The arrest and liberation bail, of the President
and Cashier of the Mechanics Bank Of this CITY, upon
charge of compounding felony in compromising
transaction made with forged promises to pay. have
within the past week two, created little excite
men and brought to light many operations of similar
character made by parties in Wall street, who have

the Mechanics Bank must have experienced, with
in the past few days, very great change in his
Ideas in relation to person occupying such ell

justice that the punishment shsuld be meted out
to corporate companies upon the persons of their OFF,
For certain weghty reasons, this will not be
presented to the Grand Jury in session. but will be
reserved for the next Every movement in this affair
will be closely watched, the public generally take
very deep interest in the result.
