S Two new chairs were created. Dr. G. M. New ton, now on his return from Europe, and lormcr ly attached ns an Assistant to this Institution, was unanimously elected Professor of Physiology . and Pathological Anatomy. Dr. Ford, late Pro f Lessor of Chemistry and Pharmacy in the Colleger has resigned, and accepted the other new Profes sorship, which is of Institutes of Medicine and Medical J urisprudence. •j , Dr: Charles Davis, laic adjunct Prof, of Chem istry and Pharmacy in Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, and Professor of thij branch in the Medical College of South Carolina, was unani mously called to the chair vacated by Dr. Ford, , This gentleman is now lecturing in Charleston to . a very large class in the Lyceum of that city, and ' is diffusing a taste in that community, for the arts and sciences. Wc have heard hint spoken of as one of the moet popular lecturers in our country. Wc are gratified to announce that Prof. Davis has officially accepted the appointment in the Medical College ofGeorgia. From the Circular about to be issued by the Trustees, wo copy-the Professors now composing the Faculty of our Medical College, viz— L. A. Dugas, M. D., on Anatomy. Geo, M. Newton, M.D., on Physiology arid Pathological Anatomy. Charles Davis, M. D., on Chemistry and Phar macy, Jos A.EvCjM. D., on Therapcautics and Ma teria Medica. L, D. Ford, M.

The Faculty of the Transylvania Medical College, at Lexington, Ky., has been dismissed, with the exception of Dr. Dudley. 2d.

GovrtlMttr-vr OeritESSios!—Amid the pres sure and ruin which pervades the land, the Gen eral Govcrnucnt has slopped in to increase the public distress by enforcing the collection o Revenue Bond?! The Collector at Oswego, m pursuance ot* express orders from Vv flfihuigton, has not only handed over the bonds to the t-> *• District Attorney for collection, but the Marshall has been to Oswego and served the process. If it is considered oppressive in individuals to en force the collection of debts, what arc we to think f ofa Government which thus grinds its subjects! ■ Are these the tender mercies of Fan Buren ij ism I —Albany Evg. Journal. From the Phil. Commercial Herald, May 13. Tub Govbusxbkt Bankhupt.—The oppo f nents of the U. Stales Bank arc exulting in what they are pleased to call its downfall —that is, i,s stoppage of specie payments. They have con quered, they exclaim, they have prostrated the Bank, and are satisfied. They have prostrated the Bank! and how have they prostrated the Bank! Why, by slopping specie payments them selves first! They have prostrated the Bank by prostrating themselves, and the whole country. They have sunk their enemy bv scuttling the ves sel in which we are all embarked—the pirate’s triumph! The Government bankrupt! Yes; ,he Government of the United States, which has possessed a surplus revenue of some fifty or sixty millions, and has a nominal surplus at this time in its Treasury of six or eight millions, is unable to pay its dues in its own coin, and has refused to , do so—and this it did before the United States Dank stopped specie payments. Could it be ex pected that this Bank would continue to pay spe i cio, when the government itself had stopped! ‘ could it be expected that she would sutler the spe ; cie. to la: drawn out of her vaults by those who refused to answer her demands for it in turn! She must have been filly indeed, to suffer her stockholders to bo injured in this way. We re peat, that those having demands upon the Gov ernment payable cither in this city or New York, or perhaps in any other city-, cannot obtain their dues in the only coin which the Govern- recognizes as money, while those who owe the Government arc required to pay in specie, i Even the dividends of the French Indemnity /cannot be obtained in gold or ail verbal though Gov ernment have charged those to whom it is to be . paid, five per cent premium for importing the gold for them from France: in other words, a PREMIUM IS CHARGED FOR SPECIE, THOUGH THE SPECIE 18 REFUSED!— This is another chapter in the history of THE GOLD HUMBUG—another illustration of the beulitu! system of “the belter currency”—another proof of the admirable operations of the Jackson “expeiment.” We should be glad to know whether those who have supported the Government in their grand “experiment” upon a sound currency, who have boon proclaiming the advent of the golden age, and shouted the praises of the “Benton mint drops,” while llie commercial community were groaning under the operation of the great quack experimenter, are now satisfied, or they would like to see the “experiment” tried a little longer— another turn or two given to the screws. From Texas. —Judge Ellis has assumed the Vice Presidency of Texas, in the absence of Gen. Lamar, who passes the summer with his friends in the United States. Col. Bringas, and Licuts. Perazzo and Oampo, three Mexican prisoners in Texas, have been liberated at the request of Gen. Mejia, and have arrived at New Orleans, via Nacogdoches. President Houston is about to release all the other officers in confinement.