Of tables, chairs &c, (as wei, as my sy stem

CENTRAL BANK-rhis is one of the new
independent banks chartered by our legislature,
and located at Staunton, having, as we'll as the
other independent banks, one of the features
of the New York free banking system-thal Of
S ate stock as the basis of their circulalon.-
The Central bank went into operation on the
lst of February, and on the 1st instant declar-
ed dividend of three per cent, after deducting
for the State bonus one quarter per cent, and
placing one per cent to the contingent fund.-
The Presidents salary, however, had moi
be IN paid-the board not having determined
" hat it should be. The bank has had in its
commencement to sink portion of its profits
in paying accrued interest on State stock, pur
chased from time to time as basis of its cir
culaton. Col. William Kinney is President,

SPEED rs. SAFETY.-After the dreadful ac
cident at Norwalk, by which fifty persons lost
their lives, it was resolved by the New Haven
Railroad Company to stop the passenger tra
at all the draw bridges. The Journal of Com
mefce, of New York, at the time, applanded
the regulation, but expressed the apprehension
that the public would complain oil the delay.
Sure enough il has so turned out. That paper
now says that such ia the clamvr of passengers
on the road, that it fears the company will
have to yield, and pass drawbridges without
stopping, as before The accident. The time
lost by the precautionary measure of stopping,
10 the whole distance between New York ana
Hartford, is about ten minutes.

a new rheumatic ointment. We suppose the
quack in the above remedy conceives that
frogs never have rheumatism, because they
amp so actively, and that if man can tran sfer
a little Of the oil which supplies their legs to
his own joints, they will never grow stiff. AS

An ANCIENT Custom REvIyED -Ths n-o
rrietors of the Metropolitan Ho,el Ne. yp,I
have added to their usual dinner dssser, ;ns,rn'
mental m usic of the FIRST order, gems from ,hs
opera, marches, polkas, &c. This new desssrt
commences this week.
Truly, we are fast becoming nation of Sy-
bariies. The luxury which prevails has
scarcely rival in that which existed during
the palmiest days Of Athens or Rome. We
expect soon to hear that carving will be per
formed to the sound Of music and with appro-
pirate gesticulatons, as in the days of Petro.
MUS. The ancients must have been far be
hind US in music. The aulos, Buccina, Gyms
balum, lituus, sistrum, tuba, and tympanum
must have been wretched instruments com.
pared with those of later date. Itwouid do
an old Romans heart good to wake up for a
few weeks, take steam for New York, and Lists
en- to the music at the Metropolitan. We
shouldn't mind joining him at Tie dinner hour,
if twas only to talk over old times, and set
tie in our minds some disputed points in his
tory.
