The Bank of England was founded, and in-| corporated into a society, in I<jo4. By the I ' l ;,r • r then granted, it was laid down that the); j ;; ■ua ' einent. of the business of the Br*nt{ should b • conducted by a Governor, Deputy Governor, ; ! :.nd wenty-fbur Directors, annually chosen.

The Bank is restricted from engaging in any commer ial tr; ns .ctioii, except he ucann o m bills of exchange, and gold a. mi silver. i he Lank was prohibited in the charter above- 1 I mentioned from advancing any money to the I ji. iiiii monarch unless sanctioned by raraa-j 1 ■ „„ > t Ixueuc. la loQG the Bank was involved in ccnsidera-d hie diihc .ties, and was even obliged to suspend j| ; ( yi nt of its n< >t« s, which were at heavy tiis-d , (. u .1.

In Juno 1780, during the prevalence oi the | ue popery riots, the Bank incurred considerable ; d ager. The apprehensions then existing led * the precaution of placing a considerable nu ll my force within Tie interior of the establish-j r.aut, a practice which has been partially con tinued to the present day. T» t ’he most important epoch in the history| of the Bank is the Bank Restriction Act, which: s p vsed in 1797. It is remarkable, and per.| ’■ u.'s little known, that Mr. Pitt, when he resolv-i r . on t' : s bold measure, for which he had no; pr>. cedent to guide him, was so little aware of; iuciiity with which such a change could bc ! * -v m ’he circulating medium, and so fearful; - ue con' quenccs which his measure might o luce, that he prepared a large military force* * -' act itmnedia elv on the occurrence of vnv popular tumult, which, he apprehended, the effect of tins novel and decisive cx- F In a week, however, from the passing! b:!l. every thing went on ns Usual; and; * ,v ' " 1 ’ vs, was surprised to learn that coni-j m 1 operations could be carried on by a mc.j I Tun oi paper alone.

In 1820, a modification . concurrence of the Bank of England, in’that j! part ot the law of 1708 which prohibited the ■ I partnership of more than six persons to carry | on banking concerns. The modification then f inade was to allow a greater number tlian six ■ i persons to form a partnership bank, provided jh that it was not wi hiu 65 miles of London. In i 826 was prohibited the future issue of one j: pound notes. y In same year, and in order to supply the va- ! , jcuum occas oned by the failure or succession ofii inany couniry banks, the Bank of England! formed the plan of establishing branch banks in y various principal towns; o.nd at this moment |! : i[lß32] branch banks are established in Glou-ji; I coster, Manchcs’er, Birmingham, Leeds, Liver- jj' ! pool, Bristol, Exeter, NewcacTe-on-Tyne, Hull, ji ISorwicb, and some other places. i !

In that year it began Loji jssuc £lO iio’c?; in 17ii3, £5 notes; and in ■j - j March, 1797, it began to issue £l and £2 notes. ; l I he present amount of bank notes in circuia- !i • I Ton is about seventeen millions. !'

