EAaILF SoLp.-The Philadelphia Ameri-
can says: For want Of something better TO
do, two young men applied 10 the apthori-
ties some days ago for permission to explore
the sewers of the city. In a New York
weekly paper some writer started a canard
that three men had made a tour of the sewers
of New York, and had realized vast re

watches and valuable jewelry. The youni
men in question, finding that the New foTH

equal reward They found little difficulty
in obtaining the necessary permission, ant
on Friday last went ahead with their opera
lions. Their reward was ruined clothing
foul persons, harvest of mud and sever,

TO BANKS AND SPECIAL
DEP0sIToRs.

The Philadelphia North American says
Much interest is felt in the question OF the
e,tent of the liability of banks in receiving
for bookkeeping the tin boxes and valuaoles
of their depositors. Recent heavy roooeries
NJ bonds and securities in different parts oil
the country have shown the insecurity oil
priyate safes, and the increasing frequency
Of the loss OF boxes and packages deposited
with banks show the necessity OF further
safeguards. In Cincinnati, in late case,
the decision was against the bank; while IN
Massachusetts, in q case where a package
containing bonds had been deposited win
cashier, and was embezzed by him, the
Court held that the bank was not liable, on
the ground that the service rendered was moi
only gratuitous, but being beyond the legin-
mate sphere OF the cashiers duties, the cor
poration was not responsible. In New
/ Orleans Court bank was lately made re-
sponsible for a wrong delivery oil box
specially deposited, but in the case OF the
Marine Bank of New York, where box
containing over 5000, 900 of bonds and secu-
rites unaccountably disappeared, the loss
seems to have been acquiesced in by the de-
positor. In the suit against one OF our ci1y
banks, q few months since,Judge Cadwala-
der reviewed the law very ably, but nonsuii
having been taken, there was no final deci'
sion. But we observe by the Boston papers
that the responsibility Of the banks IN regard
to this class Of special deposits is about to b'
! tested. A firm in that city deposited in thu
vault Of one OF the banks trunk containing
9 large amount of valuable securities TA
e trunk is missing and the depositor ha
:, brought suit for It's value against the bank
q Whatever may be the legal decision Il
II this matter, the Boston banks have reache
y practical solution OF this difficulty whic
a. must be recorded IS prudent. They hav
10 given notice to their depositors to remo'
II their trunks from their hank vaults; the d
10 rectors of these institutions mot wishing u
40 spirit OF accommodation to be constructt
a into responsibility for property which
OF looked on as an inconvsnisnt incumbrance
-. ~ Few persous have any idea Of the exte
m. of this accommodation on the part oil SOL

TnE NoRFoLK NAVY YARD.

A further examination of the papers sent
to the Senate by the Secretary of the Navy,
in reply to the CALI for information respect
ing the Norfolk Navy Yard, is calculated to
confirm the strong suspicion, quite generally |
entertained, that the Secretary used the whole |
machinery Of the navy yards Of the country
last fall for political purposes. Among the
papers Is considerable correspondence
with Johnson club organized in the Nor
folk Navy Yard. 1t appears that the club
held meeting on the 9th of October and
appointed its President, one Francis A. Glib
bone, to proceed to Washington and lay be-
fore the Secretary Of the Navy the necessity
of removing from Office men who were
known to be opposed TO the Administration,
and appointing IN their stead men who were
known TO sustain the same. The club then
proceeded to recommend the removal Of
about a dozen Of the principal master work
: men, &c, and followed this with list OF
names of persons, supporters of the recon
. struction policy Of the Administration, whom
p 1t would be desirable to appoint 10 the va
. cancies thus made. Mr.. Gibbons, who
!, !. was recommended for the post of Chief Ac
}. countant of the yard, did not find it conven
l. lent 10 come to Washington, but he wrot
70 the Secretary letter in which he urged
Z him to make the removals and appointment
], recommended, and hipted 10 him that the re
a. suit OF the October election showed the foil
ID of not acting in the matter long ago. He Ell
y. ~ closed copy OF the proceedings Of the clul
az and also letter signed by about seventy
as the 80 called merchants" mechanics an
business men of Portsmouth, endorsing I'll
~ recommendations Of the club, and, urgi1
al. action without delay. Mr.. Gibbons SCENE
to to fear that the secrelery gould not act q
" peditiouslly enough, and so he sent anoth
~ copy Of these documents to Colonel To

So that city, for delivery to the President
a ntih earnestly entFeAled Mr.. Florence to see Il
