The Banks and Money. The Banks in Philadelphia, mentioned in our last as having resumed, continue to pay specie for all their liabilities. The run on them has ceased, and they go on doing business again, just as if no suspension had ever taken place. The Moyamensing, and the Mechanics' Banks, who were obliged to close their doors at the time of general resumption, are making efforts, it is said to re-open shortly and pay specie. The Relief notes, and the notes of the broken and suspended Banks, still remain at a heavy discount. The Faston Bank pays gold and silver for all her notes, and goes on swimmingly. She was the first one in the State to resume, and is sound to the back bone. The Allentown Bank is still under suspension, and its notes are at a discount of from 10 to 15 per cent.
