5 v Til E NORTH CAROLI?lAk from the lidlemrh Standard, IVe publish below, for the information of our. readers, chapter 3G, on cnrreocy,.from the new Revised Code, as follows: '" '': " '.' . ."I The currency of this State, and all re cords foe bills of ' officers." official accounts, ncconnts for moneys collected by officers, ac counts required to be returned to court, and all other proceedings and papers of a public nature shall be kept in dollars and cents.- 2.

And every person offending against this section or aiding or assisting therein, shall likewise be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor. 6. No person or corporation shall pass or receive, as the representative of, or as the sub stitute for, money, any such bill, cheek, certifi cate, promissory note, or other security of the kind mentioned in this chapter, whether the same were issued within or without the State. Arid any person or corporation, and the officers and ajreuts of such corporation aiding therein, who shall offend asrainst this section, shall for every such offence forfeit and pay five dollars, and shall, moreover, be deemed guilty of a mis demeanor. T. The public treasurer is hereby directed not to receive in payment of public taxes, the notes of anv bank in the State that issues bills of a denomination less than three dollars. The old Revised Code, chapter 11, entitled "Rank Xotes," contained the following: ' 1. that it shall not be lawtnt tor any per son to pass, circulate or receive in payment within this State, anv bank-note, bill or promis sorv note for the payment of monev, issued by any state or sovereignty, or by' any body politic or corporate, not authorized to issue the same in and by any of the laws nnd statutes of i tUis Ss.tate, under the denomination of five dollars. j 2. Any person offending against any of the; i provisions of the preceding section shall forfeit j the nominal amount of such bank note, bill or promissory note with costs of suit, to be recov ered in the name and for the use of any person who shall sue for the same, and prosecute such suit to judgment in any jurisdiction having cognizance thereof." The provisions on currency, chapter 3 A. as reported by the Commissioners, Messrs. Biggs nnd Moore, and printed for the use of members of the Legislature, are as follows: : "1. The currency of the XJ. States shall be the lawful currency of this State, and all records, fee bills of officers, official accounts, accounts for moneys collected by officers, acconnts requir ed to be returned to court, and all other pro ceedings nnd papers of a public nature shall be kept in dollars and cents. 2. All persons are hereby forbidden to pass, circulate, or receive in payment,' -within the State, any bank note, bank check, bill, or pro missory note for the payment of money, under the denomination of five dollars, issued by any state or soveriguty, or by any body politic or corporation creates! without or within this State, unless the issuing thereof shall' have been expressly authorized by .this State, nnder the penalty of forfeiting for each offence to any one who will sue for the same the sum of two dollars. 3. Tf any bank, corporation' or confpany, which may be allowed to issue promissory notes commonly called bank notes, orders, drafts or cheeks, shall issue any such note, order, draft or check, especially payable otherwise than in specie, such bank, corporation or company shall for every such OiTence. forfeit and pay to any person, who will sua for the same, one hun dred dollars, and every person who shall aid and assist in the issuing thereof shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor. It will thus be seen, that under the old 1'e- visccl OcvAe it wns not lawfuV to any AimiU note of a denomination less than live dollars. unless issued by authority of this State; and that persons offending were liable to forfeit the amount of the note and costs. This was in tended to apply to the Rank notes of other States; but it is well known that the law was generally and habitually disregarded. We have examined the original of chapter So, of the new Revised Code, in the Secretary of State's offiee, as passed and signed by the Speakers. The reader will perceive in what particulars and to what extent this chapter i differs from the chapter as reported to the Leg islature by the Commissioners. It will be observed, however, that section 2d of the chap ter as reported by the Commissioners, merely forbids the circulation-or Rank notes of a de- noBiination less than live dollars, under the peaalty of forfeiting for each offence the sum of tjwo dollars; but this section goes further tha'n the old Revised Code, in that it prohibits under the penaltv above stated, the issuing of such bills under live dollars by any body politic r corporation created without or within this State, unless the issuing shall have been ex pressiy aurnorizeu uy mis oraie. Tins, we presume, was intended to apply to the Rank of . Fayetteville, to the Rank at Elizabeth City, and to the Greensborongh Company. The 3d section of the same chapter, it will te seen, thus reported to the Legislature, forbids Ranks, : corporations, Sec, from issuing notes payable otherwise than in specie; and Ranks and cor porations .offending, were rendered liable to forfeit one hundred dollars for every such offence; and every person aiding and assisting in thus issuing, were to be held guilty of a misdemeanor., The chapter, as it passed, and as we now lind it in the Revised Code, is a sub- ose of of the Eaton, part of Rortch, Revised stitutc for the chapter reported by the Com missioner; and the presumption would seem to be that it is either the work of the Committee of the two Houses on the Revised Code, or at least the result of the suggestions pf that Com mittee to the Commissioners, Messrs Riggs and Moore. Xo doubt the Commissioners concur red with the Committee as to the chapter as it now stands; wlmt we mean to say is, that the Commissioners, in their report on -this subject, did not go as far as the Legislature has gone; "and that the presumption is that the Committee of the two Houses suggested , and advised ' amuMinehts ancteitkins to the chapter as originally reporteand printed for the members. This Committee consisted following gentlemen: Riggs, Graham, Ashe, Haughton, and Fisher, on the the Senate; and Shepherd, Dargan, and Amis on the part of the House. The Cth section of chanter 36, new Code, seems to be most generally complained of. An intelligent member of the last Lcgisla tnte, writing us on the subject, refers to the chapter as printed and laid on the desks of members: and to the fact that this chapter did not make it a misdemeanor in persons to pass or receive bills tinder three dollars. -He is opposed to small bills, but not prepared to go in this respect beyond the old Revised Code, or beyond the provisions of the chapter as reported by the Commissioners. We learn that attempts are being made, in (Certain localities, to manufacture capital out oft this act. It is charged that a Democratic Leg islature Is responsible" ?o'r "H.-" That m eq unjust and absurd. It is a State measure, on a most important subject the currency; it was no doubt the result of much reflection; there was no party feeling in or. about it. One "of the Commissioners is a Democrat, and the other a Whig; and the Committee of the two Houses consisted of live Democrats and five Whigs. If some of the provisions of the act he justly obnoxious to protest and complaint and we.do not say they are it must be remembered that gentlemen of all panics in the Assembly' were equally interested in it; and no one will say that i U lug had objected to these provisions, that objection would have been disregarded on account of his politics. xo say that, would be to utter, silly suspicions and nonsense. We trust we shall hear no more of such charges. We do not believe that the circulation of small bills will be to any considerable extent checked by this law. The 1 ayettevdle Bank, which is not expressly forbidden by its charter to issue bills under three dollars, still issues under that denomination,' as heretofore; and besides, we observe still in circulation one and two dollar notes on the Rank of South Carolina. We do not know, but we presume that the question of the right of the Rank of Fayette- "... . - . - 4 A I ville thus to issue, is a question, noi lor uie Legislature to decide, but for the Supreme Court. - Reforms of this sort, however desirable, can not be effected at once." Resides, much is due to public convenience in this respect. The peoj pie have become accustomed to the use of these notes; they find them portable and convenient; and if eutirely banished, it is not certain that specie would at once and fully fill their places.

