At this moment confused noisea were heard in the banking room, which adjoiu- " ed 'that, in which the directors were convened. Mr. Handy immediately sprang from .his chair, and went into this apartment. ' .' There stood about thirty persons, prin- " cip'afly boatmen from the canal.

'Flan's' coat was torn open from the shoulder to the wrist; his shirt, ol a very indefinite complexion, was open nt the ( breast, 'disclosing the shaggy mat of hair that adorned this part of his person: his corduroy trowsers had Iv.it one suspender ! to keep them up, thus giving the in rather a lopsided ret. His face was very red; ' and his hat, which was considerably frayed c hV the biim, was drawn over one cir. and left uncovered a large portion of his forehead and crown, which were eaibelishcd , by. wild, elf-lock ' of carroty htie. "Nic odemus," said Flan, as soon as ...the Cashier mado hi.- appearance, "we have come to make a run upon the bank: .theyray you've busted your hiler." Then turning to the crowd behind him, he shouted "Growl, Tigers! Yip! No? Von don't'.' . ,, As Flan veiled out these word-, a strange muttering soung broke forth from . the multitude. "What put it into your drunken noddle that wo have broke?"' inuuired Mr. II mwi'.i zre- eoinpOMire, : is roon a" . ler.ee restored.

In all points he was unlike the crowd of persons who occupied the room. "I said nothing of the sort,' was Xim's reply, "and I am willing now t bet ten to one that ho can't produce a man here to say I s-dd so." !) n the odds!" cried Flan "Nieodemus, wo aro resolved upon a run so shell out!"

"Arai'I'liave tve:it)'-livo more," cried oifTrtrtother. '"'And I twice twenty-five," said a grufi' voice-' Vr6'iii''ho midst of the crowd.

Mr- Van Ihirni having come out against the Hanks, Mr. Flam resigns the Presidency of the "Fatrioiie Copperplate Hank of Quodlibet," and Handy, tlie cashier, .runs off. This latier event is thus announced iu the Qucdiibet official: "slatcmndinc; H'tig Dffakalioa.OwT borough has just been thrown into a btate of stupefaction by an event which com pletely eclipses every other act of crime and villainy with which the annals of Whiggery abound. Nicodemus Handy, ihe Whig cashier of that extortionate, swindling, Whig rag-factory, the Patriotic Copperplate Hank of Quodlibet, left thi borough yesterday morning iu the Peo ple s Line, which runs through Thorough nine. As this journey wa undertaken with the pretence of business, it attracted no attention until this morning, when the muefatigable democratic President of that institution, Mr. Anthony Hardbottic, who was recently elected for a thorough investigation into its concerns, (suspicions having been long indulged of its rottenness -and, in fsct. our worthy rnrosent.uive, the Hon. Middieton Fiam, an unterriiied and incorruptible New Light having retired from the head of the institution on account' of the disgusting irregularities which fell within his view) laid a statement before the Hoard which showed that tiie easlsier had secreted upwards of 810 ), 000, the gi eater part of which funds there is reason to believe he has made away with in l he course of ihe last three mouths. Measures were taken to pursue t.he offender, and as fir as posdblc to secure tho Dank by attachments upon his properly, which is supposed to be - considerable. For the present, we forbear all comment, except so far as to remark that we look upon this atrocious frau;! but aa natural fruit of that system of Whig measures which haa cumbered the land with mushroom banks, filthy rag? and swarms of scrub aristocrats in the shape of presidents, cashiers, directors and clerks.

The consequence was the liftnk was able to secure nothing. 'One of our first proceedings, after th ilight of the cashier, was to call together tlie New Fight Club, wheie resolutions were passed denouncing his iraud as tho necessary consequence of hte Whig principles censuring tlie Bank, in the strong est terms, as a swindling Whig concern, p.nd avowing ;n unalterable devotion to dm Independent Treasury, as the only sjund. genuine.
