The Savings Banks Troubles. The suspension of the Guardian Savings Bank, which was controlled almost entirely by the capitalists of the "Ring," and of which William M. Tweed was President, is a natural result of the collapse of the "Ring" itself, and also goes to explain the run which commenced yesterday on the Bowling Green Savings Bank-an institution near of kin to the "Boss' own, and on the National Savings Institution, which has been luckless enough to have a Tweed (Jr.) among its directors. There is no need to feel any uncertainty in regard to the great majority of our savings institutions, for they are, as a rule, honestly controlled and are considered perfectly sound. The Guardian and Bowling Green are the only ones that have an acknowledged affinity with the "Ring" management, and they doubtless feel now that a good name 13 better than silver or gold. It is to be earnestly desired that the laboring men whose bread and meat depend upon the little sums they have deposited in these concerns may suffer no loss. Nothing that bas yet been proven against the "Ring" managers will go so far to render the lower classes indignant as to thus bring "Ring" rascality to bear directly on their own slim pockets. Better that every man of means in the directory of these banks sacrifice his whole fortune than that these worthy and needy depositors go unpaid.

The Humboldt, of the same line as the Franklin, expected to arrive on Tuesday, it feared, will have a portion of the disease on board. WHY ALEXIS DON'T COME. It is said at Quarantine that the real cause of the delay of Prince Alexis' arrival, is owing to the fact that, as there cholera in Russia, it was deemed advisable to take a migratory course and visit Maderia and other Southern climates before proceeding.

NEW YORK, November 19.-The Sun day Herald says the primary cause of the suspension of the Bowling Green Savings Bank is said to have been the loss of quarter of a million dollars in Hanibal & St. Joseph stock, in which the officers and directors, it is alleged, speculated with its funds. Wm. Selmes, its Secretary, stated last evening that he would not be able to open the doors soon, it at all. He says the liabilities and assets are each about half a million, and that the bank will be able after a while to meet every obligation, and have ample securities. They have been obliged to bear the odium of connection with the Ring for three months, and to raise money they had to sell their securities at a heavy discount. Mr. Tone is said to have been appointed receiver. The World says that Judge Hogan, who is one of the directors of the bank, said last evening that unless there was fraud there could be no serious trouble result. If there was fraud, he would not be sorry to see the guilty man strung up to a lampapost, And the poor, whose hoarded dollars were taken from them, would be likely to take the law into their own hands. The Judge never attended a meeting of the Board, though nominally an officer. The Secretary and Walter Roche, however, assured him that all was right. THE NATIONAL SAVINGS INSTITUTION The officers of the National Savings Institution, corner of Houston and Broadway, of which John McBride Davidson, the ring's safe man is President, deny that it has suspended, and say that it will open Monday, prepared to pay all demands, and that every depositor is secured. Ar rangements have been made to meet an extraordinary drain. Richard M. Tweed is one of the trustees. ANOTHER BANK TOTTERING.' Rumor last evening said that the York ville Savings Bank, of which Henry W. Genet is President, had borne a heavy run; that its assets were entirely insurficient, and a crash is inevitable. The depositors are mainly of the poorer classes. The officers of this institution say there was no run upon it that its deposits are under $100,000 that its directors are men of wealth, and liable to make good any deficiencies in the event of such an unlooked for circumstance as insolvency. They repudiate any connection the ring. TWEED JR. RETIRES FROM THE METROPOLITAN. Richard Tweed retires from the Metropolitan Hotel on the 1st of December, and M. W. Wilkinson takes his place. VIADUCT RAILWAY. The Viaduct Railway Company will be organized next Wednesday. Fifteen out of the twenty-five directors have resigned, and their successors are to be men disconnected with the ring and the city government. Commodore Vanderbilt mentioned as one of the new members. Efforts have been made to have Sweeney remain, but he positively declines. Tweed and Connolly are certainly out. It is believed that the plans for building the new road are unendangered. The Russian clipper Abreck came to the upper quarantine yesterday.

