Their Onstomere, who have allowed largo sums of money to remain a l.Mg time In' their custody, and to bus lent by them on at least legal interest, and without eoropensotion to its owners, are sur prised by being informed by. the presidents, cashiers, &Clerks, that their deposits will not be returned to them on their cheeks. The holdall of bank notes, on which are stamped unequivocal pro mises to pay, on demand, the MIMI named on them, are equally surprised on being informed that those promises'will not be fulfilled. Bank shareholders are confounded by the intelligence that their mo ney is to . remain locked op in the vaults of the banks, entirely useless to them, and that the dba. donde which they expected to receive is - the cora- 1 psnsation for its use, by the bank; are not to be de. dared or paid. i It need not be doubted that banks would be use-' ful institutions, if conducted under salutary rules, and by skilful, judicious, and honest men. But if they are " got up" by comparatively a very] few 'selfish, ambitious, and unprincipled men, to promote the success of their own sordid projects; if they are committed to the sore of a party, or oliqu'o, Called directors, who act altogether for their own interests ; If the stockholders are negligent of their individual and corporate property in them, and permit the directors, or their eervants, to mis direct the banking affairs, without control, and even without any supervision of their castanet ; if, in turn, the directors allow their president, or cashier, to act almost or altogether independently of them, and to lend money in vast amount, and to any persons who are supposed to be wealthy and influential; for the purpose of speculation, while those directors, presidents, and ,cashiers refuse to assist honest, industrious, prudent men, engaged in safe but moderate business, with resutonable loans, what can be expected but that institutions erected on such frail and false foundations, eon. ducted by such injudicious men, and on quoit erro moue principles, should fall to accomplish-the proper objects for which they should have-been es , tablished, but for,whioh they were not established '? That such a mode of proseentingbaukingbusiness as Where indicated has been frequently pursued; and isnoW:pureued, Is loudly and confidently smarted by'the ,popular Voice, which, although sometimes unreasonably clamorous, is often honest and true in its Outcries against the prevalent errors of the time; „That "voice potential " mast not he disre garded. It must not be treated with contempt or derision by those who, too confident in their posses sion of golden or paper power, despise the admo nitions of the wise and the upright, and, deceived by the wild-fire'whieh misleads them in their ca reer of money getting and their bonndies and "low ambition" of being pointed out as rich and potent rulers of the Money, °Moils, laugh to scorn the real interests of the entire community, and' etre' only for themselves ' The only, or the principal, objects of banks should he to receive money on deposit, or in payment of stook shares—paying a moderate interest on de posits; to keep those deposits safely for their real owners, or to lend them to proper Persona, on proper security to return them when required; to pay dividends or interest on stock shares, when the real profits of, the banking business justify the payment of dividends ; to issue notes, in renteonable and jest proportion to the amount of 'their actual specie capital ; and to lend to persons engaged in real business, or possessed of real pecuniary resources, amounts of money proportioned to their ability to return them, and to the extent and emoluments of that business. There should be, among the direct ors, no ambitious speculators. The directors, or other ofileers, should not be allowed to divide wrong them and their partisans arid' friends Un monad sums, constituting, perhaps, a large portion of the capitals of the banks. There Should be no unlimited 'authority entrusted to the directors by the Stockholders. - There should be no euoiranthw ritiitiqtattedhy,the' directors to the presidents or cashiers, who should . be strietly prohibited from lending motley,, in ' any amount, without the pre iletii knewledge and consent of the dirwitors.

It is diametrically contrary to the proper objects of banking and to , the real interests of those concerned in it, ns well as the general community, to hoard specie, which should be applied to the !Moog, redemption of tbo notes of banks. The money of banks should sib( be lent to 'speculators, in such amounts as to render It impossible to assist men engaged in real and substantial; but moderato business. It is In judioious, if not dishonest, to land the money of depositors, or of stockholders to such speculators, in 'such amounts, or in any amounts, or to brokers or other dealers in money, who are, probably, deetltute of any real capital of their own, and who, perhaps, depend on loans from banks for the prose. cation of their trade in money, from which they may derive unreasonablo or usurious profits, and V I which they aid in keeping the value of money and that of all other property in a state of con tlqual fluctuation, and rendering all possessions, raid and persOnal, uncertain and precarious.

