The charge of plagiarism by M. is entirely
without foundation. Tbe music it stricfly

in literary eompdritions.

Barr*.—The refusal of thp Banka in the

country banks, has' produced jnucb. incon
venience from the wont of a small circula

considerable distress from tbe want of bank
accommodation and the scarcity of money.
The Baltimore Federal Gazette calls for
