BXTBAO RDINARY CASK OK DEATH, ,
AND SUSPENDED ANIMATION.
Mr. Robert Bur, n highly respectable real- i
drat of Stamford, Delaware: county, <it till* <
Smut, was p seeing out of inn yard, on lua wa- i
gon, drawn by two I.urges, on Finlay week
lasi, nbuui ball past eix in the afternoon. Uy i
some accident befell from the wagon between '
the lore and bind wheels. The hind wheel I
si ruck the back of hia neck, by he did not feel i
it severely at the moment. He got op ahm '
the gate, and remounted hia wagon again. At
this moment befell back and swooned away. I
Having been observed in this situation by
aunts rtf hia family, lie was taken from the !
wagon, and conveyed into the bouse. Ah he '
appeared to be inaensiWe, a physician waa
sent for. In some time his eonaciouene*a ro
tnmed slowly. He recognised every friend
present and gave an account of i lie acci
dent that had befallen him. While talking
Una way he aabed. i
“Where are my arms? Can you tell me ,
where are ray arms! '
Hia friends and the physicicn thought, and
eery naturally so that he was delirious. Yet ,
be conversed sensibly on every topic, but I
fretrirmly, however, making the inquiry.
“Where are ray arms! Where ere ray ,
He wes shown his arms which were laying
by his side.
From Friday evening, he continued in this
stale till Sunday week last. At hall p«nl 9
on that morning, he died, leaving a highly re
spectable lentily disconsolate lor his loan.
By the investigation of the physician, it
appears that the spinal marrow, which runs
Kiear the surface, on Uie back nf iho nock -vee
separated. His heart beat all the time he ■
waa living, but no pulae waa delected in any
of hia limhe, except a alight one m one of his

From the new discoveries in electrical sci
ence, it is now believed lhattliu fluid gene
rated m the brain which a s galvanic battery,
it ihc grcsl agent of life and motion. Thu
spinal marrow is the great conductor from the
brain, throughout the ayslem, the n rvea
■Dialler conductors. When Mr. B. a epioal

have related waa produced, llm head only

natural enquiry; where are my hands where
are my hands!'
tint 111 ordor to undent and the cnuw! ol
those singular phenomena, it it neccaanry to
a • into some explanation of this uhyaiology ol
Uiu human gyalem. The body indeed is com
posed of two entire and perfect systems, nili
ni.iti.ly connected, and leach necessary to the
prolonged existence ol iho other, but either
«d' which many exist for a Limited, liras, while
tne other is pcrloctly suspended.
Ono is called tho system of vegetative life,
and is dependant upon the nervous gan
«lis about the region of the heart and stomach,
ly the influence of those, all iho inaeireihlo
processes ol nature, are carried on—sucli as
digestion, ammahxalion, circulation, ihu
growth and nutriment of every part of the bo
dy, and in put the process ol respiration. All
these imporianl functions arc carnt! on, in
dependant of tho will, and without sensation,
making a perfect system of vegolalivn life.
The brain the great organ ol suitsat on.
thought and voluntary mo'ion, with tins nor
vous system connected with it, make a system
of animal, or senaaliv# life, eupcradiiod to
the lonner, and both acting together, form the
period system. There are cases where chil
dren otherwise of a perfect (urination,a re burn
without any brain.Ritd even exist so for several
days.—There are also cosea related, whore the
body has existed,and all Us voluntary functions
carried on with perfect regularity where the
brain and nerves dependent upon it, have had
their action destroyed by compression, and
even by d .sense.
The spinal narrow is a bundle of nerves
coming from tho brain, and distributed thro
every part of the system. These arc of II
kinds—'.be nerves of sensation, which have
tho power ol conveying pain or pleasure to
iho brain—the nerves of voluntary motion,
which excite the muscles to perform whatever
Uia intellect dictates, ami u» Nir Charles 801 l
bus demonstrated,a third set whoso office it if
to convey to the senaonum a sensation o' mu
lion, or aco teiousnesa of the position ol the
limbs and inuocles.
In the case above detailed all the nerves of
the spinal column appear to have been sep
••ra'ctl, or so compressed aalo destroy their ac
tion. Oi course all the voluntary and sensi-
Lie functions of tho system wore suspended
below the point of seporalion, while the patient
bad a polled command of Ins intellectual bi
vultios and the muscles of his face and 'hroat.
Ho conversed sensibly, bat was utterly un
conscious of the existence nl bis lower extre
mities. It must also be noted that Ihu action
vs the lungs is partly involuntary, and partly
•lependont upon the will. The great sympa
thetic nerve connects the brain with the ner
vous ganglia of tl« chest and lungs, and the
action of Ibis which does not appear to liavu
been injured, msy Itave kept up respiration
eufficienlly for tins purpose ol conversation.
There isanotlier curious idea connected
with this subject It has been repeatedly as
serted. At many circumstances are brought to
prove, that thought and consciousness remain
to the brain after decapitation. This tact goes
to favor that hypothesis. When tho terrible
guillolin was daily and at work, in
the reign ot terror, circumstances of tins kind,
motions of tho eyes, the lips, sad expressions
• •film features, were constantly observed. It
Is even probable that in most cases of violent
death, the brant retains its consciousness long
■tier the body has stiffened. We have re
cords of cases of suspended animation, where
persons, though presenting all the outward
phenomena of death, have retained a perfect
cooeciousness of what was passing, and Itave
afterwards described their feeling* and aensa
•ions. It was even possible—nay, it is prob-
Able—that in caaes whore the bodies of con
victs, are used immediately after execution,
Ibr galvanic experiments, and tho nervous or
galvanic fluid supplied by artificial means,
that the brain isatill in a state of activity, and
Buffering agonies of thought 100 horrible to
dwell upon. Tbe expression ot the counten
ance in bese cases would indicate that tbe re
flections were ol any thing but a pleasing us
(ore.

