Stanton, for himself and as executor, praying for the removal of J. Benedict, esq., from the position of Receiver of the Bank of Central New-York, of Utica, which has gone into liquidation.

Argument in this case is to be heard on the 18th inst. The supply of Money continues very abundant at previous rates, notwithstanding the contraction of loans by the Banks.
