The health of RaItimora

We perceive from the Baltimore Patyio.
that that city's health report for the last week
shows but Sc deaths, out of population Of
about 225, 600, We believe. This proves that
on the whole, that city is remarkably free
from sickness. We have to say to the Patriot,
that what We published not long since con.
corning the presence Of yellow fever in Balti.
more, was derived from official reports, of the
existence of which We managed to obtain in.
formation. We know that it was reported Of
fcially that go deaths had occurred in the vi.
cinity of the receiving ship, from yellow fe-
yer" and that the surgeon, on that account,
advised the closing Of the rendezvous, tempo
rarily. Our friend Of the Patriot will Der.
ceive, therefore, that our warrant for our
statement in the matter could not possibly
have been better.

Legitimate Banking In New
District Of Columbia.

Legitimate Banking IN New
District Of Columbia g..
We call the attention of the readers Of tn
Star to the following expose, found in the
New York Express of last evening:
| The recent breaking up of the Merchants
Exchange Bank of Anacosts, D. c., has in
duced US to make some inquiries relative to
tho other banks of the district The facts
readers. They refer more particularly to the
Manufacturers Bank of Georgetown, D. g.,
against the circulation of which OUT readers
are cautioned. This bank was established by
an insurance agent of this city, and the notes
were engraved and printed by Messrs. Well
stood, Hanks & Co.
| The Insurance agent referred to, did not
however, circulate any of this fPurious issue,
but sold his interest in the pfOtes and notes
of this city and late of Massachusetts, for tho
sum Of five hundred dollars, and he without
making any considerable issue of those shin
plasters, re-sold to one Ats Osgood, of ORA
cut, Mass, who being Spectator, circulated
the following amount in various States in
New Hampshire $3.50, in Massachusetts about
ST. 900, in New York about $500, making an
aggregate of nearly $4,000. His known spec.
ulative humor now acted upon him and his
project, to the complete destruction of his
banking operations; his friends, however, re-
deemed the entire amount of outstanding liza
bilities of the bank.
The plates and bills of the bank then, in
February last, passed into the hands Of AL
fred Hyde, now also connected with the bank,
which has induced this inquiry. His first
business was trip to Washington, where, We
understand sign was painted and affixed to
the door of the store Of jeweler of that city,
or Georgetown, with the understanding that
that firm should redeem any of the notes that
should be presented there. The bills were
then circulated through the recommendation
of the different Bank Reporters in large sums,
which thus far, We believe, have been daily re-
deemed in this city. How long it will con-
