2d. The States shou'd likewise solemnly
abjure the power of incorporating a Bank
beyond the amount of Capital fixed as the ratio,
and confer upon Congress the power of
determining the denomination of the Bills to
be issued, in order that in this essential particular
the currency might be uniform throughout
the United States.
The object of this last provision will be obvious.
Congress might through the instrumentality
of this power, gradually increase
the metallic circulation, by enacting for example,
that no State should after the year
forty issue a Note of a less denomination than
Five Dollars, in forty-five, of Ten, and in fif.v,
of a less denomination than Twenty Dollars,
a scheme which Mr. Calhoun disclosed in his
able Speech on the Currency. In this mode
I conceive that the Banking Capital of the
country might be brought down, the paper
currency diminished, and the metallic circuia
tion gradually augmented without any dangerous
disturbance of the standard of value.
It is a most fortunate circumstance that as
Congress will meet on the 1st of September,
' " o .
the amendment might be passed by that body,
proposed to the Legislatures of all the States
which will be in session in course in the
winter, and if ratified by three fourths, become
a part of the Constitution by the 1st of March
next.
*****
E" I think a preference should bo given to the
re-charter of the present Bank of the United
States, for several reasons which appear to me
satisfactory. In the first place, by taking
your Bank, the banking capital of the United
States is not increased. A new institution
would augment this capital probably some
forty or fifty millions, and revive that licentious
spirit of speculation, which it is the interest
of the country to have allayed. Your
institution is, moreover, in the exercise of its
full functibus with its capital paid in, and in
possession of all the capacities for immediately
acting beneficially upon the currency of
the country. I do not think the Government
ought to incorporate your Bank, without your
stockholders should consent to surrender one
half of your capital; on receiving either the
par value of the stock so surrendered, or its
actual value as estimated pro rata, by adding
vour surplus, so that the stock of the present
stockholders of the Bank of the U. S. might
be brought down to about fifteen milliions,
that the other twenty millions be divided between
the Government and other Banks.
That a Bank in 'he city of New York should
be selected as your Branch, whose capital
your Bank should take as your stock, letting
the stockholders in at par for the amount of
their slock, a Bank be likewise selected in
Boston. Providence, Baltimore, Norfolk,
Charleston, Savannah, Mobile and New Orleans,
and the rest of your capital of thirtyfive
millions to be divided between the Government
and other commercial points where
it would be expedient to establish branches.
t Tint if i had the Dower, frive vou a
m. nwuiu i?vv? * r _
renewal of your charter on any other terms,
because this scheme involves no dangerous
augmentation of the banking capital of the
United States, which as a whole, ought not
on any account to be increased. It is true
that in several of the States this capital might
be safely augmented, and perhaps if the
amendment of the Constitution was adopted,
which I have suggested in some of them,1
it would be found that their capital had not
reached the ratio which might be fixed for
their proportion. South Carolina for example,
will judiciously bear an increase of her
banking capital, as it is not equal to the separate
value of her exports, throwing her internal
trade and exchanges out of the question.
"*''1 1?u-hnlr? interests of the
iSlUl JUUtVIlIg niv, ?.
country, it would be of vital importance that
the process rather of reduction than increase,
should be promptly commenced.
* * * * *
I believe nothing is wanting now but a
proper concert among the leading Banking
institutions of the country, with a proper understanding
with the Government, to enable
us all at an early day, to re-c eminence redeeming
our notes in coin.
The object of this communication is to bring
about this concert and this undrstanding.
I therefore suggest to you that the Presidents
of the Banks of Philadelphia have a meeting,
and address a Circular to the Banks of the
different Commercial cities of the United Scales,
requesting the Banks of each city to appoint
one of its Presidents as a deputy, to meet in
Philadelphia, on the second Monday in August
next, for the purpose of conferring as to the
means and period of resuming Sjtecie payments,
that the same may be universal ami simultaneous
on a certain day, throughout the United
States. With this view I would suggest,
that at this meeting a deputation should be appointed
to attend the Session of Congress,
that by a proper understanding, the Banks
may promptly co-operate with the measures
of Government in bringing about the greatly
to be desired resumption.
New York, June, JU>.
Among the new and strange things about
going into operation in this city of things
strange and new, is a bank, which is to be
known by the name of the Joint Stock Exchange
company. The object of the Company,
as set forth in its articles of association, is
declared to be the raising of money for the
purpose of buying aud selling bills of exchange.
Stocks or oorporato stmt political bodies, and
the transaction of almost any business in money
which may facilitate the stock and exchange
operations of the Company,or, in othnr
words, heb to fill the pockets of the mem
| value ; and, secondly, tiiey will not advertise
I to redeem their bills at all, except when preI
seated to the amount of live dollars, and then
safety funds will be given in exchange for the
I notes of the joint stock company. By this
I means the operation will no doubt prove profitable
to the stockholders. I send you the
account of this new bank, in order that you
and the Government paper near you may
watch the advancement of the experiment.
The new bank is not a Whig bank, and
therefore let the Globe be careful of its denunciations.
Virginia.?An extra Session of the Logisi
lature of this State commenced on the 12th
; inst. called by the Govenor to legalize the Sus1
pension of specie payments by the Bank and
j other purposes connected with the state of the
i country. We make the following extract from
the Govenors Message.
There are those who would have no banks,

