DAY ASPECT OF THE CITY. (THIS .) - lgglol7B KUI4 014 - 81P71TRAL RANKS. N ev er before did the City, and more par timissiy that part of it which contains the wake b ea ks, wear such an aspect as it has duo *day from the hour when the lbanks were for business, up to the hour cd our going to :p ali s i It soon became manifest that the failure of d and Gurney's bank had produced a wide feeling of distrust, and it was distressing to i n' t ros the eager exprosaion in the faces of m oos who had left home for the purpose of dr;Aout their deposits, and as many of them y supposed saving their families from ruin. gToiclon customers who were bent on this errand wars doubt supplemented by numerous arrivals fro olse country by early trains, and some in the t hoelted manifestly &provincial appearance. A few of ortenks, as if to invite those who felt distrust ful, opened their doors at 9 instead of 10 o'clock. but it was not till after 10 that the excitement b ug pito be unmistakeably manifest. From that time Lombard-street, Birchin-lane and Throgmor *potted, commenced filling, and these and some o g l e neighbouring streets soon became almost li s ped up with passengers and vehicles. A large au s& was assembled opposite particular banks ; pa adierhaps, ineomedegree these gatherings helped *ukasese the intensity of the run. Policemen were stationed at the doors of the banks which were sub to this pressure, to enable those who had wine's there to pass in and out, and they hsd considerable difficulty in keeping the way clear. Between 1 and 2 o'clock it began to be stated ja sell-informed quarters that the government had some to the relief of the banks, and the natural in hrenoe from this was that • panic which was far prayer than those of 1847 and 1857 was sot unlikely to be arrested. It was with a sense of relief, as if some tremendous impending phmity affecting the whole community had been leadenly removed, that this news was received. The continuous procession of depositors was not Indeed arrested. Men had come for their money and meant to have it. Probably an official gua rantee from the Chancellor of the Ex chequer would not have altered their determination. It was curious to observe the change of counte nance produced by two or three minutes spelt opposite a bank counter, and many on coming out, audibly expressed their satisfaction.

The committee met again this morning at 11 eel** ; Mr. Vivian in the chair. Mr. O'Malley, Q.C., intimated that it was not his inten tion to call any 'witnesses on the part of Sir Rowland Blenaerbassett. Mr. • Serjeant Ballantine then proceeded to sum up the wean the part of the petitioners. The plain English of the intimation just given by his learned friend was that be was afraid of putting into the box Sir Rowland Blennerhasset or Mr. Kirwan, the philanthropic pawnbroker, who took a pleasure in dispensing 5/. notes for the benefit of his own race. (A laugh.) It was irn poedble for any reasonable man to come to any other conclusion than that there was a desire to prevent a full investigation of the case. His learned friend must contend either that there was no bri eery °Tao agency, but he submitted to the committee that there was abundant evidence to negative any such as samption.The case against Sir Rowland Blennechassett was this : —Hs had been described u • " strolling candidate," wandering from Kerry to Galway ; and it wee quite clear that on Sir Rowland'a arrival there arrived a considerable earn of money, and that the liberality of the pawnbroker was cotemporary with the arrival of both. The question wax did, Sir Rowland bring down the money with which the bribery was carried on ? [Left sitting.] SINGULAR DEATH BY POISON. INQUEST.—(THIS DAY.) This morning Mr. John Humphreys, the Mid dies: coroner, held an inquiry at the William IV. Tavern, Shepherdess-walk, City-road, relative to the death by pike of Benjamin Southcombe, aged 62. It appeared from the evidence that the e. ed Was a tin-plate worker, residing at 2, Vaughan- *we, Roston. Last Tuesday week he went out Is the early morning to go to work in a work eke in Bermondsey, carrying with him a quantity of eoffee in a tin. A deadly poison, composed pnncipally of hydrocyanic acid, used in the business for making solder, was kept in the workshop, in a tin vessel of the name dupe as that in which deceased carried his coffee, and is mistake he drank the poison off at a draught, thinking It vas the coffee. He was immediately taken to the hospital, and then home, when he died from the effects of the poison. The jury returned a verdict of " Death by poison, taken bsdrertently, and by mistake."

MARK-LANE.—(THIS DAY.) 8 The supply of English wheat on offer in our market to day was very moderate and the trade ruled steady at full g quotations. The general quality of the samples was tole- II rally good. With foreign wheat we were tolerably well, but not to say heavily supplied. The transactions were by no means numerous ; nevertheless, Monday's prices were well sup rted. po Floating cargoes of grain were steady in price. The few samples of English barley on the stands were taken off slowly on former terms. Foreign qualities were very dull. Malt was in good supply and fair request at extreme rates. Oats, owing to the large import from abroad, were a dull sale, but not cheaper. Beans supported Monday's advances; but the inquiry for them was by no means active. The demand for peas was heavy, at late rates. Both English and foreign flour changed hands slowly, on former terms. The seed market was doing. ive. In cakes very little was PRICY& Lea.

