Post Notss.-The Common Council had a special meeting this afternoon, to take into consideration the question of issuing small post notes to pay their debts. It was decided that 1t was eXpedient that such notes should De issued. They are to be composed of notes ranging from % cts. to $2, redeemable in February next, and at all times payable for taxes. We presume they will be immedi- ately issued to the amount of about $SlOOOO. This measure is good one. These notes will readily pass; and it will enable the city to prosecute it's improvements, and give la- DOT to very many poor industrious men who can now find no employment, and whose families are on the very verge of starvation. The question is to be finally decided this evening" and we have no doubt it will be unanimously concurred in.
