TO THE PUBLIC.
I intended, on Saturday, to have said what I
'/all say to-day, but was prevented by indispo
se reply made to my statement, in contra
liction of an extract of a letter which appeared
in the Ricmond Enquirer, affirming that “ I
Lid on the authority of the Han. Henry Clay,
. Jhat’the Bank of Virginia had failed,” in which
^extract” not one word was uttered about a
* report” affords the least consolation to any
human being, I would not willingly remove so
*.‘eap a balm to a wounded conscience. The
fetter to the Cashier of the Bank of Virginia, I
had nothin", and have nothing, to do with—it
ms sufficient for my purpose to show that the
statement that 44 I asserted, on the authority of
[lie Hon. Henry Clay, that the Bank of Virginia
had failed,” was entirely erroneous^ and I am
I) eased to learn that the citizens of Richmond,
even before my publication appeared there,
treated the “ extract” as it dese^ed to be
treated
I have but one wrord more to say, and then shall
close the subject, as doubtless there is a friend
of mine who must, by this time, be quite sick of
it, and 1 desire not to give him any additional
pain to that which he must have suffered the
past week. Men may sometimes be provoked
into references to private or personal matters.
It would require strong provocation to induce
I me to stoop to this course. To do so, would be
contrary to my character and disposition. In
my publication of last Tuesday, I intended,
whilst proving to the public that I never said or
lllllUlUtVU) V4« Uiv, UUU1UI lijr VI HIV IIVU* «*VUi J
Clay, that the Bank of Virginia had failed,” to
offer a rebuke to officiousness on the part of an
office-holder who lived, politically speaking, “ in
a glass house, which I, or any other man, might,
with the sling of a pebble, shiver to pieces.” I
doubt, also, whether a self-constituted Goliath
will be recognized as a Champion, merely be
cause he has met with a discomfiture.

Alexandria, April 28, 1S34.
Major Downing and Mr. Van Buren; or “Dia
mond cut diamond.”—We understand there was
a warm confab a few days ago at Washington,
between Major Downing and Mr. Van Buren,
oo the subject of banks and banking, at the din
ner table at the White House. Major Downing
said, that “a bank jist like the United States
Bank, could do more good to the country, and
to trade, that any 50 State banks could, if all
their capital united was as much agin as the
I foiled States Bank”—this he said with a know
ing kind of look; but some folks at the table
gave Mr. Van Buren a wink, and he thought
loo that the Major, for once, had exposed him
self too much, as it had been said of him he ne
ver made an assertion, and in fact never laugh
ed without having good reason and law on his
side.
Mr. Van Buren thinking the Major had made
rather too wild an assertion, took him up, and
asked him if 50 banks, just like the Regency
Bank at Albany, and Safety Fund Banks too,
whose capital was greater than the United
States Bank; and \f they were all pledged to
each other, and agreed to stand by each other,
couid’nfc do more good for the people and the
country, in squally times, than one bank like
tie United States Bank with all its branches.
The Major brightened up in a minute; and
*ay$he, “if that is your notion, Mr. Van Buren,
f3like to hear you say so.” “ Well,” says Mr.
Mr.Van Buren, “I don’t care about saying so;
tilt 1 should like to have you show why it is
not so.” %* Then,” says the Major, “ I’ll give you
®y notions. You have been across the ocean,
taint you? well, if I remember rightly, you went
tiaNew York packet, and they are about 500
has. Now suppose I was to hitch together 50
sniall craft, of twenty tons each, and tie ’em all
atogether as strong as ropes and chains could
it; then there would be one thousand tons.
Now which would you feel safest on board on?
"".suppose you want to go from New York,
Providence, round Point Judy, which plan
would you take—go on board old Capt. Bun
***** boat, or on board a raft of small steam
&H lash’d together?
'Veil,” says Mr. Van Buren, “if you mean
j e to answer you, Major, 1 must beg to be ex
ised; for it requires a good deal of considera
“ Very well,” said the Major, “ I am not
Particular; but after you have considered on’t
\ir v’ ta^e care y°u commit yourself.”
r- Van Buren looked at the Gineral, and the
’^eral he shook his head, and began to laugh;
he^s he, “the Major beats all natur, don’t

P,1'J)rCle*~“-The tory presses are felicitating the
^l,c upon the recent importation of specie into

°Vno^* North Carolina.—In the course
'>ysaidei?arks’ *n ^ie ®enate on Friday, Mr.
^tuc ' ™a*some years ago, a traveller from
^lina^1 me* anot^er from Buncomb, North
reP^y to the question of what
***X»ae *entuckian said, that there had been
tha*°r<alnary revival of religion in the State,
1 some people believed that his Satanic
Majesty had been driven out of the State. Ah!
said the other, and where is he gone to? To
Buncomb, N. Carolina, said the Kentuckian.
This drew up Mr. Brown, who took the occa
sion to remark, that inasmuch as Mr. Clay and
Mr. Calhoun were found acting together, on the
subject of the removal of the deposites, he took
! it for granted that his Satanic Majesty had de
serted Buncomb, and accomplished the miracle
of uniting those gentlemen on this measure, as •
nothing less than his power could accomplish it. i
There are those who will concur with the ho
norable Senator in this; and what is it? It was
the act of seizing upon the public treasure, in
violation of law, that induced Mr. Calhoun and
Mr. Clay to unite in its condemnation. We
have understood that the President believes that
he was imspired to do that act.
Does Mr. Brown mean to say that he who, ha
ving been driven out of Kentucky, and retreat
ed to Buncomb, has taken up his residence in
the White House? Are we to attribute the re
moval of the deposites, the retreat of Major
Jack Downing, and the Protest, to that cause?

The Market.—Coffee continues to improve;
prime new crop Rio cannot be purchased at
Ipss than 13 cents, the advance is full 1-2 cent
per lb.; St. Domingo firm at 11 cts. and sales at
that price; good Java is scarce and would com
mand 13 to 13 1-2 cents; no Laguyra in market.
But little doing in Indigo or Spices. The 200
