derstand that at their regular meeting on Thurs
day last, the Directors of this institution passed
n resolulion declaring the Bank prepared to
resume specie payments as soon as the same
shall be done by the Banks iu Philadelphia, and
desiring tho co-operation of the cily Banks iu a
general resumption at as early a duy as practica
ble. The Gazette, lust week, adverted to
Judge Jordan's opposition to the Brass and
String Bands occupying iho Stufo llouso

remarks were general, and referred mniuly to
such as might occupy tho room without

Governor Packer enters upon the duties of his

auspices, and there can be no doubt that his ad
ministration will he Creditable nliko lo himself
and lo the Commonwealth.
His views on the Kansas question ara but the
Mprcssion of tho people of Pennsylvania, and
meet with unqualified approbation.
One of the most pleasing incidents of the in
coming and retiring administrations, is the good
feeling that exists and the respect shewn toench
other. On Monday, Governor Pollock aud his
cabinet entertained Gen. Pucker and his cold'
net nt Coverlv'i Hotel. The occasion of the
festival was out f friendly interchanges among
gentlemen who. though they might difier in poll
lies, did net derm it necessary on that account to
sink the more no le ties of friendship.
Tho next day, nftcr the Inaugural ceremo
nies were over, Gen. Packer and catiincl recipro
cated the compliment, !y giving a similar enter
tainment, at Omit's Hotel, to Governor Pollck
and his cabii.ct. Until patties fully appreciated
these civilities, and expressid themselves highly
delighted, the origin of which is highly creditable
to the heads und hearts of the retiring and new
Chief .Magistrates, who wcro born and raised, as
it were, in the same neighharhood. It is but due
t Gov. Pollock and to Colonel l.'urtin, Secreta
ry of the Commonwcnlth, and Mr.Sullivan his
deputy, to say that they retire from office, with
the respect and good withes of all who have cul
tivated their acquaintance.
The lnw just passed to purchase a house
for the Governor, is just and proper. The Gov.
ernor's salary is entirely too low, but I had no
idea that it was so much so, until informed by
Governor Pollock that he relirei from office with
a clear loss, not much short of five thousand dol
lars. And yet Gov. Pollock is known tu be
ptudent man of economical habits.
C-jjT Editorial, Festival. Major Frcas, of
tho Gennautown Tclcyiaph, suggests the
idea of an editorial festival, and proposes
that the first one shall ccmo off at Philadel
phia, say on tho 10th of February next.
Tho idea is a good ono aud should bo carried
out. The Major thiuks tLe only obstacle in
the wny is that delinquent subscribers may
prevent some editors from attending. Y"o

Bank of Danvii.i.e Condition or City
and Country Banks. In our lust issue, we
published a statement of tho affairs of this
Institution, aud staled that the Bai.U was in
a condition to resume specie payments on all
its liabilities nt any tnoiueiit. In fact, tho
Bunk would not have been compelled to sus
pend at all, if its funds hud not been locked
up, to a great extent, in thocity Banks
At a meeting of the Board of Directors on
last Tuesday, the following resolution was
passed, which verifies nil we have said above
'licsolccd, That this Bank will resume spe
cie payments on nil its liabilities whenever
the I liilndelphia Hunks uro ready to resume.
aud thut the Cashier communicate this re
solution to the Philadelphia Banks with tho
request that they will fix upon un early day

