The Albany Argus gives glowing account
of a torch-light procession in that city, in ex-
ultation at the Veto of the Bank bill. The
only resolution adopted at the meeting, it
seems, was one declaring the members of the
Presidents Cabinet to be 'unworthy of the
public confidence" and that "they ought to
abdicate their places, that they may be filled
by persons more worthy of public conf
dence" This, for new friends, is rather pre-

Virginia was entered on Saturday or Sunday
night last, by means OF false keys, and robbed Of
ninety-t,co Thousand one hundred and Mfrfy-fue

this large amount were mutilated notes, issued by

The Wheeling Gazette says that the Veto pro-
duced great excitement in Wheeling. 1t could
not be believed, that paper says, by those who
remembered Mr.. Tyler's speech made in that city
on his way to Ohio, during the Presidential can
vass, 'when he pulled from his pocket an empty
purse, and shaking it at the multitude, ridiculed
the idea of metallic currency, abused the sub
treasury, and avowed a preference for good old
United States Bank notes.

the Wing papers generally with the Presi-

evidently labored effort to suppress indig-

that the Wing party are prepared to give up
President TYLER in body, rather than abate
one jot of their principles. Our quondam

hopelessness Of their efforts, by these indica-
tons, and abandon their enterprise

THE NEWS AND THE MARKET.

The New York Express says-The news from
Europe has caused some excitement in Flour
Private letters state that the weather has been un-
favorable for nearly three weeks, and that the
prospects of a good crop on the Continent
were not very good. Wheat had advanced
in Liverpool and London to SIS Ster-
ling, and Flour in bond had advanced from 2S to
30. These advices have induced holders to put
up the rate to S6i, although sales were made in
the early part Of the week at Ct to 3-9 for COM
mon brands Western.
The cotton market had declined l-3d--the con-
sequence is that our market has continued excess

GENERAL HARRISON.

a5-It is marvellous how easy it is for some
politicians to forget-and how ready they arc
to taLsify their opn acords and actions
when they think there is any thing to be
gained by it. This is strikingly illustrated
IN the course of certain Locofoco editors at
the present moment. But few short months
ago, Gen. HARRISON was held up by them
to the country as the "Bank and Federal
candidate'' for the Presidency-but no,c, they
say, he would have vetoed Bank, as Mr.
TYLER has done. The object of this is APP
parent They wish to aid as much as posi-
bic the labors of those who were recently ac-
ting with us, but in truth were not of us, and
who are now seeking the ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF
the Wing party-or at least to turn the fruits
Of its victory to their own individual account
That the lamented HARRISON may not be
mlsrepresented on this question, we quote the
clear and unequivocal declaration made by
him in his letter to Sherrod Williams
q would sign an act to charter another
Bank, ii 1t were clearly ascertained that the
public interest, i'll relation to the collection
and disbursement of the revenue, would ma

G!1Ihe Enquirer commends Mr.. Tyler for the
indignant manner in which, he "has criticised
the compromise" Now that is exactly what we
Cannot commend. The President of the u. S.
has no business with ''indignaion," it is a COM
modify for the exclusive use of the mass, the So
Dereigns; least Of all is it mete that he should
crlticlse any measure of Congress with ''indign4-

know our own feelings, when we say are sor-
ry that the President INDUCED any thing like
"indignation" in his message.-Compier.

does not contenance The interference with the in

The last intelligence from Florida is con,
tanned in a letter addressed 10 the Savannah
Republican, dated
EAST FLORIDA, Sept %, 1G41.
GENTLEMEN: Nothing particularly new
from Tampa Bay by the last mail. As the
mail rider was coming into PiIa,ka last night,
three Indians fired at him from a short dis
lance, about nine miles from that post, one
ball struck his horse about the shoulder,
which killed him after running about a mile;
the Indians followed, and nearly come up to
the express, when he drew his pistols, that
caused them to stop, perhaps 10 load their RI
files; this gave the express rider the start,
which he kept at a killing pace, until he
reached Pllatka, more than half dead himself.
A detachment Of dragons, under Captain
ker, was Immediately despatched to the
place where this daring outrage was commit
ted, but no trace Of the Indians beyond their
tracks following the express rider could be
discovered. Yours. truly.

LAW OF ADvERTlsING.-A decision has re-
Gently been made in England, which we
doubt not would be strictly followed in a
similar case in this country. From this is
apparent the necessity that advertisers should
accompany their communications with ey-
plicit directions. The case is as follows:-

This was an action drought by the plain
TIM, a newspaper proprietor, against the de-
tendant who had occasion to advertise in his

times, on the ground that the advertisement
had been intended for one insertion only

who in his anxiety that strict Justice should
be cone between proprietors of newspapers
and the public, had taken the opinion of two
Of the Judges on the subject, and agreed with
them in deciding that newspaper proprietors
uere justified in continuing the Insertion of
advertisement, not ordered for anu specific
number of times, until the SAM uere ordered
to be uithdrapn. His Honor said, it was
desirable that the public should DE made &C.
quaInted with this decision, in order that the
persons having occasion TO advertise may be
aware OF the necessity of stating on their
orders the number of insertions they NAV
require; if they neglect to do so, it was un-
reasonable to expect newspapers proprietors
TO attend TO that which was clearly the ad-
vertlser's own business. A verdict was then
entered for the plaintiff.
