MT. James Gibson. who owed some tbor sands of dollars to the bank, emgrated to Texas MT. Il. k Brown was appointed 10 pay him q visit, and collect from him, if possible. what was due to the bank. From Mir. Gibson Mr. Brown received $500 in cash, three negro men valued at S3 60O and a bond of F Sn'itb tor S933 3315 He collected in all S6 O33 33i/ Tn cash, negroes, and paper or parcbment 4s , pad S0oo to lawyer in Texas, and he retaineI S2, l9f 26 In requital of his own services All that he has paid over to the banl, or tho trustees, IS S4SO in specie, besides the bond or E. omhh. This leaves a balance due to tb, oahK oy Brown according to his own account amounting to S625 7625. Thus, while Gib, son pal S6,O33 3315, all that the hank has yet received in money is S48O: and all tbat !, mas any chance of receiving according to ., account current rendered bv Brown. is go O3o lo' supp"slng the bond of Smith and the hal. ance due by Brown to be paid. As this is an eXtfem" Case, It Is no more than fair to intro. duce Mr. Browns own view of it as oiven in a 7tter from him, under date of September the o'h, loof, addressed to A lbert Pike. esq the attorney of the bank
 As to the Gibson matter, it is as vou state that you dld not agree to give me half of what couId get from him: bat you told me you woYld give me half In the Curl case, and as th4 Gib- son and Spear claims were all put into my hands at the same time, think the banl, c,n well give me halt, as 1 am satisfied that if va. thfnnSh me and my friends and acuuaiptances m Texas that It was got at all.

 Tn lltt.e more than six months after this letter was written, the assets of the Real F.
 tate bank were by a decree of the court of chancery, transferred frcm the trustees to a ra. cever The bank men" have therefore mn longer the power to decide what is iustIv duo l to NIT.

VICTIMS OF FALSE REPoRr.-In con-
sequence of a false report, which in some
way got wide circulation, to the effect
that Sebastopol was al once to be rebuilt,
about 1000 mechanics: masons, carpen-
tiers, &c, recently found their way to the
Crimea, with high expectations of imme-
date and profitable employment. The
reconstruction Of the South side of 7the
city, 1t seems, has, in fact, been definitely
decided upon; but the plans are yet far
from being perfected, nor can the work
commence possibly before another year.
In the meantime the poor mechanics are
dependent upon the charity of strangers.
