Should the inter- yention of the seconds be without success, a second round is to be fired with the other brace of pistols; the same words being given, but by the other second. If blow should have passed, which hardly can be supposed between officers, the second of the party who struck the blow must con- tend that his principal shall be fired at so long as the apology is made by the offend ing party. The evading the operation of the civil law, in fatal cases, must be left en- tirely to the judgment of the parties con- cerned; but in the event of the duel being fatal to either party, it is the first duty of the seconds to proceed immediately together, and make written note of the proceedings of the whole transaction, which should be signed by both of them, each having CO., py.-Umted ,Se7vice Jour.

They are immediately to put themselves in communication with each other, and from that moment are not to have any direct par lance with each others principal. The principals are in the hands of their seconds. The seconds are to appoint the place and time of meeting, which must be subject to no change after the principals are informed of them, unless the seconds think proper to alter either to prevent interruption. So soon as the time and place shall be appoint ed, the seconds will select the spot, taking notice that there shall be as little advantage as possible on either side in the position of the ground, twelve paces- making the ex- tremities. The seconds will toss up for ends, and the principals will be placed ac- cordingly. The pistols having been loaded by the seconds in presence of each other, the braee will be separately given by them to their principals. The principals will stand right hand, each with the pistol cock ed; this being done, the seconds will move wide off the centre, where, on arriving, they will stand together.

Rumors of rather an unpleasant nature, have
reached this city respecting the condition Of the
money market in Philadelphia. The local banks
find it difficult to pay the balances due the Bank
of the United States. And even one of the new
favorites Of "the Government"-nOtwithst
ing that it has been constituted one Of the keep
ers of the public treasure, found il announcement
to pay its debts day or two since, and the 20.
vernment itself was obliged to step forward to its
relief The circumstances were these: The
Girard Bank owed the U. s. Bank balance of
two hundred thousand dollars, for which pay.
ment was requested. The Girard Bank prayed
for delay. but the U. s. Bank thought the debt
had been long enough due, and declined the re.
quest In this dilemma, not being able to meet
its engagements, the local Bank had recourse to
a draft from the Treasury Department, Of 500,
600 dollars-which il seems had been prepared
and procured for the emergency.-of course leav-
ing a balance in its own favor Of three hundred
thousand dolars-Which the Mother Bank paid.
The fact here to be noted is this: By an illegal
removal Of the deposltes, "the government" al
ready finds itself compelled to resort to another
illegal act to sustain the credit of its new depos.

Hon. James Barbom.-An interesting Me.
moir of the Life Of this distinguished virginian,
may be found in the Alexandra Gazette, of the
9th inst. The article is chastely and forcibly
written, and is Characterised throughout by a
strict regard to facts, and to the life and charac-
ter of Mr.. Barbour. 1t has been our fortune to
stand opposed to Mr.. Barbour. He had select
ed one citizen as his choice for the Presidency
we smother. He was honest in his Preference
and so were we in ours. These were in times,
however, when such difference was permitted
and when the spirit Of the Constitution. and Of
Liberty, allowed citizens to differ, and yet not
hate one aoother. Hence we were never else
than friends. There has been no alteration, at
least, by statute either in the Constitution, or in
those legible lines which characterize Liberty
but only in mems practise under them.
We subscribe to all that the Memoir sets forth
in honor Of Mr.. Barbour. He is, indeed. an or.
nament to the County, and an honor to his spe.
Ties. 1t may be asked, what have we to do with
Mr.. BARBOUR 1t 10 for the purpose Of remark.
