The Court—Mr. Darlington can you show mo any uthority that you have a right to produce titis copy, un- ‘48 you have served xotice upon the defendants to pro- | ucé the original document ? Mr. Darlington---There is no surprise, your Hon he case here; it is a constant practice to give notice to arties. wt the time of trial, to produce doe uments. ‘The pposite party knows the subject of this coatroversy, and hey are well aware of the points upon whica tue trial inges.

The Court would adhere to the rule for the service of ctice now—the document to be produced at one (leek, Counsel for the defendants took an exception to 6 rule.

Darlington—What services, other than the ordina- ‘y services for which you had agreed with the plaintiff, lid he yerform for the defendants ? Answer—I hat he would have to come to work in the morning at eight or half- be finished at six. and that I would not require any- ‘hing of him beyond that time; he then went to work; I ‘old him that he would probably get as much as his pre. lecensor, who received $10 per week. Mr. Darlington—Did he etform any otherrervicos thea | the services required of him under this agreement? -Answor—He did. Mr. Darlington—What services? Counsel for the defendants excepted to this testimony, for the reason that you cannot prove extra services un ous you first = @ contract to pay for them. ‘The Court disallowed the objection, and an exception yas taken to the ruling. Mr. Darlingtoro—What extra services did he perform? Answer—We worked nights, and Sundays, and Sunda nights, in writing up the boot's; towards the close of th year there was more work to be done im the ojfice than when he was employed; he could not do it withia the hours stated; he first objected to doing the work. Counsel for the defence objected to this testimony. The Court dixallowed the objection. Counsel for the plaintiff proposes to show a diroction to work extra. Mr. Fullerton took an exception to the ruling. The witness continued—When he objected to duing the extras of the work I told him that if he did not perform the services he would be discharged, and if he did perform It ho would be paid extra for it; he way frequently there until twelve and one o'clock at night daring week days, and Sunday nights equally late; the first agreement—ia | October, I thi was for week nights alone; I havea memorandum in my pocket, made by myself, from which Ican fix the dates; it {s from the lst of October, 185, 4¢ the 1st of March, 1851, that be worked theextra hours; when I wanted him to work Sundays and Sunday nights ho at fir-t refused, and I used the same arguments which ‘T bad previously done, vis, tha nust either work or he discharged, and if he did work, that ho would be well services; after he left the art Union, and ssnt to Mr. Cozzens’, he had the privilege of posting the ‘ht, for which he was to have a moderate com- tion; he did render the services, the managers ‘of the Art Union knew it; he attended at nights for that PI for a of seven weeks: he performed those services to the entire satisfaction of the defendants; he entered subscriptions in the subseription book, kop’ the wash book, opened accounts in the ledger, nad did every thing that was required of him; Colonel Warner had the general oversight of his actions. Mr. Darlington—Was it your duty to see how he per- Jormed these services? Question objected to and disallowed by the court. Witness continued—My duty was to receive subscrip- Alona at the desk, genorally oversee the gallery in the Bbsence of Colonel Warner, to correspond with the distant officers ef the concern, and to attend to the al business details of the institution during his av- senoe, also; I think Col. Warner was Deputy Clerk of the Gounty during iy rcier of that year; he would come to J ttle after nine a the morniug, thea go the Art -Union a to his business down town, come back about half’past one, pass through the gallery, ‘and go to dinner; about fouc o’olock—after closing up the County Clerk's offico—he ‘would return and do whatever was to be done, this would take him sometimes a longer and sometimes a shorter time.

There was a moderate sized panic this morning in Wall street, and fancy stocks were nowhere. The rush among holders to get them off was very great, and cash sales appeared to be the order of the day. Time contracts are rather avoided, as the’ bulls have been much weakened by the recent heavy fall in alkthe leading fancies. Sellers, generally, are under the im- pression that the coal stocks, with perhaps one or two exceptions, and other stocks of no fixed intrinsic value, will touch points considerably below those now current, and they are, consequently, careful whose contract they take, and see that it is pretty well se- cured. This is right and proper, and it is the only safe way to do business in Wall street in times like these. Noone knows now who is good and who is not. A fall of five per cent more in those fancies which have already fallen so much, would materially weaken a great many outstanding contracts,and the bears might find that their plang and calculations were all moon- shine. We would recommend caution on the part of and the to retuench, unequivocal; still we learn much more stringent measures are in contemplation, and must be resorted to; and should this proces of curbing speculation be much further forced, it ia well known, to those acquainted with the past experience of this country, that large sums loaned here will be immediately withdrawn, either by direct application to the borrowers, or by sending back our bonds for sale. In 1845, one of the largest banking houses in this city was suddenly converted from a lender to a borrower, and such was the emer- geucy that all the discountable funds of our banking institutions had to be granted to meet the extraor- dinary demand ; consequently, as soon as the house referred to was thus temporarily relieved, it turned abruptly on its customers, and, where returns could not be instantly made, the stocks and securities held in deposit were forthwith sacrificed. And now, in contemplation of former parallel cases of unauntici- pated trouble, we see the most unerring signs that we are rapidly approaching a corresponding crisis. There is no greater element of distrust than we have constantly exhibited in the unrestrained and unlimi- ted amount of bank capital which bas been formed anc in the process of construction. At the present moment we have more than double of what existed in 1836, and which proved so fatal in 1837, when the banks, with alinost one accord, suspended specie payments, carrying through the preparatory contrac- tion ruin and dismay. Our banks have already ex- libited signs of distress, and had to seek relief from those who were in self-defence compelled to yield assistance, by culling from its discounted paper the most apparently responsible securities, This is nog the ouly instance where the cry has been, ‘‘Help me, Cassius, or I sink.” An institution of greater magni- tude, Lut with lesa éclat, had to passthrough the same weakening indulgence. We make these remarks by way of caution. We believe them sound, and portentous of coming events, which no prudent man ought to disregard; and those who remember, the old adage: “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” should, with- out further warning, prepare for the future. We have too many banks—too much paper capital—and, what is much worse, too little concert of action or intelligent confidence. It the news hereafter to arrive from London should exbibit a greater depression of the specie assets of the Bank of Englund, the fatal end we anticipate te Witness bere will soon pre-ent itself with the most fearful consequences. Already do our experienced bankers doubt the stability of our present position; and being thus inoculated with distrust, they are pursuing a course of gradual and cautious contrac- tion, such as should teach a lesson of wisdom: to thoee institutions of a more recent growth, who, un- warned by the knowledge which has been derived from practical experience, de not imagine there may | be breakers abead. The vuriations in quotations to-day, at the first murket yesterday, were as follows:—Morris Canal de- Erie Railroad, 14; Harlem, 24; Stonington, 1; Reading Railroad, 1; Hudson River Railroad, 14. At the second board the panic continued with greater vielence, and quotations ran down rapidly. Nicaragua Transit fell off 2) per cent; Cumberland Coal, 14; Lie Railrozd, 14; Long Island, 1; Florence and Kcyport, 2; Montgomery Min‘ng, }. It is to be hoped that we are pretty near bottem. A decline at the rate realized to-day for many days would Lreak down every bull in the street. The bears will make a great mistake if they press the market much harder. It is full time for them to reulize—to con- tract their operations, by delivering on their con- tancts. ‘They should not lose what they can now make by looking for greater profits. Prices may go lower, but the fall has already been so great that a reaction must soon take place. It may be only mo- derate und it may be but temporary.

It will thus be seen that the finances of the State are in a highly flourishing condition.
