This move, will doubtless determine most of the Banks in the South to adopt an early day for the resutnp (ion of specie payments. Another Murder. We learn font the Columbia (S C) Telescope of Saturday last, that the body of Mr C Boyle, 8 citizens of that district, was found in the woods near his plantation, on the Satiinlay ptevious, in a condition which shewed ho had been beaten to death.

S. Senate. They requite from those accepting the bets, a certificate that the money is not the money of tho Government, and that it has nut been procured from certain office holders, from the funds of the government in their hands, to be used for this purpose.
