Committee
The street was full of to-day of failures, but as
far as we could learn o'clock passed with only tho
stoppsge of concern with liabilities under 100000.
Among other mischievous reports that Messrs
Treadwell, Acker Co. Of the st. Nicholas Hotel had
made assignment. We are assured by Mr. Treadweu
that there particle of truth in this report That
the ST. Nicholas has not failed and will not fail; that
it has never had a note fall due which was not paid
prompy-that il has made money every day since was
opened and that the receipts in June larger than in
any month since has been ready to receive guests We
are glad TO be able such good authority to contradict
the report alluded to. Another report was current that
heavy defacaon had been discovered in of the pr
yaie bonded warehouses-thst the correct number of
packages had been found but that the goods missing
Upon inquiry at the Custom House we learned that no
such discovery known there After the delivery by
an officer OF some liquors from warehouse without the
payment of duties which mentioned some time SINCE
the Secretary of the Treasury ordered examination Of
all the warehouses This has been going on for some
time and is yet completed but up to to-day no new
fraud had been detected.
Mr.. Paul, the delinquent Cashier of Mr.. Belmont, was
discharged to-day from custody, the authorities having
decided that he cosd not be proceeded against Grimm
ally About 1000 of the defalcaton has been recovered
and more is expected, that the eventual loss will nos
be large.
