following:
Among the persons who first yielded to the
financial embarrasSments, was J. T., an
exceedingly wealthy banker in Wall street.
This Mr.. T was known all over the coun-
try. He undertook The most gigantic enterpri-
ses on Ills owti account, and until his failure sue
ceeded in all of thelii He astonished all the
other bankers, by taking whole OF the last
State loan ($1, ,500,COO) on his own shoulders,
and paid the money apparently with ease. lie
published bank note detect0r that every one
quoted as authority, and there was no end to
hs reputed wealth.
Unfortunately Mr.. t, when the Ohio
Life and Trust went down; he went down with
it. Since whichtilne Mr.. T has kept
clear Of Wall street. A few days since a gen
tlcman came to this city who wished to see
this famous banker on private business. He
went to his former office on Wall street, and
was there informed that Mr.. t was at
No. Greenwich street. Thither the gentle
man proceeded, and inquired for MIR. T.
the banker.
"What Mr.. T--3" sad the man in the
Office 'there is no banker that we EIow Of here,

"Oh, that can't be-" said the inquirer, "My
Mr.. = is famous banker, but | will see
this candemaker. so as to be perfectly sure"
He was accordingly shown up stairs and his
surprise may be imagined on seeing the great
Wall street fnancier, with his apron superin-
tending the work Of making candles from
Breckenridge coal oil, and apparently quite as

MEssRs. FRENCH, LAsow q Cove are
pleased to announce the formation of new
house in the Dry Goods business, which must
have an influence in drawing new trade, in
its line, to our city. The new house starts
upon pretty broad and solid foundation,
and with our old friend Mr.. Dexter TO collect
the customers and make the trade, and with
Mr.. French in change of it at home, the ca
reer of the new firm must DO successful. We
regret to part with Mr.. Jsrauld, but he makes
his place good, by his successor, both in en-
terprise and capital. The firm makes val
liable acquisition to its business force, in the
accession of Mr.. CIV. Dexter, who is known
throughout the region of our trade, as the
prince of Drummers, and as a most agreeable
andeffcicnt business man. He is enough tc
insure success to any house with which he is
connected.

The practice Of the Recorder has been to
deduct from monies collected Fees" in all
cases where they cannot be made from de-
PENDANTS also his salary and Office rent.
This practice we conceive neither to be in
accordance with the Charter or law, and con-
trary to all business practice.
We are clearly of the opinion that it is the
duty OF the Recorder to pay over all fines by
him collected to the City Treasurer, taking his
receipt Tor the same, and file them with his
monthly reports with the City Clerk. And
any account the Recorder may have against
the City-whether for fees salary, Office rent,
or any other thing-be la d before the Coun-
ell for allowance.
IL the duties Of Recorder be not sufficiently
defined by Ordinance, we would recommend
that an Ordinence be prepared for that pur
pose. All of which, is respectfully submitted.
