SMOKING.

Doctor MscusIy, Of 81 Louis, while

"A young gentleman very much devO'
led to smoking, had paid his addresses
to young lady, whose parents objec-
ted TO their union, merely because he
INDUCED as they thought, too f'eeiy in
the use of tobacco. The young lady,
however, pepo,sessed IN his favor, pre-

They did wrong because Mr., Van Buren had

That we have already addressed a memorial

ever, we purposely omitted any allusion to

subject had been mixed up with party politics.
1t is however, ofsuch paramount importance,
that we dare not be silent respecting it.; and we

the national weltaie requires that all such insti-

LATER FROM EUROPE.

Dates from Liverpool sixteen days later than those
previously received, have reached US since our last
publication. The Steam Ship Caledonia which
left Liverpool on the 9TH utmo, arrived at Boston on
the 18th. The news by this arrival is not of very
great Importance SO far its political character is
concerned. The great question which is agitated at
this moment is the abolition of the corn laws. A
most powerful effort will be made to effect this and
with perhaps better prospect of success, than on
any previous occasion.
The cotton market, contrary TO all expectation,
was dull, and prices had declined from an l-sd 10
lid per pound, though the money market was easy.
The Caledonia brings no news of the President
Steamer which left N. York on the llth of March,
and was out fty-fvc days when the c. lett Liverpool

From the South Carolinian.

COLUMBIA, May 81, 1s4l.
We, to. whom was referred the cores
pondence between Messrs. JAMES CAVITY
and H. ]. PRIDE, have examined the same,
and ale Of opinion that there is nothing
TO prevent an amicable adjustment, entire
ly honorable to both parties: The present
position of the parties appears to us to
have been occasioned by mutual misun-
derstandings, not only before but during
the correspondence.
The difficulty between these gentlemen
seems to be, that Mr.. PRIDE has said that
he employed certain language to MIR. CAN
Ty, previous y 10 an explanation which
Mr.. CAVITY made him; while Mr.. CAVITY
declares that such language was never
used to him. and that he should have con-
sidered it offensive, and as not leaving
him at liberty 10 make an explanation,
until Withdrawn. In consequence, how
ever, of the lapse OF time since the ex-
planaton referred to, and as Mr.. PRIDE
had disclaimed having ever Intentionally
used disparaging language towards MIR.
CAVITY, it is reasonable to suppose that
Mr.. PRIDE would not precisely recollect
words which he did not consider or intend
as offensive to Mr.. CAVITY, and that lam
guage which Mr.. CAVITY did not cons,rue
as offensive. might have passed unnoticed
or been forgotten by him. But as MIR.
PRIDE has been requested by Mr.. CAVITY
to withdraw the language in question: ii
used, we are Of opinion tina. i! would De
in accordance with the candor and high
feeling which chara cterize both gentle
men, that he should do so; and we accor-
dinghy so recommend; and that lhereuPon

THE BANK OF THE UNITED STATES.


second report from the Committee of Stockhol.
ders appointed sometime since to investigate the af
fairs of this institution has just made its appearance
and contains matter sufficient to employ Mr.. BIDDLE
for a month or two to come, in the connection of
another series of letters to the Hon. JOHN M. CLAY.
and place his management of the great regulator in
any thing like an honest light.
There is one fact disclosed in this report which of
itself alone, is sufficient to account to some extent,
for the loose, miserable and soveny manner, to give
it no worse an appellation in which the business of
the institution has been conducted. The board of
Directors consists of twenty members, and among
the whole number elected in January last there were
owned bit one hundred and fifty four shares of the
stock of tho Bank-less than eight shares to each
individual member. Now, it is well known that the
duties of bank director, even in small institution,
able attention. besides trespassng occasionally, large
ly upon his time. In such concern as the Bank Of
the United States, with capital of thirty foe mil
lions Of dollars, how much more arduous and respon-
siblc must these duties be2 And how much more of
the time of man of business must his attention to
these duties occupy? And can it be supposed, for
moment in this money loving age, that men can be
found, having so small pecuniary interest in the
institution as these mon had, who would be as watch
ful and attentive 10 its affairs as if half million or
more of its stock had been owned among them7 AS
general rule, bank to be we'll and safely managed,
its directors should be large stockholders; at all
events if not large stockholders their avocations
should be such as 10 rendor likely that they them
selves would not be large borrowers. No bank can
be safely managed for the community and its stock
holders, where all the interest which the Directors
have in the concern, is the facility which their sua-
tion may afford them in procuring accommodations
for themselves or their friends and this to be
the position of tho Bank of the United States. Can
our readers wonder at the result of its operatonsl
And what adds tcnfold to tho disgrace Of Mr.. BID.
DE- far this extraordinary organization of the
y instrumental in their election, and at the momen,
was the owner of but ONE SHARE himself No doubt
he had his object in view, but what it was is best
known 10 himself-it was not, unquestionably, the
interest of the bank which no consulted the choice
which he made.
As the former report was published in the Journal
we will endeavor to find room for this also, but in
this we may be disappointed, as we shall probably
soon be occupied with the proceedings Of the extra
session.

Dear Sir-The news from Tampa, since
nv last, is, upon the whole, favorabie.-

within the past month, among them Cosa'

predations during the past winter IN the
neighborhood of Mcanopy, cast loom
& over the whole country. This mans re.
moyal is Justly looked upon as an act OF
great importance, and its influence upon
the continuance of hoslitilies on the part
of the Indians, will be felt. Hitherto he

terms, and not until the Arkansas Dele
eatinn had an interview with him, did ne
feel inclined to hold any intercourse with
the whites; now he is on his winding way

have preceded him.
Alluck-tns- te-nuggee, the gentleman SO
handsomely whipped by the gallant AiDur'
tis last winter, has, in view Of that drub'
bing, concluded to emigrate. A delega-
ton from his Majesty, has reached the
General, and announced that he VIII soon
: be in at Tampa to treat. Coacoochee'
wild Gail has been al Fort Pierce with
twenty -four of his band. They obtained
provisions and promised to 60 in soon at
Tampa.
Col Worth has left for the Carloosahat-
chic with one hundred picked men. His
object is to secure Hospatakiee and trust
the gallant Col. will meet with the success
so much wished for. You may perhaps,
reme.ber that the express rider between
Fort Clinch and Tampa was killed few
weeks ago. l, has since been ascertained
tha. this murder was committed by three
of Cosa.tus-te-nuggee's band, who had re-
fused To 90 in with their Chief As soon

should refuse to accede to the Generals
