s of interest to the commercial community. The meeting organized by calling Horace L Kent, Esq., to the Chair, and appointing Mr. George J. Sumner, Secretary. On motion of Mr. Jas. B.

hu, slap, bash, bang — off it went. We confess we killed none that day, but we made the feathers fly. Off they went, sailing around and around again, and there we stood in the rain, trying to get off our second barrel, which varied a bad habit it had of snapping by only a single flash in the pan, that being the nearest approach it made to firing, on that occasion, at least. The note of the wild goose is exceedingly musical to our ear. When a large flock cry altogether, there is what Shakespeare calls a musical discord in the chorus, that Is more enlivening than the cry of a full pack of hounds. During the time alluded to above, we lived near a number of rocks constituting the Maiden's Adventure falls, on which the geese used to rest at night. They came thither from all quarters of the country, within fifty miles. We have very often gone into the midst of the rocks, and waited for them until they came. In this way we killed several. A more experienced sportsman might have kil

The Hunting season. We write this article in the country; time, Wednesday, 11th November, 1860. The sky is overcast — the air is cool and bracing — not a breath of air is stirring. We never saw a more glorious day for shooting. All sportsmen know that on such a day the birds come out into the open field, whereas they are apt to take to the woods when the weather is very bright, as it is almost sure to be during the Indian Summer. Game, we are told, is very abundant every where. Partridges fly up in the fields at every hundred yards or so, and bares abound in all directions. Sportsmen seem disposed to make the most of the season, and the fear is that they may make too great havoc with the game. To this abundance there is one exception, and that an important one, in the district from which we write. It is said that the race of wild turkeys is nearly extinct. We are sorry for it, with all our hearts. The turkey is certainly the noblest of all our feathered game. It is very

The Chairman stated, however, that by conversing with members of the Conference Committees, he was satisfied that they would be willing to do what they could to relieve the mercantile community, so far as the receipt of notes of country Banks, on deposit could relieve them. On this statement being made, a resolution was adopted, recommending the city Banks to "receive on deposit and pay out" the notes of all solvent Banks in this State; and then the meeting adjourned to meet again on Monday evening next. The signs of increasing alarm and embarrassment are quite abundant. Yesterday we received news of the failure of the house of Harris & Sons, Baltimore, prominent Bankers of that city. The pressure is severe in all directions, and none can foresee when and where it is to end. As the causes are political, never had the country so much need of great and prudent men in council; and the fear is, that this class of men never were so scarce.

Exchange on New York was sold at 7 or 8 per cent, premium; and on Philadelphia and Baltimore at 2 ½ or 3 per cent.
