The public will learn with relief and satisfaction the suspension of the Bank Charter Act, as an nounced last evening by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. 'The panic during the last two days has been at its height, and has been felt throughout the length and breadth of the land. It became during a few hours impossible to speak with confidence of the stability of any firm, and, as usual in such cases, report and rumour not only exaggerated the evil, but actually increased it by hints and innuendos. The great catastrophe of Thursday was followed yesterday by the suspension of an eminent firm, and it was universally felt that unless some assistance was given by the Government the state of affairs would become very serious. The Chan cellor of the Exchequer has acted wisely in promptly suspending the obnoxious Act which is the root of all the mischief, and which, as has been amply proved by recent experience, entirely fails to restrict excessive speculation. We hope that this crisis will induce Mr. GLADSTONE to give his very serious attention to the Act of 1844. Sir ROBERT PEEL, who altered his opinion on three of the four cardinal points of his policy, would no doubt, if he had lived to see the further work ing of the Bank Charter Act, have changed his mind respecting the Currency Question. It is many years since we advocated a total alteration of our currency laws, which, as continual experience proves, are entirely inadequate to the ever expand ing necessities of a great commercial nation. We put no limit to the capabilities of our trade and the enterprise of our commerce, why then should we hamper them by these rigid acts, which refuse to adapt themselves to the requirements' of business? It is quite evident that an act which breaks down periodically, and requires exceptional legislation, cannot be based on sound principles, and we may fairly ask whom it benefits except the Bank of England ? Mr. GLADSTONE, as the most illustrious of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S followers, would be especially qualified for the great undertaking of reforming our currency, and from his high reputation as a finan cier, his long experience at the Exchequer, and his undoubted genius, he is in every respect the proper person to deal with this onerous and. difficult ques tion. By relieving our commercial circles of this heavy burden upon them he would achieve a last ing reputation, while there is no reason why he should not secure as great a degree of stability to an enlarged currency as at present exists with a restricted one. No doubt any reform of this kind would encounter a strenuous opposition from interested parties as all reforms do, but the effect would be the same as in the adoption of Free Trade principles in our commerce. Every one now admits their value, but before they were adopted prophecies of evil were current on all sides. Why should we not carry out those principles in our finance which have been so wonderfully beneficial in our commerce? If Mr. GLADSTONE, who has • already done so much in the cause, will go yet I further, the panic of 1866 may be the last that will trouble us for a considerable period. No news of a strking nature has been received from the Continent, but there is nothing settled in the way of maintaining peace. In Vienna it was stated that the aspect of political affairs yesterday was generally regarded as threatening, and that hopes of mediation or peace are now considered illusory. A great desire seems to prevail among the people in favour of war, and it is proposed to form Volunteer Corps in all parts of the country. The Minister of War has issued orders fox provisioning the fortified towns of Bohemia, and additions are being madein the regiments of infantry. It is stated by the Neue Frenadenblatt that the Prussian Note in reply to the last communication from Aus tria has arrived, and that its nature is such as to preclude all hope of a pacificatory settlement, and is indeed calculated to cause a " complete rup ture" between the two Powers. Meanwhile Austria seems likely to receive aid in various directions. It is rumoured that Russia has intimated to the Berlin Government that if Prussia take the initiative in attacking Austria, the Imperial Government will side with Austria. Whether this be true or not, it is not likely that Russia will favour Prussia at all in the war that seems ensuing. The fact is that the Government of Berlin have offended all the other Powers, and will now the reap consequences of its contumacy in finding itself without allies in the moment of emergency. There seems no doubt of France and Austria having arrived at some understanding, and it is said that the journey of Count MULINEN to Vienna from Paris is in consequence of the request made to Austria respecting the cession of Venice. If the Government of Vienna have the sense to yield on this point, Prussia will find herself at a complete disadvantage. Turn which way we will we see nothing but de monstrations against that arbitrary country. The Middle States of Germany still maintain their war like attitude, and are evidently quite determined not to be made the tools of Prussia as they were in the last war. It seems a mockery in the present state of things to find that the Berlin journals still talk of the desire of the Government for the preservation of peace. It is not generally the way to set about accomplishing this object to arm oneself to the teeth and hurl defiance right and left to all who directly or indirectly come in contact with them. An article in the Neue Prussiche Zeitung of yesterday states that while they still hope for the maintenance