JUDGE WHITE’S REJOINDER.
Thi*• document Important in a public view,
■part from the persons! mailers to which it more
particularly refers. That it convicts “the Hero of
two wars and a hundred broils" of duplicity,
want of memory, or of voracity, will be regarded
«f less cooeeqaencc, than tbe demonstration it a(*
fords of the cherished atlecuon of the party for «
Treasury Bank.
The intimate relations, which se long existed
between Oea. Jackson and Judge While, the
thorough knowledge, which the latter had of the
views and designs of the former, give great weight
to tbe declaration, that "General Jackson now
toithet a Saak of the (7. Slate « founded upon
the monies of the (7. Slalet, and attacked it the
Treatury Department.
We I teg leave to call the readers attention par
ticularly to the following passages in the Judge’s 1
reply;
“We all know in more than one of hi* messa- 1
gee be recommended such a bank, and I know
that, in 1829, he wished Mr. Grundy elected to 1
the Senate in preference to Judge W. E. Andcr-,
m, because he behoved Mr. Grundy could better
■id in making up * party in Congress to establish
such a hank. . !
“His object, when ho came into the Presiden- '
cy, was to have each ■ Bank; nothing waa said
by him recommending it after Mr. McDuffie's re
port. In common with others, I believed he bad i
despaired of it aftor that report, until I read the ;
Treasury Circular, and from that lima I have be- j
lie red ii wes ra object that he bad never lust;
eight of. and that be and bis advisers have put
into opera'iun a series of measures disastrous to
the country at large, and ruinous to many indivi
duals, in order to prepare the public mind for
aaeh a bank.
“1 have felt it my duty to make these remarks
to prevent, if povsblc my constituents from Iwing
incautiously bd into a trap, which I think has
hern act for the people of the United Stales. I
mean the support of a Treasury Bank. Should
such sn one Iw established, and placed as it must
lie under the control of the Federal Executive, the
power thus conferred, when added to that already
possessed, will give us, to every substantial pur
pose, as complete a monarchy as exists any where,
and one winch will equal, it it does not excel, in
its means of corruption, any government known
to the civilized world."
In confirmation of the correctness of Judge
White’s view, we copy the following from the
Boston Atlas;
“This waa one of Ocneial Jkvksnn’i modes of
o|ir ration; he would first execute a law, and the;;
call on Uongrcsa to putt it. Mr. Van Ouren
will try tbe rsiue game. He will set up bis
Trearnry Bank, and then require of Congress the
passage of all necessary laws. This plan we
know baa Icrn a favorite with the present Execu
tive from the first moment of General Jackson's
election. Mr. Van iluren entered on hia duties
as Governor of New York in January 1829.
Hia first and only important movement while in
Ihia position was the safety Fund Combination—
on union of political ami money pow er hy which
he has since I men able to control the Slate. The
first message in which be stated this doctrine is
not a little remarkable. To nisrxivtr. with
Ut.vas,'saiil Mr, Van Buren, ‘although it isan
iilra which seems to have no advocate; to make
ourselves ihpendenl on Ihoie established Ay
feileral authurihority deserves none.' He then
went on to say that experience is against basks
owjtn vviioi.lt bt tul Statx; and that to