Leaving tho impression thut it had only

The Bill bad scarcely received tho signature
of tho Govornof.eic its peculiar inequalities were
observed by these most deeply interested In its
provisions, and in lieu ot a rapid demand tor h
rcnecs under its requirements, a portion only of
those parties dealing iu the trallic, applied for an
interest m its fancied heticlits.
The few who were gulled into an acquiescence
when too late ascertained that they were paying
for privileges which could not bo granted, or iu
other words, that tho license they receive for the
sale of liquoj, gave them no advantage over
their brethren in the same business, who refused
to comply with the law.
Discontent naturally arose at this result, and
the more sober thinking portion ol the communi
ty, many of whom were advocates of a Temper
ance law, joined in a general cut-cry against nn
l.nactmcut so uncqunl and unjust.
We heartily rejoice ti lind that the Mate
I'reasurcr iu his late report, has called tho at
tention of the Legislature to this important sub
ject and as he has expressed our own opinions,
but in more lorciblo manner, then we perhaps
could do, we give the follawing extract, hepiug
that its perusal will convince even the minds of
the most ultra advocates of Temperance, that
the present act is u.terly worthless in its benefits
to morality, ami most illiberal and inequitable
to those parties who aro willing to obey its man
lates.
The Treasurer remarks, that ''largo amounts
of revenue are lout to the Treasury ty the refu
sal of person to apply for tavern license, who
prcler to sell without a license rather than pay
a tax v.lncr does not tully protest t'lem against
competition from those who disregard the law.
it has tKien estimated that there are three unli
censed taverns and eating-houses in Philadel
phia to one which is licensed, and the same may
be said of some of the other cities of the Com
monwealth. Justice to those who are willing
and do pay the tax assessed by the law upon
their business, requires that something should tie
done to protect them in tho enjoyment of their
purchased privilege, or to put them on an equal
ity with those who are allowed lo pursue the
same business without a lax. I would suggest,
a matter of revenue, if not as a matter of right
aud iu.-lice, that (in the cities at least) the law
should be so changed, as to ullow any person of
good morrl character to have a license lor tav
ern, restaurant or beer house, upon paying the
amount which may be assessed upon the house.
A law of this kind, with severe penalties guard
ing the good management and candnct of the
bouse, and also against those who violate its pro
visions by a sale of liquor without license, would
not, in my judgment, increase the number of
bouse of the kind, or the number of persona
who now frequent thorn. It would put all on
an equality, and the licensed would take care that
the revenue should not be defrauded bv the un
licensed who would come into competition W illi
their business. In this way, all engaged in the
tratlic would be under the law and subject to it
penalties."

