COMMUNICATED.
AT the first seasonal meeting Of the Franklin
Literary Society OF Randolph Macon College,
information was received Of The death OF one "t
lis members, The Rev CnAs. +. BURNLEY, al his
residence in Charlotte on the 9Th OF December
last, since the adjournment OF that body. We,
the members of that body, feel ourselves ideni-
fed with those TO whom this circumstance is an
occasion OF The deepest regret, inasmuch as the
bonds Of social affection have united and endear-
ed him TO US for years; and although We submit
cheerfully 10 the Divine WILL il is not without re-
greet that one so distinguished Tor those traits OF
character and qualifications OF intellect which
were calculated 10 endear him, n a more than
ordinary manner, TO ourselves and 10 society al
large should have been cut of in The very merl-
dian OF a life rendered useful by the precepls
which his duties, as Minister OF The Gospel, led
him 10 inculcate, and the pure and consistent eS-
emplication Of Them which he made in his own
conduci-these considerations induce us 10 re-
solve
l. That with the deepest regret we received
information of the death OF our beloved friend and
feow-member, the Rev. Charles F. Burnley.
3. That the arden, sympathy Of the F. L. S.
is extended 10 the bereaved relatives and friends
Of The deceased, with whom we feel ourselves
associated in lamenlng misfortune SO uneS-
pected and so painful.
g. That a copy OF these resolutions be pub
lished in The papers OF Richmond and Petersburg,
and that the Committee Of the Society communi.
cate them 10 The relatives Of the deceased.

There seems 10 be unusual anxiety excited
since the election of our talented and musical Re-
preventative, MIR. Daniel, 10 the Executive Coun-
Gil, as 10 who shall be presented TO our worthy
citizens as fit candidate for the place OF City Re
preventative Some consider that it should be oc-
cupied by no other than merchant, others say,
none but a mechanic; and il is tact, that not
less than seven Lawyers have been brought for
ward as all particularly qualified, viz: Mr..
Joseph Mayo, MIR. H. l.. Brooke, Mr.: Mere
dilh, Mr.. Taylor, Mr.. Robert Z: Stanard, go re-
sign in the Senate ii is supposedly MI. Bouldin
and Mr.. Lyons; and no doubt hall dozen more
will be named in few days
think with some, that il is high time that a
merchant should represent US, and, therefore, al
low me to bring forward another name, Mr.
JAMES Scorr. Banking, Messrs. Editors, is now,
BY far, the most important business cone in this
devoted city, and, Mr. Scott being full.bred
Sco,chman, is admirably qualified to promote that
interest. We know it is the most important
thing in lending money, that those only should
be trusted who can use it to most advantage be-
cause then they will more probably return il
again; and it is 4 fact, that Stockholders have
become convinced that this qualification is the
most important to them the State being The largest
holder will, of course, have her interest best pro-
tec,ed BY such selection. The old idea about IA
yoriteism and monopolies has been long, ago ex-
ploded, YOU know. 1t was fully put to the test in
one Of our banks and ever since has been con-
sidered perfectly fallacious notion, that indl-
viduals or professions should be Limited at all.
II begins to be considered difficult TO decide,
where there are as many as twenty candidates
presented Tor the place, and none but Wing can
be qualified to fill it, how the number can be re-
duced so as to present one or two only to the pub.
lic for presume it is out the question, that all
are to be voted for Please, gentlemen, remind
our citizens that such obstacles are nowadays
generally remedied by Conventions" Let
Convention be called to select candidate whose
pec,iiar qualifications are best suited to the taste
and the virtue of our ci,izens-and as the sur
rounding counties, Henrico Hanover, Powhatan,
Caroline, Louisa, and Chesterfield, are so deeply
interested in The faithful representation OF our

Him, in bis dungeon, have scanned,
And tr0d with hnn-how long his stony path,
Worn IN the ruck-pOor victim Of q Tyrant's wrath.
The city next meets the enIaptur'd view
Skfting the margin Of the Rhone;
Those forsed chimnies, mid that smoky blue,
An antique interest round hath thrown;
Calvin and Bezi then known;
What countless strifrs have rent those council hals
How men and women-children rush'd to guard those

The farof Alps now seize The willing soul
Cloud clappd, md their eternal SHOWS.
Like dome Of white, they crown the whole
With old ROmance-how memory Flows.
Spectre and bandit come with these
Undying History, Us she upward tiies,
Calls back The who scaled those hills tina, kiss the

Transparent In her ripping blue;
Here, the Swiss beauty with her lover goes,
Ia barque erotesque, of gaudy hnr
Her glowing charms are full In view

Beyond, the modern steamer ploughs amin
Blue gems around her leap and shines

In the dim distance stands the Simplon tower,
To mark Napoleon's track-his Alpine path to power.
But who is he, tho fisherman, who stands
With neck all bare-hat thrown aside?
