ency iof establishing a Boafd of Commis
sioners to be denominated the Committee
of Education, who shall have the entire
management of the finances of the Uni
niversity & such Common Schools as may

expediency of granting to th University
the aid which its situation at present re
quires, on condition that the Treasurer
will convey to the said Commissioners all

ther with the Literary fund shall consti
tute a general fund for Education, out of

Schools as may be hereafter established,
are to be supported. A Resolution by Mr.

preme Court to be held alternately at Ra
leigh and Statesville, was yesterday inde

mons, by a considerable majority.
The communication from Governor
Owen in a preceding column, addressed
to the Legislature, will explain why he
has retired from the Executive Chair, at
a period earlier than that authorised by
the Constitution and sanctioned by cus
tom. It is matter of universal regret to
our citizens, that the G6vernorjas deter
mined on this courf! ; but, as in his opi
nion, it will conduce ,to his private wel
fare, we are bound to acquiesce. 'During
the residence of himself and family among
us, they have endeared themselves by the
exerciseof every social virtue, and will
leave behind them the most friendly re
membrances in every class of the commu
nity. '-
We are authorised by, the friends of
both Gentlemen, to state, that the rumour
of a challenge having passed between Go
vernor Owen jEind Judge Mangum, is un
.true. That some difficulty was supposed
to exist between thera, which has . been
amicably adjusted, and" in a maYiner sa
tisfactory aud honorable to both gentlemen.

it be so modified a3 to correct abuses and

that he takes pretty much the same ground
in relation to the Bank of . the United
States, that he did in his first Message,-
Vhich had the effect of depressing the, price
of stock of the United States' Bank from

took the Chair. Iu the House of Repre

that body adjourned to nexjt day, when he
appeared and took his seat
No business of consequence has yet been
done in either house, the members having
yet scarcely made themselves thoroughly
conversant with the President's message.
On the question to refer that part of the
message relating to the U. States Bank,
to the same committee that report edagainst
it at the last session, a short debate was
elicited, which went to shew conclusive
ly, that the sense of the House of Repre
sentati vesis decidedly against any present
i.: il. -o :Il?:. if -i
aeuuu upuu uie ruxecuuve. recommenaa-
tion. It was eventually referred tothe
same committee, who Will doubtless again
make a report similar to the last: What
ever may be the ultimate fyt& of the ques
tion of re-chartering ,the present Bank,
appearances are a decisive nqy,as at Ia&t
session, against thef establishment of a Go
vernment Bank, on the principles sug
gested in the message. . ' ' .
On Sunday last, the annual Discourse
in favor cf the North-Carolina Bible So
ciety, vas preached in tlie Presbyterian
Chu ch in this city, by the Rev. TV P.
HuNTjjfrom 2 Thessalonians iii, 1 (the
Rev. Mr. Osborn having been prevented
by sickness in his family from fulfilling
his appointment.) The Sermon was ap- j
propriate and impressive, and the collec
tion was. liberal
The annual meeting of tlie Bible Soci
ety was held in the Senate Chamber on
Monday evening. Dr. Caldwell, the Pre
sident of the Society,being absent, Fred.
Nash, Esq. one of the5 Vice-Presidents,
presided. From the Report of the So
ciety for the past year, it appears that
this Society has been very active, not on-,
ly in supplying the destitute m- its own
county and vicinity, but in promoting the
general distribution of it throughout the
State.
On Tuesday everfing, agreeably to ap
pointment, a Convention of Delegates
from a number of the 0ble Societies es
tablished in different parts of the State,
was held in the Senate Chambor. at which
David F. Caldwell, Esq. the Speaker
of the Senate presided. .' The Delegates
present reported the progress whichvhad
been made in supplying the destitute
families in their several neighborhoods
with the Bihle; and the fitev. Mr. Gould,
and the Rev, P. fp. Dowa Agent of the
Parent Society (who had travelled through
almostvery part of the State) gave, the
necessary information from the Counties
which were, unrepresented. And it ap
peared,.from these reports, that there are
not more than half a dozen Counties.' but
what have been attended to in whole, or
in part; and that in a majority of the
Counties, all the destitute families! have
been furnished with a complete, copy of
the! Scriptures.
We were concerned to learn, thatirr
porlion of Edgecomb County, the desti
tute not only refused to admit the Bible
into their houses, but abused and ill-treated
the young men employed on the. bene
volent errand of supplying them with the
bread of life."
