Io not

It was said—I do not vouch the truth—that
Andrew Bartle offered and solicited a contract
to remove that earth at 18 cents the cubic yard.
If so, it was our interest to make that contract,
or even at 20 cents. 1 am not the friend of An
drew Bartle, nor his enemy; but I understand
him to be au able workman in such matters;
and if our Engineer measured the bank correct
ly, no contractor could wrong the Company
one cent. Had such contract been made, the
year 1833 w'ould have finished that work, if not
delayed by the culvert on the south side. That
culvert Is, I am told, the work of hired hands
chiefly. The same mischiefs, I believe, attend
that work too—loss of money, bv less work giv
en for it than by contract; and the still more in
jurious waste of time, by delay of its comple
tion. It is but matter of opinion to say that work
ofdaily hirelings is to the Company dearer than
the same work by contract. Mr. Mason has
freely expressed his preference for- the day’s
work plan:—Mr. Martineau, who ought to be
$ood authority to him, has, in writing, express
ed to the Direction the contrary, in positive
terms. When I dissented from Mr. Mason on
this subject, a very peculiar fact was unknown
to me. Early in 1833 1 was told he had hired
negro men at sixty dollars a year, and re
hired them to this Company at 75 cents a day.
1 treated it as a scandalous falsehood, not be
‘Keying that an officer paid bv the Company
r""ld descend to such a practice. I told Mr.
Mason of it—lie did not deny it, but said he had
K»t money by it. If so, 1 think the loss d( served,
l^k, if such hired men be fitting for such work,
fould not a contractor, who hired them at $60 a
'ear, whose interest would oblige them to work
fairly, make a good profit by their labor, and
'ft save to you 23 per cent, upon the daily wa
?esJou paid Mr. Mason, of 75 cents, for such
inr-n? Your answer must be yes. You cannot
■! Ivocate such day’s work principle. Half the
* "ard, at least, while I w as there, preferred con
?ract work, considering it the cheapest and spee
*ies! mode to finish our Canal, besides relieving
*e Board Irom a constant, troublesome, but
‘"availing attention to things they could not be
judges of, and for which duty, especially,
‘ Jilineers are employed and paid; on whom
""tract work imposes only the trouble to see
1 ' ■ !;ie materials used be proper, and the work
informed faithfully to contract. 1 know not
v w>ofyour officers besides Mr. Mason prefer
‘ ‘lay’s work business, unless it was your En
De once did say to me that the (or
v" Y contractors were all a set of rascals.” 1
"r* ‘ hoped not so:—he repeated the expres
t n k * know not if he included contractors for
stone, and other materials incidental to
'■on r?Ct work; but 1 knew an instance In our
^ -in, wherein grum logs were asked to be

New Orleans, April 12,1834.—The popular fu
ry which we briefly adverted to in our paper yes
terday, as consequent upon the discovery of the
barbarous and fiendish atrocities committed by
the women Lalaurie upon the person of her
slaves, continued unabated the whole of the
evening before last anti part of yesterday morn
ing. It was found necessary for the purpose of
restoring order, for the sheriff and his officers to
repair to the place of riot and to interpose the
authority of the state, which we are,pleased to
notice proved effectual, without the occurrence
of any ofthose acts of violence which are com
mon upon similar occasions. We regret, how
ever, to state that previously, some indignities
had been shown to judge Canonge, who ven
tured to expostulate with the assailants upon the
propriety of ceasing their operations, and that
during the same, deadly weapons were in the
hands of many persons, a resort to which at
one time was seriously apprehended. Nothing
of the kind happily, however, transpired.
Nearly the whole of the edifice is demolished,
and scarcely any thing remains but the walls
which the. popular vengeance has ornamented
with various,.writings expressive of indignation
and the justness of their punishment.
The loss of poperty sustained estimated by
some at $40,000 but others think this calculation
exaggerated. It must, however, have bean ve
ry great indeed, as the furniture alone was of
the most costly kind, consisting of pianos, ar
mors, &c. &c., which were removed to the gar
ret and thrown from thence into the street for
the purpose of rendering them of no possible
value whatever. ; • iSSjlfc
This is the first act of the kind that our popu
1 jree have ever engaged in; and although the
provocation pleads much in favor of the ex
i cesses committed, yet we dread the precedent.
To say the least of it, it may be excused, but
can’t be justified. Summary punishments, JJre
results of popular excitement in a government
of laws, can never admit of justification, let the
circumstances be ever so aggravating.—Bee.
It is rumored that Mr. Kemble and his daugh
ter Fanny intend to spend another year in this
country. It is also rumored that Mr. K. has
some legal difficulties to contend with in this
city, growing out of his engagement with a for
mer Manager of the Tremont theatre. The sum
at stake is said to be rising $3000, which the
aforesaid Manager, with good intentions, and
for justifiable ends, sues to recover of Mr. Kem
ble at the hands of an intelligent jur^. If Mr.
K. loses the case, it is said other suits of a simi
lar character will be commenced forthwith by
other Managers. As Uncle Toby says—“an
overreaching disposition is worse than the itch.”
We will only add, that the affair made consider
able talk in the fashionable circles.—Host. Gaz.
Saving's Banks.—The invention of Savings’
Banks has been attributed, in a late number of
the London Quarterly Review, to George Rose,
a Scotchman, who attained some celebrity as
one of the ablest and most active members of
the administration of William Pitt. It appears,
however, that the credit of the invention really
belongs to Jeremy Bentham. His plan of Fru
gality banks, as he termed them, was promulga
ted in the year 1797, and was from time to time
pressed upon the attention of practical men but
rejected as visionary.
In the year IS 11 a work containing the plan,
with several other publications of Mr. Bentiiam,
was laid before a Committee of the House of
Commons; and by the influence of Mr. Rose,
who was well acqainted with Bentham, an act
of parliament was passed legalizingthe estab
lishment of savings’banks. But a part only of
Bentham’s plan was adopted.
His Frugality Banks comprised a system of
annuities, which has been partially adopted in
an act of Parliament lately passed, and were al
so to be so constituted as to afford the same
banking facilities in every respect to the poorer
classes, as other banks afford to the wealthy,
particularly in enabling them to transmit funds
to distant places by orders upon other savings’
banks.
A late London paper estimates the amount
now deposited in Savings’ banks in Great Bri
tain and Ireland at sixteen millions of pounds
sterling; the number of saving’s banks is pro
bably about live hundred. In this country, ac
cording to the Encyclopedia Americana, the
first savings’ bank was opened in Philadelphia
in November 1816. The number is now rapid
ly increasing in the Northern and Eastern States.
