ci.-~hnothcr bank went yesterday ny the poaru
the Atlas, in Clymer, Chautauque county. [See
money article for particulars Thus we go. The
failure of many country banks in New Jersey.
Pennsylvania and elsewhere, and the many
hundreds of thousands of dollars out Of which
the poorer classes are cheated, are things which
demand the severe apprehension of the press,
and better understanding of the future policy
of the bankers and others.
1t has been too often the policy of number of
these shin-plaster concerns to send on their
agents to New York, with trunks crammed full
of their worthless paper, for the purpose OF pro-
curing a circulation for their notes in this
city and neighborhood. Their object is to
shave the public-frst, by discount upon
the notes they have thrown into circulation,
and then, afterwards, by general explosion.
These bank swindlers go about dressed as gen.
tlemen; they take lodgings at respectable hotels,
open their shaving shops in some respectable
street of the city, and make advances with their
bills at half per cent, or get rid Of them by buy
ing up goods; and then, after we'll shaving the
public tor nine, or ten, or more months, at last,
some accident happens, the broker disappears
from his Office, and the bank blows up. Such is
the circle of roguery which has been travelled
over, again and again, by certain banks in New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and else
where, the names Of which stink in the nostrls
Of the public.
The only remedy against such state Of things
is, for the people TO refuse, utterly to refuse,
taking these shin.plasters in exchange for their
labor, on shy consideration whatever.

ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNA.--This steamship,
10 mn a. k~N
city, at half.pas nine o'clock yesterday morning.
Crowds collected on both sides Of the river to
witness her arrival, among whom were num-
Der of the fathers Of Jersey City.
She came to her dock in beautiful style, and
with considerable speed, to the admiration and
qualification Of all the by-standers. It was ru.
mored that the authorities of Jersey City con-
template giving public entertainment to Capt.
Ryrie, in honor of his arrival. We believe
however, that this will not take place-that the
grand reception, at Jersey City, will take place
on the arrival of the Cambria, which is to leave
Liverpool on Saturday, for New York We
learn that the merchants of this city, on Change
yesterday, made some preliminary arrangements
to give Capt Ryrie public dinner.
The Cunard docks are not finished, but are
considerably advanced, and when completed,
will be the most convenient and commodious on
the rive Everything betokens systematic
management Several hundred tons of coal are
in the warehouses, and men engaged immediate
ly to commence shipping the cargo and coal.
She will sail on Saturday, at two o'clock in
the afternoon.
WHO Is THE OFFENDER I'VE received yester-
day three letters from subscribers at different
points-one from Athens, Athens CO., Ohio; ano-
ther from Fort Towson, c. NJ, and another from
Birmingham, Perry CO., Missouri. BY the last
Of these letters, we are informed that our paper
has not been delivered to our subscriber there
since the Sd Of July last. By the letter from
Fort Towson, we learn that our paper has not
been delivered there for a month past, nor for
the same time at Athens. Ga the receipt Of these
complaints we Immediately entered upon strict
examination in the proper department, and find,
by reference to the regular books, as we'll as by
the report of those employed in this department
Of our establishment, that each one of these
three subscribers has always had his papers sent
regularly to him from our Office, and regularly
delivered to the post Office in this city. Where
then lies the blamel Who is the offender! Who
receives these papers? Who takes them7 Real
no power, and no supervision, and no control over
its agents To steal purse is, as Shakespeare
says to steal trash-but to steal newspaper is
despicabe meanness and villainy.
The New SHlp ST.. CHARLES The closest ex-
animation, by the most practised eye, can see
nothing in this we'll arranged and finely modelled
vessel, that will not bear comparison with any
ship of her size ahoat and, although not in
tended to shine az packet or clipper ship, in
the accommodations for passengers she GER
tainly excels in the elegant and comfortable
quarters provided for the officers and ships COM
pany. Captain Sagory, in this particular, de.
serves, for his kind consideration for the sailors
and his officers, the best wishes of every one.
The st. Charles is 800 tons burthen, we'll pro.
poriioned, and provided with all the latest and
most useful improvements of the day. The
splendid building-the pride of the Crescent city,
the name of which this ship bears-is not more
remarkable, for its magnifcence, than is the ST.
Charles for her graceful and symmetrical model
| She is one of Stanton's line Of New Orleans
packets and will sail for her port Of destination
to-day.

formal do Commercio, and the o Mercanti pub

and sailed again for her destination, on the 18th

anxiousIy looked for.