of peace, "prussic m . idle it seems ust arm for war." How very know th at tonothing until all the security a k w e ill ep up this farce, when we Others have we that have induce Prussia to disarm done so ; and then what —cover that at Herr von BISMARCK will .he i s fact t o face with come great THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 12, 1866. poli'cical crisis, and that the destinies of the nation ce,mmitted to his charge demand of him that he - he should engage in war. What a disadvantage for those who had been credulous enough to put faith in his integrity, and to think that he meant what he said ! The journal referred to states, however, that ' they know it is not the wish of the KING to involve Germany in war. If they told us the meaning of Herr BISMARCK'S policy and the secret of his wishes it would be a little more to the mark. Have we not been told over and over again during the last few weeks that the KING has sacrificed his wishes in compliance with the earnest solicitations of his Ministers. Was it not against his better judgment that he agreed to order the mobilisation of the entire Prussian army, so that it is rather a broken reed to lean upon to bid us trust to the pacific inclination of the KING. No doubt the Neue Prussiche declares the KING may have used every endeavour for the maintenance of peace, end during the last few days openly expressed his wishes in this respect ; but still this does not afford any sure indication of peace. In fact it may now be out of the power of Prussia to prevent the out break of a war ; and at any moment a mischance may occur which will convulse Europe and cause a general war. It is, of course, impossible to foretell the future policy of France ; but nowhere do we find it stated that she will be perfectly inactive. The Patrie of last night says that, in the event of war, the duty of the French Government will be plainly be fore them. They must form two corps of observation, one stationed on the Southern frontier, and one on the Rhine. The latter is rather a significant inti mation, and we wonder how long the troops in question will be confined to the special purpose for which they were sent out. At such times many things are of daily occurrence which give rise to alterca tion, and cause angry feelings, and no doubt some offence committed by the haughty and irascible BISMARCK will soon after the outbreak of war afford very good grounds for the hostility of France. If affairs remain in the indefinite state in which they now are until after the fresh elections take place, it may yet be that Prussia will give in at the eleventh hour, and consent to make reasonable terms. The opinion of the Prussian people has already been given pretty plainly respecting the war now in question, and we have no doubt that the result of the appeal made to the nation will be that a complete negative will be put upon the war. The more we dwell upon the present lamentable state of things on the Continent, the more we have cause to deplore the conduct of affairs two years ago. The very unequal course pursued by our Government has been the chief cause of the present disastrous state of affairs, and mainly contributed to all that has since occurred of an unpropitious nature in Ger many. The forty millions of Germans, whose mere mention caused so much disquietude in certain quarters some time ago, will now find plenty of occupation in keeping each other in order, and in proceeding to extremities, and having recourse to war, all the more to be dreaded, because it will be entered upon with no definite aim or object, and may be prolonged while the mutual feelings which gave it rise are indulged in. The arrival of the Persia from New York on the 2d brings us intelligence of some importance. We have at length the substance of the Report of the Reconstruction Committee, and it fully confirms the worst anticipations. So thoroughly does it carry out the views of the extreme Radicals that we should hope it must defeat itself, since the common sense of the country can hardly endorse its provi sions. It is currently reported, and the rumour bears every appearance of probability, that the Cabinet held a special meeting on the Ist of May to consider the Report, and that all the members, with the solitary exception of Mr. HARLAN, strongly dis approved of it, and declared themselves in favour of the PRESIDENT'S plan of reconstruction. Cer tainly the two methods are very different, and could scarcely fail to produce the most opposite results. The PRESIDENT, as we know, insists upon the un conditional abolition of slavery and the declaration of loyalty to the Union, and when these principal points are granted, and proper protection provided for the freedmen, he is ready at once to restore the supremacy of civil laws, to admit the States to repre sentation on the sole condition of their returning loyal members, and to assist by every constitutional means in his power the restoration of public con , fidence and commercial enterprise. The Radicals, on the other hand, establish a voting population as the basis of representation, disfranchise as Federal electors until 1870 all who voluntarily engaged is the rebellion, and declare that all civil officers and foreign officers of the Confederacy, all mili tary officers above the rank of colonel, all naval officers above the rank of master; and persons educated at the national academies who favoured the rebellion, are henceforward ineligible to hold any Federal office. Such provisions are very ill calculated to reconcile the 1 Southern people to the failure of their struggle for independence, and can only result in prolonging