Several articles discuss other banks' suspensions/failures (including the Bowery Bank), but the Bowery Savings Bank did not suspend and remained solvent.

A number of the la gest depositors expressed them selves as perfectly willing to allow their deposits to remain Towards evening the panio had some-hai subsided. and a large number of those who had come to draw their funds, deperted well satisfied with their security.

Is some of the banks the deposits have been greater than the withdrawals. RUN ON THE BOWERY SAVINGS BANK. Owing to the failure of the Bowery Bank and the simi lariy of names between that and the Bowery Savingu Bank, there was quite a run on the latter institution on Saturday. The bank, however, paid out the gold with a promptness and expodition which soon restored confidence the withdrawals were mainly by small depositors. The large depositors are generally more calculating, and hav. ing perfect confidence in the solvency of the institution, will not undergo Ices of interest, as they would necessa rily do by a withdrawal. The savings banks of the city are deemed impregnable, and by a recent State law being planed under the superintendence of the State Ba: king Department, have the confiderce of all their depositors. One of our savings basks has, we understand, forward. ed to Washington or redemption five hundred thousand dollars worth of United states stocks, and will receive the coin in return. At the rate which the government bas decided to allow for these B'ocks the bank will receive a consicerable advance on heir original cost, and after stocking their vanite with specie until the orisis is passed, can re-leves judiciously in St.to stocks. It is well known that the Bower, Savinge Bank, a few days since, obtained one bondred thousand dollars in specie in this way, and were thes p epared to meet the run. All these (ac.s must tend to increase public confidence in the savings banks FAILURES OF BANKS AND INDIVIDUALS.

Monetary. NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-To-day has been the bluest one yet in our market. The Illinois Central and the Erie R. R. have each made an as. signment. A run on the Bowery Savings Bank continued throughout the day, and it is believed the bank is amply able to meet all its liabilities. The run on the Brooklyn Savings Bank had somewhat subsided at noon, but up to that hour over $90,000 had been drawn out. Seymour & Co., paper dealers, have failed, and John N. Genin, the well known hatter, and Fen. ton & Lee have suspended. The announcement of Wm. R. Cary & Co.'s suspension was incorrect, as there is no firm of that name now, and their successors, Cary & Sanger, have not suspended. Railroad stocks went down still lower. Illinois Central bonds have fallen off $15 since yesterday and the shares $5. The Park Bank went through the run yesterday nobly, and came out to-day stronger in specie than before. There was a large business in State stocks, mostly lower prices. Bank stocks sold at a slight decline. There were rumors this afternoon affecting the credit of some of the heaviest houses in the city. H. A. Colt, whose failure is announced today, is the agent of Drake & Co., of Havana. The Bowery Bank goes into liquidation. Stocks at the second board "were dull. Missouri 74 1-8, Virginia 70, Canton Co. 18, Erie R.

Reports were current this afternoon, that the bills of the suspended Bowery Bank had been refused by the other banks, in consequence of the depreciation of the securities pledged for the redemption of the bills, but like a thousand other plausible rumors, this had no foundation whatever. Rumors were also current affecting one or two other banks but they are destitute of any foundation. There is a growing feeling here amongst all classes of business men, that the banks must extend their lines of discount, or that they and a large proportion of their patrons must inevitably suspend payment.

