Tins COBLER OP SEVILLE. A imkih enomcu or t«e t«xe 1860 The IMI nyi of the rilling run still illnmi nrd the emrnnit of tlir celebrated lower o! Gisaida, adjoining ihe cathedral at Seville; a raultiiode of people were crossing the great rquarc of B*n Antonio, bending iheir alepe to wards the edifice; the doors were thrown open, and, al the extremity, amid the blaze ot my riads ol tapers, might be seen the host expos ed to public view, elevated on the tabernacle of the altar, surmounted by a rich canopy of scarlot velvet, embroided in gold; the laniin bled crow were offering up fervent prayers to heaven that the scourge of famine, which [had attacked the province of Andalusia, might be averts L The scanty produce of the last years had been secretly stored up by greedy speculators, who waited till the desolation had made farther progress in its ravages, and in creasing the number of victims, before they opened their granaries, calculating that in the height of the calamity the proceeds would (ill thair coffers, . , . . At the foot of the tower was a small simp or •tall,above which was painted, in rude charac ters, “Fraquillo ZapaUrn," indicating to the surrounding neighborhood than an able and willing hand was ready, on receiving an honest remuneration,to repairthe dilapidations wh ch long use had effected on that necessary article which protects the feel—in plain terms, he wm a mender of soles. Contrary to the indo lent habits which have been long regarded as character slic of the Spaniard, Tin Fraquillo worked moat vigoToualy,aingiug all the psalms and cauticlea with which lias memory was stored, to the accompaniment <>l the organ which pealed forth its notes trotu the cathe dral. Whilst the people prayed and lamen ted in the churches, and the the Ate Marias in their convents, Tio ham mered and studied away in his stall, consi dering, with swell founded scepticism the period in which he lived far removed from that of the miracle of the loaves and fishes, and that the surest method of triumphing over female waa to amass a hoard of maravodiea. On leaving tho cathedral, th t populace for med themselves ihtogroups ; low sullen mur mura were heard, the crown regarding each other with terror, and became frightened at the aapeet of their number. Fear ami hunger engendered selfish thoughts, and these gave place to others still more sinister. As the re. sources could not be augmented, they thought the best means ol making them last the long est possible lime was to reduce the number of consumers. The ink a hit ants of Hie gate of Castile talking of setting lire to the populous quarter of Mama Maris ; the lerreadores and man las for tint latter plotted a m issaero ot the former, but the design which seem d to obtain the most general approbation was to invade the convents, whence they expected to obtain ample means of snbaisiance. In the midst ol this sullen agitation, oml excited state of feeling, two old men traversed the square, and drank m with eager ear* tins various complaints and propositions of the as aemhled groups. They at length met each othei in an obscure angle, near Fraqmllo's stall. K wqs dark, and the colder was pre paring to light his lantern, when he perceived them direclinglhcir stops towards a secluded hook of the tower,to hold a secret cunvers i lion. Curiosity induced him to lay aside his lantern, and listen to what imghl pass between them. •• Uy St. Antonin, the patron of Seville 1" •aid one of them, ruhlimg Ins hands, and throw ing a cautious look nrounJ, “ Adairs go on marvellously well, Don Guttieres, our gram will soon be metamorphosed into fair and weighty pistols." “11 is silence !" said Gut tiercs, • Your imprudence is intolerable, Don lllmgaa, wc shall be pillaged and assassinated by the mob, through your rill-iinicd gossip. You ere suspected of having com concealed tn your cellars, I advise you to ho upon your guard. I have just hoard of a projected mis ■acre at the gate of Castile. "A massacre at the gate of Castile! arc you sure? Unt no, no! they will rather pay you a visit; I distin tly heard sutcral gruupcs form the de sign of setting fire to the quarter of Santa Maria, no doubt with tho intention of taking possess on of your granaries." " Oh, 1 am not afraid ol lliat," said Guttieres, in a lone