A friend writes us for information as to when the Books will be opened for subscriptions to the Banks authorized to be established at the late ses sion of the Legislature to wit, the Bank of Eliza beth City, the Bank of Charlotte, and the Yancey ville Bank. We do not know when the Books of subscription, will be opened or at what points; but we suppose due notice thereof will be given in the public prints. Some apprehensions are felt and have been ex pressed as to the result of the increase of Banks in this State ; and we have Bhared, to some extent, in these apprehensions. One great fact must, how ever, have its full weight in reflections and calcula tions upon this subject, and that is, the immense quantities of gold which have been and are stil Dourinor in from California and Australia. With- out . this increase of the precious metal, a crash would, ere this, have been tho consequence of the spirit of speculation which has" pervaded the coun try. " But tho ' present high prices cannot . be perma nently maintained. ' A change a falling back to the old standard must, sooner or later, take' place. And it is to be hoped that, at least, the Banks in this State will so regulate their issues as to keep heraselves jn a sound condition, whatever may be he result elsewhere. ..

Harnessing sit mules to a carnage with his crampaign baskets op behind, he proceeded to place some half dozen corps in the field, 1 he cautious and astute President looked on in ut-I ter consternation, and finally said to him, " Sir, you have mistaken us entirely, we are poor, we look to our subscribers threogh' the country ' to do the grad ing, or to contribute the means for it as Ihey may be able, while we hope, to raise as much money from the citizens of Savannah, as will in time enable us to kitw I K a iron on I cr.pl thm tiin.ttf rttf hva knt n. cannot afford the expense of your numerous corns 0f engineers for a single year." the result was that they were paid off, the matter satisfactorily arranged, and they left the work. Among the assistant engineers was t . r. Holcomb, a young man barely at majority, but with considera ble experience, and who had attracted the attention of Mr. Gordon, and Mr. L. O. Reynolds, the latter now the able and efficient President of the South Western road. It was arranged that Mr. Reynolds should take the chietehip, and he gave to Mr. Hoi comb the location of the road.' Upwards of four years were occupied by him with his single small corps in the sarvev ' the road passing through a country of difficult topography, a great part of it a wilderness. and intersected by immense swamps, the corps Iiv ing in their tents summer and winter, sleeping in their blankets in the absence of matresses, and the annual expense of the whole engaged probably net equalling the salary of the former tJhief Engineer. I may remark as showing the geod judgment of Messrs. Uuetdoaand Keynoids, that irom the admirable iocs tion Mr. Holcomb was universally conceded to have nade of this road, he was recommended by the Chev alier Bodisco, the Russian Minister, to his govern ment, as an Engineer of high capacity and establish ed reputation. But Mr. Ii. did not go to Russia, but has since located the oouth-western, the Uoloinbus branch, the Waynesborough and Augusta, and is now engasred with his corps in a preliminary survey of the Savannah and Pensacola road. These roads all have connection with the Central, in most of them it is directly interested, their length when completed. including the Central, will be some 700 miles. Among- the early employees of the Central Rail Road in a very subordinate capacity, was W. M. Wadlev, whose talents and great business energies were discovered, and who became superintendent of the Road, managing it and its great freight business with an efficiency and success unsurpassed. He is now managing the State Roads, under an Executive appointment Prom Uov. Uobn ; tne poor mechanic boy " t i r:i it-: ti - maynowbesaidtobeine"Kaurood rung oi oeor- gia.

R. Cuyler, Esq., who to fine financial talents, joins that industry, order, care and attention to business, so necessary in" a good ex ecutive officer. The annual' receipts of tho road nnder his administration have reached one million cf dollars; the stockholders are receiving eight per cent, dividend, with a handsome surplus on hand the stock being above par, the road out of debt and its receiots annually increasing. The system of chock and accountability is the most perfect I have ever seen, full reports in writing being required of each conductor of every day's operations, So much' for the persunel, and I have dwelt tho more 'upon this because it hap, probably,' generally as much to do witn tne success oi-ranroaa enierpri- a" a . . laft a - zes as the character and capacity of the general and officers of an army have to do with - the success of military camnairns.

Savannah, is devoting bis fortune to the great enterprise, and he is strongly co-operated with by the merchants and others of Savannah, and a large amount of stock has already been sabajcribed.

The British consul at Malaga was William Laird, another old Scotch gentleman, nd he was followed by Mr. Marks, an Englishman. . If the new Empress of France is Countess Teba as stated, then her mother is deal, as is also her fa- ther, and she took the title of her mother. The name Montego, under which she passed in Paris, is per haps one of the family names or titles of the Palafoix family." The Emperor Napolean has announced his in tention of espousing this lady in the following speech! EMPcnoa's Aodbzss. Messieurs:-! assent to the wish se often expressed by the nation, and come! to you to announce my intended nuptials. The alii ahce contract is not in accordance with the old politi cal traditions, and therein lies its advantage. a a' a a ' : r ranee, by its successive revolutions, has ever abruptly severed herself : from the rest of Europe. Every enlightened government ought to seek to lead her back within the pale of old monarchies; but this result will be more certainly attained by a just and straight-forward policy. and by an honesty of conduct more than by a royal alliance, which creates false security, and oflen substitutes family interests for these cf the nation at large. Besides, in this respect, examples ot the past have feu in the spirit of the I people superstitious ireungs. It is not forgotten that for seventy years foreign princesses have ascended the steps of the tbnne on ly to see their race dispersed and prescribed by war or revolution. ' ' Only one" woman has aeemed to' bring' happiness to live more than otlierv in the affections of the people and this woman, Ike modest and good wife of Gen. Bonaparte, was not of royal blood. . 11 must be admitted, however, that in. 1810, the marriage of Napo'eon the first with Maria Louise was a great event. . It was a guaranty for the future. and a real satisfaction to the national pride . to see the ancient and illustrious house of Austria, which had so- Song been at war with us, solicit an alliance of the elected chief of the new Empire. How, on the other hand under the last reign-- had the amour prnpre i f the country to suffer w hen the inheritor of the crown vainly sought for several years ta ally himself with a sovereign house, and ob tained at length a Princess, accomplished no doubt, but of a second rate rank and of a different religion. ; When, in the fare of all Europe, one is borne, by the force of new principle, to the height of ancient dynasties, it is not by antif oating one's rscotcheon. am seeking to introduce himself at any price into the famijT 0f kings, thatone makes himself accepted.. It is mocn rather by always keeping one's origin in re membrance, in preserving one own character, and in taking frankly, before Europe, a position of parve nua glorious title when it comes from the free suf frages of a great people. Thus obliged to depart from -the precedents fol lowed even to the present day, my marriage became but a private affair, and there remained only to choose a person, bhe who has be-ome the object of my preference is of high birth French in heart, by ed ucation and remembrance of blood shed by her fath er fur the cause of the Empire. -She whom I have chosen has, as a Spaniard, the advantage of having no relative in France to whom it might be neresiary to give honors - and dinitie. - Endowed with all ihe qualities cf soul, she will he an ornament to the' throne, as in the 'days of danger she - would become one of its most . courageous supporters.. -A devout Catholic, she will address to Heaven the same prayers as myself for the welfare of France. Good and gra cious,' she will revive, I have a firm liope in the same nofition, the'virtues of the Empress Josephine. I come then. Messieurs. -to say to France that I have preferred a woman. whom I love and respect to any .unknown lady,, whose alliance .would - have biought advantages mingled with sacrifices.