" • Gen. Sumter was not, as wo have heretoforeii: snp; o.sed, a native of this State, but of Virginia. 1 ’ G arly in iitb lie come to South Carolina, andj • |sa led m the upper country, which at that time !; ; was much harrassed by t!io hes ility of the Indi-( j ano. It would seem that lie then commenced | I his career of valour and usefulness: for wo find! . i that at the close of the Cherokee war, he ac-i , ! companied Oconos otali, or “;he Emperor,’ 5 to! , England; it being common at that time to in-j i(tucc ihe Indian Chiefs *o visit the moth .r coun-li 1 ry, for the purpose of confirming their friend, j I . si.ip to the coloms s. Cm returning with Deo- j nostokih to iiis homo in 1763, General, then j Mr. Sutnlcr, found aniongs - the Indians one Baron Dos Johnncss, a Trench Canadian, who npoke s ven cf the Indian languages, and whom m suspected of being an incendiary son' !o ex | cite the tribes to iios ili y against their white nf'ighbours. Sumter, with his characterisiic! ' resolu ; on, arres ed tins individual, taking liim j sin le handed, in spite of the opposition of the ! Indians, and, at much personal risk, carrying j ; him prisoner ’o Fort Prince George cn the Ke- | howee. Hes Johnncss was afterwards sent to ! j Charleston, where he was examined, and tho’ his guilt was no: positively proved, ii was deem ed expedient io send him o England. I romGen. Sumter s 1- ter to the State Righ s; (Association in February last, wo learn that he 1 was in Charles on during the high exei emerii preceding the war of the Revolution, probably lin 177 I and 1775, a time to which the let.er reverts with great satisfaction, as the period, j when he enjoyed wi’h the old Whig party of| | Carolina, an interchange of the same senli j men s which animate the Eulliilers of the pre ■ sent day. Vv o next meet wi h the name of Sumter in the j ;l history of this State, in 1780. He had been pre ; viously a Colonel of one of the conTaen al regi-j mi n’s, and when in that year the Bri ish had overrun the State, he wotild not remain to sub i mit, but retired with other determined patriots into IS of rh Carolina. During his absence, his ‘ house was burned, and his family tinned out of I doors by tlie Bri ish. The little band of exiles ; in Nor h Carolina chose him their leader, and at ‘ * I ! their bead he returned to face tho victorious : ! enemy. When this gallant incursion was made,!! : | tie people of the Siate had for .he most part j| ; abandoned the idea of resistance, and military j| || operations had be- n suspended for n-„ arly two;| ! mon’hs. His followers were in a great measure! •! unfurnished with food, clothing, and ammuni-r : lion. Farming utensils wore worked up by j common blacksmiths •<? supply them w ith arms, d Household pewter was melted into bullets; and] a thev sometimes engaged with nut three rounds' jj to a man. #With a volunteer force thus equipped, he commenced hostilities, and broke the quiet ofj j subjection into which Carolina seemed to be! | sinking. ' On the 12lh July, 1780, lie attacko.i a British ; detachmen; on the Catawba,supported by a con ; siderable force of tories—and totally rou cd and dispersed tb.e whole force, killing Capt. Hack, ■ who commanded tho British, and Col. Ferguson.: w hc commanded the Tories, Animated by this f success, the inhabitan s flocked to hts standard ; j ■ ; anc j being reinforced to Ti- number of TOO men, ij he made a spirired attack on the Bri ish poet at | • ' Rocky Mount, but was repulsed. Marching! • I! immediately in quest of other tk tachna ntsof.hej ui enemy, in eight days as er, he a’tacked the post ;! a , t h e Hanging Rock, where h - annihd ;ted the, ' Prince of Wales’ Regimen’, and pu: to flight, a . large body of Tories from iSorth Carolina. ■ When -Sumter's men went into this ba tie, not .''one of them had more than ten bullc s. and to - i wards the close of the fight, the anus and am 3'' munition of the fallen British and I ones w ore ii used by the Americans. While the American army, under tne unfor- I tunate Gates, v.ere approacliins.Camden, Col. ' Sumter was on the west hans ot the W a.eree. i ; u « trim his forces, and indulging the hope cf eii intercepting the British on their way tothar.ee. - on, as thcii retreat or defeat was confidently i expected. He here formed a plan for reducm ! t British redoubt at Wateree Ferry, and inier- I cep inar a Convoy < n the road from Charleston : o Camden, in both of which objects he fully i succeeded —and the news of his success reach jed Gates, while that cfiicer was retreating after i bis defeat, fleering of the disaster at Camden I retreated with his prisone s and spoils up ''the Watcroe to Fishing Creek, where hr 1 was overtaken by Tarleton on the IS tin The Americans had been four days without provi sions or sleep, and their vedette? being exhaust ed, suffered them to be surprised; the conse quence was their total rout and dispersion. The loss which Sumter sustained was, however, soon repaired, for in three days lie rallied his troops, and was again at the head of a respectable force! At the head of his little band—augmented from time to time by reinforcements of volunteers, no kept the field unsupported , while, for three months, there was no regular or Continental ar my in the s;atf„ ile shifted his position fre quently in the vicinity of Broad, Enoreo and I Truer Rivers, maintaining a continual skirmish mg with the enemy, beating up their quarters, : cutting oil their supplies, and harrassing them ! by incessant incursions and alarms. On the 12th of November he was attacked at Broad River by a corps of British infantry and | dragoons under Major Weyms. He utterly de-h leafed them and took iheir commander prison-' er. On the 20ih of November he was attacked at Black Stocks, on Tiser River, by TaHeton, t; whom he repulsed after a severe and obstinate ij action. Tarleton claimed victory—on which! Cornwallis wrote to him I wish you joy ofji yo.’.r success, hut wish it had not cod yea sc'[ ■much” The loss of the Americans was trifling!; compared to that of the British, but Gen. Sum-fi ter received a wound in the shoulder, that for jj several months interrupted his gallant career, jj He was placed, we are told, in a raw bullock’s ji hide, suspended be 4 ween two horses, and thus j carried by a guard of his men to the mountains. • A few days afer, Cornwallis wrote to Tarleton, i 14 I shall be very glad to bear that. Sumter is in | condition to give you no farther trouble; h.fi| certainly has been bur greatest plague i t this j country On the l‘Fh of January, 1781, the old Con gress adopted a resolution of thanks to General Sumter, for his eminent services. Afer the battles fought by Gen. Greene, and the departure of Cornwallis for Virginia, Gen. Sumter, who hod just recovered from his wound, collected another force, and early in February. 1721, crossed the Conga re o and dcs roved duo magazines at Fort Granby. On the advance of Lord Ravvdon from Camden, Sumter retreat ed : and immediately menaced another BrLHh j post. Two days afer he defeated an escort of | 'he enemy, and captured the wagons and s‘orcs j which they were conveying from Charles nn to j Camden. He next, with 3-30 horsemen, swam | across the Santee, and advanced on Fort Wat son, but retreated on the approach cf Lord Rawdon to its relief. On his return to Black River he was attacked by Major Fraser with a very large force. Fraser lost twenty men and retreated. Having thus cheered the spirits of | the people cf the ccn’ro of the S ate, he retired ■ j o ihe borders of North-Caroiina. In March, ! 1781, he raised three regiments of regulars. | ! Fits previous enterprises had all been executed j by militia. He subsequently took part in the ; | military movements in the lower country, until i I the close of the war, and co-operating with Ma ! ricn, struck many successful blows at the Bri tish, and was distinguished in the several actions which were fought between Orangeburg end | Chariest! n. After the peace, Gen. Sumter was a dialing guished member of the State Convention, in which he voted with those who opposed the adop tion of the Federal Constitution, on the ground that the States were not sufficiently shielded 1 y it against federal usurpation. He was after wards selected one of the five members from this State in the House of Representatives ofthe first Congress under the Constitution, and con tinued to represent South-Carolina in the natlori ial councils until 1808. Hd uniformly support led the principles of Jefferson, and contributed I zealously to their glorious triumph in ’93 andj i ’99. He took an active part with the other I j members from this State. in denouncing apeti-i tion for the abolition of slavery, which waspre-i 'seated from the Quakers of Pennsylvania. He! I voted against the ref rence ol the petition to a committee, but Mr. Madison, and other South jern members, having respectfully voted for the I reference, the committee, though composed part ||h r of northern members, reported decidedly a j gainst the petition, declaring that Congress hadi ; no power in a matter reserved exclusively to the: jurisdiction of the States. In ’95 Gen. Sumter , was publicly insult' d by a federal mob, in the; ! Philadelphia theatre, because he refused to take! j‘ oil’ his hat or show some such token of servile : j respect, to President Adams. |j For many years, the veteran patriot has lived ;in retirement amid the respect ami affection of '(bis neighbors, and lab. !y we regret to learn, in !| limited circumstances. He retained, however. !j his fine spirit unbroken to the end, and at the age II of nearly a hundred years exhibited the cheer jl fulness and fire of youth. But a few weeks bs ijforo his death, he vaulted into his saddle with the j activity of a young man, and the faculties of the i mind retained their vigour as well as those of tire i body. The elevated con wo which he has pursued in 1 the prest-n* crisis of our liberties is well known. •! The spirit of the soldi or of’76 slowing unchilied d by the winters of a century, has blazed up into , a farewell radiance, to light the onward march • of his vounger compatriots o the rindicafion rfi those flights which he perilled ail to establish. .; He died in the faith of the State Rights an 1 g Free Trade Party, animating the zealous to •jj warmer zeal —exermg the listless—shaming .ij he backward —confirming he wavering: .and i| his last exertion to his young fellow-citizens. like ! that of Lis brother in arms, the illustrious Pinck. , ney, is“ to go ox. ” . j It is to be regretted that of a life so full of he , roic and romantic interest as that of Gen. Sum. f ter, the printed records arc so mea gre and gone .li it:l.—It is said, that ho himself write no % memoirs of his life, and that lie was very a versa tc relating his adventures. We are informed, however, that a gentlemen abundantly compe tent to the task, has been for some time prt par ing his biography, and we trust that the public 1 i will soon receive the benefit of his labours. I'coin the L. ncaster Herald. •Sale of a Wi c by her Hatband. til Carlisle, j On Saturday, the 7th April, the inhabitants of ih.s city witnessed the sale of a wife by her; jhusband, Joseph Thompson, who reside? in a 'small village about three mik-s from this city.—, Ko rents a farm cf about forty two or forty four j acr s, and was married at Hexham, in the year 1829, to his present wife.

