Important atudiciatnecision.
The cipinion of the eourtin the casoof Lung vs.
the Farmers Bank of Reading, says the Reading
Journal, was delivered by .the Hon. hum BINICR,
od the 20th iffit.''As the 'questiotis involVed are'
of iniperiariee, arid havo excited much attention
in the cimmunity; we giVe aril abetted of the
case, regretting that our iiinits will notperruit us,
;this weelt;to give Iheopinion of the court at length.
I 'VVeMoy however remark that like all the opie •
ions of Judge Banks, this is remarkably well writ.
ton, clear, and conclusive.
It appeared from the . testimony, that the .corn.
plalnant after iniiinber of inelfeetual application's'
(as the bank ,was not then discounting), had his
note fin;s2oo, payahla in CO days discounted et
the Farmers -Rank, on the 9th of April 1842,with.
Che express undorstnnding.that the note wax to he
paid at maturity. When the note was dtie;the
I . . tins eyed to pay $lO and have it renew
ed which was refit: ed,and finally suit was brought
upon die note. Long brotight then snit—against
the bank, on several of its notes, and presented
two 810 notes and dEinstaded specie in payment.
The cashier, replied that "ivt;on he settled his old
acdounOte'hould be paid him. • .* Theso ai:o the
principatfiets of the'case.
The point decided by the court may be stated
as follows •
1. Aniudividual indebted to a bank on a note
discounted; at his instance, due and s payahle bag
no right to denand'of the bank gold or silver for
an amount lese.than tho note, and 'a refusal of the
bank to pay the . Individual gold or ailver under
works. no forfeiture of its
charter under theist section of tho act of 12th
2d: The act of May 4th, IR4I, (providing for,
theissue of relief notes) when accepted of by a
bank, and its proportion of the State loan taken
and paid into the State treasury, as therein pro.
'tided, is .legislattre contract,! and as such bind.
s ing botwe'en the Striteand-this hank; until fuitlier
legislative action and until the legislature shall
hu've provided for the riparymint of the loan au
thorised in the Ist section of •suid Act.
3d. The Act of 12th March, MO; (the Re.
sumption Act) does not embruce williin its first
and second Sections, those banks . Mile!) accepted
Of and have Complied with the provisions of the
aetvf - May4tli; - 1841—the penalty for their non

viz f that tbey'shap not have execution on judg,

Tdmake earth echo with the joy - of, waves.
And Summer, with its dews and showers,lins gone

Like spirits of the storm—its peaceful lakes
Smiling in their sweet sleep, as if their dreams
Weir of the opening flowers, and budding trees
And overhanging sky—and its bright mists
Reeling upon the mountain tops Rs crowns
Upon the heads of giants. Autumn, too,
Has gime with all its deeper glnaies,-=gone
With its green hills, like altars of the world
Lifting their fruit-offerings to their God—
Its cold winds straying mid the forest aisles
To nuke their thousand wind-harps—its seme
And holy sunsets hanging o'er the West,
Like banners from the buttlenients of Ileaven--
And its still evenings, when the moonlit sea
Was ever throbbing, like the living heart
Of the great Universe: Aye—these are now , •

