Bank Items. The N. Y. Tribune of the 6th says: The Bank of Lima and the Thompson (Ct) Bank are again received. The Banks thrown out to-day are the Bank of Central New York, Utica; the Oneida Central Bank, Rome; and the Worthington Bank-all this State. The report originating with the New Jersey Sentinel, that the State Bank at New Brunswick, N. J., had suspended, is untrue. This is one of the oldest banks in the State, has already redeemed its bills in this city, and, we are assured, is as sound as any bank in the country. The Exchange Bank of Lockport has not suspended, and the Traveler says that the notes of the Bass River Bank are redeemed at the Suffolk Bank. The Jersey City Sentinel of Oct. 20, says: "There is not a single New Jersey bank at present in a state of suspension. The State Bank at New Brunswick, and the Bergen County Bank, the only two which suspended, resumed almost immediately, and none others are now likely to go down." The following is a list of the Virginia independent banks which have suspended: Monticello Bank, Charlottesville; Bank of Commerce, Fredericksburg; Valiey Bank, Charlestown: all in Winchester, Staunton and Alexandria, and Manufacturers' & Mechanics' Bank in Wheeling; Bank of Berkely, Martinsburg; the Bank at Howardsville, and Bank at Rockingham, Harrisonburg. The Peninsular Bank of Detroit was enjoined on the 29th. The charter requires that its securities, which are United States and State stocks, shall be kept in market valuation at a certain rate with the issue of the bills. Michigan State stocks having fallen to 75 cents, the State Treasurer required the surrender of $40,000 of the circulating notes, which the bank refused. The Attorney General, as authorized by the Revised Statutes, filed a bill in chancery, and obtained an injunction against the bank. VIRGINIA POLITICS. The Richmond Enquirer states that Gov. Wise is not a candidate for the United States Senate in opposition to Senator Hunter. It sustains this assertion by submitting sundry reasons why Gov. Wise should not enter upon such a canvass. He is a condidate for the Presidency in 1860, and a contest with Senator Hunter, whether successful or not, could not fail to weaken his prospects by arraying against him strength which he will need in his support. Mr. Hunter's re-election, it is urged, with Gov. Wise's co-operation, will "by no means injure the Presidential prospects of the latter."
