We observe that the Bank of Scotland
has reduced the rate of interest on depo-
sites from three to tho per cent. This IS
decidedly disconraging symptom, as
It shows the difficulty OF finding advan-
tageous employment for capital. 1t is
probable that other banks will follow
Inc example; and if this take place, the
rate of interest on deposites will have
fallen one-half in this city within the
space of three or four years; for short
time ago it was fourper cent A query
arises, whether the rate of discount will
experience a similar decline. and be re-
duced TO three per cent-Scotsmaa.

Good nssss for the Tobacco Planters
Some years ago when Lord Byron
was irst represented by frontispieee
in bis poems, few of our would-be-
poets caught the idea of high forehead,
remarkable feature in his Lordsbip's
countenance, and shaved their heads
almost to the pinnacle, making them as
bare eutside as ia--the ADVANTAGE being,
however, for the inside, rs it must be
confessed they were hair Drained.
The circumstance TO which we refer.
is undoubtedly within the recollection OF
many of our citizens; now as we know
the initiative faculties Of the demi-poetic
genius, and as the class is unlortun ately
large, we publish the following extract
from the memoirs Of Bvrcn, under the
conviction that we shall promote the in
terest Of our neighboring states, where
the Indian weed is cultivated:
