TeUoio Fever at Baltimore.—Several letters received in town by yesterday’*: morning mail, give th&alarming informa- tion, that the yellow fever has at length found its entrance into that JU fated city. and the information is corroborated by other letters by .the mail of this morning. In vain, however, have we searched the Baltimore newspapers -for tjie least infor mation-on this important topic. Nut even an editorial sentence can we find. We confess we were not so unreasonable as tc expect an official report of their board <>! acaitli. By the bye, it’could be much near er the truth to denominate these bodies, wherever they have existed, ifthey still ad here to what has-everjbe.cn (hcic practice; a board for cuncealing.tlie.true state of the city. Their exertions been- rather directed to.prevent everyMc/nd of publica-’ tion that might expose-theiu to be^ quaran tined abroad; considering any-interxuption of their commerce, as the greatest of all possible misfortunes. '1 he only, thing in any of the Baltimore paper* relating to tho -subject under consideration is a learn ed communication under trie signature of Benevolus, (it should havebeen Medic us.) endeavoring to.convince ‘the Bal timoreans, not indeed, “by force of argument,-a man’s no horse,” but that the yellow fevei is not contagious, and that, quarantine regula tions ..re not merely useless, but in the language, of the writer, “the mis-shapen progeny of the dark ages;” “which havi long disgraced and deformed oiir-codes.” We cannot but think’that thirl information and opinion-is remarkably well'timet|, just at a moment when facts, at diametrical va riance with the scientific theory of Benevo lus are already beginning to Stare the citi zens in the face, and threaten to depopu late the town, or spread a death-doing pes tilence throughout its borders. We trust, nevertheless, that;however such doctrines, which set common sense at defiance, and outrage humanity, may obtain circula tion at Baltimore, those who have .the care; of our city committed to their charge.

The failure of the steam boats is •ttriuutable to the construction or manage meat, and not to the rivers. S;. Xibuis, July 14. Military expedition to the Upper Mis souri—Of the five steam boats prepared by col. Johnson for this expedition, only three (the Expedition, Johnson,and Jelfer- 6on,) nave attempted to ascend the Mis souri. The Calhoun fell back from Cape Girardeau, unable to stem the current of the Mississippi; the Exchange returned from St. Louis, to get some repairs made upon her at Louisville. Those which un dertook to ascend ti;p Missoori, left Belle Fontaine Monday the 5th inst. and clear ed St. Charles, distant 21 miles, on Fri day and Saturday, the 9th and 10th.— The river is still swelling with the July flood; and presents a noble sheet of water, eight hund'ed yards wide, and deep enough for the navigation of ships <*f a thousand tons. A multitude of citizens were assembled at St. Charles, at the cir cuit court, and had an opportunity of wit nessing that the slow progress of these boats wa* the exclusive effect of faults id themselves, and not of the river.

We understand that the directors of the Bank of IVashington, of this place, influ eneed by the unpleasant incident* which have recently occurred insomeofthe banks of a neighboring city, as wall as by gen eral principles have adopted the following rule.' “No officer, other than the president, shall deal, either for himself or for any oth er, excepting this bank, in money, bills of exchange, merchandise, stock of tho United States, or stock of any coibnany, incorpo rated or unincorporated: Provided, that this resolution shall not prevent such offi. cer trom selling any such articles as he may now possess, or prohibit any purchase thereof, which the board may sanction by express authority, given antTentered on its journals*” - - -M.’" -• ■ The-expediency of applying a similar principle to banking institutions, generally has for some timeb-en a topic ofdiscussion in private -circles. Various, and in some respects opp wife, aspects have been given to it. Its abstract propriety does not seem to have been quesl’oned, except ing by those immediately affected by the restriction, but it has been speciously said, that the officers, of a bank will be either honest or dishonest. If honest, no such restriction of their personst rights will be necessary; if dishonest, no such restriction will be observed. *- There Is however, we pprehend, great fallacy itrthrs reasoning When the moralist, in the exultation of his feelings, exclaimed, “An trouest man’s the noblest work of God,” he pourtrayed a be ing of a superior order, one rarely found among us; a being a proof against the strang est trials that endanger virtue. Thete, unfortunately, are not the attributes of common honesty. The possession of these, too frequently, is not proof against strong temptations. Hence it i* desirable to keep him as much as possible out oftheir sphere. Snch a principle, laid down as the guide ■of hi* conduct, and enforced by the sanc tion of an oath, will have a powerful influ ence on all minds not already pervert ed. After the application of such a rule, when tcashier or other bank officer as sumes his appointment, ho does it subject -o this principle; haappeals to God foe the fidelity with which its will observe it; ud A citizen ol Maryland, considering ':im> self entiled .to. goods which he thought had been illegally and unwarrantably wrested from him by the collector of this port, sued out a wi»t of replevin./rom, the court of Anne Arundel county, fog the purpose of trying the'tiffe to them!
