AT CONSTANTINO* ' PLE- Mimt Psfadoe, whose work on Portugal )« 1 doubtless Ismtltsr to a portion of our readers, I kM hem upending tome time in Consisnlmo- < pie and has given tbo results ul her observe-. twna in two volume#, under the title of ‘• The 1 Cite of lh# Sultan and Dotneaiic roaimcra o( ] the’Turki,m 1988.” Ths following passages I Irena lie work furnish an interesting account < of her visitto twooflhe principal mosques. I Hour* paaaed away, end other subject* had i euccecded to thia moat interesting one, when, < as the evening closed in, I remarked— Bey, The eldo«l eon of the houae waa carrying on i a very energetic *otta toiet converaaiion with hia venerable father, and Ijwaa not a little oatoniahed when he ultimately inlormed me in his emperfect Fiench,that there waa one method of varHflg the mosques, it I liad nerve to attempt it, to the event of my reaolvmg to run the rwk,he w*e himself so convicted o( it* p'actibility that he would accompany me witbtlie conaetilof Uie fatlicr attended by the old Kierra, or house aleward, upon the under standing (and on thia the grey bearded Eden di had resolutely insisted,) that in the event of detection it waa to be soars jta pew,* an an arrangement that would enable luaaon at once to elude pursuit, if he exercised the least angenuity or caution. i What European traveller poaseaaed of ilic | lean spirit of adventure, would refuae to in- j counter danger in order to aland beneath the '•dome of St. Sophia! And above all, what wandering Giaour could resist the tempa tion of entering a tnoeqoc during !ligh Prayer. Tliese were the quealion* that I asked my self as the young Bey vowed hnnsell so gal lantly to the venture (to him, in any c«ae, not without ita dangers) in order to avert me from the diaappointment which I dreaded. I at once underilood that the attempt must bo made in a Turkiah dresa; but tin* fact was <>( i 'triflingimportance, aa no costume in llie world lends itself more readily or more convenient to the purpose of disguise. After having de liberaiely weighed the chances fur and agmsi detection I resolved lo run the risk; and ac cordingly stained my eyebrows with some ot I the dye common in tlie harem; concealed my ■female attire beneath a magnificent pelisse, i lined with sables which fastened from my chin to my feel; pulled a fez low upon my I ifiKtw; and proceeded by a servant with a lan tern. attended by the Hey, and followed by the iviara and a pipe bearer, at half past ten j o'clock I a allied forth on my adventurous cr- i Tend. Wo have not mentioned to either the i wife »r llie mother of the Bey whither we were bound,being fearful ot alarming them un necessarily; and they consequently remained perfectly satisfied with the asaaranco of the old gentleman, that I waa anxious to sec the Bosphorus by moonlight, tliougli a darker '■night never apread ita mantle over llie earth. I am extremely doubtful whether on a less exciting occasion 1 should have kept lime with the rapid pace of my companion over “the value pavement of Constantinople; ns it 'waa however, I dared not give away, lest ev ery one among the individuals who followed us, and who were perhaps bound on the same errand, should penetrate my disguise. “If we escape from St. Sophia unsuspect ed." said my chivalrous friend, “wo will then | make another bold attempt, we will visit the ‘tnosqhe bf Saltan Achmet, ana as this is a high festival if you risk the adventure, yon hvill have done what no Infidel has ever yet dared to do; but! forewarn you that, should you be discovered, and fail to make your es cape on the instant, you will bo lorn lo pie- This assertion somewhat staggered me, and for ap instant, my woman-spirit quailed; I contented myself however with briefly reply ing.—“ When we leave St. Sophia, wu will talk of this, and continued to walk beside him 'in silence.—At length wc entered the spacious ■court of (he mosque,ami as the servants stoop ed tn withdraw my ahoea, the Bey murmured •in my ear; “Bo firm or you are lost!"—and ‘making a strong effort to subdue* tho leeling of mingled awo and fear which was rspidly stealing over utc, I pulled the fox deeper upon iny eye-bruws, and obeyed. On passing the threshold, I found mysnlfiu a covered peristyle, whose gisgntic columns of granite ara partially sunk in tile wall of which they form a part; the floor wag covered | with fine mailing, and tlte colored lamps,which were suspended in festoons from the lolly | ceiling, shod a broad light on all the surround- 1 ; hng objects. In mustol the recesses formed Hiv the pillars beggars were crouched down, holding in front of them their little metal ha sins, lor the acts of the charitable: while ser vants lounged to and fro, or squatted in groups upon llie matting, awaiting the egress of their employers. As I look around mo our own at tendant moved forward, and raising the cur lam which veiled a douole door of bronze, mtu.infd at middlengilt of the peristyle, I in- ' ■voluntarily shrank back before tho blaze of light dipt burst upon mo. I Far as the eye c*ald reach upwards, circles 1 of coloured lire, appearing us if suspended in * amd-air, designated the form ot tho sUipon- 1 dous