GREAT BANK iDEFALCATION IN NtPY-
LAND.

From The Cumberland (MdD Td,gyoJ1
This community was not n little startled on tuesday
evening, at astounding developments in regard -
the affairs of the Mineral Bank of Ma, and
In Oyerhaulns the books, Messrs. John Bcal and
Geo A. Peane the trustees dsCoveredtha funds Of the
bank amounting TO the enormous sum of $lt2 76J had
been drawn out by the President ~ the hank fifteen
several bills of exchange, tie 10th day Of febru
airy, 1854.
MIR. Tucker. the late President left lhis place some
two weeks since for the purpose, alleged by the
trustees of dctraudng his creditors. A. .onn. there
fore ~ the oyerhaung of the books rxposi the mat
ter. the trustees forthwith sued out atHchIhent,
which was Immediately placed in The hands of The
sheriff, and levy made upon The personal effects ot
Joseph II. Tucker.
Tie affidavit upon which the attachment was issued
sets forth the aggregate amount of tle bulls ~ eK
change and states further that said bills ~ excl age
are not in the possession of the trustees, and that ihey
believe the same. when drawn, were delivered to
Joseph II. Tucker who has abstraced the same from
the bank improperly.
The affidavit shows a further Indebtedness to the
Bank the part of the PRECEDENT, making with the
sl22 760 mentioned above, a total indebtedness of
near sl5O,OOO A small portion of that amount has
been secured by mortgage on his real estate IA THE
county.
But for the defacaton the Bank would have been
able to pay every dollar il owed, and had ON hand AT
terward quite surplus. II well known thai q
heavy business done by the Bank, and those who
watched the of it, affair." aege that they know
that it, aggregate annual profits could not have fallen
short of from 81 900 to $50 900. What became u
them il now but too made apparent.
We are unable to learn the particulars Of the dis
coyery Of the affair. and do not know whether tho
facts and circumstances upon which the Trustees rely
for proof can be sustained. That Will be determined
By the proper tribunal hereafter. We hope for Mr..
Tucker sake tina, the trustees are mistaken.

SIR: The Corporate Counsel in commHpie s.iny to
tie Board Of Aldermen the Both Of December ul,.,
the fact that judgment had been recovered against the
city by default. BY the Street Commissioner and his
Deputy, for amount which at the time not due
but that loss would result TO the city because hs
had compelled the parties To- refund, neglected to
ton the important facts that at the time the money
was refunded II actually due 10 the parties, and
that was only refunded by them Mt His reques,
der that No fault might be found with his department
for allowing the Judgment TO be taken BY default and
that the only effect of his action. TO pm, the par
ties TO the trouble of another action to recover the
amount refunded.
The Corporation Counsel should have given to the
public the same explanation which was given TO him.
and which was "a follows:
"On the oath of April, 1887, resolution adopt
ed by tho Board of Councilmen. certified copy oi
which is hereto annexed. On the day an ord
nance passed the Board recognizing entirely tho
Street Department of the city under the Charter.
IL was supposed that the resolution referred to o
this ordinance, nasmuch a. il related 10 the same sub
ieCt matter and passed on the same day. and when II
was announced few days aiterward that this ordi
recognizing Department had been concurred
in by the Board OF Aldermen and approved by the
Mavor il supposed Of that the resolution
increasing the salaries took effect with the rest Of thu
act and under this impression that The suts referred
to were brought for salary n the increased rate"
IL subsequently. however turned ont that this ordi-
nance increasing the salaries ,parAte act which
had not been concurreo in by the Board oi Aldermen
ar approved by the Mayor until after the judgments
had been actually recovered. This discovery appears
to have been made by the Corporation Counsel the
2Sth of December last and although the ordinance in
creasng the salaries of the Street Commissioner and
his Deputy to the amount recovered by them was then
in full force M law emitting the Ssxi Commissioner
and his Deputy 10 the salaries caimH and recovered
by them. at his request the parties refunded the
money, not under any idea that any wrong had been
pcrpetrated but simply to enable the Counsel To ne

CAPT. LEvY-GEN. KER-COMMODORE
PAULDING.
ice Of The Pennsylvania Inquirer.

Correspondence OF Tue Pennsylvania inquirer
WAsHINGToS, Jan. |. 1853
From what can learn to-day, am of tine opinion
that Capt. Urah p. Levy is to be sent out immed-
atey to take command of the Gulf Squadron, thereby
succeeding Commodore Pauding, who is undoubtedly
to be recalled. The Department, it appears, cannot
resist the Southern pressure upon it, and a brave and
gallant officer is TO be ordered home virtually in dis
grace because he carried out what he conceived to
BE- the spirit of his Instructions and unaware,
unwilling to believe, that the Government meant any
less than said in his orders Perhaps, if Humphrey
Marshall succeeds in carrying his threatened resolu
ton through Congress, Capt Levy will have the
honor of carrying back with him the distinguished
fillibuster Walker, and depositing him in triumph
on the soil from which he was taken by his
predecessor. Once there again, Gen. Lamar, our
new Minister to Central America, and kaO~R By me
President whtn he appointed HIM to be the droarcd
tricnd Of Walker may, and probably will, aid him in
maintaining his position. Walker. it is understood,
declares it to be his intention to demand OF our Gov
eminent to be thus reinstated in the position from
which lie was taken. If he does my word for IT, his
request will be acceded to; for am satifed that the
Government is just weak enough TO do any silly thing,
in the present emergency,,n order to conciate the
feeling of the South. As for Com. Pauldng, he will
have his reward in the grateful Acknowledgements of
the honest, right-mnded people of his country.

The advocates of the Pacific Railroad project are
intent upon its accomplishment; and | learn that it
having been ascerained that a majority of the Land
Committee in the House decidedly for it, motion
will be pressed TO refer the subject to TINT Committee,
so a. to insure favorable report on the bill.
am pleased TO note the fact that a movement,
which has been prepared by Southern mediation is
atoot to reconcile Senator Broderck with the Admin
istraOn, and to reestablsh him in position to extend
to il his support the Kansas question, in which
event Mr.. Douglas will be left alone in the glory of u

] learn that an attempt will be renewed this session
for general increase OF the salaries of the large corps
of clerks in the employ of the Executive offices of the
Government. Their salaries at present generally
range from 81 900 to 81 800 per annum which are con-
sidered insufficient, especially by those who have
families to support in this very expensive cty Among
these clerks are found gentlemen of the highest educa
ton, who have formerly held honorable public posi-;
tons from which they have been reduced to the desk
and whose talents in professional or more active life
might command the highest remuneration. In some
of the Departments they called upon to exercise
Judgment and discretion of mean order for which
they should be literally paid. For instance in the
pretmpton division of the Land Office, clerk Is
called upon to decide contested claims and his qualf
cations to do this properly, which are thorough ac
quainance with our code OF land laws familiarity
with the laws of evidence, &C., are paid only at the
poor rate of a salary of 81 400 per annum.

Senators johnson and Cameron, who compose

assigned the contract for the Senate binding to

Committee adopted a resolution reducing the price
for the binding 20 per cent below the rates at which

The tone Of the Administration relative to Commo-

has received permission to delay his return to Apn.

the Commodore without conveying Notifying re-
buke.
Notwithstanding the positive official denunciations of
the iegaty of Paudings act the President privately
expresses his admiration and approval of it. The
Commodore will neither be sacrificed theoretically
sustained. The President indicates purpose to send
a special message to Congress on the subject Mon