far from expressing tranquillity, I have made my people suppose my ware house were filled with sacks ofaalt and hugs of pep par." “ And I," said Urtngus, “with the as sislance of my wife and daughter, have ar ranged all the barrels in the cellar with the inscription ol vinegar and oil ii,a>e them ; therclore 1 have no fears on the subject. Uo ■idea," said the old ouimndgoon, lowering his voice, “ the corregidor, Don Herrera, has « liking fur my daughter, and in case of danger, 1 can rely on his protection, lam just now going to inform him of what you have been telling me." “My old friend, dnitl tail to give him a hint of watching over my quarter •Iso.” " Consider it as our interest mutually to protect each other; should your stores or mine tall into the hands of Ihe populace, there would boa terrible fall in price for the next two or three months, and before a fresh scar city and rise tako place we might receive sup plies from Cadi* or Grenada; therefore, 1) m Brings*, put in a word for me as well as your •elf." “ You are right, brother, 1 wh ill re commend you in strung terms to the corregi dor, nor from interested motives, but from liuro friendship." *• Take care not to let him mow the cause of your alarm.” “ Never fear ! Farewell, Don Gullierer." “God be with yon, Dun Dringaa." The two old mon shook hands most cor dially and Bcperated. Momolime had already elapsed before Fraqu.llo had coma to any de termination upon thcconduct he should adopt respecting this important secret. Suddenly an uproar broke out in the square and the cry ‘‘To the convents.'" vociferated by the crowd assailed his ears. Al the same tune they proceeded to tho shop of Perez Cruoialo, the gunsmith, who had barricaded Ins house, on the appearance of a tumult. At the fi st attempt to effect an entry, i'erez's gruff voice was heard irom an upper window, exclaiming “Away with you, or 1 fire I” Every eye was raised and from the window of the second story was perceived a blunder buss levelled at the populace who retiring n little replied by a volley projectiles against the window. The affair was about to become se rious, when public attention was called off hy ■ mss, who, elevated upon a stool, loudly en gaged the multitude to be silent and listen to < what he had to say. Instead ol exhausting yourselves by disputing with the gunsmith yonder who will only silisfy your empty sin machs 'vjth leaden bullets, give ear to me ; Tio Fraquillo the cobler will procure bread, f.<r all,and it he lies he will permit you to roast hi iin the open square I.ke tho venera ble Ml. Laurence. Close your months for an hour, and you shall open them afterwards t > good purpose.” Silence was immediately oh- i lamed and those furthest oil'got on the shoul ders of the others to hear the magical word* which Fraquillo was ahoul to nUer. Just as Tio was about to unfold his previ oua secret, a corps of cavalry tmde its appear •nee in the square, and the cry of«pi«s*gef ( .r the King !” was suddenly heard. The Tram- i isbed crowd silently made way for the proces sion which advanced slowly am dst the clan- ' gor of trumpets, the tramping of horses and the blaze of torches borne at equal distance ‘ by alguazils of the town. The Curregidor, on > I foot led the King's horse. The boisterous 1 multitude was struck with panic and with s'u- 1 por. Those who eo recently were loud in ’ their vociferations and whose features exhibi ted signs of fury and anger, now turned pales'* before the tyrant who became irritated by the I cold reception he met with from his subjects; < one voice alone which obtained no echo, broke i the uatrenil silence; that of an aged J woman who exclaimed "long lire Doc Pedro, long Vve (be King ” Pedro the cruel, stopped hi* hone end com mendud the author of this acclamation to be brought before him. Ttie Alguazils obeyed the royal mandate. “Why." said Don Pedro to the old woman, “while ell the poeple trembled sod remain silent in my presence, do you alone wish me | long life; are those w t* he* ex pressed in smeen t v or in derision t" •‘Sire," replied she “1 never addressed a more fervent piyerlo heaven. Iw 11 tell you my motive provided your Majesty will pus yon r word lliut no harm will he done to me for having told the truth." Pedro hesitate I a moment between anger