Court for the Correction Of Errors.
The Court is expected to adj ourn the 18th, to
meet at ALBANY in October The Governor had in
tended to turn the Court into Senate at Saratogs,
but he has now determined to defer il until October
In fact, we have orr doubts, whether II VIII be
done at all There various Offices to be filled,
and one or two Of them rather important, bat 1t is
deemed rather impolitc to do anything at this time,
not absolutely required by the public interest
We learn from Saratoga that many members Of the
Court have been abseHt during the term, and much
of the important business is necessarily deferred
until December. The decision of the great fire
cases is put off, in consequence Of the absence of
the members and hundre eds of thousands OF dollars
is kept out of the hands of the proper owners, be-
Cause senators will attend to their private concerns
to the neglect of their public du les So, too, in re-
gard to the Harlem bridge case. A great and ex-
citing ,estioa is held in allegiance, and all the par

MoRE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. EXPLOSION Ex-
rEcrED IN SOME PART WA REET.-We
are informed from good authority, that of heavy
stool holder in the Manhattan Bank that the cele-
brated Colin New combe, the late notorious teller Of

visitor in the directors room Of that building IL is

not condescend to take notice Of him, ard goes IN
to the inner room, hangs up his hat and appears to
be familiarity received by the cashier and presi-

Now, If these things sc so, and We have no reason
to doubt it, what sad state of affairs it presents
We do not expect much, it is true, from any poor
creature brought up under the moral teaching of

Jonathan Thompson How stands the case. New
combe abs conded; he was defauler, it was said,
for $40 900 or $50 QUO at the last accounts He
! advertised like criminal. A reward offered
for his apprehension. Suddenly he appeared and
gave ball. to stand his trial a criminal charge,
which trial. it is understood, is to take place next
month,
Under these circumstances, we say, that il is an
INSULT to every honest man in the Manhattan Bank,
that Newcombe should be allowed to enter that in
stituton at ALL aad is outrage for any officer Of
that bank treat him familiarity in the presence of
another officer, until he has cleared himself of the
heavy charges against him. Justice to the many
worthy still there, requires at least the outward
observances of proprie'y.
