RUMoREp EXTENSIVE BREACH OF
TRUST IN BosToN.-The Boston Journal,
OF Friday evening, says:
There were painful rumors on State
street to-day, that the principal member of
one OF the largest commission houses in the
city, who are the agents for several mann.
featuring corporations, and who are author
izcd to use the name of three corporations
on pomissory notes, has used the paper of
one OF these corporations, with the endorse
ment of the firm, for his own private spec-
uiatlons The amount of the breach of
trust thus committed, according to current
rumor, is from $500, 900 to $500, 900. We
give the rulnor as widely circulated in the
street, but trust thatit viii appear that the
gentleman implicated, and who is widely
respected by the community has not acted
without authority from the parties interes-
ted. The effect of the rumor ON State
street has been to make it almost impossi-
