her if he should have the pleasure Of

street, when suddenly the lady dlsap-
peared, leaving the gentleman with the
bundle lnh his hands, hallooing after her,
for it seemed he was too much aston

to think what the bundle contained, for

the 7oth year Of Ills age. Mr.. Way was one
of our most respectable citizens, and in the

pitable, a good husband, parent ana friend

and friends to lament his loss.
On Saturday morning, FRANCES, wife OF

est possible price. Hence their reiterated
and, as the time now approaches, desperate
efforts to destroy the credit of the Bank ant
sink the value of the stock, by obtaining &
transfer ofthe Public Deposits to the State
Banks. We believe it is now generally un-
Iderstood, that the effort will be in vain, and
that Amos Kendall's mission will end in dis
appointment. There are good and solid rea-
sons for this belief. The banks in Philadel-
phia we have been Informed, have rejected
Amos Kendall's overture-and it is not pro-
bablc that any bank ANY reputation or char
acter will accept of it upon the terms he pro-
poses, of mutual security-with a certain
prospect of having his proceedings overturn-
ed by the next Congress. Since Amos set
out upon his embassy, the Bank Stock has
risen two per cent, a certain proof Of the in
difference with which the public regard his
present labors for their good The stock sold
yesterday at S1f1.75. We believe it will
be difficult for the public mind to realize the
nefarous and Ubiquitous scheme which under
the pretext of public good. a gang of specu-
lators at Washington and New York has been
prosecuting formany months past against an
institution upon whose stability so much of the
national prosperity depends.

VIRGINIA. A meeting of the citizens of
Mecklenburg county was held on the 18th

formally nominated as candidate for the
Presidency of the United States. Mark Al
exander Esp. late member of Congress,
and one of the warmest admirers OF
Gen eral Jacksonin that body, introduced the
resolution in speech, in which he invoked
the virtue and patriotism of the people to
s'frec the country from the mischevous intnu-

trade in politics." The Richmond Wing
says-"The popularity of Mr.. Leigh is great

some dogs who are valuable to their own

the kitchens of your neighbors, even could

is this, that no dog be suffered under pc
