Practical Christianity.—The Rev. Lkwis
Tkafiek. of Charleston, has addressed a letter to
tlu- Charleston Mercury, October, 22, in which
Bpet:kiiu r of the Episcopal General Convention, re
cently held at Philadelphia, he says:
And from first to last, (with the exception of a
single speech, which, though infiammaio r y enough,
fell like a spark upon tho water,) not a word im* es
caped Tom any one, however far away in the North
or the L ast, or the West, which might not have
been spoken tit tho corners of Hroad and Mooting
streets, and would not baye met approval there.—
Ay, moiv, tre Soul/u'rwrs have bcrri greeted with
mottf. cordial affection t listened to with respectful at -
Indian, and /noted altogether with such fraternal
consideration, that our hearts are very full of lore
i i return, and thankfulness to God. South Caro
lina and Massachusetts are on the best of terms;
New York and Virginia exchange and interchange
r mtimml courtesies ; Ohio and Miuissinpi are arm
in arm: Maine aud Texas go side by side ; and tho
tion, in both Houses, by acclamation,
.agree to meet next south of Mason's and Dixon’s
line in Richmond, Virginia, expressly to give proof
to the southern brethren of confidence and alfec
tii ui, and evidence to all the rest of the world, that
!. >we ver conscientiously we may differ, even*about
tin ‘v . si to re.ea/u ” of the day, wo all are determin
ed that we will not therefore break the bond of
Christian fellowship; but would rather, if we may,
h that fellow torrent, which
also may sirup the fair fabric of our civil Union.
Tin Pn n rk in Hamlet.- —We see it stated that
M i Burton shows his apnreciativeness of the text of
Shake spcniv in substituting full length picturesof the
(.Queen’s two husbands, in Hamlet, for the iniuia
t mvs usually used, in the famous scene between the
Prince and his mother : Act 111. Sc. 4.
I'lte i hler Vundenhoff was in the habit of playing
it in this way, and always with striking effect. The
text evidently lequbcs it. The Prince, not sitting
dowi:, and comparing the miniature of his father,
which lie wears, with that
Imaging from the neck of the Queen, draws her at
tention to their full length portraits,! suspended on
opposite sides of the apartment; and pointing to
them alternately, says:
“ I iook here, upon this picture and «n thU s
The counterfeit presentment of two brothers." j
lie firs? describes that of his lather; and among ,
other points of resemblance ascribes to it
• \ siut>"U like the herald, Mercury,
New lighted on a heaven-kissing hUI; '
A combination and a form-, indeed, (
Where every god did seem to see his seal,
To give the world assurance of a man."
Now if Ham et hold but a miniature iu his hand j
while giving this description, where was its appre- (
i lability ? Where was the “ station”—which means 4
the act of standing? Where the comparison with
tiie newly alighted god ? Where the “ combination ,
and the form ?” We hope to see the true inode of
ti*»ing this great scene universally adopted in our
theatres.— Pic.
Oxford Down Shkkp.—Hon. Wm. C. Rives de
voted his leisure, while abroad, to the study of the
f. lV ’■••nt breeds of domestic animals in Europe, es
p. t ialiv in England, with a view to introduce such
would most :mproveour native stocks. The Ox
ford Down sheep is the breed of that race of animal
which, alter much observation and enquiry among
the best farmers of England, he selected as combin
ing in the highest degree the qualities of fine mut
ton and abundant tierce. The sheep now exhibited
by him at th.- Agricultural Fair, consist of the purest
slock originally imported by him, and of the three
grin rations of their progeny ; so that an ample op
portunity is afforded to judge of their characteris
tic merits. It would be difficult to find, in any part
of the world, a finer lot of sheep, combining in the
r v w animal the best quality of mutton, large and
symmetrical carcass, anti abundant tleece. than
those new exhibited by Mr. Rives.— Rich. Despatch.
I'm. near Ski.i in.—The Austin State Times, of
th* ll?'.. savs : Win. Autrey, known as “Dock Au
trey. ' and Win. Carson, fought a duel eight miles
below Seguin, last Saturday. They used double
barrelled shot guns and six shooters, and commeue
ed at a hundred and twenty paces apart, and con
tinued advancing and firing until within six or
t ;dit feet, when Carson was shot through with a six
shooter ball and died iu two hours. Autrey was not
hurt, but some buck shot struck him upon the first
tire, too much spent to do any injury, and a pistol
.-hot passed through liis vest and* shirt, just missing
the skin.
Autrey immediately left, and was pursued by
the Sheriff of Guadalupe county, ami overtaken
v.y miles from Seguin. and brought back. We
U-jvru that several others were implicated as se
conds.
Bold Ror.np.KY —Sixteen Hundred Dollars Sto
. ' —On Monday evening, about half past nine
oYlt rk, while Mr. John McElroy was in his store,
No. 11 Merrimac street, some thief or thieves fas
?. ned him in by passiug a stick through the latch of
:i «• door, and having thus prevented his egress,
they broke the glass in a window having glass cas
ing inside, aud seized a small chest which was lying
by a window on the counter, and made off with it.—
The trunk contained thirteen packages of bank bills
of a huudred dollars each, and three hundred
dollars in gold This is the boldest, as it is one of
the heaviest, robberies which has taken place in this
vicinity iot* a long time. —Poston Traveller, Oct.
The Ql ikfks for Fillmore.—The Fremont pa
;>ers are telling that Fremont can take the Quaker
\ov iu Pennsylvania. This is all deception. Isaac
Nt-wton. the representative man of Pennsylvania
Quakerdom, is an elector on the Fillmore ticket.—
H -J . gentleman last week, that seven eighths
ot tl;e Ouaker voce would be given to Mr. Fillmore
—that the Quakers did not like Mr. Buchanan, and
would opp >e Fremont, if for no other reason than
that he is a duelist. The Quakers never voted for
Mr. Clay, because he had been engaged in duels.
A newspaper is an impersonality. Readers, in
general, cai. very iittle certainly, are not at ail con
cerned to know who may be the writer of a particu
lar paragraph. A newspaper’s material, if it be
anything, cannot now-a-days be exclusively the pro
duction of one man. It is immaterial who writes—
unless in a case that demands personal accounta
bility or personal offence—and an opposing journal
would be better employed in answering the argu
’.i viitsor overthrowing the positions or an article,
! uin assailing or alluding to its imagined author.
fhi> is a point of newspaper etiquette which should
be observed by all who would maintain the deco
rum and dignity of the press.

