ever, torbear Ito consider the contrast which he
has made between its agency and That Of Ma
tonal Bank in the fiscal operations Of the Gov
ernmant, as a fancy sketch" He could not
Otherwise have talked of the Government being
compelled to buy up specie with the notes oil the
Bank at loss of twenty or Twenty-Five per
cent" During the existence Of the Bank of the
United States any amount Of money belonging
to the Government would have been deposited at
New Orleans in specie, free Of expense. 1t was
the duty Of that institution thus TO accommodate
the operations Of the Government; and duting
the eighteen years il was used as the deposite oil
the funds of the Government, it never once dis
appointed It's trust. The editor Of the Ratoon all
mIts that il now costs the Government one Pei
cent. TO transmit specie to New Orleans, or tel
dollars for every thousand.
His talk about the inhltion of the currency b,
the operations Of National Bank, is equally fan
ciful. 1t was not until after determination ha,
been manifested by Gen. Jackson To put dow
the Bank of the United States, and State Bank
had sprung up like slushrooms all over the coun

The NEW California gold mines look
very like speculation Of capitalists. who

territory, 10 induce emigration. The trick.
however, will hardly succeed, the 90 d be.

by Lieut.. Maury, we ,ranscribe the follow

Inc southern hall OF the sea is as shallow
as the northern one is deep, and for about
one fourth Of its entire length the depth does
not exceed three fathomS, (lS feet.) Its
southern bed has presented no crystals but
the shores are lined with incrstations Of
salt, aud when we landed a, Uzdon, in the
space of one honr, our foot prints were Goa

The opposite shores of the peninsula and
the west coast present evident marks OF dis

OF this survey will fully sustain. the scrptu-

After the survey Of the sea, the party pro-

"that the distance from the top 10 the bottom
| Of the Dead Sea should measure the height
Of its banks, the elevation of the Mediterra-
mean, and the difference Of level between
the bottom Of the two seas, aud that the
depth Of the Dead Sea should be also an eX-
act multiple of Jerusalem above IT,"
Another not less singular fact, in the opin-
ion of Lieut.. LyNch, is "that the bottom Of
the Dead Sea forms two submerged plains,
an elevated and depressed one. The FIRST,
in its southern part. of Shiny mud covered
| bya shallow bay: the last, its northern and
largest portion, Of mud and incrustations,
and rectangular crystalizations Of salt-at a
