AT NEW YORK.

State Treasurer Vincent, OF Alabama,
caused great surprise. Vincent has large
acquaintance on Wall street, and was well
liked. Clerks at the office of +. Wolfe re-
terred inquirers to their chief for the nature
and extent OF business done. Wolfe
this evening refused to speak on the
subject. The Importers and Traders
bank paid the January interest, Vincent
having sent the money in advance, as was
the custom. The bank loses nothing. The
police secured the hotels for Vincent. AL
though not found, he is believed to be in
the city. The defalcation, it is thought,
will interfere with the arrangement to take
up county bonds at 10 cents on the dollar.
