We observe some vary good features in the ju t grant ing this Hank. The charter is to be forfeited, \s lien specie is refused in payment for the notes issue i?and the pro|xKrty of the Stockholders is <? pledged in proportion to their res pective interests, for the ultimate re demption of the notes emitted." The following remarkable fact oc curred 011 the &*th nit. at Westbury, in the county of Charles city. A ue gro man descended-into a well for the purpose of removing some ob struction therein, when the well cav ?d iu and tilled within six feet of the ton. Ho soon*as the manager wajj informed of the occurrence, he riet about removing the bricks and earth, and continued the operation so long as a hope remained of saving the ne groe's life, having a due regard fur the safety of those employed above. Early on Friday morning he went to the well and called to the niaii below. Satisfied that.be heard a voice, he again set about clearing the wel, and assisted by negroes from the neigh boring "farms, he succeeded in the evening of that day 111 extricating the slave, after having remained under the ground for two days and one ijight. lie came up very little injur ed. The Georgetown Messenger men Hons the receipt of letters from JS.

It is stated, that a large expedition is to sail from c.adiz for South- Ame rica. It is said to consist of six 74's three frigates, each of forty-four guns, four ditrn of thirty six, seven or eight corvettes, ami several small ?ve->sel?; Transports are colfccting for the em barkation of troops ; ami the whole will set out, we presume?when all is ready. The Rubicon, arrived at New York, brings news that the utmost consternation had been prod ceo 111 r ranee, by the sudden and unex pected fall of the funds. All busi ness, was at a stand; and l()u,lHK) dollars in specie, put up lot the Ruoicou, was stored. * he most pi bahte cause oi the stagnation o* business, is the hea.^ t wiuri b?'?a>i.; to ihe uiaerent j^.wers oi Kurope. The Unfortunate Sword-Hearer <?? the Grand Seignior lia* been ban Cj hed, because, on the way to the iO>que, he accidentally knocked off e Sultan's turban, which the su|>er iiions Turks look upon as an unpro iiious omen. , A traveller recently returned Vom Syria, relates that the city >f' Jerusalem is now in the most Ipplorable state. Its population varcely amounts to twelve tho :sand tdiabitants, who mostly profess the rlahoinmctan religion. The Turk ish soldiers of the garrison are in possession of the keys of the holy sepulcre, and allow no one to enter, who does not pay before hand for his admission. Every stringer is obliged to pay 18 francs for every visit which pays to the sacred iomb. If the following instance of most barbarous incarceration was not co pied from as respectable a paper as ihe Mercantile Advertiser, we -uould deny its credit. We had no idea that atrocities so horrible could be perpetrated in any part* of this enlightened country, under the name of law and the pretence of justice ; " UIKI), on the ?6J) ult. in Orangi count v jail, Mr. AJuttheiv MacKeu ny, between 6l) and 70 years of age.

A letter from,?Capt. 'Thomas L.