TAMMANY BANKS. What the Public Think and What Depositors May Expect-The National Savings Institution in Particular. The publication in yesterday's HERALD of the particulars respecting those shaky institutions calied savings banks, as created and promoted by the gentlemen who lately so admirably managed municlpal matters in this city, has, very naturally, caused all a tremendous excitement among classes of the community, and If anything was wanting to sink them deeper in the foul abyss into which they have plunged themselves it was this-the misappropriation of the hardearned savings of the industrious classes and future sustenance of widows and orphans-and this only. that was capable of doing it. The frank and open statement made to our reporter and published in our last issue by the Vice President of the National Savings Institution, at the corner of Houston street and Broadway, Mr. Henry Smith, appears on examination not to be what he claimed for it; and while stating that the bank was prepared to open on Monday morning and pay all demands he must have been fully aware that all demands had not even that day been net, and that a depositor had applied for the appointment of a receiver to the concern in consequence thereof. So much for the statements of presidents, vice presidents or trustees of shaky institutions. The following are the true particulars :On application of Mr. Charles A. Hoff, a depositor to the amount of $854, the National Savings Bank, at I the corner of Houston street and Broadway, notofied him on Saturday that they were unable to meet the / demand. Mr. Holl's attorneys. Messrs. Plact, Gerard & Bulkley. applied to His Honor Judge Bar1 nard for the appointment of a receiver. The petition r of the plaintiff was granted and Mr. Edward Schell t appointed receiver. Mr. Scuell 13 a well known citizen, connected with the Manhattan Savings 8 Bank, corner of Bleecker street and Broadway. His 1 brother, Mr. Richard Schell, became his bondsman I to the amount of $50,000 for the faithful performance of nis trust. This morning Mr. Schell will take , possession of all the assets of the concern and proceed at once to ascertain its status, with the hope : of satisfying in full all the obligations of the institution, as its liabilities are small. Mr. Walter Roche, one of the directors, furnished aid to the amount of $17,000 in cash from his own private means in order to secure the depositors from any serious inconventence on SaturI day. but unfortunately he was not notified in time of the true condition of affairs. and his money was received alter the doors were closed. This amount, ) Al, IS believed, will insure to the depositors the full of their claims. Mr. Roche also furnished liquidation ea Saturday values to the amount of $300,000 in unencumbered real estate to the r receiver of the Guardian Savings Bank, and also $10,000 of a mortgage on u.s owa private residence to the Bowling Green Savings Bank. the said mortgage 10 be converted into funds for the tion OF their indebtedness immediately. A director of one or these institutions informs us that had others of the trustees of the several savings banks come forward as promptly as Mr. Roche with such . material aid as he did, the institutions would still be ou their feet and able to resume business before the fact of their insolvency became widely known. It is further stated by parties who are pretty fully that all three of the institutions will pay in the ever full; posted out prospects of their resuming are very meagre. It is only necessary now to await the conversion of Mr. Roche's collaterals into cash t satisfy the demands or the depositors.

