Tempted by the impunity given to the Plainfield financiers, other operators have followed suit; some of them | have been caught im the meshes of the law, | and sentence has been passed upon them. Har- vey Dayton, Cashier of the State Bank at Morris, was sentenced on Thursday, by the Sup- | reme Court, at Trenton, to a fine of $600 | for perjury, in swearing a fale affidavit, that said | bank had a bona fide cash capital of $40,000, when the securities upon which the oath was based were fictitious, and the men whose names were attached tothem were mea of straw. The punishment is | extremely light, considering that he got his own $6,000 check out of the bank, and many thousands | of dollars more were realized by the operation. But it must not be forgotten that the conviction was the first one for such an offence, and that the convict was a subordinate officer, and acted under | the direction of others. Lambert Norton, who | oceupied the highest position in the bank—being both a director and the president—is to be tried | for the same offence in September, and it remains to be seen how he will be dealt with. Some of the | operators in the State Bank at Morris, are still | unwhipped of justice, who ought to be placed at | the bar, side by side with him, for subornation of | perjury. It appears that the “confidence man”—the | One-eye of all these financial operators—E. A. | ‘Thompson, has come out in a letter in a Cincinnati | paper, denying that he is more than an agent in the matter, and telling the editors and the rest of | mankind that he is @ very ill used man—that he | was working merely for pay, and doing the bidding | of his employers. His letter is az follows; and if it be | a correct version of the affair, there are other par- | | | ties behind the curtain who ought to be brought on | the stage. It isto be regretted that the writer did | not give their names, pro bono puldico, that we | might see whether there was a Beach among them. | His letter is as follows :— (Yor the Cincinnati Gazette. rssns.

A. THOMPSON, Probably his partner, M. A. Bradley, who, in his | own proper person, was president, cashier, and | directors of the Phomnix Bake st Cincinnati, will | also shift the responsibility from his own shoulders | to some “great unknown.” If he succeed in doing | this satisfactorily, it will afford a new phase™to— firanciering operations, worthy of the attention of the public. Aa at present advised, the mode of do- ing businese is this: A rotten, tottering bank is pur- | chased by worthless or doubtful securities. Bills are struck off ad infinitum, and scattered ia the west, and when as much of the paper as can be disposed of | is thus eent abroad far and wide, and suspicion | falls upon the bank, anda run ts made, it is either | | let down, and the public robbed, or it is bolstered | up for a short time by the redemption of its | iseuet, with notes of a bank as ricketty as itself, | while the lingering existence of the latter is pro- | longed in turn by the notes of the former, both | playing into each other’s hands. It was thus with the State Bank at Morris, the Susquehannah and the Phenix banks; and it was the intention, as ap- pears from the evidence, to play the same game | with the Oxford and Phoonix banks, by pur- | chasing the controlling interest of the furmer; and | after making a fortune by issuing its bills in unli- | | mited quantities, then failing, perhaps to the amount | of half a million of dollars. What a high game | the financiers of the Wost pleyed is pretty evident from the fact of Hobart dewanding $10,000 | for bis mero rervieceas an agent in effecting tho last W take $7,500 ‘The game, however, was lovt, partly because those | who played it were false to each other, and partly because of Yankee shrewdaees, which discovered that the greater part of the securities offered were not the genuine article, and that there waa “ some. thing rotten in Denmark.” Having failed in the ; joint operation, the parties operate against each | other; and if we are to believe them all, each is a Consummate shaver, and a rogue of the first water. Whether they are a!l telling the trath, or, if not, which of them, remains to be seen by the result. We thall shortly furnish our rea with richer developements than any they have yot seon. In conclurion, we have again to call apon the } proper authorities to bring the Plainfield finaneiers to justice, and aleo the operators in the Maryland ewindle. It is upon these, that the law ought to deal out its heaviest eance, making thera a tignal example, and “® terror to evil dvers” al over the land.

