THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS IL GOLD MISSING,
AND CENTS SUBSTITUTED TMEREroR.--The street
was full of rum,rs Friday afternoon, in regard to
the mysterious disappearance of bag Of gold
from one of the Boston banks, valued. as one ru-
NOR has it, Mt 50 900 and another at So. .000 and
the substitution therefor Of bag of cents, val
| ucd mt So. The facts in the case far We
have been able to ascertain them, are as follows
| In the usual course of business, the Granite
! Bank drew the Market Bank for the SUN OF
! SO 900, III favor of the Exchange Bank. La pay
mcnt of the draft, the Market Bank delivered a
bag, sealed in the usual manner and purrorting to
contain $4,000 in gold. The Exchange Bank re-
ceived it. and on examining it, found that it con-
! tained SS 90 in cents, which gave il the required
weight of three thousand dollar bag OF gold
| coin.
1t was Immediately sent hack 10 the Market
Bank and there redeemed. The Market Bank say
that they received it from the Granite Bank, and
! the Granite Bank says it received tbc ba. from
the Merchants Bank. The Merchants Bank say
this cannot he SO, for their specie has all been
amined emptied from the bags and weighed by
! the Bank Commissioners within dav or two.--
| The Granite adheres to the statement that the
bag they gave the Market Bank was the the,
received from the Merchants; and If it contained
gold, the latter says, of course it is not ths
bag Of cents, and hence the Granite Bank refuse,
to- receive it. These all the facts that are a
present known in regard to it. The Market BAN
has got the bag of cents, but where the gold il
these cents purroricd to represent, or how the,
came there, are questions not yet solved.-BostO'