Romance of Roguery.
The New York Herald of a late date gives the
following interesting account of Huntington, the
great forger. It exhibits a series of singular opera
tion* which, though begining and ending in rascali
ty, are not without that peculiar romance »o often
linked with roguery:
The HumJK.ro>. Forgeries.—-Since the he
rn, use frauds perpetrated by Charles H. Hunting
ton ~n brokers in Wall street have come to light,
I there is no small share of curosity in the public
mind to learn how it is that he could have been so
Huecewfu! in his rogueries in that place of sharpers.
The frauds committed by Schuyler, couple ->f
| years ago, were easily comprehended. He was the
\ President of a Kailroad Company, and entrusted
with the i.-eue of its stock ; and the simplest mind
could understand how. with implicit confidence re
prised in him, he could overissue stock to almost
any amount. Hut in the case of Huntington—
whose name ha* been for the last two weeks before
the public—it is difficult to comprehend iaiw he,
who was unknown in financial circles a year or
two ago, could have succeeded in victimizing the
note-shavers of Wall street to the amount of some
half a million of dollars. The mode by which he did
bo we wUI try to explain.
The first tr ace that we can find of Mr. Hunting
ton's connection with financial matters dates back
only so far as Ittb J, when he anil two or throe other
individuals fell into the hands of the police of this
city for the snare which they had in get', ing up
s "fraudulent sbinplaster concern under the title
I of the ‘ Anacostia Hank of Washington, D. C."—
Indictments were found against liim and hii ao
eomplice* on that occasion, but they were never
brought to trial, on account —as appears from an
endorsement on.the bill—of some informality or in
comnleten.-ss in the piroof.
We next find him. shortly thereafter, having a
little box ofau office in Wail street, where he purport
ed to cany on the busiuess of a bill broker in a
small retail style. This business consists in acting
a* a sort ui agent or go-between for brokers on a
larger scale —that is. he would go to a broker and
find out what he would sell certain note* for, and
then, if be found he couid realize any profit by the
transaction, he would buy from one and sell to
another. At this time he lmarded up town wjth
his w ife on a modest scale. He agreed to pay $l.O a
week for their board, but even tliis moderate sum he
did not. it is said, find it convenient to pay. He
left that iioarding house and went to the Metropoli
tan Hotel, where he stayed for some time; but he did
not here indulge iu any of tho extravagances into
which he afterwards launched. He subsequently
went to the New York Hotel, where it seems lie
commenced to be mure liberal iu his expenditures.—
We afterwards find him occupying part of a house
in Fifteentli street, and recently owing two or three
houses in Twenty-second street.
Nothing is more Btrange iu connection with
Huntington's career than the faet that he wa*so lit
tle known in Wall street or commercial circles.
Our reporter conversed to-day w-ith some of the
principal brokers on the street; lew of them had
dealings with him, and most of them had never
heard of him until the time of his arrest. And yet
lie could raise half a million of dollars among that
fraternity on forged notes, wherein the signatures
did not even pretend to be imitations.
The supposition is that it is only within the last
eighteen months that Huntington commenced to
operate on forged paper. It may not be even so
long He had now an office at No. 52 Wall street,
and pir.ifessed to carry on the legitimate business of
a note broker. As most of our readers are iu bliss
ful ignorance of the business of note-shaving, we
will briefly describe it. Commercial firms, even
though they may Imve large capital,are wonstantly
compelled to pay by notes on t ime instead of cash.
The accommodation given by banks is limited ; and
when they decline to make more advances on the
notes of a firm, bill brokers are resorted to. These
charge more or less discount on the bills, depending
upun the credit of the drawer, and the length of
time tiwj’ may have to run before they mature.—
The bills on houses in first rate standing (technical
ly known as gilt edg-d piaper) will be discounted at
the rate of ten per cent, per annum, while ou others,
not so ;vell known or trusted, the broker* charge a
discount of two or three per cent, per month. Jt
follows, therefore, that in times of ordinary com
mercial prosperity, when bankruptness are rare,
these shavers make quite a handsome profit by their
operations. Hunt ington was engaged in this capital
business.
The profits of t)jp trade, large as they must have
been, did not satisfy film, or were insufficient to en
able him to gratify his extravagant taste for fine
houses, costly furniture, splendid equipages, fust
horses, aud dashing women; so lie resolved to try
his hand on that branch of tho profession which has
conducted him to a cell in the Tombs. He went to
work systematically, and used nt first a good deal
of caution to evade detection. He was in the habit
of going to the office of a broker in high standing
and purchasing from him notes the amount, of SCO,
000 or SBO,OOO in a week. For these he always paid
in certified checks. He was an easy, dashing-look
ing fellow said the broiler —had always a s.-gar in
his mouth, and was perfectly cool and nuiirhalnnl
in his manner, so that lie might easily impose on
one; but there was something about him that I could
not understand. I could nut comprehend why he
should come and buy our notes, as we did not divide
the discount with him, and lie could make nothing
by them.” He afterwards let out, the secret of it.—
Huntington would buy these notes, duplicate them,
sell the notes, and use the duplicates as collateral
security in raising money. At first, however, he
used only the genuine notes, and as they were al
ways found to lie correct, he gradually gained the
confidence of those with whom he had dealings,—- |
When he iiad thus completely disarmed men of all
suspicion, he began to use the duplicate or forged ,
notes. i(i» plan was this —he would go into a note
broker’s, aay he wag ted to borrow $-10,000 for a ,
month or so, for which lie would giye ins own note \
of hand and certain other bills of such and subji
and amounts as collatteral security, and lie would
leave a memorandum of these bills. If the broker
wagted to satisfy himself that all was right, he would
send to the, firm.- purporting to be the drawers, and
inquire whether they 4a;f opt the notes described.—
They would refer to their books, find that they had
issued such notes, and consequently the broker, .
not doubting that those offered by Huntington
were the real ones, would advance the money
asked upon them. With the money raised Hun
tington would make speculations, or would take up 1
oilier bills becoming due, or would use it for his pri
vate purposes. Anti thus he went on from week to j
week mid from month io gjoctli.
Escaping so often undetected, tie beg;::: to relax (
in liis exercise of caution. Instead of buying up |
genuine notes and duplicating them, lie would some- ,
times go into a broker’s, asked to look at his paper, (
run his eye ever the amounts, dates and names of (
drawers, and would undertake, from memory alone, ,
to duplicate such as he th.iughf best fitted for his
purpose. In this, however, lie sometimes made a
