NEW YORK, May 29.
There has been another grain robbery of that
character becoming so common, but which will as-
suredly act most detrimentally to trade. Messrs.
Scott and Munsen, of 91, Wall-street, have been
established over a year in storing grain on the
North Pier of the Atlantic Docks, Brooklyn. Last

week they sold and delivered a large quantity, and
that grain had been already sold by its owners, the
purchasers who came to inspect it being shown other

or the same grain, and thus the firm were enabled to
abscond with $20,000, which, however, was not
one-third the loss entailed on the community. The
well-known confectioner, Mr. Van Nostrand, ad-

vaned 530,000, believing in the honesty of Scott
and Munsen. They occupied six stores, and for the
rent of these he had made himself responsible. Both

Scott and Munsen were young men, hitherto of good
reputation ; the former is amarried man, and was once
a clerk with Messrs. Laimbeer, Pinto, and Co. ;

the other, an unmarried man, for years a clerk with
Mr. Greenleaf. As usual, unfortunate speculations
have converted these men into rascals, and thrown

upon society as a nuisance and a pest two persons
who, but for the gambling habit now so prevalent
in this city, might have been useful members of the
community'; indeed could not have failed to be so
ftom the for unate start they had obtained. 'The
stockholders of the Atlantic Bank of Brooklyn
have been equally surprised and dismayed
by finding a large deficit in the accounts on
the investigation of its affairs which followed the
death of Mr. W.Rushmore. It may be recollected that
this gentleman was among those killed by the acci-
dent on the Long Island Railroad. After this most
respectable individual had been mourned over and
buried, Mr. George S. Puffer thought it about time
to look into the accounts, and the further he looked
the more open became his eyes. The idea of the
proprietors was that next July they were to divide
535,000 of this prosperous bank's earnings, its
capital of poomo being of course secure, and a
considerable sum earned. First it was discovered
that half the capital was gone, and the news spread-
ing abroad a run followed, which was met by the
prompt action of the directors—Mr. Puffer, Judge
John A. Lott, the Hon. Henry C. Murphy, Peter G.
Connell, Henry K. Sheldon, B. Valentine, John
French, and William Hunter, jun.—who agreed in-
dividually and collectively to sustain the shock, and
carry the bank through. This quieted the threat-
ening storm, and on investigation it was found
that Mr. Rushmore had been investing largely in
real estate, and speculating in railway stocks and
bonds. The title deeds were deposited with the
bank, labelled to secure the bank ; but as it now
stands they belong to Mr. Rushmore's estate. Mr.
Catherwood, contractor of the Newark and Patter-
son Railroad, has largely overdrawn, his account,
but he maintains that the security is sufficient, al-
though the directors do not think so. In the pre-
sent stage of the proceedings, it would be unjust
unreservedly to condemn the late Mr. Rushmore,
who mayonlyhave been guilty of very great impru-
dence and mismanagement. On Tuesday the hun-
dredth anniversary of the old Dutch Church, the
Collegiate North Reformed, was celebrated in Ful-
ton-street. 'The Rev. Thomas de Witt presided,
The church maintains its old Dutch character, the
services being conducted according to the Dutch
Reformed. lts burial yard was once surrounded
by fields, and when it was dedicated it was in the
Dutch lmaguag4_,, It is one of the few old buildings
we have in America, and has a history of its own,
for George was our King when first its doors were
opened, and it has seen the royal ,troops within its
walls when ased as an hospital. This was the day
chosen for la/lug the corner-stone of the new Dutch
church now being erected at the comer of Fifth-
avenue and Forty-eighth-street. It will cover
12,000 supericial feet ; there will be three spacious
doors on the Yifth-avenue and one on Forty-eighth-
street, and the tower will be at the corner, 225 feet
high. A aid spire, 85 feet high, will be at the
Forty-eigh tl- street extremity; the style is the En glish
Gothic of tht 13th century, the cost over pOOOO,
to be compbted in two years. Last Saturday
night Wallate M'Daniels murdered Thomas Corwin
with an oal stick at the Rosendale House, the
stopping plate of the fast travellers on the Central
Avenue, Moirisania. Corwin's wife was living with
M'Daniels, :n whose name the Roseadale House
was kept, ard she being well off supplied the funds
for carrying on the business. She and M'Daniels
were returning from the city,and Corwin was at the
house. An altercation occurred, when Corwin, ac-
cording to A,Daniels, raised a chair to strike, and
he picked ui the stick, striking Corwin four blows,
the fist of vhich fractured his skull. After the act
the victim was dragged through the bar-room into
the hall, am Sergeant John Savor proceeded on in-
formation o' a fight to the house, where he found
M'Daniels sanding by the murdered man, when he
was arrestet, as was also the woman. It appears
that a long 'end had existed between him and Cor-
win about he latter's reputed wife. A German
cooper, nand Philip Kobel, murdered his wife and
little daugher, but his two sons, seven and eleven
years old, ;soaped, and gave information to the
police. Koel and his wife lived on bad terms, as
he believedaer to be unfaithful ; and it was but a
short time no that the wife caused his meet for
