The packet-ship, Captain Delano, which sailed
from New York on the 7th inst., arrived here
this evening, a few minutes before the departure
of the train.
The yellow fever was very prevalent at Mo-
bile, and daily increasing. Its ravages were prin-
cipslly confined to strangers, and the residents
who had left the city in consequence were ad-
vised not to return until the frost had set in.
Mr. Webster had paid a visit to the city of
New York, and at a meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce, be made a lengthened speech, in
which he recapitulated most of the topics intro-
duced into his former speech at Boston, congra-
tulated his countrymen on the settlement of the
Boundary Question, and took a favourable re-
view of the acts of President Tyler, and the policy
which the executive had pursued.
Two steamers had arrived out—the Caledonia,
which left this port on the Bth ult., arrived at
Boston on the 2d inst., and the Great Western,
which sailed from Bristol on the 22d ult., arrived
at New York on the 6th inst. The packet ship
New York, which sailed hence on the Bth ult.,
arrived out after an excellent passage for a sail-
ing ship, on the 2d inst.

York would take place on the Bth, and upon its
result would depend in a great measure the fu-

Quarterly Review on the American press was the
production of the same pen.
Freights were very low, and the rate of Ex-
change was also unusually Ipw-6 per cent. Bu-
siness, as usual, continued dull. The next meet-
ing of Congress, which would take place she first
week in- December, was looked to with much
anxiety.
The Planters and Merchants' Bank of Mobile
failed on the 25th of October. A day or two
previous it had resorted to an issue of post
notes; but these the Bank of Mobile and the
Branch Bank of the State of Alabama refused to
receive. The holders of these then applied to
the Planters and Merchants' Bank to have them
redeemed, not in specie, but in the inconvertible
paper of the other banks of Alabama. This was
refused, and the bank furthermore refused to pay
the checks of depositors in anything but post
notes.