slip, for we find that Mr. Kane, a broker, with whom
he had extensive dealings, detected him on two or ‘
three occasions in offering notes which he discover- ]
ed to be forgeries. Why this gentleman did not
then hand ox er the culprit into the hands of the tow
is a question which he will have some difficulty in ‘
answering to the satisfaction of the public. Anoth- (
er broker, holding a note which he suspected to be ,
a forgery, went to tiie firm purporting to issue it, (
and although it was but a clumsy imitation of the ;
genuine note, the party without looking at it, and ,
by merely referring to the bill book, declared it to j
be all right. Is it any wonder that with such a loose
way of doing business frauds would be perpetrated 7 (
The only wonder is that they are not much more
numerous. :
The manner in which Huntington’s Joperations
were brought to light was no less curious than the
operations themselves, ana proved him, after all to
be ratber careless and clumsy for a successful prac
titioner. Among a parcel of notes which lie gave to
lielden & Co., as collateral security, in the usual
maimer, was one of Messrs. Phelps, Dodge Si. Co.,
for over S.j,(KH), which note was then ou Us face
overdue. That fact attracted attention, and ou in
quiry being made it was pronounced a forgery.—
And even then Huntington would not have been
brought to iustiee, but would have been allowed to
goon ad utfivtlum, were it not for the firmness aud
determination of Mr. Dodge, and liis partner Mr.
Stokes. They sought out officer Ilowycr, and ob
tained liis advice aud assistance in the matter; aud
although efforts were made to shield Huntington
from the consequences of his acts they proved fu
tile. lie was arrested aud held to bail m $20,000.
The very man on whom he attempted lo pawn the
counterfeit (Mr. Heldeul became his surety. Hunt
ington had previous to his arrest procured $2-1,000
in gold on lus owu certified check, and this sum lie
lodged iu Hidden's hands as security, to induce him
to become liis bail. Hut the next day other eviden
ces of forgeries came in, aud he was re-arreßted.
lielden then procured the caneelfotiop of his bail,
and it is said retains the $24,000,
Another curious feature in the transactions is, that
although the total amount of forgeries already as
certained is $516,119.40, uo person can be found to
acknowledged that he has been victimised. It is
the opinion of experienced brokers that none of the
forged paper was put upon the market, (iu fact it
was too clumsily imitated for that purpose,) but it is
all in the hands of tiie banks and brokers with whom
lie did business. He probably, however, did not
raise more tlmn $llllO,OOO on it. We understand
that a cashier of one of the banks was in the habit of
making 1 luntiugton advances out of the drawer on
this forged paper, receiving a large discount for it,
and was fortunate enough to escape loss ; and that,
oil hearing of Huntington s arrest, he went to the
President of the bank, gave in his resignation, told
what he had been doing, acknowledged that lie had
made large profits thereby, and said that lie thought
it liis duty to let them know how easily they might
be cheated in this way.
Aud now Huntington is in tlio Tombs. His trial
will make work for the lawyers, aud attracts a good
deal of public attention. It will probably be auice
legal point whether the lodging these notes as col
lateral security is tantamount to uttering them. The
penalty for each offence may be seven years in the
State prison, aud if convicted on all, he require to
live a* old as Parr to serve out his term. Iu the
meantime he seems to be quite indifferent as to ins
situation. When officer Bowyer informed him that
he came to arrest him, he cooly walked to the man
telpiece, took up a match, lit the cigar which lie had
in Iris mouth, and walked out with the officer in ap
parent unconcern. liis cell at the Tombs is richly
carpeted and furnished. His wife’s carriage drives
down daily, and her care provides him with sumptu
ous far. , "He has his champagne and his Havanas,
aud don’t seem to let the degradation of liis position
weigh upon his spirit*. As au assistance of his ex
travaganee. even now, it is said that alter dining a
day or two ago, lie sent up to Thompson's for fruit,
aud paid as idgh as five dollars for five pears.
It will be asked what has become of the proceeds
of these extensive forgeries 7 We have given an
inkling of the extravagance of this man, wliich suf
fieienuy indicates his character in that respect, and
we have no doubt that within the last two years he
ha- been able to squander all the money that he ha*
raised by the means we have described. He own
ed two houses in Twenty-second street, costing pro
bable $25,000. These were furnished regardless of
expense. In one of them he resided with Ms fatni-
Iv; in the other, not a block distant, he maintained
in grand st vie a ladv of beauty and accomplish
meuts. who was not bis wedded wife. He was fond
of showy equipages and fine horses, and outshone
ail his competitors in that line.
It was usual to see his lady driving two in hand,
and himself driving a similar team, side by side. —
He kept open house for all his friends, aud gave
them the use of his whole establishment. He rarely
dined at home, but general.y at some of the fashion
able restaurants, with some tashianable ladies. At
the watering places his lady outshone ali others in
the splendor of her diamonds. It is said that on the
very dav ofh's arrest she had sent to his office, from
Niagara" or Saratoga, a box containing $30,000
worth or jewelry. Her brother took it m charge,
ar.d the officers have not since been able to get at it.
We received a communication the other day stating
that he had recently bought at Tiffany A Co s. a
piece of jewelry at '.he price of SI,BOO tor presenta
tiou to a" lady.' Mr. Tidauy. however, says that this
aud other similar statements are exaggerated.
With such lavish expenditures as these extrav
agant tastes and habits imply, it need not be won
dered what became of the proceeds of the forge
ries.
Huntington, like many other people in New Y'ork.
was determined to live like a prince —uo matter
who should eventually have to toot the bill. Even
now, when the crash that was to be expected has
come, aud when he can reasonably look tor no other
fate than that of a felon, he does not loose his r< ck
lessness, liis indifference. He eats fine diune-s and
drinks his costly wines in his little cell in the Tombs,
with apparently as much gusto as when he played
the part of frratul stimeur in Twenty-second street;
and even there, the calamity that has befallen the
household does not seem to press heavily upon them.
There is the same "sound of revelry by night" as
in the times when he was flourishing in Wall street.
But the re-action cannot fail to come after the gid
dy excitement of such a life. It is sad to contem
plate the end of such a brief career of dissipation.
The wealth which his wife supposed perhaps to be
inexhaustible, will not save lmn from the degrada
tion of a convict s life. A young man of good ad
drew and pleasing manner*, he might have lived a
life of u§efulnesß.and honestly become wealthy, as
he desired; but he could not resist the temptation
of getting rich in a hurry, and the end will be a mis
erable exigence at Sing Sing prison. There is a
moral in Huntington * career for all classes of our
citizens.

