city to purchase and hold all kinds of real estate
and all kinds ofgoods unless otherwise restrained
by act ot parliament, and also to grant, demise,

The management is entrusted to a Governor,
Deputy Governor, and 24 Directors, elected year
ly from the members ofthe Company duly quali
fied.
No dividend to be made, save from the profits
of the Institution.
Ihe ' lovernor. Deputy and Directors must be
either native horn or naturalized subjects, and
must have in their own names respectively, stock
to the amount ot£4ooo, £3OOO, and each direc
tor £3OOO.
Thirteen or more of the governors and direc
tors (of whom the governor or deputy must al
ways be one) are, a quorum to manage the affairs
ofthe Company,
i Every elector must have in his own name, and
to his own use £5OO capital stock, and can only
give one vote.
They arc prohibited from engaging in any
kind or sort of commercial undertaking other
than in dealing in bills of exchange, and in goli
and silver. It is permitted to make advances on
hypothecation of goods or other merchandize,
and sell the same if unredeemed at public auc
tion.
Its charter has been extended at various peri
ods. and it now holds one which will expire in
1855, with a proviso that it may be cancelled at
a year’s notice to that effect given on the Ist of
August, 1845.
The amount of capital has been increased at
various times for services rendc ed to government
until 1816, when it reached its maximum of£ 14.-
533.000 stg. or about $65,000,000; but at the last
renewal of its character it was reduced to £lO,-
914.750 stg. orabout $48,000,000.
During its existence it has been run upon se
riously at several important epochs of British His
tory, and on the 26th of February, 1 797, an or
der in council was issued, prohibiting any fur
ther payments in specie, which continued until
thefirstot May, 1821, when specie payments
were renewed,
i The amount of rash kept on hand is not regu
i latcd by any parliamentary enactment, but the
i directors endeavor as a general rule always to have
as much coin and bullion in their coffers as may
together amount, when exchange is at par, to a
third part of the bank's liabilities including de
posits* as well as issues.
Its issues arc governed by what is called the
“action of the public;” that is, when the exchange
is favorable, or when bullion is sent to the bank
to be exchanged for notes the circulation is in
creased. but on the contrary, when the exchan
ges arc unfavorable or notes are sent in to a large
amount to be exchanged for bullion, then the
circulation is immediately curtailed.
The bank as a general rule, endeavors to avoid
discounting for private individuals, leaving that
branch of business as much as possible in the
hands of private bankers, but there are times
Jwhen its discounts in this way are very great.
The directors, however, prefer making advances
or loans to government upon security of certain
branches ofthe revenue, and in the purchasa of
exchequer bills and bullion. The raw ol inter
' est charged by the bank is generally above the
; market rale.
Previously to 1759 the bank issued no notes
i for less than £2O. She began the issue of £lO
notesin that year, and £5 notes in 1793. and of
£1 and £2 notes in 1797. The issue of the
latter ceased in 1821.
All accounts kept with individuals are called
‘•drawing accounts;” those with whom they are
opened being entitled to draw checks upon them
and to send the bills and drafts in their favor to be
presented by the bank; exactly as if they dealt
with private bankers. There is no fixed sum
"Vvith which an individual must open a drawing
account, nor is there any fixed sum which the
bank requires him to keep at his credit to indem
nify them for their trouble in answering bis drafts.
A person having a drawing account may
have a discount account, but no person is per
mitted to keep the latter without having the for
mer.
No hill of exchange drawn in the country is
discounted by the Bank in London . under 20/.
—nor London note under loti/.—nor for a longer
date under existing regulations than for three
months.
The bank has established several branches.
Both drawing and discounting accounts are open
ed at these. Applications of persons wishing
discount accounts, arc forwarded for approval on
every Saturday to the parent bank. The answer
is received in about ten days. When approved
good bills may be discounted at the branch with
out reference to the parent bank. Two approved
names are required upon every bill discounted.
The dividends on any of the public funds which
are payable at the bank, may be received at the
branch, by persons who have opened their draw
ing accounts, after signing powers of attorney for
that purpose. No charge is made except the ex
pense of the power of attorney and the postages.
Purchases and sales of every description of gov
ernment securities arc effected by the branch at a
charge of i per cent., which includes all expen
ses. The branches grant bills on London paya
ble at 21 days without acceptance for sums of
10/.and upwards: Persons having drawing «c
-counlsata branch, may order money to be paid !
in the bank aF London to their credit at the |
branch, or vice versa, without expense. A j
branch is only required to change notes issued anil j
dated at its place of location. They do not j
change the notes of the bank in London, nor re
ceive them in payment but as a courtesy. No
note issued by a branch can exceed the sum of
500/., nor be for a less amount than 5/.
As remarks are occasionally made claiming
greater security to the public from the English
system of private banking than from our own
incorporated institutions, we subjoin from the
same work the amount of bankruptcies of private
bankers, during a period of 22 years, from 1809
to 1830, both inclusive. They amount to 311,
i beirgan average oIT4 a year. These areexclu
j sive of many stoppages on which no commission
| /of bankruptcies was issued.

