Re:
National Holdings Corporation-Request to Withdraw
 
Registration Statement on Form S-1
 
(File No. 333-153859)
 

Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
 
          Pursuant to Rule 477 of Regulation C of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Act ”), National Holdings Corporation (the “ Registrant ”) hereby respectfully applies to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) for consent to the withdrawal of the Registrant’s Registration Statement (File No. 333-153859) on Form S-1 filed with the Commission on October 3, 2008 (the “ Registration Statement ”), together with all exhibits thereto.
 
          The Registrant is requesting withdrawal of the Registration Statement because it was never declared effective by the Commission.
 
          The Registrant confirms that no securities were offered or sold under the Registration Statement. The Registrant also requests in accordance with Rule 457(p) of the Act that all fees paid to the Commission in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement be credited for future use.
 
          It is our understanding that this application for withdrawal of the Registration Statement will be deemed granted as of the date that it is filed with the Commission unless, within fifteen days after such date, the Registrant receives notice from the Commission that this application will not be granted.
 
          If you have any questions regarding the foregoing, please do not hesitate to contact Mark F. Coldwell of Littman Krooks LLP at (212) 490-2020.
                                                                                          
  Very truly yours,  
     
  NATIONAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION
