Benntc on the subject. For the third reading, the rote stood, for the bill, 20—against it 9! The friends of the bill have acted with much praIdence during its progress, and have allowed its opponents every latitude in their examination of its provisions. The charter i», we think, a good end safe one, nad by prudence in carrying it into practical e/Tect, will prove a blewing to the

State and hey People. Its ultimato success will ^depend, in a great mcaiure, on the manner in which its aiTuirs ihall be managod. Some few weeks since, a friend, then at Indianapolis, thus e*pre»«ed fiimu-lf on thi««ubject: "After laying "down certain rules for the payment of the ••3tock, and the operation of the institution, "which is all the" A»»embly can do, its succcss •'nml usefulness depends on the intelligence and ••integrity with which it is managed.

Tiie DEFOSITE QOESTIQSI^—The editor of the New York Courier, who was recently at Washington, says, when he left that city, it was "well understood," that Kendall and Cambreleng had been sometime employer! in preparing a "report" adverse to the U. S. Bank, and justifying the pliant Secretary in the removal of the deposites. The Courier supposed that these co-laborers will finish and make their report about the middle of January. The question will then come regularly before the House. And tee note predict^ says the Courier,that after a warm and protracted debate, the Houte of Repretentativet will direct all future Depotitet of Government funds to be made in the Bank of the United States! This will of course be concurred in by the Senate, and the question then arises—will the Executive presume to veto such joint resolution, and claim to exercise an unlimited control over the purse of the country, in defiance of the express legislation of Congress? •M*..

to them The writer goes into an examination of the chances of the several candidates. Judge McLean, he says has strength in Ohio, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania, but that if either Geu. Cass or Mr. Cltty take the field he cannot count upon a single electoral vote. Col. Johnson's strength depends upon contingencies. Mr. Van Buren's position he thinks utterly beyond the control of himself and his friend?, and that his success or defeat depends upon the course which Mr. Clny and his friends may think proeper to pursue. He thinks Mr. Clay has thn entire contest in his own hands, except as regards electing himself—that as between Judge McLean and Mr. Van Buren, he is decidedly in favor of the latter, and that he must either select Gen. Cass from the candidates mentioned, or take the field himself with a certainty of defeat. From all this it is very plain, that tho favorite candidate of tho writer is Gen. Cass, and that his object is if possible to make him President of the United States. By way of recommending him to public attention, ho says "should Gen. Cass be elected he would call around him tho first talent and the highest character of the country, and his administration of affairs would not only be characterised by great caution, but he would restore to the office of President that true dignity which has been sacrificed in consequence of Iht successful intrigues of unprincipled men, who are ignorant of the decencies and courtesies of life, and have prostituted the administration of the country to the vilest and most mercenary purposes." In the calculation of chances the writer gives him oertainly Ohio, Illinois and Indiana, and puts him down as stronger than any other candidate in Pennsylvania, and gives him the independent portion of theilaokson party in New York, and the entire opposition if Mr. Clny is not in the field. He also gives him the State of N«wHampshire,with Isanc Hill, into the bargain.

FROM LIBERIA.

a late aitival, we have received a file of IfyS the Liberia Herald, from which we learn, with

CHEVIES, Esq. of Charleston, S. C.—emigrated to Liberia at an early period of its settlement. For many years past he has been engaged in com mere*, and had accumulated a handsome fortune by his industry, perseverance, and enterprise, when his e*rthly career was arrested in l|* 3«th year of his age. His disorder was consumption —and Liberia will have occasion to regret, in him, the loss

of one

He held, for some time.th* office of High Sheriff of the Colony, and in the various relations of life sustained and deserted the refutation of an honest and honorable man. When in this conntry, a few years ago,

STATS BANK.

