From the Chicago Times. ; " The Success of the Crosby Opera House Art Association. The past week has been s fruitful one for this -widely-spread enterprise. Our exchanges from every quar ter are filled with notices of its success. Its advertisements, which are on a scale surpass ing in general extent anything which has been attempted by even American enterprise before, occupy pages of the New York press. A correspondent writing of its success in New York, says : " The office reminds me or a railroad ticket office a few minutes before the departure of the train." The feeling of personal interest in Mr. Crosby seems to prevade the whole country. Every little town or village has its one or more clubs, and we understand that the rap id sale of certificates throughout the country is in a measure to be attributed to the cordial i support of the National Bank, the Presidents . and Cashiers of which are its most numerous andefficient agents. . Another large club has been organized here upon the plan of that of the express and telegraph men. It is to be composed exclu sively of railroad and steamboat men. They have secured 1,000 certificates. The pork packers have also a club of 590 nearly filled. The Young Men's Associations areforming a large club. The Chamber of Commerce club is in full. Several Board of Trade clubs, holding a large number of cer tificates, have been filled, and others are in progress. Activity in this line seems to in crease with each week. These movements are rapidly faking up the certificates all over the country, and hastening the iappy consu mation of a scheme which has in It more in- 4-A4 nftvolHr ami unirit than ftnvt hinp" 171 csu, uwtwwj i' , a which has engaged public attention within our recollection.

AN ACT TO ENABLE THE BANKS OF THE ' STATE TO CLOSE "THEIR BUSINESS. Whereas, The financial policy of the Federal Government adopted to maintain the national credit, with the heavy taxes Imposed by that Gov ernment on the Bi.nks of the State, makes it ab solutely necessary that said Banks should close their business, and renders a further continuance of their corporate existence idle and useless to the people of the State, - . , " Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of North-Carolina, and it is hereby enacted by the authrity of the same, That If Jlie Stockholders of any of the Banks chartered by the General Assembly of this State sluJl be unwilling to close the business of their Banks by an assign ment, and are desirous to appropriate all the estate and effects of such Bank lor the benefit of its creditors, and to close its business and surrender, their chartered rights and franchises in conformi ty with the subsequent provisions of this act, such Stockholders may by their bill in equity in the name of such Bank filed in the Court of Equity ot the county in which the principal Bank or any ot its branches may be located, require the credi tors of such Bank to prefer and establish their demands within such time (not less than twelve months after decree therefor) as shall be allowed by the Court. The Court shall upon filing such bill appoint as commissioner a suitable person acquainted with the business of such Bank, who shall be paid for his services such sum as may be allowed by the court. Such commissioner shall give bond with ample security, payable to the State for the faithful discharge of his duties in such sum as shall be approved by the court, which bond shall be filed in court and may be sued on for the use of such, persons as the court may allow. , Sec. 2. Be it further enacted, That the commis sioner appointed as aforesaid, upon filing the bond required of him, shall forthwith become, and so long as he shall contiue such commissioner and no longer, shall be vested with all the estate, ef fects and rights of action which such Bank posses sed, had or held or was vested with, at the time of filing such bill, and which such Bank could at that time have lawfully sold, assigned or trans ferred, including all debts due to such Bank or to any person for its use and all liens and securities therefor. The court may require such Bank by its Cashier or other proper officer to endorse without recourse, all such bills or notes, draw all such checks or orders for money and execute such other paper writings as the court shall deem ne cessary or useful to enable the commissioner to demand or recover and receive the estate and ef fects of such Bank for the benefit of its creditors. The commissioner shall have the like remedy to recover and receive all the estate, debts and effects belonging to such Bank at the time of filing its bill, as such Bank niiirht have had if no proceed ings had been had under this act; and should any such Bank have made any sale or transfer of its Eroperty or effects, fraudulent as to its creditors ut valid as between the parties, in such cases such commissioner shall stand in the place of the creditors, and may recover and