NEEDLESS ALARM-STRENGTH OF THE INSTITUTIONS. We published in the HERALD of last Saturday a carefully compiled report of the assets and liabilities of the principal savings banks in this city. From that report it is evident these institutions are sound, beyond suspicion, and that those who have placed their money for safe keeping in them need not be under the slightest apprehension of the entire security. The trustees of savings banks do not dabble in fancy stocks. Whatever money they invest is loaned on,morigage of real estate worth Twice the amount, and in this way their depositors are fully protected against any failure. A run on these institutions is so much loss of time and money to those who unnecessarily allow their judgments to be led astray by false and flying rumors; and the many chances of having their deposites stolen should influence many of those who withdraw their money to think before they not NO foolishly. Yesterday there was a continuation of the run, which began on Saturday, on the Bowery bank, but that such was (entirely mistaken may be seen from the account subjoined by our reporter. RUN ON THE BOWERT SAVINGS BANK. At an early hour yesterday morning the steps leading to the Bowery Savings Bank were filled with a promiscuous crowd of men and women waiting for the bank [doors to be opened. As the usual bank hour approached-10 o'clock-the crowd grew larger and larger, and M punctual as the clock struck, the doors were thrown open for the ingress of depositors. Every arrangement was made inside to nocommodate the large number of customers, additional clerks being employed to write up the books and pay out the money. One by one the clal mants had the gold, to the amount of their respective deposits, handed to them, and they departed, most of them with reflections on the unwise policy which distated their movement. There could not have been less than from two to three hundred isside at a time, mostly females, and during the entire day the nimons good order and jocularity were observed. One lady, with a baby in her arms, addressing one of the trustees, said I " And please, sir, am I wall until all that's here are served; and with this poor baby, too?" " No." replied the genieman, " you are one of the prtvileged; come here, and you will be paid right off." At this, several of the sex seemed to have regretted leaving their little responsibilities behind, and the good humored trustee was considerably talked to for his gailantry. As the parties left the bank, they were questioned by outsiders If they had got paid, and the reply in the affirmative seemed to give confidence, and leave the creakers and illomened bipeds who lottered on the side walks, nothing to say. One young man, who had come to see how things stood, addressing our reporter said "Bir, I have $5,000 in that bank, and consider 18 safer than If I had 11 in my own safe. I will give to any one 99 cents for every dollar they have inside that institution." His offer was not taken, and while the crowd gased, talked and lottered we could see the alarm which moved them was entirely groundless. Many of them supposed the Bowery Bank was the Bowery Savings Bank, altogether two entirely distinct establishments. More heard that the savings institution had very large deposits at the former, and in its failure predicated that of the latter. According to the report published in the HERALD, the Savings Bank had only $85,000 deposited in the Bowery Bank on

confederates a chance to refund the money. James McCoy, indicted for attempting to break into the store of Roes & Ballard, Chambers street, on the 23d of September, was convicted of an attempt to commit larceny, and renanded for sentence. We have news from the city of Mexioo to the 4th and Vera Cruz to the 7th inst. The Mexican Congress had held a preliminary meeting and chosen Manuel Ruiz President. The insurgents at the South continued to hold out against the government forces, and it was reported that Alvarez had been assassi` nated. The town was rife with rumors of commercial failures yesterday, most of which were entirely without foundation. The Grocers' Bank, however, stopped payment, and there was somewhat of a run on one or two of the savings institutions, among them the Bowery Savings Bank. The depositors received their funds as fast as they could be counted out. This bank yesterday received $607,000 from the Secretary of the Treasury for redeemed government securities, and may therefore be regarded as impregnable. The Pennsylvania House of Representatives yesterday, by a vote of thirty-four to fifty-six, defeated the Senate bill legalizing the suspension of specie payments by the banks. We are happy to learn that the statement that Messrs. A. T. Stewart & Co. had discharged a number of hands was unfounded. Doubtless their employés will be equally satisfied to learn that they have no intention of discharging any of them. The following are the movements of produce for the twenty-four hours ending at noon yesterday:-