CORRESPONDENCE. • FROM A COUNTRY VILLAGE. (Correspondence of the Pros., 3 PLIIILRANTVILLE, Westchester, N.

Oen we ever set value to the corn harvest, or limit' its capacity for the wants of our man and cattle? The treasury of its kernels ROMs inex haustible, It grows in almost every clime; in all places it may be seen in its season, its green spiral form towering above all grain, who bow reverently their 'tender heads, in seeming submission to its greatness. When it is gathered, besides its worth, the farmer' socially contemplates its value in the bookings, in the old familiar barn, with the lan tern extended from the rugged beam overhead, and the small mountain of husks to be cleared away, to make room for the lively dance or play of pawns. Alas for the unsuspooting maiden who gets a twin ear—for many aro the kisses taken for the penalty. Sharp are the eyes that watch the girls, as they Sit with a basket of corn, and a young man between them, ready to give the word, and then pounce on the peer creatures with a shower of kisses. Long live busking frolics, and may no winked inventor ever find the secret of a manure for taking off the husks !

Doubtless, all the pigs and chickens will flirt their tails for joy; and perhaps vete me a bristle or a feather eir my effort in their behalf. But, jesting aside, we find it still beautiful in this land of milk and butter,.and have been amusing ourselves lately in trying the mettle of some In dian ponies in very break-neck fashion, to the con sternation of all timid mortals about here, who momentarily expected our demise. In fact, wo have some real natives up in the mountains, whose hospitality in the euccatosh way is undeniable. Last week they had a general pow-wow, previous to the departure of their many friends to the city for the winter. Not exactly sin sauvagn ono, how ever—instead of the drum and dry stick, we bad a very (I no-toned piano; indeed, I laughed when I looked at it, for the dance and sociable chat. Our white faces made a great contract to the ruddy hue of the host and hostess, whose dignified manners any one might envy. The sister donned the cos- Untie o la Indiati for our benefit, and very pietu resque.and handsome she looked. Any white man could have been forgiven, did ho forego his tribe for her sake. We noticed among the guests Commodore Reed and family, of your city, who seemed delighted at the originality of the party; also, George Copway, the, missionary ; but as the occasion` was not a religious one, he kept' silent on the important sub ject, but made it •np in being vastly interesting to the ladies, Who thought him a darling—for a red man. But enough of the Indians, whose social and literaiy 'standing here is not " to be sneered at," among a very intellectual and polite class of per sons who surround this place,, with their beautiful and tasteful • cottages.