receive suclrpro pertyorellects so Iraudulently sold or transferred, although such Bank could not have done so. In all suits prosecuted by such Commissioner at law or in Equity the plaintiff shall be styled " The Commissioner," (adding thereto the name of the particular Bank for which he has been appointed the Commissioner,) and if at the time of filing 6uch bill by any Bank any action at law or pro ceeding or suit in Equity shall be pending in the name of 6uch Bank for the recovery of any estate, debt or demand which might or ought to be vested in such Commissioner as alorcsaid, such Commis sioner shall be admitted to prosecute the same in like manner and to like effect; and no suit pend ing at any time for the recovery of any estate, debtor demand in the name of such Commission er shall be abated by the death or removal of such Commissioner, but a Commissioner to be appoint ed in such cases (as is hereinafter provided) shall be admitted to prosecute the same in like manner and to like effect as if the same had been origin ally commenced by him. Sec. 3. Be it further enacted, That the Commis sioner aforesaid 6hall in all things connected with the discharge of his duties as Commissioner, act under the direction and orders ot the court ; and it any such Commissioner shall refuse or unrea sonably delay or neglect to obey any rule, ordet or decree of the court, it shall be the duty of the court to remove such Commissioner; and upon such removal or upon any vacancy by death or otherwise, the court shall appoint some other person Commissioner, whovhall enter into bond in such sum as the court 6hull direct in like man ner and for the like uses and purposes us provided iu cases of the Commissioner first appointed ; and thereupon all the estate, property, effects debts and rights ot action vested in such Bank after the time ot filing its bill, not before lawfully disposed ut by any former Commissioner, shall be forthwith vested in such new commissioner as legally and effectually as if lie had been the com missioner first appointed; and the court shall have the power to require any former commissioner or the representative of any deceased commissioner, to surrender to such new commissioner any such estate, effects, money or evidence ot debt which of right should be in the hands or possession ot such new commissioner. Sec. 4. Be it further enacted, That all demands of creditors may be preferred and proved before such commissioner, and for all purposes connect ed with the investigation of the demands of any persorfclaimiug to be a creditor as aforesaid, the commissioner shall have power to administer ull oaths required iu the course of such proceedings. Any supposed creditor whose claims shall be wholly or in part disallowed by any commission er, may appeal to the Court, wbere the same shall be determined according to the course of the Court, or decided at law, as the court may direct ; and iu all such appeals the case shall be docketed in the name of the creditor against "The Com missioner of (adding the name of the Batik of which he Is commissioner,) and shall be tried and determined as like suits between other parties, In all cases in which any such commissionershall be a party, whether plaintiff or defendant, and it shall appear that there has been mutual credit given by the Bank, and any other corporation or any person who is the opposite party, or there arc mutual debts between them, whether such debts be due and payable or not, the account between the parties shall be stated, and one debt shall be set off against the other, and the balance of such account only shall be allowed or paid on eitheir side respectively ; and the costs in all cases shall be paid by either part' as the court shall direct. The commissioner shall from time to time pre- fiarc statements in writing of all claims allowed iy him; showing the character of such claims and the evidence on which their validity is based ; and there shall be no application of any lunds in the hands of such commissioner to the satisfac tion in whole or in part of any claim whatever, except uuder a rule or order of the court there for. Sec. 5. Beit further enacted. That the court shall make all proper orders and decrees for the collec tion of the assets of such Bank, of every nature and description, and for the payment of the costs and expenses incident to the proceedings. The creditors whose claims and demands have been proved and established as aforesaid against the estate and effects of such Bank in the hands of the commissioner, shall be entitled to payment in satisfaction of the same out of the assets in hands of such commissioner, as the court shall order and direct; and all such claims and demands not prosecuted, proved and established accordingito the provisions of this act within the time allowed by the decree of the court therefor, shall be barred of recovery by any actiou at law or other proceed ing in equity ; and any suit