and curiosity ; but the Utter prevailed. Thu 1 people pressed forward to see what the King 1 would do, and hear what (he beggar had to say. “lie it so!" said Pedro; "you have my royal proinis'-." “I should prefer your word of a Castillian gentleman," said sue. ••Voitliavo it," replied . tho king. | “ Well, *ire," said the old woman, "thir is the truth. Voiir ro) al grandsire was a wick ed and cruel king, who rendered Ins subjects unhappy; your lather » as m >rc so; an I your Majesty is still more wicked and cruel than either of them; therefore do I prsy Go I to prolong your lie, lest your successor prove worse than you " ilavnig uttered these words, *hc speedily retired, and became lost •among the dense , crowd** Pouro pressed forward, and having arrived at the palace of Las Mercedes, he remained alone with the corregidor, and severely repri minded him for the scarcity and misery in which i is negligence had plunged the town and province. The unfortunate corregidor n vain endeavored to excuse himself hy slat ing the deficiency ol the harvest during the Inst six years,whichjonly augmented the royal displeasure; und ended m a threat of dismiss al, as being I lie cause of the enmity wh ch the pe qdu bore towards their sovereign. The populace, however, gradually disp'T* cd, aid scattered in several streets. The square of St. Antonio was dark and deserted. Tio Fraquillo, returned to Ins stall congra tulating himself that the timely arrival of the king had prevented him from divulging the secret which he had learned from the two monopolists. He reflected with shuddering that a few momenta later, and the king would have found the town in a state of insurrection, the quarters of Min Antonio and the gate of • Castile delivered up to pillage, and, jiossibly, the bodies of Don iintigis and Don Gnltieres traded along the streeis ; mid that tho king enraged might have demanded the name ol the author of the miscli el, and have been told that it was Tio Fraquillo. *• Alas I" said he to himself, “ what I know m’ghl, nevertheless, appease the wants of my pour famishing townsmen, my secret might restore to strength ami vigor those who arc now dying ot hunger, but I pray God and my patron saint to keep mo from revealing it to anybody. Wlintsliull 1 do?—Oh! if I were hut corregidor for four and twenty hours, poor poop ol you should have cum to grind, ami broad to cat." Fraquillo startled with fear, for his door was opened, and perceived, by the feeble light of his lantern, an individ ual nmtllcd up in a mantle, present himself \ before him. ‘‘What were you saying jo-d now, Fraquillo!" said the mysterious person ■ ngu m a severe tone ol voice. “ What was 1 saying, Senior,” replied Ihe cobbler alarmed —Oh, no harm senior; I was tall;mg io my self.' •• Well, repeat what you said ’—“Me teor," replied Fraquillo, “ I was saying, if 1 wore corregidor only for twenty lour hoars, to-morrow the people should all have bread to oat." Thu cluck ol the Girsldu lower struck nine. “It is now nine," said the stranger, until the same hour to morrow, your are cor regidor, but if you do not keep your promise, the hangman shall deprive you us office. Fare well. 1 Tio rubbed Ilia oyss la assure himself ho was well awake, and upon looking up, saw nobody, und perceived tbu door «l his shop closed.— "How's lliis!" murmured he,“have I been dream ing! And in reality corregidor of Seville!—non sense!—some wag lias been amusing himself al my expense, and aews “> ft*s*a— Scarcely bad a quarter ot an hour passed when he hoard the sound of footsteps; the steps drew near, and soon the corregidor, accompanied hy six alguazils, mado their appearance before the stall, which its proprietor quitted to receive Ida visitor. "May it please your worship," said Don Her rani bowing, "Ihe king my inasle , has sent mu is invest you with my rank and authority. This roll of parchment, signed by Don I’cdro, gives you the title of corregidor of Seville, and here arc Ihe ttlguarila charged ,1° execute your orders."— Having said these words, Don He rara made Ids obeisance and witlideew. Fraquillo, holding the important document in Ids hand, watched Ida retiring steps with mingled feelings of astonishment and doubt. At length he returned to Ids shop, and by the Dickering light of (ho lanthorn unrolled the parchment which hud been presented him. “SUM the threat of the gallows, no doubt,” said ho, "it was the king htinsclf who spoke to me.