not yet been arrested.
Some Of the small banks Of this city
are shaking in the wind The Knicker-
booker, Suffolk, Eighth avenue, and Bank
Of the Union, have suspended operations,
and their circulation is going in for re-
demption. 1t is scarcely possible, that
bill-holders should sustain any loss by the
failure Of these concerns, whatever may
be the fate OF the depositors. The fact
is, we have too many banks Of the small
fry class. They do anything but legiti-
mate business, and the soener they are
Sound up and their notes redeemed from
the proceeds Of their stock in the hands of
The Comptroller, the better. The Knick-
erboc<er Savings Bank also has failed.
The weather here is warm enough for
August, and the furs, merinoes, and other
winter goods behind the plate-glass win

The cholera, which has nearly ceased
its ravages on terra firma, is making

Besides the criminal trials in the court
Of oyer and terminer this week, there
nave been two In the cuuro OF sessions
one for manslaughter in the fourth degree,
and the other for rape. Both the often

two years Imprisonment. SO we go
All the theaters here, seem to be doing
a good business, notwithstanding the hard
times At the Broadway English Opera
is decidedly successful. Miss Louisa
Pyne, the prima donna, is a delightful

he is called, is by no means equal to Wood
Wilson, and others, who have preceded
him in the same line.
Business continues TO be dull, and re-
trenchmeut Of expenses seems to be The
order of the day among our merchants
Still there are no heavy failures, and al
though we shall probably have a eight
time this fall and next winter, there is 9
fair prospect Of a renewal Of trade in the
spring. The clearing house which was
established last spring by the different
banks, has been the cause Of the suspen-