original manuscript in the possession of a gentlc
-1111111 o( this town, Ii gives us an account of a
brilliant alfair in our Revolution, drawn up at the
time by the duel actors in it, and expressed in the
plain strong style that belonged to the period.
This, with very many other battles in the South,
have never attracted the applause, or attained the
historical notoriety, which have attended the Re
volutionary incidents of similar magnitude in
other quarters—and indeed, so much more has
been written concerning the Revolutionary inci
dents ol the North and so much more been done
by the people and the States in that section to
commemorate and signalize them, that the present
generation in the neighborhood of the Cowpcns
and King’s Mountain know more about Hunker
Hill and Lexington, and more of Starke and
Putnam than of Pickens or Campbell.
——No monument, inscription stone,
Their race, their deeds, their names, almost
unknown
We have always thought that those battle
fields in our Slate which were illustrated by the
gallantry and devotion of our ancestors, should be
marked by permanent mementos, at the cost of
the State—every one from Fort Moultrie to King’s
Mountain.-—And he who would carry such a
measure through the Legislature, would himself
deserve a monument.
“ A State of the proceedings of the Western
Army, from the 26th day of September, 178il, to
the reduction ol Major Ferguson and the Army
under his command.
On receiving intelligence that Major Ferguson
had advanced up as high as Gilbert Town in
Rutherford County, and threatened to cross the
Mountains to the Western Waters
Col William Campbell, with four hundred men
from Washington County of Virginia ; Col. Isaac
Shelbys with two hundred anil forty men from
Sullivan county ol North Carolina and Lieut.
John Picvlcr wlin two iiumum ami ivnqj
Washington county of North Carolina, assembled
at Wattauga, on the 251 h day of September,
where they were joined by Col. Charles M’Dowell
with one hundred and sixty men from the coun
ties of Burk and Rutherford, who had fled before
the enemy to the Western Waters. We began
our march on the 26th, and on the 30th we were
joined by Col. Cleveland, on the Cataha River,
with 350 men from the Counties of Wilkes and
Surry. No one officer having properly a right
to the command in chief, on the first of October
we despatched an express to Major General Gates,
informing him of our situation, and requested him
to send a General Officer to take the command of
the whole. In the mean time Col. < 'ampbell was
chosen to act as commandant, till such General
Officer should arrive. We marched to the Cow
pens on llroad River in South Carolini, where
we were joined by Col. James Williams with
four hundred men, on the evening of the 6th Oc
tober, who informed us that the enemy lay en
camped some where near the « hcrokee ford of
Broad River, about 30 miles distant from us ; by
I* efkliripil nf thn tf.l.s stflv.w !* . I
thought advisable to pursue the enemy that night,
with nine hundred ol the best horse men, and
leave the weak horse and foot men to follow us
last as possible. We began our march with 900
of the best men about 8 o’clock tlicsume evening,
and marching all night came up with ihe enemy
about 3 o’clock P. M. on the ?th. who lay en
camped on the Top of King’s Mounlttin 13 miles
north of the Cherokee ford, in the confidence that
they could not be forced from so advantageous a
post. Previous to the attact, on onr march the
following disposition was made; Col. Shelby’s
ridgmont formed a column in the centre of the
left; Col. Campbell's an other on the
right; part of Col. < leveland’s ridgment headed
in front by Major Winston, aud Col. Sevier’s
rivgment. formed a large column on the right
Wing; the other part of Col. Clcvelond’s ridg
ment headed by Col. Cleveland himself, and Col.
Williams’ ridgment, composed the left wing; in
this order we advanced and got within a quarter
of a mile of the enemy before we were discovered.
Col. Shelby’s & Col Campbell’s ridgments be
gan the attact, and kepi up a fire on the enemy,
while the right and left wings were advancing
forward to surround them, which was done in
about five minutes and the fire became general
all around ; the engagement lasted an hour and
five minutes, the greatest partofwhieh time an
heavy and incessant fire was kept up on both sides,
our men in some parts whe-e the regulars fought
were oblidged to give way a small distance, two
or throe times but rallied and returned with ad
ditional ardor to the attact. The troops upon the
right having gained the Summit of the Eminence
oblidged the enemy to retreat along the top of the
ridge to where Col. Cleveland commanded, and
were there stopt by his leave men ; a flag was im
mediately hoisted by Captain Dcpoislurc then
commanding officer (Major Ferguson having been
killed a little before) for a surrender; our fire im
mediately ceased, and the enemy laid down their
arms, the greatest part of them charged, ami sur
rendered themselves prisoners to us at discretion.
It appears from tbeir own provision returns for
; that day, foun-.l in their ramp, that their whole
I force consisted of eleven bundled and twenty five
: men—out of which they sustained the following
| loss. Os the regulars, one Major one i aptain,
I two Sergents and fifteen privates killed, thirty-five
I privates wounded left on the ground not able to
I inarch. Two Captains, four Lieutenants, three
Ensigns, one Surgeon, five Sergents, three cor
porals, one drummer and 49 privates taken pris
eners; lass of the tories, Two Colonels, three
Captains, and 201 privates killed ; one Major and
127 privates wounded and left on the ground amt
able to march ; One Colonel, twelve Captains,
eleven Lieutenants, two Ensigns; one (Quarter
Masti r, one Adjutant, two Coinmissarys, eighteen