dome, while beneath, devices of every 1 -shape ami colnur were farmed by myriads of I lam|i« of various hue*; the Imperial close), 1 situated opposite (ho pulpit, was ono blaze ol I refulgence, and its gilded lattices flashed back ' 'die brilliancy, till it bunked like a gigantic me teor! 1 As i stood a few's paces within the door- * way, 1 could not distinguish the limits of the ■ ‘edifice—l looked forward, upward,—to the 1 right band, and to the left—bul I could only ■ taka m a given space, covered wi.lt luinuit brings, kneeling lit regular lines, and at « 1 certain signal bowing Ilnur turhaiiod heads toj the earth, aa it one soul and one impulse an '■mated the whole congregation while the shrill chanting of the choir pealed through the Vast pile, & died away in lengthened cadences ambng die tall dark ednmns winch support it. And this was Bt. Sophia ! To me it seem ■ed like a creation «f enchantment—the ligi t '—the ringing voices—the mysterious extent, which baffled the earnestness ot' nty gaze— 'the ten thousand Inrbaued Moslems, all knee ling with their faces turned towards Mecca, •and at intervals laying tlieir foreheads to the ‘earth—the bright and various colors of the dresses—aud die rich and glowing tints ot ■the carpets that veiled the marble floor—all consprred to form a scene of such unearthly magnificence, that I felt as though therecoulil he no reality Ml what I looked uu, but dial, at i some sudden nigaal, the towering columns ■would tail to support the vault of light above j ■them, and *ll would become void. 1 had forgotten every thing ut the mere j ttxerdise at visions ; —the danger of detection j —the flight uftiaie—almost my own indemi tyr-wheu toy ««■ companion uttered the sin- ' gle word-“ Get, Cutuc"—and, paasing forward to ahother doer on (he opposite side, ut die i ’*bnilfling,fi instinctively followed him, and; more found myself in the court. Whkt adoag breath I drew, aathecold sir) •swept bcr*as my forehead ! I felt like one 'Who has suddenly stepped beyond (he circle hifan enchanter, and dissolved the spell of ■wornfe-nighty auagte. “Whhher shall wc now bend out way V as ked my coaapnmon, aa we resumed our shoes. “To Sultan Achmet," —1 answered briefly i Icnuid not have bestowed many words on n-.y i uest"friend at that,,moment; (he very cion wdpbhdtuMjnihkii. *M%He<reniiuiea,more we stood before tin* j m«HMA% BUlltn .Aeiuuct, and ascending the ricibteSifw es stqpa which lead te the pnnei pal eutisnce, we agaia cast off out shoes, and entered the (Mdple. fdfiailaly Was vast than St. Sophia, this titsoiqrfo impressed the with a feeding of awe, much greater than that which I bad expert- i ■sneed in visiting its amre stately neighbor— 1 four colosaal ptllata of marble, five or six feet I tn circumference. support tbs dome, and these wore wreathed with lamps, even to the sum mit; while the number of lights suspended from the ceiling give the) whole edifice the appearance of a space overhung with stars. We entered at a propoitioua moment, tor llie faithful were performing their pros'ra tions, and had consequently no time to specu late on our apperance; the chanting waa wil der ami shriller than that which! had just heard at Hi. Sophia; it sounded to me in fact more like the delicious outcry which we may suppose !o have been uttered by a band of Delphic Pneaieaaese, than the voices of a chon of uninspired human boinge. We passed onward over the yielding car pets, which returned no sound beneaih our footsteps: and there was something strange ly anpernattfral in the spectacles of several human beings moving along, without creat ing a single echo in the vast apace they traversed. Wc paused an instant beside the marble-arched platlorm un which the tnuez sin was performing his prostrations to the shrill cry of the choir;—we lingered another, to lake a last look at the kneeling thousands who wire absorbed in their devotions, fit then rspidly descending inio the court, my compan ion ulleied a haaly congratuation on the suc i cesatul Issue ol our bold adventure lo which I 1 responded a most heartfelt “Amen"—and in j lers than an hour, I cast off my fez and my pel j iaae in tho harem of Etfendi and ex- I claimed to its asto nshed inmates:——“l have seen tho mosques.'’ From Ike Southern Recorder. The Standard of Union once compared the contest before the people of the Hiale, lor the office of Govcnor, to a trial before a court.— We are content, for the present, to consider it in that aspect. Cause is to be shown why George 11. Gilmer should not be elected Gov enor. There is,as as far a« we can sec, no specific allegation against Mr. Gilmer but the cause alledged why he should not he vested with said office, is contained in sundry pur- Hons of good advice weekly offered the good people of (his .Statu in the columns of the Standard of Union, and the Federal Union.