The Currency Printing Bureau has not accounted for the excess ot sheets lit packuges In excess ot the number authorized, an aggregate of 150,100 sheets of bond and treasury note paper.

REDEMPTION OF DUPLICATE COUPONS FROM ORI- UINAL PLATES, Connons from tbe original 11 lutes have, to the amount of millions of dollars, beeu presented aud redeemed at the Treasury. The exact amount and the denominations ol these duplicates may be readily ascertained upon Investigation at the proper de partments ol the Treasury. ISSUE OF EXTRA COUPONS, AND NO RECORD KBIT. Extra coupons of the Five-twenty bonds, third aud fourth series, have beeu Issued separate from the bonds. and no descriptive record ever made ol tbem. tbus rendering it easy to Issue millions of duplicates ol the same, aud have them redeemed without detec tion. Large amounts of duplicate Meven-thlrty cou pons have already been redeemed by the treasury. while their corresponding orlgluals were never Issued. The duplicate coupons er hive-twenty Donns, and the Seven-thirties redeemed and sent to the Registry. are known to be from the original pities lu the De partment. CONFUSED CONDITION OF THE PAPER ACCOUNT OVKH-IbHtK OF TWENTY-FIVE MILLION FRAC TIONAL CURRENCY. Of the vast amount of "membrane paper" for frac tional currency manufactured ad libitum In that divi sion of Ibe Currency Printing bureau, no account whatever lias been kept, the chief of the Bureau re fusing to allow the bookkeeper to do so, saying whenever requested that be lilmseir would Keep it, aud thus no record of even the amount of money printed on said paper further thau a return made by Mm In November, 18(14, acknowledging that he had printed 14i),Mi4 sheets, amounting to nine hundred and seventy-four thousand aud eleven dollars auo twenty- live ceuls (UT4.ull'iiO). How much more than the amount so returned has been printed may be conjec tured, but never known. Hlnce 1M14 no return whatever has been rendered of this puper. and these startling facts may explain In a satlsiactory manner the other wise luexpllcuble over-Issue of twenty-live millions of dollars of fractional currency that has beeu dis covered. In tbe same condition Is the "National paper," no record having ever been kept of either the quantity manufactured or the ouautli v used.

AZDARING RODBEli Y IN DA YL1GIIT. A Railroad Man Robbtd of Nearly Eight Thousand Dollar In a Bank The Deed Don In a Moment No Trace of Money or Thief. For the past four or five months wo have had comparatively few robberies of a startling char acter In this city, ami there appeared some reason to hope that our police hud succeeded la ridding the city of thut most expert and during: class of thieves whose operations have so often before startled our community. Huori may have J been the case uurniR tne eariy part 01 the summer, but recently we have had some indl cations that the "professionals" have not all lelt us, and still retain their old daring and adroitness. Yesterday afternoon, between two and three o'clock, a skillul and daring, robbery was per petrated at the National Loan Hank, 210 Tulrd street, the circuinataucos of whieh are as fol low: Between one aud two o'clock, Mr. John A, McCrae.of Cillinnvllle,IlUools,and Treasurer of the Bt, IiOUis, Vaudalla and Terre Uaute Kf 11 ron d, now In tho course of construction, vlBlted the bank named and drew $8070 wlilmi he had deposited there on Monday. He left the bank and went up town, where he met General W in slow,al8o connected witb the railroad above named. They had some conversation on business mailers, and Mr. AlcCrae returned to the banks wilh General Wlnslow for the purpose of draw ing $HHH) more. He had ftViOof the money he had drawn in his pocket, and the balance, $7570, in a small satchel, which be carried in bis baud. When he leached the bank counter, the Gene ral wrote out a check for the 81000, and asked for a stamp. Mr. MoCrae stepped forward to procure one, leaving the satchel on the floor behind the counter, where he had placed it between his feet on first entering. Taere were only some two or three persons in tbe bank at the lime. His attention was only called away aewseoouds, but an turning round bis satchel containing the J7670 had dis appeared. Tbe alarm was Immediately given, but no person had seen the theft committed, and it was a mystery to all. Some excitement was created by the discovery of the robbery, but wheD it became evident that tbe money was indeed actually gone, the gentleman suf fering from the loss took it with great calm ness and good sense. Information was Imme diately given to the Chief of Police and the detectives were soon sent on the war-path, several arrests on suspicion were made during the evening, but none of the money has yet been recovered. We are informed that one gentleman, who was In the bank at the time, states that ne saw a man walk out of theollice with a satchel In his hand, but, suspecting nothing, no alarm wbb given. It is probable some light will be thrown on the mystery lu a fewdayH. SC. Lotus Jiejmblican, Ibth. Tbe Loss of the U. S. Steamer Sacramento. I'ULl. PAKTICUI.AKS OF TUB DISASTER. The Boston Journal publishes the following letter, written by one of the officers of the United Stales steamer Sacramento, recently lost in the Kast India waters : "We went ashore on Wednesday evening, the 10th, Bt about 7,'. The shoals at tbe mouth of the 811111 buldlUK river have shlited out much further than they were marked In our charts, and, iustead of anchoring quietly In t'ocanedu harbor, as we Intended, we lound ouwelves bumping away on tbe bar. We worked as hard as men could work to get her off, from 8 at night until tbe next tuornluK, when we were obliged to give up all Ideaol saving the ship, and to think only of getting ashore ourselves. The men worked very well, aud behaved lar better than we expected. We hove overboard nil our guns, cut away the foremast, discharged over the sldeall our snot aud shell, water, etc. The surf wuB very high, aud a very powerful current running up Ibe river. They hay here that a vessel goes aihore here about once In three months. The lights on the couHl are all exactly the same, und it is lmpossiDle to Judge exactly of your position.

