NEW YORK, Jan. 5. The run on the Savings Banks continues. For two days past, crowds of the poorer classes thronged the doors of the institution on Chambers street, and the Knickerbocker on Eighth Avenue. The call for deposits is prompted, probably, more by the necessities of the depositors than by their fears for the safety of the banks. The steamer George Law sailed for Aspinwall today, with a full complement of California mails and passengers. By the arrival of the barque Alva from Maracaibe, we learn that Roland Dubs, Esq., U.S. Consul at that place, died on the 10th of December. William C. Potter, a broker, who was arrested a few days ago, charged with obtaining by false pretences bonds of the Lafayette Mining Company to the amount of $5,000, has been honorably discharged. William R. Taylor and George B. Fellows, who were arrested, charged with defrauding Booth & Edgar, sugar refiners, of $10,000, were discharged on account of the non-appearance of prosecution. The Washington correspondent of the Courier & Enquirer says that Col. Kinney has returned to that eity. One thousand volunteers have been enrolled for the Mosquito expedition, and the 20th of February is fixed for their departure. Mayor Wood's determination to effect a reform in the administration of the municipal affairs, is creating much excitement. The complaint book has already received a large number of entries, and there is a marked improvement of the police within the last few days.