— The army is said to be discontented from inac tion, and the President is opposed, it is belidved, to any movement at present. It is feared that the armed schooner Independence, on board of which was Col. Wharton, has been captured by the Mexicans.—„V. F. Evg. Star. From thcN. Y. Express May Vi American Tract Society. —The Anniver sary of the American Tract Society at the Tab ernacle, Wednesday, was unusually thronged. The receipts for the last five years though $l3O, 991, that is $35,000 over last year, have all been expended, leaving in fact a deficit of some thou sands! The Pilgrim’s Progress, stereotype plates &c. seem to have made a tremendous hold in the funds. There have been this year 75,000 vo lumes more published than last, and 43 new pub lications issued. The Missionaries, aided by the Society, have issued tracts in fifty-six different languages! There have been issued the last year hard on to 126 millions of pages of publications. There are 1116 auxiliary societies, 25 since last annual meeting.—There are employed in connec tion with the society 659 missionaries. To tal sums remitted the past year for China, Rus sia, North American Indians, Persia; Poland, Sweden, &c. $35,000. From the S. Y Daily Express May 12. The Specie Currency Era. —The beautiful Currency which the Government has given us, is seen in the following extract from a loiter dif ted, St. Louis, (Mo.) April 22d. “Private drafts on New York at sight are not to be had, and drafts on lime are about the same as no remittance at all, besides the great risk we tun in now buying private paper. As the Bank checks by stating to you what kind of money the Agency here receives for that part of its busi ness, you perceive how difficult it is to make re mittances. Agency of the Commercial Bank of Cincinnati does not receive gold and silver—its own paper, nor Illinois, nor indeed any other, ex cept the following, which, in consequence has already gone almost entirely out of circulation, viz. other Banks in Cincinnati!, Louisville, Wheeling, Pittsburg, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, and U. S. Back. When we must get a check on the East, wc are obliged to run about and change money here, and there, five and ton dollars at a place, till wo can got what we want.” From the Baltimore American, May 13. Yesterday the suspension of specie payments on the part of the Banks of this city took effect. The propriety, or more properly speaking, the absolute necessity of the measure was so clearly apparent, after the occurrences which had taken place in New York and Philadelphia, that it has met with general acquiescence. Perfect stillness pervaded the Banks yesterday, in comparison with the bustle which attended the payment of the numerous calls for specie on the preceding day. The notes of the private Banking House of Messers. J. I. Cohen, Jr. and Brothers were pre sented yesterday at their counter quite freely, and were promptly paid in specie. The notes of our Banks, although not redeem able in specie, were yesterday received as usual in deposite at the different Banks, find by all persons in business. The sudden change in the circulating medium has brought with it a difficulty on the score of small shangc, so indispensable in all the smaller business transactions of life, which should he remedied as soon as practicable. It is generally known that the Banks arc prohibited by law from issuing notes of a denomination less than five dollars, conseuqently we must look to some other source for this description of circulating me dium. The great desideratum in selecting the mode of supplying the existing deficiency is that it shall he entitled to credit and be uniform, so as to picvcnt the, possibility of loss or the facility of imposition. From the N. O. True American May 13. MONEY MARKET-CITY. Friday, May 12. On reference to anoth er column, it will be seen that an important step has been taken by six of our principal Banks. The effects to flow from this measure of suspen sion, wc have endeavored to point out. That all tho other Banks will be forced into the measure wc cannot for a moment doubt. They owe it to the community to come up to their assistance. Wo hope thatno little jealousy will prevent them from doing good this lime. Their omission to unite last March should prove a lesson. No improvement was noted to day in the pro duce market. As to Cotton, it is worse than nothing. That business will become brisk the ensuing week, now that the dead weight is taken , from the spring, cannot be doubted. It becomes . the non specie paying banks to be very cautious in their transactions. Let them look to the ben ■ c jjj the public, and regulate their issues there l’yTho storm is heating mercilessly on devoted New York.-On the sth, house after house fell. ■ The next mail or two will h.-mg us news of the bursting of the thunder-cloud in IdM city, i heir Banks will inevitably suspend.

