The Massacre at Cawni ore.—The wrib-r of
the following deeply interesting narrative of the
massacre at Cawnpore is repre.-wnted to be a faithful
and intelligent native spy in the employ of the In
dian Government, named Nujoor Jewarree:
“Whf n the Nenas guns opened on the boat in which
Wheeler Sahib, the General, v/ ts lit has now been
fully ascertained from servants end others who wore
wi h tno English party, tout Gen. Wheeler was not
dead, before the massacre, but was put wounded ou
board the boats) he cut its cable and dropped down
the river. Home little way down the boat got stuck
near the shove. The inlaiitry andguuscame up and
openeu lire.
The large gun they could not manage, not kjiovr
iag howto work the ‘-lev.-ting screw,and did not
n e it. With the small gun they fired grape tied
up iu bag.*, r.nd the infantry fired with their
muskets. This went on all day. it did not hint the
.Sahib log much. They returned the fir- with their
rill a from the boat,nud wounded several of tho
Sepoys on the bank, who therefore drew off toward
evening.
The Sepoys procured a very big boat, into which
tiiey all got, and dropped down Uic river upon the
Sahib s boats. Then the Sahibs tired again with
Ueir ntieb and wounded more Sepoys in the boat,
Mid they drew off and ieft them. At night came a
great rusii of water in the river, which fioated
off mo Sahib’s boat, and they passed on down
Iho river, irbt owing to *ho storm and dark
night they only proceeded throe or four Loss.
h> t e meantime to*- intelligence of the Sa
ahib’s defence had reached ine Ner.a, and he
sent off that night three more of the
native regiment (Ist Oude Infantry) and surrounded
ihe Sahib's boat, and eo took Uieiu and brought them
back to (Jawupore.
Then came ou oi that lion’- CO Sahibs and 25
inem-Sahibe and four children—one boy and three
mlf grown girls. The Nona then ordered the meia-
Ssbibs to be .*eparfiled from f c Hahlbsto be shot by
tiie Giil Pultun (Ist Bengal Nat ve lnfauiry,) bu’-
they said, ‘We whl jam. bi.oot Wheeler Sahib, who
hon uiaae our Pultun’s usraegiuat, uud whoso aou
is our quartermaster; ueiiiier will we kin the Sahi
b Put ti.eui iu prison.’ T?ieu - uid the Nadir
Pultun, ‘What word is tide? Put them in prison;
we wiii kill tire male. fco the Sahib log were seat
ed on the ground, and two companion ot the Nadir
Puituu placed themselves over ugainnt them, with
their iiiuskots ready to hie.
Then said one oi tho mc-m-oukibs, —the doctor’s
wife she w*as, I-don’t know I<:h name, but lie was
either Ruperiatending surgeon or mudlcal sUrekeep
ei—l Ki.l not leave my husbaiki. if he must die I
will die with him.’ Ho Phe r;.u aud Bat down behind
her husband, c lasping him round the waist. Direct
ly she said this the other mem Sahibs said, *We will
also die with our husbands, and they all went and
sal do w u beside their husbands. Then their husbands
iaid, Go back,’ but *hey would not. Whereupon
ibe Nona ordered his soldiers, aud they going in
)>i!!ed them forcibly away, seizing them by the arm,
but they could not pud away the Doctor’s wife, who
here : einuineu.
Then, jurat as theßopoyS were going to tire, the
pacjre f chaplain) caked out to the Nona and reques
ted leave to read prayers before they died. The
Ner.a granted it. The padre’s bonds were unloosed
pc. far us to enable him to take a small book out of
his pocket, fr*m which he read ; but all this time one
of the Sahib-logs, who wap eko- in the arm and the
leg, kept crying out to the Sepoys, ‘if you mean to
kill ir , why don’t vou ect about it quickly and get
the work done 7 \Vl.*y delay V After tlie padre lmd
read a few prayers he shut the book, aud the Su
hib-log plio k bands all round Then the Sepoys
fired.
One Sahib roiled one way. one another, as they
pat but they were imt. dead, only wounded ; so they
went in nnd finished them off with swords. After
this Iho whole of the women and children /that is,
including these taken out of other boats) to the
number ot 122, were taken away to the yellow
house, which was your hospital. This was the Bi
thoor Knjah’s house in th • civil lines, where l ar.d
four more Sepoys were confined, and where I had
tho opportunity of talking to the sergeant major’s
wi:e. After this, wh n we (Sepoys were taken
and \vn with the Nona Futteypoic, the women and
children were taken away to the house where they
were afterwards murdered.
“ ‘Were any of our women dishonored by the Ne
na oi his people V None that 1 kuow of, excepting
in the case ot Gen. Wheeler's youngest daughter,
and about tlifb lam not certain. Tins was her cir
ouinstanm. Aa they were taking the mem-Hahibs
out of tho boat a sowar (cavalry mau) took her
away with him to his house. Hue went quietly;
but at night she rose and got hold of the owar’s
•word.
He was asleep, his wife, hi* sou, andliio mother
•n-law, were sleeping in hie house with him. She
killed them all with theswoi-’, auu then she went
n ;d threw herself down the well behind the house. —
In the mom mg, when people came and found the
dead in the house, the cry was, ‘win has dona this ?’
Then a neighbor said that iu the night he had seen
someone go and throw himself into ihe well. They
went and looked, and there was Missee Baba, dead
and swollen.
The coi respondent of the Loudon Times adds to
this account:
T have seen the tearful slaughter house, and
also saw one ot the Ist native infantry men, accord
ing to order, wash up pa : of the blood which stains
the floor before hanging. The quantities ot dr*ssct>,
clogged thickly with blood, children's irocks, frills,
and ladies’ under clothing of all kineb, also boys’
t ronser*. leaves of Bibles, and of one book in partic
ular, which seems to be strewed over the whole
Since, called Preparation for Death, also broken
aguarreotype cases oiny, lots of them, mid hair,
some nearly a yard loug ; bourn U all bloody, and
one or two shoes. 1 picked up a bit of pap’ r wit h
on it. ‘Nod’s hair, with love, a .and opened and found
a little bit tied up with rioapd. Ti e first fellows
that went in, I beiievc, saw the bodies with their
arms and legs sticking through the ground. They
had all been thrown ia a heap in the vreli.”
It would seem from the Spy's account t’.ai he
left Cawnpore during the day, ou the night of which
the w omen were slaughtered alter being fiendishly
outraged.

