The ALLEGED HEAVY FAiLuRa IN New
foRK.-The New York papers speak of Mo-
bile correspondent of a leading banking house
In that city drawing prime sterling bills, as hav-
ing proved defaulter to the extent of $500, 900.
The World states that the facts which led to
such exaggerated statements have been known
for nearly two weeks, and are that the firms of
Halsey q Co., New Orleans, Goldthwaite &
Co., Mobile, and Halsey & Goldthwaite, Calves
ton, dissolved partnership. W. f. Halsey alone
being authorized TO sign in liquidation. These
firms represented the house of Brown Bros. &
Co. In the cotton markets of the South. The
trouble which caused the dissolution was that
sterling bills against cotton shipped to Liverpool
had been purchased, and when the sale of the
cotton failed to meet the sums advanced and
reclamation was made, it was proved that tile
maker OF the bills was not responsible, and thai
Goldthwaite was jointly interested in the specu-
lation. Goldthwaite is relative ofmembers Of
the firm of Brown Bros. IL Co., and his fall is
more painful to the New York principals than
any sum they may lose, which cannot be more
than 100000.

/ A Correspondent of the New York Times,
writing from New Brunswick, says that the
most important business that will come before
the Reformed Synod is the question Of union
With the Presbyterian Church South, and that
overtures ofsuch a nature will be made by the
General Assembly of the latter Church now In
season at Little Rock, Ark. The only difference
between the two Churches being In the rela-
ton OF elder and deaconship. The Presbyte-
riaE Church South consists Of fifty-slx presbyte-
res, 0l2 ministers, 1,545 churches, and Of POS
communicates. Its contributions last year
amounting to the very respectable sun, under
the circumstances, Of u, 073, 100. 1t thus ap-,
pears that the body which seeks union with the
Reformed Church is twice the size of the latter,
though OF no greater, and probably less, wealth.
And while the Reformed ministry outnumbers
lis churches, the opposite is the case IN the
Southern Presbyterian Church. ~