NEW YORK. TWEED'S SAVINGS BANKS. NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-William M. Tweed denies that he is connected with the Bowling Green Savings Bank. He admits being president of the Guardian Savings Bank but has had nothing to do with its management. He says its vice-president has placed $300,000 worth of real estate at the command of the bank to enable it to meet its engagements. Hank Smith, a Tammany Republican, vice-president of the National Savings Bank, states that all its demands will be promptly met to-day. The Times says that Edward Schell has been appointed by Judge Barnard as receiver of the National Savings Bank and will take possession to-day. It is believed that this bank, the Guardian and Bowling Green Banks will meet all claims of the depositors. It is doubtful if either resumes business again. VARIOUS MATTERS. Henry G. Stebbins has been appointed Park Commissioner. The Committee on the reorganization of the Viaduct Railway Company has now received the resignation of all the directors. The eighth annual meeting of the Dartmouth College Alumni Association of this city will take place at Delmonico's on the first Tuesday in December. Twenty-three additional cases of small-pox have been reported since Saturday noon. The Executive Committee of the Committee of Fifty appointed to investigate the charges of freuds in the Brooklyn city government, has requested the common council to furnish such facilities as will enable the committee to accomplish its purposes. Proceedings in bankruptcy have been commenced against the Guardian Savings Bank. MAYOR HALL A REFORMER. The Evening Post says that it is assured that Mayor Hall's course as shown in the appointment of Green as Comptroller and in other acts, indicate that he has resolved to surrender entirely to the reform movement and to appoint to all vacancies men heartily approved by the leading reformers. RECEPTION OF THE GRAND DUKE. It appears that the reception committee of the Grand Duke did not go to the lower bay in the steamer Mary Powell, but met the Russian fleet coming up under the escort of the American fleet. The Grand Duke has accepted a public reception for to-morrow, until which time he remains on board the Svetland. A VALIANT CHAPLAIN. Rev. Job G. Boss, of Brooklyn, ex-Chaplain of the S. A., was waylaid last night by two négroes who drew knives and demanded his money or his life. The old man defended himself with a stout cane and succeeded in driving off his assailants after having crippled one of them by a blow of his stick. TWEED WILL GET CLEAR. The Tribune to-morrow will contain a statement that Charles O'Connor says that though a flaw in the indictment, Tweed will escape punishment. THE NEW COLLECTOR. Gen. Chester A. Arthur, the newly appointed collector, is understood to be a friend of Murphy, and was appointed at his request. He was formerly a Brevet Brigadier General of volun-

speaking the "Poor Boy of the Ring" came in, smiled sardonically upon the reporter and puffed his regalia. "How is the Commissioner! 1 have called to see you." "I am too busy," Smith responded, "But how about this statement of your bank?" asked the reporter, pointing to the open page from which the above figures are obtained. "Figures 1" exclaimed Hank; "don't show 'em to me! I am too busy "Well, IS this your bank?" "It is." Here the reporter observed that the sign gave the name of the bank as the "National Savings Bank" and checks covering the counter as the "National Savings Institution." He asked:"Well, Mr. Smith, how about the Bowling Green Bank?" The answer came with a smile and a hiss:"I don't know. I can only run one at a time. We will pay every depositor." The reporter promenaded Broadway, wondering how "a Ring bank" that only has ostensibly deposits of a little over $2,000 requires the presence of the sharpest police officials to prevent a run.

MISCELLANY. LOCAL THE SUSPENDED SAVINGS BANKS. THE BOWLING GREEN IN THE HANDS OF A RECENTER-THE GUARDIAN IN THE BANKRUPIC COURT-THE NATIONAL RESUMES PAYMENT. Except among actual depositors, but little exeitement was manifested in the city yesterday in consequence of the suspension of the Guardian and Bowling Green Savings Banks. At the Bowling Green Bank, No. 83 Broadway. of which Henry Smith is President. A crowd of poor people, principally depositors, assembled early in the morning. but were refused admittance by the policemen who guarded the doors. Several hours later the crowd had almost entirely disappeared. The windows were closely shaded from within, and no one was admitted except those attached to the bank. None of the officers could be seen, as they refused to come to the door. Atl o'clock. the following notice was conspienously posted at the entrance: To the Depositors of the Bowling Green Sarings Bank: I have been appointe d by the Supreme Court (Brady, Justice) Receiver of this bank, to protect your interests. I will, at the earliest practicable moment, give you a state. ment of its condition. SHEPHERD F. KNAPP, Receiver. A petition was filed on Saturday afternoon against the Guardian Savings Institution. in the United States Distriot Court, to have If declared a bankrupt. The acts of bankruptcy charged are that it frandulently stopped payment of its debts, and that it caused its property to be taken under legal process by the Receiver appointed by the Supreme Court. Anyinjunction preventing the disposition of the property of the bank has also been issued. The petition is filed at the instance of Julius Ascher. a depositor in the bank, and is made returnable next Saturday. The National Savings Institution, at the corner of Broadway and Houston-st. which suspended on Satur day, reanmed payment yesterday, and the Receiver appointed was discharged by Judge Barnard. During the morning a large number of depositors withdrew their deposits, bettur paid without hesitation. THE TRIBUNE inadvertently gave place yesterday to an entirely unfounded rumor that the Manhattan Savings Bank was involved in financial embarrassmente. The Manhattan is one of the oldest and soundest institutions in the city, and its President, E. T. Brown. is a very different man from those who manage Ring banks. and with whose names his was unintentionally coupled.