— His majesty wished to lake mu at my word in hopes of strangling me before Ids palace windows. However, by Ml. Francis, he shall not have Ids w sh. And since lam in good earnest corregidor until 10-morrow night, we shall see who will be caught, Don Pedro the cruel, or Tio Fraquillo, the cobbler." Tio then drew out two scraps of paper beneath Ilia counter, and dipping a bad pen into a pot of blacking, hastily scrawled the following o der:— • Wc, Corregidor of Seville, order and com mand that D-m Itringas tw immediately hanged, unless ho prefer delivering up to the public gra naries the com which is concealed in his ware houses. (Signed) Dox Paxiiciuo, “Corregidor of Sevi.lo.” H iving drawn up a similar order in favor of Dun Gutlreres, he divided his alguazils into equal parlies, and dispatched them to the respective quarters of tho Gate of the Castle and Santa Ma ria, enjoining them to take with them an escort of soldiers, distribute among the bakers n quanti ty of corn sufficient for a day's supply us bread, aod to ca ry lire remainder to the public grana ries. He specially recommended to them secrecy and despatch. "If you devialu in s single point from my instructions," added Fraquillo, "1 warn you rbat at the same hour to-morrow I shall be dismissed and hanged; but I swear to you, by Uecltebub, that the hangman shall have stretched : your nocks before he come to lake me." The aguazds hastened to execute with Ihe ni cest punctuality all that the now corregidor had commanded them in a manner so likely to stimu ta e their zeal and exactitude. Dan lliingas and Dm Guttieres, after a few minutes hesitation, preferred delivering up their stores, and the next morning the people awoke in the midst of plenty.

In chancery—before the Vice t-Uoncanor-” AU |n U, |he matter of lha assignment of Senses Mutwart. _ ■ In the month of Ap'd last, Mr. Stewart made an assignment lor the benefit ol his creditors to I Edward M. Gould, Stephen Crocker and Chart** P. Ur Win, Messrs. Gould and Crocker dc j dined acting, and Mr. He Witt accepted the trust. An application war llicr.-oupon made to this Court, upon a allegation of these tec’s, and the forlhFr allegation, lhal Mr. l>e VN ill, ihe a 'j l * mg assignee, was with mt pecuniary icspmsi-ill ly, hy several of the creditors of Mr. Siewart, to appoint David C. Porter aud James Btokard a* : ss-ignees in place of those who had declined, to execute the trusts contained in the assignment, tn I conjunction with Mr De Will. After argument. 1 ! and while the matter waa under advisement, the I Solicitor for the petitioners, by tho consenlof all | the praties except Mr. Stewart, on tbc ITlh ol i .Inly last, entered an order sppointing Mc.srs. I | Henkatd and Porter as assignees, to act in con- I junction with Mr. D* Will. On the Ist instant! an application was made on ■ behalf of Mr. .Stewart, by Mr I). Graham, Jr. as i j bis Counsel, to vacate the order of tbc 1 Tth of • ! July, as being irregularly entered, and on the g ound that the Court had no power by law to , in ike such an order. He contended that where . there arc more assignees than one, all of whom hut one decline acting, the trust vested entirely in . that one, mid that although the Court might re , move him for good cause, anti appoint another in his place, yet lhal so long as he continued to act, | no authority existed lo associate others with him I in the execution of the trusts contained in the assignment; and that hy the declension of those associated with him in the assignment, the acting 1 assignee stood in the same situation as if lie alone hod been originally appointed. Mr. Charles Graham for the creditors and the newly appointed ass gnccs, contended that this ■ Court had the right lo make Die appointment in question,and that in this case it was necessary, in order to protect the assigned property, which, to ! gelher with the interests ot the creditors,owing lo the irresponsibility of the remaining assigned, might otherwise materially suffer. The Vice Chancellor, after taking time U) con sider. decided that Inc order was improperly en tered, and that so long as one of the assignees ori ginally appointed, accepted the appointment, the ! declcnsm.i n.