(QThe Newbern Spectator recently gave as a report, that the Hon. Charles G. Shepard, the Whig Representative in Con gress from that District, had changed his opinion respecting the Sub-Treasury pro ect, and was now in favor of it. The last Raleigh Regester states, upon "com petent authority," that the rumor is whol ly unfounded. The mere circulation of such a report among the Whigs, indicates that they are aware of the slippery founda tion on which their vaunted majority in this Stale rests. The only apparent test question in the ensuing Presidential election will be, A National Bank or Independent Treasu ry, and on this, our Congressional delega tion now stand G to 7; another Whig change will give the Democracy the pre ponderance. The Legislature will soon meet, & we doubt not the Whigs will have to encounter something more substantial than rumor, relative to the change of opinion of several reputed Whig members of that body, on the above subject. Se?iator Brown. We regret that our limits forbid the insertion of Senator lirown's Speech at the Yancey ville dinner. The following passage we extract, howev er, as it gives a quietus to the Whig specu lations on the subject of instructions: "If, at any time, it shall be the pleasure of the Legislature of this State to pass Reolutionsof Instruc tioiij I shall endeavor faithfully to carry out their wishes on my part, unless 1 am required to do an act contrary to my convictions of con stitutional principle and duty. In the latter case, honorable as I deem the high trust which has been confi ded to me by the State, "a private station would become the post of honor." (?Thc appearance of a Circular, issued by the Paymaster General, has given rise to an attempt to con vict the Government of inconsisten cy, and this paper of uttering false hoods, in relation to the notes of the United States Bunk; and this is done by one of the Bank organs in the greatest language. We will ex plain the whole nature of the trans action which gave rise to this Cir cular, that our friends may under stand it. Th'j Federal papers may make what use of it their well known regard to truth and justice will die- late. Tlic heavy drafts of the War Department for lunds at distant point?, which wore supplied by drafts on the BunU of the United Slates, given for the purchase mo nrv of the bond due by that institu tion to the Government, were like!)' to produce great inconvenience to ihe distant banks in which the funds of the principal debtor Bank had been deposited to meet the pay ments, if drawn out altogether in specie; especially so immediately after the resumption of specie pay merits by those institutions, hel lers were exhibited to the War De i artment, representing the serious inconvenience to the banks, und, consequently, to ihe commerce ol that part of t lie country, if ihe call for specie, when not required by the creditors of the Government, was persisted in. In consequence of ihese representations, the De partment authorized the bureaus to instruct their several disbursing offi eers to check on the banks, that the public creditor might have the op lioti of receiving the notes of specie paying banks if ihey preferred to do so, or demand the specie, a right which this mode of proceeding does not deprive them of. The Govern ment makes no war upon the hanks; it merely desires to see their opera tions confined within their legiti mate sphf.ro. It will at all times be disposed to extend such legal ac commodations to the banks, and to commerce, as may be in its power; and never has made war upon the legitimate pursuits of either. This, however, is what the Federal papers will not understand, and are deter mined to misrepresent. Globe. (jJB meeting of the citizens of the county of New Hanover, and town of Wil mington was held at the Court House in said town, on the 31st ult. at which the following resolution was adopted, and a committee appointed to carry it into effect. Hi suited, That the Chair appoint a committee of five persons, re spectfully to invite ihe members of the General Assembly, the Cover nor and Council, and the Board of Internal Improvement, to viit this Town, via the Wilmington and Ra leigh Rail Road, to partake of the hospitality of the citizen?, and that said committee be authorized to make suitable arrangements for their, reception. City f Kew York. The Evening Star gives the following statistical account of the population of the Commercial Em porium : "Wc have probably 20,000 free negroes to begin with; secondly, ns many or more; persons who are na lives of ihe "Green Isle," about 5000 English, Scotch, Germans and French, each; and to conclude of Portuguese, Spanish, Italians, Swedes, Mussulmen, Poles, Asia lies, &c. about 5000 more, making a foreign population (including col ored people) of near 70,000 out of 300,000 souls.'' lmjjortant Constitutional Qucs tion. We learn that a case has been made in Northampton, with