Ax onn Family.— ln the reign of King Wil
liam the Thi'd, there resided at Ipswich a family
distinguished by the name of the Odd Family.
Every event, remarkably good or bad, happened
to this family on the odd day of Ihe month, and
every member had something odd in his or her
person, manner and behaviour. The husband's
name was Peter, and his wier’s Kahah ; they had
seven children, all Imys, viz: Solomon. Roger,
Matthew, Jonas, David, and Ezekiel. The hus
band had but one leg, his wife but one arm So
> lomon was born blind of the left eye, and Roger
| lost sight by accident.—James had his ear bit off
in a quarrel and Matthews was bom with only
three fingers on he right band. Jonas bad ihe j
slump foot and David was hump-backed. All 1
these except David, were rei. arkablv short, while ;
Ezekiel was six feet one inch high at the age of |
nineteen. The stump footed Jonas and hump-I
backed David got wives of fortune, but no girl in
the borough would list n o headdresses of their
brothers. The husbands liair was as black as jet,
and the wife's remarkably while; yet all the
children’s hair was red: The Hus'.mul was killed
by accidentally falling into a deep pit in the year
i- 7 j* • ant * w | ,i ‘ r<,,us >iig all kind of sustenance,
died five days after him. In the year 17(13, Eze
kiel enlisted as a grenadier, and although he was
wounded in 33 places he recovered. Roger.
James, Matthews, Jonas and David, it appears by
the church Registers, died in different places, and
were buried on the same day, in the year 1 714;
and Solomon and Ez' Kiel were drowned together
in crossing the Thames in the year 1733.—Lon