States i | growing dull one f counterfeiting of Oyer and Terminer, ' New City Hall, in the Cirewit COW room, Viritino Evrore’—During the present season, a large number of our citizens, from various parte of the country, have taken their departare for Europe— some to see the World’s Fair in London, others in- teat on business, as well as pleasure and sight-eo- ing—and others still, to make a European tour, and to Jeara the real condition of things in the old world. The motives of those visiting Europe, are, of course, as various as the individuals themselves, and taste, fashion, speculation, observation, curi- osity, business, each and all, have had to do with these many pilgrimages across the Atlantic. The laet steamer for Liverpool—the Arctie—took out about a hundred and twenty-five passengers, and with prosperous gales, will make, probably, ashort passage. James Gordon Bennett, Esq., the editor and proprietor of this journal, with Mrs. Bennett, and their son, Master James Gordon Bennett, Jr., were passengers by the Arctic; and will remain in | England for a brief space, and then proceed to the Continent, where the state of political affairs is as curious and as intricate as any of the vast archi- tectura] wonders of the great cities. In France, politics present a very curious sudy. The ramit- cations of political thought are as full of peculiari- ties as some of the old streets and squares, which have an historical interest. Notre Dame Cathedral has not more points jor observation than the politi- cal system of Louis Napoleon, which is a stupen- dous pile of thoughts and ideas, gathered from the republics of Athens and Rome, and the two Aweri- cag, and from the Empire of the first Napoleon, and moulded into a unique whole, for the criticism of the world. So it is with many other distinguished places and characters in Paris. Cavaignac, for in- stance, is asinteresting in himself as the walls of Paris, put into repair and thoroughly fortitied by the last King of the French. Indeed, in Italy, Germany, Russia, Turkey, Aus tria, and the whole of Europe, what with the grand exteriors of civilization, and the social and political curiosities, a European tour can be made very agreeable and profitable. Musical and Dramatic Gossip. There have been large audiences for the last fortnight at Castle Garden, and the opera is advancing rapidly in | public favor with the great company under the direction of Maratzek, who hus engaged Costini, and Badiali, and Selvi, as an addition to the other vocalists, “Ro- berto Devereaux,” therefore, may be expected in the ecurse of the week—an opera that has many charming points, and a “Marino Faliero” is a great work, and whenever it is repeated must command a large share of the admiration of the publie. The production of “ Anna Bolena,” during the part week, has been an event of no Bosio sang the rdle | of the unfcrtunate queen with wonderful skill und effect, | common interest in musical circles. and from the cavating to the preghiera of the tinal seene— which Donizetti has exquisitely abstracted from “ ome, sweet Lome,” in compliment to Evglish melody— this fascinating orliste created an extraordinary sensation. She was called before the curtain several times in the course of the representation, “Ernani,” too, has thus far proved very popular. To-night all the strength of the company will be concentrated on the opera; and as the Garden has now become the fixed resort of | beauty, fashion. wit, and taste, a large audience may be expected, for Bettini gives @ new charm to the music; his magnificent voice and earnest and impassioned inan- ner, contrasting splendidly with the sober tones of Ma- rini’s ponderous and noble organ. new life to her personation of Elvira, and Beneventano must always be a favorite es Carlos. Indeed, we cannot expeet to see the opera performed with a stronger cast in this country, or in Europe. Among the other muricel movements announced, we hear rumors of a new opera company for the autumn, and it is said that three applications have been made for the sstor Place house, Could the stage be sunk eight- ven feet, and the scenery run under the street, the ea- | pacity of the house might be enlarged #0 as to make the opera profitable to @ manager,—but at the former large prices it would pot succeed, with the greatest talent or the utmost novelty. Anna Bishop and Boehsa have de- termined to give some musical entertainments at Al- buny, Buffalo and other cities at the northwest. Stef, fenone still remains in town, resting upon her laurels. Amalia Patti and her father have returned to town, where are Borghere and several other vocalits of emi- nence, Italian and English—among the latter, Madame Bouchelle, ‘The peerless Parodi is at Niagara Falls, where bbe will seek repose after having made @ quiet but most successful tour through the Southern States. She has given fifty concerts, during her absence, and has been bighly gratified at the abundant measure of her success —proving herself unsurpassed in the concert-room as well as on the stage. In the dramatic world there has been little novelty to interest the lovers of the drama, though the theatres have been wellattended. A new burlesque is announced at the National this evening. and promises to be amusing | and brilliant, as it is the production of a practised haad. At Brougham’s Lyceum, in the course of the week, a French dramatic troupe, with M. Robert Kemp as direc- tor, will bieak new ground. M.
