The bill also provides for having appraisers
to estimate the value per square yard of such
goods as pay by the square yard, at the place

Growth of Silk.—It appears that tho F.ast-
India Company are likely to prove perfectly
successful in Uieir attempt to form a profitable
establishment in the island of St. Helena, for
the production of raw silk. A specimen has
recently arrived from that island, and it is
considered to be a very fine quality. It is en
tirely free from any disagreeable odour, which
speaks much in its favour. The mulberry trees
thrive remarkably well, and have a luxuriant
appearance. The slips, when planted, are
generally from one to two feet in length, and
in a single season they frequently attain a great
er height than ten feet. The climate and soil,
however disagreeable and fruitless in other re
spects, seetn in this instance to be propitious;
no doubt is entertained that sufficient food will
be procured to supply all the worms that can
be hatched.—In August last, the number of
worms in progress was 218,000; winch were
in a very healthy condition, and expected to
spin in a few days. By the common process
of nature the worms would multiply with great
rapidity ; but it appears that artificial means,
to accelerate the quickening of tho insects may
be advantageously had recourse to.—The ex
periment has been tried, and it is proved that
by steeping the eggs in wntcr heated to a cer
tain degree, they can be hatched at any peri
od.—-Vcic -Monthly Magazines

North Carolina Banks.—At a meeting of
the people of Granville, held in Oxford, N. C.
on tlie 5th of February, a committee was ap
pointed, with instructions, to draw up a report
upon the conduct of the Banks of North Ca
rolina ; and to propose such measures, as in
their discretion might seem best, to protect the
people of North Carolina against the improper
practices of said banks. In pursuance of these
measures, the people of Granville assembled
on Tuesday tho 4th inst. it being the second
day of the term of their Superior Court. The
Court adjourned in (lie afternoon to make wav
for the meeting, when the people immediately
filled the Court-house, to the number of five
hundred or more: the crowd being so great,
thqt many persons found it difficult to make
their way into the house. Horace Burton, F.sq.
presided, and the meeting called to order, a
member of the committee rose, and after a few
explanatory remarks read a long report, con
cluding with the following resolutions :
1st. Rcsolrsd. by the people of Granville,
in general meeting assembled, 'flint the banks
of North Carolina have violated their charters.
2nd. Resolved, That the 6aid hanks, in vio
lating their charters, have forfeited all their
privileges and powers held under them, and
that consequently, they are at the mercy of the
people and the legislature.
3d. Resolved, That the evils inflicted by the
said banks, on the people of North Carolina,
have increased, are increasing, and ought to
lie resisted ; and that it seriously behoves the
people of North Carolina to take measures
for their protection.
4th. Resolved, That an independent legisla
ture is necessary to the safety of tho state,
and that we will vote for such men only, ns
shall he pledged to bring the hanks to a strict
account.
5th. Resolved, That our brethren in other
counties in North Carolina, he and they are
hereby invited to hold public meetings, and
adopt resolutions on this subject.
6th. Resolved, That the chairman of this
meeting appoint four delegates, and be him
self a fifth, to attend a general meeting of the
delegates,*from all the counties of N. C. to he
held at Raleigh or some central position this
spring, on the subject of these resolutions.
7lh. Resolved, That tho other counties of
N. C. be, and lltey are hereby requested to
appoint delegates to said meeting, and give
notice thereof in the neu papers.
The report and resolutions were heard with
profound attention, an! were adopted unani
mously. The meeting adjourned.

FOR THE ATHENIAN.
Mr. Editor,—Thu insertion of new, and the trans
position of original words in compositions of praise and
egotism, often convey more correct ideas, and, ot course,
lore justice, though rigorous and severe, to the ob
jects eulogised. Observing in one of your last numbers
poetical extract, whoso beauty I much admired, hut
whose truth was a matter of considerable doubt, I have
conscientiously made the following alterations and ad-
iitions.
A WOMAN’S IIEAUT.
“Alas that man should ever” bring
Vows to so false “ a shrine,” so light a thing,
“ As woman’s heart.”
And “what is Woman’s Heart? A thing”
Whence trifles without number “spring.”
A pointed “harp,” from which in vain,
We long to catch one single strain ;
“ A world whose” senseless “scenes are fraught”
“ With the” changeless “dreams of” naught;
A treacherous “ Imk ” of beauteous form,
Foundering with hopes in life’s first storm.
“ Wnat is its love ?” A morning “ dream,”
A shooting “star,” the glow-worm’s beam ;
No heat, no genial fire is there
To warm the heart of chill despair.
An ivy-blossom on the heath,
Though fair to view, its taste is death,
A poisonous insect dangerous grown,
In some fair rose Hwere death to own.
“ Wliat is its hate ?” A gloomy cloud,
In vernal sky, when all abroad
As sunshine, melody, and love,
A vesture in the plumage of the dove.
A se rpent ’neath some flowers bright,
Concealed alone from lover’s sight—
“ Alas that ” thoughtless “man should ever” bring
Vows to so false “a shrine,” so dork a thing.
“And what is its despair?” Ruined health
In changing natural forms by stealth ;
This dangerous evil alone destroys
Its natural appetite for joys;
This has ruined a thousand hearts
Where one has felt keen misery’s darts—
Though despair’s fell power in anger falls,
It ne’recau pierce through whitc-oak walls.