The Empress Josephine amu the Svbii..
We have just ended the perusal of an anecdote
which this distinguished female has related of her
childhood’s day#:
One day while taking her usual walk she ob
served a number of negro girls gathered around an
old woman engaged in telling their fortunes, and
drew neat to observe their proceedings. The old
sihvl on beholding her uttered a loud exclamation,
and seizing her hand almost by force, appeared
to be under the greatest agitation. Amused at
these absurdities. Josephine allowed her to pro
ceed, saying. “so you discover something extra
ordinary in my destiny ?” “ Ves.” “Is happi
ness or misfortune to be my lot?” “ Misfortune.
Ah, stop, and happiness too !” “ You take eare
not to commit yourself my good dame. Your
oracles are not the most intelligible.” “I am n>*i
permitted to render them more clear,” saivl the
woman, raising her eyes with a mystcriwifl ex
pression towards heaven. “ But to- the point,”
Josephine replied, for her cuitosity begun to be
excited, “ what read ran concerning me in futuri
ty ? “ What do i sis- in future?: You will not
believe me if I apeak-” “Yes, indeed: I assure
you. Come, my good mother, what am Ito fear
and hope,” “On your own head be if then*
Listen. Von will be married : that union will
not lie happy. You will become a widow, ami
*> .i,„, »«U will nuet.u of France! Some
happy years will be yours; but you will Ole uv an
hospital amid civil commotion.
Josephine’s after life cxhi'bals a literal'fulfilment 1
of this prophecy of the sybil. She married the
Viseomptc Alexander de Beauharnois, and lost her
husband in the political commotions' of Louis the
sixteenth's reign. After laboring under the trou
bles of many pecuniary embarrassiW»frt'a. being
entirely depi ndent upon the charity of Tier friends,
she became acquainted with ami married Napo-
Icon Buonaparte—-firm whose grant tread as he
moved along, (ottered the thrones of Europe.—
Every one is acquainted with the heart rendering
separation which look place between her and her
husband, whom she affectionately loved. It re
mains only to state, that she died at Malrnaison
on the morning of tho 29th of May, “when her
gentle spirit calmly passed to a world of love and
peace;” and her body Vras consigned to an hum
ble tomb in the village church of Buel.
Ijawtve Revenue.— Many years since a gen
t’smVn in Newington a nariuli as Wd illuirurwalil I
. wfiu was a very relupuns and con
scicntious man, married one of the most ill-natured
and troublesome women who could he found in
the vicinity. This occasioned a universal sur
prise wherever he was known, and ot\e of his
neighbors ventured to ask him the reason which,
had governed his choice. He replied, that hav
ing had hut little trouble in the world, he was
fearful of Incoming attached to things of time and
sense, and he thought that by experiencing some
afflictions he should become more weaned: from
' the world, and he married such a woman as he
thought would accomplish this object.
The, best part of tho story is, that the wife,
hearing the reasons why ho married her, was
much offended and nut of revenge, became one
of the most pleasant and dutiful wives in the town
declaring that she was not going to he made a
pack-horse to carry her husband to Heaven.
A Novel Divorce Cask. —The Ncw-York
Gazette says: A petition is before the Legislature
of Connecticut, which excites a great deal of in
terest, and as it appears to us a good ileal of ill
feeling. It is an application of the lady of the
Rev. Samuel F. Jarvis. D. D. L. L, D., (or a di
vorce from her husband, and for the sett lenient of
an alimony of five thousand dollars per arm:.in
from his estate. The lady urges the measure on
the ground of unhusbandlike and illiberal treat
ment—nigardliness and unpeeuniosily of provis
ion for her rnaintainancc. The friends of the
Rev. respondent, who is son of the late Bishop
Jarvis, and a clergyman of the Episcopal I ‘hurch,
enjoying a very high reputation for his talents and
excellent character, insist upon the vixen dispo
sition of the petitioner. They say sin is an un
easy. uncomfortable and extravagant woman,
whose conjugal conduct allimls much stronger
grounds for an application for a divorce on the
part of the husband, than she ran claim herself.
Khe, too, belongs to one ot the most resectable
families in Connecticut, and her sisters are mar
ried to some of the most distinguished luou in the
country.
Baron Rothschild. — Baron Solomon Roths
child was presented to <hu Pope during his late
residence at Rome, ft is well known that the
Jewish people suffered under a most painful yoke
in the capital of the Christian world from the pe
riod ol the middle ages, and that (his oppression
which ceased entirely while the French were in
possession of the papal stales, was fully re-estab
lished by Leo XII. The reigning poi>e. at his ac
cession, abolished most of the regulations of his
predecessor, and the Israelites have since enjoyed
the protection of government, although their so