I The fact that notwithstanding several recent

jr : this way, perhaps, from jd500,000 to
that would otherwise have reached us, has been
temporarily withheld. For some time previously
shipments have been coming forward at the rate of
at least £150,000 or £200,0*10 per weik, end noth
ing had occurred to produce any materia! change in
the relations of trade, which rendered these pay
ment due to us but, with the rate of discount at
JO per cent, for the choicest bills,of course every
American merchant availed himself as ar as possi
ble of his credit here lo deiay for remitting fore.aims
which would otherwise have been provided for in
due course. With the return of confidence, there
fore, not only will the usuai shipments be resumed,
but many arrears will have to be met, and as the
fortnightly consignments continue to reach Califor
nia from New York tb* ability to meetthese calls
may be expected rapidly to revive. It may be
hoped, therefore, that during the next two or three
months our receipts from this quarter will again at
least suffice, with the quantities from Australia, to
keep the stock iu the Bask of England from further
reduction.
A t this moment wc have the X 373,000 brought by
the last Australian mail nearly due at Southamp
ton, but there are no other very heavy amouuts to
be anticipated. Whether the Eastern demand will
continue on the comparatively moderate scale as
sumed during the past fortnight depends on a varie
ty of contingencies. Meanwhile, Austria has yet to
make her final arrangements for resuming cash
payments on the Ist of January, and at Constanti
nople there is anxious speculation as to the posi
biiily of attracting new funds to keep the machine
ry cf State from actual breaking down From bo‘h
ihfcse directions our own markets may possibly be
influenced. On the other hand, the Bank of France,
if/it ,-houid resort to any extensive issue of £2 notes,
may create some parllal inflation. The balance of
probab lities is. therefore, very even, and the con
clusion is that we may remain for sometime without
anything to enliven cr to aggravate our present dull
condition.
State of the Consol and Specie Market—
Gold for the East.—The funds opened Friday
night with some animation and most descriptions of
i-ecurUies experienced a rise, but the tone of the
market was altered by a heavy sale of Con
sols. The first transactions were at the improv
ed quotation of yesterday afternoon—9o£ to j, and,
although there was for some time a tendency to a
farther upward movement, there va.. ultimately a
reaction of an eighth, the final pi ices being 90f to 1
lor money and 9U- U to l for the new account on the
JOth of November. There was not much general
business, end the rate for money remained at • to
per cent. Exchequer bills, 9s. to ss. discount.
In the discount market to-day the demand was ac
i live in preparation for the payments falling due to
morrow, which will be very large.
A moderate amount of business has been trans
act and in foreign stocks, and prices show no varia
tion.
In th© foreign exchanges this afternoon tho rates
were generally the same as last post.
Tho final prices of the French Three per Cents,
on the Paris Bourse Friday evening were GBf Isc.

The Commerce of Great Britain*
The movements of the British Commerce during
two thirds of the current year are exhibited in the
ret urns just issued bv the Board of Trade. In tlieir
gross results these tables present the same features
wfiich have for bo long past, characterised these pe
riodical abstracts of our export and import trade.—
Expansion is still the rule. During the August last
passed the total declared value of exported corn
.noditea was £11,638,805 against £10,753,292 in the
corresponding month of last year, and £8,891,476 in
August, 1854. For the eight mouths ending on the
iHt iust., the exportations had reached a total of
£31,066,718 exceeding by nearly seven millions Ihe
entire amount lor any whole year anterior to 1853.
In 1856 tho eight months’ exports were valued at
£74,689,934, and iu 1855 at £60,154,178. The giosa
expansion ou the eight months Commerce lias there
fore been almost exactly 10 millions, the growth
in two years exceeding 24f millions. If the remain
ing third of the year should equal the first two-thirds,
in its commercial activity, the aggregate value of
exported articles in 1857 will fall very slightly short
of 130 millions.

been quiet. Not any real pressure to sell has, however, j
been observable, and though, from the small demand,
salo3 in tho early part of the w eek were made with diffi
culty, yet buyers have found the prices of useful cottou
maintained, particularly during the last day or two,

apparent. Our quotations for American are not altered.

*Jh©steamship Texas, from Vera Crux, tee 7th in
j stint, arrived at New Orleans on Sunday last. We
i copy the following items of news from the Fica
\yune: - .
• Our files by this arrival are to the morning of ihe
7th from Ver* Cruz, aud the evening of the 2d from
the capitoL The newa is important. Another San
ta Anna c mspirncy had bean diacovei ed, and by
I the prompt action of tbe Government only true-
tinted. Ttie revolution wae t > have broken out on
1 Friday, t'ae 3£>tij, and al! ti.a: day. tbe day before.
nd Hie day after, the city waa tided with exeite-
I meet and alarm. So in 08 * was the fear of some,
especially among tbe foreign population, who hd
oniy re-ad of popular excesses in Mex’oo. that they
clofafac their chops during the morning of the expect
ed revoSutioh. The hour of mtd-dav passed, how
ever, wit.*iou : any outbreak, (the Government in
the meuatiine having qitic-tiy made several arrests,
n mll frustrated the whole planj and doors were
again opened sud business resumed as usoal,
though the city aid not become perfectly quiet again
for two or thieo-davs after, wnen the facts all be
come known. The following are among the nume
rous c onspirators- arrested: Gens. Salas, Obando,
Gains >, Zir-s and lionilla. Col. Dominguez; Bre.
Fernandez de Janrequi, Gnitian, Velez. Falcon, I
fcc. ire., many of. them high in utithjrity during
the r-ige of Sant. Anna, aud doubtless in Tils confi
dence at the present time.
As to the plana of tbe conspirators they had not
been made public in detail. The only thing that
seemed at an settled was that the present Govern
ment was to b; tom dowu. Nor was it known how
the conspiracy was discovered by the Government,
though.it war. generally believed that there was
treattiery in iha camp. It is certain, however, that
it is at an end for the present. Tne national festivi
ties of the dr th passed off without the occurrence
of any event . o mar the occasion.
Kumors of conspiracies in other parts of the Re-
Dubii.-, at. Orizava, Jalapa and Puebla, in particu
lar. were life. They Were all, however, in ail pro
bability, branches of that at the capital, and with
its discovery wid doubtless he trustrated also.
Tne guerrilla bauds on the great Acapulco road
continued still to hold their own against Gcu. Alva
rez, and communication with tile Pacific thereby
was wholly cut ofi. No mail had arrived for a
month, and everything was believed to have fallen
into the hands of the rebeis. Several Successes of
the Government troops were reported, but they
were evidently of little moment. It was rumored
that the town of Tiitla had been burned.
A quorum of the Federal Congress was finally,
after teu days’delay, obtained on Saturday, the
zb th, ltd members being present. The election for
President of the Coimniitee on Credentials, which
in a degree decides the c haraoter of the House, was
very closely contested, Senor Ruiz representing the
Government, Senor Lerdo the Congressional party.
TLe political question at the bottom of the election
was whether or uot “extraordinary” powers should
be conferred upon the President in the present crisis.
Senor Ruiz was elected by a bare majority. It is
doubtful, however, whether the powers asked will
be i referred. The “Congressional rule ’ party is
very strong. . ,
The Representatives of the Louisiana Tehuame
jiee Company, who,it will be seen, relumed by the
Texas, had offered ft!,700.000 of the stock of the
same to the Mexican capitalists, by whom, notwith
standing tlieir natural timidity, it was everywhere
w-ii received. The Extraordinary, noticing the de
parture of our fellow citizens, says :
So far as we ‘-an learn they have succeeded in
this to their fullest expectations, and to the satisfac
tion of those interested with tuem iu the greut Mexi
can national enterprise of an inter-oceanic railroad
across Tehuantepec. The best proof of their suc
cess is to be found in the eagerness which has been
evinced in taking up the stock of the company iu
this capital. Although but a week has elapsed
since the books of ‘lie company were opened, al
ready several hundred thousand dollars have been
subscribed, and we are ruily assured that as much
more lias been pledged, and that, too, by Mexican
capitalists.
Noticing the departure of the American Commis
sioners tho Extraordinary gives the following pleas
ing instance ol international courtesy :
During their stay with us, these gentlemen liave
rec..ivd many polite attentions. They hare been
feast ;d and toasted on all sides by tbe first people of
tiiis e ipitiil. The President himself, in order to
manile it Lis cih em ol them personally, and his good
f-eling I’towards 1 ’towards Americans generally, entertained
them at a breakfast iu the palace, aud when they
left for their homes, placed upon the road an extra
escort, in order to make their.iouruey to the ooaet as
safe as possible.
The now assured success ot this great work has
given a wonderful impetus to everything on the
Isthmus. Among other things, the Supreme Gov
ernment had. by special decree, authorized the foun
dation of three new cities thereon, one at the mouth
of the Coatzacoaloos, to be called “Colon another
“Ii urbide,” at Suchril, or the head of small boat
navigation; and still another in the Sierra, to be
failed “liumroldt.” The city of Minatitlan, at the
head of steamship navigation, has long been in the
most nourishing <;• indition. A square league of land
’ i granted tor each of the new towns, which are to
tie laid out under [he BUperintendence of Messrs.
Jecker dr Cos., city of Mexico
Ot the other railroad enterprises, that of Vera
Cruz continues to receive every encouragement;
Gov. Vidaurri promises to that of Monterey all the
assistance within his power, while Gov. Garz.a bas
recently been in San Luis Potosi waking up the
people of that city on tha subject of the Tampico
connection with the capital. A* a re-uniou of the
capitalists on San Luts Gov. G. stated that two
millions of dollars were air. •dy secured, aud
Hint lie only asked of them the means for con
structing forty leagues. Their decision wae not
known.
The late severe storm seems to have extended all
along tiie Mexican coast, tVera Cruz doing con
siderable damage. Among other structures the
tower of tiie Merced yielded to its violence. A north
er so severe of course put an end to the vomito.—
The weather at the city of Mexico was very cold and
“winter clothing failed to keep out the pinching ef
fects of the air.”
We have no further intelligence of (he filibuster
invasion of Sonora. The State Government orga
nized ou the id'll by the selection of Gen. Pesquiera
Governor, and Gen. Urrea L eutenant Governor.
Things in Yucatan remained at last advices m
slat’i -/’to, the Government still in posession of
Merida and adjoining posts, the revolutionists hold
ing their own at Caiupeaehy and all along the coast.

