Passed November 28d 1857. T. H. Rozyg, Clerk. J. W. GRIER, roe issued from the . . chants, meetings of mechanics, meetings of polAll real estate . 29th 1857, and enti. collection of . 1837 and 1857, Some of the active business men of the present generation who may think the werld is coming to an end because the banks have susen specie payment, will be censoled by nowing that just twenty years ago the whole ; country was under going precisely the same menetary throes which now afflict us. The phenomena of the bank stoppage of 1837 was, i many respects, very similar to those of the present revulsion, while in others they were remarkably different, exhibiting in a striking manner, the great changes which the ceuutr, has undergone during twenty years. New Yor then took the lead in suspending, aud Philadelphia was the last to follow the example. Now the case has been reversed. The first bank that suspended in 1837 was the Dry Dock, one of the “pet banks,’’ as they were called, in which the evernment deposited its funds. This bank suspended specie payment on the 8th of May, the Chancellor immediately an injunetion upon it, and the ran upon the other banks commenced. The papers the next day, in announcing the event, stated that the other Wall street banks were in a perfectly safe condition, and abundantly able to meet all their obligations; but netwithstanding this assurance, which probably would have satisfied any but a paniestricken puolic, there was a meeting of bank officers the same evening, in which all but three banks resolved on suspending the next day. To show to what extremities they were reduced, it was stated that $600,000 in coin had been abstracted from the banks in one day, and when they closed their doors, they held in the aggregate bat $1,000,000, The full extent of their specie, wheu the run commenced, was but $3,000,000—about a quarter the amount held by our banks at the present time a few days previous to their suspension. The three banks which refused to join the suspension at first were the Manhattan, the National and the America, whieh are still the stiffest of our bauking institutions, But they held out for a very few days, and then eame to grief like the rest. The day after the suspension spycie sold at 5} per cent, premium, which is almost the rate at which it was quoted yesterday. By August, however, it had risen . as high as 10 per cent. The Legislature was in . session, and a law was promptly passed, giving the banks a year’s absolution from the legal . consequences of their transgression, and before the expiration of that term they had all resumed. There was then a similar run en the sayings banks to that which bas now taken place; but the effect of the suspension on the public mind was much more exciting than that of the present suspension. To put down anticipated riots the military were ordered out and furnished with ball cartridges, and the Mayor addressed a meeting of citizens in the Park, assuring them that he regarded the banks as —— solvent and that they would pay all their liabil. ities in full, which seems to have had a comforting and quieting influence upon them. Nobedy now seems to think it of any consequence what our present Mayor’s views on the financial pres. sure may be. There were meetings of mer. iticians, and great excitement generally in relation to the matter, for nobody seemed to know . what ought to be done, and a committee of fifty . merchants were sent on to Washington to con. \ fer with President Van Buren, and selicit his . . assistance; but we are informed that the interview between these two great powers lasted just . eight minutes, and the merchants returned to report to their fellow-citizens that they had . merely gove te Washington and returned no . . wiser than they went. But though the Presi. . dent refused to do anything for the relief of the merchantile community then, he summoned an . extra session of Congress, which met on the 4th of September to devise measures for the relief . . of the country. Congress was in session just a . . fortnight aud then adjourned without having . done auything in partieular to relieve the finan. cial distress of the country, which was fast be. ing relieved by the individual exertion and industry of the people. On the adjournment . having been aunounced, Mr. Wise, who was then one of the Whig champions in Congress, “created great meriment’’ by announcing that there was no more gold in the treasury and . . that the members would have to be paid iu “rag }currency.”’ Nothing could show in a more striking manner the great progress we have . made in governmental magnificence than the . fact stated by President Van Buren in bis mes. sage to Congress, that all the gold required by . the Administration to carry on the aflairs of the Government was ten millions of dollars. Immediately after the suspension of our City } . banks all the country banks in the State follow. ed the example, but the Philadelphia banks did . not suspend until the 1lith of May, and the . Boston banks held out until the 13th, wile the ’. Washington banks did not suspend until the . 19th. All the banks ef the South and West fullowed as fast as the intelligence reached . them of the stoppage in New York. New York . was then in a really distressed condition for the . Jack of a currency, for all bank notes under . . five dollars were then prohibited, and those who . . were so fortunate as to have any specie held on . to it, there was absolutely no cireulating medi. um for the small business ef society until the invention of shinplasters brought relief. Asa striking contrast between the commer' cial distresses of 1837 and 1857, it may be stat. . ed that up to the suspensions of specie payments . by our City banks, there had been within a few . . weeks 352 mercantile failures, while the whole . . number of failures and suspensions now since . the panic commenced in August, has been bat . . 249; yet the business of the City is more than ' double what it was at the time of the first suspension, . The effect of the suspension on the Stock . . Market ia 1837 was extremely exhilerating; the . stock of the bank of the United States advanced . in @ few days from 100 to 118. “King Biddle” . was then in his glory, and leoked upon by the . Whigs as the financial savior of his country. It) is curious to read the extravagant terms of lau. dation which were bestowed upon him by the Whig papers. The staid and respectable Commercial Advertiser, in alluding to him, says : . “He is a wonderful man, a most extraordinary . /man, there is no doubt of it,’ &c. There was) . just at that time another most extraordinary . man in New York, though nobedy seemed to be . /aware of his extraordinary qualities, and who . was certainly not to be mentioned in the same . day with “Ring Biddle,’ but the same paper . which contained the allusion to the financial potentate centained also a letter from the other personage, addressed to the Editor of the Courrier des Etats Unis, aud signed Leuis Napoleon. . The present Emperor of France has probably a . perfectly distinct recollection of the suspension . of specie payments by our banks in 1837, aa he . was then a fugitive in our City and rather in . want of funds himself. There is one very great difference between . the present suspension and that of 20 years ago. There is now a rather vague and uncertain feeling in the public mind asto the cause of our . treubles; but then there was not the least doubt . as tothe matter. The Whigs attributed it all to . Jackson-Van Burenism, and made the Admin. istration responsible for every commercial fail. ure; while the other party—and then, happily, there were but two parties—attributed everything that went wrong to the British—Biddle— Bank—and Barings.—N.

