The report that has been published Of

mined by the Board Of Bank Commits
.ooer is as curious as it is satisfactory in
,.,,ionto the sound condition ofthc same;
nd must inspire the public mind with the
roa ubounded confidence in the com
Dse so,vency Of that devoted and much
,bnsed corporation. Should the condition
oflhe balance of the Banks in the State
sppear any thing like as fair, the public
rscd have no apprehension for any habili-
les they may hold against them; and that

have said this report is curious. Ay, ii is

DrsTREssINs.-Al letter from Beau
fort, 5. c., under date of Aug. 20.
published in the Globe, states that a.
mongst the most singular, and at the
same time heart-rending calamItes
that ever occurred, happened in ST. Pc
ter's parish on the evening OF the 18th
inst. A small tree standing within a
short distance of a shooI-house. was
struck by the lightning, which commu.
nlcated 10 the buildings, and ran in a
horizontal direction along one Of the
logs, until 1t reached one corner orthe
building where two little bows were
sitting, both of whom were killed in.
staHtfy-one of the boys had his book
10 his hand at the moment, and after
his spirit had taken its fight to another
world, the hands of the corpse continu-
ed grasping the book, with all the ap-
peafance of animated life. Of 30
scholars, all except four were either
badly shocked or burnt, or both. The
teacher was badly burnt, OF those
who were badly burnt was one boy who
was sitting in the middle of the room.
and between two boys, both Of whom
escaped unhurt, while he was prostra-
ted on the floor.

speaking Of the United States Bank, calls i, the
rat, that eat the malt, tina, lay in the House
that Jack built

made poor show Of its wit in attempting 10 an
ply the cosnomen Of "rat,'' TO the U s. Bank.
The Baak was the ho.ss that Jack built, which
the Treasury rats entered, and stole away the
malt that lay therein, until there was NOT
grain Of the precious stores left behind. which
compelled the good gentlemen who depended
upon them for his food, to look for spste,,n.s :.
another quarter. Before the rats go, into tho
house, there was plenty but the moment they
entered they starved out themselves and every
body else
