vegetable remedies known and used BY the

where he will select, compound, and prepare
at his Botanic Pharmacy, medicines exactly t.

Mr.. BIppLE's PRINCIPLES OF BANK
ING. The following sound doctrines are
explained by Mr.. Biddle, in letter written
by him 1928.
"The law of mixed currency Of coin
and paper is, that when, from snperabun-
dance Of the mixed mass, so much of the
coin part leaves the country, the re-
mainder must be preserved by diminishing
the paper part, so as to make the mixed
mass more valuable in proportion. 1t is
the capacity ofdiminishing the paper which
protect it. Its value consists in lis elastlci-
ty-its power of alternate expansion and
contraction to suit the taste of the commu-
nifty; and when it loses its hexibillty, it no
longer contains within itself the means of
its own defence, and is full of hazard.
In truth, the merit Of a bank is nearly in
proportion to the degree of this fleXibiIity
OF its means. fla bank lends its mony on
mortgages, on stocks, for long terms, and
this great risk; that, on the one hand, its
notes are payable on demand, while on the
other, its debts cannot be called in withon;
great delay-a delay fatal to its credit and
character This is the general error OF anks
who do not always discriminate between
two things especially distinct in banking,
debt ultimately secure, and debt certain
ly payable But well managed bank has
its fund mainly in short loans to persons in
buisiness-the result Of business transac-
tions-payable on a day named, which
the parties are able to pay, and will pay at
any sacrifice, in order to escape mercan-
tile dishonor. Such bank has its funds,
therefore, constantly repaid into it, aud is
able to say whether it will or will not
lend them out again"
Like the power of steam. if the credit
system is eminently useful in prudent
hands, but of tremendous hazard when not
controlled : and the practical wisdom in
managing it, lies in seeing the proper no
ment to expand and contract it; taking care,
in working with such explosive material,
whenever there is doubt, to incline the side
of safety"

MISCELLANEOUS.

Reoard Of Crime Late English papers
give detailed accounts of the elopement OF
Mrs Bishop, a celebrated vocalist, from
her husband, with Bochsa, the harplst.-
The guilty woman's letter to her husband
on the occasion, denied any criminal IL
tent, and avowed that she took the step on
account of Bochsa's influence III the mus
ical world, and as a means OF her secur-
ing larger rewards for her family, than II
she remained with her husband. The
subterfuge did not deceive the members OF
the family, and great distress was the con-
sequence. The wretched woman has met
her fate, however, as regards her proits-
sion,-the criminal pair have been denied
a hearing in any way, in Hamburg,-they
are forbidden to enter Russia ,-Bochsa a
dare not enter France, and there seems
scarcely any refuge for them. In the mean
time sympathy has been aroused IN favor
of the deserted husband, in England, and
a grand concert was to be got up to testify
public respect for him, and abhorance of
the fugative. Thus has she destroyed the
honor, prosperity, admiration, and domes-
tic respect, which she enjoyed in peculiar
degree, and plunged into an abyss of mis-
cry and horror from which there in no re-