When j spending an evening as usual, with his jovial 1 j companions, at a tavern, the conversation hap-j ipened to tarn on the excellencies and faults ofl their wives. -The husband just mentioned gave the highest cm omiums cf ins wife, saying she was all that was excelent, only that she was a d d methodist. “Notvvi hs'andingwhich,” said he, “such is her command of temper, that were 1 to take you, gentlemen, home at midnight, and order her to rise and get supper, she would be all submission and cheerfulness.” Thccom || pany looking upon tliis as merely a brag, dared j! him to make the experiment by a considerable wa il ger.

We were particularly pleased with tlie promptiiudc, distinctness, and perspicuity of < heir answers to the various ques tions propounded to them. We are convinced, j from the clear & discriminating manner in winch the examination was conducted, that her pupils wdl never receive vague and indistinct impres i sions of the several branches of education to j which their attention may bo given under her | direction. From what we have witnessed, we ■can assure the parents of the youthful females, who have been, or may be confidcded (o the in s: rucucn of Mrs. Leigh, that they will have no thing to unlearn; and"judging from the advance ment of her present pupils, that they will learn as much that is useful and drnamen’al as at any 0 her female Seminary in the State* or in any other State. W e cannot conclude the accoun ot the examination, (which has been superior to any wc have witnessed,) without congratulating; our fellow citizens ofthe Stab generally, upon the re-establishment of a female Seminary of learning, at the Cherokee Corner, in Oglethorpe County, winch promises to equal, if not excel that which formerly cxis ed at that place, and | sincerely hope that paren s who are desirbus of I giving their daughters an education, which may ; render them no f only useful members of society, 1 but ornaments ofthe community of which they may be members, will patronize th- infant Senr i nary, which cannot fail to reward in the most ; uoeral manner any patronatre thr v may b stow, ij it is necessary «.o add "hat the Junior Class ap |; neared to equal ad van‘age in the branches of j education, to which their attention had'be.cn di j; reeled, ’ j WM.