iHiir.sro.xsiaLi nasoNs,’ condemning the prac
tice of leqniiing ‘bonusses' for hank charters; and
advising lhat all legislative measures should refer
exclusively to the safely and stability of the insti
tutions, This wav his opening message. Twis
ty niTB ar riitwanns, tic sent a pedal message
based upon the views dcvelo[ied ntiovc, introduc
ing to the attention of the Legislature the Havkty
Ford Histkxi. With some slight modifications,
the plan i*i< adopted: and from that moment to
Ihia, tho Kifety Fund Interest—your Wall aired
patriots—speculators and gamblers in politics and
storks—in alliance with the foreign population
in the city of New York, deluded hy the erv of
‘Jackson and Democracy'—havk iii'lkii that
Scats with a rod or nmi*. Mr. Van Iluren
remained in office just long tnongli to effect his
abject; fir on the I'Jilt of March following ho re
signed his seal as Governor, in consequence of
hia appointment to a position in the cabinet of
General Jackson.
Mr Van Huron left New YmU perfectly satis
fied with the promise of his Stale policy, and de
termined to carry the same principle into na
tional polities. While on his way to Washing
ton, lie stopped long enough at Baltimore to he
present at n small dinner party given in his honor
to a few of the faithful, and on that occasion look
ground against the Bank of the United 8 ntes.—
He expressed an apprehension that the power of
the Bank nkiht he used against tiir Party; and
declared that it must ho pul down, and that a
TREASURY BANK FOUNDED ON THE
CREDIT AND REVENUES OF THE GUV
EKRMKNT must he substituted in ils ;lncc. —
This would move I lie control of the Public Funds
from Congress to the Executive—strengthen the
Executive—lncrsHvC his opportunities of advan
cing the news of hia fiicnds and insuring the
continued ascendancy of tho ruling party. This
fact we know. We are so informed that there
rail ho no question of the correctness of our
assertion that Mr Vim Huron as long ago us 18‘!!l
advocated the substitution oflliUTiir.*suiiT Bank
under thu control of (he Executive, for u N ation
al Bank under the direction of Congress. This
wav the origul recommendation of General Jack
son in pursuance, no doubt, of the suggestions of
his Safety Fund Secretary. Os this original rec
ommendation, in all his subsequent policy, Mr.—
Van Iluren never permitted him to lose sight;
and General Jackson to Ihu present day adheres
to his first project of a "Dank nf iho United Stales
founded upon the monies of Iho United Slates,
and attached to Iho Treasury Department,”
Tit-Bit*,—Some malicious editor has been
culling and stringing together, ns so many heads,
the tart paragraphs from Judge While’s letter.—
We give a specimen:
Jccksons I'rndencc. —"Tin re is no man who
knows the Ex-President has more confidence in
liis chivalry and readiness to resent an insult,than
I have; hut at the same lime, the history of Ins
life w ill show, that whenever ho intends to make
such a reply as might provoke controversy; he al
ways has timed it so prudently that there should
he a sufficient number of persons present to pro
vein ill tenqier from producing had consequence."
Hit accuracy of A'urrahon.— I “Hi* biogra
pher, if be bo honest in enumerating the many
excalfeut and striking trails la bis character, will
not pul it down that, in hia latter day, he was a
correct narrator of mailers of fiat.”
Uis Losses.— ln lime pad, when the President
has made statements of tacts, which I knew or
believed to he moneau.i, I was ready to find un
apology fur them in what I supposed his decayed
memory; but in this publication, hia statements
of some facts and contradiction of othets, ate so
extraordinary, that I must leave it to others to find
out Ihc cause. I hope it will not he considered
as disic-qieeilul when I add, there is reason to be
lieve the loss of memory is nol the only menial
loss he has sustained within the lust few yeaia."
Hit Style —" Formerly, although his style was
rough and generally nut very good English, yet
it »as nci vans and perspicuous. In this (his last)
effort hr appears bewildered, and to have lost all
distinct recollection of w hat occurred in the first
years of hia administration. It is confused as to
the dales of different facts and transactions, and
huddles together a confused mass of matter, much
of which can have no bearing un the subject,"
Hit Pretent Experiment —‘‘As I believe, he
has come home determined to destroy every man
who dared to differ from him in opinion us to his
succMour, and that it the experiment he is now
making. If it bo his will, let him proceed. An
gry discussion can never add to my comfort, it
may hia. Our temperament and aim are, as I
believe, a little different, I endeavor to take facts
as I know ol delieve them to exist, and tu meet
all the rea;iotisiliilily they justly throw upon me"
Hit Temper.— ‘ In tbe temper he now is, and
with enfeebled faculties, he views every thing n»
an enemy that stand* in the road of hi* ambition.”
Hit .imhitioa. —He ha* determined he w ill die
having tho charterer of a great man. While my
highest ambition is to die conscious that I deserve
the reputation of an honest one."
In looking over the volunteer (oasts given at
the 4th of July celebrations, we often meet with
quaint ideas, amusing as well as original. The
following we take from an account of the cele
bration at Kanawha, in Virginia, the seat of the
great salt manufacture:
General Jackton. —He has struck dead the