Messrs. Pattendou and Smith report a fair amount of business doing in hops of all descriptions, at late quotations. A communication from Stockholm announces that the proposition tending to declare persons not be longing to the protestant faith admiasible ie different public functions, has been rejected by the clergy, although adopted by the other three orders. The diet of 1867 will be called on to decide the uueition definit.vely, and there appears no doubt that it will be solved in the sense of toleration. St 100 10 I 6 Stloo .

RISE IN THE BANK RATE OF DLSOOUNT. 0111 O'CLOOt. The City to-day present+ a scene of extraordi nary excitement, and great crowds are congre gated round the doors of some of the large banking and financial establishments. Many persons are withdrawing their deposit., but, thus fa, there is no severe run, and it is hoped that this will be averted by timely action on the part of the government in relaxing the Bank Charter Aet. It is generally rumoured that a deputation of bankers have gone to the West-end, with a view to see Mr. Gladstone on the subject, but this statement has not met with any official confirmation. The failure was announced the first thing this morning of the English Joint Stock Bank (Limited), an undertaking established in 1864, under the title of the South Eastern Banking Company, with a capital of 1,000,0001., to purchase the business of the West Surrey Bank, conducted by Megan. Mangles. The company have since bought the business of Messrs. Olding, Osborne, and Co., of London ; also that of the Ramsgate Bank (Burgess and Canham), the Bideford Bank (Harding and Co.), and the Nottinghamshire Bank (Hart, Fellows, and Co.). At the meeting held in February last the amount due to custo mers on current and deposit accounts was stated at 901,469/. ; the gross profits for the half year at 46,4371. ; and a dividend was declared at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum. It is an extraordinary feature that dealings in all Stock Exchange securities are completely sus pended, except in Consols, and the transactions in these are of the most limited character, the dealers not being prepared to purchase to any extent until they learn from the directors of the Bank of England that they will continue to make advances upon government stocks. The arrange ment of the half-monthly account in shares and foreign stocks has commenced amid extreme confu sion ; and in most cases the " jobbers" refuse to carry over stock, compelling the operators for a rise to close their accounts. Consols are nominally quoted 85 to }, with div.,for money, and 84 to ex div. ,for the account. Practically, however, convertibility even of government stocks is at an end for the time. HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK. The directors of the Bank of England have raised the rate of discount from 8 to 9 per cent., and it is currently reported that they have decided to make advances upon stock at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum. Two o'CLocii. A rumour has gained circulation that the ' Bank of England have just been authorised by Government to issue 5,000,0001. of notes beyond the legal amount, but the rumour remains unconfirmed, and is not generally credited, the opinion being that a !solution of the crisis can only be attained by a complete abrogation, for the time, of the Act of 1844, without any stipulation whatever as regards limitation of the notes to be sd issued in excess of the law. As we write, the excitement throughout the City is becoming constantly more intense. The streets in which the great banking houses are situated are full of excited crowds, and the run upon many of the banks is increasing. Apart from the expected relaxation of the Act, credit and confidence are com pletely gone, and public securities of all kinds are totally unsaleable. At the latest moment there is a rumour that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has come down in haste to the Bank of England. FOUR O'CLOCK.

