A man by the name of William Price
Stevens, was committed to the Jail of this
town, few days ago, upon the charge of
kidnapping and offering for sale as slave,
a mulatto boy named John, about seven
years old. Since his confinement he has
confessed that the boy is the child ofhis sis
Ter, white woman, but that he did not in
tend selling him; however, the evidence that
caused his commitment, proved, incontesti-

BANK OF THE UNITED STATES.
MIR. Adams, one of the minority of the
Committee appointed to investigate the af-
fairs of the Bank OF the u. States, laid before
the House of Representatives on Monday
week his Counter Report detailing, at great
length, the Considerations upon which his
own conduct in the proceedings of the
Committee has been governed, and the
conclusions TO which they have brought
his mind in relation to this subject" This
report occupies seventeen closely printed
columns of the National IntelIgencer. Mr..
Adams commences by stating his objections
10 the latitude OF investigation assumed by
! the committee, and then enters into review
OF the cases brought forward in the report
oil the majority as matter OF censure We
have at present only room TO make the an
neXed extracts, in which Mr.. a. gives his
reasons in favor OF renewal Of the charter
! of the Bank:
The subscriber has long entertained the
opinion that the existence ola National bank
| is indissolubly connected with the continu-
ance ofOur National Union. The fiscal opera
tons Of the Government in ell IFS branches,
| he believes, cannot, without the aid of such
an institution, be conducted, he will not say
well, but at all He does not say that the
present Bank of the u. States is indispensa-
| bic, and his mind has sometimes hesit ted
upon the question, whether, ut the expira-
ton OF the present Charter of the Bank, the
establishment oi another, though similar in
stitution, might not be more eXpedent than
the renewal Of the Charter. Inclining rath-
or to the latter Of these measures before the
institution of this inquiry, he has been very
strongly confirmed in opinion by tie
result Of the investigation in which he has
shared"
m considering the numerous and impor-
tant public services, and the large contribu-
tons Of the present Bank to the Government
and People Of the United States, he thinks
the least return which they are Justly author
ized to expect from the equity Of the nation,
IS the renewal of their charter. The bene-
fits and profits Of tho Bank havo been enjoy
ed by the nation far beyond those shared by
the individual stockholders Besides the
bonus Of million and halt ofdollars paid
10 the public treasury for the charter-be-
sides the saving the expense ofloan Offices
for The payment ofthe public debt, principal
and interest-besides the obligation of trans.
ferring the Government funds 10 and from
every part Of the Union, as the public ext
gencIes require-the nation has held onehltI
part Of the stock from the commencement ol
the institution to this time, without payment
