plots, and counterplots, are opening upon us with
multiplied force, and unless some rectfer is sud-
denly produced, Wall street will, like Sodom and
Gomorrah, be selected the spot tor direful ven

Hamilton is at large, and having become suddenly
so extensively notorious, he has been selected as
the victim participation in a counterpart, the ef-
feet OF which must have been experienced to be
fully felt. Hamilton, recently arrested with Ber-
gen on a charge OF conspiracy against the Atlantic
Insurance Company TO obtain money, appeared at
the watch house on Tuesday evening, and entered
complaint to the following effect. That in the
morning ne had received an anonymous letter re-
questing an interview al the end of Pier No North

Hamilton supposing that it might be something Of
service at this particular crisis concluded by the
advice of some friends to meet the anonymous
party, and accordingly accompanied by two &C.

and there found an athletic man very genteelly
dressed, whom he accosted, supposing him to be
the author of the note. The gentleman perceiving
the friends of Hamilton in the distance refused to
enter into any explanation and circumstances. This
inducing Hamilton to suppose that there was some
plot against his person, he insisted that the gentle
man in black who had made the appointment
should either explain, or be escorted to the watch
house. Refusing TO comply with the first request ,
the latter enforced and the mysterious stranger
landed al the watch house, where, instead of being

Hamilton in his present insurance difficulties it was

He was locked up in the watch house for the night,
and in the morning confronted with Hamilton, be-

he was the author of the anonymous letter. but gave
explanation to the for such singular con.

custody he was discharged, and thus endeth this
plot and counter plot against Jeremiah G. Ham,
