! Sla-Your two communications under the date
O! the h inst have been received. The course
pursued by he bank over which you preside in de-
tcrmlnng to withhold portion Of the dividends due
on the stock of the United States has excited much
surprise in this department, and at the present
time. is more to be regretted Congress, is not
IN session to provide for the deficiency thus caused
in the estimated revenue from bank stock the PIE
sent year.
The claim for damages the bill Of exchange
drawn upon France, to answer which II Is stated
that payment Of part Of the dividends Is now
refused, was disallowcd by this department before
the two last dividends passed TO the credit oil
the treasury and some months before the recent
session of Congress commenced Consequently y
was presumed that the claim IT not nbanu"hco
would b. presented and pursued before that body
in the manner usual with claims against the UNI
ted States when tho latter has no. instituted any
: action n, law against the claimant
Besides these considerations, could not nave ocet

to comparison between it and the preced-

effected in its embellishments; particularly
in the department OF the costume offashions,
which have been executed by KELLY; an
artist who, in the establishment which &C
companies this number, has literally excel
led himself; rendering the prints of Fash
ions of the LADY'S BOOK sufficiently ex-
cellent to compete with the best executed in
London, and to surpass those of Paris
Hence, the public will perceive that the
hopes of progressive improvement, which
the proprietors of the LADY'S BOOK have
to their patrons have been fully
realized.
