We are now compelled to sav that within a few davs it has fallen very rapidly, and that it would now be unsafe for boats to attempt to pass the TBpids.

Previous to the resumption of specie payments by the banks, wo would ask, (and w ish to have a general expression of opinion on the subject,) would it not be politic, and tend to the general good, if Congress were to reduce the standard of silver in the fractional parts of dollars, so as to prevent exportation, and cause an abundant supply of auch coin, making it a legal tender only for payment tinder ten dollars? If this course be not adopt ed, it will be indispensably necessary to continua the use of small notes after the resumption of payments. This idea was luggeiifd upon reading the letter of Dr

Orockeubrough, President of the Batik of

Virginia, in answer to a number of queriea of a Committee of the House of Del Vircinia. We think it desi , o rv jing of the att-n'icn of the public, and i hope it may be read by all with an eye single to the interest of all as American citizens. Certainly would exno one

Facta, Prophecy and History. nrh 'he state of the country in 132. ATt tlir? opening of the first session of thc22d Congress.. (1631-1532) t'..o Secre tarv of the Treasury, the highest finar CX, authority in the United Stasis, in hi annus.1 report to Congress, described :h tin a niie condition of the Government and the it, in the icaowitui term?: "The indisoensnblo necessity cf such jan institution (as the Bank of the United eiates; icr me nscai operation 01 i.io gov ernment in an its departments, tor the preservation of ft sound i regulation and currency, and even for the safely and a utility of the local bank?, is not doubted, end is believed, has been shwen in the past i TPcru,tCC CJ itie Government, and in the gcnerai acccmmotition and otrunons r 4 t ,. . ... r "1 I"?

The present hntitulien mav indeed be institution may indeed considered as tho offspring of tr.&t necessity, enrinin. from tho inconveniences which followed the lossot the first Rank of the United S:atC3, and ihe evib end d:3iress incident to the excescive, and, in some in3ta nces, fraudulant issn -if the ! ?cal bank8 d jring the war.

'it h not inten loJ to assert that the bank of the United States 33 at psent organized, 13 perfect, or that the essential objects cf euch an institution might cot be obtained by means cf an entirely new one, organized upon proper principles and with sal'itary limitations. It must be admitted, however, that the good management of the present lank, the acccnurtod'Jticn it W given the GevernmcrU, and the practical benets it has rendered the community whether it may cr not have accomplished ell that w as expected from it and the advantage of its present con dition, are circumstances in its fcvor, en titled to great w eight, and give it strong claims uron the ccruiicratuii ct Congress, in any future legislation upon the subj?ct. To fr.es 3 niaybaadied tli3 knowledge the pieaent bank has acquired of the business and vents of various portions of this extensive country, which. Lcin tho result of time and experience en advantage it must necessarily possess over any new institution. " We come next the recital of T7ic predictions of tcise Staff tmen cf th: consequences of 'the Experiment.' A bill for re-chartering lri0 Ltik cf the United Slates passed both houses of Congress in July, 132, and beey.se-i1tvdie President for his signature, was returned by him to tho Senate w ith his objections on the tenth day cf July in that year. A solemn debate took place on the question. arising under tho constitution whether the bill should pa?s notwithstanding the Pre-ubent's objections; after w hich, all our readers know, that the number of votes in its favor m t amounting to two-thirds of the whole ScnatTlhe bill was rpirvted. To a few quotations from this Debate, as contained in the Register of Debates, ( Vol. VIII, p. 1223 tt acq..) we now invite the reader's attention. The debate was opened by Mr. ebstcr, w ho, in the course of a most ahle speech, predicted the consequences of the destruction of this institution. After srathat the two IIous s of Congress 'passing this bill had been 'governed bv aestre to avoid emuarrnwjrrcni in t;.e pe cumary concerns ot t;ie country. to o-3cure the safe collection and tho convenient transmission of the public roonevs, to maintain the circulation of tlv.i country sound and safe as it now happiiv is, against the possiole effects oi it of speculation," Mr. Web a wtid spirt made the foUowin-" remarkable prediction; 'l hesitat nto sav l:;at, as ta.s veto 1 travels to the W cil, it Wd uepreciaia the value ol ever" man s nroertv Its eflecta will be te.t m the price cj Lnils,u. great and leading article of estern property; in the price of crops; in the products of labor; in the repression of enterpris; and in the embarrassment to every hind of business and occupation. I take this opinion strongly, because I have no doubt of its truth, and am willing correctness should bo judged by the evrmt. Without personal acquaintance wi'.h the Western States, I know enough of their condition to be satisfied that whet I have predicted must happen. The people of ins u est are rich, but their riches consist in their immense quantities of excellent land, tn tne product cf these lands, end in their spirit of enterprise. The actual valuo of money, or rate of interest, with them is high, because their pecuniary capital bears little proportion to their landed interests. At an average rate money is not worth less than eight per cent, per annum throughout the whole Western country, notwithstanding that it has now a loan, or an advance, from the tank of thirty millions, at G per cent. To call this loan at the rate of eight millions a year, in addition to the interest on the whole, and to take away, at thesar; time, that circulation which constitutes ;o great a portion of the medium of payment throughout the whole region, is an operation which, however wisely conducted, cannot but inflict a blow on thecemmunity of tremendous force and frigh ful consequences. The thing cannot be done uithout distress, bankruptcy, arv. ruin to In tho same debate Mr. Ewing, of Ohio, b mani - IttlU

