MEssRs WNsLow, LASIER d Co.-The
commercial editor of the New York Tribune
makes the following remarks upon the sus-
pension of Winslow, Lanier & Co.
The pressure Of the times has Frustrated
another prominent house. With sincere re-
greet we are obliged to announce the suspen-
sion of the banking house of Winslow, La
nier q Co. This house has built up by its
enterprise, energy and wealth q worldwide
reputation, and il now forced to discredit,
with its vaults full of assets, by the almost
absolute impossibility of raising money upon
usual collaterals. These assets under any
other state of the money market would have
been abundant to meet three times its pres
ent liabilities, but are now entirely unavail-
able. The house has never been borrower,
has not piece Of paper out, and owes moth
ing but balances due its correspondents. prin-
cipally ut the West. Since the last of Sep
tember it has paid over 100000 of deposits.
| Within the past three months its means have
been invested in strictly frst-class CONNER
cial paper and on call loans with stock col
laterals. These call loans are not responded
to and q large amount Of the paper is in a
state OF suspension. In this state of things
with their large means locked up in suspend
ed but to a large extent eventually good as
sets, Messrs. Winslow, Lanicr d Ce. have
been unable to meet the drafts of their cor
respondents. They have been gradually
winding up their affairs for year past and
will now 60 ut once into liquidation, abun-
dainty able to pay all their liabilities and
leave a very large surplus. Messrs. Wins
low, Lanier & Co. have for several years past
been extensively and intimately connected
with Western banking and railroad interests,
and in that section especially, this an
nouncement will be received with surprise
and regret. All remittances received since
their suspension, from their correspondents
will be held for their benefit, and all collec-
tons in the hands of the house will be de-
hvered on the order of the owners.

THE GREAT PIC-NIC.-The picnic in Mrs.
fIollingsworth's woods on Wednesday night
is represented to have been one of the most
brilliant assemblages of the kind ever held
in all this part Of the country. The youth
and loneliness of the county were there in
large numbers, while Delaware, Baltimore,
Kent and other places furnished theis uotas
of beauty and gallantry.
From what we learn the whole arrange
mcnts seem to have been of highly liberal
and extensive character. The platform for
dancing was so by 4sfeet, brilliantly illumi-
mated. The music was of the best order,
Hassler's celebrated full band from Philadel-
phia, having been engaged for the occasion.
As many as q sets of cotillons, or PIG per
sons were dancing at once The supper was
uruished by celebrated caterer from Phila.,
by which arrangement the managers were
relieved from any concern on that account.
The dancing closed at IL o'clock. midnight,
and the whole large company left the ground,
expressing their delight with all the arrange
ments.

Mr.. DUpoNT.-Alexis I. Dupont, who was
killed on Saturday by the explosion of his
powder mill at Wilmington, was a gentle
man of intelligence and liberalty, whose death
is greatly regretted He was 46 years OF
age and is the first of his family who has
suffered from an explosion of powder al
though the brothers are engaged in the bu.
siness, and like the deceased never hesitated
to confront its dangers. In one quite recent
instance saw-mill on their property took
fire. and the wiud carried the sparks upon
the roof ola building in which twelve hun
dred pounds Of gunpowder were stored
While others fled from the spot the deceased
mounted the roof and trampled the fire out
with his feet.
