ting on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal,

another over the nose, anil was then, as is
supposed, thrown into the Canal, IN &C
cordance with which particulars the jury
rendered its verdict. 1t was ascertalned
that he had been in the employment OF
Messrs. Humben 8. Robinson, contract
ors at Dam No. 4, and there is no doubt
but that he was brutally murdered.

to them that meetings be held in every

raise funds to be invested for the use and

daughter of the late Commander HERN-

heart of generous, grateful, sympathizing
woman. Mrs. MAGRUDER, in her appeal,
after referring TO the loss Of the America,
says -

pared 10 return delinquent lists and 10
make final settlement Of the years tax
es, which may not be for many months to
come. This will show the importance Of
prompt payment Of taxes to the Sherfis,
who are required, as soon after the ls Of
October as possible, TO make out lists Of
delinquent tax payers, other than on real
estate, and post them at the front doors Of
Court Houses.

The Banks.

1t is unnecessary 10 consume our space
by giving the details of the Bank suspen
sions, failures of stock-gambers, specula-
tors, &c. Suffice it TO say, nearly all the
Banks have refused to redeem their notes
with specie, for the reason, we are told,
that the brokers, who had their paper,w i'll
draw all the specie from their vaults.
That is to say, the Banks have larger
amount of paper in circulation than they
can redeem and the brokers, rreferring
specie to their notes, as il is Uorih more
are calling upon them for that article. BY
suspending, the Banks have all forfeited
their charters, but will throw themselves
upon the mercy Of the Legislature, anu
plead the necessity of suspendlng specie
payments.