an exclusive metallic circulation. This project,
in the actual condition of the country, I bei
iieve to be wholly impracticable and the agitation
of it at this period could have no other
j effect than still further to derange the busii
ness, and oppress every interest in the com!
munity. And I consider it of the highest importance
to maintain the credit of the State
Banks, as forming, under proper regulations
j "?nd reforms, the only practical substitute for a
United States Bank; and preservation affords
the only defence against the dangerous
scheme of a powerful and overshadowing national
institution."

It becomes our melancholy duty to add
another to the list of steam boat accidents
which have taken place this season. The
steamboat Crusader, Capt Hcteford, while on
her way from Pascngouia to this city, collapsed
one of her flues while stopping to take in
a passenger near the light house at Rabbit Is- 1
land. Thirteen of the unfortunate persons
on board were scalded in a most serious manner,
four of them were thrown into the water
by the explosion, and had it not been for the
timely assistance of Mr. Smith, the keeper of
the Light House, they would in all probability
have perished. lie however succeeded in
saving three out of the number, the other was
j lost before any assistance couiffbe given him.
The situation of the unfortunate individuals
! can sesreely be imagined?obliged as they
j were to remain without any means to obtain
; the necessary medicines to afford them relief.

{ excruciating agony. About half of them have
I already died, and the recovery of the remainj
der is extremely doubtful. Fortunately Dr
j Hough was on board, and all the assistance
| that a skilful physician could render, was freei
ly given them, but without medicines or the
i means of obtaining them, but little could be
; done to relieve their sufferings, except for the
i moment.
After remaining in this situation about
twelve hours, the steam boat Mobile hove in
sight, on her way to Mobile with the United
States Mail, and all eyes were to her for assistance.
Captain Sheldon on being informed
of the situation of the sufferers, immediately
, ordered his boat alongside, and returned back
j with them to the city.
For this noble and generous conduct on this
| occasion, in sacrificing all private interest in
i order to relieve the suffering of his fellow beI
ings. He deserves and will receive the grati!
tude of his fellow citizens.
TALLAHSSEE, June 14.
j By the news from Tampa Bay, received at
! St. Marks, it appears that the worst appre|
hensions entertained as to the continuance of
i the " Indian war, by those who have been dei
rided as doalful croakers," are to be realized.
! Our South Eastern frontier is again to be desI
olated. Many of the planters and small far1
mers in Madison, Hamilton, Columbia, AlaI
cua and Musqueto, had returned to their
! homes, which theyjmust now, for a third time,
abandon to the brand of Osoola and his wor|
riors. If, as we do not doubt, the Indians
i will again commence hostilities, the sufferings
' and misery of the inhabitants of those coun
ties will be almost beyond conception.
Our Governor is now absent from this city,

Crocks in West Florida. The newly appointed
Secretary of the Territory left Florida
about the time of his appointment, and we
are consequently witthout an Executive offi.
cer here at this crisis. The Governor, we
| learn, directed a draft for the protection of the
' Frontier, before he left for the West, (so well
satisfied was he after his visit to Tampa, week
before last, of the result,) and we learn the
subordinate officers are complying with all
dilligence with the order; although before
they can possibly be got into the field, we expect
to hear of the desolation, by the unsparing
savages, of the whole South Eastern
Front ier.?Floridian.

When we regard the uses of the thorax or j

all the important viscera which it encloses, f
viz: tha lungs and hearts, we are insensibly (
struck with wonder and admiration at the wisdom,
contrivance and skill of its divine fabri- \
cator. We cannot then refrain from holdiqg I (
the one who would attempt to alter its shape j
or size, to suit his own views of beauty or .
propriety, as guilty of arrogance and presumption,
and, we had almost said, impiety. A body
which requires a certain space in which to perform
certain motions,will evidently be retarded, ?
or perhaps entirely arrested, should that space i
be contracted ever so little,So it is with the lungs (

The African Glen is an artificial representation
of a sequestered mountain pass, opening

Fatal Mistakh.?On Saturday evening,
Mrs. Phcbe Whitlock, residing at No. 27, Renvick

ndisposed, procured from one of the i
servants in the kitchen a cupfull of milk, i
md went into the cellar without a light, to
jet a couple of spoonsfull of magnesia, from
he shelf, to mix with it. Shortly after taking
;he dose the lady cornolaiued 01 severe sickless
at the stomach, and the symptoms inceasing
in violence, medical aid was brought,
n, when it was ascertained that she had taien
arsenic by mistake. The packet was Iajelled
with the words, " poison" and " arselic,"
in large letters: but unfortunately, for
he want of sufficient light, they had not been
loticed by her. Every effort was exerted in
/ain to extract the poisonous mineral from the
stomach of the unfortunate sufferer, and she
lied in dreadful agony, after an illness of four
lours. The Coroner held an inquest upon 1
;he body yesterday, and a verdict in accordance
with the above circumstances was rendered.