Who is the man now in u public office or capaci

lolled! Our political aifairs aie in such a state,that
i those at Ihe head of them, deserve out most une
quivocal disapprobation. Out money and com
I Hierciul aifairs urn in such a condition, from the
- wild and dishonest projects concocted in the

I the vitiated palates of the magnates of the conn

■ limato any of them sufficiently high to so.nl their
names to the world with our commendation and
praise. In this dilemma. I propose, gentleman, to
deviate so fur from the usual practice of having
on this day exclusively political subjects. 1 pro
pose then, Edmund Jt tiffin of Petersburg, Vir
ginia. the talented and indefatigable editor of the
-Farmer’s Register,” and anther of that most in
teresting valuable work, “Essay on Calcareous
Manures.”
This gentleman, by the application of great
teal in hi* scientific researches and his experi
ments, has produced a system of manuring, by
[ which crops of all kinds in our country, may be
doubled and trebled, with a permanent improve
• moot ol tbc land. Not only this; hut these great
advantages are accompanied by another, of at
least equal value. He ha* proven almost beyond
I Ihe slightest doubt, that the country thus manur
ed, ia thereby tendered almost entirely free from
the causes of malaria. He doe* more; he has
lately published, to be distributed gratis, to magis
trates and lioards of health, a part of the number
of his ‘•Farmer's Register,” fur hi* month, con
laining most excellent articles, painting out the
, mode of purifying the air of towns, cities and oth
, er pi ices containing the most abundant sources of
diseases.
Verily,he deserves our thanks. May your ap
probation of Ins virtuous and patriotic exertions,
I lie os a nucleons for the gratitude which posterity
will beat to his name.
In the estimate which our friend Mr. Herbc
•limit I a* formed of Edmund Rulfin, Esq. of the
I “Farmer’s Register," we ful.y concur. Mr. Ruf
fin has for many years lieen known to the agri
\ cullmal world, as a most practical and public
spirited farmer, and hi* labors for the improve
ment of the science of agriculture, have dune no
little good in this and other countries. The ser
vices of such a man, can surely not he far behind
those of the ablest etatoman, fur if the one de
. serves high and enduring praise for looking over
the interests of our country, and protecting it in
its foreign relations, the other merits no less con
sideration, tor his constant and unceasing efforts
to augment the wealth of our people, by alfording
. them facilities in their labors.— Ed. So. .dir.