But we weie sucked lu imperceptibly by tl e current, and we only heard the breuket'i when we tirnt struck, and the seas lifted us lu till we were in twelve feet ot water. We have lost everything clothes, books, etc. Onlbu'sday mornlug we built two large rafts, and sent them ashore during the day: the Art, 1 went In all right In the niorulug. but the second started lu tbe afternoon, and got nearly ashore, when it was caught by an eddy, aud canted out to sea against the breakers, aud at a tremendous rate, . but tbey were picked up by a steamer which fortunately happened to be passing, and put on board of an American ship at (Jocauada, On Wednesday night we very uearly lost Harry Lyon. Ve tried to lower a boat to send around to I oca 11 ad a by sea for assistance, but the boat was swamped alongside, and Harry aud the crew were spilled out. Una ol the meu managed to get a bowline over Harry's bead, and we hauled him Fu very much exhausted, but not hurt. When we sent the II' st two raits olf, we went to work and built two more, one of which succeeded, while the other broke adrift, and went to sea with no one on board. The same day we got the two lauuebes lowered with considerable dllhculiy, and filled them up aud sent them auhure. The second cutter was upset alongside, and Waierman was spilled out, but we got him lu again. The first cutter was got ashore all right, and then the sea was too high to attempt any more with the boats. Mr. Juhnson. the Captain, Water man, Lyon, Pete Parker, and myself, with live men, were the only ones lelt on board. We smashed up all the wine, cooked a little coffee, and tried to be com fortable lor the night, but it was hard work: the ship was bumping so that we expected her to go t,i piece every moment. Friday morning tbe sea was running very high, but two ot the boats ventured off, and tue launch anchored inside the surf, while the whaleboat, with a crew ot lascars, euuie up to tbe ship. We all got ahore stile, though we did not expect It. I hauled down the colors Just belore I left, aud brought them wilh ine. We landed on a sand beach, organized the crew, aud embarked In the boats. We had eighty men In our boat, 18 all together. We pulled up the Hamballng rivr about twenty miles, when we came to a French settlement called rianan. where we lound quaneia and food, I got asleep at 12 at night on an old mat outside the house, with vermin runniug all over us.