September Uepoi l of Mount Vernon Associa
tion.
In presenting the report of Ihe Association for
the month of September, there is but little of actual
effort to be added to that which has been already
reported. „ ,
The absence from home of nearly all who have
been earnestly engaged in the advancement of the
cause, and ihe consequent impossibility of extrao
dinary or concerted effort among the friends of the
Association, are sufficient to explain this apparent
inaction.
With these disadvantages, lioweve-, there ia a
brightening prospect ahead, and the strongest
ground for believing that anew and fervent in
terest is bring arou Q eii throughout a ! the Southern
States, w hich must speedily end in the consumma
tion of the purposes of the Association.
North Carolia. —There are cheering returns
from the Old North State. From ten counties the
‘sum of $T,436 bo has been reported. Efforts will be
renewed to canvass every county ; and ifthe iriends
of the Association exhibit hereafter the same spirit
they have already manifested, a noble addition to the
fuiiil may be expected.
MISSOURI —During the summer interegnum, there
has been, in a great measure, a suspension of effort,
but in October there will be renewed and united
exertions in behalf of the cause. At the Agricultu
re 1 State Exhibition at St. Louis a fair will be held
by the ladies, in aid of the funds of the Association,
aud the result of the zeal of the friends of the enter
j pi l -e on this occasion will be hereafter reported.
California.— ln San Francisco an appeal for
| the Mount Vernon Association has been made, and
there is do reason to doubt a speedy and satisfactory
response.
PENNBLTV ania.—Assurances have been received
from Philadelphia, that an interest is manifesiedin
that city by some of her most distinguished citizens,

