City Intelligence. MONETARY PANIC-RUN ON THE SAVINGS BANKS.-The present depressed state of business, with the recent failures in the commercial circles, has created quite a panic among that portion of the community who have investments in savings banks. Because some of the larger banks have stopped payment, it is believed that none are safe, and as a consequence the run has commenced on the institutions referred to. Large amounts have already been withdrawn, but in no one instance that we have heard of have the apprehensions of the depositors been realized by the refusal or inability of the banks to pay on demand. There is at present no cause for fear in regard to the savings institutions, and those who have entrusted them with their money may feel perfecMy safe as to its security. We make this remark particularly in regard to the Chambers street, the Bowery, and the Seaman's Banks, and judging from present appearances, there is no reason to apprehend a failure in any of these institutions. FIRE IN WARREN STREET.-Last evening about eight o'clock a fire broke out amongst the hay recently on fire at No. 117 Warren street. The greater portion of the hay had been thrown out, and the balance still remaining in the third loft, burst out again on fire, supposed to be caused by some sparks remaining from the old fire on Friday night. No damage.
