of the exercises at the late Examination, and should
have noticed the subject last week. had absence

progress of the pupils was alike creditable to them
selves and the instructress. We were particularly
pleased with the examination of the younger pupils
not that they manifested superiority to others, but
that the mode of instruction and the course of study
seemed peculiarly well adapted to the juvenile intel

them and that they not is sometimes the case

Dear Sir-As many rumors are aiioat rela'
tive to the cause Of the Union Bank declining
to submit to an examination by the Board Of
Commissioners rumors Of a character equal
ly dscredilable to the officers of that nstltu-
ton as injurious to at least onc!oG the Comms-
sioners-I solicit publication of the corresPon-
dence had between the Commissioners and the
Bank.
The law under which the Commissioners act
is specific as to their duty, and no less SPECIFIC
as general law of the land in subjecting the
Union Bank to an examination. The "a sec
tion Of the law entitled 'An act to guard against
the insolvency ofthe Banks &c. reads as fol
lows:
'And be IL further enacted, That all Banks
and Corporations having Banking privileges
that shall hereafter be created under the au-
hority Of this State, shall be subject TO The pro-
visions Of this act.'
The correspondence will put the public in
possession OF all the facts.

THE END OF THE WORLD.

Two or three clergymen have recently put
forth works predicting the arrival of the end
of the world sometime between 1910 and 1850.
TO all such prophecies we have hitherto been
incredulous; but are free to confess that facts
like the following, which we cut from the Bos-
ton Times, are strongly corroborative of the
truth of these predictions. When taors and
printers who work on trnst, begin to be paid the
symptom is indeed alarming

As this<sus grown TO be very common
word recently, the demand for its use prolnl-
ses TO increase every day, perhaps II would DC
proper TO give short definition oil the term,
which all might comprehend--lor IT is not eve
ry plain man that knows the real meaning
and it would be vain TO search IN some oiciion-
aries for the Specification that is attached 10 II
in common parlance. The fact is, that 1t IS a
very genteel, polite word, invented TO express
mean action, for the purpose of imparilng a
sort of equivocal responsibility 10 that winch
is shameful aud vile. People dislike nowadays
to call things by their right names-il looks
vulgar Hence, if an officer pockets lew
hundred dollars ofthe public money, ana runs
away, the fashion is to apply TO nm the m'id
charges liberalization. They don't say me IS
robber of the state; he has stolen the peoples
money" Such epithets would convey an IDEA
of vulgar crimnality, that would not attach 10
the elegant villains bred up under the sub-trea-
sury system, All these awkward, ugly express
sions are at once avoided, by the substitution oil
the stylish, classical wordVVhlch makes the
subject ofthis article. Webster in hisl late die
liondry, defines delaIca ion to be "deduction,
This dodN not, however, exactly
come up to the popular meaning OF the present
day. TO be sure, one ofthe consequences OF
the act, is deduction or dmunition oil the
public money; but the SANG may be said OF
any disbursement made by authority OF law,
in which there is no blame nor culpability.-
Other dictionaries might be opened with results
equally unsatisfactory, so that, after all, we
are obliged to resort elsewhere for information.
In popular use, it means the failure of an Off.
Ger TO account for public money entrusted to
his care. But the best definition going, is one
that may be cleaned from The vaedic;ory letter
ofthe Dstricl Attorney, Price, to the President,
which might be styled settlement Of his dc-
counts BIZ a Sub-treaSurer. Whether this be the
true definition in all cases, there may be some
doubt, but it is certainly capable of extensive

feel it to be their duty to exercise the superin-

competent with yourselves to perform the duty,
and would be free from the influence Of any
disqualifying bias, growing out Of preconceiv-

prehend might not be the case with yourselves
in prosecuting an examination of the condition

NEW ORLEANS,

New ORLEANS, Dec. IS.
DEAR SIR: The schooner Sarah Ann arrived
this morning in days from Tanpico, bringing
news of an engagement between the Mexican
Government Troops, under command of Gen
erals Cos, Pedro, Candle and Canalsso, anC
the Federal or Reform Forces commanded by
Gen. Urea, in which the former were totally
defeated with a loss OF 50okied and wounded
This battle was fought near Tampico, on the
30th ult
Gen. Pedro vas taken prisoner, and on the
evening Of the 9Th inst, was shot, it is said in at
tempting to escape, The Government army
had retreated TO distance of 25 miles from
Fampco, and there awaited reinlorccments
from the city Of Mexico.
Intelligence was received on the 9th inst al
Tampco, that the Mexican Government had
sent to Vera Cruz decided rejection Of all
the articles of capiuation with the French
Admiral, and that they had determined to enter
into no treaty with the French Government,
and refused to give them satisfaction. So we
may expect an immediate resumption of the
blockade, and news of further hostile opera
tons by the French forces.