Another Suspension.
The Branch of the State Bank in this city sus
pended yesterday. The mother bank iu Savannah
suspended the day previous.
In our article yesterday, we expressed the opin
ion that the other banks of the city would probably
suspend—they, however, continue specie payments.
At a meeting of the Presidents Thursday night, of the
four specie paying banks, the ’‘Augusta,” “City,”
“Insurance,” and “ Mechanics ,” it was resolved not
to suspend—and yesterday witnessed one of the most
ridiculous farces ever enacted by grown up men.
Each refused to receive the notes of the other, and
threw out everything but their own notes or coin;
hence, if a man had a note to pay, and had bills on
eacii of the four Banks, he had to go and procure
coin or the bills of the Bank at which his note was
payable, or submit to a protest. And this is called
banking! To ourmind, it looks more like the sharp
practice of a Broker, who is always looking out
for a chance to turn a short corner on his neighbor.
The idea of a Banker and Banking implies some
thing dignified, high-toned nnd honorable. We
confess the conduct of these four Banks savors of
anythiug else. We have not time to say more to
day. We may revert to it again, unless there is a
change, and we shall not hesitate to apply the lash.
The Banks—Ourself.
Having been assured that wo were misinformed
as to the action of the then, specie paying Banks, on
Friday, in rejecting the bills of each other, and re
quiring the coin or their own bills in payment, we
learn on enquiry, that some of them took the bills
of al! specie paying Banks throughout the day,
m payment of notes and checks, and that all did,
after about 10 or 11 o'clock in the day. Hence the
erroneous information. We take great pleasure in
making this statement, because it relieves those in
stitutions from the censure which such a repre
hensible course merited, and which we deemed it
our duty, ad an independent journalist, to admin
ister promptly. In conclusion, it is due to ourself
to state, that it affords us no pleasure to condemn
the policy of our Banks, especially as it has so uni
formly met our approbation, and been such as to
commend them to the confidence of the people.—
We wguld, therefore, much prefer, if we were to
consult our own private feelings, to pass over in Bi
lence any ordinary departure from a potioy which
we regard proper ; but we have a duty to perform
as a public journalist to the people, and if we hesi
tated or faltered in its performance, we should re
gard ourself totally unfit for the position we occupy.
We shall, therefore, to the best of our ability, per
form that duty impartially, as well to the Banks as
the people, difficult as it may be, and please or of
fend whom it may.
Complete Suspension In Angiistn.
Yesterday morning the four Hanks that paid
specie Friday suspended—the suspension is, there
fore, complete in Augnsta.
Much as such a result is to be deplored by every
friend of a sound specie paying currency, it was a
matter of inexorab e necessity, in order to promote
and protect the interests of the whole country.—
Three weeks ago, our great staple commanded fifty
per cent, more than it would Friday. Thenjit
sold in any quantity offered, at 15tolJJ cents—
Friday it could not he sold at any price, except
in very small lots at about an average of ten cents.
The other productions of the country had shared the
same or even a worse fate, for they could not be sold
at all. There was, therefore, an almost perfect
stoppage of commercial operations, when every in
terest of the country required that they should move
on harmoniously.
The Hanks had, therefore, to decide whether such a
state of things should bo continued by their unyield
ing determination to continue specie payments, and
thereby place it entirely out of their power to aid
or facilitate, in any manner, the operations of com
merce ; or by a suspension of specie payments, oome
to the relief of the country, and protect the people
from the tender mercies of the European manufac.
turers and consumers.
They have wisely in our opinion adopted the lat
ter policy. This decision of theirs should not in the
slightest degree impair the public confidence in
those institutions; bo far from it, the whole people
should promptly uuite to sustain them, and to aid
them in an early resumption of specie payments,
which may be returned to in a very few months un
de. the guidance of wise and prudent counsels.
Now, tho produce of the country can, aud will
move forward at relatively fair and remunerating
prices, compared with the European markets to
which it is ultimately destined, and thus while it will
give relief to the whole people, will place the Banks
of the South in a stronger and more prominent and
advantageous position than they have ever before
occupied ; and come out of the suspension greatly
strengthened—infiuitely stronger than they ever
were ; with the consolation of having rendered a
most important service to the people, in a most mo
mentous and trying crisis. Our leisure will not per
mit us to devote more attention to the subject to
day, nor is it necessary, as we shall probably have
occasion again to advort to and disouss it more
thoroughly.
In conclusion, it may not be improper to remark,
that it will probably require some days to adjust and
arrange things, under the inauguration of the new
system. Theu we anticipate that everything will
move on as smoothly and harmoniously as ever, and
till then, the people should exercise patience and
forbearance.
Tiie Chnricaton Hanks*
The Bank of Charleston has issued the following
bulletin:
Bank of Charleston. South Caroliua, 15 th Oc
tober, 1857.
This Bank will continue specie payment.
AU Bank Notes current in the city will be receiv
ed in payment and on deposit, by this bank: and j
depositors ere requested to draw their checks pays- !
ble in current funds.
Checks on New Y ork will be furnished at par for
bills of this Bank
Depositors may, at their option, receive Certifi
cates for Deposits now at their credit, bearing in
terest at the rate of seven per cent. per annum re
deemable in coin, at not less than three nor more
than six mouths.
For the protection of the public, this Bank will
receive Current Funds for the payment of debts j
due the Bans and for all Collection Paper received
from other Banks, and will furnish similar funds on
ly for payments to other Banks.
This represents practically and satisfactorily the
course and policy adopted by the Union Bank and
the State Bank of this city—these being the three
Banks that continue in the full exercise of their
function.— Charleston Courier.
This is miserable subterfuge, on the part of the
Bank of Charleston, to keep up the appearance of
specie payments. They suspend entirely and com
pletely on their depositors, who are probably their
largest creditors, while they continue to pay specie
to bill holdere. And this is attempted to be palmed
off on the country as no suspension of specie pay
ments. “ Vine la humbug.”
General Suspension in New York.
It will be seen by our Telegraphic Dispatch,
that the Banks of New Y'ork resolved, at a meet
ing on Wednesday night, to suspend yesterday,
(Thursday.) and we learn by private dispatches, j
tnat they all suspended in accordance with the reso- l
lution. The effect was an immediate advance of \
Sterling Exchange from 100 and less to fill. This ■
action of the Banks will put an immediate termina
tion to the panic, and give relief to the commercial
operations of the country. The news was received j
in this city late yesterday afternoon, with marked
evidences of gratification every man seemed to
breathe freer, and the countenances of ail wore a !
much more cheerful aspect.
What the action of our banks will be. we are not
informed, bnt we think it probable they will do j
likewise, and at once afford the means to move for
ward the produce of the country. Should they do
so. they can all resume specie payments at an
early day, certainly within four or foe months.
They are all strong and in sound condition, and
with the means which the cotton crop will p.ace at
their command, can take the lead in the work of
resumption -. and their energies and action should,
as we doubt not they will, be directed to the aocom !
p. sfcment of that result at the earlier- possible day j
Mere Suspensions.
It wili be seen by reference to our Telegraphic j
head, that all ihe Banks in Savanuxu, and two more
in Charleston, have suspended specie payments. ;
There are now oniy three Banka in Cnarleston that !
continue specie payments, viz : th- Bank of Charles- !
ton. Union Bank, and the State Bank.
Thi Trassl.—The Charlottesville Advocate |
states that in eonaequenoe of a mistake in engineer- j
ing, the Bine Ridge Tunnel is too email to admit !
the passage of a train of oars, and that it will pro- j
bably take from three to sightsee months to remedy j
th* defect.
C’onriifioo of the Banks es Haflth Carolina*
The Charleston Standard condenses from the
regular official monthly statement, (on the 30th Sep
tember,) of the Banks of South Carolina, the follow
ing important facta and figures. From this state
ment, we do not see how a general suspension in our
sister State is to be avoided —indeed it seems in
evitable. Possibly two or three of the Charleston
Banks may maintain specie payments, but we do
not think it probable, not possible, if the panic does
not abate :

