The business of the Clearing House to-day was 81, =
0i9, COO which is larger than for many weeks. The
fact that yesterday was quarter-day accounts for a
considerable portion Of the increase.
The Steamship Compsny alluded TO by us yesterday
Is the NewY York and Liverpool Collins line. The
boats of this line we understand, are for sale. We
bear the floating debt of the Company stated at about
sS0s COO and that the Adratic cost 81 200 GOO.
The loss on her voyage was $4,000. The JosrRaI Of
Commerce says that il s understood the Government
has declined to entertain any negotiations for renewal
Of the mail contract which expires in June, and an of-
Ger in the service of the Company went out in the Bal
tic on the 10th ult to see what could be done toward
efecng a sale Of the vessels in Europe. Report says
that the Losses of the Company have used up their
available means; and that their bankers, Messrs.
Brown Brothers & Co., have declined TO make fur
ther advances without additional security. We shall
regret exceedingly to this line broken up in which
American pride is much involved and we trust some
arrangement can yet be made which will prevent the
sale Of the ships and that Mr.. Collins may go and
achieve triump phs upon the element upon which he
has already done so much for American fame
Treasury Notes are selling in the street at 81 =
cent discount for CustOmIouse purposes. The absop-
tion of them by the public is moderate. The Custom
House authorities appear TO be doing what they can
TO prevent the use of them in the payment OF duties
In several cases the Collector has refused TO receive
note- payable to bearer, without the Endorsement of
the house making the payment and as in the cases re-
terred to the importer of the goods lived in a neighbor
ing city the Endorsement could not be Obtained and it
became necessary to pay the duties in gold as the in
dorsement of the agent making the entry under
power of attorney refused. Thus the Government
forces geld out of the public for its dues while it makes
ITS payinvnte in ~noonveribe paper.
From the nUal statement of the United States Life
Insurance Company it appears the receipts from all
sources during the year 1857 were slSi,S99 SO, and
the payments of all kinds, including $jS,79i paid
account of Deaths slO5,7i jj showing net profit of
$79,159 A, which, added to the amount on hani on
the lst Of Jaruay 1851 increases the total assets OF
the Company to $50, ,ss3 &c. The whole number of
policies issued during 1857 was 1904.
