TRENTON N. is, RED Il, loff
Knowing you to be faithful chronicler of events
and ready to guard the interests of the public,
have concluded to apprise you of some OF the do
lngs of the New Jersey Legislature, which may be
of some service to the public, and perhaps to the
citizens of New York particularly.
| saw letter from highly respectable gentle
man residing in Painfield, few days since, drec-
ted to member of the Legislature detailing short
history of the Planfeld Bank, its rise, progress,
usefulness, &c, to the citizens of that place. The
writer stated that the stock nearly, if not en-.
tlrely, owned by three persons, the principal OF
whom he believes to be the editor of the New York
Sun.
He further says, the stock was disposed Of by
commissioners, and was not subscribed Tor When
the books were opened for that purpose. =,
He says there is no bank in the State that Will re-
ceive their bills on depesite, or take or receive
note for collection that is made payable at their
bank and concludes by saying the bank is OF little
or no use to the public.
There was bill introduced in council this day
for repeal of its charter. word to the wise Is
sufficient. TRENTON.
This is as it should be- The Painfield Bank Is
the successor of the famous Jacksonville, owned
by some of the same men, and used for the same
purposes 1t is the instrument of set of shinpas-
ter financiers, and only brings dscredt on the 9TH
er sound banks of New Jersey. The sooner the
Jersey Legislature repeats the charter, the better
for the public.

RELIGIOUS MovEMENTs.-Mafit is about wind

with the devl-how many brands he has plucked
from the burning-and how many coppers the faith
full have put into the treasury. Elder Knapp how
ever, steps in and keeps up the conflict with the
powers of darkness. He goes it with a vigor and
vehemence beyond Mafiit altogether On Wednes-
day evening he preached very curious sermon en-
titled the "Devi's Rocking Chair y last night he
lectured on the Root of all Evil" and tomorrow
night he breaches the "Devils Funeral Sermon"

Spring IN ENTHUSIASTICALLY was most
lovely spring day-the first of the season-and
Broadway looked like the avenue of paradise,
century after the fall, filled with beautiful Ewes in
every variety of costume. We have seldom seen
such crowds Of fair promenaders-all in their gay
est and most brilliant dresses. A great many
moustachss and foreigners were among the throngs.
Probably sans, silks, bonnes, jewclry, &c, to the
amount of half million, were paraded between
the hours of twelve and four o'clock. The noise
of the omnbuses, the rolling of the carriages, the
awful heaps of dirt, and the crowds of lovely wo-
men, impudent men, and lounging loafers, formed
a picture of New York that could not be surpassed,
or paralleed, on the face of this planet, or any
other in our solar system.
