which she had put up at the druggists con-
sisting of little water colored with hquo-
rice, and bottled with a glaring poison la

some of it, and actually poured it into
wine glass, she screamed for help, and ran

that Gen. Augur has been appealed to by

The Banks Of New Orleans.
AppnRss OF THE PRESIDENTS.


The undersigned, Incorporated banks anu
bankers of the city of New Orleans, deslro
to inform the community of the motives
that actuate them in partially snspending
the payment of currency upon their oe"a"u
obligations.
Owing to the partial suspension OF esrren.
CIV payments by the associated banks Oh
New York and other Northern cities, and
| the consequent refusal of Western and otn-
er banks to receive checks on New YORK, as
| in regular course in settlement OF collec-
| tions. made here for their account, 1t Is as
certained that very large remittances hence
have been made upon peremptory oroers
within the past five days.
To SUCH an extent, indesd, hos this pre-
| vailed, that at the same rate only lew
DAVIS must elepse before our vaults and the
community would be entirely depleted OF
the means essential to the ordinary move
l ments of trade.
At the present moment, Foreign Exchange
is unstable in New York, and as we derive
from this source our main supply OF curren-
CIV, we are now thus deprived OF our only
means of restoring the amounts lost by ship
| ments to the West and to the interior.
We have therefore taken this step, as q
means of selfprotection, and for the benehs
II
interests and as the only manner through
which the incoming crops can be moved
without ruinous saci6ces in prices
The duration Of this protective potcy II
limited to period of thirty days, during
!, which time we are confident the daily re
! ceipts Of cotton and sugas will afford US
prompt and ready relief, and compel eur
/, rency to seek this market.

Persistame Robbery.

There il in this town member or MEM
bersof the cracksmen craft, who are not cas-
ily discouraged, and who take for their mot
to the words, 'their is no such thing as fail
ure." About week ago Mr.. Jonas Rcseh-
thaps store was opened and robbed in the
following manner. Some one evidently per-
fectTy well acquainted with the building and
all the habits of it's occupants, climbed up o
post of the verandah and raising the win
dow of the bedroom where the clerk slept,
took the key of the store from his pocket,
and opening the front door proceeded to
help themselves 10 a complete Pedlar's out
fit amounting to three or four hundred dol
lars worth of goods, which they packed up
neatly in bundles and trunks, and carried
out to the lot back of the store, from
whence they most likely intended to re-
move them in vehicle which they had
ready. They were not satisfied, however, as
it seems, for going back into the yard, they
got spade out of the stable and priced
open the back windows shutters of Mr.. lie.
graz the Tax Collectors Office, broke oper
his desk and runmaged through his paper'
generally, without, however, finding any
thing valuable enough to reward them fol
their trouble. About this time as is con
jectured, day began to approach, and tn
butchers coming to market discovered tn
plumber and gave the alarm and all tn
goods were recovered.
On Wednesday night last the store of MI
John We'll, on Front Street, was broke
open in the rear, and large quantity {
goods, assorted as in the former instances
q were stolen and successfully carried of
!. Considering the circumstances, there is n
a doubt that the same party or parties VIII
attempted the first robbery committed ii
last, and taken all together, they were tv
of the boldest and most impudent transa
lions of the kind we ever heard of. In Il
rooms above Mr.. Rosenthal's store thr
y persons slept, each one Of whom had fir
