The failure of the banking firm to which [, Mr. Fauntleroy belonged with the details! of his conduct, have created an extraor-j i dinarv panic throughout England, the na ture amj cbneeqr.enc.es of which are sta- j fed in an interesting manner in the fol- j 100 ing article of-Ball’s Weekly Messen- . ger. v ' j We scarcely remember a perjod when • c event so intrinsioallv unimportant as the 1 ba'A rooti’v of a single bouse, and that house ' o' I'(tie note produced so much general i alarm, and so verv materially affected the 1 stafe.-m public. ere lit. Perhaps the amount i of husinec.s of the Berners stre< t Rank 'bd not exceed a five hundredth part of the bank-,! ing business in London ; t' eir dealers were) for the most part tradsmeu with them-j* sebes, added to a few builders and specula ■ tors in the sanie district. c | u Now, the failure of this firm has been.i ( manifestly owing to the extent of their soec-ji :nl itious with the latter description of these', 'customers ; and lies been protracted from'] vear to vearh- the transactions of the mi- i happy eriminal. w’-ase s'long attachment toy ♦he “house ,md firm,” anpears to have ted i him into 1 1 most oiliable condition. What t Hheref.ire is there in such a failure and from | • ueh can«‘'s, which should extend the appre hension hew d i s own immediate, occasion, t and should lead to a distrust in other Bart-!i k n rs ? Vet so the matter is. A most un-'jl reason hie aonreher-aion appears to prevail, ,i land unless thlstiptmic, this folly ffor so*"we jmust pall it a**qh now'exis's,' steps, it will ■' .seriously affect the conveniences of trade, ’< land put an end whilst if continues, to all > 1 discount; for how can a«v Rank venture to! idiscount even the best bifs whilst the ap- i i prehension of a run upon it renders it a mat- I j icr of necessity to keep all its cash ? , “ This is, indeed, one great mi chief of 1 the present state of tilings, ft rat only endangers the best conditioned and most 'solvent banks, whose assets are abundantly I ; sufficient, though perhaps not immediately I convertible but likewise the solvency of in numerable tradesmen, whose dailv and 1 weekly occasions require die discount of then hills. We remember, indeed, only onencr'iod like'lt, and this was the time .which just preceded the suspension ofnay meuts he th Hank >f England. At that lind, tl" Ban! . under the circumstancesi if a mu, v e,. c compelled to th... v back all j the. best is to sa to discontinue it s discounts.-—The consequences were tre mendous, so much so, as to compel (he Go vc iment of the country co adopt the two ■ memorable evens of that period, the sus f pension of cash p. ments, and a public loan t > the. merchants upon the value of their 1 stocks. One circumstance we have beard : • upon unquestioned authority and we there i fore fully belie e it. A house, of great red it at. that time, and still existing hi the -■same r still greater repute, had been in| 1 the habit of rereiv rig discounts to the a ■. mount of fifty or Gvty thousand pounds. — The Bank, in one of the weeks of this pe el riod, threw out its bills, and thus suddenly ['[Stopped the customary s q.ply.— The manag i‘ing partner requested a . orview with the i>: directors, and informed them, that this dis , continuance of the usual discounts tVould . compel the house to stop pawn -nit, and fie n believed there were some gentlemen there, ci who need not be informed how f•: and wid" d [the lass would exmnd. The inti motion had .( its due effect, and the hills w re dGcount ejed. The consequence was, the- preserva o lion of one of the greatest mercantile firms i. in the City of London—the firm being, a> » u[the e wed, unquestioned ■ solve:.! bm -jreqttirinjpts rtgu . r supply <d the usroma 1 1 ry aid* “ Our purpose, in the above observations f is, to give bur sincere anil strenuous advice s most intelligent portion of our I * I ciijn trade, not to contribute to *nU on and mischievous misgiving o'. - xhe ci'flr. ot Hanking Firms unquestionably t solid.<«a solvent, and thus not to bring on k the evil, which they now needlessly dread. 6 I! discounts are slopped, the ruin will be - vvnle, and the circle of distress will be most - mischievously enlarged. Half the building ■ speculation around the metropolis, will p cease & every, trade will feel the dilFerence. - •“ i'he appisthcnsiou, moreover, is as uu-t . reasonable as it is mischievous, for the con* ' i jdition ol the Berners ■■ cruet House was s,ng 11alar and peculiar, and there is notlm g ! '! the circumstance ot its failure which just ••lies a distrust in any other firm. It appeals II to have boen a needy concern from the verv '[beginning, nod never to Iflfee-possessed a .V ■ general repute. Hearly", -.irs gi the (Hank of England rejected its a ceptances i that is to say, considered it as x tailing and i {bankrupt concern, without adequate funds, and speculating beyond ips nqjjms. ) “As regards p« Vic! mils, vho ■rant the means ot jpeflay depositing tiu‘ ! c i iinoney for short pedals, it has often st, ■ck us, that Government might afford tj i t v «t-; nutans by isstyngj'bills for 100/' atone or ( ,p c a> I a half pJTOhft; We have no doubt but that a vast <pjantity'o r ihese Exchequer Bill- I would be ipunedlately taken up, as they I would cv cily suit the private occasions o* many clas*'* of people.
