CHRIsTMAs.--1'he Episcopal Church
es in this place will be open for divine
service this morning, at the usual hour,
in conformity to established usage Of tha,
denomination, to commemorate the ami
versary Of the nativity of the SAVIOUR OF
mankind. Collections will be taken up
in both Churches, to be appropriated to
purposes of charity. The venerable
Bishop GRIswoLD is expected to preach
in Trinity Church in the morning, and in
Zion Church in the evening
"It has often been asked" (says the
Salem Observer,) and we think with
great ProPrety] "why the anniversary of
an event which brought glad idings ot
great joy TO all mankind, is not more gen.
orally and signally noticed by all sects
Of Christians. All acknowledge the vast
importance Of the event which brought
the SAVIOUR Of Men upon the earth with
life, light and the knowledge Of immor-
tally and salvation and though there
has ever been, and probably, long will
be varying shades Of opinion on some
points regarding the Divine Mission, yet
all Christians should unite in hailing the
anniversary of the period as one means
of keeping in living remembrance the i'm
measurable benefits bestowed upon the
world.
We believe that more general OBJ
servance of the Day is gaining ground
and we are prepared to see, on the ap-
Proa ching occasion, less of secular busi-
ness, and more of religious JOY and wor-
ship among all ranks and sects."

I Southern Viers of French War.--
:, The following is an extract from the re-
marks ofa Correspondent the Charles
ton Mercury, at Washington, on that
part of the Presidents Message which
relates to the French Treaty.
"This then is the policy of the Presi-
dent--a system of reprisals--seizing the
property Of French citizens or sub bjects,
until as much shall have been captured
as may equal the extent Of our cIaims--
and this the President says is a Just
cause Of war, and ought not even to be
regarded rs II menace lie recon-
mends a procedure, substantially tanta-
mount to war itself, and then seems to
be perfectly persuaded that the French
Government will make no difficulty on
the subject : but that tho very nation
which has so long refused and still posi-
lively refuses to pay our claims, will
quickly permit us to pay ourselves, by
taking French property wherever we
can catch it, without raising an arm or
opening mouth against US. But if,
contrary to his reasonable expectations,
France should be SO unjust and SO un-
wise as to make our system Of reprisals
upon her the cause of hostilities against
us--what then |! Why then, "she would
add violence to injustice, and draw down
upon herself the censure Of the world,
and the retributive judgments Of liea-
ven"--and this Of course would abun-
dainty satisfy the good people of the U.
States for all the calamities in which
they may be involved by n war with
France But hear you making the
inquiry, how will all this end ? What is
the disposition of Congress in relation to
this subject Will the Presidents view
be carried out, and acts of reprisal pass
ed !? Without pretending to any thing
like accurate information OH the subject,
and certainly having no authority to
speak for any party, | still think may
venture unhcsl,afingly to answer, they
will not. The Executive recommended
ton, as matter of course, will probably
be sustained by the administration party,
but they cannot carry it, without the CO.
operation Of either the Wing or the State
Rights Parties. The Wings will not 90
for it, because they regard it generally
as mere party movement, designed to
divert public attention from the abuses
and corruptions of the government, and
20 aid Van Buren's prospects for tho
Presidepcy--and as for the State Rights
Party, what has the South to gain by
war with France? =? A war would neces-
'arlly create very heavy additional tax
alton, and increased expenditure. The
burden Of the first would fall upon the
sonlh--the benefits of the latter would

REPORT ON THE BANK.

h 1he Committee OF FINANCE, 1t VIII be
remembered, were instructed to sit dur
ing the recess for the purpose of examin-
ing into the condition OF the Bank. For
this purpose they repaired to Philadel-
phia on the 18th of September, and pro-
ceeded forthwith to perform the duty with
which they were charged. In pursuit
Of their object, the report says, every ia
clity was afforded to them by the officers
Of the Institution. No hesitation or re-
luctance was manifested to furnish any
book or paper which they wished to ex-
anime. Every avenue Of information
was thrown wide open to them ; and, if
there be any defect or failure in the de-
velopements which the Committee pre-
sent, it must be considered the fault Of
the Committee alone. The inquiries Of
the Committee were not prosecuted back
further than the year 1920, when the
celebrated Report of Committee was
made in the House Of Representatives,
and acted upon by that body. This ac-
tion by the House seemed to preclude
re-investig CATION Of transactions anterior
to that date, and the Committee confined
themselves, therefore, to the allegations
against the management of the Bank
which have been subsequently, made.
The first charge into which the Com
mittee inquired was that of violations Of
the charter, and other abuses in the con-
sttution and functions of the Exchange
Committee. To this charge they felt it
to be the duty Of the Committee to pay
more attention, because it was formally
enrolled in the Report Of the Secretary
Of the Treasury, Mr.. TANEY, among his
reasons for removing the depostes pub
lie moneys from the Bank. Proceeding
thus from high officer Of the Govern
ment, the Committee considered this
charge to demand the fullest inyestiga-'
ton. They examined il according ly,
and took testimony Of the Government
Directors, as well as the Officers of the
Bank, as to the rise, progress, aud ope-
rations of this Committee. In the whole
matter the Committee discovered any
thing but cause for censure Of the govern
ment of the Bank, concluding, on tho
contrary, that the operations oil the Ex-
change Committee have been legal, adj
vantageous TO the Bank, and convenient
to the Public.
The next allegation against tho Bank,
which the Committee examined, was that
of the substitution of Branch Drafts for
the notes Of the Bank; in regard to which
charge also the Committee acquit the
Bank Of all ccnsure.
Herald of the times. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1830-1846, 1834-12-25

