(For Haszard's Gazette.) To IIrs I:Ixcitr.r.s:Ncv-_S_ru ALIIANDII. BAN- ruuur.

Sir;

I shall now point out the difference between Joint Stock Banks and Private Banks, and the advantages of the former over the latter in reference to tho secur- ity and welfare of the public.

'l‘he chief points of difference between a Joint Stock and a Private Bank are: the number of part- ners,—the permanency of capital,--and the form of government.

A Joint Stock Bank has invariably fired capital, and n numerous body of proprietors, who, while all individually interested in the prosperity of the Bank, have no individual control in its management. A Private Bank may consist ofaue or two pnitncni,witlr a capital varying according to the wealth or conve- nience of the partners. of which the public have no means of acquiring correct information.

Ifa partner withdraws from a Joint Stock Ilank, it is by the sale and transfer of his shares to some other party.—but the capital of the Bank is not alfected, but remains as before; while one or more of the part- ners ofu Private Bank may withdraw from it without the public being cognizant of the "act—|.vaviug only men of straw to represent the llank to the public,iind the result iii, wide.spreading distress and ruin to its confiding customers.

In it Joint Stock Bank, the paid up capital is kept, and exclusively applied to the use of the customers of the Bank, in the legitimate purposes of banking; bu, there is no restriction on the partners of it Private

unit to prevent them engaging in hazardous specula- tions, which may not only draw largely on the means, but cripple the resources ofthe Bank in times of com- mercisl distress. when most required for the public use

The government of a Joint Stock Bank is vested in a Board of Directors, chosen annually by the general body of shareholders, and they are sworn to secrecy as to the ufl'airs of the Bank that may be brought be- fore thsru. They should be men of experience, in any circumstances. and not in the way of requiring bank accommodation themselves. In a Private Bank all the partners may attend to the administration ofits affairs, and thus gain an unfair knowledge of the bus- iness trsnsactions of its customers, which nisy be turned to their own advantage in their individual capacity.

In other respects. the business principals are the aims, and the observations in my former letter apply equally to bolls.

I need hardly stats to your Excellency, that so highly are the superior advantages of Joint Stock Banks appreciated in Scotland, that every Private Bank in that country has ceased to exist, having iriost ofthsm merged into the Joint Stock Banking Com- panies; while such an event as the failure ofa Joint Stock Bank is happily as yet unknown.

I leave the public to judge, from the foregoing remarks, which they conceive to be most conducive to the prosperity of this rising Colony: a properly constituted Joint Stock Bank, with an adequate paid up capital, and governed by Directors on the spot; or a Private Bank, ofa limited nurriber of partners, who may withdraw the whole or any part of their capital at their own convenience, and over whom the public have no control. But that one or other of them is imperatively called for in Charlottetown, is strongly demonstrated by the present distreuing state of the circulation. and the immense influx of Bank paper from the adjoining Colonies—which, besides the loss and inconvenience to the public, layl them open to fraud and forgery.

I"rorn enquiries I have made, and the information in my possession, on this subject, I have no hesitation in coming to the conclusion that. under the fostering auspices of your Excellency, the establishment of a Bank in Charlottetown would be of easy accomplish- nteut,and meet with immediate and general support.

I have heard at rumor, that a Branch of one of the Banks of Nova Scotia is to be established here. I"rnm my experience of Branch Banks, I should say, that a Branch Bank of that Province would not suit the wants of this Island. and in times of distress Prince Edward Island would assuredly be treated as an alien.

Yours respectfully,

snrr-ort’s nrtawsa. (From Harper's New Monthly Magazine.)

A correspondent sends ns, as his “ depo- sit” for the " Drawer,” the following:

" Some two miles distant from our city, there resides a physician, somewhat noted for his penurious manner of dealing with all those who may chance to fall into his

ractice.’ Let me cite one of the man incidents relating to this gentleman, whic has happened during his residence here:

" Some time since, in settling on account with one of his neighbours, the following items were rendered in his bill. It should be mentioned that he had a field of back- wheat immediately adjoining his lricnd’s

house: M Mr.————— ~ To Dr.~—,Dr. 9“ To posturing Boos on Buckwheat, from June to Septent r . . ._ . . ‘“ To time spent In watching said __-’s Bees. 3 00 $3 63

" Such an account was of course refused payment; but the Doctor carried it up into . ‘the courts,‘ one oller another, but, after r all, had the pleasure of paying all the costs, l besides bearing the. odinin attached to such ‘

Itltsll p

Now this, which we are assured by our

correspondent is true in tall respects, is only.

equaled by it like story ofa somewhat simi- lar physician, in acct-tain town in the region of“ l)owu East,” which shall for the present he niiirieloss. The story is entirely outlier)- tie, and istold in the dialect of tlioscpni-ts by it simple-rniuilcd narrator:

“I ’xpect you've heat-'n tell of Dr. , hniu't you?”