# THE SAVINGS BANKS. THE CITY SAVINGS BANKS desire all to withdraw their deposits at once who intend doing so. They are prepared to meet all demands in specie, and do not choose to be subject to the annoyance of every scared man, woman and child in the community. The deposits in the Banks are perfectly safe, and much more so than in the trunks, pockets and stockings of the depositors. The idea of a run on a Savings Bank is ridiculous in the extreme. They are well known to be conducted on a principle entirely different from that of Banks generally; every dollar deposited in them is judiciously and safely invested, and any attempt to break or even weaken them by a run is the hight of folly. Nothing but a universal deluge or a general conflagration can break such institutions. THE BOWERY SAVINGS BANK made about $5,000 on Monday in the saving of interest, and the depositors who withdrew their money lost the same amount, which of course goes to the Bank and those who show confidence in its capacity. To show what the strength of this Bank is, we quote the following semi-official statement: Number of depositors, about 50,000. Amount of deposits nearly$4,700,000 Cash on hand.1,000,006 New-York State and City Bonds...2,000,000 Bonds and Mortgages on property in the city, worth double the amount loaned3,000,000 Call Loans, on good security285,000 Surplus beyond indebtedness....500,000 The number of Trustees is forty-one, men of integrity and wealth, and, by a rule of the bank, unable either to borrow or lend to the bank, and who receive no compensation for their services. Those who withdrew were mostly new depositors, and the bank will refuse to open accounts with them again. The amount withdrawn on Friday was....$00,000 Bank open from 10 a. m. to 2 p. m. The amount withdrawn on Saturday....177,000 Open from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m. The amount withdrawn on Monday (yesterday).. 160,000 Open from 10 a. m. to 7 p. m. The bank had one million dollars in gold yesterday morning, out of which to pay any frightened deposi-tors that there may still be. Still the rush was resumed, but not to such an extent as on Monday. However, there was quite a number on hand, all of whom were drawing their funds as fast as it could be passed out. The bank has four clerks attending to the depositors, two for the women and two for the men. A force of ten men from the Fourteenth Precinct Police are stationed at the doors. The women are passed in at the southern door, and the men at the upper entrance. The result of the run for two days sums up as follows: Paid yesterday.$189,303 49 Paid to-day.81,997 48 less than half the amount of the previous day. The run is evidently on the decrease, and depositors are getting satisfied that their money can be safe in no place if it cannot be in this institution. BROOKLYN SAVINGS BANKS. The run on the Brooklyn Savings Banks has nearly entirely ceased, and many who drew out their money on Saturday last came back to deposit it yesterday. A man from the country, who has $3,000 deposited, came to draw it, but being informed that the bank

TUESDAY, Oct. The storm has broken at last, and eighteen of the City Banks have been obAged to secomb to the pressure for Thisevent although most of the bank officers have expressed great confidence in their ability to withstand the storm. There has been for some time past & persistent drain of Gold by the withdrawal of deposits, and this has been more rapid and exhaustive within the 1sst day or two. The Bank Statement, published this morning, w&s not satisfactory, and, with the failure of the East River and Bowery Banks, produced a severe run upon the up-town Banks, which soon extended to the Wall street Banks. Some of the np-town banks yielded to the pressure at once and closed their doors, while the down-town institutions held out, with two or three exceptions, until the stroke of three relieved them from the crowds which besieged their doors. The exceptions were the Leather Manufacturers' and New York, which refused coin but continued to certify checks, and the St. Nicholas, which closed about 1 o'clock. The New-York is one of the oldest, if not the oldest bank, in the city, and the news of its stoppage was received at first with entire incredulity. The bank has, under legal advice, arranged to go on with its business to morrow as usual. Some of the banks which are reported to have sustained specie payments, resorted to various subterfuges to sustain themselves, which might be called by & harsher name. In the hight of the run, between 2 and 3 o'clock, Wall street certainly presented the most excited appearance that has ever been exhibited there. The walks, door-ways and windows, were crowded with an eager throng, mostly, however, attracted by curiosity. The bank rooms were full of anxious dealers, standing in long lines, awaiting their turn to reach the paying-teller's wicket, and to draw the gold for bills or checks. Exaggerated rumors flew through the crowd which surged up and down the street, or were perched upon the stoops of the various buildings overlooking the scene. The result of the run is fully told on another page of this sheet: the suspension of eighteen banks, followed by & consultation of those remaining standing, although not unshaken, whether to suspend or go on to-morrow. At the moment of writing, & meeting of the Banks is in session at the Clearing House, and we hope to be able, before we go to press, to obtain the result. The interest of the street was 80 entirely absorbed in the bank panic, that mercantile failures attracted but little attention, although the number of protests and extensions must have been very large, yet very few names have been mentioned. The Stock Board, also, was & matter of secondary interest. The transactions were quite moderate and mostly for cash. After the Second Board, when the impression prevailed that all the city banks would suspend, the market for the leading fancies was buoyant. Central advanced to 59, having opened at 521, and Reading went to 33, having opened at 29. At the close the former was 58 and the latter 321. The market in the morning was generally lower, but the decline was not material. Orders for 700 shares of Rock Island, on buyer sixty at 60@62, the cash price being 551 @56. Only 10 shares of Erie were sold. Delaware declined to 75 and Cumberland to 51. Toledo sold at 201, a decline of 11 P cent, and Hudson River at 10. Panama sold at 60 in the morning and jumped to 65 in the afternoon. In Bank Stocks the sales were moderate and show but little change from yesterday. Bank of Commerce sold at 70, Metropolitan 57, American Exchange 541, Commonwealth 60, &c. The sales of State Stocks con. tinue to be large, amounting to-day to over $130,000. The market shows'a smalldecline, excepting in Missouri 6's, which are better. In Railroad Bonds the market is dull and irregular. Illinois Central and Erie 1871 are better, while Erie 2d mortgage are lower. The impression at the close was, that if all the Banks suspended there would be & temporary advance in the whole list of stocks. There has been a moderate amount of business doing for the Wednesday steamer in Exchange at about previous rates. But few Sterltng bills have sold above par, but 102 is asked by some leading drawers. The supply of bills is large, and the disturbed state of financial affairs prevents important transactions. Buyers feel too uncertain about the result of to-day's work to make large engagements. Freights continue dull. To Liverpool the engagements are: 20,000 bushels Corn at 41@42d., in bulk. and 12,000 bushels Wheat at 51d., in bags; 2,000 bbls. Flour at 1s. 9d. @1s. 10ld.