/ The next charge which they examine
is that which touches the payment ofthe
three per cent. stock, which, the Commit
tee examined with the greatest care, be-
cause Of its having been solemnly prefer
red by the President Of the United
States, in his published address to his
cabinet on the occasion OF his avowing
his determination to remove the depos-
ties, ns a violation of the Charter, sc .
The Committee were equally unsuc C ess-
full, in this branch of their investigation,
in detecting any violation Of the charter,
or dcrclicton Of duty OH the part Of the
Bank.
The next point investigated by the
Committee was The safety Of the public
money in the Bank, and the general SOL
vency Of the institution. In the course Of
their examination on this point, the Com
mittee make the following statement Of
the actual liabilities and resources Of the
Bank, which, as it may be of use to bo,,,
our mercantile and our political readers,
we have with some care transcribed at

THE TEMPLE OF BELUS.

In the centre of the temple Of Belus, in
the ancient city OF Babylon, stood the
magnificent tower Of Babel, which was
600 feet square at the base. 1t was con-
structed to resemble eight massive towers,
piled one above the other each one being
twenty-five feet high. On the outside
was winding staircase reaching to the
top. Within the different stories were
lofty and beautifully finished apartments,
studded with columns, and rich in arch
itectural design. These were probably
chapels, in which public worship was
offered to Baal. On the very summit Of
the eighth tower, wns an astronomical OBJ
servatory. A golden image, forty feet
high, was kept. in one Of the splendid
halls, whose value was equal to S l5,5OO,
900. The entire value OF the gold, silver
iswels, and other royal property kept in
this sacred edifce, has been computed to
have been equal to S l8o,ooo,0oo.-
Each brick Of the tower, rs well as the
walls ofthe city, bore character. Sew
eral of these are now in Boston, brought
from the supposed site Of tho tower.

SO far in the way Of successful progress,

THE DEPARTURE OF SUMMER.


There is tone in every gale,
Which speuks of blossoms gone
Which seems to pour o lonely wall
Ger hope and beauty flown
The glory ofthe year,
Have lost the light and blooming glow
They kept when Spring was here.
Yes, the pure radiance ofihe sun
On them no more descends
The freshness Of their birth is gone.
Like smiles Of early friends
The blight is on the forest tops.
And on the waving corn
Their richness passed, as fade tho clouds
OF some rich summer Morn.
Thus looking at the golden hours
That passed SO sadly soon,
Like dew from the luxuriant flowers.
That melts before the noon-
l feel how aeeting are the joys
That human life can give
How every hope the heart employs
On earth, 10 fugitive.
All save that faith enkinded hope.
From virtues fount that springs,
To lift the undying spirit up,
As on the Eagles wings
A home sublime, immortal, pure
In love to mortals given
Traced in the Word Of Promise sure,
And fixed on God and Heaven,
How soon the dark, sutumnal storm
Ger Summers sheen is borne
The sud tree stands. wasted form.
All wilher'd in its morn.
'Tis thus with life-its dreams are new
And bright-till rolling years
Sweep each young vision from ,hs view.
And dim tho eye with tears.
And still, an ever restless tide,
The stream ftme sweeps on
Within its bosom sink the pride,
And hopes and raptures gone
A troub'lous waste Of moving yenrs.
Beneath whose depths 60 down
The peasant, with his joys and fsars--
The monarch with his crown
The benuteous form--the clinging love,
That thought the world its own
And deemed no earthly power could move
Its hold from that alone -
These, with their charms, are rem, apart
And in the sullen wave,
That hides the past from every heart.
Ambition finds grave.
Oh, Life how vain thing or. thou,
If in thy little span
The spirit feels no heavenward glow.
Above the world Of man
A waste thou art--where storm and gloom
With light and joy contend;
Where sickness steals Der youthful bloom,
And friend departs from friend

If this is true, and If this water-thus
1ialy evaporated- were put up In

each Wagon, and each Wagon, were to
occupy two rods Of road, the line would bo
