The U. 5. ship Ohio, of "a guns, from
New York, arrived at Boston on Wednes.
day. She is 10 be taken into the Dry Docl,
at Charlestown, for the purpose Of cIamin-
ing her bottom.
The following interesting remiuscence
respecting this ship is copied from the New
York American.
1.-The Ohio was bsilt by the late Henry
Ecktord, of this city, in 1870, and is ac.
knowlcd ged by all to be one of the mos
perfect models that ever floated. Several
attempts were made to interfere with her
construction while on the stocks, but Mr.
Eckford firmly resisted, saying, 'If | build
the ship at all, it must be on my own plan
and ] am willing to risk my professional
reputation on the result This result is
that she is decidedly the finest looking line.
of-batlle ship IN our navy, and from the
beauty of her model, we hazard little in ad-
vancing the opinion that her qualities at ses
will, IN every respect, equal her appearance
Great praise is due to Commodore Ridgelcy
and the officers Of the Navy Yard, for the
superior manner in which she has been
fitted out. la her rigging, neatness and
strength seem carefully combined, and in
her internal arrangements, every attention
has been paid both to her efficiency as a
ship of war, and TO the comfor, Of the Off
GERS and crew."

is about commencing the last course Of lessons in
penmanship, that he intends to give in this town. at
present. We yesterday. looked over the copy books
of his pupils, and consider them asafiording indis-
pulabe evidence of his ability 10 teach free and
easy style of writing. Many persons, we are a.
ware, may dislike the system which he teaches, be-
cause it does not initiate engraved writing. but they
oughtto bear in mind thattis impossible to write in
that style quickly & that the main object of writing
is fully accomplished, ifu is legble; and, there
fore, that system is the best which combines that
requisite with the greatest CELEBRITY; this we think
Mr.. Fosters system does in an eminent degree and
therefore we recommend him as teacher

RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYMENTs.-The
first step TO attain this desirable eud, it ap-
pears from the following announcement in
the NewYork Herald of Saturday, has been
taken.
The Rhode-Island Republican. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1809-1841, 1837-10-25

the NewYork Herald of Saturday, has been
taken.
FRIDAY, Der. 30, 6, pm.
We have at last the pleasure to announce
TO the public that the banks Of this city have
made up their minds to hold Convention
for the resumption of speci. payments, and
that the 7th of Norember, merit month, has
been fired upon for that purpose.
Every monied man will recollect that pre-
vIous to the session of Congress, just termi-
mated, the New ork banks made similar
proposition, which was negatived and repu-
dated by the Philadelphia banks, under the
plea, that the action of Congress was neces-
sary for such step. Large classes of f.
nanciers did not think so, but, 10 money af-
fairs, combined effort is the very soul and
being of every kind Of business, or any re-
furn of permanent confidence.
Since iha; attempt, we have seen a ses-
sion Of Congress, and know the extent of
its action in money matters and currency.
Simultaneous with the issue of Treasury
notes, we have always said, the resumption
&C specie payments could be brought about,
aud confidence restored, provided there was
any degree Of harmony between the rival
money powers. Accordingly, since the adj
joumment of Congress, many private meet
ings have been held among our Iea.ling f.
nanciers, and much consultation held be-
tween the members Of Congress aud the
bankers here.
Messrs. GaIIsiin, NewboId, White, aud
several others, in conjunction with few
bankers from the country. have come TO the
discrimination to make decided movement

shall be paid over to the States entitled
to the same.
