Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Baltimore

•‘The President, Cashier, and first Teller of the
Branch Bank, are removed; also, the Cashier and
first Teller of the Union Hank of Maryland; also,
the Cashier of the City Hank of Ualtimore. The
Branch Ilank to-day refused to receive on depos
it the bills of the City Bank; the consequence was
an immediate run for specie on this Bank com-
menced, and before 1 o’clock payment was re-
fused, and at 2 o'clock the doors were closed, re
port says they will be opened to-morrow!!. Rune
upon the Mechanic's Hank were also commenc
ed, and they continued to pay nntiU o'clock, the
usual hour of closing tne.r doors To morrow
the whole of the City Hanks will no doubt be
pushtdh-ard, and I should nut be at all surprised,
should they suspend payment. The Branch Bank
has no bills in circulation, and of cunt se cannot
he troubled. Failures arc daily increasing, and
general bankruptcy appears inevitablt; mean time
business is suspended. It is supposed the United
Stales' Bank will lose the whole capital of its
Branch here—s:,y (,ii se milUmt ofdillart ”
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Balti
more to his friend in Charleston, dated
May 28th, 1819.
"Nothing but gloom around us—my
brother this moment steps in to say that
the City Bank, with a capital of £300,000,
and perhaps double that out in paper shut
to-day at 1 o'clock, and the notes offered
at 75 per cent, discount The Mechanics
Bank, of the same standing, is hard run,
and will be more so tomorrow. Every one
has notes in his packet book of both these
Banks, and suffers. Presidents, Cashiers,
and Clerks are going out, overwhelmed in
ruin, and execrated for their conduct while
in office.”
Baltimore, May 29.
A necessary arrangement at the City
Bank of Baltimore yesterday, excited a
partial alarm, chiefly among the laburing
class of citizens, respecting bank paper,
and caused a number of small demands
for specie on several of the other Banks,
which wbb renewed this morning. These
demands were met so promptly, that the
public confidence was soon restored. Ex
cepting a few instances the sums deman
ded were very small; a great proportion
of them, both in number and amount, did
not exceed ten dollars from each claimant
ami very many uf them were for one and
two dollars.
At the Mechanics’ Bank of Baltimore,
where the greatest number of claims were
made, several of the directors attended to
assist the officers of the Bank, and by this
means a vast crowd of demands were sa
tisfied in a short period, so that before 12
o’clock to-day, scarcely a solitary claim
ant remained, and the demand ha9 now
Wholly ceased.
A gratifying instance of the confidence
reposed in the Mechanics’ Bank of this
ci'y : came to our knowledge this morning,
during the run which was made upon that
institution Cor specie. A Lady came to
»ay, that she hau laid by a few hundred
Spanish dollars, which if the Bank want
ed them, were entirely at its service. A
number of respectable citizens, also prov
ed their confidence in each of the Banks,
by making deposits of specie.
As an act of justice, which we have
much pleasure in performing, we add, that
the several respectable exchange offices
in this city have evinced, orr this occasion,
an active and friendly liberality in their
conduct, which has been highly useful iuf
aiding the Banks to quiet the alarm whicl
prevailed; for this meritorious conduct
they will receive as they deserve, tkfc
thanks of their fellow citizens. That oxe
or two citizens have acted othetwiso thah
friendly to the Banks we sincerily regret,
and hope that on reflection, thej will be
sensible of the impropriety of asdsting to
increase an unnecessary excitement.
The friendly conduct of all the other
Banks iu this city to those on which de
mands were made, is highly honorable to
their respective officers and directors; and,
the increase of confidence in the safety of
our monied institutions which must be the
result of this judicious conduct, will rem
der the short excitement which we have'
experienced a benefit to our city.
Anecdote.—A gentleman of this city,
whether actuateifby imaginary fears, or a
disposition to add to the embarrassments
of Ids fellow citizens, during the unfoun
ded alarm excited yesterday, made a draft
upon the Mechanics’ Bank for the balance
of his account there, to the amount of up
wards of 84(100, which was immediately
paid to him in specie. His object was to
place it in some other hank which he tho’t
nuire secure, but to the honor of the feel
ings which ; t present pervade the commu
nity, this evidence of his desire to oppress
one bank was so resentfully viewed by
the others, that not one of them would con
sent to receive the deposit, or open an ac
count with him Balt. Fed. Gaz.
LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
Baltimore, May 29.
By the s ip Philip, 42days /tun Liver-
poot,turieed this morning.
From the London Courier of April 12,
An attempt has been made to poison
the Emperor nf Austria, on hit passage
through Mantua. This diabolical design,
it seems, was meditated by a set of re
formers, called the Calhonari certain en
lightened individuals, wiio imagine that
Italy can never be well governed till all
its Winns States are united under its
sceptre. The political relations of the
House of .Austria with the North of Italy
are an obstacle in the way of his scheme,
and with a degree of folly, equalled only
by the atrocity of the design, it appears
to have been believed, that destroying the
head of that house would annihilate also,
the matured policy of Europe which de
termine the existing condition of Italy.
The absurdity of this supposition might
excite only our derision, were it not for
irofligacy of intention with which it
lited. Assassination seems to be
growing favorite with the professors of
liberal doctrines all over the world. It is
an expeditious remedy for suppositious
wrongs, well suited to the motives of those
who complain, and we observe there is al
ways a mischievous spirit of ingenuity
at work to contrive palliatives for the
abhorrence of mankind at such atrocities.
Thus the Morning Chronicle thinks it “at
least as probable, that the conspiracy al
luded to has been charged upon the mem
bers of his sect or secret society, as I
pretext to justify still harBher measures
against them, as that any of them had
actually compassed the death of the em
peror of Austria.”
From the Georgia Advertiser, 2d inst,
Forth* information of persons who may
have occasion to travel up the country,