On the forenoon of yesterday, in the tfoase of Representatives, the previous question was call ed and Sustained on the Bank bill, and on the question of engrossing it for a third reading it was determined in the A wanaTivK, by a vote of FORTY-EIGHT to TWENTY-THMfc. So large a majority for the engrossment of the (which is generally a test question) leaves doubt of its passage in the House whenever it shall be again reached, which will probably be to-day.

Since the above was in type, the bank bill has been ordered to be engrossed for a third .reading in tho Senate,by a vote of NINETEEN to NINE. There is no room to doubt that it will pass both Houses and becWme a law. There is some slight difference between the two bills, but not so much as in any degree to make Uie passage of a Jbill doubtful.—Ind. Journal. i-«j| ~f

The BANK BILL, which had previously passed the House of Representatives, was, on yesterday afternoon, in the Senate, after having beea nearly two days under consideration, and slightly amended, ordered to a third reading by a vote of TWENTY to NINE.

Since the passage of the Bank bill, the House of Representatives has been engaged principally in the consideration of the Canal bill, the Advalorcmbill, and the bill^nppropriatmg the three per cent, fund to purposes of internal improvement. The Canal Bill, as originally reported, proposed the creation of a loan of $800,000 for tho prosecution of thnt work. *An amendment was proposed to the bill, while in committee of the whole, to reduce the loan to $500,000, 400,000 of which to be appropriated to tha Wabash and Erie Canal, and the other 100,000 to the sur vey and commencement of a canal route from Lawrenceburtfh, up the valley of the White Waters, to the National Road. The question was not taken on the amendment when the committee rose, and obtained leave to sit again. Wheth er a bill, creating a loan on the pledge of the three per cent, fund for internal improvements, will receive the sanction of the Legislatuie, cannot at present, be predicted with certainty. A motion to postpone the furlhor consideration of the bill indefinitely failed yesterday by a large majority. In relation to tho Advalorem bill, it may be safely remarked that a majority of the House, and probably of the Senate, are in favor of the system, but whelher an agreement cad be had on the details of a bill may still be regarded as doubtful.

The Senate has adopted a resolution agreeing to an adjournment on S*h 2 do j*. e»*mw"wwttyiMi* was pttjjwyu mine House of Representation, but was IwjjLpn tho table.—-lb. 'L '«wa.3w»5^^

•Another candidate for the Presidencys—Mr. GeoaoK M. TROUP, late U. S. Senator from the State of Georgia, has been unanimously recommended as a candidate for the Presidency, by a meeting of thb Stnte Rights Party of Georgia.

And another.—Gen. WINPIBLD SCOTT has been named in the Daily Advertiser, published at Albany, N. Y. as a candidate for tho same office. The Dciauinre State Journal has the following in relation to it: ''Gen. Scott is an able man, an honorable man, and a brave soldier. He is also of ripe age and full of intelligence. The Jackson men cannot object to his being a military man, if his opponents,are content,"

The Presidency.—We observe with much pleasure that mnnv of tho republican papers arecomingout in favor of the election of President directly by tho people. There is little doubt that this subject will be one of the most important, next to that of Publie Lands, that will occupy the attention of Congress, the ensuing session.— As there is a growing opposition to a National Convention, for nominating a Presidintial candidate, if the advocates of that measure are really in favor of ascertaining the voice of the people on the subject, let them advocate the election of President directly by the people. Thft measure will be a repubican test.

A resolution has passed the House of Reprcieii tatives of the State of Pennsylvania, by a largo majority, directing an examination,and a report to be made on the finances of the State, For the purpose of ascertaining the propriety of granting a charter to the Bank of tho United Slates, should it not be renewed by Congress

Tht '''Banks of Newfoundland.—These banks extend over a space of 48,000 miles, and from 30 to 45 fathoms below the surface of the ocean. The shoal* are inhabited by innumerable tribes of muscles and clams, to which it is a favorite resi dence, as they can easily bury their shells in the soft sand. They have enemies to contend with. They keep a constant watch, and swim about a foot above the sub-marine sands, and when a nascle opens its sbeli, it ie inraiedfateip eeicerf and devoured. At ether times the fislMSti not wait tbey are provided with a horny protuberance round their mouths, and with this thty burrow in the sand and capture the muscle in the shell. The fishermen of various nations who tesert to these banks, take annually from 8 to 10,000,009 of fish, and on opening them tbey find the remains of 40 or 50 consoles in each, either wholly or partially dissolved. The first care of the fishermen after taking their stations, is to ascertain the depth of water, as the lines must be regulated so as to lie on the bottom, where the fish are always engaged in this special of submarine war-—.V.

