S. Baulc and its blanches, are at length settled by the following annunciation in Ihe Wash. jiigton'GIobe of Friday last. It will be seen that the determination has been adopted to change the depo- Ki'tw lrom the U. S. Bank to the State Banks, by the first of October, or sooner, if practicable, in the four 'principal Atlantic cities. The public nroneys now in -the U. S. Bank are to remain until gradually with drawn tor the wants of the public service. The Globe intimates tjiat the reasons for t hie adoption of thi& measure will shortly be made public.-Bait. Amer Washington, Sept. 20, 1833. We are authorised to state, that the depositee of the public" money will be changed from the Bank of the United States to the State Banks, as soon as ne ces.sary arrangements can be made for that purpose, and that it is believed, they can be completed in Bal timore, Philadelphia, New York and Boston, in time -to" make the change by the first of October, and per haps sooner, if circumstances should render an earlier action necessary on the part of the Government. It is contemplated, we understand, not to remove, at "'once, the whole of the public money, now on depot-it in the Bank ol the United States, but to suffer it to remain there until it shall be gradually withdrawn, by the usual operations of the Government. And this plan is adopted in order to prevent any necessity, on .1. , ... P U n..l, C TTti,(n G!;.r, r . on this Btrbiect, h s made it proper to announce what i ,s inteadeii to be done ; and we understand that the ..facts and reasons which have led to this measure, will shortly be laid before the public. It is believed that they will be found to be amply . sufficient to justify the course which is now to be ta ken, iii relation -to the public deposits in the Bank -of the United States. Globe.' The New York Journal of Commerce gives the fol lowing its the outline of the plan on which the Trea sury has proposed that the business of receiving and disbursing the public moneys is to be done by the j otate Banks How far its accuracy may be depend-! ed on we are unable to eay : Depositcs in the Local Banks. The outline of i the plan proposed by the Treasury for an arrange. ! "'eat wnh the local Banks to receive the government deposits is substantially thia. That two banks in Iev-York, one in Philadelphia, one in Baltimore aJ one in Boston, five in ally should be associated toother, and takei the responsibility and superinten dence of thy whole business, engaging to perform aU the services which the U.S. Bank is required by law or has been accustomed to perform. These five primary banks are to nominate other banks or agents in all places where there is revenue i be collected ; these nominations to be subject to the ratification or the Treasury. The primary banks are each to give security in an amount equal to the ums Hkely to come into its keeping; and they are to become jointly and severally responsible for one another, and for each and all of the secondary banks r agents. They are further to allow a Commis sioner from the Treasury to investigate their affairs from time to time much as is now done by the U. S w-k. Such is the proposition. It is well and sal Eaciously planned for security, which under tht cir cumstances, must be a consideration al.ove all others. ut we think there must be great if not insurmount plan UldCles in the -w'ay of accomplishing such a ot so much perhaps on account oany difficulty m the n lture of the case, but because the arrange ment ,s 80. unlike all qjher arrangements, that the pro PMowers on the part of bank directors are wanting, ata the experience and familiarity with a -insibuity of this sort which would make tb vk-without unreasonable apprehension.

'I If moral, intellectual. and legal greatness be the sterling qualifications for a high judicial function, he is the man. In the early part of the week, the total dearth of news inclined us to exclaim " vive la bagatelle," or in plain English, " hurrah for fun." Don Miguel, who had been kindly affording us a" column for the last three months, had taken it into his head to run away, the Nullifiers remained in statu quo in South Carolina and every where else, and the opposition was letting: off its steam as usual after a hard days work by which nothing had been gained. We be gun to think that the " Practical Joke Book," or the "Flowers of Wit," or some other funny production would come into demand, for the purpose of making our readers laugh, since we could not give them any thing "late and important." At last, the news of the intended withdrawal of the deposites arrived, and we thought of sharpening our pens for a paragraph or so, but zounds and furv. what could be said? The Go- vernrnenl had a fight to act as it pleased with its own money, and there was an end of it Alas ! the only amusement we can recommend to our readers, is to watch how the vixen presses will gnaw and gnarl upon-this dry bone. The Raleigh Register says" alas for the Country!" Pourquoi ? The deposites are to be removed ! ! Mary of Burgundy or the Revolt of Ghent, is the title of a new novel from the pen of G. R. James, the author of De L'Orme and Richelieu. This truly in teresting and beautiful production, sustains well the high character previously acquired by Mr. James as an imaginative writer. While the other novelists of the day seem to be pitching their powers either too high or too Jow, he not only maintains, but gradually increases his reputation- by every successive trial The prominent character in this production is Albert Maurice, the famous patriot and hero of Ghent, who retrieved the pillaged rights of his country, and play ed a distinguished part in the stirring events of his time. His character and indeed those of all the per sonages introduced, are well drawn and admirably sustained. The current of events is rapid but no forced, and varied without being extravagant. " Men and manners" seem to form one of the favo- voi ite studies of the day. No less than three works of that character relating to England and some hal dozen on America, have been lately manufactured iin eagerly read. If the two nations will profit by these portraitures of their several faults, follies and excel lencies, they will be productive of much desirable good. Mr. Hamilton in liis work on this country is peculiarly and we think justly facetious on the am plify ing habits of our Congressional orators. They seem to disdain saying one word on the subject before the house but fly with avidity to the more agreeable contemplation of themselves and "things in general." TlTt: JOHN STONEY.

