eSDear Thompson: This city seems to be in

to be going by steam, unless it is the Lcgis-
latiyc body.
This dignifed body, though mado up of a

no wonder it was unpleasant to him, because

indeed, by rendering its enforcement. moro
gradual, avoid some Inconvenience to the
public by the sudden and entire withdraw
al of the small circulation of the bahks.--
1t might be, provided the bank should not
increase the amount of its present circua-
tion under the denomination of ten dollars.
1T is also worthy of consideration how far
It viii be possible to prevent the circulation
of small bills within the State, upon the
Withdrawal of that issued by our bank, un-
less the cotcrminous States adopt the same
policy. A cognate provision in relation to
bills of banks of other States, adopted few
years ago, was found to be almost entirely
imperative.
Having the immediate charge and super
vision of large and important public in
terest, we have considered it our duty to-
bring to your attention these views, which
may have an important influence upon that
interest to which our attention has been
particularly directed, and respecting which
therefore, we may be expected to be moro
fully informed: in doing so we have dis
charged our duty to tho public and to the
Legislature, and must conform to such de-
termination as you may deem expedent.
In our last annual report, we stated that
this bank had suspended specie payments
under circumstances setforth in that report.
We would now state, that in common with
the other banks of the State that had sus-
pended, this bank resumed the payment Of
specie on the fifth day of June last. The
banks Of this city had sometime previously
reduced the rate for sight exchange on the
North to point which had removed, in
great degree, any inconvenience to the bu-
siness of the country resulting from sus-
pension.
The resumption has been attended with
no embarrassment, and the present condi-
ton of the banks prove that, though the
portion of their assets vested in specie at
the close of the business season of the last
year may not have been adequate to meet
the demand which arose under the extraor-
dinary circumstances of the period, yet tho
deficiency of specie was not evidence of in
solvency or inadequency of means to dis
charge all their obligations. Respectfully
submitted. G. M. FURMAN.

The Close of the Year

@ho NiooC VI Gil0 i Cur,
!. December's winds arc sighiug,
Stern winter now doth reign;
Tho Frost-Kmg, he is flying,
Unto his throne again.
His white heath, he is wearing,
a pail for Autumn's bier,
And tho days of JOY are leaving,
For the darkSomo ones arc here.
Tho Spring may hayc lis treasures,
The Summer Join the Chain,
with all its scenes of happiness,
And all it's howory train.
But still love Dcccmbcr,
Though IL be void of cheer,
Tho last, last lingering member
Of all misspont year.
Soon must its days forever,
Which now are spreading fast,
lie gathered up together,
And marshalled with the past;
For other days do hover.
Their tread we almost hear:
When thcy--when those arc over
Well welcome in the year.
Time swiftly flies before us,
Again, year hns gone;
Upon lifc's way it bore us,
From our childhood's happy dawn.
Another year we're meeting,
Shall VIC another have;
Or, ere it's days are hceting,
Bcsilcnt in the grave?
How many forms that glaldcned
Each home endcaring hearth,
Are gone, and We arc saddencd
That they have passed from earth.
4 What bright ones have departed,
~ Who then WAS with us here;
On whom Death now has dur,ed,
In this short fleeting year.