A vessel of 650 tuns (abont 000 hhds.), for Cowes, with orders for Liverpool, London or Breinen, with Sugar, at 27s. 6d. The business of the Sub Treasury was: Receipts, $125,681 01, including $100,000 transferred from Bos. tor; payments, $277,407 92; balance, $5,817,545 48. The disbursements W and have been much larger but for the fact that the Bowery Savings Bank received $600,000 from Washington, in three drafts of $200,000, and only used one of them. The Artisans' and Merchants' Exchange Banks have published cards, stating that those institutions are abundantly able to pay all their debts, and that they hope soon to resume business.

The financial skies begin to clear in New York. Confidence revives. Stocks have gone up with a bound. New York State Stocks have advanced thirteen per cent. within two days. Ceptral Rail Road Stock is fifteen per cent. higher than it was a week ago. Virginia 6's jumped 17 per cent in a day. Even Erie and Illinois Central, whose engagements were lately protested, went up, the one 5, the otaer 8 per cent. Not a security sold at a decline. Gold begins to grow abundant. Specie was carried through the streets yesterday, looking for buyous at 4 per cent and found them scarce There is a story that an agent of the Rothschilds came out in the Van derbilt, to embrace this opportunity of buying up a large quantity of American securities at low rates. The Vanderbilt brings $20,000 in gold from Europe. The Northern Light brings $1,664,200 from California.Gold begins to find its way back to bank vaults. The run for savings has ceased. The Bowery Savings Bank alone received yesterday $5,000 in deposits, some of it in the same bags that carried it off a day or two before. Some who had drawn out gold to sell it in Wall street, found no market for it, and brought it back. There is no more trouble about bills. Everybody takes those of banks in this State without scrutiny. You hear noth ing more of "thrown out" or "broken" money. A dollar will go for a dollar, and silver change is freely given for it. The banks take all State bills on deposit. Bank stocks share in the general rise.Bank of Commerce is up to 70½ and American Exchange at 70-a rise of 18 per cent. Help is promised to the merchants.Accommodations were more liberal yes terday than for weeks past. The banks agree that there shall be an increase of discounts as rapid as their means will permit. Business faculies will be ex tended to bring forward the crops, and that once effected. all things will gradually but surely recover their healthy tone.-Albany Journal.
