the knowledge Of his partners. declared yesterday
that he could not yet make any estimate or the

turn TO New-York from hts Southern trip tomor-
and explain the charges which have been made
against him by the other members OF the finn and
their attorneys. The report that the new firm which
1t Is hoped to form when a settlement Is made by