44lf this institution is really to be prostrated, if it have now received its death

blew, and is but to await and prepare for'selves to the circumstances of their con

its fined fall, the distress and ruin WtliCil it will occasion rests not with the wealthy money b'U'er, whose funds have found an investment in its stocks; but it must coine with fatal and unbroken force upon the iniustry, the enterprise, the public prosperity, and private comforts of tho whole extended we6t." "The Bank ol the United States must withdraw its issues, and call in its loans, or as much of the in as the amount of money in the country will meet. As this medium disappears from among ua, the property of every individual land, houses, stock the fruits of the earth the labor of the farmer, the mechanic, and all ' the products of their labor, must go down, almost to nothing; still for years this debt will press heavier and heavier upon our resources. The man who owes me bank will have his debtors, ana must press them in order to cast olT the burden from himself. Suits, sales of property under the hammer by the officers cf tho law, coma next in the progress of events. He who could come into the country in the midr-t cf a scene like that which we once witnessed, au ! which is ngsin at hand, armed with a few thousands of ready cash, might, if he had the hardness of heart to do it, buy .himself a dukedom out of the farms of our industrious but ruined yeomanry. "Rut this is not all. You sap tho morals at tho same time you thus rudely shake . t t 1 t m ... tha prospanty cl a people. Their first re3ort will be to legislative aid, and relief laws will follow, or, in other word?, laws to prevent tho collection of debt", (for what legislature can withstand the appeals of a whole People suffering under a general visitation?) 01, if not that, the creation of a ,o-l of banko with ficticious cauital. which mav seem for a lime to 1 j suspend the blow, but wiil make it fall the heavier at ia-u. And then, instead of the eafe end sound currency which w e enjoy, we shall again have a depreciated and worthless mass of trash, w hich will pu33 into the hands of tho people, and there sink into nothing, leaving them to Lear the loss." Mr. Clayton spoke in the fame spirit: "Tho prediction of Mr. Lowndes in 1819, must be fulfilled, 'that the destruction of tho United States Bank would be followed by the establishment of paper money, he firmly believed; he might also S3' he knew. It was en extremity, he paid, from which the House would recoil.' Tho farmer must again sell hh grain to the country merchant.ybr State Lank par, at a discount of from ten to tmclv: or even thirty per ceint. in the nearest commercial city. The merchant mint receive from the farmer the same paper in exchange for all the merchandise he consumes. The merchant with this money mu'it purchase other merchandise in the citiea and must often sell it ct an advance on that price, to the farmer, cf 20 percent, to save himself from less. The depreciation of the paper thus operates as a tax on the farmer, the mechanic and nil the consumers of merchandise, to its whole amount. The loss of confidence among men, ihe total derangement of that admirable system of exchanges which is now acknoH ledge i to bo better than exist in any other country on the globe, overtrading and speculation on false capital iu every part of the country. that rapid fluctuation in tho standard of value for money, which, like the unseen pestilence, withers all the efforts of industry, while th sufferer is in utter ignorance of the cause of his destruction, bankruptcies and ruin, at the anticipation of which the heart sickens, must follow in the long train cf evib which are assuredly before ui." Mr. Clay aI?o said: "Prior to the Rank, wo were without a capital of thirty millions which that institution now supplies, stimulating our industry and invigorating our supplies. How is tho West to pay this enormous debt of thirty millions of dollars? It is impossible. It cannot bn done, General distress, certain, wide-spread, inevitable ruin, must be tiie consequence? of an attempt toenforc the payment. Depression in the value of oil property, pheriifs rales and sacrifices bankruptcy must necessarily ensue; ana with them relief lews, paper money, a prostration pf ho courts of justice, evib from which we haVC just emerged, must : gain, with ail their !r.m of affliction, revisit our country." TMiprn ia b pounlrv in Alnbuma op Marengo. Tho circumstances under which tho appellation was given to it are alluded to in an address before the University of Alabama, by Mr. A. B. Meek they are connected with some historical incidents not generally known in this country. After the fall of Napoleon, several of his distinguished Generals and companions came to the United States and received from Congress on the 3d of March, lSll.a grant of lands in Alabama, the conditions of the grants being that the emigrants should cultivate the vine upon one acre of each quarter section, and the olive upon another, and at the end of fourteen yeers should pay to the General Government two dollars an acre for a fee-simple title to the land. Among the grantees were Marshal Grouchy, Gen. Lefebvre Deenouetts, Duke of Dantric. and a Marshal and peer of France, Gen. Count Rausel, Gen. Count Real; two Generals Allemaud, and Generals Vaudamme, Lakamal. Penniers, and Gamier de Suintes; with a number of other subordinate officers. They seftted upon the Tombecbee river, and called their colonyafter the noted battle of Marango a name which the country, embracing the locality of the settlement, still bears. Por a time, it appears the military ra ralbts dwelt peaceful and happily in their

