S. Sank. It appears from the statement, which was published in this p.iper of the 15th that the balance againat "Jiaring, Mothers London, waa, on the 1st of August, 4,261,201 dollars. Thia, in pluin LnglUh, ia the amount of British Exchange, which the Hank has purchased on speculation, and remitted to its agents in otidon, and for which the Bunk can draw, whenever the price becomes so high, that a satisfactory profit etui be made by it. A considerable poition was no doubt purchased at 2 or 3 per cent, discount, and perhaps at a lower rate and prob ublv none waa taken at a price above par.

About half a million was purchased during tlte month of July. Thus, while tho Pank has been diminishing ita loans, and iucrcasing ita specie, measures, which Mr Biddle were necessary, iti order "to provide for the safety nnd to maintain the credit of tho Bank' and whieh, he also saya, "were as painful to the Board of Directors as to the community il haa, it seems, been in the first place, 1v Its "necessary running down the price of F.xchnnge, compelling the holders, by the torture of its thumb screics, to sell at any ptice nnd then, when reduced to its lowest rate, it privately buys up, at that lowest rate, all It can procure, to tho amount of no less a sum than four millions of dollars and upwards A very fine speculation this.

The price this fall and winter will, no doubt, be much higher and king Nicholas will not sell, till the rate is at its mcxitnum. How long will tho merchants, the shippers of produce, the growers of cotton, advocate and support an institution, a voracious, blood thirsty, unfeeling monster, which is gnawing into their very vitals, and constantly eucking from iheiu their cry life's blood? How long will they tolerate an unpiincipled monied corporation, which can and does, at its pleasure make money scarce nnd reduce the prices of all property, and then, by mo op.diing certain species of property, raise the price ag.an, and sell hi an immense profit thus levying con tuhutioiw upon the industry of the community, to be divid.

A Committee of the State Convention now in session at Nashville, was appointed to consider and report the most suitable manner of testifying the respect of that body for the distinguished guest of the State. This Committee subsequently reported an Address the President, in which his many services are very hand omely recapitulated, and which embraced a resolution that "the Convention will adjourn its ordinarv for the purpose of meeting and receiving in the Hall of the Convention, the President of the United States, and that the President of die Convention be requested to carry this resolution into effect." Tho President's reply is peculiarly happy, and concludes with an assurance that he will embrace an early opportunity of visiting Nashville, for the purpose of paying ha personal respects to the members of the Convention.

Mary Orrintun had the misfortune to incur the ill will of a constable some months since, by promising to testity againat a frail sister, upon condition that he should not compluin againat her, as a contrabandist hut when brought to the stand, and the oath duly administered, ahe had never seen any thing in the conduct of her fair compeer, to uaeher own language "that I ahould call out of the way." Afier having called her for a witness in behalf of his own prosecution, Mr. Officer could not with propriety, turn round and prosecute her for out genera lling him on the spot, but has kept a constunt watch for her since, and yesterday morning she was brought in, and, to avoid too glaring an expose, and to deprive the officer of an opportunity of gratifying his Indian memory, she pleaded guilty, and received a sample of the Coart's mercy, in the shape of five months. The following official account of Mr Durant's ascension on Monday, we copy from the evening papers of Tuesday: To the Editors of the Evening Papera i Gentlemen The delightful weather yesterday after noon, enabled me to anticipate the hour of departure from the amphitheatre, though a delay of a few minntes been W1 yet with every rrty 8UC lavornwe weather, 1 deemed it best to unmoor, test a flaw of wind should rupture the oanoon, or some uniormnnie event should cause a de lay, or perhaps entire fuilure, for in thia situation, while retained by cords on the earth, the balloon is much more liable to accident than while floating in the air. The balloon was in perfect condition, and the decomposition of the water, in consequence of very good mato yials, was entirely successful, and met my most sanguine expectations.

Seeing the amphitheatre well filled at that early hour, I deemed it best to unmoor, and accordingly severed the last cord at 31 minutes past 4, by my time, and the balloon rose in beautiful style, though with more buoyancy than I deemed necessary, and I opened the valve to avoid the upper and more westerly current, which was settinglowards the ocean. Before I could stop the i upward motion oi me Dai loon, found myself in this current, though the wind was here so light that I was I uniiosi stationary, moving to the eastward, though so slowly as to require one hour at least lo attain a sufficient easterly position to allow the rabbit and parachute to reach Boston. As I was then over the Back Bay, I judged the best plan to give the spectators a view of the descent of the rabbit, would be to keep in the lower current, and thus reach the land on the western side of the Back Bay At 4h 49m 1 judged myself sufficiently over the land, and let go the rabbit. The barometer then stood at 26.02, the thermometer 68 deg in four minutes after, I saw him land. A number of persons, on foot and in carriages, hastened to the spot, and caught the parachute before it touched the earth.

Finding there was not sufficient wfnd to wait me a great distance, I judged it would be most interesting to keep as low as possible, to afford the spectators a distinct view of the oerbstat, and by occasionally letting off gas and ballast, I was enabled to keep so low as to hear distinctly the remarks of the inhabitants below. The roads appeared lined with carriages, hastening towards Cambridge for which place my course was directed, and with so little wind I judged it practicable with assistance to return to Boston, with the balloon inflated. I accordingly made preparations to descend, and at 14 minutes past 5, I passed over Mount Auburn, sufficiently low to have anchored, but seeing a clear field beyond, I let go the anchors in the road, a short distance from the house of Mr. Bird. A number of gentlemen came to my assistance is a few seconds, and having tripped the anchors I started for Boston with the balloon inflated, but had progressed only a few hundred feet when I found the resistance which the balloon made to the wind, and the probable injury to the numerous equipages which were now collected, (by frightening the horses) rendered it prudent to exhaust the balloon of its gass.

