It is no longer matter of conjecture as 10 the in- evitable tendency of our Banking system, under isng laws and regulations. The fact is officially nounced by the President ofthe Branch here that al though there has been profit on the business of the last year of 22 l39 59 yet after paying loss up State bonds sold, and appropriations made by the Legislature, there remains deficit ofprofts to meet these appropriations If $26 ,4S3 56 Had the Bank been called by valueless l6th sections to pay her full quota of S200, ,000 given them annually by ihc e gislaure, the deficit would have been S57 ,Sl6 IT, This Bank, we believe, admitted to be in the best condition of any of our State Banks, and will question the ability with which it has been managed. lf therefore, the actual loss for the past year her business has been sf26, ,483 56-and but for the pru dent and judicous regulations adopted by the hoard, under which payments to yaueess sixteenth sections made, that loss might have been Ss57,Sl6 IT, are we not warranted in the conclusion that our pre- dicons heretofore published, estimating the poba- ole loss sustained by all the banks for the year - ing the 30th ult. may now be looked upon, not as probable contingencies, but facts longer delate able. half million, we yery believe, will not Coz the deficit. Is t not time then for the people, the far payerS, t1 wake up, shake of the ethargy which to have ulled them into their present imaginary security, and energetcally and prompt ly, on this al a-absorbing subject. The faith of the sttes solemny pledged ,may be sufficient guarantee of safety the foreign creditor; but the people of inc state who must redeem that pledge, at any and every sacrifice ofpropery, it furnishes consolation, no pTOectioh rom tue impending ruif we cal up- on those who have deep and weighty interest in this matter, to read carefully the communication of the President of the Branch Bank In this place, pub
 shed in last, together with the acoonlpanyi ing statements of the cashier. They furnish such an 'expose" as has not heretofore been laid before the public, ant with the integrity of faithful sentlnels, they give warning of the approaching storm.
 The minuest proceedings of the Board are deta- ell, and far their action has depended upon their judgment only, if is sustained by array of facts and circumstances which cannot fail to convince the sceptca, that the best interests of the nsttu- ti,D have been their only aim and sole object. The views of the President n relation the salaries of the Officers of the Bank, will receive the calm and mature consideration of the people and the Legisla. ture in session. We are advocates for extrav. agant salaries; but it does appear to us, situated our banks are, that economy and the dictates of prudence require that such salaries should be allowed, would secure the abesl nancal talents of the State, especially for the high and responsible officers, who mainly control and give direction to the business op- erations of the several Dem- ocrat

By tho latest accounts from Nashville, we learn
 that no United States Senator had been chosen b, the legislature of Tennessee. The unmany and in-
 solent coanct of Mir. Foster towards the democratic
 members of the Senate, has SO exasperated them, that we think there s probability of osertures of compromise c6ining from that quarter.
 The whigs, as natural consequence ,are in dread fuI fury, and insist that as they have majority of thrssin the House, while their opponents have only majority one in the Senate, their right in the choice of United States Senators ought be three times as great as that of the Senate. The Senate claim that although they but third in numher, they represent the same people, and are entitled to the same right in choosing those Senators as the Housess q t
 In addition, the whigs assert that ther body being the mos popolar one, it more immediately represents tbewll of the people. To this, the democrats re- ply, that the members of the House elected di- recty by the people that they equally represent the popular sentiment and that the one has as much right as the other tothe privilege of choosing Uni ted States Senators. slssn @a,nr -a7sAa
 t11t the contest (says the Nashville Union) the House appeals b precedent, whilst the Senate appeals to the constifutjon. ft is worthy of remark that we have here represented of the standing points of difference between the republican and federal par ties in all past time. The fgmer piBping their faith to the constitution-the latter casting away eonsc saes and constiiution. and blndy following prsce- dents."s t.il,.
 How they can manage to get out of thus snarl, without some of the members voting with their spf- ponsnts. is a knot which Alexander himself could hardly ualoose; but it seems to us. that the violation of all courtesy and deeoum due to his opponents by the federal candidate, gives tbs advantage to the dcmocrsts.
 Rather than the State should Do without Senator, duty may equally require beth parties to relax, but

