To THE PuBLIc.-ln relation 10 the legal proceed
ings lately had between the subscribers and Mr.. Pa
trick McQuade, ia the 4th and 9th Wards Court, Of
which some mistaken notice has been taken IN GER
tain of the city papers, calculated misead the pub
lie and possibly njure us, beg leave 10 make the
following statement.
Mr. McQuade had been indebted to us upon an aver
agefor eight months past and after frequent appica-
tons and ief,lsals, day was at length appointed by
him when he would pay the bill. Accordingly our
clerk called upon him on the day apponted he hand
ed the account to our clerk, saying "recept the bill
and 1 aciH pay it," The clerk having done so, and
handed the bill so receipted TO Mr. McQuade, he pat
il away, and gave to clerx in payment two fves
and enc three dollar bill, such banks re-
ported to be under inunctons, which ne at once de-
clned taking; and after repeatedly asking for better
money, (specie being at no time mentioned thought
of) or for the receipt the clerk left Mr.. McQuadc's
premises, saying if Child & Fox would not receive
the bills he should retu them, Mr. McQuade remark
ing he would give no others, and that If It had been
possible TO procure worse he should have done so.
The bills in question were then offered at Mr. Bush's
exchange Office for discount, and refused. Not doubt
ing at this time the honor or responsibility OF Mr. BIC
Quade, the bills again Immediately rendered to
him for exchange or for the receipt which he bluny
refused, exclaming-"Pll be Id if you or any
other man shall get that receipt-at the same time
brought against him, and throwing out an aspersion
touching claim upon deceased brother of M r. Fox
together with slanderous epithes touching Mr. Fox's
moral character calculated TO excite and aggravate.
The account was then placed in the hands of our
attorney for collection, and well during the trial
of the before, Mr. Fox often appealed TO the
defendant, offering to withdraw the two suits upon
terms honorable to both parties. These are some OF
the leading facts of this case, most or all of which
appeared in evidence. And now If il should be re-
quired that they, with minute explanation shall
be given under oath, with satisfactory testimony Of
our moral character, and the manner IN which our
business transactions conducted shall be ready
to do SO.
We fully agree thus far, with the editorial remarks,
that in these times we should afford TO each other
every facility and confidence possible. Under these
circumstances which resulted entirely from nilsun-
Outstanding between the parties respectfully sub
mt to the Public whether interest and character,
either individually as firm, should be made TO

The Battery draws its ancient crowds, morning
and afternoon. In former times before people thought
of getting rich in a month, or marrying fortunes of
100000 at every corner the Battery the fashion,

suspension of specie payments, have suspended our
follics and revolutionised our bad taste.

morning or afternoon. So much sweetness and ele-
gance, so much grace and beasty-so much smplic-

all laid aside-and cheap, neat simple ones assume
their place. What ahappy change!

New RACE CouRsE.-We understand that prepa.

Hoboken within mile or half mile of the river.
Such project would create greater impulse in ia

any particular department. Of human life depends on
the general sympathy which excites in the world a,