Looking through an English magazine we sec
“nullification" mentioned as a word of Ameri
can origin. This assertion shews a remarkable
ignorance of the language.
Johnson’s Dictionary (published about 1760)
has the word, and gives it precisely the sense in
which vve employ it, “annul: to make void." j
So, too, says Jones Dictionary— so Walker's
so even Noan Webster’s.
But mueh more ancient authority can be found I
than any of these. In the Lives of eminent men,
hy John Aubrv, there is the following passage. '
‘He (Harlot) was a deist. Hit doctrine he
taught to Sir Salter Raleigh.lleory Earle of North-1
timherland, and some others. The divines of
those limes look! on hia manner of death as a !'
judgement upon him lor Nullifying the Scrip. ,

noonccs the arrival of a courier with an official
account of die battle at Gra, near Guisona, from
which we lake the following extract; —“i be one-

Fuum Maiihiii, June 29th.—“If the Ministers
entertained a hope that the royal decree of am
nesty would create a public demonstration in
, their favor, they must be by this lime convinced
i of their error. An extreme degree of animosity
reigns among pailies. The great body of the peo
ple, however, have judged with calmness, and
declared the speech of the crown to he insignifi
cant and unsatisfactory. The Madrid Gazette
contains a Royal Ordinance, re-instating in their
employments and honours all those who may
have refused to swear to the constitution of 1812,
on condition of their taking the oath of allegiance
lo the new constitution. Another ordinance ot

f the anniversary of the promulgation at Madrid of
. the constitution of (he Spanish monarchy, de
creed and sanctioned hy the general Cortes of
1837. At the silting of the Cortes, the Presi
dent, Don ’Augustin Arguelios, made a speech in
reply lo the address of the Queen Regent (upon
the occasion of proclaiming the new constitution)
in whic'i he characterises that act of his Majes
ty, in conjunction with the amnesty which she
had caused to be proclaimed, as Ihe commence
ment of that now ere, for the arrival of which
every true Spaniard signed, and as the firm sup
port of her august daughter’s throne,notwithstand
ing the disloyalty ofa portion of her subjects,and
Ihe usurpation of a rebel Prince. A proposition
was read a first lime, to the effect that medals of
gold, silver and copper should bo struck, for the
purpose of commemorating the proclamation of
the constitution; to he distributed amongst the
allied Sovereigns, the foreign Ambassadors, the
deputies, and others; and it was referred to a com
mittee lo decide upon the shape and inscription
of the medals.

—"The last accounts from Poros arc to the 17th
ult. At that time 47 persons had died of the
plague, 17 were under medical treatment, and 11
were suspected of being infected. There is every
- teason to hope that, from the precautions taken,
the disease will not penetrate to the Coa.*ienl.
The Captain of the vessel which brought the
plague to Pores has not died from it, as was an
nounced. H< is doomed to a more rigorous pun
ishment. Some of the suitors declared, when on
the point of death, that this wretch, after landing
at a port in Asia, went into a village from which
Iho plague had driven the inhabitants, entered the
house of a merchant, look all the goods which he
found in the depot, end carried them on board his
vessel. A few days since ho made his escape,
hut he has been retaken, and is now awaiting his
sentence. The rebellion in Thessaly assumes a

