Leaving a balance of $1,055,000 of $610,000 Of which amount the sum of one hundred and fifty thousand is now within the command of the Fund Com- missioners. This shows, we think, conclusively that the indebted- ness of the present year cannot be met. The means provided are an issue of $1,800,000 of State stock, not to be sold under par. These constitute the domestic bonds with which the contractors are to be paid. They are not worth 50 cents on the dollar now. The real state of the case is that the State has but $390,000 to meet $1,665,- 000 between now and July, a deficiency of $1,275,000. Mr. Cornell, the Cashier of the Mechanics' Banking Association, is, we understand, an applicant for the re- ceivership of the Lafayette Bank. There are strong ob- jections always to appointing an officer of one bank as a receiver for another failed institution, for many reasons. Among others the officer of a bank has as much as he can do to attend to the interests of the stockholders, from whom he receives a salary. But this is not all. If such a precedent should be established it might lead to collu- sions between the officers of different banks, which in case of ultimate failure, might be forever concealed from the stockholders through the agency of the receiver. For instance we will suppose a case. There might be an individual who is a director in two institutions, A. and B. Through influence with the cashier of A., he may obtain a special loan say for $4,000, and when a visit from the Bank Commissioners is expected, he may, to meet it, draw a check on B., and its cashier may mark it "good" in red ink in the usual way, although there are no funds to meet it. This check so certified may then be counted by the cashier of A. as among the notes and checks of other banks on hand." The sud- den appearance of the Bank Commissioners to examine, might then cause this check to be sent unexpectedly to B. for payment, when it would figure among his over- drafts, and be converted into a special loan by the depo- site of the stocks of A. as collaterals, which may fall on his hands and the bank sustain a loss of one half more on the failure of A., and the appointment of the cashier of B. as the receiver, a whole train of similar transactions might be covered up, and "special loans" of all the parties be swallowed up without the stockholders finding out how their money goes. We have here supposed a case in order to point out what abuses might arise from allow- ing the officer of one bank to have the settlement of the affairs of another institution. At New Orleans on the 11th, the panic had somewhat subsided. The holders of bank funds invested them in cotton as rapidly as possible, which caused an advance of ¼ a cent in the article: 1500 bags changed hands. The state of the currency was as follows on a specie basis:- Bank'le funds 7 to 9 r.c.dis. Impr't Bk f'da 35 to 40 p. c. die. Municipal do 8 to 10 " Exch'ge Bank 60 to 65 " Sight Ex onNY 2 to 3 " Blue back C'ks 20 to 30 " Orl's Bk funds 65 to 75 " Alabama funds 18 to 21 " Atchafalaya do 55 to 60 " Tennessee do 15 to 17 " Exchange on New York was actually at a discount for specie. In relation to the failure of the Merchants' Bank the following notice was published:- # COMMERCIAL BANK OF NATCHEZ, March 9th, 1842. # TO THE PUBLIC. No person could have been more surprised than I was to learn this morning that the Merchants' Bank of New Orleans had on the 7th inst refused to pay the drafts of this bank, as at that time the Merchants' Bank was in- debted to this bank over $150,000 for deposites made to meet the drafts, and besides held a large amount of bills belonging to the bank, all maturing within twenty days. In consequence of the distrust of the Merchants' Bank, created by the attachment in January by the govern- ment, I visited New Orleans, and while there had the

W Stuyvesant, situated in the Eleventh Ward, for which she agreed to give $2,250. paying ten per cent down. She subsequent. ly filed a petition in this Count, praying that the sale might be annulled, and the ten per cent paid back, on the ground that the title was defective, in consequence of the widow still possessing her dower. A counter statement was put in by Gerard Stuyvesant, one of the sons and heirs, who averred that the widow of Robert R. Stuyvesant (now Mrs Peckham) had sold and resigned claim to her dow. er for $30,000 Ordered, that the petition be denied with costs.

It has also large stock of furs in London, which are unsaleable, or only at ruisous prices. The sales made in that market have been nearly all loss, the prices of fors having been for some years past at lower there than here. We regret the failure particularly on account of Mr Crook, than whom more respectable, honable and untiring merchant does not live.
