Does not the banking system re quire a salutary reformation?-WIfarren ton Reporter. The tray it IWorks.-Soon after the Iit dependent Treasury Bill went info opera tion, all the Banks of Charlestou resumed specie payments. A great meeting has since been held in Baltimore urging the Banks there to resume. The New-York and Eastern Banks all pay specie. The following is the opinion of the leading Whig commercial paper in the United States, the Journal of Commerce:- ' "It must he confessed, that since the Suh-Treasury Bill was passed, there has been quite a revival of business in mer chandize, and an advance in prices; but a very retrogade movement in stocks." Exactly the effect that the democracy of the country contended that the measure would produce-cherish and protect tlie btb)incss and the business men of the coun try, and prevent or check the operations olstock gamblers and speculators." Who can now say that this Bill is inju rius to Banks and trade! The system works well-is beantiful in theory and beneficial in practice!

In relation to this declaration of Gen. Har ricoa, thte Balhitnore Republican remarks "This is but trne federal doctrine."

Herald of Tuesday, we find the following statement in reference to a singular and extraordidary case of formation of a new eye ball: A Great Phenomenon.-Our readers will remember, that during this summer, the the strange renewal of the eye, of our fel low citizens. Captain George Davey, has been a subject of discussion in the newspa pers. The statements which have been made, are not in all particulars true. He has been appealed to, and gives the follow ing statement, to be found in the letter of Mr. Hardy. Capt. Davey is one of our most respectable citizens, and the state ment he has furnished, of this extraordina ry phenomenon, may be implicitly relied 00. Dear Sir-You may have noticed In va rious papers, statements in relatic i to the new eye (as he calls ii) of our worthy citi zen, Capt. George Davey. Capt. Davey has seen some of the statements and pro nounces them to be inaccurate. He has given me the state of the case which I send you, this day, and express a wish to have it published that any errors in fact. may be corrected; aid that the exceedintt singularty of the case may be made known. The case may give rise to val nable investigations of this delicate organ of fhe human system. D inhiless many will be the speculations pertaining to) it. It is necessary to say here that Capt. Da vey is a highly respectable. worthy and in telligent man. Stalement.-,In the year of 1779 about the last of March, when I was about ten years and nine moinths old-an infla mation fell upon the eye ball of my right eye and continued in high degree for about six weeks, giving exceeding great pain during the whole time. At ihe expiration of six weeks, supperation took place, and a discharge of corrupt puss. About the end of'another six weeks, when the eye ball was completely gone, and the socket sunken. my father discovered a new eye -resemiling a bead or bird's eye. StranR'a n ----., e..1.1ca, me discovery was real: and the miniatlre eye grew un iii about the middle of Jily when it at. itained irs perfect size and the vision was as clear and disticit an ever it hal been .Inl so continued for eiahteen months. AL this time however I was taken with se cond inflamation in both eyes. occasioned by haihing tefore I had entirely recovered froi the small pox. This produced a thick strong film over the new eye ob sitrucing my vision in for about 58 years. For the lait seven or eight years the film spoken of has appeared to decrease until I can now distinguish different shades im perfectly. [ can even now see tolerably well through a Telescope or Microscrope; hitt it is remarkable that no spectacles out of the great numbers I have' tried, have ever alorded me any asuistance. I use occasionally a thick cotnvex glass, but with little aid. I am now about seventy two years of age." This is, alhost verbatim, the very lan guage of Capt. Davey, and is sent to you for publication for the reasons assigned above. Capt. Davey informs me that many medical Gentlemen have seen his eye, amongst others Professor Granville S. Paitison. Respectfully yours, August 5, 1840. LEVIN HARDY. The Boston Atlas cautions the public against a travelling rascal named f lowvardl, who is descriped as five feet cight inches high, wearing mustachios anud soaplocks, and pretending to be from Charleston. The being alluded to above, was for somec time employed in this alike, as an apology for a journeyman compositor. Subsequently, we have heard, he preamu bulated the uipper part of this State, deliv ering Lectumres on Palistine, and professing to be an Egyptain by birth [his success in gulhing the people enmboldetned him to follow up the business, as we have seen advertisements in the Norfolk and Rich mnond papers, annotuncing the delivery of Lectures, a la .Baclainghwnm in those cities. He visited Charleston a few months since, and in his e',nversation with his comnpan ions, stated that his mode of getting a liv ing was much easier and more profitable than to labor for it; and if reports can be relied on, some of his fallow boarders found that what cost them somec labor to obtain, he relieved them of the trouble of retain iug.-Charleston Courier, A certain Dr. Eli S. Davis, formerly of Abbeville, S. Carolina, but nowv of Ten nesse, has changed from a democrat to a whig, and also becotme a candidate for Congress, andl some of our whig papers are niaking a great jolification over the Dr's conversion. A gentleman wvho knows [im well informs us that the Doctor is "no great shakes." -no how,"-that as a poli tician. he is as marketable as a fish; as a man, frothy as a beer biottle, and remark ;bh only for having once travelled over the whole western part of the U. States, with one dollar; iln which trip lhe visited the hermitage and received as a present fromt Gen. Jackson, otno of Col. Earle's portraits of Gen. J.. which he carried home andi sol to the lion. Waddy Thllompso~n, and which portrait, by the way, the said lIon. Waddy Thompson nowv keeps in his garrct facing the wall. This same great accession to the whig ranks did, (we hal almost forgotten it and beg the Doctor's pardon for having done so,) one other re markable feat in his eventful life,-he got a bundle of hickory sticks, whilst General Jackson was President, in the woods near Washington and presented them to the old chief with a set speech, telling the General that he had cut them in the Waxhaw set tlement, South Carnlina, near the place of his birth.-Marion Al. Herald. Relation of Husband and Wife.-A writer in a New England Review, who expounds the legal Rights of Woman, showing that he can look at the relatiot subsisting between the husband and wile with a true eye, thus beautifully vindicates the common law, in particular: "Should either, forgetting the obliga tions of good faith and all the proprieties of tl'at relation he willing to bear witness against the other, the law sternly forbids it. It will not allow the rule to be viold led, even by agreement. It has to hand to raise the evil of that sancity, no ear to listen to the breathings ofits hollow com. munion; it lays the hermetic seal of its finger on the lip that would reveal thoso secrets. Nay, if the parties themselves have drained the bitter cup of domestic dissention, and been finally divorced by a judicial decree, still neither are permitted to testify, against the other, to any matter ofconfidential conmunlication, made while the marriage tie existed. lroman.-When we see a neat, pretty girl, with a free but innocent air-dressed tastily yet simply-with cheeks which we can hardly help kissing, and with a pair of heavenly blue eyes, which seem ro reposo in perfect security beneath their silketn lashes, how can we help loving lher. But when we see a woman whose looks seem& to say that she is sojouring somewhere a bout the region of thirty-nine, dressed ofl'in pink ribbons, mock gold chains, and pinel back breast pins, and tmincing her steps, as if treading on eggs, she reminds us of an old piece of furniture scoured up to sell.