Total $7,105,170 $999,399
By a comparison, says the Standard, of this
statement with that for the previous month, we find
a decrease in circulation of $520,707; andadecrease
in specie of $252,659 ; an increase in notes discount*
ed on personal security of $36,435 ; a [decrease in
Domestic Exchange of $269,892 ; and a decrease in
Foreign Exchange of $65,118. In the account be
tween the banks in this and those in other States,
we find a balance against our own of $727,207.
Gcorgin Wine*
We accepted the invitation, a day or two since,
of our esteemed friend, John L. Wynne, of Wilkes
oounty, to test some of his Still Catawba Wine, the
pure juice of the grape , of the vintage of 1856, and
we take pleasure in saying, much as we had heard
of the excellence of his wine, it far exceeded our
most sanguine expectation. It was indeed a most
excellent, in fact a very superior article; and in
this opinion we were sustained by gentlemen, in the
acuteness and accuracy of whose tastes, we have
more confidence than our own. We had an oppor
tunity of comparing it with a bottle of “ Longworth't
Still Catawba of the vintage of 1852, with which it
was pronounced fully equal, if not superior.
Those who desire to taste a good article, ( il thepure
juice of the grape,”) of Georgia made Wine, can
do so by calling at the store of Messrs. Lam back &
Cooper.
When does the legislature Meet ?
We are indebted to a correspondent for the fol
lowing reply to this enquiry, which may be new to
most readers. We had entirely forgotten, if we
ever knew, that the chaDge had been made :
October 16th, 1857.
Editor Chronicle 4’ Sentinel:—Dear Str : —I
have been asked frequently, of late, if the Legisla
ture meets on the Ist Monday or Ist Wednesday 4n
November. Some think (and men of intelligence
too,) that the act of the last Legislature changing
the time of meeting, was an act to alter the Consti
tution, and that it requires the concurrence of the
next Legislature to make it the law. But this is a
mistake. It was an act to amend a late , and not the
Constitution, and is therefore the law of the State.
As I have seen no notice of the change in any of
the papers, 1 thought it might be well for you to
notice it in your paper. Yours truly.
Money Matters in Baltimore.—The Baltimore
Patriot of Mouday afternoon has the following no
tice of financial affairs in that city:
We have but little news to notice in financial af
fairs to day. Our banks are doing all in their pow
er in the way of discounts, though great caution is
necessary to be observed. Under the present un
certain condition of alfairs, it is not well for mer
chants, or regular customers of these institutions,
to expect too much. A prudent system of retrench
ment should be strictly adhered to in all depart
ments. It is impossible*for our banks to go beyond
their means, or a wise policy looking to the future.
Too much done by them now might only serve to
complicate matters and involve greater distress and
difficulty hereafter. We record ttie fact with pride
and pleasure, and it speaks volumes in favor of
Baltimore, that no failures of note have yet taken
place. Our merchants and businessmen have Btood
up to the crisis nobly. Whilst bankraptcres have
been taking place in all the prominent cities of the
Union, we have none to record. This argues pru
dence and economy worthy of high commendation.
It epeaks favorably also for our banks, who, at the
moment of extreme pressure, when disastrous con
sequences were inevitable, came forward liberally
and gave the wonted relief. All things consid
ered, Baltimore has good cause to be proud of her
position.
The money mai ket here to-day exhibits no change
from Saturday. It is stringent. Quite a large
amount of good paper finds its way to the street,
which meets negotiation, only to a moderate ex
tent, at 14 to 2 per cent, a month. Second class
notes unsaleable. Money on call ‘Si 2 percent.
Gold sa) 6 per cent, premium. Exchange on the
North 6 per cent, premium. Virginia bank notes,
old, per cent, discount; new do 6 wlO per cent.
North Carolina 6to 10 percent, discount. Notes of
Western banks are almost unsaleable. Exchange
on England 5 to 8 per cent, in Baltimore funds.
Money Matters in Baltimore. —The Patriot
of Tuesday afternoon says:—ln our own city to-day
the money market is in a peculiarly unsettled condi
tion, and must remain so until something definite is
ascertained from New*York with reference to the
suspension there, whether it becomes general, or
what disposition is to 6e made of the concerns al
ready suspended. Our banks are discounting to a
very liberal extent. The belief is that ease will
eventually flow from the turn given to affairs in the
North. A large amount of good paper finds its way
to the street, some of which finds purchasers at 1$ 2>
2 to 24 per month ; 3econd class notes are unsalea
ble. Money on call Ifto 2 per cent. Gold is sell
ing at 7to 8 per cent premium. Exchange on the
North very much unsettled and ranges at 7-® 8 per
cent premium. Transactions exceedingly limited.
Exchange on London 6 to 9 per cent premium in
Baltimore funds. Virginia bank notes (old) 2$ to 3
per cent discount; new do. 6to 10 per cent. North
Carolina 7to 10 per cent discount. Notes of Wes
tern banks not saleable.
The stock market, to day is very much unsettled,
prices about as yesterday for Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Shaies.
City stock has slightly given way. Bank stocks
are also depressed and declining. All kinds of se
curities are drooping.
Suspension in Virginia.—The Eichmond Dis
patch of Thursday has the following notice of the
suspension of the Banks of Virginia :
The Suspension of the Banks of Virginia—How
ever much we may deplore the necessity of a sus
pension on the part of the banks of this city, we
cannot but congratulate the community on the de
termination to suspend specie payments for the pre
sent. There was wisdom in it; if has rest.red a
quit and a confidence among the commercial class
es, which are apparent at every turn. We congrat
ulate our banks upon taking this step, and we know
we but speak the sentiments of nine-tenths of the
community, when we say it was demanded by every
consideration of sound judgment and policy. Our
currency was deranged and unsettled, and a contin
uance of the rigid policy which the banks would
have been forced to pursue towards their dealers in
order to maintain specie payments, would, we be
lieve, have brought ahout the most disastrous con
sequences and would ultimatelv have recoiled with
telling effect on themselves. We would urge our
banks for a short time, to pursue a liberal Tine of
discount, and then commence a curtailment of say
5 or 10 per cent, on their outstanding debt, till they
shall be in a position to fall into line on the first inti
mation on the part of the Banks of other States that
they are ready to resume. We presume that no
sane man can doubt the solvency aud ability of our
Banks to pay, and we feel assured that they occupy
a position for soundness second to no BaiAs in the
Union.
The Pennsylvania Bank Relief Bill.— The
bill for the relief the banks passed by the Pennsyl
vania Legislature legalizes the present suspension
of specie payment, designates as the time of re
sumption the second Monday of April next, and in
subsequent eectione makes the following provisions:
Section 4. Authorizes the Collectors of Taxes and
Tolls, &c., and the County Treasurers, to receive
for State purposes the notes of solvent banks, though
not specie paying.
Section 9. Reserves the right of the Legislature
to alter, revoke or annul the charter of any bank ac
cepting the provisions of this act, whenever in their
opinion the same may prove injurious to the citi
zens of the Commonwealth.
Section 10. Prohibits Banks and Savings Institu
tions from purchasing the notes of other incorporated
Banks at less than par.
Section 11. Prohibits the sale of stocks, bonds,
Eromissory notes and other securities that have
een hypothecated from being sold for a period of
six months without the consent of the debtor being
first had.
The time fixed for the resumption is the Becond
Monday of April, the same as it pasßed the Senate
originally.
The Merchants of Augusta receive all bank
notes which were current previous to their sus
i pension, at par value, in payment of dues and for
merchkndise, and we would advise our readers in the
country against any sacrifice of such notes, which
the prevailing monetary panic, or the representa
tions of interested parties might indace them to
incur.
A Sad Tragedy. —A distressing murder and sui
cide occurred near Hamburg Sunday evening. Mr.
John Randall, after some persuasion, induced bis
wife to accompany him in a walk, and when but
a short distance from the house, violent screams
were heard. Upon hastening to the spot, both were
found with their throats cut. Mrs. Randall died
soon after, and Mr. Randall Monday morning.
The Suspension. —The Richmond Dnpatck of
Friday says The Bank of Virginia on yesterday
fell into line, which completes the list, and places
our State on a par withal! others. New York has
succumbed to the requirements of the times, and
i the last unbroken link was severed on our streets
I yesterday morning, in the announcement that New
| York and Virginia had, as it were, spontaneously
suspended. Its effects.are of the most gratifying
nature, for it has at once placed our stock in a posi
tion far beyond a point which we had (as compared
with other stocks, the right to expect. On Tuesday
: Virginia stock sold at 54j*56 in New York, and on
Wednesday, sales were made at SI, and on yester
; day at 84$.
New Style of Parisian Gloves.— A new style
of glove has been introduced in Paris, amoDg the
j beau monde. The Paris correspondent of the New
1 York Journal of Commerce thus describes them :
1 The kid glove is sewed with a contrasting color
; ed silk, ana the seams on the back of the hand are
I ornamented with a running wreath of embroidery
I of the silk, around the wrist the glove is gathered
j very slightly on an elastic, hidden by a wreath of
embroidery a very narrow frill of the kid conceals
’ the wrist.

