Vi,rk as he told Dr. Collins, tb l-Mi I shares • dlin.s A, demon owned together, with Mr. M inin’s 20'J sinus, paid them back the amount they had paid into the bank as capital, and 15.000 dollars picmiuin, which makes j the sum o/65,000 dollars ; that h< afterwards pur-! chased from the gei.tbnw :j ab >v. named the remain, ing m i shares, and paid them back the capital which they had paid in, amounting to $65,000. Dr. Collins further states that the original «to;k itolders, meaning hiniH. It and o’hers were indebted to th:• bank §25,001), which sum they paid as a premium lor tin- charter; that Mr. Ellis’ ssumed the paytn-ml of this $!5,00 f, mid re- I licvcd the old stockholders. X r.v, ;i this statement is proved, the presumption will be, that fir. Kills instead ot putting back the capital which he pai l out or allowed to be withdrawn from the bank hy those who *dd him their stock, lias not cv ■ n put his note or notes in tin- bank to represent it. It is certain the money was never put back, or the bank would not now be deficient. These; several sums of money, which it is presumed, wan; ta ken from tin- means ol the bank, amount as you will per ceive to one hundred and sixty.five thousand dollars. This is given you ns a statement trom Dr. Collins, who nays he will be able to prove it. .Mr. Ellis admitted to me some ten d.ivs before bis death, that lie discounted Ins own .md Kills, liolwel!

Tin* directors of the Central Hank, in presenting to the legislature their fourth at mu d report, have the honor to state, th it the tables herewith communicated, and of fered bv them as a part ol this report, will show the ac tion of the Hoard on the several subjects they relate to. Table A. will show the general state of the Hank on the sih lay of November, lull'd. Table H. the am unit ol principal due the state on sun dry debts on the first Monday in November, 11, and on the fir i M md iy in November, 1832. Table C. tin; am Hint received during the year from the sales of public property, lor which certificates were issued to the purchasers, subject to forfeiture on certain conditions; ami Table D. tjio annual distribution by loans in the several counties ol the slate. At the last session of the legislature, a resolution was passed, authorizing the If i.ird to appoint a person to t ike charge ol a ponton ol the old claim's ot the ,-aatagainst certain individuals whose residence is unknown to the Hoard. Tnis resolution "has rein lined inoperative, the b i ird believing alter due i xaniinaiion. that the claims allude 1 to have received from tne.r predecessors all the attention this resolution requires. The important interests involved in the outstanding debts due the state, and the lands which have been sold and forfeited for non-payment, have been duly attended to by the board. Hy the existing laws the reverted pro perty can In; s>l I only in ihe county in which it lies. Tu.tt portion ol this properly lying in the towns of Ma con and C dombiis, was sold by order of the board in ls:U. in the presence ot one ct their officers, who was dtr> etc Ito attend the silts. The remainder, scattered through many counties, and in some cases, of but little value, h ive thus far rem fined unsold ; the b > ird deeming it imprudent to order sales at which they were unable to attend, or to spare an officer of the institution for the purpose. 1: the legislature should deem it important to ellm-t sales of this property, the board suggest the p tss ingot a 1 iw ordering sales to be held at two or more con ven; nit p huts (or the whole properly n question. At these sale- a degree of competition favorable to the state’s interest, might be expected, and an extensive pro perty no: even paying taxes to the state, would pass into private hamls. The Hoard, with some hesitation, call the attention ol the legislature to the necessity of allowing an addi tiorml otli -er. to assist in performing the various and growing labours of the b ink. Toe duties required of our officers are at present arduous in the extreme. It is obvious they cannot be performed for a great length ot time by tlie same persons; and when it is known that the requisition of the Cherokee territory will add greatly to these labours, the necessity of an additional officer forces itself irresistibly on the mind. Hy the report of the General -tale of the Dank, it is shown that executive warrants, amounting to §1)2,660 ~-k have been taken up by the bank and remain unpaid. Hy existing laws these warrants will be paid at the Treasury as soon as the ncees-try funds are received. The Hoard conceive that in taking up these