BANK OF THE UNITED STATES.
Ph2ladelphia, April q


Yesterday at IL o'clock, the ceremony
was performed of laying the Corner Stone
of the building for this institution.
Enclosed in the stone was deposited, Sc
cured in leaden case, Glass Vase con-
tanning several of the gold, silver and cop
per coins of the United States, and the iol-
lowing inscription beautifully printed on
vellum paper:
On the 10th day Of the month April, IN
the 42d year Of the independence OF the
United States Of America, (being the year
1919 Of the Christian Era,
This the Corner Stone of the BANK OF
the United States was laid by Langdon
Chieves, President, and Jonathan Smith,
Cashier,
Attended by Nicholas Biddle, John Co

Strickland, Architect-Adam and Thomas
TraquaN, Marble Masons-Philip Justus,
Carpenter-Dan'l Groves and Joseph S.

And numerous assemblage Of the CT

Itwould seem by kind of exposition
in the New-York Evening Post, and by o.
ther publications, that though political par
ties are running high in the state OF New
York, those parties are notvery accurate
ly defined. The Post opposes, tot's vlr'-
bus, any support OF the Clintenian ticket
at the ensuing election, while it would seem
that some of the Federalists prefer that to
the Tammany ticket. The probability APP
pears to be, that the Federal votes will be
divided between the two, and in that case
il is doubtful which will succeed. We do
not perceive that any other Of the fede-
raj papers beside the Post seem incinedto
enter the arena upon this occasion.

DANGEROUS coUNTERFEITs.

The notes of a new emission of the
state Bank Of Georgia, have been so in
geniou.ly altered, the 6ves to fifties, and
the tens to hundreds, that it is not practi-
cable for any person but an officer Of the
Bank to discover whether they are ge-
nuine or counterfeit.
The only safe advice we can give is,
not to receive any notes of that bank OF
those den ominations.

The beautiful steam ship Savannah, com

here yesterday from Savannah. She made
her run from Tybee Light, in something
less than hours. This novel spectacle
drew large concourse ofspectators to the

admired by several hundreds Of our citi-

LITERARY sHoEMAKRRS.


The fraternity OF shoemakers have, I'M
questionably, given rise TO some characters
ofgreat worth and genius. The late Mr.
Holcroft was originally shoemaker. His
dramatic pieces must rank among the best
Of those on the English stage. Robert
Bloomfield wrote his poem Of " the Far
mer's Boy" while employed at his bust
ness, and DR.. William Corey, professor of
Sanscrit and Bengalee, at the college OF
Fort William, Calcutta, and the able ana
iudefatigabIe translator of the scriptures
into many of the eastern languages was IN
e,r,v life shoemaker in Northampton
shire. The present Mr.. Clifford, the trans
la.or of Juyena!, and the supposed editor
OF the quarterly review, spent some OF his
early days in learning the Graft and mys-
,ery'' ola shoemaker, as he tells US, in one
of the most interesting pieces OF autobiog-
raphy ever penned, and prehxed TO his
nervous and elegant version OF the great
Roman satirist. -
The fountain Of st. Alyre, which runs to
Clermont Fenand, in the department OF
Ruy-de- Dome, is justly ranked among the
wonders of nature IN France, on account OF
the petrifying property of its waters. The
various caIcareous matters, held in solution
by the water penetrates so perfectly through
bodies submitted to its action that they be-
come identified with them, are mingled
deeply with their substance, and assume
their forms thus by their concretion, they
change into solid masses, into true stones,
vegetables, flowers, branches of limbs and
entire animals.
This phenomenon of nature. which in
some measure calls TO mind the fable Of the
metamorphoses, has given the idea to All in
habitant of the country, to carry to Paris a
number OF these singular productions, and
to form cabinet of curiosities in the Croiy
de. petits- Champs, No. 81. You see there
fox running after fowl, which reminds
you of the dog in the fable which reaches
but never seiz,s the hare that does not fly
from it-a spaniel always ready to follow
his mas,er-birds that are trembling with
fear, so that you might thing they were pc
,rifed by fright, Sc. All the objects which
the cabinet contains, seem as if liked by the
head of Medusa. So much does the I'M
age OF life remain deeply imprinted on
the victims Of death, that some preserving
power prevents you from noticing the seal
Of destruction.
The p.oprie;ors of this cabinet have had
the honor of presenting to the King petri-
fed bed. They show also picture repre-
senting ths magic fountain and its land
/. scapes, and the yisi! which the Duke 'Au-
goaleme had the curiosity to make to it
One Of the most astonishing works of this
fountain is, to have produced by successive
coucretions, a natural bridge, which is ex-
tremely picturesque, the arch of which is
decorated with stalac.ytes. This bridge
makes one OF the beauties oftLe picture.

this city, in the case Of Capt. Pcrcival, Of
Boston, and Capt. Hickey. late commander
of the British sloop Of war Atalanta.
During the existence of the non-inter-
course law with Great Britain in May, 1910,
the schr. Mary was fallen in with on her re-
turn voyage, by the above sloop OF war,
then in company with the frigate Cleopatra,
and after an obstinate chase from early in
in the afternoon until between s and o.
clock in the evening, the sloop of war came
sufficiently near to bring the M. to; and at
ter her sails were down, except the Jib and
foresail, with light hoisted, she was run
a midships by the sloop OF war, and sunk IN
very short time after; the Captain and
crew saved themselves on board the sloop
of war. She had on board valuable car
90 and considerable specie, owned by cap
tain Percival, who had not time even to
save his papers. or wearing apparel. Du-
ring our late war with Great Britain Capt.
Hickey was transferred to command on
the lakes, at the conclusion ofpeace, on his
passing through New York, on his return to
England, was arrested at the suit of Capt.
Percival.
The trial commenced on Thursday morn
ing, and after patient investigation by an
intelligent jury for three days, the verdict
was rendered in favor OF Capt Percival for
S29,7 "a cents, and costs. Wells and
Ogden, Counsellers, were bail for the de-
fendant. -
We have received returns of abou! FIVE

The executive council of Maryland this

siness.
The most singular instance of self-de
st:uction that perhaps ever was heard of,
was perpetrated by a maniac in this city
last week.-Mrs. breakfast having been bro't
as usual, after drinking the tea, he split
the bowl in two. and with the rough edge
of one of the broken pieces cut his arm.
near the shoulder, until every sinew was
rent, and thus bled to death.
An example of peculiar atrocity occurred
in the state prison at ChIrlestown not long
ago, which has not often been paralleled,
in regard to ferocity of temper. The war
den had ordered one of the most ingenious
workmen among the prisoners, to make
blade for penknife, in which he was very
expert, and fix it in handle, which he
held in his hand, The convict gave him
an impudent look, told him if he would let
him have quart Of rum, ne would perform
the work. This being refused, he offered
to do it for pint Of spirit but the keep
er told him to begin Immediately. IIe then
peremptorily refused, swearing he would
not obey him. "You WON'T" said the keep
er. "then III find means to make you do
it." The criminal at once placed his left
hand upon the work bench, took up hatch