Financial Developements of the New York

astounding disclosure that, within five or six years,
■ sum sos money, amounting to the stupendous
’ aggregate of eight or ten millions of dollars, have

Reduction in the Prick of Dry Goods. —The
New York Mirror, in a review of the present as
pects of affairs, closes an article with the following
remarks:
We find in dry goods the most astonishing decline
of prices. In cottons, linens, cloths, and silks, there
is a very sudden depreciation, so in made up gar
ments. Brussels carpets may be bought for six
shillings a yard, a circumstance never before known
in tliis country. Real estate is at a stand still, but jt
is sure to come up in the main, though it must fall in
particular localities. Rents of stores must go down.
We do not require marble palaces to buy or sell
goods in. Pretty places, indeed, says Fanny Fern
to keep old wooden boxes in. The $20,000 rents
will fall before a year to less than one half that sum,
and so they might, for there is nothing whatever to
justify such extravagance.
Provisioi s have not yet felt the change to much
extent. Flour is still retailed to families at from $9
to sli per barrel; bread is no cheaper, nor meats,
nor any thing that is very eatable. Certainly, the
pressure will be a Godsend to the city, if it will les
sen the price of food. Labor remains about sta
tionary, and it is one comfort to know that it will
shortly procure more for its earnings then it has
done/ The wages of servants are being everywhere
reduced, and it is supposed that many, for the sake
of respectable and comfortable homes during this
winter, will not ask lor any wages at all.
Such are some of the aspects of the hour which
suggest themselves to us, the result of a rapid glance
at the condition of our city.
Steerage Passengers. —The Savannah Morn
ing News says :—The Philadelphia and New-York
steamships which arrived yesterday, brought to our
city about three hundred steerage passengers, who
have left the North in consequence of the want of
employment, and sought our city to obtain a liveli
hood. We regret to see such large numbers of this
class of persons seeking our city in search of em
ployment. They generally come with little or no
uioney, and iu a few days are thrown upon the
charity of their friends or the public, for the com
raon necessities of life. Previous to the present in
flux of laborers, there were more here than could
find employment, and large numbers have been
wandering about our streets, able and willing to
work, but have failed to find situations. Many dis
appointed in the object of their visit here, have re
turned to the North, while others entirely destitute
still remain, finding it impossible to leave, and will
be thrown upon the charity of our citizens.
By a despatch from Portland, dated October 12th,
we have intelligence that Wm. Pitt Fessenden,
United States Senator from Maine, whose death
was announced yesterday, is alive and well. The
Hon. Wm. Pitt Preble, for whom he has been mis
taken, died at Portland on Saturday evening, at the
age of 74. He was a eon of Commodore Preble,
who commanded the fleet against Tripoli, during
Jefferson’s administration, a graduate of Harvard
College, and, for along period after the organization
of the Government of Maine, a Justice of the Superior
Court of that State, which office he ably filled. He
was, subsequently, United States Minister to Neth
erlands, and afterwards one of the Commissioners
of the State of Maine in the negotiation of the cele
brated “Boundary Treaty” with Great Britain.
Counterfeit on the Camden Bank.—The Fay
etteville (N. C.) Observer, says : A friend has ex
hibited to us two counterfeit SIOO notes on the Bank
of Camden, S. C., which were Bent here from Mont
gomery county, a few days ago, in satisfaction of a
judgment against a citizen of that county. They
are correctly described in a New York Counter
feit Detector, as having for vignettes, a beehive,
and an eagle on a shield, and a female with shield
on the lower right corner. The signatures are en
graved, not written. The paper of one is greasy*
the other white.
From Havana. —Weco,.y the following items of
interest from the Havana correspondence of the
Charleston Courier :
Havana, October 10.
One of the mest audacious attempts at smuggling
that has ever come to my knowledge, was made in
this city two or three days since. Round “slivers”
of wood, put up neatly in bundles, as if intended
to be converted into matches, were packed in caseß
and entered at the Custom House for home coa
sumptiou at a merely nominal value. One of the
cases being opened, the extraordinary neatness with
which these “slivers” were put up excited suspicion,
and it wat determined to empty the cases, in seve
ral of which, carefully packed beneat h the bandies
of wood, were found large quantities of those toys
called, I believe, “saloon pistols.” They, with the
contents of all the cases, were in consequence de
clared “forfeited to the Crown,” and I suppose will
soon be sold at public auction.
I heard last evening from the Captain of a New
York packet ship, now nearly ready for sea, that he
had but two boys of all his crew on board—the others
being in the hospital from the fever, and he also
told me, that of all the American vessels in this
port, tbe largest portion, indeed nearly all were in
a similar position.
lam sorry to be compelled to odd Ibat yellow
fever has again broken out with redoubled violence
within the las*. 48 hours. There were more than
seven deaths in the hospital St. Juan de Dios day
before yesterday.
A Large Fortune —J. H. Schroeder, the wine
and liquor merchant of Louisville, says the Courier,
is one of the heirs to a fortune of 62,000,000 guilders,
in the city of Amsterdam. This sum has been ac
cumulating ever since 1780, at compound interest,
and has, of course, nearly twico doubled itself. The
heirs-at law have, in the meantime, increased even
in a greater ratio, the number at present having
reached one hundred and twenty. A guilder is
worth something less than fifty cents, and aDy one
good at cyphering will see at odcc that Col. Bchroe
der’s share is about half a million.
Death of the “Child oe Mount Vernon.”—
Geo. Washington PaikeCustiß, the grand son of
the wife of Gen. George Washington, and the last
survivor of the family circle of Mount Vernon, died
at his residence, at Arlington, Alexandria county,
says the Alexandria Sentinel, ou Saturday morniDg,
at 10 o’clock.
An Absconding Deputy Sheriff.—The Louis
ville Journal of the 24th ult., says: “We understand
that Jonathan D. S. Peacock, the deputy sheriff of
Bullitt county, left several weeks since, for parts
unknown. He had in his possession a large sum of
public moneys. We suppose that neither the State
nor county will suffer any loss. The securities of
the absconding sheriff are responsible for his defalca
tion.”
The Recent Pittsburg Murder. —The three
young men, named James Kelly, John Richards,
and Daniel Denny, who were arrested on suspicion
of murdering Henry Wiseman, near Pittsburg,
while defending his daughter from an attempt by
them to commit a rape upon her, have all been com
mitted to jail for trial. Their own statement and
the evidence leave uo doubt of their guilt. There
are now thirteen persons in prison at Pittsburg
awaiting their trial for murder—more than double
the number that have been at any one time witbin
the past three years held eharged with the same
crime in the city of Baltimore.
The War in Yucatan. —At date of last advices
received at Vera Crnz, there was very little pros
pect of a speedy termination of the difficulties in
the Mexican peninsula. Wearied out by the “mas
terly inactivity’’ of the Government party, the Cam
pechanos had organized a force of 1500 men which,
with efficient artillery, was about takiDg the field
against them.
New Port Opened on thePacieio. —The Mexi
can Government has, by special decree, opened the
port of San Angel, on the coast of the State of
Oajaca, to the coasting trade. This is all very well,
but it will be of little avail to open a port to trade
unless it is kept open and protected.
Unnecessary Grumbling.— A Southern journal,
commenting upon a class who have plenty to eat,
drink, and wear, and no liabilities in any way em
barrassing, who yet croak in the most forlorn man
ner, and sigh plaintively for better times, tells the
following apposite anecdote:
“Tracy's slave ‘Pomp,’ in this town, many years
ago, not oontent to draw wine from bis master’s
pipe by the usual way, took the head out of the
cask, and as he stood dipping up the sparkling bev
erage and drinking from a silver goblet, gave the
sentiment, ‘here is to better times.’ His master
happening in at that moment, struck him on the
side oi the head, felling him to the floor, saying—
‘Yon black rascal yon, I will teach you that times
are good enough when you can drink the best of
wine from silver cups, without wishing for better.’ ’’

