The [ organization of the bank under the charter, is its only franchise ; and all the functions, which it may lawfully perforin afterwards, ( it possesses in common with natural per. j sons. This remark is made with this j qualification, that I do not deny that the j franchise may be lost by a wilful abuse of these functions. A hank might he- j come a swindling establishment, in the | manner of using its conceded powers. I am satisfied that this bank has committed 1 micHAinMinnr " 1IW ?UW1 ,I.|V7V4V-...V?..V1. There is no substantial provision in the charter, requiring the bank to issue its i notes as currency, i'y its organization, it had the right to perform the functions of a bank, namely, to receive money on j' cicposite ; " to discount mercantile paper ; to lend monev : and to issue its own or other paper, in lieu ?>f notes discounted.; In what way it should perform these different functions could not he prescribed : or indicated, hut must of necessity he left 1 to the discretion and judgment of the , Directors. I undertake to say, however, 1 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- j rcsentaiives of gold and silver. Both may ! circulate, and serve the purpose of money, i upon the assurance that they can bo con- : \erted into gold and silver, at the plea- j sure of the holders. In strictness there . is no other kind of e oney?that which a debtor may compel his creditor to accept, ' and which a creditor can exact under a ) judgment of the Court?besides gold and i silver. Paper will he estimated as up- j preaching the value of money, more or Jp less, according to the credit of the source j \yhence it emanates. This in general i will l?e settled by mcrcanntile sagacity, public security, and the competition of tree^trade." " Besides these general views, arising out of the legal character of hank paper, other express provisions of the charter may he resorted to, for the purpose of shewing, that mere suspension cannot be regarded as a cause of forfeiture. Indeed it seems to ine such a conclusion is absolutely negatived by the clauses to which I allude. "Take for instance the ftne already no.! ticed, which restricts the bank from contracting debts to a larger sum than three : c* o J times the amount of its capital. Tnis does not confer in positive terms the right to issue hills to three times the amount ofits capital, hat if pre-supposes that the j bank may do so without violating the le- i gitimate principles upon which hanking . institutions should he conducted ; and of | course that it might be in a condition in which it could not pay on demand all its notes. jVow, is the offence producing 1 forfeiture to depend on the contingency of a demand? A demand might not he r i made when the Bank had the largest al * | mount of debt outstanding and when in fact the bank was most in default, but it might be made when the bank had con- ' tracted its issues, and had fewest notes in circulation. The fact of issuing, or c:wing more than it could pay in coin, was the cause of difficulty and default; and 1 yet this is allowed !?v the charter. And can it he contend* d that the bank should ^ be punished for the consequence of an authorized act ? This would be to give a jrriviiege and jrunih its exercise. 1 ? By the charter, faduro of the bank to pay in specie, and even insolvency are j contemplated, and spoken of without the most.distant implication that such acts would induce forfeit ire. The truth is that a suspension of specie payments hy * banks was no novel tiling when this char- 1 ter was granted ; and it was granted, cvi- I dently on the supposition that the bank j miffht susoend. and still retain its legal ex- , . I . istence. * A redundancy of depreciated paper has been the great cause of suspension. The legislation of the country, not of the State alonf, but ol all the States, should 1 hear a share of the blame in producing the disastrous state of affairs, which gave i 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." ; i From the N. Y. Jour. Another Si.ave Case in Boston.?We learn from the Boston Courier that on Saturday a colored girl was carried by habeas corpus be ft *e the Massachusetts Supreme Jucial Cr Eiiis Gray Loring and S. E. Sewall, Inquiries, represented to the court that Rose came on from Mobile as the third servant or Mrs. Eliza M.

It was not a question of time, so much as of capacity. And the girl appearing capable o? a sound choice, and having exercised it, thp Court saw no reason tor interfering with her decision. She was therefore ordered to be discharged, and went her ways with Mrs. Ticknor, much to the disappointment of those who thought themselves better friends to her than she was to herself, and pr-'senting a spectacle of the triumph or of natural-affection over the deep, insmctive immiiane i\f fr-vnitum CHSiiW GAZETTE. WEDNESDAY, August 111841. Large Beet.?We received last iveek from Society Hill a blood beet of the tur. nip rooted variety which when pulled, weighed with ti?-? top, nine pounds and four ounces. After being exposed 7 days to the air, with the top and tap root trimmed off, it weighed seven pounds and one ounce, and measured 2*2 inches in circumference. It was raised by Mr. Abel Gaudy, on the isinglas land of the Pee Dec, on the plantation of Col. Williams. Could a feiv acres of such land, above the reach of freshets, be cultivated so profitably bv Pee Dec planters in any other crop as in beets, for feeding cattle and hogs ?