Wc regret to learn from Providence, that the recent failures here have caused great embarrass ment in that place and its vicinity. We under stand that several large manufacturing establish ments were compelled lo suspend payment on Monday, and fears were entertained that others must follow. Large sums to the South for cotton arc becoming duo daily, while a much large amount due from the South, for manufactured goods, cannot he collected at the present time. In almost all the Eastern towns we hear that the pressure is very gicat. Tho New Jersey Slate Gazelle, of yesterday, speaks confidently of the immediate convention of the assembly of that state, for tho purpose of adopting measures suited to the exigencies of tho times. The Richmond (Va.) Enquirer of Thursday, says—“Wc can assure our distant readers, that we have made it a point to inquire into the con dition of the banks of Richmond; —and wo have been assured of their entire stability. No de mand has been made upon them which they have not completely discharged. None is expect ed to be made, which they are not ready to meet.” From the New York Herald. MONEY MARKET. Saturday May 13. There is still great confusion and uncertainty as regards the course of commercial events. The two currencies are under way. Specie is at a premium of 10 to 14 per cent., but yesterday sales of it were very flat. The runs on the banks previous to tho suspension have thrown large amounts into market—and it is now a drug In Wall street. The Board of Brokers was engaged warmly again yesterday, on the subject of* suspension of specie payments in relation to stock contracts. Tho question is not yet decided. Stocks are fluctuating and unsteady—little is doing. The great topic of the street is the law about lo bo passed by the legislature, authorising the banks to continue their suspension of speccie payments without forfeiting their charters,—The suspension is to endure fur one year. Some of the provisions of this bill, if it passes into a law, will bear heavily on certain banks in the city. It is doubted whether several of our banks will not bo wound up and closed up. Suspicions are en tertained of the management of the Manhattan, the State, and the Mechanics. Large loans have been made to tho brokers, in default of the mer chants. Throughout the state we should sup pose the effect of tho law would he to close the doors of many banks finally and forever. Many amendments, and much opposition, it will have to encounter. Wo cannot, tell, therefore, what the exact operation of this bill may he, till.it shall have passed both branches of the legislature, and become a law. It is possible that some of the banks embraced in it may resume specie pay ments before the limited j t ried. In the mean time, the whole financial and commercial machine is more and more getting into confusion. The government has refused to postpone tho payments of bonds till the Ist of January next. This refusal is grounded on the imperative obligations of law. Mr. Woodbury’s letter lo thaAll i;ct has been published, and wc do not see how his reasoning can be invalidated. The suspension of specie payments by tho banks, more and more appears lo have been a concerted movement throughout the whole paper money confederacy. At Providence, the news was cheered on its reception, and in one hour tho whole of their banks suspended specie payments. So in New Haven—so in New. Jersey—so in Philadelphia. In Baltimore, tho banks were more cautious, remembering the events produ ced by the failures of the Bank of Baltimore. Tho United States has suspended in the follow ing form : In consequence of the failure of the treasury of tho United Slatqgjb pay the demands upon it in specie, the Bank of the United States* holding large claims upon the Treasury hanks which it is unable lo realize has been compelled lo suspend specie payments also. The government, through its deposite banks, having failed to meet its engagements,-the Bank of tho United States did not think it justice to Philadelphia to continue specie payments. Whenever the government is ready to resume specie payments, tho Bank of tho United States will be icady to co-operate with tho treasury for that purpose. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, J May Bth, 1827. f Sm :—I have been directed by the Presi dent of the United States, to communicate to you the views of this Department in relation to tho request, recently made to him by a Com mittee appointed at a respectable meeting held in the City of New York. The request was, that instructions may be given lo prevent the commencing of suits in any of the collection districts upon unpaid “bonds until after the first day of January next.” With every disposition on the part of the President and this Department to gratify any any wishes of the mercantile portion of the community, and witii a deep aolcttudo to al leviate as far as possible the pressure which exists in their pecuniary affaire, it is to bo regretted, that instructions cannot be given for so protracted a delay, and