nAnsirnlnenta Of NORRIS KetehaIu.

I AL AAAllNA4N- - a-IIAAN- -
NEW York, August %. The Herald
says the assignments Of Norris keteh-
uni, the senior member Ofthe irm, hav-
ing included all his property IN the
transfer for the benefit OF his creditors,
render the attachments that have been
issued Of no account whatever. Mr.,
KetehumN estate will probably DO di-
vided among his creditors equally, ac-
cOrding to tho amount OF their claim,
but small amount which he held in
trust for his children has been reserved,
The total value OF properly thus as
signed Is stated to he two or two and a
half millions OF dollars, about equiYR-
lent To the losses OF tho Arm. The StRte-
nlent Of these lOsStS will sonn be com.
.plete. A claim OF about $90NO for
bonds said TO have been among tho So
cuFities distracted by young keirhum
was made Yesterday, and II Is likely to
prove the only one that has been len
outstanding. Mr.. ChaS. Graham, the
broker Of Edward d. Kotchum, has
nearly completed his account OF losses.
They atll amount exclusive Of the
forged papers which he redeemed TO
about $4,000, which, with the SIN, loo
AVI MuAelA AlG nNAN AAlkNA NNAAtAANNNtEt
will swell the amount 10 Sl,S3O,OOO, In.
GLIDING the money stated, by the losses
Of the Importers and Traders Bank, the
Fourth National Bank, Beatty, Morgan
a Co., and ketchum u Co., who held
$50, 1000 worth ofthe forged prper.
The whole sum of the LOSSES by tho
Ketchum deiAlcatiOn Will certainly not
much exceed Si,0OO,OOO. Mr.. Graham
viii speedily effect settlement with
his creditors. About forty per cent. of
the claims against him win no doubt IN
paid.
The Times Richmond correspondent
says Tint u party OF scientific gentle
men, who have just returned from u
minute examination of II portion Of
the gold region of tho State, give the
most astounding accounts Of the undU-
mineral resources of the inte- |
riOr of Virginia, Not only does gold

Ihe Fronts Of the Express Business
A letter from New York, dated October

"a letter from New York, dated October

The pro6tableness of the express bus;.
ness has been newly illustrated this week
by the declaration of a handsome extra
dividend, over which the lucky share

stock are rejoicing considerably. This
company paid, in 1854, dividends on a
capital of $4,000, 600 amounting to thirty
eight per cent. in cash, and fifty per cent.
in paid up stock. On Its capital, thus in
creased to So, ,00O, 900, it has already de.
clared, in 1855, cash dividends of twenty
six per cent, and twenty-five per cent
within the coming four months. What
wonder, then, that the stock of this insti-
tuition is marketable at three times its
value? And of what use is it to dabble
in Wall street "fancies, Z" when fortunes

realized by permanent investments in con-