— These two presses are the most prominent in their opposition to Mr. Gilmer, and we pre sume we shall do the parly that support Gov- Schley, no discredit, when wo say, they are perhaps the must effective. in ail cases presented before a court for ad judication, the testimony in or ought to be most scrupulously weighed. Wo propose therefore, to submit the evidence furnished by these prints against Mr. Gilmer, to a strict and legal examination, Tho first question we would propound In tho witnesses is, "have you no inlerett m the event of this suit?" We care not tor their replies, ns we have what lawyers call, record evidence of tho fact. Tho gentlemen who have the management of the editorial department of these presses, have indeed a large stake at issue. They built held officers in the government, ono is tint Treasur er, the oilier the Comptroller General of the Mime. The defeat of Governor Schley ends their term of office. This to a great extent accounts fur Ilian exuberance ot zeal which outstrips tlioirco-luborers in the work of up holding the nomination of Governor Schley. I Wo Hunk we do them no injustice, when we j point lo this fact as tho governing motive which prompts the utterance of the groundless charges sod unsubstantial accusal ions they so vociferously assert against Mr. Gilmer. In our courts of Justice, an interested witness is nut miflbrcd to testily; his mouth Itis scaled by the justice of the law. which will not permit any man tu be placed in the way of tempta tion. That rule is not without its application in politics. It has been alleged by our contemporary, the Standard of Union, somewhere in the bonk it threatened lo fulminate against Mr. Gilmer, (page and line are not material,) that he was n practical nutliticr. Suppose wo ad mil for a moment tills allegation, as true, with what grace we ask does it come from the mouth of him whose daily boast is Ins disre gard of (he lawsofthe United Stales, in the matter of the Cherokee Indians. Where was our cotemporary, when the insolent missive ol (ho Supreme Court cited the sovereign Slate of Georgia before that bar lo plead lo tho accusation of having unforced the sen tence of Iter laws upon un Indian murderer. In the case ot Tassels, whnt side did our cu temporary espouse ! Was he in favor of yielding submission to the citation issued un der a law ot the United States, in accordance with the famous Iwenly-flfilt section us the ju diciary act, ami advocated a refusal on the part of Georgia, lo obey the requirements ol the citation. It then Mr. Gilmer is a practi cal uullilier and unworthy ul the confidence ot the people, his accuser stands in the same pre dicainont, and the charge fa Is lo Hie ground. But what is the reason assigned for this charge! Because he sutlers himself to he run lor (ho office of Governor by the State Rights parly? But do the Stale Rights parly alone support Mr. Gilmer! Do they alone appose Gov. S hley? How comes it, wo would usk, that Gen. Glascock is opposed lo the election of Gov. Schley? Why is Col. Wil liam Gumming, Hie man who acted and wrote . against the theory ol nullification,ami lo whom ( the Union party tendered, not only tho Exe eculivo chair, hut a seal in the Senate ol the ‘ Unitdd States why is it, wc ask, that he loops 1 opposed lo Gov. Schley, ami in lavor of 1 George R. G.lnter! And why is it that n host of other Union men are with them aiding in the same object, the defeat of Guv. Schley, and the election of George R. Gilmer? Shall they be called practical mtllifiers, be cause they are now found acting ncling with 1 the Slate Rights parly lo pm down a corrupt i administration— to overthrow u subservient , party, and produce a wholesome reformation! Arc we lo bo told that they are nullifiers, when as it were, before a raging conflagration, they are found humanely employed in hand iug buckets of water alien to their political adversaries, lo aid mjexiinguisl i ig the flames! It so, we ask, the Standard ot Union and the Federal Union, to make their accusa tions equally as conspicuous against these gentlemen as against Mr. Gilmer. We at least pay those gentlemen the compliment, lo believe that they are are prompted bv a irue partnuisiin in then conduct; n > one will pretend that they are interested wit nesses. We must believe and so will the people believe f there were no ptinciplcs in i volved the success of which would jeopard the | vital interests id Georg a, that Gol, Gumming j and General Glascock, would not be found in j uppostion lo what these presses assert to be j the object ol the party. They are party men j where principles ore involved; they have been J ami are now of that political party, and these i very presses once applauded their principles when their services were over and over again j solicited. Gan our contemporaries say why i they are opposed to Gov. Schley, is not their testimony in favor ot Mr Gilmer,a thou sand times better than the evidence which wc have shown must come from witnesses hav ing a deep stake in the event of the cause. Tu whom then will the people give ered ance! We heaitatu nut tu asrert, that the course of these gentlemen, who worship no man, who arc the creatures of no junto or fac tion, who are independent in their judgment and action will weigh more with an intelli gent people, than the volumes of al egation uttered by those who sec m ihe defeat of their favorite candidate for Govcnor, the downfall ’ ut their own hj|ie», and the termination of the 1 salaried offices they hold.