TERISIMAY Evwoo. The stock markets, though still extremely sensi tive, showed some slight tendency to re covery at one period of the day, in con sequence of some large purchases, said to be on German account, and accompanied by a rumour that Austria has offered to cede Venetia to Italy for a fixed sum. This rumour—so im portant if true—remaining, however, wholly un confirmed, the markets resumed a dull appearance, and a recovery which had taken place in Italian securities was lost. At 3 o'clock Consols were quoted the same as they closed yesterday, but between that hour and four the price fell per cent., and all the other markets were plunged into wild confusion by the news of the stoppage of Overend, Gurney, and Co.—a piece of intelligence which was so startling, that manypersona remained incredulous to the last. In the chief home rail ways there was an immediate fall of lto 2 per cent., and a reduction of equal amount took place in most of the foreign stocks. The leading American securities fell 1 to 15 per cent. Canadian and foreign railway shares all gave way, except Lombardo-Venetian, which closed at yesterday's prig. The market for financial shares was panic stricken, and there was extraordinary confusion as regards bank shares. Alliance Bank fell 31. to 41., and shares in several establishments were literally offered for nothing, by holders desirous of avoiding further liability. National Discount shares suffered severely, declining 41. 10s.; while those of Overend, Gurney, and Co. fell, within the space of a few minutes, about 71., viz., from about 31. disootuit per 501. share with 151. paid, to 10/. discount. The coming settlement in the Stock Exchange is looked forward to with great anxiety. Consols, which closed yesterday at 841 to 4 ex div. for the 6th June, opened this morning at 841, and were maintained at about that level until the announcement of the stoppage of Overend, Gurney, and Co., when there was a sudden fall to 844 to jf. For money the lest price was eel to with div. The officialbusinessreport leas follows : —Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 851, ;, 1, 64, 51 ; ditto, for account, 841, g, 5, 41 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 844, 31, 41 ; New Three per Cents., 844, 4, n, 4 1 ; India Stock, 212 ; ditto Five per Cent., 105, 41, 5 ; ditto Four per Cent., 95 , ditto Five-and-a-half per Cent. "en faced " rupee paper, 107 ; ditto Four per Cent. Debentures, 1004 ; ditto Bonds, 14s. prem. Indian government securities have likewise given way. Exchequer Bills were more offered, and declined Is., the March being quoted 10s. to ss. tbs., and the Juno his. to ls. dis. The fall in foreign stocks made further actions progress to-day. Egyptian (1001.) Bonds receded 3 per cent. ; Mexican of 1862 and Spanish Three per Cents., 2 ; ditto, Deferred, Brazilian of 1865, Portuguese, Turkish of 1864, and Venezuelan of 18114, 1 ; Spanish Passive, ; the Committee's Cer titicatus and Mexican, 4 ; and Greek COUNIIH, Brazilian scrip, and Equador, 5. On the other hand, Turkish of 1862 rose 14 per cent., and Danu bian 1. An extraordinary panic prevailed in the market for bank shares, especially after the announcement of the stoppage of Overend, Gurney, and Co., and shares in many undertakings were quite rnsaleable. In several eases they were offered for nothing, but with a provision that the dealer should find a fresh name to place upon the share register. It may be well to mention, in the present tune of distrust, that the market for bank shares in the Stock Exchange is a very limited one, the dealers being only about half-a-dozen in number, and unable to buy in a few hours shares representing millions of capital. In concerns of undoubted stability—and there are many of this class whose shares are now being sacrificed--shareholders should show con fidence, and do their beat to mitigate the present alarm. According to the comparison 4,f pnces afforded by the official list, Alliance fell 31. 55.; London and County, 3/. ; Agra and Maetennan's, Bank of Egypt, Chartered of India, Australia, and China, London Joint Stock, and London and Westininsttx, 21.; Midland, National of Liverpool, and Union of London, 11.; Anglo-Austrian, lrys.; Australasia, Metropolitan and Provincial, English, Scottish, and Australian Chartered, 10s.; Consoli dated Imperial* ntoman,and Land Mortgaged India, ss. ; and Chartered Mercantile of India, London, and China, and London and South Western, were in exceptional request, and rose 21. 105. and 10s. respectively. Alliance finally left off at 11 to 10 dis. ; A ng lo-Austrian, at 24 to dis. ; and Im perial Ottoman, at 11 to Of die. Financial shares were heavy in the morning, and almost unsaleable in the afternoon, on the announcement of the stoppage of Overend, Gurney, and Co. Compared with the last q uotations of yesterday, Credit Fonder and Mobilier show a fall of 1/. 2s. 6d. ; General Credit and Imperial Mer cantile, 17s. 6d. ; and International Financial and London Financial, 7s. 6d. Prices were last quoted as follows:—lnternational Financial, 21 to 2/ dis. ; General Credit, 3 to 2 dia. ; London Financial, 11 to 10 dis. ; Imperial Mercantile Credit, 10 to 95 dis. ; Credit Fonder and Mobilier, 44 to 4 dia. National Discount shares were last quoted 1 to 2, prem., showing a fall of 41. 10s. ; Overend, Gurney, and Co., 10 to 95 dis., being 61. 15a. lower ; Gene ral Ottoman, par to 2 prem. ; and Hudson's Bay, 144 to 5, a reduction of 7s. 6d. The fall in miscellaneous shares continues. Anglo-Mexican Mint, Atlantic Telegraph, Australian Mortgage, City of London Real Property, Ebbw Vale, Egyp tian Trading, Electric Telegraph, Hong Kong and China Gas, Italian Irrigation Land Securities, London General Omnibus, Fore-street Warehouse, and Ocean Marine, all gave way.