Li.ty.—The Pannama correspondent of the Hvening Bulletin, Mr. Rice, gives a detailed narrative of the death of Chris. Lilly, by which it appears that he and a companion named Yates were murdered by Knote, an officer of the Costa Ricans, who, by offering to tew Lilly’s vessel to La Union, for repairs, took them prisoners, The correspondent rays: “On his arrival at La Union, Knete took Lilly on board and put him in irons, He was seen in this condition on board the Santiago, by an American gentleman, whe interceded with Knote for his release. Knote replied that he would be glad to accede to his request, but he had orders from his Government to send him to the capital. A couple of months subsequently, Knote informed the same geatleman that he had . released him, This proved te be false. By order of the Guatemalian commander, Lilly and Yates were taken down into the hold while in irons, where a volley from five marines, commanded by a sergeant, were fired into them.— Lilly fell dead at the first fire; but Yates, who was a very powerful man, was not immediately killed. In his agony he dashed his manacles at the head ef his dead companion, and scattered his brains about the hold, Yates was finally dispatched, and then the vessel raised anchor and went out to sea, to sink the bodies, Knote sold the coffee for his own benefit, and alse reb. bed Lilly of fifteen hundred dollars in cash he had with him. These murders were a loug time kept secret, but are not now disputed by any ove.

GRIER, roe issued from the . . chants, meetings of mechanics, meetings of polAll real estate . 29th 1857, and enti. collection of . 1837 and 1857, Some of the active business men of the present generation who may think the werld is coming to an end because the banks have susen specie payment, will be censoled by nowing that just twenty years ago the whole ; country was under going precisely the same menetary throes which now afflict us. The phenomena of the bank stoppage of 1837 was, i many respects, very similar to those of the present revulsion, while in others they were remarkably different, exhibiting in a striking manner, the great changes which the ceuutr, has undergone during twenty years. New Yor then took the lead in suspending, aud Philadelphia was the last to follow the example. Now the case has been reversed. The first bank that suspended in 1837 was the Dry Dock, one of the “pet banks,’’ as they were called, in which the evernment deposited its funds. This bank suspended specie payment on the 8th of May, the Chancellor immediately an injunetion upon it, and the ran upon the other banks commenced. The papers the next day, in announcing the event, stated that the other Wall street banks were in a perfectly safe condition, and abundantly able to meet all their obligations; but netwithstanding this assurance, which probably would have satisfied any but a paniestricken puolic, there was a meeting of bank officers the same evening, in which all but three banks resolved on suspending the next day. To show to what extremities they were reduced, it was stated that $600,000 in coin had been abstracted from the banks in one day, and when they closed their doors, they held in the aggregate bat $1,000,000, The full extent of their specie, wheu the run commenced, was but $3,000,000—about a quarter the amount held by our banks at the present time a few days previous to their suspension. The three banks which refused to join the suspension at first were the Manhattan, the National and the America, whieh are still the stiffest of our bauking institutions, But they held out for a very few days, and then eame to grief like the rest. The day after the suspension spycie sold at 5} per cent, premium, which is almost the rate at which it was quoted yesterday. By August, however, it had risen . as high as 10 per cent. The Legislature was in . session, and a law was promptly passed, giving the banks a year’s absolution from the legal . consequences of their transgression, and before the expiration of that term they had all resumed. There was then a similar run en the sayings banks to that which bas now taken place; but the effect of the suspension on the public mind was much more exciting than that of the present suspension. To put down anticipated riots the military were ordered out and furnished with ball cartridges, and the Mayor addressed a meeting of citizens in the Park, assuring them that he regarded the banks as —— solvent and that they would pay all their liabil. ities in full, which seems to have had a comforting and quieting influence upon them. Nobedy now seems to think it of any consequence what our present Mayor’s views on the financial pres. sure may be. There were meetings of mer. iticians, and great excitement generally in relation to the matter, for nobody seemed to know . what ought to be done, and a committee of fifty . merchants were sent on to Washington to con. \ fer with President Van Buren, and selicit his . . assistance; but we are informed that the interview between these two great powers lasted just . eight minutes, and the merchants returned to report to their fellow-citizens that they had . merely gove te Washington and returned no . . wiser than they went. But though the Presi. . dent refused to do anything for the relief of the merchantile community then, he summoned an . extra session of Congress, which met on the 4th of September to devise measures for the relief . . of the country. Congress was in session just a . . fortnight aud then adjourned without having . done auything in partieular to relieve the finan. cial distress of the country, which was fast be. ing relieved by the individual exertion and industry of the people. On the adjournment . having been aunounced, Mr. Wise, who was then one of the Whig champions in Congress, “created great meriment’’ by announcing that there was no more gold in the treasury and . . that the members would have to be paid iu “rag }currency.”’ Nothing could show in a more striking manner the great progress we have . made in governmental magnificence than the . fact stated by President Van Buren in bis mes. sage to Congress, that all the gold required by . the Administration to carry on the aflairs of the Government was ten millions of dollars. Immediately after the suspension of our City } . banks all the country banks in the State follow. ed the example, but the Philadelphia banks did . not suspend until the 1lith of May, and the . Boston banks held out until the 13th, wile the ’. Washington banks did not suspend until the . 19th. All the banks ef the South and West fullowed as fast as the intelligence reached . them of the stoppage in New York. New York . was then in a really distressed condition for the . Jack of a currency, for all bank notes under . . five dollars were then prohibited, and those who . . were so fortunate as to have any specie held on . to it, there was absolutely no cireulating medi. um for the small business ef society until the invention of shinplasters brought relief. Asa striking contrast between the commer' cial distresses of 1837 and 1857, it may be stat. . ed that up to the suspensions of specie payments . by our City banks, there had been within a few . . weeks 352 mercantile failures, while the whole . . number of failures and suspensions now since . the panic commenced in August, has been bat . . 249; yet the business of the City is more than ' double what it was at the time of the first suspension, . The effect of the suspension on the Stock . . Market ia 1837 was extremely exhilerating; the . stock of the bank of the United States advanced . in @ few days from 100 to 118. “King Biddle” . was then in his glory, and leoked upon by the . Whigs as the financial savior of his country. It) is curious to read the extravagant terms of lau. dation which were bestowed upon him by the Whig papers. The staid and respectable Commercial Advertiser, in alluding to him, says : . “He is a wonderful man, a most extraordinary . /man, there is no doubt of it,’ &c. There was) . just at that time another most extraordinary . man in New York, though nobedy seemed to be . /aware of his extraordinary qualities, and who . was certainly not to be mentioned in the same . day with “Ring Biddle,’ but the same paper . which contained the allusion to the financial potentate centained also a letter from the other personage, addressed to the Editor of the Courrier des Etats Unis, aud signed Leuis Napoleon. . The present Emperor of France has probably a . perfectly distinct recollection of the suspension . of specie payments by our banks in 1837, aa he . was then a fugitive in our City and rather in . want of funds himself. There is one very great difference between . the present suspension and that of 20 years ago. There is now a rather vague and uncertain feeling in the public mind asto the cause of our . treubles; but then there was not the least doubt . as tothe matter. The Whigs attributed it all to . Jackson-Van Burenism, and made the Admin. istration responsible for every commercial fail. ure; while the other party—and then, happily, there were but two parties—attributed everything that went wrong to the British—Biddle— Bank—and Barings.—N.

Li.ty.—The Pannama correspondent of the Hvening Bulletin, Mr. Rice, gives a detailed narrative of the death of Chris. Lilly, by which it appears that he and a companion named Yates were murdered by Knote, an officer of the Costa Ricans, who, by offering to tew Lilly’s vessel to La Union, for repairs, took them prisoners, The correspondent rays: “On his arrival at La Union, Knete took Lilly on board and put him in irons, He was seen in this condition on board the Santiago, by an American gentleman, whe interceded with Knote for his release. Knote replied that he would be glad to accede to his request, but he had orders from his Government to send him to the capital. A couple of months subsequently, Knote informed the same geatleman that he had . released him, This proved te be false. By order of the Guatemalian commander, Lilly and Yates were taken down into the hold while in irons, where a volley from five marines, commanded by a sergeant, were fired into them.— Lilly fell dead at the first fire; but Yates, who was a very powerful man, was not immediately killed. In his agony he dashed his manacles at the head ef his dead companion, and scattered his brains about the hold, Yates was finally dispatched, and then the vessel raised anchor and went out to sea, to sink the bodies, Knote sold the coffee for his own benefit, and alse reb. bed Lilly of fifteen hundred dollars in cash he had with him. These murders were a loug time kept secret, but are not now disputed by any ove.
