Mr. Taylor, in a letter of well-deserved thanks for the kindness ss of the people to him, gives it as his "erious advice to highwaymen never to make choice of the state of Ohio for the theatre of their exploits!"

It may be proper to add, that some medical opinions, not known to the meeting, did not concur in that report-but it is believed that, even in their estimation, the proportion of malignant cases is not increased, and we are induced to hope their opinions, by reposing much on principles of theory, may not have been founded on a practical view of the facts-for it seems to be admitted on all sides, that such cases as have ap Adjutant general's office, Brownsville, Aug, 4, 1819. peared, do, almost invariably, present themselves The major general commanding, having accom-whether the season proves healthy or not-with re plished his tour of review and inspection of the gard to these opinions, however, every information posts on the waters of the western lakes, has much is now, and will be, given to the public, that may satisfaction in expressing his approbation of the very excellent state of police and discipline in which the troops were generally found.

In the mean time, several cases of this same description have appeared at Fell's Point, and in like manner thus far are very confined in their range. In any event the utmost attention will be paid to observe their course and obviate their causes and extension-as, on this subject, long and dear bought experience has placed much within the control of police regulations which have already proved advantageous, and will continue to be enforced with unremitting assiduity and determined rigor.

The following account of an occurrence that took place while he was a prisoner with the British, is highly characteristic of our Yankee

Banks and Banking.

U. S. bank stock-from 94 to 95, very few sales. The bank of the United States has given notice, that after the 1st of Nov. next, it will not "hold itself responsible upon any of its notes, which shall be voluntarily cut into parts, except on, the production of all the parts."

We have heard a good deal of buzzing about some proceedings at this branch, but have not understood the nature of them, except that there was some new botheration Rag against rag! From an Indiana paper we learn that some person named Bigelow, who has a bank at Jeffersonville, pays his own notes with those of some other man called Piatt. What does Piatt do with his notes?

New Jersey. It is denied that the state bank at Trenton has stopped payment, as was reported.

Pennylvania. The bank of Reading has stopped payment. This event is said to have been brought about by a well-intended effort of the bank to raise its paper to par at Philadelphia, by a specie deposit in one of the banks of that city; but that the directors of the city bank, instantly whetting their razors, commenced shaving the Reading notes and soon exhausted the deposit. Very honorable bank directors!-but the thing was "as well as could be expected." The Northampton bank has also stopped. The North Western bank is said to be in the same situation.

Richmond. We have reason to believe that the number of failures reported to have taken place in this city, was greatly exaggerated.

KENTUCKY. Bankruptcy recommended!—At meeting of the citizens of Bullitt county, held on the 22d ult. it was resolved, with only two dissenting voices, that:

"It is confidently believed that the suspension of specie payments by the bank of Kentucky and its branches, will tend so ameliorate (in a considerable degree) the embarrassments by which the people are at present circumvented; a suspension is therefore recommended."

Farmers and Mechanics bank of Cincinnati. This bank, it is believed, was greatly indebted to the U. States, previous to receiving the public deposits since then, to support its credit, it was allowed permanent deposit of $100,000. Are we to lose the whole, for the benefit of the rag-barons? Butno cost can be too great, if modern banking is de. stroyed by it.
