was assured that his neishbor would take /
from him again. The gold w,ls not wanted
to send abroad; the state Of the foreign ex
changes forbade it; there was, therefore, nc
fear of the depreciation Of paper. The ne.
cessty and pressure were purely domestic ;
what was wanted was sonething which eve.
ry body was disposed to Trust, as substitute
for what every body distrusted; and the pa.
per of the Bank of England answered in
such state Of things the purpose as well as
gold-it may be said to have done so even
better, as being more tranzmissable, and
reaching more readily and rapidly the points
where it was wanted.
ain this state Of things the remedy for
the difficulty was obvious, and unanimously
agreed to by us. Although the Bank had
no specie left, large additional issue of
notes was made, and about 81 SOC, 900, of
those of Ct, which were accidentally found
to be in existence, were circulated the re-
lief was immediate; the country received a
circulating currency, in which every body
had entire confidence, and the useless gold
was returned to the Bank"

Religious au.sruc,isu Of the Slaves.

We have never noticed so much apparent
interest in the religious instruction of the
slave population, as has been very recently
manifested in the South. Even in Charles
ton, the subject has been taken up, as will
appear by the following resolutions, adopted
at a Large and respectable meeting in
that place, at which the Hon F. H. Elmore
made speech
''Resolred, That, in the opinion of this
meeting, the present religious instruction OF
the colored population is duty pressed up
on us by considerations Of sound policy, as
well as Christian obligation.
"Rewlred, That we concur entirely in
the opinions expressed by the Session of this
church, and by the Presbytery of Charles
ton, that, in order that such instruction should
be given efficiently, and at the same time
with proper safeguards, it must be afforded
by thoroughly educated ministers, Of sound
principles, who arc devoted to the welfare
Of that people, and who understand our in
SutuuOllS.
"Resolred, That the offer Of the Rev.
John B. Adgcr to devote himself gratuitous
ly TO this work Of piety and usefulness, en-
bodying, as he does in himself, all the quail
fications desirable for this delicate and re
sponsible office, should be accepted, and the
funds be Immediately subscribed for the cree.
ton of church for colored congregation
under his ministry.
"Resolred, That a subscription for this
object be now opened, to raise the funds ne
cessary, to be received by the committee ap
pointed by the Secretary, and expended un
der their management.
"The committee then having given al
opportunity to all present of subscribing
the meeting was adjourned.