OBITUARY. HENRY SMITH. Commissioner Henry Smith, President of the Board of Police, died in Room No. 214, Metropolitan Hotel, last evening at 10:30 o'elock. He had been sinking rapidly all day, and at 6 o'clock he fell into a connatose state from which he never rallied. Mrs. Smith was called in, but to her sad entreaties for recognition, the dying man made no sign beyond rapid and heavy breathing which continued until death ensued. At o'clock the last consultation took place, Drs. Vanderpoel, Henry, Thebaud, Satterlee, Stimson, and Walker being present. Thurlow Weed was also in the room, where he had remained most of the day. The consultation ended in the decision that mortal skill was useless. The dying man had taken no nourishment since 71 o'clock, and all efforts had failed to rouse him from his comatose state. At 101 o'clock his friends, who had thronged the halls of the hotel since the first hour of his illness, were invited in, and surrounded by these he died. Henry Smith was born on October 20, 1820, in the village of Amsterdam, Montgomery County, N. Y. The son of a farmer. he began life as a driver on the Erie Canal. When quite young he opened a shop in the village of Fultonville, where he sold groceries and canal stores. He was subsequently employed as an agent of the Albany Merchants' line of canal boats. He did so well that he was induced, about 1843 or 1844. to come to New York as the agent for the Fultonville line of canal boats. He filled this position for several years and purchased an interest in the line. By his efforts he built up an extensive forwarding and commission business. He was subsequently connected with Abram Van Santvoord in running & line of tow-boats, and afterward with Albert Van Santvoord in the same business. Van Santvoord and he built the handsome steamboats Chauncey Vibbard and Drew, and organized a day line to Albany. Mr. Smith has bean for 25 years one of the most active politicians in the Whig and Republican parties, and for several years past has been one of the most influential Republican politicians in the State. He was for many years extremely popular with the working classes in the lower part of the city, and was on several occasions elected over his Democratic opponent in a strong Democratic district. In 1853 he was chosen Councilman from the Ist District, and was reelected two years later, serving in the Board of Councilmen during the years 1854. 1855, 1856, and 1857. He was defeated for Alderman in the latter year, but was elected two years later. and served in the Board of Aldermen until 1863, having been reëlected on the expiration of his first term. In 1863 he was chosen one of the Board of Supervisors, and six years later was again elected. His seat was contested by John Foley, but while the case was before the courts the Charter of 1870 was passed, abolishing the Board of #Supervisors on July of that year. In the Winter of Mr. Smith was chosen by the Legislature to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Police Commissioner Thos. C. Acton. When the Police Board Iwas reorganized in 1870, un der the provisions of the Charter passed by the Legislature of that year, Mr. Smith was reappointed by Mayor Hall, and drew the long term. Under the provisions of the present Charter he retained his office with several other heads of departments. He served two years as Treasurer of the Board of Police. In 1870, on the reorganization of the Board of Police. he was chosen President Mr. Smith has also been a member of the Board of Health ever since he entered the Police Board under the new Charter, by virtue of his position as President of the Board of Police. Mr. Smith has been an ardent politician ever since he reached his majority. He was always active in primaries and nominating conventions. The First Ward where he was best known, and where he resided for many years, was strongly Democratic yet he was chosen Councilmen on the Whig ticket on two occa sions, and afterward Alderman, though running as a Republican. He attended nearly every Whig and Republican State Convention held in this State during the past 20 years, and though seldom a delegate probably wielded more influence than nine-tenths of those who attended the Convention in that capacity Mr. Smith was for a long time President of the First Assembly District Republi can Association. He