EBnWe learn from a reliable source that the steamer Peytona, on her last up ward trip, refused to land, though hailed, for a number of passengers who were waiting for her at Laconia. This would have really been no special cause of com plaint had she not been advertised to touch there on that trip bound up; and in view of such promise number of per sons some of whom were ladies and chil- dren-were on the bank at night await ing her arrival. They wished to go tc Louisville, and were therefore exceeding ly anxious to go on her, and we know the disappointment under such circumstance was by no means trivial one.
 Steamers should never advertise to lant at any point unless it is the positive in tention of the officers to do so, if hailed We are not so sure that such failure, un der such circumstances, would not subjec a boat to damages.
