The hard money system.-This system exists in perfection in France. We ae tract the 'dllowing- from ik exchange pa per. - The Bank of France.-Has in its vaults 236 milions of francs In-specie; its notes in circulation'amount to. 12 millions; the de posits on account of individuals are 59 millions; deposits of the government 180 millions; its port-folio- contains 165 mil lions. consisting of paper not yet due. How extensive the facilities aWorded to commerce by this institution, and yet what prudence-in her management, evinc ed by the last named item. Righly Important Decision of the Su rreme Court of the United States.-Those of our readers who are of the legal profes sion, have doubtless read of the case to which the Bank of the United States was a party. which was tried before the Cir cuit Court of Alabama, and afterwards carried up to the Su preme Court. An ex change paper tbus states the case: . In 1837. the Bank of the United States, having funds in Mobile, purchased a hill of exchange to remit to New York . This bill not having been paid either at New York, or by the drawer, the Bank of the United Staies instituted suit in the Cir cuit Court of Alabama, to recover the mo ney due on the bill. In that Court it was -decided, that the contract involved in the purchase of the bill, was void; because it was a contract made by the.Bank of the United States in the State of Alabama; whereas, a Bank, incorporated by the State of Pennsylvania, can do no act out of the limits of Pennsylvania, &c. From this decision an Appeal was made to the Supreme Court of the United Stateq,which reversed thejudgnent rendered by the Cir cuit Court in Alabama. Mississippi.-We extract from an ex change paperi the following captions of Acts passed 'by the Legislature of this State, at is recent Session. An act to abolish imprisonment fordebit. An act for the suppression of tippling houses. An act further to discourage and sup press Gaming. An act for the benefit of Education. An act repealing all laws now in force taxing fees to attorneys and counsellors at law. An act for the protection and preserva: tion ofthe rights and property of married women. An act to free from taxation the soldiers 'of the Revolution. An act.for the punishment of public de faulters. Branch Bank of Darien at Milledge eille,-At a meeting of the Directors of this Bank on the 27th uIt,, e resolution was passed, to suspend specie payment. It was also Resolved, That this Bank, will pay an interest of seven per cent. upon all sums of one hundred dollars, and over, deposited in the bills of said Bank during the sus pension. The Cihier begs leave to say to the bill holders of this Branch, that they need be under no apprehension in relation thereto, as the assets of this Branch are more than ample to meet all its liabilities. Bank of Hawkinsville.-Tbe Staidard of.Union says in relation to this Bank: We are acquainted with a number of the stockholders in that institution, and there areseveral of them. who could re deem its whole circulation, if the bank and all its effects were burnt uip and when it is known, that the individual property of the stockholders is bound, we cannot con ceive the slightest cause of distrust. A Taatr~tse [NcIDENT.-Who is not pained and shocked at the fierce and vio lent altercations which often take place in Legislative bodies? Who is not filled with deep sorrow to see the hateful and vindictive passions exhibited by members of opposite parties, towvards each other ' One almost thinks that these men have lost all the kindly feelings of human na ture. It seems to him that party spirit has banished every thing good from the breasts of these partizans. For the honor of human nature, such is not the fact. Let but some circumstance of a peculiar char acter arise, and instantly every evil pas sion is hushed--discord is banished from the assembly, and good feeling universal Jy prevails. A chord is struck in every bosom. We have been led to make these dent which occurred during the sessiun of the late Congress. We'extract the following from the Na tional latelligencer. When Mr. Cambreleng moved, in Sat urday night's sitting, that the House go into committee on the whole, on the state - of the. Union, to take up certain appropri ation bills. Mr. Chambers asked him to withdraw his motion to enable him (Mr. C.) to make a statement; and Mr. Cambreleng havmng wvithd~rawn his motiona. Mr. Chambers said - the statemuent he wished to make related to a matte, affecting himself, in Some'de gree, and he would therefore bately sub mit it to the House to do in the matter wvhat might seem rigut ancf proper. He said he had for some weeks past, and du ring the last session, been waylaid about the rotunda and on the stairs ahd passage of the Capitol by a lean, hungry, starved looking man, who met him at every turn, and the vision ofwthose ghastly face haun ted him even in his hours of rest. This man had been one of the real Ia boring men; a sub-contiactor-who had macadamised the beautiful avenue imme diately in front of the Capitol during a pe riod of deep calamity and distress in the city, *when the cholera prevailed. The vupertntendetnt of the work having reserv ed the right to abrogate the contract for ani delay or suspension of the wvork, re fusqed to pormit the contractor to superin tend it, but sent physicians among