Show The Usury Question. Vie hate already announced that several bankers and brokers in New York had been arrested on the charge of usury in tiolation of the lairs of Xew York. At first, the report was considered sensational, but when the i : news was officially made known that the Grand Jury had actually found bills of indictment against leading apitalist and operators, no little consternation was exhibited. The laws of New York limit the rates of interest to seven per cent, jer annum, but financial men, to use a polite term in lieu of that of gamblers, insist that the greatest latitude should be allowed to speculation, and that the business in which they are charging premiums above that prescribed by statute, is perOne per cent, a fectly legitimate month has been charged by broktrs, rind during the last three months as high as two per cent. It is asserted by the persons inculpated, that it would be to the benefit fall if existing laws on the subject tv ere repealed. They say that if the banks could leud money at will the rates of interest would be less than they arc at present. It is alleged th; t busiuess men now pay at the rate cf 100 and 200 per cent, a year on the street, while'Jegitimately banks cannot lend it at more than seven. Thereforeif the law were abolished there woum be plenty of money, and consequently a low rate of. interest. The brokers are resorting to the engaged most specious arguments and plausible pretexts to carry into execution the Government has paid out on account of its indebtedness 351,000,-- , 000, more than half being to bondholders, whereas that amount should have been kept in circulation at at home, leaving the debt as a heritage to posterity, while measures should have been adopted to curtail the expenses of the Governm nt and reduce taxation. The Treasury Department has forced a contraction of one hundred millions, which is now uselessly locked up, when, if thrown into the channels of legitimate commerce, it would be 'invaluable in carrying ou the business of the country. TIIUESDAY, 24. . Nrablt a Coxflackatiok. At a little before 12 o'clock last night a cry of fire was raised on Main street, and had it not been for the prompt action of the night watchman, Mr. II Clark, assisted by Messrs. Horspool, Pritchett, Badger and Wilson, it is not at all improbable the west side of Main street that would be a heap of ahes. The proprietor of a small store left a little fire in the stove, and the wind arising in the nibt to a tremendous pitch, sucked up the burning embers on to the roof, which is considerably lower th:in the roo's of the buildings on either side.
