PHILADELPHIA, Oct. !, lo1@-


The creditors ofNicholson's estate held meet
ing last night to take into consideration the storm
Of opposition which is brewing against them.
The attempt 10 sell out thousands OF our OLD
Pennsylvania Farmers, who have been, for half a
century, in pesceablo and, as they believe, legal
possession of their estates, has aroused feeling
OF indignation which it will be found difficult to
suppress. Think of a farmer improving land for
long series of years, which had been purchased
and paid for fairly and fully, as he supposes, and
then the first ntimation of any thing being wrosg
ia the reading en- advertisement that his farm is To
be sold next month TO the highest bidder. The
,hise is srievous and am glad TO find that the
Commissioners have come 10 the wise CONCLUSION
of compromising with all who are willing TO do so

The busy mpertinent interference of otficous

the same may be said of the others especially those
in Southwark and the Northern Liberties.

tails readily at S. $50 per bbl., and wholesale
as high as s4.62. The shipments to foreign ports

The interest which the appearance of the ne|
Wing ALMANAC has excited here, must be no
less gratifying the publishers than the rush tor
the work will prove profitable. To politicians it
is invaluable and they are rapidly availing them
selves of the immense amount of political lntor-
nation which it contains.


AS something Of all oiisst 20 the above, Phlia-
dalphia turns out q new set OF Arthurs famous
Temperance Tales, which promise to do as much
good in the great moral reformation, now going
on as the Wing Almanac does in the important
work of political regeneration.
