p9- We print to-day, on our FIRST page the act
Of the Legislature, chartering the Bank Of Cl4rks-
vile. The details ofrights and privileges are not
here given, but are enumerated in the 'Act 70 re-
form and regulate the business Of Bankingin Tenn
cssee." They are similar we are told, TO those Of
the Union and Planters Banks--fully asliberal and
quite favorable to the doing Of good and prof.
table business Books for subscription of stock are
to be opened on the first a May in this city, and
we hope that our business men, and capitalists will
take at once the amount Of stock necessary TO or
gahise the Bank.
We have plenty ofcapital here; we certainly have
men as well fitted for a successful management of
such an institution, as can be found anywhere; and
our already large commercial business is rapidly
growing. Under all these circumstances, we should
at once take hold of and establish this new home
enterprise.

form. From the examination we have had time to
give them we do not hesitate to pronounce them both
excellent books such as every Christian family and
every Sabbath-schoOl should possess. The author
is an aged Methodist Minister who has spent his
whole life in laborng for the advancement of Chris
tianity and the good of Souls The publication of
his two books has brought him in debt,-tbe whole

p6S- Rev. T. D. Wardaw, of this city, delivered
at Fowlers Hall Or, Tuesday evening, according to
previous announcemert lecture on the subject Of
"Anaent C'viiization.". He. had been speaking, we
are sorry to say, little while when we entered the
Hall. He had then under consideration the ancient
Egyptians and reviewed in a concise, yet very sat
isfactory manner, their attachments in civilization,
and the useful and fine arts. Then followed brief
mention of their introduction, thence, by the Phoe-
nicians, into Greece, and their progress there.
From Greece, the learned speaker then traced the
spread Of civilization and the arts to Rome Final
ly notice Of their existence among us. OF course
we design to give the outline of the arrange
ment Of this admiinble lecture. We feel incompe-
tent to do justice to its real merits twas through
out one of the most chsste, finished, and scholarly
productions we have ever had the pleasure of lis
tening to- II was dripping, from beginning to end,
with the pure Oscillations Of the ripe scholars
BRAIN and sparkled with gems of rare classic beauty
Viewed simply as a specimen of chsste and elegant
dction, and Of the manner in which the pearls of
pure English may-ee beautifully strung together,
this lecture was a treat of rare excellence; but
wl'en we add TO this attractiyeness the deep historic
lore that laid before us the mighty monuments of
Egyptian skill and labor, the polished forms of
Grecian poetry and art, and tile sublime relics of
Roman genius and conquest an utility is added to
the beauty of the production, that renders it worthy
of any praise.
The audience, on this occasion, we were morti-
fed to notice, was not large but those who did at
tend were such as could appreciate and enjoy the
lecture. We could not help wishing, as we lis
tened to it, that every student and every intel-
gent man and woman in town were present. Our
College and Academy pupils could not but be bene-
fitted by listening to such polished instruction as
this lecture affords; and we should like very much
for our own Qualification, and that of hundreds of
Others, who have not heard it. TO have it repeated
and even followed up by others of like character.
We do not know that Mr., Wardlaw will consent
to its publication and fear that his natural modesy
would prompt him to shrink from it, yet we hope
that successful effort will be made to secure his
permission that shall lay this lecture before our
readers.

NEARLY A FrRE.--Our friend, Messrs. Seat, Nc
Whittier Co, had a narrow escape at their Store,
on Wednesday evening. As they were arranging
some of their fine dress goods for display, in the
large show-windows they caught fire from the gas
burner, in the window, and the material being ii
very light fabric, the goods all instantly in
blaze. Fortunately, though by the prompt action
of those present, The flames were subdued, with the
loss only of three or four fine dress patterns
and the burning, pretty severely, of the hands of
those who extinguished the fire.
Although tue dress-patterns, thus burned, were
very pretty, ysi our friends there, have plenty more
OF the same sort left and we advise the ladies to
go soon and secure them as they might have an
other little fire, and lose theml

SPECIAL NoTICE.-We are requested TO say, to all
those indebted TO Pollock Waggener, that they
must come forward forthwith and PAY UP, and thus
enable them to do likewise and at the same time
save them the unpleasant necessity of employing
cOnstables to make their collections for them The
business ofPoock Waggener must necessarily be
closed up very speedily, consequently if you do not
pay up in very short time you can find your note
or account in the hands Of some officer. They are
in earnest too in what they say, if you want to
save costs you had better go and pay up. You can
always find Pollock at the old stand.

be reduced to NEW YORK RATES and the same
care and attention will be paid to the finishing of

sSy~ The late Legislature made some important
amendments TO our city charter. No alterations
were made in the boundaries of the city that project
having been abandoned by the board OF Aldermen.
BY the amendments the Board are empowered to use
the credit of the corporation in negotiating loans,
selling bonds to the extent of $4,000, without
referring to the people. Before this they could
create no debt, unless authorized by majority Of
all the votes in the city. The late amendments
also restore TO the Board the power to elect all the
corporation officers except the city Marshal. Some
other less important changes wctc made, of which
we are not advised.

A SPECIFIC REMEDY.--The evidence in favor of
Hurleys Sarsaparilla, is Of the most overwhelming
and convincing character. In every quarter of
our country it is regarded as a blessing, and has
done more for the removal of disease than any one
medicine on record. Its potent agency in the cure
of Scrofula, Liver disease, Chronic Ulcers, Dyspep-
sia Kidney affections, obstinate cutaneous erup-
tions' are already too familiar with the community
to require comment. lw

most approved styles, well ventilated well lighted
and in every respect comfortable. The sleeping
rooms of the young ladies are models of neat and
comfortable arrangement. Each room has fine
carpet upon the floor, and contains a handsome
bedstCad, wardrobe, writng-table waslsand, chairs
&c. The bedding is Of the best kind the mattresses
being ofthe best quality, and the Sheets blankets

each. They are oil kept too in Npple-pie order
The diningroom is very large, and is well yentlat-
ed The tableware is all of fine quality and is

tuition indicates liberal expenditure, and elegant
taste. There is no gingerbread display made, but
all is elegant and comfortable Cheapness has not
been aimed at at all, in the establishment and there

Very few even Of our citizens know how much Dr.
Hamilton has done at this excellent institution. A
gentleman, who was there, few days ago, an agent
oflarge book-publishing house, said that his bust
ness had carried him to most oftheprominent female
schools in the country, and he was familiar with the
internal arrangement of most of them, but he had
never yet seen one so completely and literally fur
nished and provided, as the one here. This is
high compliment yet it is one well deserved. The
Academy is now in a fourishing condition, and
everything indicates most prosperous future for it,