warrants, they have performed an imperious duty. They are not tmapprised of the responsibility of thus using the funds of the bank; but ti ler the matures! reflection, they have been enabled to liestow on it, they are tin mimous !v of opinion, that under the circumstances of the ease, they have pursued the only course which could have been justified. The payments mule on these warrants have absorbed the funds which otherwise might have been loaned on bills of exchange, thus greatly lessen ing the power of the bank to accommodate the citizens with loans, and in a corresponding degree lessening the profits of the year. During the current year, the Bank of 51 aeon stopped payment, with a loss of credit so great as to render its bills of but little value to the holders. At the time this disaster occurred, tins institution had in its vaults oniv one hundred and eight dollars of the bills of this bank. Since that time, bv the decision of the Judge of the Oe mulgee circuit, they have been compelled to receive from the Sheriff ot Bibb county, one hundred and eigh ty.six dollars more, which in ;kes the amount now on hand two hundred and ninety-four dollars. It lias been the desire o: the Board to carry into effect the whole intention ot the Legislature, in establishing the bank: and they have considered the supply of a due proportion of the circulating medium one of peculiar im portance. They have, however, found this objei t attend. •■I w-.th some difficulty- By the charter of tins institu tion, the Board of Directors are authorized to issue incir own bills to the amount of the Inks Kiev may hold ol the chartered banks of this state. Os this privilege tin iGard have but partially availed themselves. In the an. nu ®l distributions by loans, they have paid out tiie bills of c ’-u-r banks, except such as wore payable in Savannah or Aiigiista. By this course the issues ot their own bills nave been restricted to a sum but little beyond the a .: of specie and the United States Bank Bills in the ir ' s ‘Os. Gould the Board have kept in circulation the Li ”S thus issued, they would have taken great pleasure •n continuing a course so liberal to the banks of the * :at c. Hat the high credit attained by the btllx of this j funk, rondeiing them current in the banks of -avwmah, i tia.citv, or at the North, to obtain them for remittance. ‘ 1 1 *' B point they ceased to circulate, being received at |* e banks and returned to us tor payment. This process as been so rapid, that in spite of our unceasing elforts Keep up toe amount ot our bills in circulation, they ave constantly returned on us. On the Bth of October, our b'-lls in circulation amounted to §363.379. On r» C srSt,5 rSt , -^t )nl ' I>3 they were reduced to §221.850. > ine loans made in that year, previous to the 13th of otay, they had again increased to §256 Bv the *muig Spring, 3d of March, 1331, our currency was! agm ; reduced to §112.512. By ihe 1-Uh of April we hid again increase lit t . §235.308. Tim spring of the prvetit v- tr, April the on, present ! us with a state ment ol 8.M.0J1 in circulatin'’. Tins sum was by the 17di ot May inereilwi to §lkd.2lo. Our payments (hi ring tile present year have still kept no with the former txp< rienec of tie- !» urtk. an 1 o . the srh of November, die date of tins communication, out circulation is again re duced to §96.70-1. Having ,v,tisfi. •! iiem-elvcs by th s amp c experte • • . that tinner site it a system, the bills of this institution -.v.not be made to form a rightful pro portion of the circulating medium of tiie coun-ry, the Board on the Ith day of October, passed the following order, viz. 11. - lived. That from and after Monday the 15th m-larr. the following articles be adopted by this bank, lor t'.c r. gelation of its intercourse with the seve ral bmk> of this staff. 1. The notr-s of ail the chartered banks of this state the Bmk of Macon excepted, will be received in all payments, and also 0.1 deposit, provided, the individual or company offi nng a deposit agrees to receive in pay iiw lit of his or tin .r checks, such notes as are current at the tint* of presenting said checks. 2. This bank will not issue the notes of other banks but in payment of checks drawn on deposits. 3. An agent will be sent to the several banks in the state at such time- as the Directors in: y determine, for the purpose of making exchanges and settlements. Resolved, '1 tat n copy of tiie above regulations be sent o each ot the banks in this state. By the operation of this order, the Board expect to be able to kc pin circulation, a reason. lilr proportion ot tiie bills ot the Central Bank.