THE BOX-TUNNEL---A; FACT. A NEW STORY BY CHARLES BEADY The 10.15 train glided from Paddington, May 7, 1847. In the left compartment of a certain cant-class carriage were four pas sengers; of these, two were worth descrip tion. The lady had a smooth, white, delicate brow, strongly-marked eyebrows; Icing lashes, eyes that seemed to change color, and a good. sized delicious mouth, with teeth as white as milk. A man could not see her nose for - her eyes and mouth; her own. sex could and would have told us some nonsense about it.- She wore an unpretending grayiali,dress, but. toned tattle throat, with . lozenge-shaped but= .tons, and a Scotch shawl that agreeably evaded the responsibility of. color. She was like a duck—so tight her plain feathei73 fitted her; and there she sat, smooth, snug, and delicious, ;with a book in her hand, and a soupcon of her snowy wrist just visible as she held it. Her opposite neighbor was what I call a good style of man—the more to his credit, since he belonged to a corporation that fre quently. tarns out the worst imaginable style of young men. He was a cavalry offices,aged twenty-live. He had a moustache, but- not a very repulsive One not one of these sub-nasal pig-talls, on which soul is suspended like dew on a shrub ; it was short, thick, and black as coal. His teeth had not yetbeen turned by to, bacco smoke to the color of , tobacco juice, his clothes did hot stick to•nortang en him„-they sat on ge,hadosiwralfillee l V, what I liked ilia dekfor,'his vanity, which was inordinate, was in his proper place, his hearty , - not in his face, jostling mine and other peo ple's, whic have none ; in a word, he was what oftener. hears of then meets, a young gentleman. He was conversing in an animated whisper with a companion, a fellow-ofticer— they were talking about, what it is far better not to do, women. Our friend clearly did not wish to be overheard,for lie cast,ever and anon, a thrtive glance at his fair ris-a-eis and low ered his voice. She seemed completely ab sorbed iq her book, and that reassured him. At last the two soldiers came down to a whis per, and in that whisper (the truth must be told) the one who got down at Slough, and was lost to posterity, bet ten pounds to three, that he who was going with us to Bath :414 im mortality would not kiss either of the ladies op posite upon the road. "Done !" cc Done !" Now I am sorry a man I have hitherto praised should have lent himself, even in a whisper, to such a speculation ; but " nobody is wise at all hours," not even when the clock is striking five-and-twenty ; and you are to consider his profession, his good looks, and the tempta tion—ten to three. After Slough the party was reduced to three ; at Twyford one lady dropped her hand kerchief: Captain Dolignan fell on it like a tiger and• returned to it like a lamb ; two or three, words were interchanged on'-that . occasion., At Reading the Marlborough of - our tali. made• one of the safe investments of that day; he, bought a Times and a Punch ; the latter, was full of steel-pen thrusts and wood-cuts.. Valor and beauty deigned to laugh at some in.' fisted humbug or other punctured by Punch. Now laughing together thaws our human ice; long before Swindon it was a talking match— at Swindon, who•so devoted as Captain Dolig nan—he handed there ont--he souped them— he tough-chickened them—he brandied and cochinealed one, and he brandied and burnt sugared the other; on their return to their carriage, one lady passed into the inner corn partment to inspect a certain gentleman's seat on that side the line. Reader, had it been you or I, the beauty would have stayed with us till all was blue, ourselves included ; not more surely does our slice of bread and butter, when it escapes from our hand, revolve it ever so often, alight face downwards on the carpet. But this was a bit of a fob, Adonis, dragoon—so Venus remained tete-a-tete with him. You have seen a dog meet an unknown female of his species; how handsome, how .empresse, how expressive he becomes; such was Dolignau after Swindon, and to do the dog justice he got handsomer and handsomer; and you have seen a cat con scious of approaching cream, such was Miss Haythorn ; she became demurer and demurer. Presently our captain looked out ot the window andlaughed ; this elicited an inquiring look from Miss Haythorn. “We are only a mile from the Box Tunnel." "Do you always laugh a mile from the Box Tunnel 1" inquired the lady. " Invariably." "What for 1" "Why, hem! it's a gentleman's joke." "Oh! I don't mind it's being silly if it makes me laugh." Captain Dolignan, thus encouraged, re counted to Miss Haythona the following: A lady and bar husband sat together going through the Box Tunnel. Thero was ono gen tleman opposite, and it was pitch dark. After the tunnel had been passed through, the lady said: " George, how absurd of you to salute mo going through- the tunnel !" "I did no such thing!" " You didn't 7" "No ! why /". " Why, because somehow I thought you did 1" Hero Captain Dolignan laughed, and en deavored to lead his companion to laugh, but it was not to be done. The train entered the tunnel. Miss Haythorn. "Ah Dolignan. " What is the matter?" Miss Haythorn. "I am frightened." Dolignan, (moving to her side,) " Pray do not be alarmed, I am near you.". Miss Haythorn. .g You . are near me, very near me indeed, Captain Dolignan." Dolignan. "You know my name I" Miss Haythorn. 4 1 I heard yourfriend men tion it. I wish we were out of this dark place." Dolignan. "I could be content to spend hours here, reassuring you, sweet lady." Miss Haythorn. " Nonsense." Dolignan. Pweep I (Grave reader, do not put your lips to the cheek of the next pretty girl you meet or you will understand what this means.) Miss Haythorn. "Eel Eel Oh I" Friend. "What's the matter, dear ?" Miss Haythorn. ".Open thetloor ! open the door!" There was a sound of hurried whispers, the door was shut, and the blind pulled down with hostile sharpness.' If any critic fails on me for putting inar ticulate sounds in a dialogue as above, I answer with all the insolence I can command at present, "Hit bays 113 big as yourself," bigger, perhaps, such as Sophocles, Euri pides, and Aristopbines ; they began it, and I learned it of them, sore against my will.

