experienced in the market for several weeks

to hold off little longer. Our receipts are

Mr.. Clay, in his late speccl, says:-"In
the sense which the Senator tMr. Calhoun)
supposcs Banks to conflict with the coming
power, foreign commerce, and especially
our commerce with China, conflict with It
much more extensively. That as the great
absorbent Of the precious metals, i, is thore-
fore, much more unconstitutional than the
State Banks. Foreign commerce sends
them out OF the country; Banks retain them
,uithin it,"
MIR. Clay's inference, that the Banks re-
tain the precious metals within the country,
while foreign commerce is their great ab-
sorbent, is at war with facts. The Banks
by over issues Of paper drive the precious
metals out OF The country. They then be-
come merchandise and constitute a part Of
foreign commerce. The China trade has
occasionally produced demand for these
metals; but that demand has ceased. Why
will not those who occupy distinguished
stations as Legislators. and who are looked
to as guides Of public opinion, be more ac-
curate in their facts?-Charleston Patriot.

MUSICAL ExHIBlrIoS.-We had tho pleasure
Of attending the exhibition of MIR. Rncnn's Mu-
aical Class on Friday evening last. The pcrfor-
nance Of the young ladies', was, i'll the general,
highly creditable to them, and to MIR. B. five
may be permitted, fora moment only, to play the
critic we will say, that as much as we love tha,
retiring modesty for which the truly virtuous and
well-bred female is distinguished, there is such
thing, we think as sometimes touching too gently
the strings Of tile guitar, the keys of the piano,
and injuring a good voice by not singing loud
enough to be heard with any ,distinctness.
The guitar is an instrument well adapted Cor
the display Of the graees, and while we cordially
deprecatc those convulsvc motions Which may
he called the jerks, we like to See young lady
show motion enough to distinguish her from Il
liieless statue.
But let it not be thought that we are displeased
We repeat that they deserve praise, and the
more SO, rs the period of instruction with most
Of them has been very short.
We wish that occasions of this kind would oc-
cur more often among US and the large coupa-
ny which attended the recent exhibition, give an
earnest OF similar desire on the part of the CON-
niunity. We wish Mr.. 3. full success in his
vocation, (for which we know he possesses high
qualifca,ions,) and the young ladies rapid pro-
grcss in that pleasingart which, it has been said,
often speaks to the soul language richer in
meaning than words, and which none can deny
but he who has not heard its sublimest strains,
or has not the capacity to appreciate them.
We are requested TO give public notice that
the Upper Battalion Of the 10th REGIMENT Of
South Carolina Militia, (Col. Hu,et's) will pa.

TEXAS AND ARKANsAs.-A difficulty has
arisen between these States, in relation to
their boundary. Texas claims Miller and
Fayette counties in Arkansas. and has es-
tahlished land Offices there. The majority
Of the people are on the side OF Texas, and
have rcnounced the jurisdiction Of Arkan-
sas. The Governor has submitted the
matter to the Legislature.
