notes, or lend money, as given to the hank the art of incorporation in the nature of distinct and separate franchise. The organization of the bank under the. charter, is itsonly franchise ; and all the function*, which it may lavf ully perforin afterwards, it possesses in common with natural persons. This remark is made with this qualification, that I Jo not deny that the franchise may be lost hy a wilful abuse of these functions. A bank might become a swindling establishment, in the manner of using its conceded powers. I am satisfied that this bank has committed no such misdemeanor." There is no substantial provision in the charter, requiring the bank to issue its notes as currency. i>v its organization, it had the right to perform the functions of a bank, namely, to receive money on depoftite ; "to discount mercantile paper : to lend money ; and to issue its own or - ??? /T !C'OAlirtf outer puper, in no* m n la what way it should perform these different functions could not he prescribed or indicated, but must of necessity be left to the discretion and judgment of tlie Directors. I undertake to say, however, that the notes of the bank are no more to be regarded as money than the notes of private Individuals, put into circulation as the rep. resentatives of gold and silver. Both may circulate, and serve the purpose of money, upon the assurance that they can be con\erted into gold and silver, at the pleasure of the holders. In strictness there is no other kind of r? oney?that which a <iebtor may compel his creditor to accept, and which a creditor can exact under a judgment of the Court?besides gold and stiver. Paper will he estimated as approaching the value of money, more or Jp less, according to the credit of the source whence it emanates. This in general will lie settled by rocrcanntile sagacity, public security, and the competition of free* trade." 44 Besides these general views, arising r*? ' o out of the legal character of hank pape:, other express provisions of the charter may be resorted to, for the purpose of shewing, that mere suspension cannot he regarded as a cause of forfeiture. Indeed it seems to ine such a conclusion is absolutely negatived by the clauses to which I allude. 44 Take for instance the ftne already noticed, which restricts the bank from contracting debts to a larger sum than three times the amount of its capital. Tnis does not confer in positive terms the right \ to issue hills to three times the amount of its capital, hit it pre supposes that the bank may <!o so without violating the legitimate principles upon which hanking institutions should I o conducted ; and of course that it might be in a condition in which it could not pay on demand all its notes. iVow, is the offence producing forfeiture to depend on the contingency of a demand? A demand might not he t O made when the Hank had the largest amoiint of debt outstand;ng and when in fact the hank was most in default, hut it might he made when the hank had contracted its issues, and had fewest notes in circulation. The fact of issuing, or owing more than it could pay in coin, was the cause of difficulty and default; and yet this is allowed !?v the charter. And can it be contend* tl that the bank should ^ l>e punished for the consequence of an authorized act? This would he to give a privilege and punish its exercise. ** By the charter, fadure of the bank to pay in specie, and even insolvency nre contemplated, and spoken of without the rrost.distant implication .that such nets would induce forfeit ire. The truth is that a suspension of specie payments by banks was no novel thing when this charter was granted ; and it was granted, evidently on the supposition that the bank might suspend, and still retain its legal ex. istence. 4i A redundancy of depreciated paper has been the great cause of suspension. The legislation of the country, not of the State alone, but ol all the States, should !>ear a share of the blame in producing the disastrous state of affairs, which gave rise to the late suspension of# the banks. The number oF banks created by acts of legislation, more than the excessive issues of any one bank, in this State, has inflated and deranged the currency." From the N. V. Jour. Another Slave Case in Boston.?We learn from the Boston Courier that on Saturday a colored girl was carried by habeas corpus before the Massachusetts Supreme Jucial Court. Eliis Gray Loring and S. E. Sewall, Esquiries, represented to the court that Rose came on from Mobile as the third servant or Mrs. Eliza M. Ticknor?that at Mo. bile she was a slave?that being under 14 she was not adequate to make her election between slavery and freedom?-and that therefore the court ought not to regard any choice she might make, but let her free rcilly nilly on the ground that one who preferred slavery must he incompetent to 6ettle the question for herself?The Courier gives the decisior of the court, and the decision of the girl, at W follower The Judges, however, thought fit to examine the girl as to the inclination of her mind, aur she stated it to be her desire to remain with Mrs. Ticknor, and return to Mobile, where she could see her brothers and sisters. Judge Wilde, expressing the opinion of the Court said that the girl having made her election the only question was, whether she was compelent to do so. It did not seem clear thai she was under fourteen. Her appearance indie a ted that she must be fifteen or sixteen? and her answers during the examination showed her to be sufficiently intelligent to know what she preferred. But even d she were under fourteen, there -was no analogy between the age fixed by law as that at which a minor can choose a umrdian for herst'f and the age at which sufficieni intelligence uiay be exercised upon the point . now at. issue. It was not a question of time, ' | so much as of capacity. And the girl appearing capable of a sound choice, and having i exercised it, the Court saw no reason tor in~ terfering with her decision. She was therej fore ordered to be discharged, and went her i ways with Mrs. Ticknor, much to the disappointment of those who thought themselves ! better friends to her than she was to herself, J and pr renting a spectacle of the triumph or ! of naturalbtfFec'ionover the deep, insinctive imj puises of freedom. 1 wegarii m ? mmu^wotarm *m \\ C?IflSAW GAZETTE.

Every person who owns land in or near the lime region oyght to procure both. The Yellow Fever prevails to an alarming extent in St., Joseph's, Florida.

Our latest Intelligencer is Aug. 3d., the latest Globe, Aug. 5th. In the Senate nothing important had been clone. The fortification bill was the subject under consideration. In the House the bank bill was daily discussed, and Friday last had been fixed upon as the day for taking it out of Committee. The question was probably taken thai day on its second reading; the.result would have come to hand yesterday had our papers arrived. The Fresident had communicated to r* I... _ r V^Ongiess, uy fnes>ii?u, ei iumci IIUIII uic French Minister, remonstrating against the passage of the revenue bill now before that body, so far as the bill increases the duty on the products of France. It will be seen under our Congressional head that Mr. Calhoun has arranged himself under the Repeal Flag. This we did not expect. So outrageous a movement by men so respectable as Messrs. Calhoun Woodburv, Buchanan, &c. &c. proves the importance of adding a clause to the ; Federal Constitution prohibiting Congress from passing a law violating the obligation of contracts.

Reward ofthe Husbandman.? ' The editor ofthe Buffalo Commercial Ad-1 C vertiser has come to the conclusion, from j an examination and comparison of the j * statements he has received relative to the j c wheat harvest, which h now ended in the i n greater part of the country that there can j t i be no doubt that assuming the product h ' of 1839 as the standard, the crop this year | will be found less than an average one. j (J In this state it will fall o(F at least one j third. In Ohio also there will he a de- (J ficiency as compared with '39, though not ( so great as in this state. Michigan and ! c northern Indiana will probably show an excess.

The birch tree, from which the barb used in these ex- , periments is obtained, is found in abun, i dance in the Northern States, and upon all.the mountanenus ridges throughout the continent of North America. It throws off a large quantity of tine carburetted hydrogen gas, upon the application of a very low heat which gas requires to be passed through a few gallons of water only, to cleanse it from impurities.