in so general a manner, without a departure from longestnb lised usage, and great ificonvieneuce to the merchants and the Treasury. By tho act of Congress of tho 2d of March, 1799, it is provided, that “ where any bond for the payment of duties, shall not be satis fied on the day it may become due, the collec tor shall forthwith and without delay, cause a prosecution to he commenced for the recocery of the money thereof by action or suit at law. No authority or discretionary power is en trusted expressly lo the President or this De partment lo dispense with this imperative di rection, given by Congress to the Collectors of the Customs. The general practice lias been opposed to either the existence or the exercise of any legal authority, except in Congress to grant delay in the payment of such bonds, until after an action is instituted or judgment confessed. But alter a suit has been brought, the Collector’s duty has been considered as fulfilled, and this Department through its proper agents, has in special cases and in that stage of the proceedings deemed it lawful to direct some delay to do granted by the District Attorney on certain terms. ’ No statute forbids such a course, and if a payment in part is made, or additional securi ty is furnished, in case where great hardship, embarrassment or insolvency, is shown to ex ist, & the application is made in consequence of some of these circumstances, indulgence has frequently been given. But the power of permitting some indulgence before an action | is commenced, is supposed by the Attorney : General and the Solicitor of tho Treasury to j belong to the latter officer, under the Act of Congress of May 29th, 1830; and, in limes & cases like the present, when the most favour able construction, which may be legal, should be followed —Ihe department is disposed, in conformity lo the advice and opinion of I hose law officers, to sanction a delay by him under like circumstances and to like extent before suit or afterwards. Upon the occurrence, therefore, of the cases of the character previ ously deocribed, whether before suit or alter, 1 and whether at your port or elsewhere, similar j indulgences on similar terms could, and un j doubtedly would be allowed with pleasure on seasonable application in each case—tho ex tent of the delay being regulated by the facts of each case, and the existing and probable | wants of the Treasury in the I.mu u shall bo presented. But should applications of tlte i.i: i become numerous orjcxtead to several houda ve y large in amount, difficulties unfortunately ■would arise under (lie existing laws ,1 the state of tire Treasury, not cuiv the parties hut to the public, in postpolling payment for any considerable period. In the first place, all partl y and ;'iiret'''- upon Bonds unpaid after duo, tiro rxpre i c disabled by tliod’Jd section of the Act before referred to, from having cicdit upon any oili er duty Bond. The language is, “No person, whoso Bond has been received either as principal or surety for tho payment of duties, or for whom any Bond lias been given by an agent, factor, or other person in pursuance of tho provjs oils’ herein contained, and which Bond may he due and unsalis/ted, shall he allowed a future credit for duties until such bond he fully paid or discharged.” In tins next place tliff condi tion of the Treasury, during the remainder of the year, will, probably, ho such, whether looking to the estimates submitted by this De partment to C’cngre-al the comm .ncomfeiil of its session in December last, or to the ac tual state of things at this lime, as lo create serious inconvenience and embarrassment to the public interests n. meeting the n-. iic en gagements, should ill ' payment oi a, li-_- duly Bonds outstanding in ihe i!ailed .Y m ~ uiul amounting to several million n* doVirs. tu; postponed in their r.dl.vti' n, c.iher •.•fine or after suit, until the time requested by the Committee. This will bo very manifest from t c f,.bow ing data.—The sggregalo . er into the Treasury, during the year 18BJ', hating been estimated in the last annual report at §24,- 000,000, ami the appropriations asked tor by the respective Departments, with (lie usual anticipated contingent having amounted to about $27,000,000, it was then scirgcslod, that this would require the expenditure not only of all the estimated accruing receipts, but nearly three millions of the liv(i reserved on the Ist of JamnTVy 1837, from distribution milling the states. Congress, however, in The course of the ses sion, appropriutd not only those tljrcc millions of excess, hut over five millions in addition, making an aggregate of more than thirty-two millions, and hy tliis means, a charge was imposed on the Treasury, lo the ..extent of eight or nine million's beyond the estimated receipts during the year. Tito expectation ofa recurrence of an ex traordinary excess of revenue during the pres ent year, may may have boe.i contemplated by some, and have funned t ie ground on which so largo nppropviations were made, was never entertained