The Wreck of the Propeller Toledo—Thirty or
Forty Lives LoM.
The propeilorToledo, Capt. Densham.of the Ame
rican Transportation Company’s Line, bound to
this port, with a large cargo of merchandise for this
city and for merchants in the country, in the gale
of Friday last was lost in front of Port Washington,
and the captain and all on board drowned but three.
We get the following particulars from Mr. Pome
roy, of Detroit, who was at Port Washington at the
time.
On Friday, at about noon, the propeller was with
in about 100 rods of one of the piers, and was drag
ging her anchors and going northward. At afiaut 1
A. 31., an attempt seemed to be made to get
anchors, and t<» get into a safer berth further north.
The anchors were down again. eo**u after she got
beyond the north pier. The propeilor had her Hag
at half mast, bat the waves were roll ng at such a
fearful height that no boat could live a moment
in them, and no help could be rendered. Tne wind
rose to its height at dark. Fires were built ail along
the shore, and by tneir iigbt the huli of the p. opellcr
could be seen rolling and laboring heavily s -me 100
rods out. At about P. M.. boxes anu barrels of
goods began to come ashore, and in about half an
hour the yawl boat was dashed ou the beech and
was found to contain a inau clinging to one of the
seats.
As soon as he was able to speak jbe said that he
was one of the deck-hands, and had got into the
boat with about 20 others, but the boat wa- upset
almost immediately, and he alone managed to cling
to it as it vra» hurled over and over towj.rd the
•bore. In a short time another man got ashore, and
a third was lifted up by a wave and thrown upon
the pier, alive. These three are beiievad to be the
only persons saved. They say that there were -10 or
50 persons ia all on board. They were deck hands
anti did not know the names of passengers, and but
few of the crew. They remember one family of
passengers, a man with his wife and six children.
They state that the Captain'd olject wan tog.etup
his anchors and beach her as a last resort, hut thu
anchor chains got foul and they could not raice them
or cut thech.-iins before the seams opened and the
water came in »u rapidly above and below tLat the
propeller settled to toe bottom.
Scarcely a vestige was left the vessel in the
morning, and such of the goods as cam** ashore
were dashed to pieces by the waves.
The Toledo was one of the largest class of propel
lers, and with her cargo, was probably worth ?65,-
000 to f 70,000. The vessel was not insured. The
waves have swallowed up an immense stock of
goods of every kind, scarcely anything of which
will be saved.
The propellers Illinois and Potomon. of the Ameri
can Transportation Company, were out in ti e gale,
and have not been hearef from. The prope«!**r Tsiie
was also exposed to the full fury of the storm on
this lake, but weathered handsomely and came Into
this port, all right, Saturday.
At about daylight ou Saturday a vessel was dis
covered going ashore some distance south of the
eouth pier at Port Washington. It proved to be the
schooner Bohemian, from UoWego for Chicago, with
railroad iron. The life-boat was quickly brought to
the spot, and several attempts made by a gallant
set of fellows to put off to the schooner, but without
success, until the vessel struck, head on, when a lee
was made on one side, and the boat put out and
brought off the crew of ten in two trips, the captain
and mate coning off last.
Horriblk Affair.— A gentleman sjtaldsd io
daath by hi* own servants. —lt w.v mention* j few
days ago that Lewis 15. Norwood, Esq., an iufluen
lial and widely known merchant of Grauvilie uouip
tv, N. (J-, Lad come to bis death on the night of
Tuesday, the 21*t instant, in a sudden and myste
rious manner. The Petersburg Express has the
following additional particulars:
About his usmd hour of retiring, 9 o’clock, his
overseer left him in his .cbainfier. lie was then in
his usual health and condition, boui of minu and
body. Some two hours after his nogtoes reported
to the neighbors that lie had fallen in the tire and
been burned to death. The neighbors immediately
assembled, and found him a corpse. Burns upon
different parts of his person were discovered, but
his hair was not singed even, and his clothing was
without a scorch. Under these circumstances it
was supposed that the bum* must havo been scalds
from hot water. His two fitfie
asleep at the time in tlio chamber, out of copse
could tell nothing of the sudden and mysterious
manner in which they had been deprived of their
jnomefor.
An examination being instituted, suspicion rested
upon his negroes, and it is now ascertained that he
wns foully and shockingly murdered by two of tjin
slaves. From such facts as we have been enabled
to gather. It seen) that a negro man belonging to
him had for sometim.c* absented himself. Mr. Nor
wood suspected that two of his negroes were har
boring the runaway, and to prevent a continuance
of the practice had for several nights previous to his
murder locked up the two suspected, in an out
house on his premises. On the fatal night, how
ever, he w’as st mined by a blow, and a large pot of
boiling water which had been prenared for the pur
pose, was poured through a funnel down his throat,
until life became extinct, lie was then conveyed
to his (chamber, and the neighbors apprised of the
death, as we have stated above. We understand
that two of his negroes have been arrested and aro
now in jail.
The Wilms Case.—The South Carolinian learns
thatthiß ease was tried before Judge O Npall, at
Barnwell, during the present term, Messrs. A. P.
Aldrich and W. A. Owens, for the Carolina distri
butees, resisted the Ohio will (whereby Willi* gave
his property to his colored concubine and her chil
dren, whom he bad carried to Ohio ami put in a
state of freedom, between the execution of his will
and his death), on the grounds of the policy of the
State, the Act of 1811, fraud, iusanity, undue iutiu
ence, not executed iu due form, and revocation.
The jury found against the will, and Messrs. Bel
linger end liuuakett have appealed from their ver
vict, “ on the ground that the same is contrary to
law and evidence, it being clearly and undeniably
proved that the paper propounded by John Jolifie
was executed in due form, and in the entire ab
sence ol fraud, insanity, aud undue influence ; nor
wiu there any pretence of revocation; nor was
there any thin# in tl,e polipy of the State, norm the
Act of 1811 to sustain the vordici of the jury, who
must either have labored under gross ignorance, or
been led away by popular clamor.”
The motion for a new trial will be argued at Co
lumbia in December next.
Willis’will is the case of a citizen of Barnwell
district, who took a family of slaves, the children
being liL own, to Ohio, and on landing at Cincin
nati, and beforo he reached a carriage to carry him
to the hotel, fell dead in the streets, nis wiii is in
favor of the slaves thus emancipated; his heirs con
test the probate of the will.
Ac in California.—The Rev. Bishop
Andrew, in oue of his ieiiers from California, re
lates the following incident;
A ride of fifteen miles brought us to the house of
judge pickingou, on the Tuolumne river. We
were kindly treated- Wp had here quite an inter
esting incident. Mrs. A. recognised in ope of the
waiters a young man whom she had known in Ala
bama ; but lie had changed his name, and when she
inquired if he was not B. C. he denied it, aud the
family know him as J 5. M. I told her she was pro
bably mistaken, but she persevered, woman like,
and finally succeeded iu cornering him. Finding
thfct he was recognized, he made an honest confes
sion. lie had come to California, been unfortunate
in business, and was reduced to the necessity of
begging, stealing or working. He very properly
chose the latter, and was employed as a waiter at
the public house, at $lO a month and his board.—
ThL way a wise resolve, yet his pride revolted at the
jdea of its being known that ho had fallen into such
a menial employment ; hence,to prevent hitj friend*
from knowing him, lie had changed his name. Hi:<
feelings ap a son broke forth when he found one who
knewhis mother, and could give him tidings from
home. The interview may be overruled for good,
lie said, on our return the following week, that he
intended to save all his wages, and return in a few
months to Alabama. His employer spoke highly of
him as a very excellent youn& man.
“Hard Times.” —The Austin State Times says :
that the corn crop of Travis county has fallen short
of an average by half. That there are no immi
grants coming into that portion of the State. That
butter, chickens, eggs, &c., are extremely scarce,
and find eager purcaaers in Austin.
In relation to the scarcity of butter, cheese, eggs,
lard, and other similar articles, that ought, at all
times, to be abundant and cheap in every portion
of Texas, the same state of tilings prevails here as
at Austin.
With the finest country on earth for cows, chick
ens and hog?, as well as other stock and poultry ;
and whilst butter is sought, at 30 cents per
pound, cheese at 18, eggs at 20 cent* per do sen, and
chickens at '2b cents a piece, our entire population
arc complaining wofully of hard tivus. We have
nothing that will fetch money! We are on the vergo
of ruin!
Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky fanners make butter
and cheese in great abundance, which they sell at
six or seven cents a pound to their merchants ; they
also sell them pork and lard at about four cents,
ami realize fortunes, eventually, by such operations.
The merchants ship the butter and pheese, and pork
and lard to New Orleans, upon flatboats, ana spll
them at a profit to merchants of that city. New Or
leans merchants sell them to Texas merchants, reali
zing a profit, and Texas merchants sell them to the
peopie of Texas, who ought to make fortunes by
producing the same articles, at less thau one half
what they are every day paying for them.
Do we not richly deserve hard times ? Victoria

