Great things have also transpired in foreign lands. STlie effete dynasty of the Bourbons has been drivco from the Spanish throne by a popular uprising. The public joy having subsided, the people threaten to come iuto collision among themselves with the hostile battle xries of a "Republic" aud a "Monarchy." The Italian government, after losing the patriotism and sagacity of Cavour, has gradually declined in strength and pop. ularity,until jmw it tbieatcos to mumble into ruins.

To The Public.?The rccommeo1 datioo of the Governor in hid late message, that steps be taken "to prevent ' the courts aud officers of the Bunk of the " Statg from wasting and misapplying its ! assets," and the belief expressed, that i not less than SGC>,000 in gold has been squandered and made way wiih for sularies of officers and agents, fees of attorneys employee! to bring lire credit of ' the State ihto disrepute, and other obi jeets of equally questionable propriety, ] falls for some notice ou the part oi the. . bank, and in the absccnce of the President, I deem it my duty to lay tl^ facta 0 before the public. The contingent expense account of r the bank has been regularly furnished e to the .Legislature since 18(35, the pres, ent session included, and convenient as s ' , the statements were for reference on the records at Columbia, it was rcasx onable to supp<s^ that the Governor 3 would have referred to them for his facts and figures. These statements show that from ISO.) to the el >so of the I last fiscal year, 31st October, u period ' covering over three years, the total 3 amount expended was ?3-1,31)8, and this II in currency The accounts itemized, g | and showing what amount fur salaries. what fur incidental expenses, &c., ineluding the agency at Columbia, estabs lUlied under the Act of 13(J5 charged s with the aud disbursement of the pub j lie funds, at an x; ensc properly chargei able upon the Treasury, j To this add"Sd,350, advanced fees, I in the defence thrown upon the b?nk 1 j by the suit of Pabney Morgan & Co , 2 (approved by the proper offic >r of the j | Court,) aud expenses incurred in otln r minor cases, a f 11 statcmcn: of whieli ; I has heeu furnished at an examina'i <n j of the bank by a committee of tire Leg 5 j islatnrc, appointed in September, a: d ?! we have a sum total of less than ?3U,, j 0C0 in currency, instead of?3d".000 in gold, as sta ed in the Governor's in :i i ? ' sa-c. 'J'he suit brought Viy Dabney. M..r- ' , gan & Co., note-holders, made the hm'* t ( with the I'irc Loan creditors, defend: cuts, aud upon reference to the master, " j the bank felt authorized [with liisap- ' i proval] in making the advance forcnuu- ' sel fees; and the iurthcr sum of $1,100, ! [including in the statement referred to . above.] fot* expenses incurred for com- ' plainant note holers. It is to be observed that the bank ( ' has in do case instituted legal proceed ings, but has been drawn into a legal process upon >uit instituted by others. ( So far from desiring to protract liti. gation, wc have on [the contrary dc- J sired.an early and equitable disposition ' of the funds enjoined in our hands. " " Until very lately there has been no j action on the p >rt of the Legislature ? to close the operations of the bank. Our 1 { officers were held under sanction of each successive Legislature, including the ' present, up to the passage of the Act of 5 fcfeptembtr, 18(38. The number of ofi fleers reduced to but two, other than ! , the President, and all with greatly rc. duccd solaries, and the expenditures otherwise have beo r ou the ccouo uij&l basis. 1 1 This expjanation is duo to the Fire ' Loan creditors, chaiged with unwarran- j table litigutiouj'to the court under which ^ we act, and to the officers of the hank. THUS. II. WARING, Cashier. [ Colombia, Dec. 14. ' A fire was discovered in Gregg's Hall, j at the corner of Richardson and Taylor streets, at two o'clock this morning, ' which, despite the efforts of the hire j Department, entirely consumed the ''building. The house was three stor es high, has been built only since the tcr, ruination of the war, and was occupied by the following persons : First floor, , 1 Gregg & Co., as a Crockery Establish' meut, and Gregg & Pal a er, Proi kers.

The 1 third story was knowu as Gregg's Hall, and was used as a Theatre uud Concert ? Room. ] Gregg & Co., saved their books and ^ r papers, and a small purtiou of their stock. The insurance was as follows : Gregg ' & Co., SI2,0(J0 in the Queen City of" .