the view of bringing before the Su premo Court the decision of the question, "whether State residence and the payment of a tax entitles the person to vote for the Commons in any county in which he might at the time be a resident" Judge Saunders held that the pay ment of a tax and twelve months' residence in the county, "immedi ately" preceding the day of election, were necessary to qualify the party to vote. From this decision there is an appeal; so that the Supreme Court will have the opportunity of settling this much contested ques tion. Rat. Standard, IVic. Legislature. This day, two weeks, the Legislature of the State will assemble in this City, and, already, the busy hum of prepara tion is every where heard. The Capitol not being in a stale of sufli cient forwardness for the accommo dation of the Legislature, the very spacious building, just erected at the corner of Fayetteville and Mar ket Streets, by Benjamin B. Smith, sn. lias been fitted up for that pur We took a turn through its pose, various apartments, n day or two since, and were struck with the con venience and neatness of the tem- oorarv arrangements made, which, we are sure, will give satisfaction to nil concerned. Besides the large Halls, where the two branches ol the Legislature will sit, there are an nronriate and commodious Confer ence and Committee Rooms, and Clerk' Offices, with the usual ap pondages of galleries, lobbies, &c We consider it a matter of just nriile to our Git V, that not withstand in the embarrassment of the times, one of our townsmen has persevere through difficulties in the construe tion of a building, not only capact ous enough for all the purposes of a legislative body, but which, in tin symmetry of its proportions and thi beauty of its finithjwill vie with the choicest Architectural specimens ol Uhesnut and Broadway, fcuch en terprize deserves, and will, we hope, meet an appropriate reward. . Raleigh Register. Our Market. Wc underlain that Bacn and Lard are very scam in this Market. An experienced friend says, that Bacon will bring 15 cents per lb. by the Load. Those who have it, had better bring it in, while there is a demand for it. ib. A Reclaimed Slave. We see from the Philadelphia papers thai Mr. James Shaw, of Martin county, but formerly of this City, has had some trouble about a runaway Slave of his, whom ho found in Philadel phia, afier having been a fugitive about 16 monlhs. He was at con siderable expense in proving his property, having to tako on witness es from this State, but succeeded ul timatfdy in recovering possession of the Slave. ib. G7.Sf whose trial was brought from Craven to Beaufort Superior Court last Spring, and who was con victed of a rape, but whose cast! was carried to the Supreme Court, and the derision of ihe Court holow affirmed, was sentenced by Judge Toorner, at our Superior Court last week, to be hung on Friday 23d of November, (inst.) Washington Whig. Fayetletille, Oct. 31. Cotton. In this town, sales at 10 to 113 8. In Charleston, the sales of last week amounted to 2250 bales, at from 10 to 14 cents, of which 1395 b ales, or more than half, were at 13i cents. At New York, the market is in a languid state, sales of the week about 2000 bales, exclusively for home use, at from 9 to 14j. Sub sequently the market had become more firm, and a purchase of 500 bales for shipment, at 14, was made. At Mobile, Oct. 27, sales from 12 to 14 cents. Observer. Rutherford ton, Oct. 24.The Negro man who was charged with the murder of William Baxter, his son ami niece has been since appro bended,, tried and convicted of the often ce-. lie was hanged in Pen dleton on Thursday the 17th inst. We understand that he confessed his guilt upon the scafl'old, and sta ted that he was instigated to it by the individual from whom Maxtor purchased him. About Sl4U(J of the money taken, has been recover ed by the friends of the deceased. C?iMoney in New York is abun dant and the Banks are discount ing freely. Capitalists find it diffi cult to realize over seven per cent (legal interest) for their money, and shavers are going mad. The ICxpress of Tuesday, evening edi tion says : "This great change in financial matters has been brought about in a great measure by the improved stat of exchanges on the South. An immense amount has been locked up all the past year, and Merchants had their debts collected and placed in Banks there and taken certifi cutes of deposile. lheso certifi catcs they have hecn compelled cither to sell at a most ruinous sac rificc or keep them until the present rYl r.tmlo hnVP HOW iVC'Ar- ly nil come into marKot auu nent the sudden change. The banks at l hi South have made arrangements with those of the North, by which they can pay these large demands upon them wiinoui mumui customers. The banks of-Missis-sippi have negotiated a loan with J U. S. Bank for six Millions. The banks of Tennessee have made a similar arrangement al the North."
