District Banks.

Mn. SNowDEN,
AS there are a number ofnew Banks
in the district of Columbia who have APP
piled for Charters, and others to have
their Charters renewed; permitme, thro'
the medium of your paper, to suggest
a proposition, which / presume will meet
the appreciation of the public generally
and to which the stockholders can have
no serious objection, as they in common
with their fellow citizens will experience
the benefit thereof.
The Banks which have been incorpo-
rated in several of the states, have paid
considerable sums as a bonus Tor their
charters. OF number of cases [ will
mention that OF the Farmers and Me-
chanics' Bank of Philadelphia. This
Bank paid the state of pennsy lyania
10000 dollars in stock at par, it being
ten per cent upon the capital of the said
Bank at the same tine the capital was
encreased from 100000 to 100000 dol
lars, part of which additional stock was
given TO the state as a bonus, the re-
mainder sold by the Sank al 90 per cent.
above par; that being the price the stock
bore at the time it was Incorporated.
1t will not be denied, presume, but
that the Banks in the district can as we'll
afford bonus as the Banks in Philadel-
phia, particularly if we take their diyl-
dends as a data.
Vow as the government derives no re-
venue of this description from any other
quarter, it would not be just for it to go
into the treasury ii the United States,
but should be applied to the sole benefit
|of the places where the said Banks are
located.
A bonus Of only half the rate per cent.
Of the Farmers and Mechanics Bank
Of Philadelphia, paid by the different
Banks in Alexandria, except the Real
Estate Bank they INCREASING their ca
|pitals in the same ratio, would yield the
town Sa91,666 6e-10O, or upon their
present capital the sam of $4,000. A
sum sufficient to build new courthouse
and iaiI, and leave handsome pittance
to be applied to such other public i'm
proyements as the corporation might
IAlink proper. The same rule viii hold
good with respect to the Banks in Geo
Town and City of Washington.

Died, on Che Esd instant, at her resi-
sence in. Charles County, Maryland.
Hiss Cathanne .M'Pherson, in the 68th
wear Other age. The design of record
i the virtues Of the dead, should only
Be, to urge the living to follow their ex--
.,mple, and as the one afforded by the
life of the deceased is worthy of being iml-
tated, it may be safely said to those
whom she has left behind her, 6 Go we,
and do likewise" She was truly piOus,
sincerely believing in her Divine Re
leemer, and sedulous in obeying his sa-
cred commands. Her Affections were
tedious and severe, but the influence of
her religious opinions enabled her to bear
them without murrhur, and to die with
out groan. She was ailectionately de-
voted to her relations, and never lost an
opportunity OF serving her friend or re-
iieving the poor. TIE course she pur-
sued in life exalted her above the fear OF
death, by producing the llveliest hope OF
a, blessed eternity.

We sailed from Gibraltar few days

here on the 26th Dec. We shall leave
this place in a few days for Carthagena
for the purpose of receiving an answer
|trom Che Spanish government relative to
the detention OF the Algerine brig, which
believe we stipulated to. restore to the
cey Of Algiers. Ii she is NOT given up,
Il hope our government viii act epiritedly
Ion the occasion and chastise them for
their presumption. From what have
seen Of the Spanish character, | hold il
lin the utmost contempt. We find it ex-
|tremely difficult to find place of deposit
for cur stores, and the only plausible rea-
son they could give for not Immediately
granting US permission to land them,
was 4 fear of such a procedure not being
Sanctioned by the English. The Spa
niards are bigotted, priest-ridden and
lpusillanimous SET. Their troops are lit
tie better than a gang of robbers and as
sassins. Many of them would steal the
life of their fellow man for paltry dollar
Tor decent coat. 1t is extremely dan
gerous to traverse the streets of a Spa
nish town after sunset--a mans lite is
lin continual jeopardy. From the neg
Iected state OF the Qualifications at all
the Spanish towns have yet seen, am
induced to believe their government is
lin deep decline. Our force would be
sufficient TO lay nearly all their towns on