The Vote of Lancaster. —The squirming of
the Democratic papers at the late vote of Lancaster
county; Pa., (where Mr. Buchanan lives) is amus
ing. The returns from all the other counties in the
State are properly compared with the vote at the
State election of last year, as the latest and best
test. But when they come to Lancaster, that com
parison won't do ! Why ? Because Lancaster last
year gave a majority of only 20*2 votes against the
Democratic party, and this year it gives 2144 ma
jority against that party. Therefore they go back
to former elections, when the old Whig and Demo
cratic parties contended, and show that Lancaster
used then to give a heavy Whig majority. So it
did ; but Lancaster has a large Dutch population,
and has never been a strong American county —as
witness last year’s American majority of only 202.
This year, too, the Democracy fused with Freesoil
Whigs in the county—ran one of them for Congress
and five others for county officers—and yet were
beaten 2,444 votes ! Is not this proof positive that
Buchanan's personal popularity is not very great!

Railroad Accident. —On Saturday last as the
up train of cars were crossing the trestle at Wil
liainston, one of the stringers of the trestle gave
way, and the rear passenger car was precipitated to
the* ground. The elevation was some twenty-five
feet, and the car turned over several times and
struck the ground bottom upwards. There were
two white men on board the car, Capt. J. S. Acker,
near Belton, and one Mr. Ilenning, the former of
whom was dangerously wounded, having his thigh
and arm crusheai and otherwise bruised and maim
ed. Mr. Henning was also considerably bruised.—
The negroes escaped by jumping off. When the
stringei gave way. the coupling oar between the
cais parted, and the remainder of the train parsed
over m safely. The car was crushed to atoms, and
had to be dug away before the wounded could be
released.
We hare not learned whether any blame at’ai hes
to the Company, but if so. we hope the law will be
enforced against them. — Anderson , {S. C.) Ga

Child Carried orr et a Bear. —One of those
fearful incidents occurred near the village of Xe- i
ehota. on Saturday week, which go so far to create |
the thrilling interest in written romance of pioneer |
life. Just before sunset a child five years old was
seized in the presence of its mother by a full grown
bear, and in spite of its screams and the frantic ef
forts of its mother, was borne into the thicket. The
alarm was given, and the men, with clubs and fire- j
arms, commenced searching the woods, but up to ,
Tuesday nothing bad been found of it upon which I
to base's conjecture with reference lo its fate. B< ars
are quite plenty in this neighborhood, but this is the
i first instance when? human life has been sacrificed by
| them, though they have frequently carried off stock
from the farmers, coming up. as in this case, to the
door of the house. —Manxtotroe ( Win.) Tribune.
Yellow Fever in Bermuda. —The Hamilton
Bermudian, of the Bth in*t.. states ; —Somerset and
Warwick have been fearfully visited with yellow
fever. Their united population numbers 2600, and
up to the present date upwards of 600 persons in
these two parishes have been attacked with the fe
ver. Still the mortality from it, as we are informed,
has not exceeded 9 per cent The accounts from
Somerset this morning are most distressing. A
considerable number of new cases have broken out
since yesterdav. Among others, we have heard o.
a whole family having been attacked at once, via :
husband and w.fe. mother of the former, children and
servant, leaving no one in the house to render the
least assistance.
Progress of the Forging Epidemic.— We are
informed that forgeries to the amount ot SIO,OOO
have come to light in West Stafford, causing no lit
tle talk in that vicinity. The party implicated is the
treasurer of the Stafford Linen Company, Mr. A.
W. Case. The chief portion of the forged paper
was made out in the name of Asa Patten. Esq., as

The wat Citizens are Nearly Fifteen
Thousand Foreigners Xatun.'J'jed in this City.—
1 During the past six weeks the Superior and Com
* mon Pleas courts have been ens_ ‘aged in the du*j’ of
increasing the number of citizens .v the great repub
lic, and in lessening, in the same proportion, the
subjects of foreign princes, potentates and powers.
The work commences about ten o cl ock every morn
ing, aud continues without cessation till three or
four in the afternoon, and betweeu those hours the
interior and exterior of the City Hall presents an
unusually animated and lively appearauoe. The
eagerness with which the aspiring foreigners crowd
about the entrances of the two courts requires the
presence of a considerable force of policemen, who
find it a difiieuit matter to repress their ardor and
impatience, and to prevent them from un
invited and unbidden into the presence of the Judges
themselves For six long weeks have the courts
empowdered with the authority for naturalization
been besieged iu this way, and during that time
about fifteen thousand of’our foreign born popula
tion have been admitted to the privileges of citizen
ship. They come from pougukeepbia and other
places along the North river, and Long Island has

dwellers in New York, who form the great majority
of the applicants. A few—and they are very few—
apply of their own accord, but the great bulk are
recruited by the Naturalization Committees of
Tgniraany Hall and the Republican Central Club.
Thu former have taken the Irish uudt r their
special care, whiui :!;e Germans, whose tendencies
are of a republican character. to have fallen
to the charge of the latter. Both oommiiUvd pay

are expected to receive |u n turn. Now, as each
fee amounts to fifty cents, an-i a-i have been
about fifteen thous nd naturalized, the whole
amount paid must be over seven thousand dollars.
The greater part of this has been paid, it is s-*id, by
ti;e democratic committee, who have made five citi

In the first week or tl;e applicants pre

The scones that take place during the piocesa of
naturaiizaiiou are sometimes of a rather amusing
character. Some time ago the following occurrence
took place in one of our courts : Among the crowd
of applicants was an Irishman named O'Brien, who,
in his own persuasive words, was “wanting his pa

interrogated, and answered as follows •;
Judge—What’s your name, sir ?

Judge—Do you know O’Brien ?

Judge—Well, sir, 1 will talk more plainly to you.
Does O’Brien stand fair before the community ?
Witness (completely non plussed)—By my sowl,
I don't your menimr, your Honor.’

