Ex-Chamberlain Palmer writes a letter to Mhe Aldermen denying a statement in the [Mayor's message that he had received two hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year for interest on the city deposits. He received mothing, because Comptroller Green served a notice on the banks forbidding them to pay interest. Of course Mr. Palmer's bank, which was the depositary bank, benefited by not paying interest; yet the fault, Mr. Palmer ays, was with the Comptroller. The facts are these:—The old law provided that the banks of deposit should pay, in compensation for the deposits, all the expenses of the Cham- Derlain’s office. This gave the banks the ben- efit of the use of the city balances for a mere nothing. The law was to blame. Ex-Cham- ‘Dderlain Devlin, however, made the banks pay ‘him four per cent interest, which he put into dis own pocket, realizing, it is said, over ® million dollars. When ex-Chamberlain Sweeny wont into office he notified the Mayor and Comptroller that he should still require the depositary banks to pay him four per cent interest on the deposits, but that he should pay the amount into the city freasury after deducting therefrom the wxpenses of his office. His successor, Mr. Bradley, did.the same thing, and a large sum ‘was thus paid into the treasury. Suddenly the Comptroller refused to take the money and notified the banks not to pay interest to the Chamberlain, When Mr. Palmer took the ‘office of Chamberlain he offered to collect and pay the interest as it had been before col- Mected ; but Comptroller Green refused to meceive it, and insisted that the'interest should be credited to the different funds and paid by the banks asa matter of law. This quibble ented the interest being paid at all, and lost the city a large sum of money. The new Jaw requires payment of interest by the de- positary banks. If the Comptroller was right in his position then there can be no difficulty fin recovering the back interest from the de- i banks by law. If he cannot do this a proof that he was wrong and that his xaptious action lost the money to the city.

Miss Cushman Last Evening at Steinway Hall. The heavy snow storm last evening did not pre- vent @ very large audience from attending Stein- | way Hall for the purpose of hearing Miss Cushman read—an audience which filled the floor and the first gallery and even ran over into | the second, Miss Cushman made her appear- ance punctually at eight. The first part | of her , programme consisted of selections trom “The Merchant of Venice;” the second of “The Witch’s Daughter,” by Whittier; Mickle's old Scotch song of “The Sailor’s Wife,” and Carle- ton’s famous farm ballad, now known all over the United States, called “Betsey and I are Out.” Every portion of this entertainment was delight- ful, and we find it difficult to name any one selec. tion which would be generally acknowledged as memorable to the exclusion of the others. The selections from “The Merchant of Venice” em- braced four scenes. The first was that between Portia and Nerissa, where the waiting maid mentions tne lady’s suitors one by one and lady mercilessly consigns each to perdition with appropriately annimiating epi- grains; the second, tnat where Bassanio makes | choice of the leaden casket and Portia comuuts herseif to his keeping; the third, the interview in which Shylock agrees to the loan of the 3,0v0 | ducats, and the fourth, the scene in the council chamber where the Jew is worsted by the “wise young judge.” it would be a very pardonabie Strain to compliment to remark that the presence ofatine dramatic company upon the stage was Jelt by the audience; Jor Cushman is multiple- | voiced, and her individualizations were excved- ingiy distinct. She is thus a stock company in | herself, and, it 18 scarcely necessary to add, an incomparably more powerful stock company, so far as the delineation of Shukespearian charac- than any other in America. Her great natural genius bas been so iiluminated by study, so refined by experience, so meliowed | by suifering and so broadened by varied inter- | course with the world, that the exposition she gives, through tiie medium of a glorious voice, to every character as she takes it up, is both valuable intellectually and a great artistic achievement and | enjoyment. One reading like that o1 last evening is | a more picturesque illustration of the versatility of the actress, of the truth and penetrativeness of her intuitions and of the success of her studies among books and men, than the selections she makes from her répertoire during a regular the- atrical engagement. Her magnificent voice has lost litte, if any, of its strength; we breaks and falls that’ sometimes occur im- press one not as vocal weakness but as those pathetic emotional strokes in which art and nature coalesce and become One, They are the sympathetic exponents of a large nature that has laborea much, endured much, done much, studied much and suffered much, and that now, when life is ripe, and the fruit hangs mellow on the intellec- tual bough, basks in the grand serenity that is the appanage of dignified years alone. We have never realized more forcibly than last evening the felicity with which sound can paint; and as Miss Cushman read, magnetizing the audience with the traus- formations that her kindling features underwen the house of Portia and the Venetian cow cil chamber , trembled into view almost as | plainly, for the moment, as though traced on the dark-hued screen that served tor | sounding board. It is not often that the human Voice will act the part o1 scene shilter; but it did last night, and the reading trom beginning to end almost deserves to be called a dramatics illusion. “phe Witch’s Daughter,”’ One of Whittier’s strong- est and most original poems, received both the delicate touches and the weird charm which the subject called for, Tne reading of “The Sailor's Wie” was music dramatized, a song transformed into the melody of highly wrought and pathetic action. The interpretation of “Betsey and I Are Out’ was the perfect expression of that condition of mina tnto which an ignorant but not dishonor- , able man is plunged, who has both committed and endured offence ior many years until it has become @ grievance too imtolerable to be longer borne. We hope these readings will be repeated, It ta | hardly possible to overrate their merit or success, Olympic Theatre. As a sort of bonne bouche to the variety enter- | tainment into which this place of amusement has lately drifted, the management has engaged the Holman ‘English Opera troupe, and the first ap. pearance of the same took place last evening. Certain scenes, selected with reference fo the avoidance of dropping the curtain during the rep- resentation of the “opera,’’ were given, and, without reference to the many excellent repre- sentations of the work, “La Grande Duchesse," with which the New York pubiic ls so well ac- quainted, we can say that last night's introduction to a variety entertainment, was very satistactory. It was particularly so in the musical selections of the role of the “Grande Duchesse,”’ which were admirably rendered by Miss Sallie Holman. “Wanda” had a good representative in Miss Julia Holman and Frit, a very hoarse one, in Mr, Bran- General Boum with the “grand constellation” | (whatever that means) of Signor Join Morris and the song, “Le Sabre de mon Pere,” with the Euro- | pean gymnast, “Ala,” while “The Charieston Gals” serves, in Mr. McAndrews’ hands, asa ioil to “Dites Lul,”’ then the millenium of popular enjoymentina theatre is reached. So it was at the Olympic last evening. Offenbach, trapeze, aerial champions, a budget of Dutch songs, the real original banjo champion and the Siamese Twins (patent secured) formed an olla podrida of amusement for the audience that few o! the profanum vn coul cavil at. When English opera ts combined with the dulcet strains of the banjo, the blood curdling feats of the gymnast, the “nigger” specialty, the man of mystery, the upper ten and “Young Amer- ica Comique,” what 1s left but the expression— | “Bureka !’’ The public likes such a combination, ana the Olympic wus accordingly died to repletion last might, The Vokes family sti!l Jorm the great attraction in this house, and, notwithstanding the severe storm, last night a good audience assembled to see them set the laws of equilibrium at deflance, and | to be amused at the hearty exhuberance of their fun, The evening's amusement begun with 6 nearer approach to the legitimate standard than is usually made by the agile family.