H, IH3T^ FOR GOVERNOR, (>K»R(iE R. mii RERy Wc call the attention of every merchant into whore hands this paper may fall—yea, of every intelligent and patriotic man, no matter what tho character of hia employment or profession, who looking beyond Ihe puerility of ephemeral party triumpha, and soaring above the influence of the agrarian and jacohinal dogmas of the day, looks only to tho wellaro and happiness of our country, and lire permanence of her political and social institutions—wc entreat the earnest, serious and dispassionate attention of all such,to the following article from the Baltimore Chronicle of Friday Inst, embracing two Ictleis from Andrew Jackson laic President, to tho editor of the Globe, lican well the language of those letters —mark lhci r tone and temper—ponder upon the extraordinary declarations and doctrines which they proclaim, & if many who have sustained and supported that unfeeling and ungrateful old men, through evil as well os good report, do not find in 'hern suffi cient cause to make them bile their bps with char grin ami indignation, wc shall think that human nature is reduced, in our boasted republic, to a point of degradation, at which the feelings of the freeman have departed, and the servility of the slave has become predominant. The authoritative tone of these letters show plainly enough, that although Mr. Van Huron is the President, yet Jackson is the rules! Like the famous letter of Jessup, which produced the recall and trial of Gen. Scott, they are addieased to Francis P. Blair, editor of the Globe; hut no man ran he such a fool as nut to sec that, like that letter, they were intended to operate upon the President. By him they have been published to liolster up the new experiment which is ahouf to be attempted, upon the currency, by tho ling, merits of the popularity which tho name of Jack son still retains amongst the people. I,et us dissect these letters, and sketch briefly the leading features which they present, and the grand points which they make in the political his tory of the limes. * They substantially and effectually declare that Ihe Deposit Bank system, the ouec boasted ex periment of his own administration, must he abaniluneil —and admitting thus the total and complete failure of that system, they contradict his own language in several of his messages, and that of Mr. Secretary Taney in bis reports, in both of which it was repeatedly declared that the deposits hanks answered all tho purposes of tire United States Bank, and furnished as good, if not a bolter currency, than the country ever had be fore!! Il is declared that tho government should be separated from all hanks; and that its revenues should ho collected and disbursed in gold and ail vor, by its own agents; thus creating each receiv er and collector, and Postmaster throughout the Union, a hanker ot the government to the extent of his receipts and disbursements! He denounces the deposite Banks, which he himself lucl selected and employed, as guilty of the* basest treachery ami perfidy ever recorded in the listory of the world!" As actuated in their suspension of specie payments “purely with the view of gratifying Middle and the Mar ingt,” and charges that, in so doing, it was their intention “to iiedhauk, kmbannass asu uu In , IF TIIKf COI’LII, 111 Kill OWN COUNTIIT, tor the selfish views of making large profils by throwing out millions of depreciated paper upon the people —idling their specie at large premiums, and baying up their own paper at diicounh of from 25 to 50 per cent."..'" Such is tho language and such the words of Andrew Jackson! Deposit hanks and hankers, one and all, from Maine to Louisiana, from the Atlantic to the Mississippi, you hoar the charge and you know tho accuser! Arc j-c guilty or not guilty? The man who em ployed you, accuses you ol crimes the most loul and flagitious, and of corrup'ion the most gross and flagrant! What say ye, have yo been treach erous and perfidious! Andrew Jackson has said it! Have ye liecomo the subservient tools of Bid dle and the Barings? Andrew Jackson has writ ten il!! Have yo sought to degrade and ruin and embarrass your own country, for selfish and sor did purposes! Andrew Jackson has proclaimed ill!! The contest is between you and him. A silent acquiescence, and a continued support of Jacksoriism on your part, will lie tantamount to a plea of guilty.