A New Operation in Banking.

A Richmond Broker having lately taken Of
fence at the Central Bank, in this place, has re-
sorted to novel mode of obtaining redress.
He has demanded the specie for checks drawn
by dealers with the Bank aud payable in cur
rent funds )" which have come into his hands
and on the refusal of the Bank to comply, has
had the checks protested. We are not familiar
with the legal enactnents touching the subject
but presume that the law authorizes no proceed
ing so outrageous and absurd. An individual
depositing current funds'' in the Bank, draws
his check payable in the same, and the holder
comes forward and demands the specie, some
thing entirely different from what the check
calls for The law provides, we believe, that nc
Bank shall issue draft not payable in specie,
but it cannot impose the same restrictions upon
individuals.
We are curious to know what the Broker al
luded to will do now. If he sues the drawers OF
the checks it is not likely that he will recover,
aud he may subject himself to damages for as
sailing private credit, as well as for attempting
to iuiure the Bank through its depostors. In
the latter particular be will undoubtedly fail, as
the depositors unanimously sustain the Bank in
resisting the unreasonable demand.

NOBLE CoNDUCT.-During the crisis last fall,
Messrs West q Caldwell, dealers in dry goods
used in the hat and cap business, at o. Broad
way, were cotnpeid to suspend. They forthwith
called meeting of their creditors, and laid a
statement of their affairs before them. A com
lnittee was appointed who, after thorough
investigation, unanimously recommended that
the creditors accept fifty cents on The dollar
This was with like unanmity acceded to, and
the whole matter was closed, and the firm dis
charged.
On the first day of July instant the creditors
each received printed circular, stating that the
assets had turned out much better than there
was reason to expect when the compromise was
made. and that enclosed would he found a check
for the full balance and interest. The checks
were all found as stated. and amounted in the
aggregate TO over $4,000, not one cent Of which
were they under any legal obligation to pay.
We would rather have the consciousness OF
this act. with rue letters of hearty acknowl-
Judgement that came showering in tn Messrs. West
a. Caldwell, in response of their circular, than
10 receive $4,000, multiplied by ten. One of
the creditors "a leading frm) informed them
that they had taken the liberty to have the cir
cular framed, and hung up in their office
Blessed and refreshing, in these degenerate days,
are such instances of high and honorable fidelity
to the right-Ne0 YORK; Post.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DRowNINe.--We learn
from the Rockingham Register that during the
freshet, on Friday, the End, young lady, Miss
Hettie Lamb, living with her relative, Mr. Whit
ner, near Parnassus, in attempting to cross
Moffets Run, was washed from her horse, and
carried down the stream some distance, when
she caught on the limb of a tree, and sustained
herself Tor two hours, crying in the most NOV
ing and piteous terms to those on shore to save
her. The stream was SO deep and rapid that as
sistauce could not be rendered during al that
time until, at last, Mr.. George Showslter per-
lied his own life in desperate effort to save
her. He went into the raging, roaring stream,
and by his efforts which were generously second
ed by Mr.. Martin Hall, OF Bridgewater, she was
rescued. Notwithstanding her perilous condi
ton. she retained her self-possession during all
the time, and by her courage, aided very much
the efforts made to rescue her.