HEAVY BANK DEFALCATION The New York Tradesmen's Na tional Bank Fleeced Out of $93,000-Two Tellers the Alleged Delinquents. Fi vm ttie yew York Tlcratd of to-day. Late yesterday afternoon a rumor forced Its wy Into Wall street to the effect that one of our national banks bad been ll-eced by two of its tellers to tne Buu uni of about (leO.mKi. It very soon alterwards be came known that the Institution which had thus snhYred wax the 1 rHuVxniun s National Bank, which Is located at No. till Broadway. The particulars of the delalcailon were.as nearly as could be ascertained, as follows: THE NI HI'ICTID PARTIES. Two Individuals, named resnrntlvely O. K. Baker aud j. Arnold, have been employed for the last thirty years In the '1 radesruen's National Burnt tne one as i'aying Teller and the other as Receiving Teller lo that establishment. Kotn men have been connected with the bank Irom their earliest years, and may be said to have grown up with the Institution, aud from the Irreproachable Uvea they led, coupled with their strict attent urn to business and aeneral rectitude ol conduct, the greatest trust aud contideuce were re posed in them. Mr. Raker Is a married man, with a lurge lumlly, the members ef which are mostly grown up. He Is between lorty-flve and fifty years of age. ot pleasing address, and has the respect ol a large circle of friends, besides his most intimate business associ ates lu tbe bank and eUewliere. Mr. Arnold Is also married, has alamlly, aud is esteemed by all who knowliliu. The members of the lam lies 01 both gen tlemen are now at Long lirai ch aud elsewhere, en joying tbe attractions of those summer reports, and the painful exposure which has now transpired will aoubili ss be a source ol great mortilicatlon to ihem. l ull! Wednesday morning these gentlemen were held to be all that luey ought to b , aud 11 will be a mutter of congratulation to many should they be en abled lo emerge from the cloud or susp'clon Which ni'W appears lo re-t upon them. Thr-e dys ai;o oer tuln reports, privately communicated to the dirccla-t of the hank, led them to surmise that all was not correct with tb cash returns of one of their tellers, and In Investigating the evidence they had against this individual they were led lo auspect the other. HOW THE DISCOVKKV WAS BKOUOaT ABOUT. An v person at all familiar Willi the mode of con ducting business in any ot our banking Institutions niui-t be aware ef the fact Hint opportunities are not eluom lacking which atlord men acting lu responsi ble positions in those e.itaDllshmeuts the means to avail themselves, if so disposed, of a portion ol their funds. Numerous Instances within the past few years stand ou record lu corroboration of this tact. For some time pa l a slight suspicion that something was g Ing wrong In the estubli h uieht agitated the mind of a geuilemnn connected wilh the Tradesmen's National Hank. On inquiry he lound there was some ground lor the suspicion. After weighing lite mailer over in his mind, the course he resolved upon adopting was to Inlorm the President ot his doubls.and have htru net In the mutter. Accord ingly, obeying this impulse, be wa'ted upon ine Preil deul, who Instituted an Investigation Into tbe financial allairs of the concern, when. It Is staled, the books ot the Paying Teller exhibited a delicti or tuu.ouo. Further in vestigation disclosed a still greater defalcation, amounting to about tki,ikU. As soon as these dis coveries were made, one of the tellers was imme diately suspended from the fiilltlmeut of the duties ol his oilice. The next day a like course was pursued towards tbe other. This was the state of affairs up to yesterdny afternoon, when a meeting of the dl rectois was held, but so surprised were they at the revelations made therein lu relation to two of tbe most trusted and respected men connected with the Institution, that little or no action was taken In refer ence to tbe accused parties. It will be seen at a glance, from the position occu pied by receiving and paying tellers of banks, bow easily these olllcers, if so disposed, can play each Into the other's hands, for an Improper purpose. Tbe funds ol the institution must necessarily pass through tbe hands of one or bolb. If, therefore, they felt de Blrous 10 operate together and make use of the funds of tue et-labltsbrueul lor personal nse, the opportunity was afforded them to do ao. Altbougb It Is thought that tbe operations wblch have resulted in loss to me bunk date baca some length of time, still the books on each examination day made no disclosures which might suggest anything like a defalcation or tamper ing wilh the funds until very recently. TBS ACTUAL LOBS TO THE BANK. Although the deficit was stated at first sight to be over 9. ,uoo. It has since beeu discovered that securi ties lound among the papers of Messrs. Arnold a id Baker w 111 reduce this amount to t7o.Miu. Tne surplus capital of the bank Is said to be over t 0,0n0, In addi tion 10 i he regular paid-up capital: consequently no lo'S will reault to deiHtsliors, nor will mu h trouble or Inconvenience be ieit wkn regard to tne funds of tbe Institution, THE TBADKHMKN'S BANK was originally organized under the old Safety Fund law of Ibis Mute, and came under the National Bank act about two years ago, tvlth a capital of one million of dollars. Its chief oflicers are Richard Berry. President, and Anthony Halsey, Cashier, and a large number ol gentlemen are employed m the establish ment lu lis various departments. Not a suspicion has hitherto been breathed ngalnsl a single indivi dual engaged in tne bank, and the present exposure Is a matter of the greatest regret to all, apart from any personal Interest felt In the gentlemen thus alleged to be Implicated. LETTEB PROM THE PRESIDENT. We have received the loliowlng letter from the President: 'Jo the Editor of the. Herald: 'J KAUKHMKN'S NATONAL BANK. NEW YOBK, August la. Exaggerated ruinori In reterence to a defalcation In ibis bank being rife, to lelteve tbe anxiety and apprehension ot the stockholders and public, I deem It my duty to stale that, owing to the dishonesty and collusion of the two tellers (who have enjoyed the conlideuce of tue oitlcers and directors! lor a period ol thirty years), they have beeu enabled to dt fraud the bank of ao amount equal to the sum of (Wono. This has been effected in a manner that no ordinary foresight of the otlloers could have pre vented, and It Is a source of sincere regret that their continence should have been so abused. The surplus of the bank, upwards of tisuviun. will be affected lo the extent of tTo.uno only, the bonds ot the delimiting Clerks lessening the dellclency to this amount. llMJHAKU BERRY, President.