was also a member of the Central Committee In 1870, when the rival Republican Commit tees coalesced he was one of the Committee selected on the Republican State Executive Committee to bring about that result. In that year be was made a member of the State Executive Committee and served until 1872 As President of the Bowling green and National Savings Banks, both of which failed during the W inter of 1871, he was held responsible for the mismanagement which 1éd to their failure. Especially was this the case with the former, where large number of poor people in the First, Second, and Third Wards had deposits. The investigation into the mismanag of the bank showed that the funds had been squandered in the most reckless manner by the officers stock speculations and in other ways. The friends of Mr. Smith claim that in this case he was more sinned against than sinning, and that besides losing considerable amount of money which he bad invested in the bank, he made advances after the failure toward paying the depositors. No arrangements have as yet been determined upon for the disposition of the body. Mrs. Smith has placed the matter entirely in the hands of Mr. Ackert, a friend of the family, who will, of course, consult with the Police Commissioners relative to the funeral. The Board will meet to-day Among the notable people who were present in the halls of the hotel during the day were Taurlow Weed, Commissioners Gardner, Charlick, Duryee, Russell, Senator Tobey, Coroner Woltman, James Lee, Sheridan Shook George O. Jones of Albany, Geo. Starr, Commissioner Van Nort. Assemblyman Biglin, and Daniel D. Conover. These gentlemen used Room No. 204, opposite the dying man's apartment, as 8 reception-room The questions of municipal complications which grow out of the death of President Smith were very genorally discussed by the city and State pollticians. Ever since his death seemed inevitable, this matter has been the subject of considerable solicitude By his death, it will readily be seen, a tie occurs in the Board of Police and the two members who constituted what, with President Smith, was termed a Ring' and governed the entire proceedings of the Board, are now contronted with a party in the Board as strong as themselves. Commissioners Gardner, Russell, and Duryee, being all Repubiticans, it 18 thought not improbable that Mr. Charhek may be deprived of his power. Some of those present were 80 sanguine as to believe that the Board would now become a unit and work amicably together for the municipal good without regard for Rings. Of course the duration of this threatened dead-lock will extend only to the time it may require Mayor Havermeyer or the Legislature to select new member, buton this point another complication arises. It will be remembered that Henry Smith was retained in office by the charter of 1873 as President of the Board of Police Commissioners, and that a question of law arose on the legality of a retention in such terms, it being held by shrewd corporation yers that a charter could not retain any individual by name as President of a body which, in equity, had the right to name its own presiding officer. This trouble was bridged over by a formal election held by the Police Board at which Mr. Smith was elected President The question now recurs whether the Legislature has the right to nominate another man as President of the Board, or Mayor Havemeyer the right to nominate another member. CHARLES SHIRLEY BROOKS. A London telegram of yesterday states that Charles Shirley Brooks, the novelist and dramatic author. is dead. Mr. Brooks was a native of England, and was born in 1815. Preferring literature to law, he retired from the latter profession, and devoting himself to dramatic composition, he wrote several comedies and dramas, which met with success, and thus decided his subsequent career. He wrote the parliamentary summary of The London Morning Chronicle for several years, and also acted as correspondent of that journal in Russia. Syria, and Egypt, describing the condition of the laboring population in these countries. Mr. Brooks was theauther of several novels, the best known being " Aspen Court," "The Gordian Knot," The Silver Cord," and "Sooner or Later." Since the death of Mark Lemon Mr. Brooks had been editor of Punch, and also wrote regularly for The Illustrated London News. PERSONAL