The circular owns that the desire expressed by i the Kuiperor of the Vrencli, nt pulli.-sfili'u.i.i- tv, in favor of a prompt and durable peace, was at the same time, and still is. the dearest j wish of the Emperor Alexander. Referring to; the Vienna Conference, the circular casts npon ! the allies the blame of having rendered abor- j tive all negotiations for peace.

ISri. Journal. The Law of Libel. A libel suit has just terminated in Philadel phia, and terminated in a manner vvhich cannot be otherwise than highly satisfactory to news paper publishers throughout the country. In this suit, a Mr Donnelly was the plaintiff, and the Philadelphia Ledger the defendant. The jury assessed the damages to Mr. D.'s character. from the publication of the alleged libel, at one dollar. We allude to the case solely with the view of bringing prominently before the public the principles laid down in the judge's charge to the jury. , His honor said: ' . "The plaintiff is charged with having driven his wife with violence from his house, w hile she was in an advanced state of. pregnancy, and without eveu the "poor excuse which might arise from intoxication. The only real question under these circumstances is, not whether this charge, unexplained and unjustified, is a libel, but whether there is enough to explain and justiiy it. One thing which meets us at the threshold of this inqniry is the position of the defendants as editors of a newspaper. One rule, which may be stated without fear of contradiction, is, that the editor of a public journal may tell the truth in all cases without fear of the consequences, and that, while he does so, he cannot be made answerable in a civil proceeding, nor. indeed, anywhere, unless on the ground of malice, or a wanton interference with the comfort iU Happiness ot otnei - "An assertion that another has made ct-ntcmcnt is true if he has made it: and vet, if that statement be false and libellous, the truth will not protect those who repeat it. This holds good of the editor of a newspaper, as well as of all other persons, for the law will look to the substance, which is untrue, and not merely tothe form; and will consider the original wrong as aggravated and repeated by him who give it currency. Hence a newspaper cannot justify the repetition of a misstatement, on the grounu that it was derived from another person, whose name is or is not mentioned, however true it may be that he actually made it." 1 , A CARD.

We learn from the New "ork Ex press that the packet-ship St. Denis, which sailed from New York for Havre on the 1st inst., foundered at sea on the 5th. The captain, second mate, part 'of. the passengers and crew, went down with the ship. The first mate and remainder of the crew, who had left the ship in the long-boat, were picked up by a foreign vessel. The Express says: . .. ; -- "The St.-.Denis was a two-decked ship.fixer twelve years old, and was very" hanusomrly fitted up, being planned internally like our first class steamships. She was provided- throughout with over twelitr-five India-rubber- beds, de signed to be used as life-preservers in case of accident, each capable ot sustaining tniic per sons in the water. Rut the cainn (thosi rescued state) filled so soon that. it was impossi ble to set at them. "The last that was seen of the captain wh'o all concur in saying refused to leave his ship, though begged so to do by all he was standing on deck winding up his watch when she went down, but ten minutes after the boat left. 'Captain Folia nsbee had commanded the St Denis for nearly twelve years, aud had th'eiepu tatton of a first-class and fearless seaman among the sailors. "Many of her crew, in the superstition com mon to seamen, attribute the disaster to her having sailed oh a Friday. 'The rescued seamen were iu the boat twenty niue hours, with but one barrel of sea biscuit, soaked with salt water. 'They had not one drop of fresh water, nnd their sufferings m consequence were intolerable. : The Rev II. II.