Now that some enquire begins to be made in this State as to the value of lime as a fertilizer, we very confidently say to those who take an interest in the subject, that they will not find so much valuable information any where else as in the Farmers' Register, and in the Essay on Calcareous Manures by the editor of that work. Every permn vho owns land in or near the lime region ought to procure both. The Yellow Fever prevails to an alarming extent in St. Joseph's, Florida.

In the House the hank bill was daily discussed, and Friday last | had been fixed upon as the day for taking | it out of Committee. The question was j probably taken tha.. day on its second reading; the.result would have come to hand yesterday had our papers arrived. The President had communicated to Congress, by message, a letter from the 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 bead that Mr. Calhoun has arranged him self under the Repeal Flog. This we did not expect. So outrageous a movement! by men so respectable as Messrs. C'alhoun 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. The advocates of re. peal must be satisfied that the constitutional tribunal for passing upon the validity of laws would again, as it has hitherto done, decide a bank to be uu horized by the constitution ; otherwise they could not think of putting it down by other moans thanarcsort to this tribunal. The Judiciary is*the balance wheel of our system. It lias hitherto been found abundantly competent to regulate the action of the system. Those who are of a different opinion ought to move rather to amend or abolish it, than by usurpation, to transfer its powers to another department of the Government.

In addition to the many depredations committed by the Catterpillar during the last three or four years, there is now a more formidable bug commencing his ravages upon the gum trees for the last week.

The editor ofthe Buffalo Commercial Ad- j vertiser has come to the conclusion, from an examination and comparison of the j statements he has received relative to the wheat harvest, which h now ended in the j greater part of the country that there ca n j be no doubt that assuming the product of 1839 as the standard, the crop this year w ill he found loss than an average one. In this state it will fall olF at least one third. In Ohio also there will he a deficiency as compared with '39, though not so great as in this state. Michigan and! northern Indiana will probably show an j excess. The middle and Southern States j will about hold their own. Take the i whole country and we doubt whether i theie is now on hand any great surplus of j bread stuffs. An immense quantity of! wheat and flour has been brought |j into j Buffalo this season, hut comparatively a very small amount has reached New York city. It has been stopped in transitu and consumed. The corn crop?one of great value and J importance, controlling in no inconsidcr-1 able degree the market prices of other j1 products?promises exceedingly well. 1 On this point all parties agree. Potatoes, there is no end of them. Late oats have ' done well, and of all other crops, except- 1 ing grass, which is decidedly short, it may be said they are fair. The wheat crop shows a slight falling off. as compared 1 with'39 and '40, and the stock of bread t stuffs on hand is not large. Of corn and i potatoes there now promises to be an excess.?

The last accounts from Tallahassee represent the Congestive Fever raging in that place and its vicinity unabated. It is said to defy nil remedies, and (here is scarcely a family unattacked.

As these experiments have been directed with the view of introducing a better and more economical light for the light-houses on our coast, the subject nuy, perhaps, he regarded as of high national importance, and will doubtless he so considered by the intellgence and liberal-minded Secretary. The method of manufacturing this gas s, we understand an invention, of Mr. Uopert Grant, of Maine. The birch tree, from which the hark used in these experiments is obtained, is found in abundance in the Northern States, and upon all.the mountaneous ridges throughout the continent of North America. It throws off a large quantity of fine carhuretted hydrogen gas, upon the application if a very low heat which gas requires to be oassed through a few gallons of water ono # ? ly, to cleanse it from impurities. We presume the attention of Congress will he invited to this subject; and should the gas je found to possess the qualities ascribed to it by the inventor, wc hope to see the House of Representatives illuininatedwith this bri/liant and convenient light, in place of the cumbrous chandelier for oil, 1,'V.ir.Ii tuod KrnL'nn In IllefOfi SCn<5f?n. ??