through your paper, to mention, that an ex
cellent line of stages is now running irom

leaves Washington the next morning a
little after sun-rise, takes breakfast at
Centreville, dices at Lexington, and reach

ing the trip from Augusta to Athens in two
day9 and from Athens to Augusta in the
same time, and on the same nay exchang
ing passengers at Washington; and as tlie
route is performed altogether in day-light
it renders the travelling in this way almost
as pleasunt as in private carriages, and as
little expensive, to those who propose
spending several days at either of the
places. As the stages and horses are good,
and the drivers excellent, it is believed
that a more pleasant line is not to be
in the southern country. As I have
recently made an experiment of it, I deem
ed it but proper to take this notice of it,
for the benefit of those who might not
know of the establishment, and who, like
myself, might have occasion to make use
of it. A TRAVELLER.

OBJTUARY.
“Each moment has ,'ts sickle, emulous
Of Time’s cnomous scythe, whose ample sweep
Strikes empireafrom the root} each moment plies
His little weapon in the narrower sphere
Of sweet domestic comfort, and cuts clown
The fairest blooms of sublunary bliss.”
Tn the death ofGEonnE Kkb, esq’r, his kindred
friends snd soc.ety have suffered a great loss,
which is felt with redoubled force because Jt
was sudden and unexpected. We witness the
alow and silent progress of decay in nature, with
comparative unconcern; but when the towering
oak is prostrated by lightning in its pride of
bloom, or when the firm and stately edifice is
overthrown by an earthquake, we are struck
with wonder and grief at the sudden desolation;
thus we behold our fellow creatures sinking
gradually to the tomb, under the hand of dis
ease and Time, with leu sensation than when
Death abruptly enters the social circle and
snatches a companion from the festive board,
in the midst of enjoyment, in full health, and in
the bloom of life. The death of Mr. Ker under
any circumstances, would always be s verely
felt by those who intimately knew him, but hia
sudden and unexpected departure from among
us heightens, tenfold, the tragic effect of the
calamity.
We, w*!o knew him well; who have to often
enriched our minds with the treasures of his in
tellect, and drawn from the fountains of his ex
haustless wit and humor so great a portion of
our happiness and amusement—we only cm be
sensible of his value while living, or realize the
magnitude of the loss, sustained by his deatl.—
Mr. Ker, as a friend and companion, had m^de
himself almost necessary to our happiness. In
grace and elegance of manners, and in personal
appearance, he was scarcely excelled. He pap-
sessed a mind of superior order, which united
brilliancy of fancy with solidity of judgment.—
No one was more conversant with polite litera
ture, and few could boast of a greater share of
the more solid acquirements. Mr. Ker had at
tained a conspicuous rank among the gentlemen
of his profession, and was rapidly rising to emi
nence. By his assiduity and talents he had just
straightened the road to fame and fortune, when
he fell in the midst of the journey of life, to
rise no more! But 1 forget my own griefs and
lay down my pen to weep for the sorrows of
others, when I think of his bereaved mother,
his sisters and brothers; when I think what ago
nies they endure and how many tears they will
yet shed on his untimely grave! He was the
best and most affectionate son and brother, and
never was a son ami brother more ardently lov
ed, or more deeply lamented.
The last words of Mr. Ker expressed more
on this subject thaa volumes of eloquence could
do. The instant he received the fatal load in
bis body, lie tel), and while falbng exclaimed,
“O, mv dear mother!” and never spoke more!
But I forbear. It is my duty to blunt, and not
to sharpen the sting of griefs already too keenly
felt. He is irrevocably lost, and but one reme
dy is left which can even palliate the grief
which afflicts his bereaved family—that rt rnedv
is religion. O, let us pour the balm of christi-
anity on our wounded hearts. Standing on the
rock of religions faith, let us look up from this
vale of tears, mid say “thy will be done.” Be
holding with resignation the wrecks which
strew the ocean of life, let us recognize, in eve
ry thing, the operations of infinite wisdom,

’.lie said Banks do pay specie for their
notes, on demand, and that they are justly
entitled to tlie highest credit arid standing;
ind that they are opposed to a suspension
♦f specie payments, and will be the laBt in
Ihe country that will agree to such a mea
sure. This communication is made to
prevent imposition, and to inform all per
sons who may have the paper of these
Banks, in any part of the Union, that they
may hold it as so much specie. Persons
emigrating anil travelling North, South,
or West would do well by taking the
note, of these Banks, as they will always
find them equal to specie, and often to
command a premium uf from 5 to 10 per
cent, for remittances to Baltimore, Phila

ture, and reports her being laden with dry goods
and wine from St. Thomas, bound to Aux Cayes.
In sight of which place she was captured.—
During the month of April there was a small
launch bound from Aux Cayes to .Tacmel with
seven Indigenes, who had on board 600 dollars
taking from the Key to Aux Cayes, they were
perceived by several of the laborers employed
in working there, and stopped; four ot them
agreed to try and capture the money: they pro
ceeded and armed themselves with sabres and
knives, and overhauled the boat: the crew being
unarmed they immediately killed 5 of them, the
remainder jumped overboard and swam ashore:
one lying in the boat as they supposed dead,
they threw him overboard, and though he had
received several cuts over his head and body,
he reached the shore and there laid five hours
until day light, when he was picked up by a
fisher-man, who took him to Aux Cayes: on his
arrival at the Key, the first man to assist him
out of the boat was one of the murderers. The
