.1 GOOD STORY.

“‘"JfSKJtnS bad. A year or two ago

i '“'‘i'dinner! capital! famous wine! glorious
_.but no cash.’
1 ^Theiandlord looked black.
t p v next time—often come this road—done
to day—go°d house yours—a great deal
bill way.’
*ne landlord looked blue.
iKn difference to you, of course?—pleasant
v 2: here—plenty of business—happy to take
border—long credit—good bill.’
V°‘Tbere is my bill, sir—prompt payment—T
; but I must go w ithout paying. Let us

S^fglr i say you are a swindler, sir!—I will have

-rpoks’from this time exactly, for I shall have to
this road again.*
"‘None of that, sir—it won’t do with me^pay
money, or I’ll kick you out.’
m*the stranger remonstrated—the landlord
kicked him out.
‘You will repent this,’ said the stranger.
The landlord did repent it. Three weeks af
ter that day, punctual to his word, the stranger
re-entered the Lion Inn—the landlord looked
VorV foolish-the stranger smiled, and held out
nis hand—1 I’ve come to pay you my score, as I
P Thehmdlord made a thousand apologies for
his rudeness. * So many swindlers about, there’s
i knowing whom to trust. Hoped the gentle
man would pardon him. ‘Never mind.
1 landlord; but come let’s have some dinner to
ffether—let us be friends. What have you got,
ph? a couple of boiled fowls, eh?—nice litte ham
ofyour own curing? good!—greens from your
own garden? famous!—bottle of sherry and two
bottles of port; waiter, this is excellent.’
Dinner passed over—the landlord hobbed
and nobbed with the stranger—they passed a
pleasant afternoon. The landlord retired to at
!Lna tn hia avocations—the stranger finished
his‘comforter, of brandy and water, and ad
dressed the waiter
waiter what is to pay?*
‘Two pounds ten shillings and threepence,
sir, including the former account.’
»And half a crown for yourself?’
‘Makes two pounds twelve shillings and nine
pence, sir,’ replied the waiter, rubbing his hands.
‘Say tw’o pounds thirteen shillings!’ said the
stranger, with a benevolent smile, 1 and call in
your master.’
* (Enter landlord, smiling and hospitable)—
‘Sorry you are going so soon, sir.’
The stranger merely said, with a fierce look,
‘1 owed you seventeen and sixpence three
weeks ago, and you kicked me out of your
house for it.’
The landlord began to apologise.
I . ‘No word3, 3ir; I owed you seventeen and
sixpence, and you kicked me out of your house
for it. 1 told you, you would be sorry for it. I
now owe you two pounds thirteen shillings,
(and quietly turning aside his coat-tail,) you
must pay yourself in a check on the same bank;
fori have no money now'—Bell's Weekly Mess

UNFOUNDED reports having been put into
circulation, in relation to the Bank of the
Valley, that it had stopped payment, &c., pro
ducing a general panic, we take this opportu
nity to assure the public of the injustice of such
report®, and of the perfect solidity and stability
of the Bank, its resources being more than am
ple to meet all its liabilities—and, to show the
confidence of those intimately acquainted with
its concerns, a bond has been executed by the
following gentlemen—worth from a half to a
million of dollars,—and left with the Cashier of
this Office, of w’hich the following is a true copy:
u We, the undersigned, having full confidence
in the solidity and stability of the Bank ot the
Valley, in Virginia, and being desirous to give
to all concerned unequivocal evidence thereof,
bind ourselves, and our heirs, jointly and seve
rally, to pay in specie the full amount of all notes
of the Office of Discount and Deposite of said
Bank, at Leesburg, and all deposites therein
made, to the respective owners and holders
thereof.
“ We are led to irive this obligation. pledging
°ur individual estates, in order to sustain the
Bank, and quiet the minds of our fellow-citi

lent in the country.

Baltimore Patriot Office, >
Tuesday, 1 o'clock, P. M. )
The Market.—A little more animation in the
Coffee market; 10 3 4 cents were offered for 400
bags St. Domingo, which ofTer was declined; it
freely brings 11 cents. There is no alteration
in prices of Tea; the grocers are well supplied;
a cargo daily expected from Canton. The sales
of Spices are quite inconsiderable; Cassia is
down to 12 12 cents. Pepper is held at 7 to 7
1-2 cents. Indigo, the stock in this place is in
few hands, and held at 81 25 to 81 35. There
has been some inquiry for Sugar for export; the
estimated sales last week were upwards of 800
hogsheads. Virginia Cotton is scarce, and
would readily command 12 a 12 1-2 cents. Rice
continues very dull; prime from 82 3-4 a S3.
Fruit, there is little to notice since last week;
the city is well supplied. New England Rum
in barrels, sales at 32 cents: hogsheads 31 cents.

A few barrels of untrimmed Shad have arrived,
which brought 86 a 86 1-4.
The Banks improve in their discounts. Large
quantities of specie that was drawn out during
the great excitement has been returned, and we
hope soon to see confidence restored, particu
larly towards country Banks.

wagon price, and $5 a $5 1-8 store price. Ar
rivals are very limited.

In the Senate, yesterday, a discussion of some
interest ensued between Messrs. CLAY, PRES
TON, SOUTHARD, and FORSYTH, on the
presentation of a memorial from New Jersey.
The appeal against the decision of the Chair,
(Mr. KING) admitting Mr. FORSYTH’S mo
tion to incorporate the whole Protest as a part
of one of Mr. POINDEXTER’S resolutions,
was sustained by a vote of 27 to 16. So the
amendment, very properly, wTas refused to be
received. Mi. CLAY theu offered an amend
ment to Mr. POINDEXTER’S resolution,which
that gentleman accepted. And then the Senate
adjourned.
The House of Representatives was engaged
with the Appropriation Bill all day.
