Xt is thought that the Western part of our State
i more thoroughly drained of a circulation than
any other part of it ; and it ariiea from the fact,
that for eight months or two years tho Agency at
M organton baa been curtailing slowly, but con
stantly, its loans, and with but a slight exception
discounting none. Whilst the mother Bank and
the other institution hare, it is believed, never
ceased entirely to loan their funds. To this cause
may be added that there remains in somo, if -not
all of the Western eouoties, unsold, a larger quan
tity of stock than is usual. In fact thcro has becu
no demand for the article whatever. If tho poo.

result, I think that but a small increase of good
paper would be needed. It would mako up in ac.
tivity -vhat it lacked in quantity. It would revi
vify expiring hope and stirnulato despondence.
At all events, there should be enough to produce
these results. There is no institution to which we
can look for effecting this, but the State Bank,
through its Agency at Morgantun. Will she do
it? I have taken the liberty of supposing some
of her objections to the measure, and attempted
to shew their fallacy. There may be others : It

The House or Representatives, after receiving
rrports of two or three bills, pasted over the Un
finished Business of the morning hour, (the Rc.

niittea of the Whole on the state of the Union
and resumed the consideration of the Civil and
Diplomatic Approbation Bill. Some little pro.

in the midst of an unfinished debate on a motion
of Mr. Graham, of North Carolina, to amend the
bill hy providing that hereafter no stationery shall
be allowed, at the public expense, to members of

as far as it was in their power. The Bri

who is a British subject, should be given
up. Santa Anna immediately give orders
for his instant liberation, upon his arrival
in the city. Young Combs was imprisoned
in a dungeon, or in chains upon his arrival,

thirty days, although our minister had op.

That the church of Rome is a true church ',

Such are some of the delusions put forth by
these men, and they meet with tho partial
support ofa great muny who cannot go the
entire length, but adopt them in part, both
in belief and practice, each according to
his measure of credulity.
Tho doctrines of free trade arc gaining
large additions to their1 advocates, and will
shortly, I think, be .triumphant here; they
will achieve their first victory, I think, in
an hnportant-modificatforrof the corn laws,
whicli the administration will introduce
early next session of Parliament. Mr.
Christopher, a member for Lincolnshire,
who is high in tho Ministerial ranks, both
from his connexions and his standing as re
presentative of one of the largest agricultu
ral counties of England, lately made a
i . . ...i.: A : . vftfM
speecil 10 ins constituents, which is gene
rally regarded as indicative of the opinions
and tho intentions of the Cabinet. Mr.
Christopher considers that the law should
aim at fixing the price of wheat as nearly
as possible between 56s. and 65s. thequar
tor. This he pronounced to be the extent
of protection which may be justly elaimetd
for the farmer's well being, and conceded
without unfairness to the rest of the com
munity. And this, or something like this,
he proposes to secure by affixing a mi, am
urn duty of Gs. per quarter upon wheat,
when the averages amount to or exceed the
sum of 65a,; and then, as prices decrease,
increasing the duties (at what rale1fedid
not say) till it arrives W its maximum, of at
least 20s., or at most 30s. Taking it at
20s., it must be allowed that this would be
a most material change. As tlic scale at
present stands, the duty on wheat, when
selling at 05s. per quarter, is 21s. and 18d.;
when at 50s., is 30s. 8d.; when at 38s. per
quarter it amounts to the height of Bos,
8d. A concession which substitutes 5s. for
21s., and 20s. for 53., is certainly a very
considerable abatement on the part of the
agriculturists ; and, looking at the quarter
from whence these statements have ema-
Inatcd, they fnayVbe safely .regarded as
what the ruling party will propose in far
liament. The public journals, however, in
the opposition, say that Mr. Christopher's
plan, coupled with some proposed altera
tion in the taking life averages, will make
the corn laws more oppressive to the con
sumers than they arc at present. Candid
men of all parties admit that, if Mr. Cs
scale of duties was accompanied with some
judicious changes in the mode of taking the
averages, it would cssentinlly benefit the
poorer classes. But all who judge fairlv
and impartially say that nothing but a fired
tow duty will.be a-radical remedy.

forevery one. as fhey require skill, tact,
quickness end keling, in order to be dp.
prcciated and acted upon. If you want

will answer admirably with all ranki, from

If, on the other hand, the lady refuses
you in a ready-made and well delivered
speech, which had evidently been prepared
and kept waiting for you, then, make your
bow, and thank your stars for your lucky
escape, u Klie admonishes younnconsider

feelings, and support affliction If she tri
umphs, in fact, and is condescendingly po
lite then cut a caper for joy. and come
down in the attitude of Joliii of Bologne's
flying Mercury, for you have ample cause
to rejoice. If the lady snaps at you, us
much as to say, ' You arc an impudent

ruply with a few stazas of Miss Landon's
song :
' 1 here is in southern climes a breeze,

Fixed on one point oh faithful gale.' .
Thou art not for my wandering Dale.'