From the Buffalo Courier of Monday.
A brief telegraphic disputch was received Satur
day forenoon, announcing the loss of the propeller
Toledo with ill on board, on Lake Michigan.
Another <Lkpatch was received during Saturday
evening by \\ oils D. Walbridge, {Secretary of the
American Ti a importation Company, which stated
that the propeller Toledo, which left this port hint
week with forty-five passengers and about 50()
tons of merchandise, had struck the reef off Port
Washington on Lake Michigan in a terrible gale,
and had gone to pieces. All on board, excepting
three deck hands, were lost. Portions of the wreck
and part of the merchandise had been washed ashore
on the beach.
The 'jfofodo sailed by Capt. John Deotham,
who leaves a wife and oue child in this city. The
Toledo, whep she left this port, had 40 or 45 pas
sengers on board, and her crew numbering 34 or 25
men. She had a cargo of assorted merchandise
which must have been worth $200,000, and per
haps even more. The Toledo was owned by the
American Tansportation Company, was but two
years old, and worth $40,000. She was not imured.
Several of the passengeis, we understand, were resi
dents of this city, aud others had friends here.
These are all the particulars we could learn up to
lust night.
From the Buffalo Commercial of Monday Evening.
We pick up this morning the following ad
ditional particulars in regard to the loss of the
Toledo :
She was seen by Capt. Gibson, of the propeller
Plymouth, last Wednesday, about thirty miles this
side Straits, all right, and aftenvard on Thursday,
by Capt. Brett, near a place called Sheboygan, in
Michigan, with her anchors over her fiow. aud bear
ing North. She has been undoubtedly lost eoine
wbereop Lake Michigan, as portions of her wreck
have comp ashore, near Jfort Washington. Three
deck hands are said to be saved. She had a crew
of 25, and about 40 passengers. Among the pasen
vers were Mrs. Frazee, formerly wife of Lucius
Wentworth, deceased, and her three children, be
tween the ages of 4 and 12 years ; and among the
crew, the first mate, George Hill, family residing
near Cleveland ; 2d do., David Vance, brother of
Mrs. Densham ; Ist engineer. Ewd. McManman,

therefore, fraudulent. Truly, a wonderful financier

would have special reference to the Presidential

Interesting from Japan —Liberal Design* of
the Government. —Our last accounts from the China
Seas mention u highiy interesting fact. The Empe
ror of Japan, being anxious to adjust various ques
tions connected with the recent treaties he lias con
cluded with the recent Governments of Europe and
America, held on the 22d of June, atJeddo, the
capital of his empire, a solemn assembly of the prin
cipal lords and most influential personages of his
Court. It was decided at the meeting that two
parts of the empire, those of Nnngasnki and Ilagoda
di, should be open to the vessels of all nations. There
they might repair, take in provisions, establish de
pots of coal, Ac. The other ports of the empire,
moreover, are to be accessible to vessels in distress
which may take refuge in them, but which will have
to put to sea the moment the danger is over. No
foreigner is to be allowed to penetrate into the in
tior of the country without a special permission
from the Chief of the State. No decision had yet
been come to with regard to the commercial ques
tion. Th * right of trading with Japan is still exclu
sively maintained in favor of the Dutch and Chinese
who Lave long possessed it on very onerous terms,
having but one market open to them, that of Nan
gasaki. The new policy adopted by the Govern
ment of Japan will be productive of incalculable
result*. Hitherto no foreign vessel could enter the
ports of the country to refit or take in provisions.
The last decision of the Court of Jeddo accordingly
constitutes a grand progress. —Momteur dela Flotte.
Interesting from Florida. —A Florida corres
pondent of the Philadelphia Ledger mentions as a
rumor that a treaty is now on foot between the Uni
ted States and the Florida Indians, which is likely
to result in peace. Report has it that the govern
ment has engaged the services of some of the Scmi
noles who have emigrated west of the Mississippi,
and that Alligator is now at Tampa, in conference
with Col. Moore. The writer adds :
It is also stated that the government agrees to
take the stock. «fcc., of the Seminoles at a fairvslua
tion, and pav the sum of *700,000. They also agree
to guarantee to Billy Bowlegs the chi-ftainship of
the tribe, even if they have to give him a different
locality west of the Mississippi.
This has alwavs been the sore spot with Billy, as
that portion of the tribe who have already emigra
ted have chosen Mieanopy for their chief. After
the death of Billy he is to be succeeded by young Sam
Jones, who, in point of talent and oratorical pow
ers is said to be a second Phillip or Red Jacket. He
is only about 28 yean* of age, but is, next to Billy,
the leading man in the nation.
Hon. B. H Overby and Hon. A. H. Stephens.
—On the night of the 21st, at the request of many 0 f
our citizens. Mr. Overby spoke at the City Hall to
a verv large crowd of citizens and strangers on the
Presidential question. His speech was mainly in
answer to a speech of Hon. A. H. Stephens, made in
this city on the 18th, in which that gentleman de
clared that the citizens of a Temtyry, under a ter
ritorial government, had no right or power to ex
clude slavery, and especially that the people of
Kansas had no right or such power under the Kansas
Nebraska Bill. Mr. Overby did not pre‘end to ar
4TUC that, but produced pass ages from the speeches
of Gen. Cass, Stephen A. Douglas and other great
lights of Democracy, from speeches made since the
passage of the Kansas Nebraska Act, in precise con
tradition of Mr. Stephens' strange and novel po
sition. He exposed with great power other subter
fuges and false arguments employed by the bogus
Democracy to deceive and mislead the people. He
declared himself a firm Union man, and closed with
a most forcible and well encomium on Miliard h ill
more, the worthy standard bearer of the American
party, and hoped and trusted that the country
might be so fortunate and highly blessed as to have
him again for her Chief Magistrate.— Atlanta lnUl

Imiocuhilioii in Yellow Fever*
The Courier ami Enquirer, in the course of an
able article on the Yellow perer, its pauses and its
enre- say;, that it iy proposed by those who maintain
that the disease is positively contagious, to prevent
attacks by innooulation, as in small pox. The
practice, as administered by Dr. Humboldt, obtain
ed some remarkable successes in New Orleans, but
was never regarded with much favor there. In
noculation has also been practiced to some extent
in Mexico; but has achieved its greatest successes
in Cuba. Dr. Humboldt was there afforded by the
Government an opportunity of testing the theory;
and the result was announced in a proclamation
frpm tjie Chief Sanitary Bureau, as follows :—ln
about seven months, commencing in December
1854, and ending in July, 1855, Dr. Humboldt in
noeulated, with his preservative virucs against the
yellow fever, twelve hundred and sixty-three men
in the navy,and twelve hundred and fourteen in the
army—making two thousand four hundred and
seventy-seven in all. Among these, there were two
hundred and twenty-eight cases <»i “black vomit,”
and only seventy-seven died. A statistical table,
attached to this certificate, gives tie- followin'*
statement oi the results of the practice ip Cjarcini’s
Hospital (Havana) during 1855 ’so.

