The Bank of the United States, in its late
conduct, is said to have acted with great caution
and deliberation, and under the advice of emi
nent counsel in Philadelphia, learned in the law.
The Bank professes to be perfectly willing to
five “ ample space and verge enough" for all
inquiry as to its business and transactions, so as
to show to the nation its true state and condi
tion; but it also professes to resist all illegal de
mands and unlawful encroachments upon its
chartered rights. We shall see the true state
ofthe case, when the Committee make their re
port. and the Bank makes its defence.
Great Dividend.—The American Insurance
Company have declared a dividend of ttcelre
percent, out of the profits of the last six months
payable on the 1st June.
Rhode Island— The Senate of this State, hav
ing non-concurred with the House of Kepi esen
tatives as to the first two resolutions adopted by
that body, censuring the removal of the depo
1 sites, and recommending their restoration and
poncurred in the other resolutions, respecting
the expediency and necessity of a National
Bank—a conference was held, which resulted in
each House adhering to its opinions.
The House, in consequence, voted that the re
solutions passed by the House, be signed by the
Speaker, and forwarded to the Representatives
ofthe State in Congress.
The General Assembly then adjourned.
The Providence Journal, referring to this mat
ter, and to the course pursued by Governor Fran
cis,says—
“It is due to him to say, that he used all his ex
ertions and influence to procure the passage of
those resolutions in the Senate, and that if the
state of the vote had thrown the responsibility
of deciding the question upon him, he would
have decided in favor of their passage. In the
Senate also, were two honorable exceptions;
two individuals who, true to their oath ot ot
fice and their important trusts, were not willing
to prostrate all the wealth and industry of Rnode
Island for the glory of Andrew Jackson.”

To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
Mr. Benton, in a speech the other day, made
the following remarks:
v Till the formation of the Federal Government,
tbis country had a gold and silver currency. The
monarchsof Europe gave their people a gold
•md silver currency; even the free black of St.
Domingo bad a gold and silver currency; and
should it be said that this country could not pos
wssone? If it depended on the votes of gentle
men who said we could not have a metallic cur
rency, we should not have one;but if the people
said there should be a specie currency, he saw
no reason why this country* should not possess it
well as other countries.’ ’
Whether the condition of this country has
been better or worse since the formation of the
federal Government, I will at present leave for
the honorable gentleman and his friends to de
cide. The monarchs of Europe, it seems, have
given their people a gold and silver currency:
are, therefore, in duty bound to give thanks
to our monarch for having given us and “the
Hackmen” a gold and silver currency, although
*t has been'at the expense (to the utter ruin, in
'act,) of widows and orphans interested in the
Bank of this District, the government and well
being of which ought to be the peculiar care of
the President.
My object, however, in this communication,
is to expose the ignorance of the Hon. Senator
Benton, in asserting that the “ Free Blacks of
St. Domingo” have a gold and silver curren
cy.” I will not aver that they have not a metal
lic currency,—but this I know, and every per
son conversant with the trade to St. Domingo
knows, that a Spanish doubloon, worth in the
United States about $16, is worth in the cur
rency of St. Domingo $22 a $24; or, in other
words, the difference between the currency of
the United States and the currency of St. Do
mingo is 50 a 60 per cent, in favor of the for
mer. That is 4> say, a five dollar note of the
Bank of the United States is equal in value to
seven dollars and a half metallic currency of
the “ Free Blacks of St. Domingo.”
If the honorable Senator is thus ignorant of
the currency of our nearest neighbors, I would
ask, is he a fit person to tamper with the cur
rency of this great Republic? How long are
the People of the United States to be deluded
and betrayed by such pretenders to financial
skill and knowledge? It is for them to answer.
CRISTOPHE.
Alexandria■, May 15, 1834.
Yesterday, a crop of 11 hhds. of really fine,
rich, dry Tobacco', sold at Shockoe Warehouse,
for an average of $8 95.—Rick, Whig.
Crockett.—This distinguished western repre
sentative met with a flattering reception “down
east,” where he has been spending a few days.