He'had never kissed her, I suppose," 'said Dolly. Dolignen could not prove it, - but he felt that somehow the :rights of property .were invaded. He went home and dreamed of 'Miss Haythorn, and hated all the ugly success ful. He spent a fortnight trying to 'dud Out who this beauty was—he never could' eneoun-i ' ter her again. At last he heard of her in this, way : a lawyer's 'clerk paid him a little visit, and conimenced.a little action against him, us the name of Miss Haythorn, for insulting'her in a railway train.- " The young gentleman was shocked; ettdeai ored to soften the lawyer'sclerk; thatraschine did not thoroughly comprehend.the meaning of the term. ,The,lady's name, however, was at least revealed by this untpward accident; from her name to her address was but a Aloft step-, and the same ilaY our crest-fallen , hero lay in wait at her dour.uand many a succeeding day without. effect., Bat one..flne afteraWl she issued -forth quite. uataridly„ as if he did it -every day, and walked briskly op the nearest Parade.

She asked an explana- - tion. He told her of the 'action that had been commenced in her 'name. She gently shrugged her shoulders, and said, Row stupid- they are I" Emboldened by this, he begged to know whether or not a life of distant unpre tending devotioh would, after a lapse of years, erase the memory of his madness—his crime I " She did not know I" "She inuat , now bid hint adieu, as she had some preparstions to make for s hall in the crescent, tyhere everybody uiat, to be.

Miss Haythorn, and he danced with her.- Her manner was gracious. , With *wonderful tact of her sex, she, seemed to hive commenced the acquaintance that evening. That night; forthe first time, Dolignan was in love. I will spare the reader all-a lover's arts, by which he suc ceeded in dining where she dined, in dancing where she danced, in overtaking. her by acci dent when she rode. His devotion followed her even to church, where our dragoon was re warded by learning there isa world where they neither polk nor smoke—the two capital abomi nations of this one. He made acquaintance with her uncle, who liked him, and he saw at last, with joy, that her eye loved. to dwell upon him when she thought he did not observe her. ' It was 'three month, lla the Box Tunnel that Captain Dolignan called one day upon Captain Ilaytliorn, R.N., whom he had met twice In his life, and slightly propitiated by violently listening to a cutting-out expedition ; he called, and, in the usual way, asked permis sion to pay his addresses telfis dabghter. The worthy Captain straightway began doing Quar ter Deck, when suddenly he was summoned from the apartment by a mysterious message. On his return he announced,tvith a total change of voice, that "It was all right, and his visiter might run alongside as soon as he chose." My reader has divined the, truth; this nau tical commander, terrible to the foe, was in complete and happy subjugation to his daugh ter, our heroine. As he was taking leave, Dolignsu saw his divinity glide into the drawing-room. - He fol lowed her, observed a sweet consciousness that encouraged him; that consciousness deepened into confusion: she tried to laugh; she cried instead, and then she smiled again ; and when be kissed her hand at the door, it was " George" and "Marian," instead of Captain this and Miss the other. A reasonable time after this, (for my tale is merciftd, and skips formalities and torturing delays,) these two were very happy; they were once more upon the railroad, going to enjoy their honeymoon all by themselves. - Marian Dolignan was dressed just as before, duck like and delicious, all bright except her clothes; but George sat beside her this time instead of opposite, and she drank him in gently from under her long eye-lashes. Marian," said George, "mar ried people should tell each other all. Will you ever forgive use if I own to you—no--" "Yes! yes ! " , g Well, then! you remember the Box Tun nel ?" (this was the first allusion be hattven tured to it.) lam ashamed to say I had bet £3 to £lO with White I would kiss one of you two lathes," and George, pathetic externally, chuckled within. "I know that, George; I overheard yea ; " was the demure reply. "Oh!you overheard me 7 impossible." "And did you not hear me whisper to my companion ? I made a bet with her." "You made a bet ? how singular! What was it ?" "Only a pair of gloves, George." " Yes. I know, but what about it 7 " " That if you did you should be my husband, dearest." " Oh! but stay; then you could not have been so very angry with me, love. Why, dear est, then who brought that action against me ? " Mrs. Dolignan looked down. "I was afraid you was forgetting ne !" " Sweet angel why here is the Box Tun nel !" Now reader—fie! no! no such thing! You can't expect to be indulged in this way every time you come toil dark place; besides, it is not the thing. Consider, two sensible mar ried people; no such phenomenon, I assure you, took place. No scream rued in hope less rivalry of the engine—ibis time !