Terrible Whirlwind.—A paper printed at Hopkinsvillr, Tenn, gives a melancholy account of the devastaiing effects produced b} whirlwind, which among a great variety of injuries done to the astonished farmer, twisted off large trees close to the root, and actually blew growing turnips out of the ground, and sent them flying through the fielda, like double beaded shot? The New-York Constellation says, this is nothing to a whirlwind off the Windward Islands, which we once heard described by an old tar. He said that during the most violent part of the gale, the captain of the ship opened his mouth wide, to gave some necessary order?, and had all his teeth blown smack down his throat.

This most hare been the same captain who once scud ninety-six hoars, with only a scupper nail struck into t^c deck, and a man standing over it with a hammer to drive it in, should it blow any harder.

gant assumptions of power for the Federal Government, were not equalled by JOHN ADAIUS in the worst days of his reign. 'C

Success sanctifies the worst cause, and defeat covers with a withering blight the noblest struggles of man. The great Revolution by which this nation became free, would have bee#r but a contemptible rebellion, had it not ended in the overthrow of British authority and power# South Carolina stood up against what she conceived to be a violation of her reserved rights as a sovereign member of this Union, committed by the Federal Government. She is now found upon the side of popular rights, nobly stemming the current

Executive ty

ranny, which threatens to overwhelm the government. We trust that the bill, the FORCE BILL, which put at the disposal of the President the whole military force of this Union, for her subjugation, will be wiped off from the statute book, and we may then find her co-ope-rating with the fjiendsof civil liberty, in wresting from the hands of the President the treasure of the nation which he has lawlessly seized upon. For we now say that if Executive patronage is sufficient to control the freedom of Congress, and the illegal acts of the President shall he sanctioned by that body, as in the days of John Adams, the only resource for the friends of constitutional freedom will be,as they did in '98, retire from the Federal Government and plant themselves upon the sovereignty of the {States, and then light the battle. John Adams could always command a majority of faithfu followers in Congress to do his will. The patronage of the Executive is now ten-fold more enormous than it then was, nnd it will not be surprising if the President should now find in Congress a band of sycophantic fawners of his bounty,ready to ratify all his acts. The States, then,in their original sovereign capacity,will be the best and last rampart, behind w^i^| tj^i friends of free government can rally. [Lexington Obssrver.

There had been no important occurrence o( late at Oporto. Captain Gage informsjjs that the enemy were hurrying about the town in large numbers, and an attack was expected. Gen. Stubbs, who is in command of the town, had but 2000 regulars, and 30 cavalry. The Miguelites had 3900 infantry at San Thirso, three Jearucs to the Noitheast of Oporto 2150 at Balthar and Penafiel, and 30 cavalry at Villa Nova, besides hordes of guerillas, who, hovering upon the mountains, are ready to desccnd at a moment's notice, and commence the work of murder and plunder.

On the morning of the 15th, about daylight, a gang of persons dressed like Migueliteguerillas, were discovered in Oporto by the guard a picquet, ten of them in a line in the middle ot St. Cosmc street, and others posted behind the houses. One of the guard was killed b) ah unexpected discharge from those in the street. Those behind the houses fired several times.

The noble daring connected with the above catastrophe, cannot but bo duly, appreciated. What, in the affliction of parents and friends thus deprived of their children, can be more consoling, than the fact, that a brother HRW to the rescue of his brother?
