WILLIAM LEWIS, CVm. Fkancis Amory, See' v. RAIL ROAD MEETIXG. , A meeting of the citizens cf Vincel ) and its vicinity, is requested at -CiaVs hotel on Saturday the 7th day of Decern ber next, fur the purpose of adopting mea sures in accordance with the views of our fellow citizens of Evansv ille, as expressed' above. The subject is important, and it is des irable thc meeting should be general. Miami Treaty. The report that this treaty had been brought to a conclusion, without effecting a purchase, which we mentioned in our last, fortunately proves to be unfounded. The commissioners still treating with the Indians, but as their councils are secret, we cannot learu what the prospect is. The rumors brought from the treaty ground are of the most contradictory nature, and cannot be de-1 ponded upon. We hope to be cnablcxi to give an account of the conclusion of a treaty in our next. Fort Wunc Sentinel. A DECISION. The liability of banks to pay the whole amount for torn notes was recently decided before the New York Circuit Court in Schenectady- Somu torn notrs wrrii nrp. edited for navment. which the 'hank infiii j - scd to redeem for the full amount, for the reason, as was alleged that thev might have been torn for the purpose of adding together pieces from different notes, and increasing the apparent amount. The jurv vvnrr rlinrmvl t r rlnriilM in I'irnr nt' ...wv. . ... w.v plaintiff, if thev considered the bills gensj10,v:n,r fi nine, showing that thc bank had no right to judge in its own case, and decide what part they would not redeem. We have often thought that the right which thev frequently assume of crossing notes purporting to have been issued by them, on the ground of their being counterfeit, is very questionable, and it lsrtainly liable to great abuse. : It is, wc believe, very certain that notes have frequently been' Crossed which were genuine; and the temptation to do wrong, is too powerful to be trusted to any hands, Hall. Rep. T;:e Sugar Ckops. Thc early frosts Ul u,uaa uo"e ..r i . k i . i mucn damage to tho cune 1,1 mfUlv places so much, tint a:i tneuantity ot sugar whicu was cat - dilated on before the frosts came, will not be made. On Mr. Shepherd's estate alone, it is calculated that the frost has caused a loss of three hurtdi-ed hogsheads. Other plantations have sustained little or no damage, particularly in the vicinity of the city, where the fogs from the lakes, united with that of the river, had entircly protectcd the cane. The extreme dry weather, although unfavorable to the general health of thc country, is very lavoraf b!e to planters under existing circumstariccs. There is much well founded apprehension as to next year's crop, as there is very littie cane left, which will answer for seed. The injury to the cotton crops is not so considerable; the greater part of the crops having got out of the way of frost, or at least the damage being only partial. Xcie Orleans Advertiser. From the Globe. We observed an article in Saturday's Intelligencer in which notice is taken of a ! rumored deficiency in the funds of the Post Office Department. The administration of the affairs of that Department, by its present chief, has been distinguished by a rapid extension of mail routes to every quarter of the union; and by such improvements upon the great artones ot communication as have secured i to the principal cities opportunities of more j frequent and rapid correspondence with i each other. By the last Congress an act establishing an unusually large number of post roaris was passed. This threw upon the Department u load, which, with the unexpected increase in the price of the contracts for the eastern section of the Unio;:,

Yet, as this cannot be done, th l'o-tmaster vicncrai nas appnea nimscit with energy to the business of curtailing his expenses in a way, which together with the reat saving effected in the coutracts just let in the Sauth, will soon bring them within the current revenues of the Department. In the mean time the credit of thc Department is unshaken, and the annual report which the Postmaster General i

shortly to submit to the President, will ful- J

I v exhibit its condition, and, we believe, willfully satisfy thc public of the faithful and correct administration of its concerns. FIRE AT NORFOLK. Wc have to-day received a slip from the oflice of the Norfolk Herald, from which wc derive the following particulars cf the fire in that city on Saturday last, which wc mentioned yesterday: Bait. Gazette. "The fire, which occurred on Saturday morning, swept off the entire range of M combustible buildings on the South side of Main street, from Marsden' lane opposite Johnson's Hotel, westward, a distance of ,-),J." feet, leaving a prodigious gap in one of the busiest parts of the town. The tire broke out in the workshop of Mr. John Roberts, tinplate worker and brass founder, in nearly the centre of the range of buildings destroyed, about 1 o'clock, a. m. Thc houses themselves were of little value, but serious damage has been sustained by the occupants of them. From thc X. Y. Cour. c Enq. of JYbr. 4. FIVE DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND. Last evening tho ship Ajax, Captain Heirn, arrived from Liverpool, whence she sailed on the 30th of September.--We arc indebted to Captain Heirn for Liv erpool papers of that date, and London of UicCDih. No further intelligence had been receiv ed in England from Lisbon, and wc have therefore nothing further on the state of affairs iu Portugal, except a contradiction in a London piper, the Globe of the report that Marshal Bourmonthad proposed to capitulate to D n Pedro. That paper states, that in answer to a proposition to that effect made by the British Ambassador, Lord Wm. Russell , the Marsh; I had replied that ho did not feel himself in such circumstances as renders it expedient for him to decline recommending a further prosecution of tho contest. It is not without astonishment we perceive from the translations from French papers, that serious apprehensions are entertained that the Duchess do lierri in tends again to attempt a landing in that country. Rumors of an intended insurrection in Paris also prevailed. Should one take placc--whieh we do not believe it would proliably be with a view to the aoolllionof all regal power whatever, and nwttoa restoration of tho Rourbous. It had been believed in London that a serious insurrection luxd broken out in Constantinople, but it appears that nothing more iiad occurred i:i tho capital of Tur key than some nviv. of those disastrous conflagrations, which are so frequent. Tho Jrcadful explosion of thc steamboat New England has been the subject of a very appropriate commentary in the i Now York Evening Star, which clos r 1 n I the to. lowing words: "Tims were men, women, and children, without a mcmenfs warning, hurried into eternity valuable lives worthy citi zens excellent wives and mothers innocent children murdered to achieve a petty, contemptible triumph in a steamboat race! Are there no laws to punish such transactions? Cannot Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, unite with the state of New Yoik, in adopting a uniform system of laws, regulating the passage of steamboats, and enforcing their penal obligations iu the event of destruction of human life from gross negligence ? Must such scenes as arc hero described by the writer, again occur to distress a whole community ? We trust not" Commercial ttrgort. Frjm R. Levy's Price Current, J"cv. 2.