No Extra Session.— The Banks of New York
have concluded they can get along without the in
tervention of the Legislature. The Committee of
New York merchants, bankers, and others that visi
ted Albany to have a talk with Gov King about the
financial crisis and the propriety of calling an extra
session of the Legislature, telegraphed him during
Thursday after reading the fiat of the Judges of the
Supreme Court that the extra session would be un
neeeaeary in (be present aepeet of affairs .
The Run on the New York Banks.
The New York Courier Enquirer, of Wedtfes
day morning, contains the following a < pun’ ot liie
run upon the Hanks of that city, the day previous:
The Run on and the Suspension of tjif. New
York Banks.—The Banks of the City of New York
by their officers assembled at the Clearing
last night, resolved to suspend bpe< ie payment* this
morning, and appointed a Committee to proceed to
Albany and request the Governor toconvun** the
Legislature to consider the necessity of euactiu”
some law to give relief in the present financial
emergency. lhey also resolved to make the most
energetic exertions for tho resumption of
payments at an early day, and recommended tliat
uodividends be made to star-kholders until such re
sumption. The cause of this action ou ihopjirt of
the Banks, was a severe run upon them, which coin
mtneedyesterday morning and continued through
out the day, compelling, during its prog re , ma/y ■
of their number to succumb to its pressure, and
placing before tho remainder the certainty of the
same fate, in the certain renewal of a rnu snli moie
severe to-day, iu case they opeuefi the doors to ad
mit it. Never, indeed, iu the financial history of
New York, was there a more trying am! excitin';
time than yesterday. For weeks the merchants or
New York had fallen in numbers, like ?o many
rifices, in the threshold of the Banks, beyond whose
iron doors came no response to their appeals; yes
terday a multitude, like a destroying army, • 4 -nin
down on the Banks themselves, and sacrificed them
in turn withou the doors which they have endeuv- |
ored to bar so strongly. llow far the latter was the j
legitimate result of the former, how far it was in |
actual revenge of the former, we leave for th
reader to determine for himself with the antecedent*
of the run of yesterday before him. We m-ed noi
describe this run in its outward fcaturas, each on*
sees the picture though he may not hare been in
Wall street or in the neighborhood of the np-tpwn
banks—a street crowded with two distinct desses,
the one thirsting for gold crowding in hundreds tho
doors of the tanka, and forming long lines iht
steps aud through tho halls, wit.i anxious faces, and
hands nervously clutched over their checks atM* !
drafts, crowding and jostling, and tue other, the look
ers ou, crowding the side walks, joking aad won -
dering how long the Banka would staud the run
such was the picture. Between the distresses 1
of the merchants who have been called upon to pay 1
when they had nothing to pay with , aud the almost
total destruction of confidence among the poorer
classes of the people, there were chaos and confusion
throughout the city. Early in the day there was a
simultaneous run upon the several banks of the
city. we believe without a single exception.
The Bank of New York, the oldest 111 New Yoik,
one always liberal to its customers, and especially st
during the late contraction, payed out its specie
manfully until about 1 o'clock when it ceased attd \
payed nothing but bauk notes aud certified checks
for the rest of the day. The Leather Manufacturers’
Bank payed out also until about mm, when it also ,
stopped, although ninety thousand dollars in specie 1
were due it on its exchange account in the Clearing
House, but which could not be obtained. And so 1
the run progressed ; one after another of the Banks 1
ceasing to pay specie, and paying bank notes instead
of closing their doors entirely. The following is the [
list of the Banks suspended yesterday. There were !
reports of others, but this we believe comp the. all ,

