(pThe last Raleigh Register contains the
proceedings of a highly respectable meeting of
Members of the Legislature, favorable to an a
mendment of our Slate Constitution, hekl in that
city on the 1 1th inst. We shall publish the pro
eeedins, in conformity to their wishes, in our

(7The House of Delegates of Virginia
have passed, by a large majority, resolutions dis
approving the removal of the deposites from
tne U. S. Hank, but also expressing an opinion
against the constitutionality of that institution
and the House of Representatives of Alabam i, by
a vole of 34 lo 30, have adopted a resolution ap
pointing a select committee to enquire into the
expediency of drafting a memorial lo the Con
gress of the United States, praying the re charter
of the Bank of the United States, under such
modifications and restrictions as may comport
with the interest and necessities of the country.

than usual. Newspaper editors might
write might expatiate upon the ruined
state of the country but the agricultural
interest would go an, and survive the
wreck: and the country would pursue its
onward course, notwithstanding all gen
tlemen might say to the contrary.
In the Senate, on the 23d instant:
Mr. Mangum presented the memorial
of sundry citizens of North Carolina, dis
approving of the removal of the deposites,
and asking their restoration to the Bank
of the United States. Mr. M. took or

signers of the memorial. His personal

Numerous meetings, for and against a restoration
of the deposites, continue to be held in ilifT-rent
parts of the country, and both parlies appear to
be sanguine of success we incline to the belief,
however, that the deposites will not be restored,
& that the fate of the Bank is irrevocably sealed.
Congress. The debate on the removal of Ihe
deposites Mill continues in both Houses, with but
little prospect of a speedy termination. In the
Senate, since our last, Messrs. Rives, Kwingand
Preston have spoken on the subject and in the
House of Representatives, Messrs. Jones and
Huntingdon. We give below some few remarks
submitted by Messrs Brown and Mangun, Sen
ators from this State. Mr. Clay's resolution, di
recting the Committee of Finance to enquire in
to the expediency of affording temporary relief
to the community, by prolonging the payment
of the revenue bonds, &c. being under consid
eration: Mr. Brown said, that for some days
past much had been said about the dis
tress existing in the country. This sort
of conduct went to produce the very ef
fect which honorable Senators were so
loudly lamenting to destroy public cre
dit. Yesterday, another key lud been
touched; the manufacturing interest had
been alluded to; and to-day they were
told, that by the outrageous and tyranni
cal measure of the Executive, in relation
to the Bank, the agricultural interests
had been laid waste. He (Mr. Brown,)
admired the ingenuity displayed by some
gentlemen, in destroying the public faith.
He supposed, the conduct to which' he al
luded, was perfectly accidental that it
was not intended as an attack upon the
administration. The honorable Senator
from South Carolina had informed the
Senate, that in consequence of the mea
sure of the Executive, the staple commo
dity of his State had been greatly depre
ciated. Upon this subject he (Mr. B.)
could not speak; but he could tell the
honorable Senator, that this depreciation
could be but uf short duration. Capital
would come to the aid of the honorable
Senator's constituents even from Liver
pool a flow of capital would take place
from England. It was a fixed rule in
commerce, that wherever capital could
be profitably employed, there it would be
found; that is, if the Bank, with the vast
influence ascribed to it by honorable Sen
ators, did not keep the money out. The
Senator from South Carolina had spoken
of the depreciation of cotton. Last
year, when no deposites had been remo
ved, it was stj lower than at the present
moment. If, therefore, the honorable
Senator's remark had any weight, it
went to prove, that the removal of ihe
deposites had been productive of good
rather than of evil. In his (Mr. B.'s)
btate, real property was now 20 per cent,
higher than u was last year. The tobac-
roads, schools, &c. &c. Yet the Con

Mint of the U. States'. From a Re
port, exhibiting the operations of the
Mint for the past year, transmitted to
Congress, we learn that the coinage ef
fected within that period amoutits to
3,763,710. comprising 8973,550 in gold
coins; $2,759,000 in silver; $23,160 in
cupper; and consisting of 10,307,790
pieces of coin.
Of the amount of gold coined within
the past year, about $85,000 were direct
from Mexico, South America, and the
West Indies; $12,000 from Africa;
$363,000 from ihe gold region of the U.
States, and about 13,000 from sources
not ascertained.
Of the amount of gold of the United
States, above mentioned, about $104,000
may bo stated to have been received from
Virginia; $475,000 from North Carolina;
$66,000 from South Carolina; $216,000
from Georgia; and about $700 from Ten
nessee. The amount of gold furnished last
year by the mines of the United States,
is estimated at a million and a half of dol
lars, or about one-fifth the amount pro
duced within the same period from all
other sources.
Hon, and that at least one-half of them
were fat friends of the administration,
and had supported it through good and
through evil report. On motion of Mr.
M. the memorial was referred to the
Committee on Finance, and ordered to
be printed.
G7"A Washington correspondent of
the lialtimore Patriot gives this desrrip
tton ot the Senate, while Mr. Shepley, of
Maine, was speaking:
"Clay and Porter, conversing; Web

Great Rank Robbery. We learn that
the banking house of the Philadelphia
Bank was entered by means of lalse
keys, between Saturday evening and
Monday morning, and robbed of small
notes amounting to about 03,000. Mow
a robber could gain admittance to the
vaults of an institution which keeps con
stantly in pay an outside watch, we can
not imagine; but this has been done twice
within a year at Philadelphia, and was
twice done since in New York.
OT'From an article, in the Chapel Hill
Harbinger, relating to the properties and
value of the Pine Tree, we extract the
following:
"The introduction of Gas-lights for the
illumination of the large cities nt night,
has created un additional demand for this
article. It is not probably known to ev
ery North Carolinian who visits Niw
York, that the material for creating tho
flood of light which surrounds him in ma
ny parts of the city is drawn from the fo
rests of his native State.
"Any one who has witnessed the kin
dling of a lightwood knot, or seen a piece
of rosin thrown into the fire, would con
jecture that either the one or the other
would furnish an abundance of gas, and
of a good quality. The gas is manufac
tured in long hollow iron cylinders, filled
with anthracite coal. These are heated
to a moderate redness the rosin which
stands melted iu a small cistern just a
bove them, flows gradually down upon
the hot coal and is converted into gas.
Worn the retorts it flows into the great
central reservoir, from which it is convey
ed through pipes to the points on which
it is to be consumed."
