nary Surgeon, and made considerable amount of
money by his business. He had his establishment
Tor long time at the corner Of Lumber and Thames
streets He was always celebrated as a notorious,
avowed, and shameless nfidel. He used continually
to annoy those who believed in the beauties and va
ue of true religion, by the brutality and grossness
of his remarks on the Supreme Being, and the re-
vealed word of the Almighty. Among other Of
his remarks, were these He used to say, that If he
was To be born over again, he would give the Al
mighty some advice, and request that he might be
created either fine stallion horse, else very
beautiful woman; for in either event, the horse
jockeys would take great of him. He used
also frequently to make this speech" The great

years longer than God says men ought to live; and

Carver was violent locofoco, and frequently held
forth at Tammany Hail. He was also an intimate
friend of Tom Paine's, who we believe, died at Car
ver's house, somewhere out of town Carver was
stupid enough to marry the mother Of notorious
courtezan, and after that sunk into wretch
cdness and misery As we before stated, all the
latter part Of his life, he depended upon the con-
trbutons of the charitable. He was taken to the
police office short time since, and placed in the
kitchen of the Halls of Justice but his conduct
proane and violent, as to cause the authorities
to discharge him.
Carver, in many respects, was a humane man, and
10 certain extent moral. But he belonged to that
horrid school of nfamy and infdelity that numbers
Often, Fanny Wright, and Benjamin III. Day, for its
supporters and disciples. Coroner's inquest has
sat upon Carver, and Coroners inquest will proba-
by sit upon all the others. For they invariably die
wretched, despised, and neglected by all around
them.
OF feeble intellect, narrew mind, and bitter obsti-
Macy they opposed to all the poetry and beauty
ofrcligion Theyare like the Goths and Vandas ofthe
early ages, who tore down, aad destroyed all the
splendid architecture of the Grecian and Roman CT
ties, and all the ornaments of civilized life. The In
fdel Goths of the present day are opposed to the
bright and beautiful truths of religion, because
they deem il of to society, the Goths con-
sdered all the ornaments and refnements of civil-
cation. They vegetate, eat drink and propagate their
species without religion they live without it, die
without it, go to the devil without it, and Coroners
jury sits upon their miserable remains Such is the
life, DEATH and damnation Of every infdel.

continues and fell per cent cash. and II per cent
lime sat one fell swoop" 1t is now positively
serted that the large sales of the stock made
an account of the w hite family in Baltimore and
New York If this be true, it gives darker feature
IN the whole concern. Messrs. Suiiern, Mcbride,
and Todd owe it To their characters and reputation
Manhattan Bank was one of the leading and para
mount institutions in the country 1t cxercised great
influence on the currency-and its directors owe a
duty to the public well TO the stockholders, to
be more explicit. Where is Jonathan Thompson
Where is the honest man! Where is the unbending
merchant! If MIR. Thompson, or General Paulding,
or Mr. Crosby do explain the affairs of this in
stituion satisfactorily, their characters will
suffer. From the " hites, nothing is eXpectcd-but
the public do expect something from the other di-
rectors. Why do they not apply to the Chancellor
for an injunctionl
Another point, what has become of the holy indig'
nation of the journal of Commerce and Evening

properly too raise a splendid hue and cry about
the United States Bank. Is ths Encouragement OF
