The New Bank.The Register gives the fob lowing synopsis of ihe provisions of the Act just passed by the Legislature, To establish the Bank of North Carolina. The first section provides that the Bank shall be established, with a capital of two millions, one half of which may be sub scribed for by the State. The second provides that the principal Bank shall be located at Raleigh, and for the establishment of such branches as the President and Directors deem expedient. The third directs the Governor to issue Proclamation appointing Commis- tol, viz: Duncan Cameron, Henry Sea well, Wm. '-Boy Ian, Wrn. S. Mhoon, and R. M. Saunders, Esqrs. met at the offiCe of the Public Treasurer on Saturday m to take into consideration the subject committed to them. D. Cameron, Esq, was appointed President of the Board and J. Gales, Secretary. It was resolvl ed that the Capitol be immediately re. ouiii, entirely ui pwui, xui. wm. S. Drummond, (a builder from Washing ton City, who conies highly recommend, ed) be appointed Supcrintendant of ilc building. Raleigh lieg. flyriic Ualoiwh Register "jives the following abstract ol the rrotcsts submitted to the General Assembly. On the Resolution, reported from the select loint committee on euora re a tions, instructing our Senators and re questing our Keprosentatives in Uon- 1 1 gress, to use all constitutional means to procure a peaceable adjustment of the existing controversy between South Ca rolina and the General Government, Mr Clark (of Beaufort) voted alone in thf negative. His protest is confined to that Resolution, on the ground that as it is the duty of our delegation in Congress, both by the Constitution under which they act, and by their oath to support the same, to attend to the general concerns of their constituents, the adoption of the Resolution, would seem to anticipate a dereliction on (he part of the whole of our representation in Congress, of their ap propriate duties, and would manifest a disposition in the Legislature to pass, in advance,' a vote of censure upon them. Mr. C. also takes the position, that the Legislature is one set of agents and Con gress another, appointed for distinct pur poses, both deriving their powers from the sovereign people, and that one agent ha no right to instruct another, the privi lege to do so, being vested alone in the principal from which both derive their ex istence. These, we believe, are the rea sons which he assigns. Mr. Townsend's protest is confined to the Resolution denouncing Nullification, adopted by both branches of the Legisla ture. He repudiates the South Carolina doctrine, not believing it to be a constitu- sioners to open books of subscription at the places therein specified. At the end of sixty days, the Commissioners to make return ot subscription, auo it one minion of dollars be not subscribed, then the Go vernor is to issue another Proclamation announcing the fact, and authorizing new books to be opened. At the end of nine ty days, if five hundred thousand dollars )C subscribed, then the Governor is to ssue another Proclamation appointing a day for the subscribers or their agents to meet at Raleigh, for the purpose ot ap jointing a President and eight directors, to serve until me ijemsiature meets, when the President is to be elected bv that bodv, and annually thereafter. The fourth provides that subscribers hall pay the whole amount of subscrip lion within ninety days after the first ge neral meeting.

The ninth declares that the Bank shall old no properly other than is requisite for the transaction of business. The tenth provides that the total amount of debts which the Bank shall at any lime one, must not exceed three times the amount of the capital stock ac tually paid in. In ease of excess the di rectors to be liable in their private capacities. I he eleventh forbids the issuinir of notes umier one dollar. The twelfth prohibits the Bank from dealing in any thing but what pcrtuins strictly to banking concerns. The thirteenth prescribes six per cent, as the rate of interest, and provides for the making of half-yearly dividends. The fourteenth provides that on all Notes for which payment may be refused, either at the principal Bank or its bran ches, 12 per cent, interest may be demanded. The fifteenth imposes a tax of one per cent, on all individual stock alter 1838. The sixteenth directs a particular and full statement of the affairs of the Banktn be annually submitted to the Legislature. 1 he seventeenth gives to the State the right of choosing one Director for every S250,000 worth of stock subscribed, and declares that no member of ihe Legisla ture shall be eligible eilher as President or director. The eighteenth, nineteenth and twen tieth sections relate merely to meetings or tne siocKiiomers. The twenty-first provides that anv offi cerof the Bank who may embezzle its property, shall be deemed guilty of felo ny and prosecuted accordingly. The twenty-second, that books of sub scription may be kept open until all the stock is taken. The twemy-third, that the notes of the Bank shall be received for taxes or debts due ihe State.