*me other, gave tho Court no author ity to into, tern by appointing others in their stead. The whole estate vested in the assignee who had accepted, subject to the trusts declared in the as , signinenl, and subject also to tho right ol the i Court lo remove him upon a proper case being mado out for that purpose, but in no case could i the Court associate others with him in Ihe execu tion of the trust* in place of those who had de clined. He therefore directed the order of the I7tli of July, appointing Messrs. Bcnkard and Fuller, to be vacated and that the petitioning cre ditors pay lo Mr. Stewart his costs of the present application.—.V. V. Slur. Ptoromxo itr Steam.— An English paper describes un experiment of ploughing hy steam which took place at lied Muss, near Horwiclt in the early part of June; it is said lo have been quite successful. Wc will first shuw tile construction of the machine and the result of the experiment. It is described ns an engine that is not locomotive hut remains stationary while the plough is at work, and tiio plough is set in motion by means of two long, flexible belts of iron revolving round two wheels attached lo tho engine and round st!t!‘.V,cr wheel in a frame firmly fixed on the moss, gt such a distance from the engine ns may be proposed I* make the furrows. Tiro end of these hells are fixed lo the two ends of the plough and mill it io aud fro, for il does not turn in working but cuts a furrow both whor. it recedes from, and returns to the engine. This operation is described us most satisfacto ry, the plough turning a furrow 18 inches bro;d. U inc os, thick, and more than 300 yards long in less than four minutes, and that with a precision which no common plough could equal. The moss, when thus turned is harrowed, manured with chaiied peats reduced lo powder, and being sown with grass seeds or clover produces excel lent crops, as was very satisfactorily proved by those luxuriantly growing on the spot. As peats also serve admirably for fuel for tho engine, the moss itself supplies all the requisila* for its own improvement. The ingenious projector, Mr. Forks was tudefaUg.liU in explaining the parti culars of Ids plan to the gentlemen wno nan as semblcd lo inspect il, and who expressed them selves highly gratified as writ as impressed with a favorable opinion of its great utility. Hoahiiixo.—Tho editor of tho New York Gazette relates two instances of hoarding, which have occurred within his own knowledge. They may convey instruction lo some, end amusement to others. An old lady showed him a bag of dol lars which had been long kept in a strong box. Tho number amounted, if lie recollects aright, lo three hundred. She informed him they were a present from a friend on the birth of her boy.— “And how old is the little rogue,” we asked her, “Why there he is, hoeing corn—he was born the day of the battle of Lexington, amt that makes him fifty years last April” “Bui have they ne ver been put to interest, during that period!”— "Lor, dear stir, no; they nave never been oul of this chamber, and I set as much by them as the apple of my eye." Tho old lady lived several yours afterwards,'fell into a state of futurity, and her heirs reaped the benefit of that which sbehud deprived herself the use of, sml which would have contributed to her present necessities und the coat forts of life. The other case was that of a man of wealth. He had a trustworthy servant whom he trade follow him down the cellar. "Here, Foul," said ho, "is s tea kettle full of gold, which 1 want lo reserve for a rainy day; dig a hole, and cover it op; no one knows or is lo know, any thing about It. No account us it is in my books or papers, am) you are entrusted sole’y with the secret." Twenty yearselspsed.attd the merchant died. Alter an inventory of his property had hern taken, and his estate administered upon, Paul, in the simplicity and honesty of his soul, took aside the executor of the will, related tho ciicumstances, dug up the kettle, and restored its contents into the hands of its rightful owners.— It is injustice duo lo tho executor lo say lhal he rewarded him for his fidelity,by purchasing a farm and stocking it, which rendered him comfortably situated during lifo.