I was conducted to a grass field on the side of the road, where I was rendered every assistance to fold the balloon, which is not injured in the least degree. By this time a great many equipages had arrived from Boston, and I had the pleasure of a seat in the chaise with my friends, Mr. Town and Mr. whom I had left one hour, before in the Amphitheatre. 1 arrived at the Tremont a few minutes past 6, enjoying my usual good health and spirits.

I feel uuder many obligations to the gentlemen who kindly assisted me to alight and convey my apparatus to the city, and likwise to those who assisted me at the Amphitheatre, and to the citizens generally for their many marks of polite attention.

Alabama. This State has done its duty moat nobly. The coalition of Nationals and Nullifiera, which, it was supposed, with the co operafion of the Bunk, would make a most formidable impression, is defeated. It was hoped, by these nllias, that the President's fearless discharge of his duties during the troubles last winter, in this State, would enable them to crush the democracy in the election just past, and supplant Mr. King in the Senate of the nited Stutea.

Hia colleague in the Senate, Gabriel Moons, has hitherto been somewhat cautious, when among hia constituents, in denouncing the President, boldly took to the field ou his late return to Alabaiiis and at a Bank Jubilee dinner, at which an otlicer of the Bank presided, assailed the Adminis irauon in a strain which showed his confidence of the success of the coalition.

After eivine a long account of the "in tluvnre were brought to bear with some effect, in favor of me cause oj inc union Democrats, he concludes thus "These facts, however, do not in our opinion, afford any cause of discouragement to the friends of constitutional liber, ty. They indeed may assure us that an overlv popular Ps dent, possessing military fame, especially if he be of an impatient and ambitious temper, si a most dangerous thing; iu our republic." A fter these melancholy admissions from the coalition organ, it is hardly necessary to enter into the details of the defeat presented in the Flag of the Union. It gives a list of tho elected Union men, with the votes in the counties of Tuscaloosa and Pekins, showinc a maioritv of two to one. It then gives a list of upwards of thirty Union men elected in other counties and only two Nullifiers, or coalition candidates, are reported as sue? cessful. In Illinois, all, as far as we have received returns, goes well for the democracy.

Gen. Duncan and Mr. Kenney were both run as Jackson candidates. Gen. D.

was always elected as such to Congress. His late course in proposing a bank has, we understand, given some dissatisfaction. The friends of the Administration, as far as we have information, have been successful in the Congressional elections. InJYorth Carolina, our intelligence is, that the democracy supporting the President will return their usual majority to the State Legislature. The Richmond Whig and the National Intelligencer says it is no test! In Indiana, there are no congressional elections this year.

Noble, the former Governor, is re elected first as a. Clay man. The following article from the Kentucky Gazette, confirms a statement which we heard sometime ago, viz that Mr. Noble had given up Mr. Clay and declared himself for Col.

Johnson and this accounts for the fact that the Jackson candidates for the Legislature were successful in many counties where Noble earned large majorities. The Gazette says "Gen. Noble is nn dnuht wtttaA tji rein receiveu. uen. is a warm supporter of Col.

Johnson for the next Presidency." It will be remembered, that Indiana has never given a vote in a national contest against the democratic candidate. She will he found steadfast to her principles in the next Presidential contest. nru .1. Disturbances in a Church The Reformed Scotch Presbyterian Chutch, in Chamber street, has, we understand, for some time past, been involved in the discussion of queslions concerning ecclesiastical preferments and temporalities, in the Court of Chancery of this State. The Chancellor, (as may be seen by his opinion lately published in the Evening Post,) dissolved an injunction granted by the Vice Chancellor of this Circuit, restraining the adherents of the late Dr McLeod and his son to the use of the Church only every alternate Sabbath, und by the reversal granting to them the sole and exclusive possession of the Church and its temporalities.

From this decision the opposite party have appealed to the Court of Errors, and contending that this appeal is a suspension of the effect of the Chancel jui uccision, ana a revival of tlie injunction, they yes terday, at au early hour, vi et arrnis. with crowbars uu ciuus, oroae open and entered the Church, which had been locked and double bolted and barred by the McLeod party, and having effected admission, went through the ordinary ceremonials of Divine Service Y. Times. The Whig Nullifiers are particularly distressed at the omission of the inscription 'E pluribus unura" from the new gold half eagles. If the translation given by tie Whig journals be correct 'W ar one," the feelings of the Nullifiers must have been greatly outraged by the omission So far from baing "one," if Nullification I I a 1 coma oe pustiedto its ultimatum, we should be at least twenty four separate, rival, conflicting, and certainly very miserable "sovereignties." llbany Argus.

The last report of the Albany Board of Health, mentions only one death by cholera, and consider it no longer necessary to make daily reports. Three or four cases have occurred in the city of Washingtonand, indeed, in every place we hear from, but the disease does not produce a panic any where as formerly. At Montreal on the 20th, there were only 19 cases and 7 deaths. A duel took place at Lynchburg, Va. between William W.

Lambert and William W. ftavis. The meeting was caused by a communication made by the latter through the Uichmond Enquirer under the head of 'Lex The challenge was sent by the former. Mr Davis received the fire of his opponent, and then discharging hi pistol in the air, advanced and remarked, "I now feel justified to myself in making a proper apology to you." The affair was then satisfactorily settled. UUU VI HflIUWitj5 Mill.
