The Woodbury Bank Enjoined. NEW Haven, June 4.-The Woodbury Bank, of Connecticut, was enjoined yesterday by the commissioners, and is to be placed in the hands of a receiver to be wound up. There will be no serious loss to the holders of the circulating notes ; but the stock will be a total loss. This bank was in 1853 placed under injunction, but subsequently released by the court. Since then it has done little business beyond the issue of its notes.
