Bank Excitement in 81. Loms.-We
learn from the Missouri Republican Of No
yember Ia, that great excitement existed
IN the city Of ST. Louis during the whole
Of the preceding day, in consequence Of
certain resolution published BY the direc-
tors Of the Bank of Missouri on the 18th,
that no currency but specie or the bills of
specie-paying banks would be received in
payment Of notes falling due at the bank
One or two public meetings had been held,
and a correspondence had taken place be-
tween the bank and the merchants, in con-
sequence Of which resolutions were enter
ed into expressive Of great Indignation al
the conduct of the bank, and Of dctcrmi-
nation to resist it even to the extent of
stopping payment on all notes held by the
bank, unless payment should be received,
as heretofore, in notes usually current in
that part Of the country.
Our latest account Is from the St. Louis
Bulletin Of November Is, which SAYS -
+" The excitement prevailing here at pres
cnt IN regard to the movement Of the bank
/ is immense. Business, in a manner, IS sus-
pended, and the all engrossing theme is
the conduct Of the bank. '-.Nat Intel.

Good out Of Eril-There are five States
IN which the choice of Senators 10 Con-
gress has been improperly deferred. We
shall now probably have of the five sus-
pended Senators, VIZ: one in each of the
States of New York, Michigan, Virginia
and Delaware, while the Locos must be
content with one from Pennsylvania.-N.

Tnportant.-The Baltimore Chronicle Of
yesterday contained the following para,

We regret to learn that three gentle
men &C this city, occupying respectable
positions in society. were arrested and held
to bail on Saturday, upon a charge of be.
ing concerned in fitting out vessels design
ed to be employed in the Slave Trade.
Look our for more Mwrel men.--A few
days since, two gentlemen in a carriage,
came into the neighborhood Of Joseph
Spurgen, Esq. in Davidson County, and
sold a Negro to Mr., Jacob Iokely, for
5000. Mr., Yokely paid them in two
horses, and 500 in cash--atter which
they left the neighborhood, The negro
seemed well pleased with his new home
until Saturday night last, when he dccamp.
ed, and has not been heard Of since. The
presumption is, from circumstances, that
the whole was designed by the negro and
men, to swindIc Mr.. Yokcly out of his prop
ertv. After the men left, he was seen to
have a 500 bill, and some specie, Mr.
Yokelv, is said to be an honest, hard-work.
ing man, but not so well qualified to Judge
between Murrcl man aud an honest man.
1t would be well for some of our honest
farmers and tradesmen to be more on the
alert towards strangers trathcking through
the country, in negroes and other stolen
propcrty.-WeStera Cdrolinidn.
