SEAT IN THE STOCK EXCHANGE.

An interesting question has been raised 20 the
power Of the to compel the New York Stock Ex
change to sell OF It's seats to meet the demands of
judgment, creditor against member judgment
was obtained by James worthngton against Stephen
y. hasset tho latter being the owner OF seat in the
Now York Stock Exchange the market value OF which
At present is reported at about $4,000 According to
tho complaint Mr. Massett has absconded at least
far as to prevent any proceedings being taken under
such judgment Under this state of facts Mr. Worth
ington brought suit in the nature Of creditors action
against MIR. McLane, the President OF the New York
Stock Exchange, TO compel the sale of Mr. Massetts
SCAT and, after paying the fines and dues OF Mr Mas
sct TO apply the balance to the payment of the udg
ment in question. The defence is that the sale OF
seat OF a member there must first be paid from the
proceeds all the debts owing by such member TO othcr
members; that all tho other members are necessary
parties TO the present proceeding, and that year
must elapse alter the failure OF member TO meet his
liabilities before his seat be sold and settlement
can be consummaied with the creditors. The case
up for trial yesterday before Judge Donohuc, holding
Special Term OF tho Supreme Court, who reserved his
decision.

affected society, not only by rendering inter-
course between all parts of our city more
practicable, but by inducing gentlemen OF

valuable additions to our society. Our city
Leems destined to be the haven of rest to

The more active pursuits of life. Our capital
is rapidly becoming center OF culture and
refinement, and It's society, instead OF being
an object OF deserved scOrn, as the recent
theological vituperation would lead one to
suppose, can boast an elevating and aesthetic
influence, brought about by the presence of
men aud women OF genius and superior edu-
