TIRE GOLD ExGnayCE BANK DIFKCTLsY.

A Turning OF the Tabies--Fnrther Develop
ments of the Late Wall street Excitement.
II Will be remembered that about two weeks ago
petition was fled in bankruptcy by Messrs. Ernst
Often and Edward G. Taege against the Gold
Exchange Bank Of New YORK. alleging among other
matters that that body, being bankrupt or III con-
temptation OF bankruptcy or insolvency, did make
payments or large sums OF money to certain cred
ors lin one instance exceeding million OF dollarsl
with the view OF giving them q prefer
ence, and for the purpose OF delaying
ana hindering the operation OF the pank-
ruptcy act This petition, however, was abandoned
q few DAYS after II had been placed on the files OF
the court, ana no proceedings were taken upon 1t.
petition has just been filed by william Rasmus
and George Lissgnole who are doing business as
copafineis Ia this city against Ernst often and
I'd ward q. Taege, creditors Of the petitioners. he
petition alleges that the said often and Taege are
indebted 10 them OH an account stated III the
sum OF S6,l72 10, with interest; from the 9th Of
september, 1869. The Indebtedness thus alleged was
incurred under the following circumsances:-From
about the I'd OF September up to and including the
oath September 1859, Often and Taege as brokers of
the petitioners bought and sold for the latter, aud
on their account and risk large quantities of gold,
money as margin or security on SAID purchases and
sales, and on about the 24th September, 1869,
accounted to ana with the petitioners for those pur-
chases ana sales OF god and money paid as margin
or security. often aud Taege admit, according to
the statement OF petitioners that, on this account,
they owe the latter the sum or sS,lT2 10. Demand
for payment OF the same mas been repeatedly made
ana refused.
IL is further set out in the petition that often
Taege being bankrupt, or IN contemplation OF bank
ruptcy or insolvency, did make a payment TO CoBen,
Lazarus d Co. OF about 81 600, AMI also payment
of $4,000 TO X. Koner, both creditors OF often N
Taege. with intent To give them preference and
hinder or delay the operation OF the Bankruptcy law.
the case comes before Judge Blascniord for hear.

THE avosDALE FUND.
Who Has the Money s--Only $4,000 re
ceigcd by the Iroasurer.

from the Harrisburg PA Telegraph, oct. 26.l
IL Is announced that up To the 18TH inst. but
s3i9s5 OF all the moneys raised by contribution in
and out OF the State for the relief OF the widows and
orphans OF the unfortunate miners who persisted In
the Avo..dae nine had heea received - The treas.
ucer OF the fund. The total amount collected for
this purpose we have seen estimated at over $500 000
1t not, certainly under $4,000, and the fact
that so small portion of IL has been forwarded TO
the treasurer, several weeks having elapsed since
the collections ceased, Is remarkable If suspicious.
one can scarcely imagine taat money raised for such
purpose would be purloHed or mlsapplied by per-
sons to whose custody IL had been entrusted; and
yet II is full time that every dollar of 1t should have
been accounted for and safely deposited the hands
OF those who have been appointed to take charge OF
and administer the fund. The widows and orphans
stand IN need OF the assistance which the generous
contributors designed 70 render, and II should not
be delayed. The treasurer suggests tnat he has
advice OF large collections which have not set
reached his hands All parties having these iunds
IN their custody are solicited TO remit the same to
HIM at once. IL Is the present expectation OF the
committee TO give $500 per year TO eacn widow and
800 per year 10 each child under fourteen ana SIX
teen years OF age.

SHANGHAI AND COMMERCIAL.

WEDNESDAY, Oct 2T-SP.M.
Affairs IN Wall street continue exceedingly dull.
hnd the brokers complain OF 'plentiful lack" OF
orders. The reaction from the activity and excite
neut OF the panic IL at length becoming operative.
Business has been slowly tapering down IN volume
and amount until next TO nothing is being done ut
the STOCK board. Some little animation was given
New York Central this morning by the publication
al the programme OF ceremonies which are to attend
tue unveilng OF the Vanderbilt bronze at st. Johns
Park ana the price ran up to lssal. From this
point the market began to decline and became heavy
after the second call. when Central sold at 1887,
Rock Island at lo41s. Northwestern at 70H and Lake
Shore at ol4 These prices brought new line OF
buyers, and the market rallied in the subsequent
dealings in tho Long Room, particularly for New
York Central which sold at 1894 Pittsbrrg was
quoted to-day ex dividend OF fifteen per cent, and
sold at sS a IS. The governing committee OF the
Stock Exchange has decided that the OBJ
servance OF the thirty days rule Is not neces-
sary IN the case Of scrip or stock
dividend. Columbus, Chicago and Indiana Central
was lrmer and sold at 80. In the miscellaneous list
Western Union was stronger owing to the strike OF
the ampoyes on tue rival Franklin line, and SOLD at
81. With reference TO Lake Shore 1t Is difficult to
determine what strategy is really at the bottom Of
its manipulation II Is now ntimaed that the direc-
tors ring, who are snort OF It, revived the Wabash
consolidation matter the other day at Cleveland
merely for the purpose Of breaking the stock and
with the intention OF voting down consolidation at
the meeting on November 49, preparatory to any
alliance with New York Central. The following COM
parson of the earnings OF the Lake Shore road was
made public to-day, the figures OF the period pre-
vious TO consolidation being obtained by adding
together the earnings Of the several lines then exist

TIE FOLLOWING letter from Commissioner
Delano to Supervisor Perry, of South Caro-
lima, shows what the Department considers
proper ground for the seizure and detention of
goods for alleged neglect or failure to comply
with the revenue laws;
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, OFFICE INTERNAL
REVENUE, WASHINGTON, August 27, 1861
Sir: / have received your letter inclosing a
copy of letter received by you from Collector
Donaldson, of the First district of South Caro-
lima, relative to the detention by him of forty
boxes OF tobacco, for some informaty in the
marks required to be printed or branded upon
the boxes. Also "a copy of your letter of in
structon to him. You express the hope that
your instructions to Mr.. Donaldson, or, as
you term them, 'suggestons," may be ap-
proved. In reply l have to say that, while |
deem it important that every box of tobacco,
in addition to the stamp indicating payment of
the tax, should have all the brands and the
marks which the law requires, in the precise
manner prescribed in the law, printed, marked
or pasted thereon, that all the facts and infor-
nation deemed by Congress requisite for COM
plete Identification should be upon every box
or other package. l do not regard it as good
ground for seizure where only slight irregu-
lartics are discovered. If a genuine stamp is
fixed and cancelled, as prescribed by the regu-
lations Of this office, and if the box or package
is such as the law prescribes, and all the ma
terial facts required by sections siXty-two or
siXty-eight are printed or marked upon the box
or package, the goods should be detained no
longer than is necessary to obtain satisfactory
explanation for any informality, and to satisfy
the officer that no fraud had been committed
or intended. 1 should however, advise the
detention Of all goods for an explanation,
which are not packed, stamped, cancelled,
marked, branded and labeled, in strict con-
formity with the law and the regulations Of this
office made in pursuance with law.