Although these results are uotso favorable ns they
seen: ut first glance, they appear to render the the
ory worthy of some consideration. If a belief in
its efficacy could be generally established', it would
not bo without good results. The timid suffer much
from their apprehensions, and doubtless disease is
often brought on by terror. If innoculation can
give people even fancied security against yellow
fever, hundreds will, like the traveller who crossed
at night a yawning chasm on a single span, not
knowing the bridge had fallen, puss safely and

Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad.—
We are glad to learn that the Directors ot the Nash
ville ami Chattanooga Railroad have declared a
dividend of three per cent for the past six months,
after reserving fifty per cent of their earnings
for the purchase of additional rolling stock aud ma
chinery.
This is not only gratifying, as allowing the pros
perous condition ot the road, but as adding $15,000
to the resources of our city government—being the
amount of dividend bn the half million subscribed
on its behalf.
We have never lost our faith in ihis road, and its
final triumph over the difficulties that beset its first
period has not surprised us.
There is no Railroad in the country that has a
surer foundation for ultimate success than this.
The whole rich and teeming region of Middle Ten
nessee finds iu this road its proper outlet to the At
lantic market. ft also finds a great and necessary
source of social connection with the Atlantic States;
and by opening this channel of communication,
Nashville becomes a centre, having vary wide con
nections immediately, aud opeuing to herself a fu
ture of boundless promise.
The difficulty of the Nashville Railroad has not
sprung from bad management. The exigencies of
their route campelled them to make some bold cuts
through the hills of the Cumberland range, and the
caving in of brows of these cuts from excessive
rains, entailed an expense upon the Company that
swallowed up tjieir earning*. The track is now
clear, and we have reason to believe that the Nash
ville Railroad has become one of the safe invest
ments of the Southern country.— Ch. Aler.
The American Guano Islands. —The Journal
of Commerce learns that the American Guano Com
pany has dispatched an agent to the Pacific with
instructions to bring to Panama a load of guano
from either of the islands which it recently brought
to the notice of the public, iu connexion with the
visit of Commodore Mervine in the United States
ship Independence; and arrangements have been
made with the Panama Railroad Company to for
ward the same at the rate of $5 per ton. In case of
success such as is anticipated, it is thought this
loute will be the channel for future importations, as
vessels can make three voyages a year from the is
lands to Panama, instead of one to New York ; and
an inferior class of vessels can be employed, com
pared with such as would be required for the voyage
around Cape Horn. The agent goes to San Fran
cisco with means to procure a suitable vessel, and
as directed to proceed from thence to the Sandwich
Islands ; where ho is to lak» on boaru the necessary
implements, already provided, aud ship a crew of
twenty Kanakas, selected by Dr. Judd, whose son
is to accompany the expedition. The < tlicers in the
company are not in the least discouraged by what
transpired in connection with Commodore Mervine’s
visit to the guano islands.
Destruction ok a Ship by Fire. —The bark N.
Boynton, which arrived yesterday from Marseilles,
brought to port Capt. Lewis and the crew of the
Southern Belle, of Beverly, which lmd been de
stroyed by fire on the passage from Liverpool to
Boston. Capt. Hosmer, of the N. Boynton, reports
that bespoke the ship on the lfitli inst., in lat. 14 03,
long. 50 03; and on the 17th, at 12 M., saw a ship to
windward, running for him, and on her approaching
she proved to be ti e Southern Belle, on fire. The
bark laid by her for the condition of the shin to be
ascertained, and on opening the hatches she was
found on fire and full of smoke. The crew secured
what provisions they could and went on board the
ship, and at 8 P. M. flames broke out in a mass.
They laid by her until midnight, and at 3 A. M. the
flames suddenly disappeared. The Southern Belle
was a fine vessel of 1,198 tons register, built at Mar
blehead this year, and valued at $(50,000. She had
a valuable assorted cargo, a portion of which is in
sured in this city and the balance in Boston, where
the vessel is also stated to be insured.— Jour, of

Wine Crop of France and Germany. —A cor
respondent of the London Times, who has traversed
all the wine growing districts of France and Ger
many, says that the vine disease has spared the
vineyards this year, but the vintage, owing to the
unfavorable season, will be very small. In the gra
peries surrounding Bordeaux, i;.> iisease has been
very severe for two or three year.--, and consequent
ly there is but little fine wine, and the prices of all
the common descriptions have risen enormously.—
But the vine itself is regaining its natural health. —
From Bordeaux to Toulouse is one continuation of
hills and plains of healthy looking vines, less and
less carsa for as the distance from the former town
and of carriage increase. After leaving Toulouse,
we oome into the great wine districts, wuicli possess
a climate and soil nowhere in the world surpassed.
The disease has been violent,and stocks were never
so low or prices so high, and this year will be little
if any better; but all anxiety as to the decay of the
vine has vanished.
Child Eaten nr a Bear. —Near Rocky Pcint.
in Greenbrier county, Va., on Thursday week, at
the residence of Wm. T. Mann, George Fox, about
15 years old. was instantly killed ana partly eaten
up by a large pet bear, belonging to Mr. Mann.—
This boy had on the day previous killed a ground
hog, and in carrying or skinning the same got some
blood on his clothes. Not having changed his
clothes, the bear, probably excited by the soent ot
the blood, laid hold of him around tne body and
squeezed him until his ribs were broken, then
knocked him down with his paw, and eat very near
ly all the flesh off his face and legs before he was
dead. There being no one about the house but a
lady, she was unable to relieve him.