Sevcra others were slightly wounded. Charleston Courier. Eloquent Extkact.?The follow ing eloquent extract is taken from ai editorial in Father Ryan's Banner o the S/Uth: "There are men who desert the altar of a lost cause, round which they one stood with the blood in their heart panting for liberation, and who knee to offer homage at the altar of success iul wrong. There are men who trampl under foot the very standards that one floated proudly over them. There ar men base enough to lift their hand against the very rights for which the; once uplifted Bwords. Wo ate no such. For us priuciple is priuciplt right is right?yesterday?to day?tr morrow?forever. Submission to niigh is not surrender of right. We wil yield to the one, but shall never yieh to the other." The authorities in South Carolin seem to have singular nations as to hot tn cfrntiffl liotl tllfi credit of tllClT StatC if we may judire by the following pas scg* of the Governor's Message: "I recommend to the Legislature tha some early action be taken to Dreven the Courts and officers of the Bank o the State from wasting and misapplying its assets to the payment of costs o Courts, Attorneys' Iocs, and the salaric of officers and agents. If the holder of the Fire Loan Bonds arc dctcrminct to pursue the policy of disparaging tlx credit and resources of the State, wher it must be apparent to them that n< S i,.f the liuiou is more solvent, 01 has u fairer prospect of promptly meet mg all her liabilities, they should bi cortip-lled to carry on this litigation a their own expense. I have reason t< believe that not loss than sixty tliou?anc doll irs in g ild has been squandered anc made away with fur salaries of officer and agents who a:e performing nt necessary duties, fees of atffrncys wht are .employed for the purpose of bring ing the credit of the State into disrepute and for other o'jects of equally question able propriety. The holders of tin Kite Loan Bonds should be placed 01 the same footing as other creditors o the Slate, anT they sh-.uld be hcli accountable for all damages the Stati b#s sustained, or may sustain, by theii unwarrantable litigation." One 's surj.f!.-?'4, nfler reading fhi. fulmination, to learn L"uiu the state incut of Mr. fljync, the eouti.-c! cf tli< party attacked, tliat the Stale is i debtor in default with its debt past due that the I'ire Loan Bondholders arr er ditors entitled to certain collateral: pb-dgi-d by the S' itu when the cnntrac wis made iu 1SL:; tli.it in lh(Jo tin Legislature?the Bank being iasolvcm ,1 r.1.u1irAd /if 1 S;{S. II lit ? 'until nit <i utu ... , impropriated the ass :ts of the Lank o the State of South Carolina to tin holders of the bonds, and, finally, thai ill the litigation that has ensued grew jut of a suit instituted by the billholdcn jf the H ink, brought in 1807, seeking to set aside the Act of the Legislature in favor of the bondholders, and claim ing for themselves these assets wliicb the bondholders of the Lank simplj defend, and that it has cost little ovei 530,000, instead of 800,000. In 180!; the Legislature passed an Act disre larding the Act of lbvdS, at^l repealing that of 1SG5, and requiring the Cuvurtior to seize tlie whole assets of tin Lank, then a deposit in equity, and ti place the funds in the State Treasury, In the same Act, satisfactory provitiot was made for the billholders who begat the litigation, and nouc for the bond holders. It does seem, rather hard, on these facts, that people who advanced thcii uoney thirty years ago to help rebuild the city of Charleston should be threat;ncd with being made accountable foi 'all damages the State has sustuinec Dy their unwarrantable litigation." W< Jo not pretend to go iuto the merits o; die case, but suggest that these merit? 3e left to the courts, and that coinmor jrudonce would suggest distant bond I udders, waiting for tlicir money, ions, past due, at a time too wlieo the Governor tells thein that "no State in tlu Union is more solvent," should be niadt to feel that every facility is aflbrdci thorn by the State to defend right! which they at least believe to bi Joubtcd. South Carolina cannot af Purd either as a matter of money oi character, to damage itsopcningcarcero prosperity by any other course. The fae; s, too, that the holders of the bank-bills for whose benefit this extraordinary inter fercnco with tl* action of the courts i.( talked of, have bought them up forabon jight cents on the dollar, and wo fcai ire adding another to the number o "rings" by which the country js now in fested.?Xution.
