STATE BANK OF ILLINOIS. The charter of this Bank expired on the 31st ult. We learn from the Springfield Journal, that the Governor of Illinois, by authority of the last liquidation law, has appointed Messrs. N. H. Ridgely, Uri Manley and John Calhoun, trustees, for finally closing its affairs. The Board of Directors have assigned to these trustees all the effects of every kind of the Bank, and have given them full power to do every thing necessary for the performance of the trust. FIRE AT CINCINNATI.- - The Foundry of J. M. Niles, at the corner of Front street and the canal, was destroyed by fire on Tuesday morning, the 14th, at about 1 o'clock. The insurance had expired on Monday morning, says the Globe, and Mr. Niles had renewed it in the afternoon. It amounted to $3000, and nearly covered the loss. There was a fire-proof wall between the moulding floor and finishing room, so that the latter was saved, or else the loss would have been some $50,000. Mr. Niles had the wall fixed last winter, for fear of just such an accident. It will take only a few weeks to repair the damage, and Mr. Niles will commence repairs immediately.
