New Yor, Nov. 14, 1854, Mr, Jars Gorvon Bexvert:— Drar Srr—In your issue of Sunday morning last is a letter addressed by Jobn W. Edmonds, Esq., to the Rev. ‘®. L, Barris, setting forth the substance of an interview had by him with some of the lost passengors of the Arctic. My object in addressing you is to call the attention o the Judge, yourself and the public, §f you think proper to publish this, toa very smal! portion of the Judges let ter. It is there said by the Judge—“ Another, whom I had well known, said to me, with a good deal of emotion, Friend Edmonils, is it true, this which I ahvays thought an illusion of thy insane mind? It traly seems #0. 1 know [have died; but now I seem as much upon earth as ever, and I {alk to thee as plainly as ever I did.

He shrank from this, and reminded me that he and Mr. H. bad not agreed well upon earth, having had some difficulties with each ‘other ‘in mecting’—that is, in thelr religious society. “Mr. Hopper then speke ‘to me through Laura, and bade mo re-assure him that no uapleagant recollection of the past dwelt upon his,mind; that he was ready to help him; and he added, ‘fell him, Judge, that 1 will be just as quick, now, to take him in ag Re was once to ‘turn mo out of mecting.

I pre- sume it had escaped the recollection of the Judge that in the year 1828, T believe, (a separation took place in 25,000 00 the Sceiety of’ Frien Day ading with the ‘ Orthodox’? party, and Hopper remaining with the party known as Hicksites.”” It was not until shout twelve years after this event, I think in the ear i840, thet Hopper was disowned by the “ Hicksites’?

Is it to be supposed that he had forgotten it?

J.—The plaistifie being on ameciation un- der the general banking act, bring their action im the name of the East River Bank, and not of their President. To this complaint the defendant Judah demurs. The grounds of demurrer are al! embraced in one, vis.: That the action should have been in the name of the Presi- tead of the name used.

There are various bodies which jay onde en ecrporation existence, and which can sue in theirgeneral name, without designating the individua? raembera, and to the act these associations, By the sixteenth section of of 1838, they are authorized to adopt a name to be ure! by the association in its dealings. By that name it ha been held, they must make their contracts, and that ina action bi neagainst the president of the association, the averment that the defendant made the contract was held to be bad. ‘The pleader,”? says Judge Fron “should have al that the (bank by its nase} made the note, &c., Delafield vs. Kinmey, 24 Wend. 349. If it may contract by that name, and in raking such con- tract the name of the bank must be used in a pleading as showing the making of the contract, I see no reason why the same name may ao* be used in Jogal proceedings. In the ease last referred to, Judge Bronson says :—'* Corpo- rations formed under the general banking laws may sue and he ued by their original corporate names.’? True, the ntatut proriten that suits by the association may be brought in the mame of the President thereof. But there are no negative words taking away the right te sue and be sued. The general ing law superad another form im which injuries may be sed. The intent of the provision, allowing suits to be in the name of the Presidemt, was undoubtedly to guard against rad diffculty which might arive from the construction that such associations not a any col te powers, if some other way than the corporate name was not pro- vided for enforcing their rights; but since ibe adju r tions referred to, I see no necessity of confining these associations to the use of the name of their Presidente in actions brought by them. On the contrary, either mode is consistent with their powers, and may be adopted in actions either for or against them. The other objections are not valid, amd they are susstantially noticed im the remarks already mate.

Coloy.—The plaintif’s affidavit is positive in eharging upon the defendant the false representations im regard to the condi- tion of the company in which the stock waa that the plaintiff received in payment. It also shows that as soon as discovered, he offered to return the stock and rescind the contract, which was re- fused. ‘The defendant, on new sfiidayits, now asks to reduce the amount of bail. He denies the false allega- tions, and insists that the stock, at the time of transfer to the plainti, wes worth the amount at which he re- ceived it, and that it might have been sold for that amount. If {t were proper to try the questions which ‘will arise on the trial of this case, by the affidavits now submitted, there might be some reason for hesitation a4 to the Propriety. of this order. The defendant’s affidavit denies, as positively as the plaintiff's afiidavit aeserts, the fraud which is the foundation of this acilon. But when there is such contradiction between tho parties, and nothing by which any corroboration is furnished to one affidavit more than another, it is not proper to dis- charge an order of arrest, or reduco the amount. In this case, however, the plaintiff's affidavit is corrobo- rated by others, both as to the representations and the falsity of them ; while the defendant’s caseis rested on his own aftidav’t merely, and without anything to cor- roborate it, ‘The statements, as sworn to by the plain- tif, are also proved to have been made by Colby, in the affidavit of Upton.

These sellers are now leaving the market, with ‘he bepoofgetiing back their supplies at lower rates. Whe- ther they will sacceed or not in 80 doing remains to be ween. There are so many outside operators who think cur- rent prices are sufficiently reduced to justify purchasivg for a rise, and whe believe that the margin is largo enough to satisfy avy ordinary bull speculator, that the market will not be suffered to drop much lower. The | clans of operators whocome in as purchasers are men who are not governed entirely by the complexion of fimancial affairs at the present moment, but who look beyond, and see in the future the effect of all the liqui- dation and contraction now going on so rapidly amd #0 generally, It in impossible for a country #0 remote frote the sceng of hostilities in Turkey, so ,unconnected with the political affairs of the Powers of Europe, and pooseasing so little sympathy for any of the parties en- gaged, to be affected any further than a specdy payment Of al) indebtedness may bring about. In this way the European war has operated unfavorably upon some of F local interests, but we are rapidly extricating our- selves from such entanglements, and must ere long be indifferent spectators of the struggle, unless something turme up whereby we can profit largely by the embar- rarsments and difficulties of those immediately engaged in the contest. We have never known before such a universal desire to get outof debt.

The sole caure of all our present embarrassment is the reckless. ness with which we have plunged into debt.