A SAVINGS BANK COLLAPSED, : + The Franklin Forced to Close 1ts Doors, Adjuaged as Baukrupt—Hundreds of Laboring Classes Cruelly Imposed Upon, PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2, 1874. The hundreds of poor peopie who had entrusted their funds to the Frankitn Savings Fund Society of this city, and who this morning were grouped about its doors with the hope of once more hold- ing in their hands what was actually their own, ; found its entrance securely fastened and read their fate in the following card :— ONION EOELOTE LEEDS AOI LEOLOODELODEDIOO DEEDS HO@ Closed by order of the United States Court. POR AOLAN OE LOLE LO DELO DPED LODE LEIG AOCOODDAOD DEBE HE HE Inthe assembled throng there were many who had placed every dollar they owned 1 the insutu- tion, and to them the above notice meant destitu- tion and ruin.

HISTORY OF THE INSTITUTION. No undertaking was ever flourisued before the people with so many lugubrious protests or so much religious Cant. — Its advertisements have ever teemed with ‘familiar quotations’? the creditors at this hour find themselves standing without money, and what is still worse without work. On Saturday last a petition was issued vo Judge Cadwalader, directing the Franklin to appear before court and give reasons why they should not be regarded as bankrupis. A number of judgments have been pending against the so- ciety jor some time, and it 1s now learned that While the institution has constantly been putting off small payments, it has been the regular recipi- ent of large sums ia-cash. The Churcn of the Holy ‘Trinity, the Institution for the Biind, and other churches and charities are heavily involved, while hundreds of young men and young women have also been ruined A the failure. The treasarer of the concern, Cyrus Cadwalader, has hitherto been identified with several financial in- stitutions, and Judge Cadwalader, when granting the tinal order, congratulated himself publicly be- cause the treasurer was no relative of his, ‘The allegations made against the institution are tnat it has not been paying the aemands for sev- eral months; that unjust preference has been Con- | ferred upon certain individual creditors by execut- ing conveyances and mortgages in favor of said creditors, and that checks have been given a num- ber of depositors Ana city banks for smatt amounts, in virtue ot soa in the Savings Fund, LA number ofjudgments bave been lately, | The tollowing | | tain rap diseages of wom Some time ago, when these | and scriptural phrases to an unlimited ex- tent. ‘The laboring classes reading these | were effectively guiled and their hard ear- rings found a place in the Franklin vaults, while | Mending | ous the counter, FIRE IN WALKER STREET, A fire broke out last uignt on the second door of No, 25 Walker street, that caused a damage of t $2,000, ‘The rst Noor was occupied by Franken Admiral Case Orders aq) stein &Co., whosustered a loss of $500, Bduara Paty 4 Loine lost property valued at 21,009.