-- there is rule know ol that renders necessary for the democrats to support man who by his yio lent conduct has shown himself to be unworthy of their support. We hope, therefore, that until the opposition candidate mend his manners, he ma, he left at home, with abundant leisure to study the code of gentemanly prnpriety.
 There is great deal If time spent in debating this question, and very excellent speeches have been made by the democratic members From one of them by Mr. Maclin, of Shelby, we sake the fol- lowing extract:
 "rhe Congress of the United States meets before the time fixed for ths law to go into operation, and we called upon now sir, to elect two individuals who will be required to vote for or against the re- peal of this vital and a-peryadng measure, the bankrupt bil.) Can there be any inprOpriety m asking before the country those individuals who press theT claims upon us, what course they will take up- on this measurel Can there be any trick or conri- vance as has been aileged) in such cal Is il possible for there to be any want of respect maniiest- ed hy respectful and eeremonOus call made by a majority of the Senatorial branch of the government I cannot but regard such have been ten- dered by Senatorial candidate as being eyasive, unsatisfactory and insufficient to satisfy those who wish act in good faith to the great body of the peo | p[e If the candidate be in favor of measure which the people condemn, then neither he hrs friends I should wish him to msrepresent the will and wishes of the people. If the candidate be opposed to g which his party advocates, there IS but one course for an honest and patriotic man to pursue to retire private ife to speak out for his coun try, repudiate party trammels and place himself up | on the broad principle of individual responsibility But, sir, ask honorable members what pausab' excuse they give their constituents for individual who fold themselves up in profound and myseriou silence in relation great questions of public polio upon which the country IS diyded7

From Miss Sedgwicks Journal. Fdshiond6ie SingIe Women.-A feature that in so-
 ciefy mus, be striking to Americans, is the great
 number of single women With us, you know, few women live beyond their minority unmated, and those
 few sink into the obscurity of some friendly fresde
 But here they have independendent existence, ,pur
 suit and influence, and they much happier for it.
 mind, II do not say happier than fortunate wives and
 good mothers, but than those who, not having drawn
 husband in the lottery of life resign themselves
 mere passive existence, English women, married
 and single, have leisure, and far opportu- nty for intellectual. cultivation, than with us. The objects of art every side of them, exciting
 their minds through their sensations and filling them with beauty. There is with us, far more necessity,
 and, of course, opportunity for the development of woman's faculties for domestic life than here; but
 this, think, is counterbalanced by woman's neces-
 sary independence of the other sex here. On the
 whole 1t to that there is not a more loyea-
 bie woman than the American matron, steadfast in
 her conjuga duties, devoted to the progress of her children and the happiness of the household,
 more powerful creature than the English woman in
 the full strength and development ol her character
 Now, my dear C., word as to the dress of the
 women kind of your family. l do not comprehend what our English friends, who among us, mean by their comments. on the extravaganza of dress in America have seen more velvet and costly lace in one hour in Kenslagton Gsrdens than ever l saw in New York; and it would take all the diamonds in the United States to dress duchess for an evening at L-- House. You may say that lace and dia, monds are transmitted luxuries, heir looins-a spe- cies of inheritance we know little about--stl, you must take into account the immense excess of their wealth over ours, before you have idea of the disparity between.us.

 SOMETHING NEw.-The only argument we have hitherto account for whig defeats is, that the party staid at home. See tie National Integencer, s{idomnes genuss Below. However. from the vicks- burg Whig, we have the candid confession that the were-beaten in Mississippi. because they hadn't e. nough votes to beat their antagonists. It says:
 "The whigs of Mississippi though beaten, have thing to reproach themselves with, They made as gallant stand in defence of the honor and character of the state as men could make. Their candidates Aid all that men could do, aud canvassed tine state thoroughly from one end to the other Particularly is this remark applicable to Judge Shattuck and Col Bingham They harangued the people in almost eve ry county. + = 10 tlase gallant champions of our principles, the whigparty owes large debt of gratitude, which it can never repay.

The New York American. in auson 10 the re- cent message of Governor Bagby, says,
 tAfter adyerting to strictly local topics, it takes in hand the banks and discourses concerning them largely. In the money article we gave a con siderable extract from this portion of the message, which nefsr adding only here, that the regard for public faith, emphatically expressed by the Cover nor. is honorable both tohm and the state.'
 The American copies into its money article long extracts from the message, and calls them sound in sentiment and worthy of example. We have seen ia other ~hig papers similar compliments, which in noble contrast with the mean, partizan abuse that has been poured on Governor Bagby by nearly everyone of the whig papers of this state.

 The bill to amend the law relative to the introduc- toh of free negroes into the State, has passed the House, and it was expected would pass the Senate soipetlme this week. It authorses the Mayor of this city to issue his for the apprehension of any negro in the Bay or at the wharf; the sheriff and sity marshafs Jurisdiction is extended to the Bay; and any person g.ing information of the pres ence of Regroes entitelto the pay of the harbor so, all masters of vessels furnish the mayor with list of their crew, passengers, &c.
 The act to amend the law relative to the notes held by the Branch Bank of this city, payable A. Arm stroeg, &c., passed both houses on the 2Oth.
 Nothing de6nidve has been done respecting the bankr.