—Choose ye your own course. Wo proceed to notice one other point in these extraordinary letters, in which il is declared that “the bankt and Ihe MERCHAN TS iikskuvk so FATOBS FBOM the government which they have attempted to ditgrace!” Merchants of Augus ta —of Georgia—of the Union—you hear the de nunciation which is levelled at your honor, your integrity, and your patriotism, by tho ex-Presi dent, sud published in the official organ of his successor! We shall not ssk what you will do, or attempt to counsel what you ihould do, but we trust for the honor of yous characters, that we shall never behold any man who owns the name of merchant, hereafter creeping to the polls like a sycophantic slave, and hear it said, as he easts his suffrage, “he 100 licks the fool that spumed him and cigns, by his vote, the confession of his own disgrace!” MORE OF THE NEW EXPERIMENT.— The Globe, received yesterday, devotes two col umns to the currency, and introduces no less a personage than the “Old Hkuo” himself, as the dictator of the new Experiment, The watch word is given:—“Down wits tux banks!” and it will henceforth be the war cry of the Destruc tives. We know that in thia(warfare against the institution* of the country they will meet with strenuous opposition from many of those who have bcretolore acted with the parly. The oppo sition of such.men wjß.jje disregarded—and the only couree MI for them is to unite with the great conservative Whig party of the country, ami, meeting the Destructives al once, openly, boldlv ' and with the fearlessness of freedom, Wrest frem hem the poster they now told id the government tk od drive from office Ihe cxetwra and promoters ch ,f this Jacobinical spirit.

The officers of these ineti- w lotions ere charged with a conspiracy “r» degrade pi embarrath and rUin,it tbit cocld, their own th country'." What asy you to this, you Van Buren m Presidents and officers of Pet Bsnks? Ate you <b guilty of the charge! Will you allow an old and T —as we would fain hope for the office he once si held,—an insane man—to make these charges fi against you, without, for the sake of yourselves and yoot children, meeting them on the threshold and repelling a calumny worthy only of the tnfu- j ( riale bans culottes of the days of Robespierre? 0 We will see. \ The reading of these letters from Gen. Jackson cannot hut awaken fearful forebodings for Ihe fu- ,j tore. The tone, the circumstances, the manner j. of their production and their peculiar stylo and j language prove that they reflect the views of Mr, j Van Buren, and arc the principles upon which >j he will act. The time was not chosen without j reason :—The elections in all the States, but one, where members of Congress were to be chosen, were over, or would he held on the very day on which these letters were issued by the Globe. They could hare, therefore, no effect on such 1 elections, and yet if the elections result favorably , to the Van Buren parly,it will be held to be con clusive in favor of those very measures. The let ( ters arc introduced 100 in connection with Judge While’s course on the Presidential question, by wxy of showing that the people understood Mr. ( Van Buren to be their advocate when a candidate ( for the office he holds, and the very words of the ( letter indicate that he has now taken strong ground in their favor. “I am proud to sec,” says ( one of the lellters, “the firm ami noble stand taken , by the Executive Government on this occasion,” The time has indeed arrived when it becomes necessary for the people to take ground on these questions, and, in the language of the New York Times, “to organize on the greatconscrvative ba sis, between despotism on the one hand and mon archy on the other.” Extract of a letter from General Jackson to the Editor of the Globe, dated Hkumitaoe, July 9, 1837. “Now is tho time to separate the Government from all hanks—receive and disburse the revenue in nothing hut gold and silver coin, and the cir culation of our coin through all public disburse ments will regulate the currency forever herealter —keep Ihe Government free from all embarrass ment, whilst it leaves the commercial community to trade upon its own capital, and the banks to accommodate il with such exchange and credit as best units their own interests—both being money making concerns, devoid of patriotism, looking alone to their own interests, regardless of all other. It has been and ever will lie a curse to the Government to have any entanglement or in terest with cither, or more than a gcneial super intending care of all. But the commercial com munity hitherto has been fostered by the Govern ment to the great injury of the labor of the coun try, until the mercantile aristocracy, combined with tho hanks, have assumed the right te control and manage the Government, as their particular interest requires, regardless of the rights of the great democracy of numbers, who they believe ought to be, and they ure determined they shall he, hewers of wood and drawers of water. 2 re peat, that I am proud to sec the firm and noble stand taken by the Executive Government on this occasion.