tht la borers to advise them not to work early in the morning or late in the evening. and not to work hard at any time. Disease, death and alarm, soon dispersed the greater part of the-operative force, the contractor was ruined, and the sub-contractor was involv ed in all the worst consequences of the failure, and in debt for a great part of the labor. He had repeatedly been imprisoned for debt, and separated from an interesting family for want of bread to feed them; dis ease had followed, and the man was now, and had been, for many mionths hers.so liciting justice at the hands of the Govern ment, in a state of actual suffering for the comforts of life, while this government owed him upward of five thousand dol lars, which for years he has been beg ging for-yes begging for justice-for he is broken in spirit, and suffering has almost made him mtatd. The Senate (Mr. C. said) had at last passed a bill for his relief, and this day while the House was in session, the comnmittee over which he had the ho nor to preside (ad it was a high honor to preside over that committeefor they earn ed their daily bread) had examined the bill, and ordered him to ask leave to report It without amendment, and ask a depart ure from all the rules which might obstruct its commitment to a committee of the whole; and he would even ask that it should go to the committee of the whole on the state of the union. M. C begged leave to add that he had some doubt whether this man had not to day committed a breach of the privilege of the House, for when the committee of claims emerged from their room, the poor fellow, as nsual, was in waiting at the door, in fear and trembling, and on being told the committee had decided to recom mend to the House to pass his bill, and that every effort would be made to get it through, his salfv face turned pale as death, and the fountains of his eyes over Rowed, and the members of the commit tee, without exception, though not greally given to the "melting mood," joined in tbe poor fellow's undignified expression of feeling. The unfortunate nian, again saw in prospect his suffering wife and lit tle ones assembled around him, and him self freed from the danger of a return to his prison-it depended upon the House whether it should be so or not. [Tle good feeling of the House was manifested by a general cry of "leave. leave-" The bill was afterwards special ly taken up in committee, reported to the House, and passed pftei 4 o'clock in the mornina.]- Nat. Intelligencer. Communications. MAN-A PROGRESSIVE BEING. Mr. Editor : Man, we believe to be, a progressive being. Desires to ameliorate his condi tion-aspirations after something higher and better, than at any one period he may enjoy, are congenial to the mind of every one, who has passed beyond even the threshold of thought and intelligence. We delight to review the past, and from the retrospect to derive the assurances, that we have advanced-to look forward to the future, and indulge in the anticipations Af still further progress. In these, his on ward and upward tendencies-man ac eords with the system of things around him. Progression is written in charac ters of living light, on every thing about us. We see it in the seminal germe, which, having been deposited within the soil, and having passed through the minor tradations-becomes, at length, the pride of the forest, unfoldtng towards heaven its leafv honors, and fixing its foundat ions beneath, in the depths of the earth. .We see it in the tiny rivulet-which, gushing from the unnoted hill-side, and receiving the influx of tributary streams-becomes, finally, the highway of comtnerce-the constituent of an ocean. .We believe it not difficult to prove that the present age is far in advatnce of any that has preceded it-and still further, that there are causes now in operation which, in the ordinary course of events, will result in the still further advance rnent of the succeeding age. The first which we would mention is the existence af the idea, of universal education. Not anly is this believed. to be f,enerally prac ticable, but a systematic effort is now in progress~ throughout this country and Europe-which renders it not chim erical to believe, that the time will come, when the blessings of at least an elemen tary education, will be as common as the enjoyment of air and light. Again-a spirit of free discussion-a reafless-piercing inquiry into every thing; :ibil-religious-political-however hal owed by antiquity and sanctioned by au thbtrity,. may be said to characterize our age. This inquiring- tendency is guided bay a more philosophic spirit than former y. Alchymy has become Chemistry Astrology has become Astronomy-Di plomacy is no longer regarded as a sys em ofcraft and dissimulation-but in Pol tics as well as in morals, "to do unto oth ~rs, as we would that others should do ato us." is found to be the beut, as well. is the right rule. Thbe -lowerselasses are evidently rising in importance. Through. tnt Europe generally, the middling class begins to be regarded as the main body af the itation. A French mninister in the soursne of a late debate, used this expres nion-"the middling classes of society" who are they?" '-asked .one of the oppo sition"-"I was wrong," was the reply, ':we now know nothing but the people." All these facts speak in a voice which tarmonizes with some of the noblest aspi -ations, and purest feelings of our nature I'bey tell us in a language that cannot be nistaken, that the race of man is treading apidly along that glorious pathway, on which is inscribed at every step, in bril iant characters "Sic itur ad astra." INQUISITOR, FLRIA Sroc.