Dr. JVatkins. The Court, be
fore whom this case is pending,
have sustained the demurrer filed
against the two first bills of indict
ment. This effort on tho part of
the late Fourth Auditor, to stifle
enquiry, and prevent an exami
nation into the facts of his case,
does not speak very loud in favor
of his innocence; but, on the con
trary, is pretty direct evidence,
that he is afraid to meet investi
gation, and is an implied admis
sion of his guilt. Another bill of
indictment has been found by the
Grand Jury, which has also been
demurred to. Fay. Jour.

State Bank. We to-day pre
sent our readers with the Report
made by Peter Browne, Esq. at
the late meeting of the Stock
holders of the State Bank, in be
half of the Committee appointed
in December last, for the purpose
of giving a detailed account of the
situation of the affairs of t he whole
institution, with the documents
therein referred to. This Re
port, as has been already stated,
would have been made by Judge
Ruflfm, the President of l he Batik,
had he not been called away by
the dangerous sickness of his mo
ther. The Judge, however, re
turned in time to be present at the
meeting of the Stockholders, and
to express an opinion on the Re
port, lie said, he had no doubt
that all the facts stated therein
were correct; but he did not think
that all the inferences drawn from
those facts were warranted, lie
had reference principally to the
commencement of the Report,
where the losses sustained by the
Dank are brought into view.
These losses, as appears from the
exhibit A, have arisen from bills
of exchange, notes discounted, and
from depreciated real estate. To
tal estimated amount 8415,531 89.
In order to ascertain" what the
half-yearly loss of the Institution
would probably be in future, the
Committee divides the whole loss
already sustained, by the number
cf the half-years which the Bank
has existed, and thus concludes
that the future losses of the Bank,
as long as it shall continue in op
eration, will be $13,000 every six
months, so that the Bank cannot
ui iiuiu ucieiuiur uu expected
to make a dividend of more than
three per cent, ner annum. The
Judge objected to the justness of
uie calculation. About 50 per
cent, he remarked, had already
taen deducted from the original
cost of the real estate, so that no
additional loss could be expected
1n l,iat ite which amounted to
p4,780, and that the heaviest
4sse.s under the other two heads,
had been sustained at two of the
Branches many years ago, and he
trusted similar instances would
never again occur. These cir
cumstances beinr considered, he
must think that the estimate of
the half-yearly losses in future,
had been greatly overrated.
The Judge also observed, that
he did not agree with the opinion
expressed by the Committee, that
the closing of the business of the
Bank would have no injurious ef
fect on the circulation of our bank
notes. On the contrary, he appre
hended, if an assignment of the
concerns of the Institution were
to take place, that a material de
preciation of the value of its pa
per would be a certain conse
quence. Raleigh Reg.

Tl
io circumstances attending this
unfortunate affair, as far as they
have come to our knowledge, arc
these: An altercation took place
between the parties, when Way
nex threatened to strike Powers
with a stick; upon which Powers
went off, procured a gun, and re
turned. The quarrel was then
resumed. Waynex advanced up
on his antagonist, who warned
him that if he approached him, he
would shoot him. He, however,
continued to advance, and Powers
at length fired, and lodged the
contents of his gun in W.'s abdo
men. Powers was immediately
arrested and committed to pri

The Gray Racers. On the 2d
inst. Betsey Ransom and Ariel
contended for a purse of S500,
four mile heats over the Dutchess
county course, N. Y. The first
heat was won with great ease by
Betsey, who took the track and
kept it to the end, coming out se
veral lengths ahead. The second
heat Betsey took the track, and
led Ariel for three miles and a
half, when Betsey being ten or
fifteen yards ahead, was suddenly
drawn up to wait for Ariel, with a
view to make a close thing of it,
down the last quarter. Betsey
being thus drawn up, and Ariel
coming up with a burst of speed,
passed her by two lengths, and
took the track. Betsey then made
her run and was gaining every
jump on Ariel, but was beat the
heat by not more (according to
the judges' decision,) than eight
een inches. The third heat was
beautifully contested, and was
won by Ariel. Time, first heat,

availing themselves of the offer
from our sister state, that patients
who are in good circumstances
will be received at $3 per week,