“ No, I never have."

“Well, then, I'll tell you. You see, one day I met the Doctor at Sinipkin’s store, n-liuyiti’ sortie ;_vr~occrics. It was nwlul cold. I felt it little hoarse, and my, tongue was dreadfully fiirrcd tip. So says I to the Doctor, says I:

“‘ My head feels it little achoislt, like: ivhut do you think I hail better do?‘

“ ‘ Why, li-icrid S——,’ says tho Doctor, says llC, ‘the best thing you can do is to go liouic and soak your foot, and take it sweat; ‘cause if you tluu'l,‘ says he, ‘like ns not you may have I]. fever.‘

~‘ Says I, ‘Doctor, I was just a-thinkin’ that :1 little sweat would do rue good, and I guess I’ll go home and try it right away.’

“ Well, ldid; I went home. and took it bowl-full oi tansy-tea, bitter as gall, and if I didn’t sweat like a beaver, 'tain’t no matter. The next morning uiy head was as clear as a bell, and I was as good as ever I was.

“ \‘\'ell, a day or two nllei-ward I met the I)m-.tor; and after it little talking, says the Doctor, says he:

“ ‘ Noiglilioirr J ag’iu you .’

“ I looked at him dual, and says I, ‘./1 bill, Doctor?’ _

“ ‘ Yes,‘ says he, ‘ a bill foryou know, at Simpkiu‘s store the other day.’

" W'liat do you think he had gone and done? He'd act’ally charged me tew dol- lars for telling me to go home and take a sweat, which I was just going to do myself.

“‘ \Vo||, Doctor,’ says l(for I didn’t want to appear small, you‘ know), ‘ it’s all right; I’ll bear it in mind.’

“ Well. a few days alii-.r',‘tlu-_ Doctor was pouring by my door in his-~ cliuise, and somehow or ’uothor one of the wheels got it little loose; so says I, ‘Doctor, el' you don’t drive that lincli-pin in an inch or so, that wheel will come off.’

“Says he, ‘Thank you,’ and he took a stun and'driv in the pin.

“ VVell, I went into the house and jest made a charge of it; and when he came along the next time I presented him the bill:

“‘ Hello!’ says the Doctor, says be: what on nirth is this for?’ says he.

“ ‘ Why, it's for advice,‘ says I.

“ ‘ Advice!’ says ho—“wliat advice? I hain’t had none 0’ your advice.’

“ ‘ VVhy, for driving in your wheel-pin, and I’ve only clrnr-gt-tl you two dollars twenty-five cents; and cfl lindu’t given you the advice, it might have cost you twenty times as much.’

“ ‘ Well,’says the Doctor, ‘the difference between your bill and iuinc is just twciity- five cents.’

“ ‘ 'I‘hat’s all you owe me,’ says I.

“ ‘ Well, I’ll bear it in mind,’ says he.

“ And I ’xpcct he will: he's as tight as it candle-mould, the Doctor is, and I guess he is able to bear it in iniu !"

\Vc confess to ll degree of pleasure in the perusal of these “ diamond-cut-dim mond” anecdotes. 'I‘hey indicate that order of “ compensation in nature,” by which meanness so often is “ ovcrcouic of itself." And, in‘ this connection, we will close with “ one more of the same sort,” which is related of it Mr. S , an honest and highly-estcomcil grocer, for many years a resident of one of the larger towns of New Hampshire:

It seems that a man had purchased some wool ofhim, which had been weighed and paid for. and Mr. S———hnd one I0 the desk to get change for it note which had been handed to him by his “ciistomer-." Wliilc standing at his desk, he happened to turn his head, and saw, in s looking-glass which was supended near him, a stout arm reach up and take down from the shelf ti heavy " white-oak” cheese and deposit it in the bag!

Instead of appearing suddenly, and re- baking the man for his theft, as many a less reflecting person would have done, thereby losing his custom forever,'the crnlty old gentleman gave the thief his change, as if nothing had happened, and then, under the pretense oflilling the bug to lay it on his horse for him, he took hold of it, and sud- denly exclaimed:

“ Why, bless me! I must have reckoned the weight wrong!”