THE ROARING OF THE LION. General Jackson in all his Massages after the removal of the deposites up to the slh ol March last, was vociferous in his commendations of the “experiment” and his pots. The country had a right to suppose, if they could believe him and his officers, that the system they had adopted was the best the wit of man had devised. It was perfect in all its parts. The public money was entirely safe—it was in the keeping ofbanks of “high cha racter and undoubted strength,’ and which were managed by men of “unquestioned probity and intelligence.” We subjoin a few extracts from the General’s Messages, that the reader may contrast the views then entertained, with those recently expressed in his letter to F. P. Blair. In Ins Message of’33 he says; “The Stale Banks selected ate all institutions of high character ond undoubted strength; and are under the management and control of men of unquestioned probity and intelligence.” In the Message of ’34 vve find a paragraph to this porport: “The State Banks are found fully adequate to the performance of all services which were requi red of the Bank of the United Stales, quite as promptly and with the same cheapness. They have maintained themselves and discharged all these duties, while the Bank ofthe U. States was still powerful and in the field as an open enemy ; and it is Tiut possible to conceive that they will find greater difficulties in their operations, when that enemy shall cease to exist.” In the Message of 1835 is the following : j “By the use of the State Banks, it is ascertain icd that the moneys oflhe United States can bo collected and disbursed without loss or inconven ience, and that all the wants of the community in relation to exchange and currency, are supplied as well as they have ever been before.” Posterity will scarcely believe that the same man, who wrote these passages gave utterance to the following in reference to the same institutions. But if they do, they will have to consider him a very inconsistent and wrathy old gentlemen, and think his pets had a hard time of it in his service' “The history of the world never has recorded 1 such Imse treachery and perfidy as has been com mitted by tho deposile banks against the Govcrn , ment, and purely with the view of gratifying Bid dle and the Barings, and by the suspension of specie payments, degrade, embarrass, and ruin, if they could their own country, for the selfish , views of making largo profits by throwing out millions of depreciated paper upon the people— selling their specie at large premiums, and buy ing up their own paper at discounts of from 25 to • 60 per cent, and looking forward to he indulged . in these speculations for ycais to come, before they resume specie payments.” N. 1.

Mosday, Aug. 2Xst, 1 j o’clock, P. M. For the financial year, ending October, 1830, the imports of Bullion and Specie into this coun try were as follows; liui.tON. s>euie. Gold. Silver, Gobi. Silver. England, 2,310,045 France,on the Atlantic, 1,809,014 2,589,702 Mexico, 4.441,702 Chili. 03,704 95,902 Oth. places, 104,123 224,010 412,373 1.313,005 1,913,137 318,350 5,318,725 6350,669 Here we see that the supply of gold from En gland and France is almost equal to the supply of silver from the mining countries of Mexico and Chili. The circumstance is a very strong point against tho contemplated scheme of banishing paper entirely from the currency of the country. With all our vast resources, we could not extract five millions of silver dollars fiom Mexico and Chili, while, by the simple artifice of raising the standard of gold, we could force from the two greatest commercial countiics of Europe over $4,800,000 in gold.—The extent of our com mercial relations with France and England,gave us an enormous power over their precious metals. Now that confidence, the basis of our credit is gone, the tale will be a different one. For the financial year ending October 1837, we should not be surprised to find the imports dwindle down to one million from England and France. They continued, it is true, vigorously up to March 1837, but since that time, the business has al most ceased. In another point of view, the above table is in teresting. The importation of the metals from England and Frame was carried on without re ferencc to the settlement of the balances between between the two countries. Why ! Because our great staple—Cotton, was the acknowledged | medium, through which all claims against us I were paid up. If this government persist in its 1 proposed plan of destroying the paper system in 1 | toto, specie will have to go from this country to j j liquidate all balances against us, for the English j j and French will send their metals to buy our ’ cotton. The entire destruction of the bill system i will tend to bring down the price of cotton, be cause thereby the value ol real money will be enhanced. s The Congress ofthe United Stales will have a ‘ difficult game to play. Hitherto the importation ! and exportation of the precious metals into and , from this country, were regulated as matters of . commerce. In the very fact of an cnormocs debt l to England, we could import over two millions of gold from our creditor. How! It Tfcgic as a matter of merchandise. For wbat w* owed Eng- ' land, wo were expected to pay in value of material for her manufactures, and not in value of specie or bullion. Wbat has Congress to do then? For the interests of the country, that body should protect v Jhe mercantile interests, & not knock them down, o Fhat body should give the Union an equal cur- a rency, and regulate the exchanges on such a foot- I iug, that the tax should not exceed 1 per cent on ‘ a hundred dollars from Portland to New Orleans. £ Fhe preservation of our trade with France and s England on a firm and secure foundation •huuid be a principal object with the legislature Establish • currency enJ a eyetem of Wehangw htt politic*) raacality c»nnoi touch, and th* tato ( norm will be a* a thing of other daya-oor com- » menial prosperity will .lowly but aurely tocorer I Irom tho late severe »hock. ‘ , ' In a commercial point of new theft, the approa- | cbiijff session will be one of the moat important , meeting* of Congrcaa lince the organization of t the government Thi.