Our returns from Richmond, Moore and Robe son counties, continue to exhibit a gain for the Whig cause. From Richmond we have tho poll in three precincts, vix; Saurel Hill, Stewartsville, ami Williamson’s, at which the aggregate vote was, for Deberry 226, Belhune 35. In 1833,the vote was, for Deberry 193, Bethune 65. Deberry’■ gain 33, Bmhune’s loss 30. Tola! gain 63. From Moore we have seen a very intelligent Van Boren man, who had heard from all the precincts but three. He says Bethune’a majority in the county will be about 350. In 1833, il was 416. From Combe Hand and Robeson the returns are complete, vie * Deberry, Bethune. Cumberland, 300 868 Robeson, 342 648 Whig gain in these two counties, 171. We led assucd of the re-election of Mr. Be. berry by a much increased majority, say 7 or 800 voles. From Raleigh, we rejoice to learn that a Grsham has beaten Montgomery in Wake county 67 voles; and at three precincts in Orange he has a majority of 124 voles—This contest will be ex tremely close, and whilst we have hope, w* have also much fear, for the result. From the Wilmington District, we have only a ftw sccttcring returns, but there is no doubt ol the re-election of Oer. McKay, (Van,) by a large majority over Gen. Miller, (also Van.) J. A. Bynum is said to be re-elected in the Halifax District, by a majority of 76 votes over Col. Long (Whig.) In 1835, his majority was 242. Whigg-ain, 168. Charles Shepard’s majority in Ihe Newhern Dis trict is certainly upwards of 600. In 1835, that District gave a majority of 767 against us! In the Granville District, Hawkins is re-elected, Hawkins (Van) 1949, JMacklin (do.) 805, Hen derson (Whig) 762. Piratical. —The ship Rhode’ I.'land, late Cap.

The Tu.nlivy 8 or 9 days previous had been boarded by a pi ratical brig painted black with about 160 men who robbed her of all her provisions water, &e. I even tsking the clothes off the backs of the men of the Tantivy, and stabbing the Captain in the head, and wounding two other men. The Rhode Island reports further, that on the 3d inst. in lat. 31 27, long. 79 W,, spoke brig Monument, of and for New York, and requested her to keep company with hci until she got to Cape Hatteras, which the Capt. of the M. refused to do and bore away, leaving the Rhode Island with the union down, the ship nn her beam ends with 6 feet water in her hold and all her hands al the pump. In the hope that her situation was misunderstood, the weather being boisterous, a board was exhibited on which was written in large lelteis, 6 feet water in the hold. Notwith standing all efforts, the Monument bore away without rendering any assistance, leaving the Rhode Island and crew to their fate.— Savannah Georgian 10(A inst. From Ihe N. Y. Com. Adv.

Philadelphia Banks.— The United States Gazette, alluding to the report in circulation that the Philadelphia Banks were soon about to re sumc specie payments, says:— “Perhaps we ought not to notice so perfectly baseless and absured a rumor; and yet it is possi ble that many who have not lime to examine or reflect, may thoughtlessly give it credit. It may not therefore be amiss for us to say, that not only have none of our banks the least idea of a re sumption of specie payments now, but that such an attempt would be decidedly injurious. Tha same reasons which made a suspension necessry in the first instance, exist in full force now, and it would be madness foi the Philadelphia Banks to undertake to pay specie while all the Banks in New York and throughout the country decline doing so.” B«nnelt h»» the follo*in( which should ha in cor pouted with oar dictionaries The people of the South weet call our shilling, or twclee and a half cents, a bit. It was the prac tice in former times to cut the dollar into eight pie ces,and hence the term bit. When the coinjof the same value came to be emittted, they continued to he called bill.

He was called in the service for four months, r after the expiration of w hich time he volunteered for two months more, which had also expired, and ). he was trying to rotum to New York. Staled he had lost a fine horse about fourteen miles from hero, at a Mr James Williams of this county,where his baggage was, and that Mr. Williams would be up the next day to dinner, with a small waggon or carriage, to assist him on his way as far ns Telfair courthouse. But his baggage did not arrive in duo e time, nor, indeed, at all; w Inch disappointment ho seemed to regret, and wonder at very much.
