The Aurora.
AVe have received the first No. of this
new paper, recently established in Wil
mington by Henry I. Toole, Esq. former
ly of this county. From the known and
acknowledged abilities of Mr. Toole, as a
talented and ready writer, it was confi
dently anticipated that the Aurora would
b6 edited with spirit and taste, and the
reader of this No. will feel assured that
the public will not be disappointed. It i
very neatly printed, and contains a great
variety of statistical and miscellaneous
matter. Wc copy the two following arti
cles from its columns.
Introduction -Before the Public, the
Aurora to-day appears a new candidate for
its favor.
Appealing to no party particularly fr.r
its patronage, not even to the community
which we hope to benefit for succor, we
throw ourselves trustingly upon the Pub
lic, expecting that degree of favor which
we shall be thought to deserve. Morfe
than this we have no right to clain;, and
shall not ask.
We have no pledges to make. We have
little faith in them when made by others,
and therefore can not expect more confi
derrce to be given to our own. That the

generations,. a large seaport in the State,
and thus redeeming it from the commer
cial vassalage which has so loug drained
and impoverished it
Our sincere acknowledgments are due
and are hereby tendered, to those friends
who have aided us byjheir subscriptions,
and especially to the liberal gentlemen of
Pitt, Edgecombe and Beaufort. Their
support is more appreciated, because .it
has been rendered irrespective of party
distinctions, and because among them,
have been spent the earliest years of our
manhood. Tameet such just expectations
as they may have formed will be our
strenuous effort.
The number of subscribers received, al
tho sufficient to justify the commence
ment of our publication, is far from suffi
cient to sustain it. We 'rely upon acces
sions to our list. To make sucl) acces

A ?2czv scheme. Some of the Neu
York papers contain a long letter from the
Hon. T. L. Clingman, a whi;; member ol
Congress from North Carolina, to Mr.
Simeon Draper of New York city, in rela
tion to the establishment of Batiks in dif
ferent parts of the country, for the issue of
bills based upon government stock, or for
an issue of Treasury notes to incorporate!
banks, or private bankers, upon a deposit'
of government stocks with the Secretary
of the Treasury.
It appears from other sources, that Mr
Clingman is not the father ol the sovc
mentioned scheme. Mr. Fillmore is said
to be its mother, and Mr. Clingnian only
officiated as accoucheur, if there is anv
truth in the following extract from a long
editorial of theVashington Union:
"The leading idea of the new hanking
project originated, wo believe, with. Air.
Vice President Fillnxsrc; and it has hcci;
put in practice in the Stale of New Yoi k.

ease of Milbank vs, Dcmnitoin anl Co
The suit was to recover from a luwise in
Liverpcol S10,000, as damages atisiag
fvom disobedience or ueglrct of instruction
and want of. care pn the part of a cominis
sion merchant, entrusted withthedispos.il
of 5000 barrels of flour shipped from this
city. It seems the flour was sold earlier;
than the directions suggested, at 21 .shil
lings per barrel, vhen, had it been kept
about three weeks longer it would have
brought 29 shilling. The transaction
was about the time the Biitiih Parliament
made a reduction in corn duties, and the
plaintiff's rcqucsi was to store the flour
until the reduction ofdutv should have its
anticipated fleet. Judge Stanford ex
plained that the only question for the jury
was whctlw the plaintiff had properly
sustained his p'-ea, llup intimating that, a?

verdict for tfl t.l SG 37.
