BANkRUPTcY OF P T. BARNuM AND THE JE-
ROME CLOCK ConPANY.-The New York Post
has the following in relation to the pecuniary
troubles and the assignments OF Mr.. Barnum and
the Jerome Clock Company:
The assets OF the Jerome Company consist of
their factory. and large amount of clock ma
chinery The latter in their present state. it is
said, will not realize much for the creditors.
The mortgages on Baruum's country seat in
Fairfield, Just out OF Bridgeport called Iranistan
md the property adjacent. amounts to sl25.OoO
The grounds comprise seventeen acres most of
which is beautifully laid out as garden and
large ma nsion in the Oriental STYLE all of which
has cost him about S15O.00O.
The mortgages on his property in East Bridge
port where he owned a very large quantity of
land, and where he began founding city by
erecting hotels. dwellings and workshops. amount
TO SIS4.27I 4S. To connect the city of Bridge
port proper with East Bridgeport, he few years
ago built handsome free bridge over the Hou-
satonic river. at cost OF $4,000
The squabble about Barnum's property among
creditors we learn, is just beginning The New
Haven people, on the petition of the New Haven
County Bank, have appointed Mr. Frederick
Croswei the assignee In Bridgeport. on the
petition of the Farmers Bank of Bridgeport. Mr.
Henry Sandford has been appointed assignee
Each representative, it is said, claims that the
other is illegally appointed, and the matter is to
be settled by the State Court of Connecticut
All claims not presented within sixty days from
the time the assIgnees make the announcement:
are cut of from dividends

Clock Company, w no ownedSl75, ,00Oof the stock

Stamford Bank He is said to have made vol
untary assignment the day of the meeting of the
creditors in New Haven
Mr.. Bsrnun retired from Iranistan some time
ago. and took up his residence in the upper part
of this city. An impression has obtained in New
York, as well as in other places, that he owned
| the Museum building Such is not the fact. He
purchased the collection of curiosies, but leased
| the building of the heirs of Mr. FRAMES w. Ohm

Landing, N. H., is the executor.
The Museum is now, and has been for some
time past, in the possession OF Messrs. Green
wood and Butler. Notwithstanding this crush

| The records In New York show that the mort

real estate amounted to $4,000, to which is ad-
eed some 100000 for confidential debts, designa-

WHAT THE ABoLIr1oNIsrs SAY OF THE
PLATFORM AND THE NOMINATION OF
FILLMORE AND DoNELsoN.
The Register. Black Republican paper
published at Sandusky. Ohio, says
"The Democratic papers have suddenly
conceived wonderful affection for Mr.. Fill
more his nomination by the Pro-Slavery
Know Nothings has inspired them With
the most unbounded enthusiasm. In the
midst of which there is an inadvertent be-
trayal of the hope that it may have ten
dency to distract and divide the Northern
anti-Nebraska sentiments
And adds
"In our remarks, day or two since, on
the subject of Mr.. Fillmore's nomination,
we took occasion to say it was false hope
the Slavery propagandists entertained when
they counted upon the cooperation of Mr.
F.'s former political associates Embarked
In the great struggle where the only issues
are Freedom and Slavery, it were strange
indeed. if. for once personal and political
regard, the tried and patriotic men of the
North would forsake their banners and their
trusts and adopt the Slavery committalism

TIE Buffalo Express. discourses thus:
'His (Filmore's) good sense must suggest
TO his mind at once the utter futility Of an
effort On the part Of his party to elect He
must rely upon slavery for his strength
He stands before the world as a friend of
that institution He took that position and
sustained it throughout his Administration.
He has witnessed the repeal of the Missou-
ri Compromise, and the outrages conse-
quent upon that measure in Kansas, without
a word of reproof for the enormities perpe-
trated. In view of these antecedents, he
was nominated by the slave power, and now
stands as Its standard-bearer in the Know
Nothing ranks We are graft
fed at the nomination of Mr.. Fillmore 1t
will afford his friends an opportunity of test
ing his strength, and those he betrayed when
he sold his Administration to the South, an
opportunity Of settling some existing scores.
We think, therefore, it is about as we'll for

have done. 1t will detach every honest

man. The boy wished 10 be Protestant ;
to which his father furiously objected. But
he was firm in his determination; and, to
escape the wrath of his infuriated father, lie
took refuge with The Proiestants, For sew.
cral days his father hunted him from house
to house, rs if he had been beast of prey
but without success. Indeed, for one or two
nights he found shelter under Mr.. Perkins
roof. AT last, despairing Of finding his son
The father lodged complaint with the au.
thoritics of the city, which we were ready
10 meet. An officer was sent to the Protes
tants, demanding the presence of the boy at
the Pasha's. This order was, of course,
promptly complied with, and accompanied
two OF the brethren thither. At the Pasha's,
the little fellow confronted his father face TO
face aud be bore himself like hero. His
story was simple and straight forward, that
he intended TO be Protestant; and if his
father would receive him as such, he would
return with him otherwise, he did not wish
to return. But his father declared he would
not receive him as a Protestant; and he was
told by the Pasha that his authority over
the lad was at an end; that his son could
be Protestant If lie wished, and go where
he wished. The father showed the spirit
with which he was actuated by seizing the
lads shoes, which had been left without, as
lie left the Pasha's presence. Thus the boy
was obliged to return in the mud without
his shoes"
