BEAUTIES OF THE BANKING SYSTEM.

This 10 certainly, far as banks and other money
ed institutions are concerned, the age Of rascdity
We can scarcely open newspaper without finding
ourselves startled with paragraph headed" Another
defaulier, or more fruits Of finance" "gone to
ton. In TRUTH We have been so accustomed of late
to meet with such daily evidences Of the Dishonesty
Of men placed within the limits of temptation that we
Involuntary entertain feeling Of disappointment
when peruse journal that does not contain some
novel instance of that character.
Thinking of these things, came across the other
day in exchange paper the following list of ROB
berries all of which have graced the annals OF bank
ing 10 our country within the past year.
We will commence with the rotten United States
Bank, which, through robbrry corruption, and mis-
management, has brought ruin and distress upon
countless thousands, having lost its entire capital
of $35, 100000

Inquiry was soon set foot, and it found that
the book-keeper Of the frm Maurice Pitcher, alb
sent nor was any able TO account for his absence
1t does not appear that any of the brokers Of this
city changed the money the rascal, therefore, it Is
probable has all his ill gotten cash in bank notes.
There seems now TO be no doubt that Mr.. Pitcher
was the author of the mischief, as the checks were
regularly numbered, and We're drawn many
banks in which Messs. E. s. M kept accounts, prov
ing that some who knew the business of the house
was concerned. We may therefore do piece of jus
tice, aid IN it, by stating that Pitcher about
nineteen years old five feet inches in height,
has sandy hair, his face is much pmpled blotched,
and his eyelids considerably infamed he has light
eyes and small nose.
The forged checks were pod on Tuerday, and it
was mentioned to Us that brother of Pitcher left the
city on that day, and is probable that Mr. P. follow

To SAVE SEEDS.

All seeds keep better in their seed YES
sels,. but this can rarely be done, on ac-
count of the great space occupied. As
soon, therefore, as the pods of cabbages,
turneps, radishes, &c. turn brown and a
part become dry, the stems should be cut
and laid on a cloth or floor to dry, alter
wards thrashed out, and hung up in bags
in some open airy place. Lettuce should
be pulled up with the roots, as soon as
there is the least appearance of maturity,
and hung up, and the plants will rIpeh all
of their seeds, nearly al the same tl'iie:- ::

A SAND STORM AT CAwNpoRE.

No sooner had the hot winds complete
ly sit in, than we had a splendid genu-
inc Northwestern in full force. These
tufans, as they are here called knew no
half measures; on they come, wrapping
the whole face Of the cuntry in darkness,
and spreading alarm and destruction far
and near. On this, the first occasion of
our witnessing the visitation, our attention
was drawn to it by the appearance of
mountains of sand, which occupied nearly
one third of the horizon; for while they
seemed stationary, although in fact, they
were advancingw with tremendous pidity;
the edges reflected the rays ofthe declin-
ing sun, and exhibited every variety of
tnge: We gazedon in astonishment, nor
could we easily believe that what we saw
was not a range of solid mountains, newly
sprung up at the command of the AImigh-
ty Being, who at the first had created the
world. Soon they evidently drew nearer
and appeared like rolling mass, which
threatened to entomb US; we fingered as
long as we dared. the phenomenon was
new to us, and we were scarcely aware of
its power. The doors and windows of
the bungalow had already been secured
by the servants, one only being held open
in readiness for our ingress; The storm
approached: and we ran for shelter into
the house; at that moment recollected
that tame but imprisoned jackall, with
which often amused myself, was exposed
to the violence of the storm, and unable to
escape, l fastened to secure it, but had
well nigh fallen victim to my inexper-
ience; the tempest had well nigh reached
the compound, when l was literally pulled
into the house and in an instant, we
were in total darkness; and the monstrous
cloud was passing over, and around us,
driven onby an irresistible wind, which
sounded like continued peal Of thunder.
1t was truly awful! Nota creature STIR
red within the house, the Ayah was seat
ed on the ground; with our infant on her
lap, whilst clung to the arm Of my hus-
band; had the last dread dav arrived, my
bewilderment could scarcely have been
greater az;
The total darkness lasted on this occa-
tsion for about five minutes; the blackness
then changed to a sand yellow which