umme.ice ha»c received Smyrna paper* to May hi
)lh, together with the following letter dated to
SSmthkA, May 13, 1837.
At a late hour of to-day, I learn that the Cas- B
rt, American brig, i* to sail this morning; and ar
, must l« abort. The Plague seems to be on sc
ie increase, and wilt probably continue to in
rcase foi a lime at least. It it laid that from it
ne or two hundred Turks die of it daily. I think ir
not improbable that half this number, perhaps vi
rote, do in fact die. From four lo sis een among b
tie other papulation, are reported, and the num
•er of ihoite is not likely now to be much exag- d
;eratcd. All alarm is past; ami a regular quar- 'I
inline u observed by most persons aside from b
Puik*. Bome of them aUo, it i** said, begin to ii
akc some precaution*. Their religious belief s
hat whatever is lo happen lo them cannot be es (>
;aped,leads them generally to take no precautions, b
iltbough fully aware of the contagious nature of f
be disease.
Within a few days past, a French physician, p
.horoughly educated, has come here for the pur- s
lose of ascertaining the nature of the plague, and t
ocated himself at the Greek Plague Hospital, v
He was, I understand, several months at Alexan- ii
Jria during Ihe prevalence of the Plague there, a
He has full belief in the contagion of this disease,
and says he knows not why he has so long es
caped being infected. He has been commission
ed by the authorities to make whatever arrange
ments he pleases in the Hospital; with an order t
from the Governor that if any thinga befalla the 1
Doctor from poison or other like cause, the lives 1
of the attendants shall go for hit life. He is said (
to be a man of fust rale abilities; and has changed (
the stale of the hospital so entirely, that the peo
ple now feel il a privilege lo be taken there to ie- <
ceive his attention. 1
From the Smyrna Journal , May 20.
The Plague has made no progress during the
current week. Among the Christians there is in
fact a small diminution in the number of cases,
but as the disease continues lo rage with the same
violence among the Tut ks and Jews, it may he
considered as on tho whole unchanged. Still, 1
the course of the disease on former occasions,give
reason to hope that it will not he so terrible this
year as has been feared. At Bournabat, il con
tinuer lo prevail, The number of attacks among
the Turks is 8 lo 10 a day, which, considering the
smallness of the population is enormous.
“Dr. Bulard, a young French Physician, has
arrived herefrom Egypt, for the purpose ofinves
tigating the nature of the plague. He lauded on
the I3tb, and on the 15th entered the Plague hos
pital.
"Dr. B. had under his direction, for six months,
a Plague Hospital at Caio, during the terrible epi
demic which ravaged Egypt in 1835. Th s phy
sician, whose knowledge is as profound, as it is
various, has brought together observations of great
interest on the subject of the plague, and his ob
ject in coming to Asia is to complete his research
es, hy observing it* phenomena in new localities.
Cnoi.suA at Mkcca.—The Cholera haa re
appeared in the holy city of the Mahometans, and
committed great ravages. It is slated that a tenth
part of the pilgrims had died, and two Egyptian
regiments had been completely broken up. In
consequence of thia painful intelligence, Mehemet
Ali had given orders to prohibit pilgrims from re
turning by the usual route through Egypt.
Eorrr.—Alexandria dates to the 261 h of April
state that new eases of Plague continued to occur
there, —chiclly, however among the workmen in
the arsenal, or on board the ships of war. There
was a great scarcity of provisions at Alexandria,
and the poor were on the bordets of starvation.
The prospects for the coming grain harvest were
bail, partly in consequence of drought and Sirfoc
co winds, hut more on account of orders given
hy the Pacha for the general cultivation of cotton,
in the hope of augmenting his revenue, though at
the hazard of the people starving.
He has however been punished for his haihor
ous cupidity, as his cotton mostly remain on
hand. At first ho could hardly bring his mind to
sell at 19 tulaii (ter quintal; and now he has more
than 200,000 quintals on hand, which would
scarcely bring 10 to 12 talari. This state of
things in regard to cotton has produced a severe
pressure upon the Treasury ; so much so that
the army, navy, and workmen are unpaid. In
the mean time they are becoming dissatisfied with
the delay.—ln the hope of providing at least a
temporary relief, Mehemet Ali has given orders
for the establishment of a Bank of Discount at
Cairo, with a capital of 1,500,000 talari.

