POSTSCRIPT. BY LAST EVENING'S MAIL so (N. Y. Express of Saturday.) 07 The work of desolation and ruin is rapidly progressing. In addition to the stopage of the Banks in New York and Boston, we find by the Mail papers this morning, that all the Banks in Philadelphia, includ. ing the U.S. Bank, have suspended the redemption of their bills. We further learn that the Banks at N. Haven, Con. Brookline and Providence, have al. so stopped payment. B On the receipt of the news of the stopage of the Boston Banks, the Bank in this town, also followed suit. The Manchester, Bennington and rumor says, the Windsor and Woodstock banks, have come into this measure and we are sorry to say that we have no doubt but every bank in the Northern. Middle and Eastern States has or will have to adopt this course. What will be the ultimate end of all this derangement of the Fiscal concerns of the country no one can tell. Most of the banks are doubtless solvent and sound, and unless all their debtors fail. will continue 80 until the country can be relieved from the reckless blood-suckers who mis- govern it, and disorder and confusion can be restored. We conjecture that the bills of most of the banks will continue to circulate as usual, and the people may perhaps consent to take them as readily as hertofore, for there is no other currency now apparently ID existence, in this region. All the Jack son gold' and silver has been lugged off to the Western Wildes to speculate in lands, locked up in the vaults of the banks, or in the coffers of the miser, who dares not entrust it to go beyond his reach for fear it will get the Western fever! and fall into the hands of the Western pels. The bills of such banks as have been current here heretofore, we understand are receivable at the bank in this town now, except the Manchester, Bennington and St. Albans ; 86 also most of the New York Western Banks. d we understand that a meeting of the directors of all the Banks in this state is requested a Montpelier on Friday next.
