Failure of the Bank of the State of New York. NEW YORK, March 14.-The Evening Post says that the State Bank of New York closed its doors to-day, by reason of its having been thrown out of the Clearing House. This action of the Clearing House Commission was taken after the investigation suggested by the Bank Examiner, Mr. Meigs. He found the affairs of the bank in a bad condition, there having been-large overdrafts made by speculators in merchandize. The Clearing House will have a full meeting at 3 o'clock to ratify or disapprove the action of the Clearing House Commission. The capital of the bank is $2,000,000. By last Saturday's statement it had loans of $3,980,000-specie $325,000, legal tenders $1,095,000; circulation $250,000, and deposits $2,855,000. At the Clearing House it was debit this morning $103,000, which was paid. The depositors in the bank and the note holders will lose nothing, the total loss will fall on the stockholders, and it is thought that the capital is impaired one-half. The examination of the affairs of the bank was begun by Meiga some days ago. He found that irregular loans had been made to produce dealers, and that a great many bad debts were the result. Among these debts there are acceptions of Duncan, Sherman & Co., to the amount of $70,000, then there are other debts in sums varying from $10,000 to $20,000. When these facts were ascertained, Meigs reported to the Clearing House Commissioners, and at a meeting this morning it was decided that a receiver ought to be asked for and the bank closed. In accordance with this review Meiga at once telegraphed to