SEARS, WILLIAM FERRAND, " Elizabeth City, 24th Sept. 1833. The following remark of.the celebrated Bentham, In relation to our government, is thoroughly confirm ed by lacts. We quote from Rush's late work. " After we rose from the table, Mr. Bentham sought conversation with me about the United States. " Keep your salaries low," said he, "it is one of the secrets of the success of your flrovernroent." "But what is this," he enquired, "called a -board ol Navy Commissioners that you have lately set up I don't understand it ?" I explained to him. " I can't say that I like it," he replied; "the simplicity of your public departments has heretofore been one of their recommendations, but boards make screens; if any thing goes wrong, you don't know where to find the offended; it was the board that did it. not one of the members, always the board, thp hna rd t" I tmt hnmp 3 . te hour, haviner witnessed a decree of intel lectual point and streniFth thmnrrhnnt the TiViilo evening, not easily to have been exceeded.5' Extract of a letter, dated Liverpool, August 10. 1833. The transactions in our Cotton Market this week, have been rather circumscribed. Dealers and spin ners hive commonly restricted their purchases to their actual wants, and yet speculative buyers have not been deterred from buying occasionally. How ever, the business done has been partly at a decline I to i hut more especially for the lower qualities t'f American descriptions, which havo been offered n most abundantly. Still holders in general evince considerable firmness, and show little disposition to press sales, or to listen to the ntfpra of reduced rates. Those reasons that led to the heavy buying and conr sequent advance of prices, have not been invalidated by the occurrence of any new or unlooked for circum stance. It is said that the enhancement ol goods has nui Kepi pace wun mat o! cotton, but, we understand, the vent for yarn, which regulates the consumption of cotton, has not only been exceedingly oreat, but uMiuuucH to uc so, ana at prices which yield to the spinner a fair remuneration. In corroboration of this all mills, we believe, are in full operation, except such as are the property of those who manufacture thnir own yarns, and cannot make satisfactory sales of men juuus.

FOR, THE SENTINEL. ,Mr. Editor, lam very fond of an argument, whether I happen to be engaged in it, or am a mere listener. Q desire to discover truth, nrmat h imnlantftd in our minds by nature, for both the infant and the grown man show very evident signs of embarassment and discontent, when any thing occurs which sur passes pr baffles their reason and comprehension; while on the other hand, no intellectual pleasure is superior to that which attends the discovery of some fact that was formerly enveloped in mystery. Every one who has perused the elements of Geometry, will bear witness to the secret glow of delight which first transfused itself through his mind, as each new truth was gradually devolved and incontestably proved. My object however at present, is riot to expatiate, but simply to remark, that my pleasure both in hear jng and participating in the argumentations of my friends, is frequently thwarted by certain little impro prieties, which like sudden obstr actions in the bed of a calmly flowing stream, serve to muddy the current and direct it from its proper course. I do not claim for myself exemption from these faults, but I rather believe that the sense of my own aptness to err, has induced me to attempt their correction both in myself and in others. If then I may be allowed by our readers to act for once as a censor, I would observe in the first place, that before any argument commences, it is but fair that each person should be open to con viction. If we are so warped by feeling as to have formed a predilection f r one iside, v all reasoning is childish and useless, for it is without end or aim. The veriest fool in the world, will either not be convinced against his will, or if overcome by the power of rea son, will take all possible pains to conceal the altera tion of his opinion 1 Proceeding then upon the ax iom that our minds should be open to conviction, I propose as a rule in conversational debate, . 1st. That the subject of discussion be clearly defined and well limited. - It is very common to hear two or more persons disputing about some point very warmly, without understanding each others meaning, insomuch that if a friend steps in and explains the matterin dispute, it will be found that they entertain very nearly the same opinion. We ought to blush more at this thao being convinced by an antagonist, for the same rea son that it is more honorable for a ship to strike her colours after being overcome-in a hard fight, than for two, vessels acknowledging the same flag, tp batter one 'another through ignorance or negligence. The subject of discussion shduld likewise be limited in its extent, since a conversation cannot last more than a few hours at farthest, mid if we choose too general and extensive a range, no matter can be well examined. The reader will understand that this remark applies only when some particular ques tion is made the subject of conversation : other wise, it becomes the more pleasing as it is the more discursive and varied. 