new homes, and with the characteristic

philosophy of Frenchmen adapted themanion. A traveller in 18U passing through the settlement was ferried over a river by tho officer who La.l command cf Napoleon's advance guard on his return from Elba. While the warlike husbandmen turned their sword into a ploughshare and a sp'-ar into a procning hook, tho female portion of the colonists wore employed iu avocations still more in contrast with their former modes of life. The address remarks: Here, dwelling in cabins, and engaged in humble attention to the spinning wheel and loom, cr handling the w eeding hoe and rake, in their little gardens, were the matrons and maidens, who had been born to proud title and high estates, and who moved as stars cf particular adoration, nrrid the fashiun, refinement and imperial display of the Court of Versailles. And yet to their honor bo it stated notwith'tanding the rustic and il-propor-tioncd circumstances around them, thev did not appear dispirited cr miserable. Nothing of 'angels ruined,' was visible in their condition. They were contented smiling happy. One of the most r.musinff tiiin.'Ts r.mon? tho ijrtivjual compliances which tl.-e celebrateif warriors yielded to with native good humor, was to see them mustered andHrlled by a militia officer, on training Jays prcorJiug to the statutes of the commonwealth made and provided. But these unquiet spirit?, continues the address, nursed in the storms cf battle and tho convulsions of States, could not long brook tho peaceful pursuits of agriculture; and one by one, they left, some for the armies cf the South American Republics, some for their native country, until in 1833, hardly a vestige of tho colony remained. A stranger would now in vain look amongst the black lands audthf broad cotton heMs ot .Marengo, tor the f.i:itlc patches upon w hich the Duke of Dantzic or Count Clausel attempted to cultivate the olive and vine. n awfully sudden death. A death of a sudden character iov k place at St. Joseph's church yest.rday morning about 8 o'clock. Tho deceased was Mr. John Costello, a gentleman about GO years of are. He intended to receive the cou.munion, and the clergyman at the time was administering the sacrament to those around the altar. Mr. C. was discovered in 1 dying state in Ins own pew, the second fiom the altar: in a few minutes the vital rpark fled from his frail frame, and he died without an apparent struggle. Appopiexy is supposed to have been the cause. The sconce was solemn and awful. Phil. Inq, 3 one thin j ainjjnlar. A singular circumstance, which befel a pntlemanne day last week, was vestetday related to us. Tho gentLman in question had left Lancaster, IV.., in a vehicle, alone with the intention of g:.in ,r to Havre de Grace, in this state. Shoriiy after leaving the city, he overtook a woman with a basket en her arm, who requeued him to allow her to ride a short distance with him, saying she was very tired and ha 1 not far to g.i. He granted the request, but after a time, from some cause, he suspected his companion w as not what she prv.fes&ed i be, but a man in disguise. A closer examination tmder the veil, for the person kept closely veiled, confirmed his doubts, and as he was rapidly approaching a dreary wods, he was anxious to rid himself of hia company, b;;t how to do it was the question. Timo became precious, and he at last resorted to the ruse of knocking oil' his own hrt, accidentally, of course, while his horse was in a full trot. By the lime the horse could bo reined up the hat was left far in the rear. lie propose.1, to the lady to get out and bring it to him. This she refused to do, stating that she would hold the horse. The gentleman replied that the horso was rather a fiery one, and he could not trust him to her. After a little prrley she consented to go for the hat, leaving the basket in the carriage. The gentleman watched his timc7 and when ti"! lady was fartSicstr.fr, he w hipped up. leaving his hat behind, and drove with alt speed through the woods to tho next house. There he mentioned his suspicions, and upon examining the basket, a pair of pistols full loaded, and n tin wji'sjlc were found in it. The inference then w as clear tbat his companion was a viiiiaii ia disguise, who haa planned to rob, pernaps murder him, end tuat mere were accomplices not far off, who could be easily called by the whistle. It may be well enough to mention that ho had a considerable amount of money with him, a fact which was probably known to his companion. Thanking the stars for his escape, for ho considered it an escape most likely from a violent deathj he pockets tho pistols and the loss of his hat with the greatest pleasure imaginable. Consirdcff-an amnainj Stags Coach adventure A short time ago, a gentleman went into the coach office at Utica, and booked himself for a residence near Oswego. In the coach office w as a beautiful rirl. The gentleman thought, of all the persons in the world he should like her for a travelling companion. To his great delight, as the etago drove up he found that she was a passenger. Upon being asked where she would like to sit, she said, by this gentleman,' alluding to our hero. He felt much flattered, and thanked heaven that his personal appearance had captivated so charming a female. Smack went the whip, round the wheels. The gentleman conversed with the lady, he found that she waj free and easy, and

