New MopE OF REGULATING THE CURRExcY.-
1t is known that an investigation is in progress
into the and atlaixs Of the Chsssa hAak-
This inquiry ordered the petition OF some OF
the Stockholders and takes place in the Office Of the
Master in Chancery. One Of the former Presidents
of this institution was summoned to testify, but he
neglected to appear, although he repeatedly prom's-
ed to do After the examination had been delayed
for day two the counsel for the prosecution ad-
dressed the inancier a note, containing some very
plain remarks, and closing with an inimation that
the proper mode of dealing with such Bank Presi-
dents, was to regard them as scoundreis
The day after the receipt Of this hatterins and
satisfactory episte the President saw the Attorney
at the Masters Office, and after some preliminary
lourishes to work his courage up to the sticking
point inquired of tho Counsellor if he was the aa-
thor Of the note.
Counsellor.-Yes; / wrete the note.
Pres-What did you mean by addressing such
language to me
Coun-I thought the letter explained ITSELF in
tended to make myself Ineligible
Pres-Do you to call me scoundrel
Coun.-I mean to stand by every word In the note
Pres.-Then you are - rascal
The reply to this was blow with the fist, deliver
ed with such skill and emphasis, to bring the Pre-
sident very near to a resumbent posture, and his
humiliation was completed by supplementary slow
with chair. The President rishted himself imme
diateIy, however, and clnch then took place, but
it'll no satisfactory result for the bystanders inter-
posed and the parties undertook to settle the nat
ter verbally. An unlucky word set them by
the again, and in the next grapple after sundry
evolutions and revolutions the sx-President found

lor was about ssing some striking argument to con-
vince the nancier of the pediency of his course,
the Master in Chancery came in and saved the poor
fellows bacon by laying injunction on further
proceedings.
We have not heard the result of the operation on
the EXPIRE sdent but If the counsellor has net knock
ed all the truth out Of him, there will be some queer
disclosures before he gets through his evidence.
CHARLES KEANANp THE MURpERERs OF LORD
NoRBURY.-By the recent arrivals from England,
we perceive that the London papers have asserted
that "Char,es Kean brought home from America
the confessions Of tive men who were implicated in
the murder of Lord Norbury." AS we happen to
know the facts of the matter, which were commu-
nicated to us by an intimate friend of Mr. K, it
may be well now to give them publicity. Whilst
Mr.. x. was staying at the Globe Hotel, an Irishnan
called there, and introduce ed himself a sub-eng-
neer employed on the Croton Water Works. He
said his object in calling Mr. Kean was to induce
him to state TO some person high in authority in
England the fact that two brothers, OF the name Of
-, were working as laborers the Works,
who made it their boast that they were the murder
ers of Lord Norbury. One object Mr. Kean's visit
ant said he had in view, was the reward which he
understood had been offered in England for their
| apprehension, and he wanted Mr.. Kean to take the
necessary steps, on his arrival in England to have
demand made for the brothers by the British Gov
eminent. Mr.. X. mentioned enc or two noblemcn
a likely to forward his views; but both were OBJ
jected to belonging TO the high Tory party. MIR.
Kean then told his visitor that he would communi-
cate with the Lord Lieutenant of Ir land on the
subject, and taking the mans name and address,
they parted. Mr. Kean, at the time, conceived il
to be all hoax; but wished the incident not to get
into tn. New York papers until after his arrival in
England. We not Of opinion that any men, even
Irishmen, would be so lost to shame as openly to
boast of the commission Of a murder, and we should
be induced to think that il to cover the
retreat Of the guilty parties who, in all probability
are now lying perda in the old country.

NIBLo's GARpESs.-On Thursday, maugre the
puvious state Of the atmosphere, a very large au-
dence assembled at this fashionable resort attract
ed by the announcement Of a new pantonme, in
which the Ravels, Madame Preche Guibelei, and
Miss Kerr were to perform, and which we are sorry
to say, was damned without benefit Of clergy. IL
was entitled 90 the Genius without arms" and might
with great propriety have borne additional cog

more senseless, vapd piece Of expensive humbug il
never was our lot to pass judgment on. Even the
talents Of Gabriel and Madame Giubelei could not
deem il, and although the last scene Of exceed
ing spendor still at the fall Of the curtain the

that vicinity. The story On which this pantomims
is founded is vapid in the extremc-plot IL has

impossible for the spectators to decide whether the
brilliant palace scene was 10 be the wind up, only
the commencement OF the fun Of the thing. The
idea Of stretching q genius on a couch, with his
arms shut up in box, and the key Of the box hung
round his own neck, was certainly novel, and with
a, expressly stupid, and the attempt to make some
If the dramatis persona say their say with their
tongues, whilst the others had TO come the panio-
mime business in reality, the most absurd piece
of charlatanism ever exhibited. We were surprised
indeed how the fine talents Of Gabriel Ravel ever
could be induced to mimic great lubberly poodle
dog, without some end in view, such as showing up
or burlesqueing some hunbug Of the day, or other
and when il quits its legitimate end for any othcr
theme as in the case OF the " Genius without arms,
