the char
ier of the Central Bank have not been fairly ex
plained, or that the arguments used, ate insufffient
to sustain the affnmalive of the question dis
cussed. they are invited to show wherein injus
tice has been done tbe Central Bank, and ti> ex
pose the fallacy of the reasoning which has been
submitted in support ol the repeal of its charter.
It ha, been affirmed, and is now reiterated,
that the Central Bank was intended to be a
bank of discount, and not of circulation—that
its issues were restricted to the aggregate of spe
cie and specie funds on hand—that the main
and prominent reason lor its establishment, was
to loan the surplus money of the Treasury, and
to make available the interests or debts due tbe
Slate—that its capital was made lo consist of
b„nds, notes, judgements, and debts due, or lh« re
after to be due the State, and the Bank Stock
owned by the State, and the money in her Treas
ury—and its capital consisted of the various i
tems, most of which cannot be made available
for banking purposes, it was wisely restricted in
its issues, but lo the amount of specie and its
equivalent on hand, so that under the original
chirler, its credit would be unimpaired, and
the holders of its bills always secure from loss.
It has beta shown from official reports that
under the operation of the original charter,
the credit of the Bank was always undoubted
—that its circulation never exceeded its means
of redemption, and that consequently its bills
never depreciated. It has been further shown,
that the Legislature in 1839, repealed the reslttc
lion contained tn the 25th section of the char
ter upon the issuis of the Bank, and authorized
the Directors lo issue ils bills in twice the amount
of its capital—and that from that law, dates the
commencement of the depreciation of its bills—
that the D.re-ctors alter the passage of that hw,
and before the meeting of the succeeding Legis
lature. made a distribution and loan of $750,1100,
consisting of il.c lulls of the bank, and that they
put iu cticuiation this vast amount of their own
paper, without any meant ai the time to redeem
it, and that their only reliance was, as slated by
them in their report, tbe notes discounted by
them, wbicb.it will be recollected, run 360 days
and were received for five years with one fifth re
duction.
It has been shown that the charter of the Bank
as amended, is entirely incompatible with sound
banking principles—that as long as its capital
is merely nominal, and it is permitted to make
ils issues in double the amount of such a capital,
and discount accommodation notes for 360 days,
it never can be a specie paying institution—it
was not intended, nor, from its locality, can it
ever do a purely legitimate banking business —it
was intended to make discounts for an agricultu
ral. aad not a mercantile community. Hence its
present charter is totally incompatible with such
an intention. If ils loans are intended for tbe bene-
the farming community,itshould be restricted
in its issues to tbe amount of specie on band, or
it can never be a specie paying bank.
It has been shown that the main object for tbe
establishment of tbe hank, was to loan tbe sur
plus money in the Treasury upon better terms
than discounts were usually made by banks—
that reason for tbe existance of tbe bank no longer
exists—as the the Treasury no longer has a sur
plus, but on the contrary, the State is deeply in
debt—and “when the reason ceases, the law
should cease with it,” —if, upon closing its busi
ness and paying all its liabilities, it would have
a surplus left, it should immediately turn it over
' to the State to pay its debts and save the people
’ from that amount of taxation. In short, in no
point of view, can any good reason be assigned
' for the longer continuance of the Central Bank.

Cotton— Out market may now be said to be
fairly opened, as our receipts to-day ware over
SOO bales, and
i* sold on arrival. The quality of the crop this
year is very superior. Our market has been very
active, and as high as 8 ccnls has been paid for
some choice loads. We quote 7id 8 cents as ex

rnandiDg j- of a cent over round. In old Cottors
there has been some considerable sales for lire
stock on hand, and we quote 44 ® 7 j as extremes.
What effect the accounts received by the Great
Western will have, it is impossible for us to say;
we presume out market must give way a little.
Hogging and Bale Rope— Tbe sales of both
those articles have been very heavy during the

Bale Rope 6 @ 12 cents.
Groceries— The slocks of all kind* of Groceries
will be very heavy this fall, and as most of our