Mias Mary K. Smith I am a sister of the
defendant j he i older than I om ; I wns a
teacher in the Young Ladies' Seminary in
Mimingtonj Miss mctjauiiy was a pupu
thero: she was placed thero by Mr. Carter
in April, 1R5G ; I communicoiod to my bro
ther the circumstances in which s!ib was pla
ced there j my brother first saw her in May,
185C ; hu came to visit me from a Hotituern
tour ; after relating some of the incidents ol
his tour, ho spoke ot some length of the
Southern ladies, comparing them with those
of the North; he said that in selecting a
companion for life he thought ho would not
choose one from either extreme, but would
take ono from tho keystone State ; she would
be moro apt to combine tho excellent quail
ties ol the two sections, the warmth of tho
South and the strength of tho North j just
at that moment of our conversation n youug
h.dy entered tho parlor with her music, from
tho" music hall j 1 remarked that a reniif sJ
vfiniun was then approaching, and I would in
troduce her to him ; that young ludy was
Miss Elizabeth tl. Mct'oully j ho inquired
where she was from, who had placed hor in
thu institution, and my opinion of her ; 1 told
him she was tho daughter of Mr. John Mc
Cuully, of V illiesbarrn, a gentleman of respec
tability, as I had learned, but of limited cir
cumstances ; thut the had been placed in the
institution by his ftiotid, and moro successful,
Mr. Hiclnud Curler, of Tumnqna ; as to my
opinion of her, my opportunities of knowing
her intimately were too limited to speak very
definituly, shu having been iu tho Institution
but about six weeks, but she possessed ana
he could observe au easy address ; was pos
sessed or generous impulses, and so fur as I
could leurn, nn amiuble disposition ; we spent
a few moments in social conversation, step
ped on to the veranduh to listen to tho music
when we were joined by another f f the fe
male ieachers j nftcr about ten minutes the
teacher nnd Miss McCtiully withdrew;!
had introduced him to her ; my brother and
myself returned to the ptulur ; he remarked,
that girl suits my fancy, und I will make her
my wife if I can get her ; 1 considered il but
a playful remark, and paid but little utteution
to it ; be left the next day ; 1 saw him the
following August in New York city ; 1 was
there on a visit; amongst other things Miss
McCuully had requested me to inquire of him
whether he bad received a letter which she
hud addressed to him a low weeks before ; he
wim delighted, and inquired whether she had
really written to him ; 1 told him I had no
knowledge of the fact, but merely delivered
tho message; ho replied to the letter, direct
ing to the euro of Mr. Carter, at Tamaqu.i ;
he eiiid he had not received her letter, but he
would write; I saw him again in October, nt
tho College in Wilmington ; ho communicu
ted lo me then thut he was ongapod to be
murried ; 1 inquired of him what Northern
lady had bo suddenly changed his opinions;
he replied by telling me ho wus engaged to
Miss McCuully; she wus at the College at
Christine ; I was greotly surprised nt this an
nouncement, and remarked to him that he felt
much less solitude for this future welfare
than I did for him ; thut that act indicated to
my mind the lack of that truly womanly deli
cacy that wos so essential in the selection of
a companion to one of his refined sensibilities;
and 1 should thiult any gentleman or lady
would be unwilling to stake their all of future
happiness ou fifteen minutes with a stranger;
I received on invitation from my brother to
spend Thanksgiving day in 1'hiladolghia,
2tith Oct., Ifi7 ; Miss McCaully wus also
coming to tho city to spend 1 hanksgtving
day at the Union Hotel, with Mr. and Mrs.
Cutter: I found tnv brother at his hotel, the
Madison House; Miss McCaully cntr.o up in
tho next troin ; my brother went to the do
pot to meet her, and brought her to the Ma
dison House, to my surprise. My brother,
Miss McCuully and myself mudo a visit to a
friend of mine in Chestnut street, und on our
return we met M r. Carter ; beseemed lobe
pleased to meet Miss McCuully, and wos then
introduce to my brother for the lirst time;
he ficcompauied us to tho Madison House
and spent ihe evening with us ; before he
left, 1 inquired of my brother whether he
would uot invite Mr. Corter to dino with us
the next day ; he said he would be perfectly
willing to do so, if Mr. Carter would not
think he was Irving to gain his fuvor; he
slid he would do it us uu act of courtesy, on
my suggestion ; Mr. Carter caino next day,
with a friend, uamed Barrel, whom he hud
invited with him ; alter dinner that day, Miss
McCaully, pointing to a riug she wore on her
finger, roniuikcd to Mr. Curler, "That is my
engagement ring with Tom ;" und 1 think she
added, "We will be married by Christmas;
Mr. Carter smiled pleasuutly, which might
bo tuketi for a pleased absent or a passing
joke ; 1 saw Mr. Carter on ihe 12th of le
eemb'Jr, ut Jones' hotel, in this city ; my bro
ther was with mo; the noxt day 1 had an in
terview with Mr. Carter, by request ; 1 ac
companied kirn to my brothel's hotel, uud he
repeated in substance the communications
that 1 had made to Mr. Carter ; ho said ho
learned itcn tho following Tuesduv, 10th l'e-
cember, that 1 had urged a postponement cf
of it at U-usl till the coming vacation, or
Christmas holidays; Mr. ('alter united with
me in the roq.ienl that It should be postpon
ed till Christina", lis he would be iincca'surily
absent till about thut time, that he desired
to be present at the inurriage, inasmuch as
such an event seldom occurred more than
once in a niuu'a lifetime, v.o niiyht as well
make merry of it ; M r. Carter was thru in
form! ,1 ol the tour which they proposed tak
ing nfti.r itisirriuge ; he requested that they
should take Tumaquu in the route aud pay a
visit to his bouse ; lifter Mr. Carter left the
Madison House, my brotht r inquired of me
as to the nature of my interview with Mr.
Carter ; 1 replied that 1 feured they had not
mudo as forma! an announcement to Mr.
Cutter as the circumstances cf the cose might
require, which led me to seek the interview
with him ; told my brother 1 had called by
appointment of Mr. Carter; my lirst iuqniry
of him was us to whether Miss McCaully had
net previously acquainted him with the ob-
ded, I could consider no inducements for run
away matches, except in case of violent op
position ( that Miss McCuully had held nut
the idea of wedding her to a nephew of M r.
Carter's t that Mr. Carter's prejudices in that
matter had so for yielded as to permit an al
liance with my brother. I romorkerl to Mr.
Carter that 1 had no knowledge on that sub-
jact further than I had obtained through Miss
McCaully. lie replied tnai no uau mn mu
slightest objection to my brother, and if they
had made a full statetneut of the ense, he
would have given up Miss McCaully to my
brother with the greatest confidence j thut
ho was favuvorubly impressed with his busi
ness qualities, aud formed qnito o liking for