On visiting the Navy Yard, Boston, to look
at the ship Constitution, a young Whig, who ac
companied him, asked him if he could not grin
off the figure head. “ Send the frigate to Old
Kentuck,” said the Colonel, “there i am up to
a thing or two.” At Lowell, he was placed in
a hollow square of three thousand gals, where
he made a speed) in favor of the American
System, which he concluded by a neat, compli
ment to them. “ Ladies,” said he, “ I was ne
ver so fairly surrounded in my life.”
While at Lowell, Crockett inquired for the
girl who kissed the President; but our friend
Locke, of the Lowell Journal, informed him
that she was one of the leaders of the late riot,
and had gone to her father’s in New Hamp
shire. The Colonel was much disappointed;
“ for,” said he, “ I'd like to see that gal. Kiss
the President, did she? Why, I’d sooner kiss
a side of dried sole leather myself, any day.”
The Colonel is very chaste.
Col. Crockett, in conversing with a friend,
said he’d rather be the slave of a nigger, and
live upon rackoon soup, than wear the collar of
the Kitchen cabinet. Oh, it does me good, (he
continued) to see the fellers throw their collars
off, now and then—they appear to feci so well
arter it, to raise their heads so high and look so
nice about the neck and cheek bones.
We regret to learn that Col. Crockett, while
on a visit to Camden yesterday, lost his pocket
book containing about $150. As one note was
on the Farmers and Mechanics’ Bank of George -
town for $100, a broken bank, it can be of little
use to the finder, who is invited by an advertise
ment to send it on to the Colonel at Washington,
and keep the current money for his trouble.
U. S. Gar.
From Greenock.—By the Roger Stewart, the
Editors of the Gazette have received the Green
ock Intelligencer of Saturday, April 5—In this
paper we find that nearly 1000 emigrants for the
United States and Canada had assembled, and
were on the eve of embarking.—Many of them
were already on board, wind bound. The
names of the vessels, and the numbers on board
of each are enumerated- some of them have
arrived, and others on their passage. Many of
the emigrants are from the Highland Glens,
and others from manufacturing districts—all
panting lor the society and scenes of our west
ern world.—iV. V. Gaz.
.4 Sham.—Our news collector tells us, that
about 12 o'clock to-day, a young and well dres
sed man on the Battery, was seen to apply a pis
tol to his side, fire it, and fall. Persons ran to
his assistance—he was apparently dead, but on
examination it was found that no ball hadpene
the ship. which was onlv scorched togeth
er with the vest and shirt, by the powder. There
was no ball probably in the pistol. The party
was removed quite sensible, conscious and un
scathed, though not unscared, to a carriage, and
so the matter ended.—X. }. Amer.
Obstinacy.—A man named Wheeler was cross
ing the river from the foot of Brooklyn Heights
to the Battery, his boat upset, and he was nigh
drowning, when another man put oft to his as
sistance;”but Wheeler recognizing in this man
an individual by whom he had once been injHi
ed, warned him. at the peril of his life, to keep
away, or he would stab him in the water. Two
boys, in another boat, picked WTheeler up twen
ty minutes afterwards, more dead than alive:
and had he remained in the water five minutes
longer, he must inevitably have perished through
his own obstinacy.—.V. Y. Transcript.
Attempt to Rob the Dedham Bank.—We learn
by a gentleman from Dedham, that an attempt
was made last night to break into the Bank in
that town. The rogues were probably alarmed
before they could effect their object, and fled, as
their tools were found on the spot. They endea
vored to enter by boring holes in the floor, and
trying to Dry off the lower part of it.
An attempt was made also to rob Trescott and
Boyden’s store, in Factory Village. -

A Curious Circumstance.—A slory went the
rounds a short time since of a lady having been
in the habit of frequenting the gambling hells at
the west end of the town in disguise, and who
it is said, lost £1500. We then doubted the truth
of this matter, and still doubt the amount of the
alleged loss; but an adventure recently occur
red, which tends to confirm the belief that the
fair sex do occasionally, and on the sly, indulge
in the baneful passion of gambling.
For some time past, a man of youthful ap
pearance, wearing mustachios, was observed to
be an occasional visiter to a well known house,
we have heard, 13 Park place, St. James’, where
he played with various success, but for mode
rate stakes. At length, on a night last week,
he tendered a check for fifty pounds to the
banker, and, in an under tone, requested coun
ters. It had been remarked that he scarcely
ever spoke but in a similar subdued manner.