Extracts from a letter received in this city.
Liverpool, 3dSeptembcr, 1842
“Thnigh the disturbances in the manufacturing
districts had been in a great measure suppressed at
the date of our last, and have since been kept
down with some unimportant exception ’, yet the re
turn of the operatives to employment is not so ge
neral as had been hoped for. The majority of
Spinners appear to have resumed, but the question
of wages between them and their employers is not
satisfa .torily settled in many localities; while the
“turn, out” ou the part of the weavrrs, dyers, &c.
continues very general. The consumption of cot
ton has been greatly curtailed by the suspension
of U.bor, to the extent already probably of 40 or
v 50,000 bales, and though the; consequent diminish
ed production of Yams and Goods has caused an
ad.vance in them, and enabled holders to clear off
o'id stocks to advantage, the injury to the Cotton
Vradc at large is very serious aud must prove still
more so if the contested question of wages is not
speedily arxi amicably ‘■ettled.
The active speculative demand for Cotton notic
ed in our last*Circular of 19th ult., together with a
moderate extent of miyiag on the part of consum
ers, con tinned up to the 2Gth ult., and a large busi
ness was done, producing a further advance in the
ordinary and r. iddlir.g qualities of £d per lb.—
Since then however the ccmand has teen limited
and the rnaiket lun rhd, particularly so the list few
days in which the .speculative buying has been al
most suspended, and consequently the above ad
vance has been quite dost. The quotations are a
bout the same as ou the 39ih ult, when the last
steamer sailed, but the tone of the market is alto
gether different, with a downward tendency, and it
would not be possible to eell lo much extent with
out submitting to lower rates. This unfavorable
change must be ascribed maicly to the continued
unsettled state of a large past of the operatives
thus disappointing the ex pc cut to ns so generally,
perhaps rather unreasonably, entertained of the
resumption of the consumption ere this to its full
extent; and until the result is seen little calcula
tion can be- made on the futuie course of our mar
ket. The very favorable reports of the growing
crop in the United States, brought by the last arri
vals, may have had some influence in checking
speculation. The sales for the week ended 2Gth
ult. amounted *o 43,770 bales, of which about 20,-
000 was tc speculators, but the bminisa for the
week ended iaet evening was only 21,100 —about
4500 efit on. spcculatiou,chiefly early in the week.
Os the pist week’s sales, 3710 were Upland at 4 a
6; 8880 Orle aus at 4 a 7; 2490 Mobile and Alaba
ma at 4 a 6j\ ; ; an 1 .500 Sea Islands at S j a 20d per

iLit v eopool , August 26.
There ha* be en an animated demand for Cotton
throughout the week, aud a large amount of busi
ness has been d-one. The market has not been over
abundantly supj ->lied, and an advance of £d per lb
on last Friday’s prices has been obtained without
difficulty for nearly all qualities c/i* American and
Surat. Brazil, Lgpytian, &c are without allera
lion in price. T he total sajes are 43,770 bags—
but of this Jty speculators, w’ho have been
remaikably activfc, have taken 16,400 American
and 4000 *• urat. have almost withdraw n
from the market,-, beir purchases not exceeding 630
American and GO .Surat. The trade have taken a
very fair quantity, «nd would probably have pur
chased more, were it not for the number of nulls
that are not yet in fuJQ work.
The import of the i veek amounts to 12,579 bags.
September 2. —The > demand for col on has been
moderate throughout 1 be week, not more than 21,-
100 bags of all descri otiuns . aving been disposed
of. Speculators have taken a very fair quantity,
their ptuchases con si; ;ting of 4700 Aneiican and
250 pirui, w hilst ? x> exporters there have only
been sold 650 Auierie an and 30 Surat. The trade
have beei very supine •, although there was seine
improvement iu the pi ices of Yarn and fiords last
Tuesday at ManchesU s, but they aie no doubt de
terred from making I uge investments in the raw
material, owing to an amber of mills being yet clo
sed. The market has been pretty freely supplied,
and in some instance rs a decline of £d per lb has
taken place in the con imon and middling qualities
of American. Prices of Brazil and Egyptian are
fully supported, whilst: .Surat is withouw alteration.
There were forwarded, into the country last month
unsold, 1130 America ji, 50 Smyrna and 180 Surat.
The import of the w< tek amounts to 7344 bags.
Today’s demand lor cotton has keen moderate,
ai d the sales amount to only 2500 bags, nearly all
of which have been taken by the trade. Prices
are without lurther alteration.