The cause ot her removal Is the erection of a light house on or near the spot where she was formerly stationed.

The ram Mtonowall, which recently arrived at the Oosport Navy Yard from Washington, II. C, is now In the dry dock, and Is being thoroughly overhauled and fitted out for her long voyage to Japan. The Japanese oflicers on board pass their leisure time while their vessel is repairing by visiting Norlolk and partaking of the hospitalities or the citizens. The Uionewall will lie ready In a tew davs. and when coaled will adjust, and then sail immediately lor her declination. The Board of Oflicers Is now in session In Norfolk, under the direction of Col.

Another Heavy Bond Robbery. Portland, Me., August 17. The store of U. W. C'Brlen, at Cornish, was entered on the nlsht of August loth, and a safe robbed of $2U,000, lu Government and other bonds. Tho Extraordinary Weather. Meteorological records, it Is said, show that there has not been so wet a summer within the experience of the present generation. About 130 year ago. we are told, tbere was something of the kind, but: as nobody is living now to give ns the particulars, we are obliged to be content wilh the simple state ment of the meteorological fact. Perhaps one or tbe severest of all the many rain storms with which we have been visited almost dally, during tbe season, was that whloh swept over all this fiart of the country last night and this morn ng. We fear the bad ell act, it must have had la the agricultural districts. Another remarkable peculiarity Is the fact that the same condition of things is reported on tne other side of the Atlantio. While It was raining in New York yesterday, cable des patches inform us it was also raining in London, and, for that matter, throughout all England. Other current phenomena are recorded. For instance, during the storm yesterday mauy persons at Albany observed in the mornlug masses of gelatinous matter containing minute granules of a reddish and grey color. Micros copic investigations have revealed the cause or these dust storms and blood rains to be, either portions of various minerals or shells of Infu soria, or parts of plants or Insects carried into the atmosphere by the winds. Infusorial shells and aquatic plants of especial localities have been identified after having crossed theooean and been deposited in dust storms, thus traolug aerial currents. They originate lu the tropical regions. Oue naturalist considers them as floating at a height or fourteen thousand feet Irom the earth, carried by the wind, and de posited from the clouds as much rain, aud usually with ralu. It Is unusual for them to full so far away from the tropics as this; but as we have said, this, lu all lis aspects, Is nothing. If not an "unusual" season.. y. tY. J.'veniiti Krprvis, 16th.
