BouGHr-SoLD, BoDy, AND BREEcHEs.-
That very sparkling paper, the New York Arena,
contains report of the sale of the assets of the
United States Bank in that city, by auction
One lot put up by the Sheriff and knocked off to
the highest bidder consisted of notes to the amount
of upwards of S38, ,000 1t was sold to Mr.. Alsop
for four hundred dollars In the lot were obliga-
tions of the god-like Daniel Webster for $4,000.
One of these notes for S12 $50 is without endorser.
The other note of $4,000 is endorsed by ]. S.
Jones, brother-in-law of Mr.. Webster, by his pre-
sent and third wife Mr.. Jones few years since
was one of the weathiest men in New York
Some idea may be formed of his opulence when


the fact is stated that he laid out at time sixty
thousand dollars in the construction of artificial
lake at his splendid country place on Long Island
near Massapequa. The whole number of per-
sons whose names are on the paper, and liable for
the ss8, 900 is thirtyfve and yet their aggregate
credit at the present moment is not worth five
hundred dollarsl
