Mr.. Biddie, has transmitted to our Mayor,

ton of $4,000, in aid Of cur suffering citi-
zens. We have not words to express our

Bank ofthe United States, Nays.
Hon. Henry L. Pinckney, Mayor of the city
of Charleston, s. Carolina:
Sir-I am instructed by the Board Of Di-
rectors of the Bank of the United States, to
express to the citizens of Charleston their
very sincere sympathy under the calamity
which has recently befallen that city, and
their anxiety TO do every thing in their power
to mitigate it. Such misfortune, which
even strangers must deplore, cannot fail to
awaken the liveliest interest in every part of
our common country. But this institution
has, during so long series of years, been
intimately connected in all the relations of
business, with the community of Charleston,
and has so many ties of friendly intercourse
and personal regard with its members, that
having witnessed and shared its prosper
ity,.we are proportionably afflicted by this
sudden reverse of its fortunes. The dis
aster, melancholy as it now seems, will
doubtless soon be surmounted and repaired
by thesenergy and the resources of your fell
low citizens-but in the mean time, there
might be much individual suffering, and
much personal privation, which may be al
ieviated by Immediate assistance. For this
purpose, the Board of Directors place the en-
closed contribution at the disposal ofthe city
authorities, who will have the goodness to
employ IT as they may deem most efficient
for the. relief of the sufferers.
With great respect, yours,
N. BIDDLE, President.