liy this Department. Nor docs any such expectation, judging from the re ceipts of the first quarter and the first month in the second quarter, of tho present year, seem likely to bo verified. On the contrary, assuming the hypothesis, that u similar amount of unexpended appropriations will remain at the close of the present year, as did at the close of the last, [though in ordinary times they are generally reduced eight millions low. or, and should they become so, would increase the deficiency Lo that extent] the postpone ment of the payment of any considerable a mount of Bonds to tho Ist of January next, would make a deficiency in (lie means of the Treasury highly probable. To postpone the payment of the many millions, falling duo at nil the poris in the United States, would ren der this deficiency inevitable. Comparing the present cor dito-n of the country with a former |» riod ui f ar-/it rovul- Jon i ' • -'I” vh“’> b: 1919. from tau e sbme ■ wlrat anaWigqus, tho in-re, ' were 'exposed to a pmature so wry general and se vere, tho likelihood seoma equally s-trong in fa , vor of a nphl reduction mll iievrmie. The forcing’rcii’.ai lm will explaip some of tho practical ihl’il nil i"n I ) he encountered iu meeting tile wishes exj.rt •: al by the Com mittee for the long po.- l |)e<jem“ ; it of the 1 pa; i tent of duly bonds, v'n ’h r granted before or after cult, and u o!lier m view 1 of the consequences to the merchants, or 1 to the' Treasury and tin? ; ihl: •. But in dulgence for thifty, six’y rnd id; ly day,?, not extending beyond the ! n, i.i’ September, or about the time for’ arm: 'in.: l!.. payment of the last instalment u( depe<il with the .Stales, could doubtless he grained in special cases under the customary terms and ch unnatances, os before explained, should any parties desire it. But what forbearance tho situation ofthe Treasury may justify in tins respect at any future day, cannot now be foreseen witii much accuracy. Tho payment within so short a period as nine months, of such a vest amount to tho States ns near thirty eight millions, ami which is mostly to hu collected through tiic Deposits Banks, from the mercantile por tion of the country, increases the pressure from other causes, on both Ihe Banks and the community, and creates a prospect that the revenue accruing for tho rest of the year will much decline, and will generally be,'us has boon llie case in April, h . a than the current expenditures. Hence the amount in llie Treasury at this time being only about six millions more than is required to I/O paid to Ihe Flutes; the pro gress of events may compel a recourse to such other measures as the existing laws au thorize, for meeting one of these great crisis, or fluctuations in trade, hy which, as well os by other Contingencies, our present sources of revenue, from intimate dependence upon them,- are so suddenly and so largely influenced, and for which, it lias been tho anxious wish of this Department for two years j/asl, that Con gress would effectually provide, How far the powers of the Department un dortho Deposite and other Acts are now ade quate to ties end, need not ho considered un til a necessity lo resort, to tlicai shall income imperative. But, al all events, it is manifest that tho present, us well us tho probable future condition ot the Treasury, must bo so doubtful, if not straitened, as to prevent it from affording so much incidental ord'rcct aid to the mercantile mtoiost, o liier individually or through tlie Deposite Banks, as it would he highly gratifying to tins Depart ment, to he able to extend. More especially would it be gratifying to do tiiis while that in terest is suffering under tho present severe pressure—a pressure regretted hy me as deep ly as any one, and tho near and probably ap proach, as well as principal causes of which according to my views ol llie subject, 1 felt impelled Loin it sense of public duty, howev er disagreeable the task, lo point out in de tail, in the last annual report so fully as to i render a repetition of them, on this occasion I unnecessary ns well as painful; This Department cannot close the present communication, without requesting yon to as sure tho individuals, connected with tho | groat commerce ol your port, o( llie deep j sympathy felt hereon account iff its emhar i! rasainenls —of tho willingness chCrr.hed at • | this time, as on former occasions, to extend to I ft every species of relief Consistent with llie , j iaws and public duties entrusted to its charge; j and ofthe entire conviction entertained, that , the high moral character and honorable feel r i ings of the merchants, will not only carry thejn . j through the trials of advene fortune, with i their usual scrupulous respect for the laws . and the constituted authorities of their coun , try, hut, hy the aid of their accustomed ener | gy, enterprise, and indefatigable industry will uro long, relieve them from most of the suffer ings occasioned hy ihosre disasters which have occurred so unexpectedly to some, ami so in jurious! v to many.
