Dirorce of the Banks from Lle Govern

reading Of the bill enabling the government
TO manage its fiscal affairs without the use
of banks, the Hon. G. G. Clay Of Alabama
concluded the discussion on the part of the
friends of the measure with some excellent
and iudicious views, and was followed by
Mr.. Southland of New Jersey. The vote
was TAX en-, and stood for the bill TWENTY

Georgia, and Mr.. Mouion of Louisiana,

by legislation, there is good ground to hope

Dear sir--I have now the painful duty of
informing YOU of the total loss of the steam
packet Home, and the lives of most of tho
passengers and crew, III Cy
: There can be very little saved from the
wreck. We had heavy gale of wind af-'
Ter leaving New-York, from NJ T.. The
boat sprang leak little to the northward
of Hatteras, At first we were able to
pump the water out as fast as it came in
but the leak soon increased so lhas it gained
very fast on us. We scu;tled the cabin
doors, and all hands, with the passengers,
gentleman and lad.cs) commenced bailing
with buckets, kettles &C., but the water
soon came up to the furnace, and put the.
fires out and we were obliged to run under
sails only. -
By the time we came to the shore, the
water was over the cabin floors we ran
her on, but owing to her having so much
water in, she stopped in the outer breakers.
The first sea that came after she struck,
stove the weather quarter boat, and all the
houses on deck were stove in and in twen-
~ minutes after she strucb, she went all to
pieces and suppose about eighty souls
we're drowned. Both mates, all three OF
the engineers, and James B. Allaire, are
lost. Most Of the passengers saved have
| l. II. oil thas. i "a
every thing-have nothing but one pair OF
pantaloons and shirt, that had on when
| was washed ashore. In haste.

The following particulars of the loss of
the "Home," were furnished to the Fay

passengers I'D ~
"At IL o'clock at night the Home grom-
ded, about 100 yards from the Shore The
ladies had all been requested to 60 forward,
as the place where they were more likely
to reach the shore, being nearest tho
beach but heavy sea struck her there,
and swept nearly one half of them into the
sea, and they were drowned. One boat
was stove in at this time. Another small one
was launched, with two or three persons in
it, but capsized- The long boat was then
put overheard, filled with persons, % in
number, it is supposed, but did not get Is
feet from the side ofihe steamer before she
upset, and it is believed that not one of the
individuals in her ever reached the shore.
One lady with child in her arms, was III
the act Of mounting the stairs to the upper
deck, when the smoke stock fell, and doubt
less killed her and her child on the spot
Some few of the ladies were dashed to the
boat. Mr.. Lovegrecn was on the upper
deck, and to.led the bell of the boat until al.
most every one had left, when he sprang
y off and swan ashore. The boat had ell.
a ,ircly disappeared, all her wood work hav-
ing floated off, and her machinery imbed-
ded in the sand. Most of the passengers
remained on the beach all night. Some
six or seven, however, found their way to
the Light House, several miles off; among
them two or three of the crew, entirely di
vested Of their clothihg."

ANECDO FEs OF REy. JAMES HERvY

While once travelling, Mr.. fierFy met
with lady who largely expatated on the
anusemcnts of the stage, as being IN her
opinion superior 10 all other pleasures. She
remarked that there was the pleasure OF
thinking on the play before she went, the
pleasure she enjoyed while there, and the
pleasure of rejecting on it Afterwards
kIr. Hervey, who had heard her remarks
without interruption, now said, with his usu'
al nidness there was one pleasure more
which she had forgotten. "What can that
be- she eagerly asked for she thought she
mnst have included them oil. With grave
look. and striking manner, Mr.. II. replied
aMadam, the pleasureit will give you on a
death bed" The remark took her by sur.
nriso. but went to the heart. She had no
rsnIy 10 make. The rest Of the journey
was occupied in deep thought. She aban.
don; .;a theatre, and heartily pursued
thass p.@.,ures which can afford satisfaction
on a death bed. ,,
Mr.. Hervey wiring to his friend shortly
before his death. says, "were | to enjoy
Iezekiah's grant, and have fifteen years
,tded to my lie, should be mach more

tioningins your own hearts. Say toyour.
selves in private, Am sure the faul! is
not mine? Have not been thoughtless.
unreasonable, selfish, has y. or bitter If
in the wrong. have made acknowledgment
if it, and am | anx!ons to avoid my error
in future 4? And if in the right, am desl-
Gus to manifest more forbearance to my err
ring partner 2" These are questions that
most of US are shy in putting to ourselves,
but they are precious medicine, and Iftaken
with a dependence on Gods blessing, will
do US great good. 1t will render US more
humble, cautious, and forbearirg II will
increase our affection, add 1t will do much
toward influencing US to bear each others
burdens. Why cannot we always dwell in
affection, and bear each others burdens !
Why shoIj an aggravaton or an angry
feeling ever rise in our bosoms ? 1t is be.
cause we have an enemy in the camp,a de
ceitful heart in our bosoms influencing US to
believe that we are always right, and that
others are always iwrong teaching US to
call things by wrong names, and persuadng
US that aggravation is merely thoughtless-
ness selfshness nothing more than pru-
dcnce and bitterness Of heart, virluous in.
disnation.
In short, Old Humphreys opiniun is this,
that we arc all 80 bad that God alone can
mend US; and that the only way to dwell in
continual affection, bearing each others
burdens, is to live continually dependent on
God, seeking the influence Of the. Holy
Spirit continually, taking the blessed Cos.
pei Of his beloved Son our Saviour for our
guide, and seeking fcrvently at the throne
ofmercy for those heavenly supplies that
our earthly infrmi'ics require.
Old Humphrey, had his ohjec. been TO
please you. might have spoken more pleas.
an'ly, but he wishes 10 DO you good, even
thong III it be against your will. Let not yoar
affections, then be flower that opens and
shuts in day, but tree whose decp-s'ruck
roots will bear the rocking Of the win'ry
storm. You do not have love one another,
if you wish no. to love each other through
eternity, you will desire through time to
dwell in affection, and 10 bea. each other
burdens.