brought for their re covery otherwise than is herein provided shall on the piea of the aommissioner of such Bank be abated, or on his motion be dismissed. Sec. 6. Be it further enacted, That it shall not be necessary in any bill filed under this act, to make any particular persons or corporations parties by name, but it shall be sufficient if the defendants be denominated creditors of the particular Bank in behalf of which suit may be instituted ; and notice of the bill shall be published for the space of thirty days so soon as it may be filed in at least fifteen newspapers, one of which shall be pub lished in the City of Raleigh ; one in the city of Charleston, S. C; one in the city of Richmond, Va.; one in the city of Baltimore, Md.: one in the city of Philadelphia ; one in the city of New York ; one in the city of Augusta, Ga.; one in the city of Montgomery, Ala.; one in the city of N. Orleans; and one in the city of Nashville, Tcnn. Sec. 7. Beit further enacted, That any one of the the Judges of the Supreme Court, or of the Su perior Courts of law and equity, shall have power at his chambers, from time to time, to make any such rules, orders or decrees as may be necessary or required for expediting the settlement of all contiovcrsies between any commissioner appoint ed under this act, and other parties, for the guid ance and instruction of any commissioner in any matter connected with the discharge of his duties, for the removal or appointment of a commission er, or for the speedy execution of any of the powers by this act conferred on a courtor equity. Sec. 8. Be it further enacted, That the filing by or on behalf of any Bank, of a bill in the court of equity, under the provisions of this act, shall, upon the appointment and qualification of a com missioner thereunder, be deemed and taken to all intents and purposes to be a surrender by such Bank of all the corporate rights and franchises granted to such Bank ; and all laws by virtue of which any such Bank then exists as a corporation are hereby repealed, and snch corporation shall be thereupon dissolved, and all the effects and consequences following or incident to the disso lution of a corporation at common law shall ensue thereon; and any statute law of this State to the contrary notwithstanding. - Provided, however, That the estate, property, and rights of action vested in the commissioner, as provided by this :et, shall not be in any way diverted or impaired thereby, nor shall the rights of any creditor of such Bank against such commissioner or against the estate or effects so vested in him, be thereby impaired or in any way affected, and such com missioner shall thereupon be considered as the plaintiff in the pending proceedings; and, pro vided, further, .that should there be any balance remaining in the hands of any such commissioner after the satisfaction of the claims of such credit ors, the commissioner under the direction of the court shall distribute and pay the same to and among those who shall be justly entitled thereto as having been stockholders or members of such corporation at the time of its dissolution as afore said, or their legal representatives. ' Sec. 9. Be it further enacted, That all suits on debts due the Banks contracted with a branch Bank shall be brought in the connty where the branch was established, and if brought in any other connty may be dismissed on motion.

Ayer's Ague Cure, FOB THE SPEEDY CURE OF Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague, Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical Headache or Bilious Headache, and Bilions Fevers, indeed for the whole class of Diseases origi nating in biliary Derangement, caused by the malaria of miasmatic countries. FEVER AND AGUE is not the only con sequence of the mias matic poison. A great variety of disorders arise from its irritation, in the malarious districts,, among which are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blind ness, Tooth-aebe, Ear ache. Aaterrh. Asthma.. Palpitation, Painful Affection of the Spleen, Hys terics, Pain in the Bowels, Colic, Paralysis, and Derangement of the Stomach, All of which, when originating in this cause put on the intermittent type, or become periodical. This " Cure " expels the poison from the blood and thus cures them all alike. It is not only the most effectual remedy ever discovered for this class of complaints, but it is the cheapest and. moreover is perfectly safe. No harm can arise from its use, and the patient when cured is left as healthy as if he had never had the disease. Can this be said of any other cure for Chills and Fever? It is true of this, and its importance to . those afflicted with the complaint cannot be over estimated. So sure it is to cure the Fever and vAgue, that it may be truthfully said to be a cer tain remedy. One Dealer complains that it is not a good medicine to sell, because one bottle cures a whole neighborhood. . ' . - Prepared by Dr. J. C.