( Sunday night—The traflic in specie continues ( to be as extensive as it has been since the suspen sion of specie payment** One hundred ami fifty thousand dollars in specie lias been received at the Branch Bank in Pittsburgh on account of the [J. ft. Bank at Philadelphia! and the Pittsburgh Advocate intorras ns that Western merchants arc occasionally passing through that place with kegs and boxes of specie, destined for the payment ol their debts in the eastern cities. The American of Saturday evening says, that it understands that a meeting of the Banks in this city was held a day of two since, when a com mittee was appointed to correspond with (be Banks of other cities, to take into consideration the ex pediency of fixing a lime and place for holding a Convention for the purpose of making attangc ments to'resume specie payments. South Carolina .Voles. —A slip from North Carolina received by express mail informs us that the discount upon South Carolina notes has been materially reduced, in consequence of the reduc tion of the premium fur Northern checks in Char leston to 3 per cent and the incteased facility for procuring such funds. Charleston notes are now taken at 5 per cent, discount, and Cheraw at 6.- The Cheraw Bank, we believe, continues to exact ft per cent for checks. The Fayettville Observer says, that the North Carolina Banks have not practised this kind of extortion. They have sold their checks at 1& 3 per cent premium, although they have not been able for months past to supply the demand. The Slate Bank of North Carolina has pub lished a statement of its affairs and the following appears tc have been the result on the 23d July as compared with the affairs in May : Specie 509,477 89 in May. Bills and notes and bills of exchange 3,001,581 48, against 4,462,195 81, being a reduction ofits debt of $461,000 in two months. Dcpositc of the United Slates, 168,848 13, against 536,328 12. Notes in circulation, 1,291,550, against 1,454,510 in May, a reduc tion of 150,000. Surplus profits on band, 209,- 274 06. Individual deposites 268,366 83. The Express Mail of Saturday brought slips from New Orleans of the 12th. Tho ninety days limitation of the Banks for the suspension of specie payments expired on the 1 Ith. The New Orleans Banks arc procuring specie as fast as their means will permit o*', to resume payment as soon as possible. The New Orleans Courier says, that the City Banks collectively, are in real ity stronger at the present lime, as regards spe cie on hand, in proportion to their circulation, Ilian they have been at any time during, proba bly, two years past. The crops throughout the New England, as well as in the middle and most of the Southern and Southwestern Stales are, we are happy to learn, full of promise to the husbandmen. The wheat crops in Maine promise an abundant harv est, four fold larger than over before, and instead of importing 150,000 barrels of flour as was the case last year, probably the present crops will more than meet all the wants for home consump tion. The State of Maine last year expended not less than two million five hundred thousand dol lars for flour alone. This year the slate will be compelled to pay something like three or four hundred thousand dollars as its promised bounty to every farmer who would raise over forty bush els of good wheat. The wheat crop will, there ■ fore, not only be abundant, but the wheat prom ises to be of a superior quality. In York county the last year 1500 barrels of Hour wore imported, and next to Dronlirck, York is, perhaps, the best graining county in the whole state. Instead of importing wheat into York county, the home supply will be extensive enough to meet the wants of the neighboring counties. In Penobs cot some of the farmers have sown twenty five acres with wheat, and a gentleman from B-.mgor informs us that much of it will yield from 25 to 30 bushels to the acre. We were in error a few days since in saying that the Manhattan Company had returned to specie payments. The Bank pay none of their deposits in specie, and for their Bills they pay throe fourths in the Bills of oilier Banks, and one fourth in specie. This is a most extraordinary mode of proceeding,—one (hat neither benefits the public nor adds any credit to the Bank. STOCKS. Saturday, P. M.—The operations at the Board to day arc more extensive although the few is a trifling decline —United States, Delaware. Ameri can Trust, Harleam and Boston all fell off.— Large sales of Utica at rather improving rates— more doing in specie. Treasury drafts five per cent premium. CHARLESTON MARKET, AUG. 21.
