The decline in the general Stock market appears to have received & check, and to day, notwithstan the gloomy appearance of financial affairs, there was an advance in the quotations for some of the best descriptions. The low prices ruling at the Stock Board have brought in & considerable amount of investment orders, but in speculation the movement is very limited. At the Second Board the market was well sustained excepting for State stocks, and after the Second Board, with moderate transactions, the changes were unimportant. Ne York Central cash stock has been scaree to-day, and advanced to 531, closing at 531, an advance of 11 V cent. The contraction of the currency continues to throw large amounts of State Stocks on the market, which breaks down DE der the supply. Missouri 6s fell off to 59, against 64 on Saturday. Virginias declined to 67, against 70 on Saturday. Ohio declined 1 P cent. New-York Stocks are weak, but comparatively well austained. A New-York 5 P cent, due July, at 90, is a temptation not easily resisted by a capitalist. Railroad Bonds are inactive and lower. Illinois Central sold down to 50. There something doing in Exchange and at lower rates, but the Wednesday mail doss not now promise to be a large one. Sterling is 95 102, with the balk of the transactions at par.

Included 12. the payments are about $125,000 for Government Stocks. The Bowery Savinge Bank will receive to-morrow, unless the Mint fails, $600,000 for redeemed Government Stock. The Grocers' Bank was unable to make its ex. changes at the Clearing-House this morning, and has shut its doors. The capital of the Bank is $300,000. Its circulation is well secured by State Stocks at Albany. Its present condition will be seen by reference to the Weekly Bank Statement published to-day. The Bank originated from a split a few years since in the Board of Directors of the North River Bank. Ra. more are afloat in regard to several other up town Banks, but as far as we could learn there was no basis for them. The Grocers' and East River B JJKS are suspended from - - clearing House Ko-day. Mr. David J. Banks has been appointed Receiver of the latter institution. In addition to the Grocers' of this city, the Commercial Bank of Ciyde and the Bank of Lowville are thrown out by the Metropolitan, and the Tompkins County Bank is discredited by some of the uncurrent money brokers. A large number of mercantile failures were rumored to day, but the only important ones established are Dykers & Alstyne, one of the oldest and wealthiest houses at the Brokers' Board, who were unable to respond to their call loans; Mesers. Hall, Dana & Co., & very extensive commissi on house; Messrs. Ludium, Leggett & Co, & rich produce house; L O. Wilson & Co., one of the largest of our dry goods houses; Carhart, Bacon & Clark, and Ketchum, Montross & Co. Also two or three very old and extensive houses in Philadelphia, and three-Messrs. Dean, King & Co., A. J. McCreary & Co., and Collins, Kirby & Co.-in St. Louis. The pressure is reaching the better class of our merchants, in regard to whom, a few weeks since, it would have been difficult to suppose that the times could become stringent enough to break them. But the cellections from the interior are almost entirely cut off by the blockade of the domestic exchanges, and the banks can do nothing for them but to renew a portion of their maturing obligations. If any kind of assets were available as collaterals, most of the houses which have suspended of late could have offered se simple amount, but the loss of conf dence is 80 great that capitaliste will not part with their money, and merchants find no alterna. tive but to fail withtheir haude full of valuable but unavailable assete. There has been a run on two or three of the Savings Banks in this city, and the old Breoklyn Savings Bank. The ran has been promptly met. The priacipal demand from depositors has been at the Chambers street and Bowery Institutions. In regard to the furner the officers refuse to give any informati on,