Many of the banks that maintained themselves j
kept open their doors until late iu the fifteruoo’i, so
as to give all a chance to get their specie. Among
these were the B ink of America, the Bank *>f Com
merce, and the Bunk of the Common wealth. The
Bank of America paid out some $150,000 in specie,
the Bank of North America $85,000, the Bank of the
Commonwealth $90,000, and the payment of specie
in all was about in this proportion of their relative
strength.
The insolvency of the Marine Bank, we me in- j
formed, was aveited by a coup dt’ main of their j
friends, some of whom obtained a writ of injunction I
upon their proceedings. This willcome on for trial ‘
in its regular course, without any suspension of vi- 1
tality, or of its charter; and when at the end of the
trial the bank shows its own strength, it may re- 1
sumo business without forfeiture.
The run upon the bank was at first merely by a ,
few bill holders ; and if they had been satisfied tlr-re ,
would have been no serious tun. 011 Saturday, for
instance, the Directors of the East River Bank met ‘
as usual for discounting, and there was uo serious
run upon it until the middle of the day. The Bank
wanted twenty thousand dollars only, in coin, to
sustain themselves; and, in this emergency, applied
to several large banks down town for assistance - -i
These latter instead of making a common cause with ‘
the weaker ones, seem determined to bleak the lat J
ter in order that they may retain their own prelum :
ed strength The East River Bank and the Bowery )
Bank should both have been aided by the stronger j
banks, as a matter of public interest. for it cannot
beds nied that each failure precipitates that of otji- i
ers by occasioning a loss of confidence.
On Monday the approaches lose vet al bank? rtVro !
filled with eager depositors and bill holders, and the !
Grocers’ Bank exhausted its specie funds and soon I
closed its doors. This, too, was unnecessary, i. the :
other banks had rendered assistance and thereby
quieted the excitement. 111 a matter of this kind, if 1
general distrust, and dread, the banks of the* city !
should have made common cause, and sustained j
each other; but by allowing one or two to fail, j
they created distrust of all. Even had this court c !
been persued, and the whole body of banka stood j
together aud made a common fund of their specie,
we question whether they could have sustained the
persistent run. Before yesterday the demands were
mainly confined to bill holders . but yesterday morn
ing the depositors seemed disposed to move in a
body and clai •• their funds.
There is uo difficulty iu tracing these deplorable
results immediately to the vacillating course of the
Banks (with some few honorable and praiseworthy
exception >), and iudirectly to a combination of un- 1
favorable foreign trade and of unsound ban king. ]
We pointed out, two or three weeks ago, the then j
prevailing causes of discontent among our mer
chants, who were then suffering as well as now,
from an injudicious curtailment ot loans —the want
of harmony aud consistency in the movements of
the Banks, and the necessity existing for a reasona
ble expansion of Bank loans to those having pay
ments to make.
At a meeting of Banks a few days afterwards,
all these things were conceded : and nome a.-*; u ranee
was given that an increase of loans equivalent to
five per cent, would promptly take place. The mere,
promise of this extension gave great relief the next
day : and had it been executed in good faith by
every Bank in the city, we believe that one-haif *t
the subsequent suspensions among our merchants
would have been averted, as well as all the Hank
failures in New York and out of it.
We speak the sentiments of the whole commercial
community , when we use this language : and we re
peat what we have frequently said iD these columns
within the past three weeks, that the Banks unues
sarily sacrificed the merchants; and in doing this,
they not only weakened themselves but gradually
exasperated the merchants as a body. This view of
the case has been taken by several of our leading
bank officers, who have strenuously urged a more
liberal course, provided it vre adopted by all. but
could not adopt this course without general aaseut.
In fact a proposition was submitted by Mr Wither.:,
of the Bank of the State of New York, to the effect
that tlie Banks should enlarge five per cent.—but
this was negatived.
The prevalont opinion yesterday was that, a few
of the old strong Bank” combined together to force
the majority into liquidation, and thus confine the
business to a limited number. In doing this, the
smaller Banks were compelled to curtail their ■ pei
ations, and iu the genera) restriction, many ol our
most wealthy, honoiable, and useful firms have
been sacrificed. We speak within bounds when we
say that this course has driven fifty thousand men
and women out of our workshops into idleness and
poverty.
The following are the resolution* ailuded to in the
commencement of this articte, and they form the
conclusion of yesterday’s eventful histoiy:
A meeting of the Associated City Bank” was held
on Tuesday evening, Oct. 13th, ~t which a huge
majority of the Banks waß represented.
On motion of Mr. Knapp, seconded by Mr. Dur
ham, the following preamble and resolution were
adopted:
Whereas . In view of the excitement prevailing
in this community, and the fact of the actual sn
pension of a number of Banks in this city,
Resolved , That it ie expedient that the Bantu of
this city suspendfspecie payment to morrow.
On motion of Mr. Leveredge,
Resolved, That a committee of three he appoint
ed to proceed to Albany, aud request the Governor
to oonvene the Legislature, to consider the necessity
of enacting some law to give relief in the present
financial emergency.
Messrs. Tileston, Durham and Knapp were con
stituted such committee.
On motion ot Mr. Gallatin,
Resolved, That tbe most, energetic exertions shall
be made for an early resumption of specie pay
ments ; aud that it be recommended to rite Banks
to make uo dividends to their stockholders, until
the resumption of specie payments.
On motion,
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting
be published in the morningoapers.

The Efl'ect in New York.
The New York Journal of Commert <*, of Wed
nesday afternoon, says .
The banks of this city, with one or two exceptions,
opened for business as usual, receiving bsnk notes ;
and certified checks on deposit, and in payrnenl,
andjpaying in the same, the oniy difference being
that specie was not ia-ued. There was no excit*
ment at any of the banks of discount, as far a wo I
could ascertain, and no demand for specie either ]
from bill holders or depositors. A dispatch was re
ceived from|Hoston fariDouncing the suspension ot .
specie payments by the banks in that city, and this i
may now be considered universal tnroug out the ;
United States, as we suppose the example will be j
everywhere followed.
The American Exchange and Metropolitan Banks
have promptly adopted a system which will afford [
immediate reliet to the community They have
opened an uncurrent department, in a measure in
dependent of their regular banking department,
where they will receive the bills of all free banks in
this State (the same being fully secured by a deposit
with the controller) and of anon Safety Fund bank.:
as they may designate, crediting tbe amount at once
to the depositor, and allowing him to draw against
it, payable in the same currency. This varies from
the former uncurrent money system in the folio a u g
important particulars: Under tbe old system,
these bills were received on deposit, paid on the
next day in specie or its equivalent, tnd tent for i e
demption. Now they will be kept here and paid
out again, relieving the country banks at once, and
enabling them to expand with only such liro tation
as a deposit of securities with the controller may
prescribe.
The immediate effect of the suspension has been
an instantaneous inflation of prices, a change to be
expected, after the depression which had been caus
ed by an adherence to a specie basin, Ine improve
ment was, of course, quite visible at the Sloth Ex
change, where the gain aveiaged about 2 per cent.,
but was greater in some particulars.
We clip from the Commercial Advertiser the so
lowing items.
The banks have made every effort to sustain
themselves, and the error has been, if any, in uiak
ing all things bend to this single point, regardless as
to how measures might bear upon the community at
large, provided the banks themselves should pass
safely through the storm. Within nine weeks they
had contracted their accommodations more than ;
twenty millions, or about one-sixth of ti.e whole I
amount out at the commencement of the pressure,
and 0d Saturday last, according to the statement 1
then made, they had three dollars in specie in their
vaults for every two dollars of circulating notes 1
out
This was a strong position, but had the bp.nk
been doubly as strong, they had uo chance whatever
of withstanding such a panic spirit as was msnifepl
ed yesterday. It was merely a question of tune,but
a forced submission was certain in the end. In
twenty-five years experience in the street, we have
seen nothing to compare with yesterday. DuiiLg
that time we have seen runs upon particular banks,
but then the excitement was merely local. Yester-
day it was universal, and the same scene was being
enacted in every bsnk the whole length of Wall
street, and indeed thro ighout the city Each coun
ting room was filled with its anxious crowd pressing
up to tbe fir i teller s wicket, while thousands ot
spectators were assembled outside the biddings,
so as to render locomotion a work of no rmaJ difii-
Uwrs tb 1 concentration of the panic yesterday
that forced the suspension, hut tbe run has never
thelese been going on for Borne time. Slowly at first,
but increasing as it went on The average of specie
reported last week was about eleven and a half inn
lions, but the actual amount on hand on Saturday
laat was probably not more than teD millions. Yes
terday afternoon, from a ooont made, the estimate
was five and a half millions on hand. This shows
the Severity of tbe run. In two days four and a half
minions were absorbed. The Tribune employed M
