Inoticed, few days ago, an enquiry in the Her
aid respecting the American Life and 1rus, Com
pany OF this place, but whose business was carried
on, for the most part, in your own worthy, pious,
and goodly city of Gotham, where finance Aourishes
and vice decays, Now, this is a concern really
worthy the attention of a discerning and discrini-
mating community, having only sunk about two and
halt millions Of dollars in the short space OF six
years. The whole history of the men who have
managed it here is well and accurately known to
me, as well as the specuatons in which most of
them have BEEN engaged, in the promotion Of their
own private interest, regardless, the true "sauue
qt pesd" principle, OF creditors stockholders, and
all other fools, who had folly enough 10 place con-
tdence in than. The President is quite charac-
ter in his own way, and his counsel board generally
not less remarkable. They are we'll worth trotting
out, having fine PAGERS. 10 os blE .iisl fssYp >

lin reply to our correspondent, we have only TO
say, that we know too much Of the American Trust
Company, and would not give fig to know any
thing more. The money has disappeared, and let
the managers go into forgetfulness with it, Ed