and heart; they require no more nor less than 1
the exact space allotted them by nature. As c
soon as the human form is forced. ;r,d t
into the shape pronounced by Fashion, 4the
most lovely and divine;" just so soon do these
organs protest against the innovation, in the j
shape of pulmonary diseases, syncopes, head- .
aches, appoplexies and frequently death. We j
have, oursfllreg, u. itnocc<xi mortem examinations
of two victims of this distressing mal- :
ad}', Fashion; in both cases of which the ribs r
completely overlapped the sternum (breastbone;)
the diaphragm was contracted and infla- "
tned, and the heart incipiently ossified. How is it
possible nature can perform healthy and vigorous
functions, in so unnatural a system! We,
hence, object to every mode of dress which
tends, even in the slightest degree, to obstruct the
full play of all the vital functions. *
We were yesterday informed that five of the 1
Pilots at the Balize have been arrested by the r
U. S. Marshal, on charge of having been con- 1
cerneu in setting nrc to trie brig Argus. Tliey
have been examined and held to bail at S5000 ,r
each.
This is the vessel, an account of the loss of j
which or? the Grand Cozier, appeared in our j
paper of 13th of April last, where no mention J
is made of her being set tire to. She was .
bound from New York to this port, with an
assorted cargo. We have not learned the
circumstances which have transpired to authorize
the arrest.?N. 0. Bullitin.
It appears that Mr. Bodiseac, Russian
Charge d'Affaires in Sweeden, has been ap- :
pointed by the Emperor of Russia his minis- j
terto Washington, and that Baron.de Mal- ;
tit7., whom the papers announced as minister j
to this country, has been named by the Empe- ;
ror his Envoy Extraordinary and Minister j
Plenipotentiary to the Hague. Baron Krud- !
ener, late Minister to Washington, has been
named to Switzerland.?Boston Centincl.

three years twined, in a speech on the subject;
of the currency, remarked "that it was easy 1
FROM FLORIDA.
We learn from Capt. D'Lagnel, of the Ordnance
Corps, who arrived from Garey's Ferry
on Sunday evening, in the steamer Charles"
: ton, Capt. Bunnell, that an express arrived at
I Garey's Ferry on Friday lass, from Tampa,
1 which place he left on the 14th, that it is true
i that Alicanopy, Jumper, and others, had left
! Tampa previous to the 14th inst. but that
I their departure has not induced a suspicion
I on the part of the officers of the army, that
! they intended to be insincere.
Their reasons for leaving, are detailed in
! several letters, that they became alarmed from
j the appearance of the measles at Tampa,
| which the Indians mistook for small pox.?
; Abraham, the negro chief and interpreter, is
still at Tampa Bay, as Capt. D'Lhas been in
I tormeu.
| Micanopy sent back to Capt. Page a horse
' which lie had borrowed and ?40 also borrow'
ed from Capt. P.
Micanopy sent word to General Jesup, that
"he had a straight tongue"?implying that he
would fulfil his engagements.
Phillip and other chiefs had been in the
Camp at Lake Monroe, (Fort Mellon)?Philip
looking emaciated. They had appeared
owing to a message of Col. Harney that he
would issue no rat.ons unless the Chiefs came
in propria persona.
The report that several men had been murdered
(near Big Spring) is declared to be
totally unfounded. Major Whiting travelled
recently from Micanopy to Black Creek without
seeing or hearing of Indians, or Indian
signs?and he had an opportunity of deriving
?!;? b vt '^formation, as Cant Ringgold, with i
"bers of the Joint Stock Exchange. The capital
of this new Company is to be 8200,000,
divided into shares of 8100 each. The bills
to be issued are of all denominations, from
twelve and a half cents to three dollars. Sev
eral of the bills of the smaller denominations
are already printed, and the bankers have fitted
a neat room in Wall street, and will commence
operations an Monday next. Such is
a brief history of the new bank, which will
give our citizens additional assurance that we
are really and truly to have a better currency
under the wise Administaation of our great
financiers at Washington. But perhaps you
will ask. is the bank of which I am writing an
incorporated institution ? By no means. Have
they a right to issue bills in New York without
the authority of our State officers ? No.
Is it not illegal to issue bills in New York under
a denomination of $5 by incorporated institutions
1 Yes. And what then? Why.
the Joint Stock Exchange Company have examined
the subject legally, and avoid tfie law
of New York, by establishing an office in Patterson,
New Jersey, where their bills are dated,
or at least where they appear to be dated.
The New York Bank Company, I mean,
is to be considered a3 an agency of the New
York institution, and, under this covering, the j
banking expect to save themselves from pros- j
ecution, and from harm.
In all probability, the operation will prove I
profitable to the Company. First, because |