MONEY MARKET—CITY NEWS.
Thursday, P. M.—Although wc are nearly ten
days without news from Europe, there is very
little anxiety lo hear any thing from that country.
All that is of importance is known. Specie,United
State Bank Stock and Cotton are tepidly going
forward, so that the debt due by this country is
rapidly diminishing. Tho imports are next to
nothing, and there is neither desire nor inclina
tion to make any new orders for goods. The great
embarrassments that our merchants experience
is Irom the great difficulty in our Domestic Ex
changes. Our Banks charge eight per cent for
collecting notes on Michigan, a rate 100 ruinous
to bo endured.
(Exchange on England is gradually fading, there
being less and less demand. Specie is no higher
but rather on the decline.
Freights exceedingly dull to all parts of Europe.
To Liverpool they are taking square bales of cot
ton as low as a farthing.
The visit of Mr. Kendall to this city has attrac
ted the attention of many of our quid nunct, and
it is said that he is now on a mission very like
that on which he was sent previous to the remov
al of the deposits from the United States Bank.
Il is also said that he has been closeted with some
of the same men, who then begun the experiment
of “the (tetter currency” with the Slate Banks.
For this, however, we do not vouch, hut his ap
pearance in the city is consideied as ominons of
some new experiment about lo he inflicted upon
the currency: which in connection with the late
movements of Senator Wright, in behalf of what
he calls a yet UNTRIED EXPERIMENT has
attracted much attention. As we have staled be
lore to our readers, there is now no doubt that the
Administration have agreed upon the proposal of
what is lo be in subslanced an Exchequer Bank;
—and it is suspected that the Post Master Gencr
al has visited this city to arrange with his confi
'iaius in Wall street,the untried experiment that
benat° r Wright is advocating inthe newspapers.
W’ith the very best opportunities of judging
wh it is the stale of public feeling in this great
country on a subject of so much importance, wc
believe we may say with certainty, that the ad
ministration cannot obtain a majority in cither
House of Congress for such a bank. The Re
presentatives of the Slates, or. of Iho people, in
the existing condition of public sentiment, dare
nol legalize the issues of irredeemable paper, or
connect the Treasury with the Government hv
mliusttng it with powers so august, or put into
the possession of the hosts of office holders, the
whole revenues of this conntry.
If General Jackson was the President there is
but hllle doubt that he would this moments take
the responsibility of creating such a‘bank, and
putting forth such issues, and there is something
to fear (though nol much) that Mr. Van Buren
may tread in what ho might suppose would have
been his footsteps. We have reason to believe
that this project has been indulged in. at Wash- I
mgton, and abandoned. Indeed Mr. Van Buren 1
has not the nerve for an opetation of that kind 1
nor the popularity to carry it out. We. therefore’ '
behove the mershants and the people need indulge’
no apprehension of this new Exchequer Bank
even if Mr. Kendsll has been in Wall street hi o' '
ntering for it Congress will not crests it Vir- 1

been shipped for the purchase of goods lor the
fall trade. The Gazette says, that much more ,
will follow in the succeeding packets for the same ,
purpose, and that in the present dubious and un- i
settled stale of affairs, our importers are reluctant
to purchase exchange, even when based on that,
which in ordinary times would appear to be un- '

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULT 1.
In most respects our cotton market this week
has been similar to thatof the last. The demand
good, but being freely met by the holders, prices
of last week were not in all instances maintained.
The trade in the interior has undergone a little
improvement, though the manufacturers of some
descriptions of goods, still pretend to say, that
even with cotton at present rates, they cannot gel
a profit out of it. Some time will lie required to
make matters straight again.
The chief sales made in Upland and Mobile
have been from 5± to 6J, and in Orleans from 5
to6J.
The import of all sorts of cotton into the king
dom since the Ist January, amounts to 781,400
hales, of which 610,800 are from the U. Stales;
against 653,000 of all kinds, and 470,000 Ameri
can received up to this time last year. The stock
at this port, as at present estimated, amounted to
about 375,000 hales against 250,000; and ol
American cotton, wc have 249.500 against 176,-
500 bales, the estimated stuck at the same period

carriage, to assist him on his way as far os Telfair ;
courthouse. But his baggage did not arrive indue m
time, nor, indeed, at all; w hich disappointment ho '
seemed to regret, and wonder at very much. Spoke
in the highest terms of Mr. Williams, and attributed
the delay to sortie providential cause. After two
days stay, purchased or bargained fin a horse of me; ’
said he must go un at any rate, and the third day
employed a son of mine to go and bring his things ,
from Mr Williams; but behold, when my son went |
to Mr Williams', nothing was there, not quite os -4
much as when this Mr'luom came there; fur while
there, he borrowed a pocket comb, and had nottho “
honesty or politeness to leave it when going away.
W hen all this reached me, I was perfectly astonish- ;
ed; but Thorn walked out in the right time to be
out of the way before this. I now know that ho j
must be a scoundrel, and a complete well finished -.
one; for he makes a good appearance, has a harmless, ;
pleasant and firm countenance in conversation, well -V
■ calculated to deceive. He said a great deal about '3
doing business for Lavctty & Gantly in New York, '.3
a house which he said done a very extensive buji 1
ness. He lias either read or travelled considerably,
fur he seems to he well acquainted with the most of.
