The circular of N. J. O. Davis, of Cincinnati, gives the following review of the money market of that city for the week ending Wednesday evening, Nov. 8, 1854:The past week has been one of varied and intense interest in monetary cireles. The failure of some banks to redeem in coin all the presentations of their issues has given rise to many vague and uncertain rumors-confidence is undermined, and there is nothing but confusion in the general appearance of our currency. From the varied rumors we select some that have the most appearance of reliability. Some of the banks of Ohio and Kentucky had a short time ago enlarged their circulation. This, in some circles, created distrust, and a consequent run on these institutions. The Bank of Circleville has been compelled into a temporary suspension, although the cashier, H. K. Lawrence, Esq., states that there are ample means to redeem every dollar. The notes of the Clinton Bank, Columbus, are thrown out by some of the brokers. Parties connected with this bank state that it is all right. The notes of the Commercial Bank, Kentucky, are doubted by some and those of the Miami Valley Bank, of Dayton are thrown out. Much of this is undoubtedly the effect of panic, but its influence is all the same on the business community. This morning, in consequence of the serious illness of Mr. Ellis, of the firm of Ellis & Sturges, it was deemed advisable to close their banking house. A previous report of the death of Mr. Ellis had created a panic among the depositors, great numbers of whom have thronged the street during the whole day. Following the close of this house, the Citizens' Bank, owing to its intimate connection with this firm, closed temporarily. Subsequent to this, a run was commenced on T.S. Goodman & Co., and under the intense excitement of the day, they deemed it prudent to suspend operations till public opinion had time to become settled. There can be but little doubt but that the assets of each of the above houses will be amply sufficient to secure depositors. S. W. Torrey & Co. are withdrawing from bnsiness, and have left with another house the means to pay their depositors, finding banking at this present Chae too profitless and perplexing. The discount business of our banking institutions, owing to the unsettled state of everything connected with money or confidence, is reduced to almost nothing; honce, we quote very few regular transactions. Outside rates range from 1 to 3 per cent, with no. disposition on the part of lenders to touch anything but first class paper. Since our last issue, the November payments have become due, and it is a gratifying proof of the general preparation made by our merchants, that with few discounts there have been few failures, and these confined to small dealers.

How IT AFFECTS THE PooR.-On the 18th of Nov. last some ludicrous scenes were enacted in Cincinnatti. Some over which we could enjoy a hearty laugh did we not consider it wicked to do so. It will be remembered on that day some of the most prominent banks of that city suspended payment, depriving thousands of the poorer classes as well as many in better circumstances. of the mea which they had been saving for years to buy them comfortable houses or pay their honest debts. It is said in one of our exchanges, that no less than 10,000 people must have visited Third street during that day, and the emotions of their hearts as they visited the several banking houses where they had, many of them, deposited their all, can better be imagined than described. Among others came a rag-gatherer, " all tattered and torn," to the doors of Ellis & Sturges, but no admittance being granted he gave way to the most violent paroxysms of grief. The bystanders supposing him hardly worth a dime, found by his account book, deposits in said bank to the amount of several hundred dollars, although last winter he had applied to the poor authorities for relief, and owing to his extreme poverty was supplied with fuel. A widow lady excited some sympathy at the Citizens' Bank. Her husband had left her a small amount of money which she had deposited for the benefit of her children. She was led to believe the bank had failed and became almost frantic under her supposed loss. She was finally persuaded that her money was safe and left better satisfied. A person known for his miserly disposition drew some hundreds of dollars out of the Central Bank. Some wags amused themselves by persuading him that the notes were not safethat rumor said the banks which issued them were about suspending; others told him some pickpockets were watching him, and he had better be on the look out. It must have been truly amusing to see him sauntering about an hour or two, with the money clutched tightly in his fists, and then again depositing it in the bank. An incident took place which truthfully illustrates thousands of similar character, lately occurring in our own and neighboring States: It was the case of a man who made his appearance at a suspended bank at the hour of noon. He wore no coat. The sleeves of his checked shirt were rolled up to the elbow, his face was covered with iron dust, and his every appearance betokened one of those hard toiling mechanics whose every cent is earned by the sweat of the brow. Approaching the door he was stopped by a policeman: " Can I not get in," said he. " No sir, the bank is closed," said he. " Closed !" he exclaimed, his heart throbbing with unutterable emotion. " Gentlemen," said he, addressing the bystanders, " this is too bad ! For twenty years I have been toiling to buy me a home, but the harder I toil the further I am from accomplishing my desire. I was swindled out of the earnings of five years hard toil by a pretended friend, and now the earnings of fifteen years of unremitting labor are lost in this exploded concern. Can a working man be protected in any way ?" Yes ! we repeat it; can a working man be protected in any way ? Must the toil of many a weary month be sacrificed by the poor man, to enrich the coffers of the speculating bankers. and then end in his own ruin ? Is there no protection for him? Must he suffer the ills of poverty, perhaps of extreme want, because, forsooth, there is no law to enable him to regain his rightful property from a company of men no better in many respects than barefaced swindiers-only that they carry on their operations under the broad protection of a State charter ? Would it not be well for our law makers to consider this subject seriously and see if some way cannot be provided to protect the poor laborer, and save from utter ruin the man who entrusts his all to an institution thus protected by law ?
