Baaak Report.-We lay before our
 readers to-day, the conclusion of the
 courier report of the minority of the
 committee appointed to examine into
 the condition of the United States Bank.
 We have received the report promised
 from the pen of John Quincy Adams
 alone: it occupies nearly sepentecn col.
 unans of he National Lrtelligencer D,
 snaaH tHpei of course we cannot lay il
 before our readers as promptly as we coud wish, but shall publish it as soon
 as possible. Ten thousand copies were
 printed by order of the House of Repre- Isentatiyes.
 We can only give the following extract
 to-day :-.Natioaaai Banner.
 The subscriber has long entertained the opinion that the existence of a na-
 tional bank is indissolubly connected
 with the continuance of our national
 union. The fiscal operations of the gov ernment in all it's branches, he believes, cannot, without the aid of such an in. lstitution, be conducted, he will not say
 well, but at all, He does not say that the present Bank of the United States I is indispensable, and his mind has some times hesitated upon the question, whether, at the expiration of the pres tent charter of the Bank. the establish ment of another, though similar institu- ton, might not he more expedient than the renewal of the charter. lnelining lrather 10 the latter of these measures before the institution of this inquiry, he has been very strongly confirmed in that opinion by the results of the inves- tigation which he has shared.
 The management of the affairs of the corporation during the administration Eef the present President, not exempt fsrc::::: f. human errer and intirnitv. has yet appeared to him marked with all the characters of sound judgment, of liberal spirit, ofbencvoient feeling, and of ir- reproachabie integrity. A large pro- portion of it's officers in subordinate trust, are of the society of friends; a class of citizens peculiarly qualified for |the performance of duties, and the ex- |ercise of qualities appropriate to the successful management of monied es- establishments, industry, paaetuality, tenn lperance, and conscientious discharge of all moral obligations.

 than all the gainof the tratflc, even II Il were ten times as lucrative as 1t is. For slaves at the coast, being between the ages of twelve and twenty-five, he gave fifty dollars. and sold them for two hun dred and fifty in Brazil.
 Imust now state a remarkable and most interesting fact, which ought 10 be trumpeted throughout Great Britain and America. "A slave vessel was fit ted out some time ago at Baltimore Her nominal captain and owner was a Portuguese, but the real, was citizen of the United States. She was called the Afrieapo; and had q crew Of fifty linen. She arrived on the coast and took in a cargo of slaves. The English cruisers pursued her up and down for some timc.but she outsailed them all.- Atlcngth she was chased of Fernando Pc, and the frigate in chase finding that she could not come up with her, made a signal for q steamboat, which was at i that Island. I lie steam beat was stove nearly 10 pieces, yet victory at length declared in her favor, and the slayer was brought in with four or five hun drcd capiives. These very men, in- stead of being liberated, and restored to their country, were sold again by the English agents into slavery, and the ye- y crew which the young captain whom 1 have before mentioned, carried to Bra gil, was purchased of the base and de- generate captors out of the crew of the American ship Afrcano!
 This is new and dreadful fact. ] have heard before, (though have my doubts ofthe fact,) of a Christian mis- sionary on the coast, selling youths sent to him by the princes of the interior to be educated; but had no idea that such wholesale system of treaehery was established among the officers and agents of the British government. wish Lord Brougbam knew this. think he would make them hum! l have done my duty in making it known to the American and British nations.- have it from such high authority that believe every word oft.
 We have received the above from a respectable source. 1.-the fact stated in regard to the English frigate be true, it cannot be too soon known to the gov ernment of England and the United States.
 HoHand.--The New York Courier and Enquirer says--ssWe have been ia yored with the perusal oficttcrs from eminent housesin Amsterdam, received by this conveyance, which states posi- lively, that the King will not consent to the terms of separation from Belgium laid down by the Great Powers, and that were he to adopt those terms, it would loose him the attachment of his subjects. Such is the determined spir- it now prevailing among the Holland CTS, that they talk of resisting England and France combined, and say, they would prefer to sink in the contest, ra- ther than submit to conditions which they consider would disgrace them.

TENNESSEE SENATOR.

the close of the Odd September, no election
had been made and day fixed upon for making
one. On the 10Th, the Senate adopted a resolu-
ton for proceeding to the election on the 29th
Sept In the House, the resolution met with OPP
position: Several members stated that there a
ton lin favor of Grundy) in their Districts,
and they wished to await the development of
public opinion. Mr.. Turney the 2lst, offered
the following resolution by way of substitute to
that of the Senate:
ResoUed, That it is inconsistent with the mean.
ing Of the Constitution, and inexpedent to 90 into
the election of Senator Congress at the pre-
sent session of the General Assembly.
Mr.. Turuey means that the present is extra
session, called to District the State for Congress
under the Census.l
This resolution was not acted upon at our latest
Nashville dates.
The Hero was TO leave the noighborhood on
the 22d, aud the high pressure of his presence
would he withdrawn 1t is therefore probable tn al
Mr. Turner'S resolution would prevail and Mr.
Grundy by gaining time, and by Intermediate crents

loosely in ordinary way, but in the article o

advance in the value of the Stock of the Bank Of
the U. States, and herein have assurance
not TO he invalidated, that in the opinion of tho
shrewd and sagacious money dealer at the North
Jackson is likely 10 lose his election. Observe the
following:

UNITED STATES BANK.-Two THOUSAND EIGHT
HUNDRED AND rIFTY.roUN Shares of tho Stock of
this 1nstitution, We're sold yesterday at the Stock
Exchange ut an advance of nearly three per cent,
upon the prices of last week! This is the largest
sale which has been made in any one day for many
years and the rapid advance is solely attributable TO
the increased prospects Of the defeat of ANDREW
JACKSON in Pennsylvania ut the approaching Presi-
Dental election, which published yesterday
morning and which was received in Philadelphia
on Monday afternoon. 1t is admitted by all
even by his friends, that the election depends
exclusively upon the contest in Ohio and Pcnnsy-
vania. If either of these States go against tho
man "born to command" lie will lose his election
and who is there that can reasonably doubt the re-
suit in these great States?-Ncw York will give
majority of 10000 against JACKSON and bet of

stock will sell at thirty per cent Advance. The of.

In the Albany Argus (Mr. Van Buren's most
favored organ) of the 25th Sept, appears the fol.
lowing statemcnt:--

through the senate an appropriation OF ONE HUN

or reproof was not raised against them, but on the

THE ELECTION IN PHILADELPHIA

Bishop White, who had not attended an election
for 20 years, appeared at the polls Friday last
and gave in his vote against Jacksonism. The
famous DIR. Ezra Styles Eli, who may almost be
said to have been Confcssor to The Palace at one
time, also gave the same vote, observing ''it was
never too late TO repent"
The Philadelphia Gazette, willis Gaylord

ted 10 Jacksonism, has hauled down that flag and
run up Clay's and Sergeanps. Ritner's election is
confidently expected by his friends. Next Tuesday
is the day If he succeeds, it will be really a "prc-
monitory symptom" The humbug Of Jacksonism
will have terminated, past all doubt, controversy
or speculation. Men of talents, will come into the
Government An efforts will bo directed to heal
the wounds and the dssentions of the country.
The mushroom politicians who have sprung up in
the fcculcnt soil of Jacksonism, will subsde into ma

Will trown down agitators and political spectators