The prices te day are somewhat reduced by intelligence from a broad—say one f.cirth of a cent. Sales from 104 to 10 f —principal sales of prime cotton at 10}. Considerable cotton is now coming in and business is becoming lively. Yesterday about 800 bales w-re received. CHARLESTON, Nor. 15. The Marketts.— Since Monday last, the salbs 6f cotton have reached near 1500 bale.-, which ni.'il ps :he T tnl amount disposed of so far this week, about 230'i bales—of which the lowest sale effected w:\s at !I \ o nts. About 6U9 bales brought 12 cents, and the gi r erff range es the balance was from 111 to 11 cts. <.*n Mondav, ;md during the lorcnoon of Tuesday, the der.it nd was verv go->d. but since that time less eagerness hr. t been observed among purchasers, a number of vessels having completed thvir loading. The arrivals are st 11 limited, but we nnv expect that planters will forward their crops very t xpeditiouslv, as soon as they arc informed of the high prices which have been paid during the last few days, and that tire market will be well supplied in the coarse of a short time. N FAVORLEA AS, \«»v. 10.— The Cholera is f ub- ; sluing, and the community rliticr themselves that a law j days more of the clear, cold, frosty weather we now en jov. will dispel! every vestige of it. We consider lie Yellow Ferer as d me with tor this season, already p- o. I»!e begin to wear clmerful countenances, and we rust that soon absent citiz. i s. and all w o may desire to visit the city, may be abb- to do so without apprehension. 45 ■* are sorry to hear that the inhabitants along the river banks arc so panic struck av to avoid all conununic ition with the steam boats. We do not believe here th r fire disease is contagious, an i consider ourselves, indivo nal iv. to be as little liable to contract rt as though we had j lied to ana' remained in the country. Tire Missisi'ppi remains at 12 feet G inches below high water mark. The Market. —As usual, we notice particularly, tire several articles produced in the valle y of the Missis-i >pi, and its tributary streams ; but in consequence of th i ca lamity that has afflicted oar citv during tre last two weeks, we can give little information other 'man to say that they arrive, are stored, and are for sale. Individu als, .anil particularly families, have been too much oc ; tpt cd with self-preservation to think of buying any more than would suffice for the wants of the moment. Pu rch asing for exportation, or on speculation, was out of the question ;rhr wants and anticipations of to-morr/vr have been little thought of, for none could say what to-rnor row would bring forth - ; consequently, every tint gin the way of trade has been stagnant, anil was if not that the Shipping List, the Import and Export Tabic t require correction, arid that trie Cotton market has been unusual ly animated no doubt to fill foreign orders' \\f. and the commercial community, could well have dispensed with any remarks whatever on the subject.

Extract o f a letter from Liverpool, dated Sept. 23, 1832. “ The great activity in our Cotton Market which we noticed in our last respects of the loth and 24'h inst. has entirely subsided, owing to the apprehension that the long pending ncgociatibns about the Belgian question would end in immediate hostilities; this opinion has had an un. favorable effect upon business in general, but more par ticularly upon the Cotton Market: it his for the present put a total stop to jlte operations of speculators; the trade having lately taken large supplies, have also for the last few days suspended their purchases, but owing to the extensive transactions in the-earlv part of the week the sales amount to 18730 bales, whilst the imports are only 162 I b dcs. leaving for our stn- k 215300 hales, ot which 192 000 bales Atm riean agairfst on the 28th -opt. 1831, 307.500, of which 203,000 hales were American. We do not notice any alteration in prices, though in many instances n disposition has been evinced to sub mit to a small reduction, on last week’s rates to effect sales. It appears by the accounts from the Manufacturing Districts that the late improvement in Yarns and Goods has also in a great measure subsided, from the same a lartn respecting political affairs.” Oct. Ist, the market to-day is very heavy-, and holders evidently anxious to effect salts at sonic little reduction. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET , Saturday Sept. 29.—There has he.cn no change to remark in the prices of American or Brazil cotton since our last ; hut the East India and Egyptian are about jd per lb. high er. During the earlier part of the week, the demand continued very extensive, and the tendency of the mar ket seemed favorable to the seller, but yesterday and to-day the business transacted lias been more limited, and the market closes with less spirit generally, and. in some cases, with a slight reduction in prices. The sab s of the week amount to 18,723 bales, of which 4,036 bales American, 7110 Egyptian, and 333 Pernams have been taken on speculation. The imports are 4,628 hales. The sales to-day amount to 1230 bales, in American descriptions from 6 'd to 71 o'. Monday Evening, Oct. I—There has been a quiet market on Saturday and to-day, and only about 3000 bags sold on the two days, at forme* - prices. Daring, Brother's <j- Co's, views of Cotton on the 22 I September-. “ COTTON. —The short supply from the U. States and Brazil has had a favourable effect, as has the reviv-- al of trade in France, prices in consequence have gra dually advanced, and us the consumption is going on at the usual rate, the stocks will probably be reduced at the close of the year below what they have been forma lly years, we should not therefore be surprised to see a farther improvement ; hot for next ysar, unless some extraordinary event should take place, the supplies from Bombay, E pt, and Brazil, will be greatly increased, and with a • ->od crop in the United .States, low prices ■ Seem inevitable.'' “ We see no reason to expect very high prices for any article while the question of the Bank charter, and the measures of the new parliament continue uudeter- | mined.” !
