"RcSoircd That the Secretary Of the Treasury be d.

The statements as to the deposte banks arc compiled
from official returns made by them seni-nonthly and
which give all their dealings in drafts and domestic ex
changes, including the amount Of eacl the rates Of each

The results all taken from actual transactions and
evince great uniformity in the rates the accustomed
places OF business and whether these last be distant
near the rates differ but very slightly from those report

Of Representatives.
T. will be that these extensive exchanges and
drafts, by the present deposte banks, eqnang at this
time more than thirtyve millions of dollars, and not
falling Tor several months past below twenty millions of
dollars, are chiefly transacted al par; very few over

without interest for delay, they at than per

The Constitution of n. Carolina contains
the following provision:
"Ifvacancies shall occur, by death, reslg.
nation or otherwise, before the meeting OF the
General Assembly, writs may be issued by the
Governor under such regulations as may be
prescribed by law"
An act passed by the last session OF the
Legislature provides:
THAT IN all vacancies that may hereafter
occur by death, or otherwise, before the meet
inc of the General Assembly and being mott
fled thereof, as aforesaid, it SHALL BE
THE DUTY OF THE GOVERNOR TO
ISSUE A WRIT OF ELECTION to the
Sheriff or Sheriffs, of the county or counties
wherein such vacancy shall have occurred
commanding him or them to hold an elec-
ton, &c.
Now vacancy has occurred in the sena-
torial District composed OF the counties ofPer-
quimons and Pasquotank, by the death ofJesse
Wilson; yet Gov. Spaight refuses to issue
writ of election to supply the vacancy. Gov.
S. is Van Buren, man, and the Senatorial
district is Wing, and what makes the case
more important, the Legislature is so nearly
divided that a single vote may decide the
election ofU. S. Senator in the Legislature
next winter.

Nembern, (IN. c. Oc 21.-The Gale of

vessels on our coast. At and near the bar

usual number of disasters.
Railroad Accident. The locomotive with its
cars on the Newark and New Brunswick
railroad ran over an OK which turned over a
passenger car and killed the engineer,
Further disasters by the late gale.-We have
seen letter dated Portsmouth Roads, N. e..
Oct. l3, which says, that there were ten YES
sells stranded in that vicinity, in the gale of

Three free negroes lately committed a

Attempt at highuay robbery and MURDER
Two farmers of Ohio on their way to the land
office to enter land were attacked on the pub
lie highway on the 7th Oct. by two robbers
who had fallen in with them on the road. One
of the farmers was shot and the other beaten
till he was supposed to be dead. But the rob-
bers were alarmed by the approach of trav-
eller before they got possession of the farmers
money, and escaped.
Another murder and robbery. A man named
VIM. Beaver was murdered for his money in
Cincinnati few weeks since. The murder
ers have been apprehended.
Another Theatre burnt. A new theatre in

The New York Commercial Advertiser IN
an article on the present extraordinary search
tv OF money in that city says;
The fact is, and it cannot be denied. that the
principal reason of distress, is owing to the
Government undertaking to meddlc with the
currency ofthe country. They have derang--
ed it from one end to the other. The goid
humbug with all others, have utterly failed.
The Revenue OF the country has been diverted
from it's legitimate channel. 1t has been &C
cumulated in certain Banks for the benefit OF
the party! Another cause of the distress is,
that certain men have large portion OF thus
immense treasure, while the merchants at
large do not, nor have not participated IN.
This money m,lst be returned, and although
it will cramp these individuals when it Is dis
trbuted, as Congress wisel ly ordered, the mar
ket will be i'll some measure relieved. we,
however, have no expectation ofseelng things
restored to their proper channel, until this ad-
ministration is put out OF power.
The reader is referred to the note OF en-
chances under our commercial head as EVIL
dence of the egregious folly of the present Ma
tional Administration in undertaking to "regu-
late the currency ofthe country.
The election to the Presidency of a man who
was so little ola statesman as Genl. Jackson,
and the continued popularity OF his admins
tration, notwithstanding the constant sue
ccssion ofits gross b!unders, affords a melan-
choly evidence ofthe fitness OF the American
people for self government.

Inclined PloneS-The new Locomotive
Steam Engine, Washington county Farmer
built for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
by Mr.. Norris of this city, was placed
on Columbia Rail Road on Tuesday after
noon.
The power of the engine was ;hen tested IN
ascending the inclined Plane, which was per-
formed to the complete satisfaction of numer-
Gus scientific gentlemen, invited expressly for
the occasion.
The plane is $500 feet long, ascent in that
distance 1876 feet. equal to 369 feet to the mile
or foot rise in l43 TO- Weight of engine

water. two large passenger car and ~
passengers. Time of running, 3 minutes
Is seconds.-pressure in the boiler under
20 ID.
In descending the Plane, the engineer re-
oeatedly came to dead stand from great
speed, and for some minutes played up and
down the grade, thus proving most satlslacto-
rily. the immense power of the engine and the
perfect safety in its performance. The en-,
gine is masterpiece OF machinery and OF
beautiful exterior.
The result here obtained has never been
eoualled bv the best engines in this country or
Europe, excepting only similar performances
of the "George Washington an engine by
the same maker.
The advantage of this great improvement IN
Locomotive Engines, is self-evldent-rallroads
can be constructed at much less cost than
heretofore, now that engines can be procured
(of the usual weight) to perform on grades OF
20 or even 100 feet rise In the mile.