A,nd they are gathered to the embrace of Death, - -

about three montliseince, with a crew of eighty
apprenticea,"'eighteen ordinary seamen, and'im
orderly Sergeant Of fifaiiitea.who acted' s Master.:
at- q rms. She was cominanded by Monter Com:
mandant McKenzie, ,well known' to the
Navy' ad one of our 'Meal' exemplary . orders, acid.
to thejiterary world, as the,otither of anYear
Spain." Her Officers consisted of Lieutenant
Gansevoort, of Alhany,,and five or six' Midship
men, among Whom . was Philip. Spencer, son of
the Seeretary. ' of War 'and two sons Of Comm.,.
.dore Perry. • • - ''•
fleving delivered the desmitcheevvith-which-he
was charged, to the commanding . officer on the
coast of Africa, Captain McKenzie sailed forthia
port with the publicly avowed intention of touch.
ng at St Thomas for pro - visions,-prevnitis
on Coast at this season of the year. A day
or two previous to December let, and when the
vessel was within five or six hundred miles from
St..Thanias,lN idahipnian Spencer hinted ii part of ,
his plans to Mr. Wales, the Purser's Stewart, who
affected a heartren-operation,limk an oath are.
coy, &c., which Spencer administered to him, -
.when he was made more fully acquainted with -1
the plan of the mutineers. •
They had arranged to raise a scuffle on the fore
castle some night after leaving St Thomas, while
the deck was in charge of Midshipman ogers,
a nephew of the late Commodore !Edgers ; and
when the
-men engaged_in it would of.course be
ordered aft to adeount for the cause' of the •
.turbance, and Mr. Rogers wasthus engaged;
they were to seize, gyi and throw him overboard;
With as little melee as possible.. Spencer was then.
to enter the cabin and kill Captain McKtnzle
and others Were appointed to be stationed at the
main hatch, through which the crew must, pass to
get on deck, and at the steerage hatch,- through
which all the officers except the Captain-must
pass. All - the officers, except the Surgeon, were
to be.murdered and thrown overboard; -and the
crew, who were below, were to be - mustered on
deck. The two after guns were to be pointed for.
ward, to sipire the Mutineers from an attack,and
such of' the crew who had not joined, but who
then elected to come in with them, were to be ad
mitted, while the others
,werc to be thrown over
board. • -7. -- •
They were then to get Out all the boats and
lighten the vessel; after which they to make for
the isle of:Pinehi° where they' Were-to meet a ems:
federate. .• They'Were then to; cruise in search of
merchant vessels, trading between- this pea and
Europe ; which eller being plundered, and the
males on board killed, were to be indiscriminate
ly sunk:. and if there' chanced to be unyfemiles,
they were to be taken on board the Somers, viola.
ted, and retained so long as the Pirates might de
sire, when they also were to be committed to the.
deep! Thearrangements Ter the division of the
;pas, the allotment of the female;, the varibus
officers on board, &c. ' were all completed, .and
drawn op in in Spencer's hantl.toriting
4id he assured Mr._ Walesthathe had twenty of
the crew with him sure.
From the moment Spencer made - the above cit.. *
crupstances known to Mr. Wales, he was watch.
ed with Argua,eyea by Samuel Cromwell, boats.
wain's mate, and Elisio' Small, seaman, who were
the principal ringleaders with Spencer, and who
threatened to throw him overheard, the moment
they saw .the least' signs of defection' in him, or,
had the least cause to suspect that he had made or
intended to make any disclosures to any person.
Mr. Wales not 'daring to communicate with
Capt. McKenzie,' made all the circumstances as
detailed by Midshipman Spencer, known to the
Purser, Who promptly conveyed the intelligence
to Capt.. McKenzie, when measures were immedi:
ately taken to ascertain the truth of the case.—
Spencer's papers were thereupon' examined, and
All the details of their - plans as narrated by Wales,
were fully eoqfirmed. Spencer, Etromwell and
Small, were' then secured, and 'air hands being
mustered on deck, Capt,Kimzie_addreesed them
on the subjeef of the proposed mutiny, apprising
them that all plans of the mutineers had been die.
covered and frustrated, and Warning them of the
corieenuencea,of any similar attempt.' • - •-•-
Captain McKenzie 'then addressed n circular
letter to each of the officers on board the vessel,
except the acting Midshipman, requesting their,
opinion as to the course of conduct which should
be pursued towards Spencer and the two men who
had been arrested with him.. Each one returned
for answer that they deserved immediate death,
and Capt. McKenele's opinion' coinciding with
that of his officers, itplui determined to catty the
punishment into immediate erecution. All hands
were accordingly called to Witness,punishment.—
Whips were theu'rove trt-eech end, of the , fore.
gird aim, and rine on the, inner part of the yard.
..'The prisoners were then brought 'on 'dear and in.'
formed of the punishment ,about to be.executed
upon them.- Small at once fully confessed his
fault, and asked Meat Penitently the' fiirgiVenesi ,
of his cornmanderand the officers. which at once
accorded to him. He then obtained permitedon,to

ard, let a substantlividence of the approbation
or his conduct be presented in 'a way which 'shall

We can feel for, and sympathise with Captain
McKie:nits on theyiecu - !Mr position he occupies for
the, rightful exercise of a feartul responsibility ; ,
but be god his friends shotild find their consolation
in the conviction, that he has nobly discharged his
duty underilte.most trying Circumstances, and in
the deliberate opinion of his' fellow citizens who,
have heard the factwof the mute, and perceive in
his conduct nothing but the deielopment of quali.
ties Which Wilirenderins name, and fame as - dear

itself: .
.We would for various reasons, say as little be
possible of the youth who has
.vo justly met his
fate; but it is well known that he woe a had fel.
lew, and that when he:joined the Somers he' had
been sent home from the' • Brazil Squadron, by
Commodore MORS'S, under a solemn promise that
be would resign and leave the Navy to avoid being
brought below a Court Martial. It is apparent
that he had the head to plan and the hand to axe..
cute any crime; and there is consequently, no
entitle to regret-his fate. '
Capt.-McKenzie, accompanied by all o ffi cers
and crew, attended Divine service yesterday
,at
Brooklyn, to return thanks to an all wise Provi
dence_ for their escape from the dangers to which
they have been exposed... -.- •
P. S. The mutiny, we believe, watt discovered
to Capt. McKenzie.on the 29th of November. and
the culprits executed on UM let-December: ' This
sad alternative, we have reason to suppose, was
expedited by a movement among the disaffe cted
which looked like an attempt to rescue. .
The summary exet ution appears to be justified
by the extreme emergency' of the case. There
could have been no security while the ringleaders
were alive, that they would not have been rescuad
'at all their hellish purposes been effected, 'Their
'guilt was Manifest and confessed, and the punish.
meet is prescribed irellie ace of 1801, , which
makes it a capital offence even to be cognizant of
an 'intended mutiny Without -giving information
of it. There were but two commiseioned-officers
lon board, and the law reqoiredfiee to constitute it
court martial. It became the duty, therefore, of
the commander to decide, and his whole life, and
hie known christian character, warrants a strong
presumption that-he exercised the fearful reopen.