from her agreeable manner felt as if he had known her all his life. Evening closed in upon them. With evening camo twilight, and very shortly afterwards darkness. On rumbled tho coach, jcltir.:t ,d jerking in a most remarkable mannedit was an act of politeness, doubtless, on, the part cf the gentleman, to encircle tho waist of his fair companion with lib arm, just to keep her free from the jolting to which she might otherwise be subjected, ilo did this with some timidity. To his surprise, no objection w as made to it. Encouraged by the freedom allowed, as darkness had spread her sable veil over that portion of tho earth on which tho coach was rumbling, ho drew her to him and imprinted a kiss upon her nectarian The coach did not travel very quickly, but the enamored thought it llevv, when lie found himself on the following day within a few rods of his uncle's house. lie told his fair companion that they must shortly separate, and became quite poetical on tho occasion. Spoke of 'here we meet too soon to part,' and made use of many romantic speeches, expressive cf his deep regret ot being compelled so scon to sever from one who had Leen as a bright and glorious sunbeam on his earthly p:b;rhnagr; one whose memory would l.'.e iVe-ovcr and a day after in his losA:n, To his exceeding surprise, tiio young'.ady declared lie had been so exceedingly kind, that she coul.i'nt think of parting with him, and that she would go with him to ins uncle's house. He told her that he dared not take such a liberty. That ho had been in Europe for some years, and that himself a stranger eompa rativtdy, to his uncle, he could not introduce a iadv, who was a stranger to him and hij relation. Tho lady evinced hysterical symptoms. Iiis arm again encircled her waist, and their lips agatn owned a sweet communion. Tho coach stopped. The g-ntlemnn had arrived at the end of lib journey. He bade tho ic ' farewell. It was no go. She iusis upon his protecting her. She got out of tiie coach with him, and followed him into

He walked into the parlor, and. with what ho conceiv ed to be blushing impudence, the lady followed. While he was thinking how ho could pessibly explain the affair, he was welcomed by his uncle, and tho young lady was welcomed too, and kissed by rdl tho family. tjhe was hb cousin.