Caluany and Forgery.-Tho Whigs have forged expressions and placed thent in the speech delivered by Van Buren, iti 1827, on the Woollen Bill. They havo printedi thospeech, called the sheep speech. so as to read :hat ie had $20,000 invested in sheep, and that it was his interest to vote, therefore, for the tariff! The trun version, aq taken from a copy of that speech, printed at the time, is, "that ho (Van Buren) had invested $20,000 in sheep and sheep fartts, and that it would he per fectly propet, that he should putrsue his own interest, achenever he could do so con sistently with his obligations to his country -yet hc wCould despise himself if he could be base enough to fiwor an unsound poliry, whaterer might be'his own advantage in do ing so ; and therefore he opposed the policy so uinjustly called for by the frihtds of thc Wollen Bill." This is the trtue extratct, and this well accoutnts foar the eagerness of the 'friends of the Wollen Bill" to itn struct him to vote for it ; as they did do. Truth is indeed mighty, and will prevail. The Crops.-Thronghbout this country the crops are better this year than they have been for many years before. T1he wheat crop is considerably above the av erage, in both quantity sand quality. Other grain, and grass is untsally good. and the present prospect for corn is that it will be a greater yield than has been in thtis country for ten yeats, and wve should thitnk it would ho ripe fully two weeks earlier than ttsual. Our farmers will havo immense surplus to spear, which wve hope they will be able to fintd a market for. W~e understand William Buckley of this place is tnow offering six shillings per bushel for whieat.-Sackell's Harbor Jour. The C'ontrat.-The farmers? mechan ics, and laborers are now busily engaged enriching the country, whlile those who raise the cry of "hard times" are idling away their time, with the expectation of reapitnga harv st from the industry of their betters. Old Fort Pickering, on the Mississippi. itnmedliately below Memnphis, has been pttrchascd lately by the La Grange and Memphis Railroad Company, with a view ofestablishitng a commercial city.