-Letters at New-York.from [.ondon, by the Siddonsa, say thatCol. Gamble, P'resident ofthe Union Bank of Florida, had ut completed the negociation for which he veat out, ofa million and ahalfof F'lorida Stock. *Charktona Courier. Civility is a kind of ebarm that attracts hn love of all men,. "Thle intelligence has 6ea by tis time pretty g%-nerally dissedildaitl that the Branch df the Darien Bank at Savannah, has suspended specie payments. Such communications it might be supposed would ordinarily be attreded with serious consequences-producing either an actual loss to that portion of the community who may happen to be bill holders of that par ticular Bank, or creating with the public at large a distrust of the credit and solven cy of all other Banke. "Neither of these results will, or rather should, follow this calamity, (for so we esteem it.) The circulation of the Branch of the Darien Bank in Savannah was very limited, and the few who were so unfortu nate as to be bill holders cannot eventually be losers-for the assets of the Bank are amply sufficient to indemnify them against loss, to say nothing of the responsibility of the stockholders, who are liable in propor - tion to the stock they own. And when it is taken into consideration, that the State owns over two thirds of the stock, there is nothing to be appprehended by bill hol ders,-Macon Messenger. The Brookville (Ind.) American states, that the Hon. John Henderson, who has just been elected a Senator of the United States, by the Whig Legisiature of Mis sissippi, was formerly a resident of Brook ville, and there followed the trade of Shoemaking. Having no little ambition, he removed to Cincinnati, went to school for some time, and then engaged in the study of the law in theollice of Mr. Storer. Front here he removed to Mississippi, where he became a prominent lawyer, matried a wealthy heiress, and is now elected to oneof the most dignified and important offices in the Government. Mr. Henderson is a man of fine talents, and a firm whig. His career is in a high degree honorable to hini,and admirably illustrates the true republican character of our insti tutions. . It shows what perseverance, and a laudable ambition, can accomplish in this country. From Freedon's Senlind. "EVERY ONE TO HIS owN TRADF." What shall a man do who has no trade? Learn one. Every man need not be a mechanic; but let every body have. some honest employment, understand their busi ness, "stick to their trade," and let other people's affairs alone. This is the way to grow rich, and, and live happy. When Igo into a barber-s shop, and hear Mr. Tonson, whose information ex tends but little beyond the end or his sig~n pole, prate politics, puff the French Direc tory. and legislate for the American Con gress, I say to myself, "Every one to his trade." When I see those whose profession is the law' set themselves up as editors, and who make but a poor out at that, I say to myself if they dont know enough to get their living by pettifogging, they had bet shoulher the grubbing-hoe. or follow some business better suitted to the intellect of U1ockheads. A wig, and a constitution, are very dif ferent things; a man may be a connoisseur in one, and very ignorant in the other, Tonson's tongue proves ibis as fully as a 'strong argument chain." The iudustrious farmer or mechanic who i not content with small and s.re gain, should remember "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." Alier they have tried their experiments in merchan dise, horse-jockeying, or land specuilation. they will have reason to lament their not attending to my text. Any trade is good if well followed. A man may make more at journey work in a poor trade, that he is aster of, than by an apprenticeship in hetler business, that he is unacquainted with.\ The Lawyer harangues fotr his clients reads authorities. quotes precedent, rrfines, defines, and splits hairs: says much that you do not understand, much that you are unable to contradict, and more that you do believe; you hear him through from "May ieplease you honors," to "I submit it to you, gentlemen of the jury;" you-ap prove of part-of the rest you onily say, "He is a lawyer-every one to his tgle.'' But, sP~y ignorance, prejudic'e, -and rogues, "This is ain unneccessary trade, a hishonest trade." Hold, friends; "All trades must live." While there are ro gues, ignorance, and prejudice there must be laws, and while there are laws there must be lawyers, or every body must leave their trades to study law. When two persons are at variatnce, they think very different of the merits of their cause; they tell different stories to their lawyers, both sides are sure of their cause. A law yer is not a conjurer, he cannot tell whall the witness will say when they come he fore court. Out comes the truth against the tunfortunate client, lie loses the case; & makes a noise by cursing the profession. Deal fairly with your neighbors, tell the plain truth to your attorney, and you will have but little occasion to speak ill of the lawyer's trade.