OBITUARY.
CARRIE AMELIA, only Daughter of Erasmus J.
and Albina C. Dozier, died in Jackson county, Fla , Oct.
20, lbso, aged two years live months and twenty duys.
Heatill (for this was her pet name,) was a remarkable
child for gprightliness, beauty, kindness, and affectionate
disposition. She was fondly loved by her parents, and
petted by her relations. On Saturday night beforo her
death, she was seized with fever, but arose Sunday
morning and passed the day without complaining. In the
evening her Mother proposed to ride her out, as she
feared that HkatlE did not feel well; the carriage was
ordered, and she rode some six miles, in company with
her Parents aud little Brother; ou returning, she sat up
to the table and eat her supper as usual, after which she
was prepared for bed, and slept quietly until between 9
aud 10 o’clock. Ou examination her fewer was found to he
increasing rapidly, and at 12 o’clock she was in convul
sions, which lasted her until 8 o'clock next morning,
when she breathed her last.
“ (), Death, thou hast all seasons for thine own.”
Died ia Appling, Columbia county, on Sunday night,
2d inut., after many days' painful suffering, Mrs. CAR< >-
LlNl-i It. CASEY, wife of Dr. 11. R. Casey, and daugh
ter of the Rev. Juriah Harris*.
Her death has left a void in the circle in which she
moved, that will not soon be tilled. In the varied rela
tions of life, she discharged her duty with a fidelity and
affection that endeared her to all who knew her. As a
wife and mother, her devotion knew no bounds ; as a
friend,,the most sincere ; around the couch of alltiction,
she was a ministering angel, dispensing blessings; but
the “ silver cord” is “loosed" which bound her to ail
that is dear upon earth. In beauty’s bloom she has faded
from our vision, as the morning flower that withers ere
it is noon. Daguerreotyped in the heart’s warmest emo
tions, long will she live in affectionate remembrance, and
many, many will be the tears shed upon the marble con
secrated to her meinorj. A FRIEND,
BANK OF GREENSBORO.’
At n Meeting of the of the
Bank of Greensboro’, held on .Saturday, the 25th ult, at
Greensboro’, pursuant to notice and the provisions of the
Charter, FRANCIS 11. CONE, AUGUSTUS B. COATES, JU
LIUS dyhsenfurth, Theodore l. Thompson, and
John 11. Coates were duly elected Directors of said
Bank. And at a meeting of the Directors held on the
same day, FRANCIS 11. CONE was unanimously elect
ed President, and THEODORE L. THOMPSON,
Cashier.
I call the attention of the public to the following pro
visions of the Charter •
Sec. 3d. The Capital Stock of said Bank shall be two
hundred thousand dollars, which shall be divided into
shares of one hundred dollars, but the Company may
commence business as soon as fifty thoushnd dollars in
specie shall have been paid—and the certificates of the
payment of the same shall have been made by the Ordi
nary of the county of Greene and recorded in his office.
The provision of the Charter has been complied with,
as will appear by the following certificate :
GEORGIA, GREENE COUNTY, )
Ordinary’s Office, Hept. 3d, 1850. >
I, Eu GENIUS L. KING, do hereby certify, that fifty thou
sand dollars in specie has been paid by the subscribers
to the Capitai Btock of the Bank of Greensboro’, and that
the same was counted by me.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand, the
dav and year above written.
EUGENICS L. KING, Ordinary G. C.
Recorded in Record, page 281, September 23, leofi.
EUGENICS L. KING, Ordinary.
The 17th section of the Charter of said Bank prescribes
the liability of the Stockholders of said Bank, and is in
the following words :
•• If said Bank at any time shall fai!, or refuse to re
deem any of its notes on demand, or pay any other of its
debts when due and payment demanded, it shall be law
ful for the holders of such bills, or creditors of said Bank,
asafore-aid, immediately to enter suit against said Bank
for the recovery of the same, and there shall be judgement
against said Bank at the first term of the Court to which
sa d suit shall be returnable, unless the President or
Cashier of said Bank will swear that the Bank has a
substantial defence to said suit and that said Bank is
less prepared for trial than it will be at the next term of
said Court. And when judgment shall be rendered
.against said Bank, execution shall issue on said judge
ment. which execution shall be first levied on the pro
perty of the Bank : but if no property of the Bank can be
found, the Sheriff shall make an entry on the execution
to that effect, and it shall be hia duty forthwith to levy
■aid excut ion ujK.nthe individual property of any of the
Stockholders and so proceed until said execution is sat
isfied."
It will be perceived that the Stockholders are not lia
ble for the debts of the Bank in proportion to the
amount of stock each one holds, as is the case with most
Bank charters But that each Stockholder, whatever
iaay be the amount of stock, he holds, is liable for the en
tire indebtedness of the Bank, and his property subject
to immediate execution This is a sure guaranty to the
public that the Bank will be managed with prudence and
•afety. FRANCIS H. CONE, President.

Weekly Report .Tuesday, P. M
C< )TSON.—The pas. week has been rather a quiet, one 1
lb the Cotton trade, ami the operations not largo, owing
to the limited quantity on sale and the firm stand of 1
koldors. The sales to-day have been small, and the !

Our market closed at the date of our last circular with
a good busiuesK doing at extreme prices, and the pre
sent week openod with no abatement of activity on the
part of operators. On Monday the arrival of the Asia
with advices of the same unfavorable character as those
previously to hand, and reporting three millions as the
outside estimate of the crop, gave an impetus to busi
ness and enabled holders to obtain a partial advance,
but the increasing stringency of the money market, and
unabated drain of bullion, inducing a general apprchen
siou of further restrictive measures on the part of the
Bank, a pause in operations speedily emmed, buyers act,
iug with reserve, and speculators iu some instances turn
ing sobers, holders, however, were generally very firin
aml though there has been a little irregularity we close
to-day with last Friday’s prices fully maintained ; mid
dling, owing to its comparative scarcity, is advanced
1-1 Gd. per lb.
The arrivals this week have been more liberal (if that
term is applicable to an import of 11,4!G bales,) and the
quantity alloat is now reduced to 4,000 bales against 55,-
000 at this time last year. The stock of American is re
duced this week by 28,130 halos.
The. Kangaroo, up yesterday, reported a frost in tho
vicinity of New Orleans, but this roquires confirmation,
and lias hail no eiFect here
To-day the sales are estimated at. 10,000 bales, 3,000
being op speculation and for export; tho market has
been well attended, and closes very firm.
Manchester—Business is admitted to be in an un
s itisfactory state, and failures among the smaller spin
ners are apprehended. —Hermann Cat <y Co,
LIVERPOOL, Oct. 17.— BrcadatuJU's. —Since Tuesday
there has been an active consumptive demand for choice
qualities of red and whito Wheat, at the full prices of
fiat day. Arrivals are pretty good this week, and largo
uyors hold oil until they roc a fuller assortment. For
Scotland and Ireland an extensive business has been
done, and heated lots of Wheat and Flour; indeed of the
latter article we may say that the market has been en
irely swept The continued bad accounts of the bar
est from both countries go to prove that they will need
arge supplies for the next three months, whic h we ex
pect will be chiefly drawn from this market, Continued
unfavorable weather has raised frosh apprehensions for
the Potatoe crop, which has led to considerable specula
tive demand for Indian Oorn, and all the good mixed of
fering yesterday at 36s Gd was at once taken up, chiefly
by the Greeks.
There was a poor attendance at market to-day, and as
the* bulk of the recent arrivals of Wheat is not yet sam
pled, there was only a moderate trade done at Tuesday’s
rates for choice lots of rod and whito —inferior sorts
could have been bought at little easier; but buyers bold
Isold off till next week. Flour of prime quality sells fast
at extreme quotations—the stock of such is now vory
light; inferior and sour sorts were sold largely today for
shipment to Glasgow. Indians Corn attracted great at
tention from speculators, and upward of 20,000 qrs. sold
from 33s Gd to 31* mixed, and 3-ls (id to 35* yellow, 35s (id