“ Oh, no," said his “ customer," “ that can't be so, because I counted with you, you know."

“ Well, well,” said Mr. S-—, “ we won't dispute about the matter, it is so easily settled by just putting the bag in the scades again," which be preceded at once to do.

“ There," said he, "I told you so. I lltougt I must be ri ht. I made a mistake of nearly twenty ands’: however, if you

Tan Duo or -rur: Mr:ni-ranni.vr:.m.-- The whole channel of the Mediterranean must be sti-owed with human boncs. Cur- tlingoniana, Syrians, Sidouians, Egyptians, Persians Greeks and Romans-—tlier-e they lie, side by side, beneath the eternal. wu- ters; and the modern ship that. fetches freight from Alexandria, sails in its.whoIc course over buried nations. -It may be the corruption nf the dead that now odds bright-. ness to the phosphorescence of the waves. In the East they have a. superstition on this subject, which represents the spirits of the departed as hovering, whether on load or water, over the spots where-the ruins of their earthly tnbernaclcs are found; so that, in ploughing the l\'lt-tlitci-i-aiicnu, we sail tlu-oagli armies of ghosts iiioi-c miiltitutliii- one titan the waves. It is their union and throiiging rogctlier’ snys'thc Orientals, that constitute the phosphorescent: oftlic sen.

Tris Sxarts Nu'r.—among the many no- velties in the vegetable kingdom which Southern and Central America have oflnte ‘years revealed, the snake nut is certainly the most cxtroardiuary. This is n produc- tion not unlike the English walnut cxlcr- rinlly, but smaller and smoother, ;altliou'gh ofiiesrly the same color. On opuuing it, we find, however, not a kernel, in the usual sense of the term, but is small ml, or at in the specimen now before us, an object least so identically resembling one, that the clos- cst examination fails to resent any direct nlfinity between it and t vegetable king-

om, unless the skin or bus which sur- rounds it, like the kernel ofanothcr nut, may botermed such. This serpent is not, that we are aware of, found actually alive in the shell, but exists in a hardened state. It is of a dark brown color,- smooth, ‘and bound in a distinctly traceable coil, having up throughout, in every respect, exact dimen- sions and proportions of no ordinary snake. even head being actually formed. From the gentleman from whom this not was ob- tained, and who h s many more in his possession, all of which, on being opened, have invariably been found to contain ‘ snakes," we learn that it grows on trees found two or three hundred miles from Bogota, and that he was informed by the In- dians thnt- at certain seasons of the ear

these snakes, issuing from the shell, increa-

sed in size and were to be seen hanging aliveand in numbers from the branches. We pretend to ofi'er no solution of this ex-

traordinary eni ma. It is w‘ell’known"thnt' many insects cposit their larva: in fruits»

and nuts, but we hardly see how thiscx

plnnation is ‘applicable to it scr' out whit:

fills the entire interior of a she , and is at the same time so curiously identified wlh the inner orrcoating as to favor the suppoeltidn that it has "grown with’ its growth llIlI“l'Oll'tIlOlIOtl vrl its strength."

Should this 'I(ePnI_I prove to be simply a ‘,veget_abl’o product likcitlte welltlthown snake cucumber, which, oh’ la largér scale, so much remindsus ofit; we can only regard it"as-,e most oxtraordiriery addition to the class of , natural wonders; We‘are happy to‘ lc‘c_,ifn’t|,tat the cotitents of this snake not will shortly be submitted to aclosc analysis by an eminent physician of this city, the i-csul'ts'ot‘ which we-trust, erie-long, to lay

The instant he is about to rise, slucken one hand, and bond or twist his head with the other, keeping your hands low.

Some peasants coming to her in tears, complained that the servants ‘of the King, her husband, had car- ried oll.‘ their cattle- _,She went to her hus- band, and obtsitiedinsent redress. “Their- ‘cnttle have been restored‘ to them," said "the Qeen, ” but who shall‘ I ‘give than back their l¢a_r.s'!” H ' Iniriirts Itinisa Srnswiys.—The intro- '.duction of riding "sideways by women in England is attributed to Anita of Bohe- mia, consort of Richard II.‘ ’She it was (according to Show) that originally show- ed the women of this country how grace- fully and conveniently they might ride on horseback sideways. Another old histor- inn, enumerating the new fashion of Rich- ard the Seoond’s reign observes-—“ Like wise noble ladies then used high heads an corsets, and robes with long trains and seats on side saddles, on their horses, by the example of theres ctable Queen Anna, daughlei of the ing of Bavaria, who first introduced the custom into the