in favor ofhis nation, and the pope has assured

They have extensive quarries of Limestone, which

ogist. to whom the proprietors are indebted for the
information which induced them to embark in the
undertaking, to be of the very purest kind. They
have consequently erected large and substantial
Kilns in the most approved manner, and procured
men from the North who are perfectly acquainted
w ith the business. A portion of tiie Lime is now in
niarKctand has been pronounced by the principal
builders in the neighborhood of Augusta, and others,
hi he of excellent quality. The subscribers take
pleasure in inviting those who take an interest in
the deveiupemeut oftiie internal resources of Geor
gia. to examine it, being convinced that the whole
United States cannot produce a more beautiful arti
cle.
They have now a quantity on hand, which thev

vannah river, or at Augusta. Having extensive
preparations in progress, they expect to lie able du

in the reach of visitors. The lountry around the
Springs admits of a variety of excursions, on horse
back nr in carriages.
The Limestone Spring is a highly medicinal
water. In add turn to Lime, there in tumid Magne
sia and Kpsom Salts in it-, and' the great quantity
of Carbonic ac id gas, constantly escaping from the
Spring, renders the water very light. I o IJyspe i,
tics, and persons laboring under liver comp aints,or
of constipated habits,experience enables us to say
that this water is inva uah e. If any visitor labor
ing under any of these diseases has ever visited
the place, and not been bent lilted, it is to. us un
known. There are two line Chalybeate Springs,,
one rising out of the Limestone Quarry, and the'
other a short distance below it. In addition to Iron,
they are supposed by many to contain other active
ingredients. Since they have been discovered,they
have been found to he very beneficial to many
weak and debilitated persons.
The grounds about the springs are beautifully
laid out, and afford many fine and delightful walks.
Several intelligent and respectable gentlemen
have settled peunanently at the Springs, and con
stitute at ail times a delightful society. They have
made their settlements with a two-fold object!,
health and the education of their children. For
this latter purpose they have established two ex
cellent schools—a Male Academy, under the di
rection ol Mr. I(oosa t ngd K Female Academy un
der the care of Miss Williams, both schools merit
every encouragement—they are well i.lnUn led.
and imparting to their resp. ctive pupils, sound! anil
good education. Farailii s visiting the Springs,will
have the opportunity of placing their children in
these excellent schoa.s. Mr. Saunter, will teach
Music during the summer months, his i|iialineatiuius
aye equal to any .instruction which may he required,
is expected, and wih he certainly in attendance to
instruct all who may desire it,
'These are some of the inducements which are pre
sented to the public, to favor the Limestone Springs
wilh their patronage. ,\Vlhu it is remembered that
this establishment owes its f undatlon to the liberal
ity and patriotism of many gentlemen who have
advanced large sums of money for the purpose of
presenting to the people of South Carolina and
Georgia. a place of health and relaxation, almost at
their own doors, it is to he hoped that it wih not
languish, decline and die for tbo want of patronage.
The thousands expended in Northern t.availing
may be saved, and the people of the seaboard and
tliu mountains may enjoy all the mutual benefit of
travel and inter nurse.
To the religious public the undersigned would
say, that gaming and all such gross irregularities as
would be offensive to them, arc prohibited at this