1 would propose as a second rule 2 That neither party should inter runtthe other. This rule presupposes of course, that the parties are reasonable men, and that neither win consume more time than is necessary for the clear and correct enunci ation of his opinion. If any one be of such a disposi ion that he cannot submit to this moderate restraint of his tongue, we may pronounce with certainty that he is not a fit person to argue with, for he will contin ually rove abroad, and accord ing to a quaint expres sion, " discourse of things in general." It is frequent ly the case, that a man who possesses no logical powersj nor can think on one subject five minutes together will obtain the reputation of a smart and expert de bater, when his only merit if merit it be, is his habit of chopping5 up the discourse of his opponent by certain flippant objections and half witted remarks, which have no relation to the matter in debate. The man who would converse well, should possess sagacity, pa tience and liberality lie should not be two forward in expressing a really witty thought, but should wait the seasonable occasion, and always keep full in view the more important aim of a controversy As nothing is more useful than a good comparison when it is employed to illustrate and enforce an ar- gument, so nothing is more destructive to the search after truth than a bad one. . By a bad comparison I mean one that is not applicable to the case in ques tion. A person frequently exults in the idea of having demolished his antagonist by a triumphant com parison, when in fact it bears no similarity to the ques tion at issue, or at least differs from it widely in principle. I would therefore propose as another ex cellent rule in conversation 3. Never draw a comparison when its applicability is doubtful. - . 4. Never throw out offensive personalities. 5. Never get into a passion. , The reasonableness-of the two last rules need not be enforced, since it is quite clear they are indispen sable. If these regulations be adopted 1 flatter my self that they will be of service. The faculty of conversation is certainly one of cur nobtest and har piest endowments, and I would be extremely gratified if any means were adopted forinvesting ifwith order and harmony, and for making it whait ought to be, a powerful and delightful auxiliary in the pursuit oi truth. Csbes. FOR THE SENTINEL. On bearing Miss say that was the gar den spot of .the universe. Lady ! tliou surely knowest not, That each one hath his, "garden spot," Some spot he loves thebest ; And tho' each land on earth should teem, With fairy scenes, he still would deem, is, brighter than the rest. The Arab loves his native sands, Far, far above all other lands, O'er which the sun e'er past ; And tho' the Samiel's pois'nous breath, Should on him breathe itrs blast of death, He loves them to the last. As his loved ship swift cleaves the waves, The sailor's heart for nothing craves, And placid is his brow; As she glides on her eager way, To him nought's like the glitt'ring spray, That sports around her prow. The stream-that slowly winds along, And scarcely breathes it's plaintive song, The wand'ring: Swiss delights ; But then, but then he loves far more, To hear the foaming torrent roar, Down his own Alpine heights. And once I knew a man who roved, -An'd left behind a form he loved, To him nought else was fair; And tho' his eye oft gazed upon The fairest scenes beneath the sun, PIrs heart was found elsewhere. Ah Lady ! should that heart of thine -E'er 'round a kindred heart entwine,. Where'er ye roamed, would not Each scene ye pass'd seem bright tothee ? Ah yes ! ah yes '.all earth would be, To thee a " garden spot." But, Lady, when affection's ties, Are rent in twain, the heart soon dies, And knows no " garden spot ;" And scenes which were eo bright before, Now only serve to clovid the more, It's sad and hapless lot.

The life of Pestalozzi, the great er part of which appeared in the Library, and the price for our London copy of which was $4,50, costs our readers only about 18 cents. For the Last Essays of Elia we paid $2,70. They will cost in the Library only 13 cents. The Travels of Major Archer in Upper India, were purchased by us for $7 50.