As he was recognised and believed to be re
spectable, his request was at once complied
with, aud for a time fortune seemed to crown
his speculations. At last, however, luck turn
ed, and he lost all! His agitation had been gra
dually increasing, and, on loosing his last coun
ter, he dropped on the floor.
He was immediately carried into a private
apartment where every humane attention was
paid to him, and proper restoratives applied, but
he relapsed from one fit to another, and at last
on unbuttoning his collar and throwing open his
vest, the man proved to be a woman! A medi
cal gentleman was sent for, and at last compa
rative self-possession was gained.
Consciousness, however, only increased the
agitation of the patient, who recognized in the
medical attendant a friend of both her own and
her husband—for she was a married woman.
An eclairoissement took place, and it is due to
state that the owner of the establishment at
• . lit ___ f .1
once coinmissci uieu uie Miuauuu wi me ummp
py woman, and, without a moment’s hesitation,
returned the check, which, it is painful to add,
was subsequently admitted to be signed with the
name of her husband. The lesson was a severe
one, and it is hoped will have its proper effect.

COAL.
Office of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Co. f
Philadelphia, January 15, 1834. $
1AM directed by the Managers of this Com
pany to communicate to their friends and
customers abroad, the terms and conditions up
on which they propose, during the shipping sea
son of the present year, to deliver their Coal by
the cargo, on board of vessels, at the Compa
ny’s wharves on the Delaware, either in Phila
delphia, or at Bristol above the city, as may be
most convenient to tne company wnen vessels
shall apply for loading.
Price for any quantity not less than 50 tons
and under 1,000 tons. $5.00 for Hard Coal, and
$4.50 for Soft Coal—per ton of2,240 lbs.
Price for 1,000 tons and upwards, $4.75 for
Hard Coal, and $4.25 for Soft Coal—per ton of
2,240 lbs.
At the above named prices, the Coal will be
carefully raked before shipment, but, if taken
unraked from the boats, as it comes from tiie
mines, the prices will be twenty-five cents per
ton less.
For any quantity not exceeding 100 tons, pay
ment to be made on the first of November, 1834;
above that quantity, one-half on the first of No
vember, 1834; the other half on the first of Ja
nuary, 1835.
The character o( the Lehigh Hard Coal is so
well known, that it is not deemed necessary to
subjoin any recommendation of its quality. It
is sufficient to state, that for parlour grates,
stoves, and culinary uses, no coal is more ge
nerally approved in this place; while, as fuel for
steam engines, for malting, heating brewers’
and dyers’ coppers, nail-works, foundries, and
rolling and slitting mills, it has decidedly the
preference, on account of its greater durability
and cleanliness, to the extent of more than two
thirds of the aggregate consumption of anthra
cite coal for those purposes in Philadelphia and
its vicinity.
The Lehigh Soft Coal ignites more easily,
and burns more freely than the Hard, and on
that account is preferred by many consumers.
In case vessels are to take in at Bristol, they
will be towed up there, in from two to three
hours, by the Company's steamboats, without
expense to the captains or owners, and when
loaded will be towed down in the same \Vay,
also free of charge.
Every exertion will be made to give vessels
the utmost possible despatch. It is to be under
stood that they must take their regular turn to
load; and no claim for demurrage, should they
wait for their turn, or claim for any other cause
heyond the Company’s control, can he allowed.!
The Managers, however, believe that the faci
lities possessed by the Company this year, will
enable them to conduct their business w ith in
creased regularity and despatch.
No advantage of credit being gained by de
lay, it is respectfully suggested that orders
should be sent early in the season, when freights
and insurance are generally obtained on the
best terms. With every disposition to accom
modate their correspondents, the Managers will
use their best endeavors, as heretofore, to pro
cure vessels, when so requested, on the lowest
terms, but they w’ould recommend that their
customers should engage vessels for themselves
whenever practicable.
The Managers have further directed me to
say, that, should they make any reduction this
vear from the nrices for the exnort trade, nam-1
ed in this circular, bersons giving previous or- J
ders shall receive the benefit of such reduction;
at the same time, the Managers do not preclude
themselves from advancing the price with the
advance of the season, should they deem it ex
pedient; but orders accepted will not be subject
to any advance. Yours, with respect,
