The News from EurOpe-Expecteu heVolu
ton Ia Ireland.
We nre daily expecting the receipt Of some im-
portant news from Europe, in relation TO the mar
ket, and commercial matters generally. by some Of
the packet ships now their way. But the most
Interesting intelligence will probably be received
by the next steamer, which sails from Liverpool on
the 18th of February. The State trials are now in
progress at Dublin, and they may have terminated
by that time The character of the intelligence
received by the last steamer has prepared us for
almost any result, any contingency, or any kind Of
an outbreak. That integence-derived from
public and private sources-communicated a va
riety of important facts, showing the disturbed
condition Of Ireland, The various consplracies on
foot-tne murders perperated-and the violent ami
mosiues b. tween the contendins religious secfs
Every thing, indeed, by all accounts seemed TO be
favorable to some great Simultaneous outbreak IN
that island and from the strong sympathetic feeling
existing, similar eruplions throughout the empire
must in that case follow.
Although O'Conne and the leaders of the Re-
peal movement, DIS well the Viceroy and the
government being inspired with mutual suspicion
and dread-are laboring to preserve peace and or
der, yet as the trials approached, and the crisis
which was for the first time to bring the repealers
indirect collision with the government, come on,
who can tell to what an Infatuated, oppressed,
down.trodden peasantry, animated by the rankest
feeling of religious anlmosity may have been
driven? The statement which our private cores
pondent gave us, in relation to plots and conspra-
ces, seem to be confirmed by several articles in
the Dublin papers which we have received since
particularly Saunders Nsws Letter. And although
persons on the spot are much inundated by the
present aspect of affairs, and may somewhat exag-
gerate their accounts, yet, in great revolutionary
crisis in any nation, sometimes all exaggeratlon
falls far short of the reality, which was repeatedly
instanctd in the case OF France during the various
phases of her revolution.
If, therefore, these trials should terminate in any
outbreak in Ireland, we may expect to see SINH
lar outbreak in other parts of the kingdom; and as
the next steamer will bring out the news, either
one way or the other, the greatest interest will be
felt till she arrives
MORE DEFALcArIoNs.-We find the following
notice of an additional defacation in Wall street
in the Commercial of yesterday afternoon:-
"a DgFALcArroN DrscLosEp.-The third teller Of the
Merchants Bank considering himself his death bed
in anticipation Of the discovery Of his dealcation the
examination of the bank accounts acknowledged that he
ha, deiraued the bank to the amount Of iw-ty thousand
dollars which deficiency is now ascertaned to be exact

Mr. Nissan"
Here is another evidence of the communicating
influences Of Wall street, that have for the pasi
several years extended from the Presidents Of
Banks to The porters-from Collectors of the Port
TO tide watrrs-from District Attorneys to Deputy
Marshals-and from City Collectors to Clerks in
the Mayors office.
Mr.. Samuel A. Nissan has been engaged in
this bank for the past twelve or thirteen years. and
has borne uniform good character for honesty
but in the meantime has been secretly aud indus
riously engaged in robbing the stockholders Of
the bank that gave him cmpo, ment, until the
sum has amounted TO S2O,OOO. For the past
year his health has been on the decline, con-
sumption being the seat Of disease, but daily
has his fears of exposure caused his attendance
at the bank, even when unable to stand at his
desk
The recent examination of accounts of The Sc
verul banks, preparatory to the annual report, has
caused many twang Of conscience and many
s!eepless night among the numerous officers con-
nected with the INKS Of Wall street. This anti.
clip ted investigation is supposed to have preyed
deeply upon the. mind of Nissan, in connection
with his feeble health, that on Monday he was
confined 10 hts house, and sent for John j.
Palmer, Esq, Cashier of the Bank. TO whom he
made full disclosure OF his detalcation, or
amount to twenty thousand dollars. He is now
supposed to be on his dying bed, and the ex-
posture may be truly classified az death
bed revelation. Should he survive, however, no
fears need be entertained on his part OF punishment
by criminal prosecution, as no individual yet guilty
has suffered in that manner In this city. Case af-
ter case has been presented TO our criminal autho-
rlties-Grand Jury after Grand Jury have been APP
pealed TO by unfortunate stockholders for justice,
and in but one OF two Instances that can remem-
her, has even an indictment been found against Of
Tending parties.
The first aud most prominent that led the way to
these public robberles, were government agents Of
this city, who have laughed justice to scorn, and
de6e1 the civil laws to compel them TO dsgorge
the funds that the people at large have thus lost =
