It is very easy to set, that a want of time.on iite. part of the tommit tee, ould beget the habit of trusting to the statements and calculations of the Bank officers, and thus practically make the 10th Section of the Charter the exclusive rule of action in the premises ; t bich Section, the Act of 1824,'nis intended'to anetid; otherwise. i 'idle"and supererogatt'!y. Further tore it seems, that the Legislature had crme,to think that it really bad no power "',t examine minutely the affairs of the Batik." according to the Act of 1824, and consequently, during the Session of 1843, it 'enacted, " That either 'Branch 6f the Legislatnre,'shld hereafter, havefull pow er and auitioritj, to ',cll. for any informa. tidn which thjy' may deem necessary from the Bank'of jhe State of South-Carolina or the Branches thereof; and the said Bank and Branches. are hereby required to furnish any -information called for by either Branch of the Legislature." What is; more, this Act is-styled " an Act. to restore to each Branch of the Legislature, the-right or enquiring into the ,nances of the State." W hat does this ward ." re atore," heremean ? We submit that. this Act in itsparpose and-pt ltcy, is not difer= ent from the Act of 824; and that it neither enitiraea or fdiciliiates the powers and means of arriving at a Inowledge of .the 'coidition of the Batk.' Its object then, wairo bring 'baik to life, and to a vigorous ex-erdise, a 'ower. which had been virtully;lst onder the Act of 1824.

By the arrtval of the brig Columbus Captain Webster, we are placed in posdess ion of intelligence from Martinique, one of the French West India Islards, to the 2d instant. All the previous accounts relative to the horrible butchery of. the white inhabitants of the island, by the slave poplation. ate corrohorated, antd many additional parti culars furnished. On hoard the Columbus ate Messrs. J. B. Durhamlp, E. Duchamp. L. Duchamp, F. Crassous, '. Regnal, and T. Dresgrotto, formerly wealthy planters of. the island, w ho, with their families,. in ill thirty-five persons, were obliged suddently to -seek refuge on board the vessel to save their lives. They escaped from the shore in the night, leaving all their property behind. Fears were..entertained that.the blacks would attack the brig, but Captain Webs ter gallantly determined. and made every preparation. to resist any attempt of toe kind. For Captain W's efforts in their bctalf, the above unfortmate persons ex press their heartfelt gratitude, and that is all they have to uffer him. not having sav ed hardly a dolfar of their valuable pro perty. The blacks were massacreing the white inhabitants daily. Some. thirty-six pet. suns. including women, and children, were on'one occasion .driven.itnto a house, the building set'. fire, and with its unfortu. nate inmates, entirely consumed. ~ The white inhabitants were fleeing to every place that alforded the possibility of an asylum from the vindictive assaults of their Woes. A number had escaped to New. Orleatns. Some captains of vessels, had declined taken any of the refugees on hoard their vessels, fearing, au attack from the blaclcs. Business of all kinds was at a stand, se veral 'vessels were in port, unable to dis posed of their cargoes. Capt. Webster is of opinion that if as sistance were not speedily received, the place wonld be entirely destroyed. The ue' governor, appointed by the French republic, had aot arrivea, but- was daily expected. The decree of the French government, abolishing slavery in the colony, took, ef f.ct on the 23d of May.

It is merely necessary to state, that Dr, Williams,-when in posses sion of tre Electrical action of a subject ,body, can make him perform feats of ac tivity far more astonishing than Dr. Wil liams could with his own body, or the subject with his, independent of this ac quired power on the part of the elect riser.