disaffection and a sense of irritation which does no good to the country at large. A further specimen of the benevolent intentions of the Radicals has been given in a resolution calling for the immediate trial of Mr. DAVLS for treason and other crimes, and his execution, if convicted. The American people are not very likely to allow such a national disgrace to be inflicted on them by any party, but we hope that the PRESIDENT may soon see his way to release Mr. DAVIS from his long captivity since it is reported that his health is rapidly failing. The prolonged confinement and anxiety, added to the cares and excitement of the preceding four or five years, and the sudden shock of the collapse of the Confederacy, would be indeed sufficient to break down the strongest constitution ; but we have little doubt that if Mr. JOHNSON feels secure enough to give renewed offence to the Radicals, he will not long delay the much-wished-for relief to the weary prisoner. An instance of the impartiality and justice of parties in the North has been given in the refusal of the Senate to listen to the reiterated charge against Gen. SHERMAN of having wilfully burned Columbia. Perhaps it is better, under the circumstances, to leave the bygones of the war alone; but if so, why is not the same allowance made for the South? The friends of American progress and constitu tional liberty must watch with impatience for some considerable change in the position of parties. So long as the Radicals, led on by Messrs. STEVENS, SUMNER, and Co., retain their present numerical superiority in the Congress, so long will the condi tion of the country be unsettled and precarious. It is not only the fate of the Southern States which trembles in the balance, but it is the whole future of Republicanism in America. If the North seriously attempts to keep the Southern States in military subjection, the story of the Union will be a short one. When Republicanism passes from demo cracy into despotism, it is inevitably doomed ; and before long the tyranny of the clique, the party, or the tribune, passes into the sudden supremacy of some military or political chief. The abuse of martial power will lead to armed re sistance, and the vast confederation of the West will break up into two or three monarchies or em- pires, and remain a warning to all unscrupulous partisans of the mischief which can be brought about by a selfish and recl4ess band of politicians, even though they conceal their interested aims under the pretexts of humanity and freedom. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Friday Evening. The telegrams and private letters in the Paris papers to-day are so contradictory that it is diffi cult to form an accurate judgment respecting them. Some say that war is certain. Others assert that there are reasonable prospects of peace. What is certain is, that the royal decree signed by Victor Emmanuel placing, for the moment, a corps of Ita lian volunteers under the command of Garibaldi, has given great offence to Austria. The corps is to consist of twenty battalions. They have engaged for one year only, so that, if war should be averted, these men will soon re turn to their homes. It is stated on the Bourse to-day that when the Austrian Government became aware that an authorised command of troops had been given to Garibaldi it immediately issued a declaration of war against Italy. Perhaps this may only be a Bourse report, but to-day we have been inundated with warlike and improbable rumours. Among the other reports of the day, it is said that should Austria really declare war against Italy the treaty for the withdrawal of the French troops from Rome will not be carried into effect. The Temps says it has doubt upon the point, but the Siecle expresses its conviction that there will be no infraction of the treaty. The JOU? nal, des Debats, commenting upon the proposition made to the Diet at Frankfort by Saxony, says:—" By the adoption of the proposal made by Saxony, the Diet pronounced itself openly against Prussia, and really unanimously, Prussia having only two votes in her favour, those of Elec toral Hesse and Oldenburg, two of the smallest States of the Confederatibn. It is very doubtful, however, whether Prussia will care much about the attitude assumed by the Diet. The speech of her representative at the Diet at the same sitting may be considered as one of open defiance." The " bulletin" of the Moniteur, or what we call the first leading article, does not throw any light upon the existing crisis in Germany. The races at Lyons on Sunday were attended with very lamentable results. Six officers took part in them. One of the horses fell, and the other horses were precipitated to the ground. The officer who rode the first horse, M. Moussy, sub-lieutenant of the 6th Lancers, was killed upon the spot; and M. Riquet, lieutenant in the 7th Lancers, died from the injuries he received in the course of the even ing. If anything could add bitterness to the cala mity, it is the fact that the races took place in sup port of one of the charitable institutions of Lyons. The Constitutionnel, in its review of the opinions of the English newspapers, says that most of them are in favour of neutrality. It adds, however— " The Sun deplores the manner—the unworthy manner—in which this neutrality has been carried out. The part played by England appears to The Sun to be pitiful and failing in the influence which England has heretofore exercised." The Austrian Gazette, the official organ of that empire, says :—" While we admit that the danger of war is imminent, yet if the assurances given by Prussia and Italy, that they have not the intention to make the first attack, are as serious and sincere as those given by Austria, there is still some hope of the preservation of peace in spite of the increase of the armaments. A writer in the Siecle, who says he knows Blind, the alleged father of the attempted assassin of M. Bismark, very well, denies the statements made both by the Paris and London papers, and promises some authentic particulars respecting him. The fine weather is gone again for the moment. It has rained heavily almost all day, and the baro meter indicates stormy and unsettled results for the present. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. NOTTINGHAM. The sheriff made an official announcement of the poll yesterday morning in front of the Exchange. The numbers were—Osborne, 2,518 ; Amberley, 2,494 ; Jenkinson, 2,411 ; Cossham, 2,307 ; Faulk ner, 3. Lady Amberley and other ladies were on the hustings, and party colours were again displayed. As the sheriff proclaimed the state of the poll there was a good deal of cheering and uproar. The num bers given to Mr. Bernal Osborne were received with great applause, and when the hon. gentleman came forward to address the thousands who had as sembled, he was received with tremendous cheering and some groans. Mr. OSBORIsTE, in the course of his address, said the working men had a right to .the franchise, and were as well to be trusted as the middla classes. (Cheers.) The best Reform Bill, however, was the best " passable " bill, and he should support the present bill in Parliament—(cheers)--and also the bill for the redistribution of seats. Lord A3IBERLEY was received with cheers and hisses. He rejoiced so far in the result of the elec tion, but he confessed that he was sorry that they had not joined with him a gentleman who would have been a zealous and earnest supporter of the Liberal cause. (Cheers.) He acknowledged the Conservatives had obtained a partial victory, yet it was a victory of a very doubtful character. They had strained every nerve in this election, and what had been the result of their exertions ? They had succeeded in obtaining the return of a liberal. He was very sorry he could not hear all the speech just made by Mr. Osborne, but one thing he heard was, that he was an independent Liberal. That was his (Lord Amberley's) own position. (Cheers.) He was also an independent Liberal, and although they had not stood together in this contest, he be lieved they would both support liberal measures in Parliament, and he hoped also they should be able to work together in everything that concerned the interests of Nottingham and the country at large. Sir G. JENKINSON said he did not like to leave Nottingham without stating that he was proud of the manner in which the election fight had been conducted by the independent men of the borough. (Loud cheers.) Mr. H. COSSHAM thought that the 2,307 votes which he had received had fully justified him in coming forward for Nottingham. The fact that not one man had been paid was an answer to the calumny that he came there to disturb the Liberal party ; and although defeated he was not disgraced. (Cheers.) He wished to pour oil on the troubled waters, and hoped that all differences would be set tled. If he felt any regret at the issue of the con test, it was not because he was not their member, but it was that, in his person, Liberalism had been, to some extent, defeated. (Cheers.) Mr. FAULKNER also spoke amidst ironical cheers, and a vote of thanks to the sheriff concluded the proceedings. lIENLEY-ON-THAMES ROYAL REGATTA. Hitherto there have been occasions when the Henley Regatta committee have had much trouble in select ing such clays for their annual meeting as would suit the convenience of the majority of those who take part in it, but their task has been easy this year, and the 20th and 21st of Juno have been fixed upon for this meeting of gentlemen amateurs, when the usual valuable prizes will be offered for competition, and boats from both universi ties and of the Kingston, London, Eton, and Radley Row ing Clubs are looked upon as certain to bo entered, as the time for the regatta is admirably suited for all parties, and there is but little doubt that it will this year be a brilliant gathering. AN EX-POLICE SERGEANT CHARGED WITH ROB BING A POLICE - STATION.—On Thursday, at the Liverpool Police-court, an ex-poli c e sergeant of the county con stabulary, named U nswort h , was c h arge d with stealing three roulette tabl es f rom t h e po li ce - s t a ti on at Bootle. It appeared that the tables had been confiscated from persons found guilty of gambling. They were missed from the station in 1864, and Captain Martin received information that the prisoner had caused them to be pawned. He ac cordingly caused him to be arrested. Evidence of the pawning by the prisoner's direction having been given he was remanded, bail being refused. A woman named Car michael was also remanded on bail, on the charge of having received tivy of the tables. LA TEST INTELLIGENCE (REUTER'S TELEGRAM.) ITALY. FLORENCE, MAY 12. In yesterday's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies the first article of the financial laws was agreed to. A Royal decree has been issued announcing the regulations under which officers will be admitted to the command of Volunteer Corps. IVIUNICII, MAY 12. Cantonments are to be erected at Lechfelde, and near Nurnberg, for two divisions of the Bavarian army. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, MAY 12. Hopes are still entertained in some quarters for the maintenance of peace, probably on the ground that Austria will make some concessions. It is believed that no formal treaty has yet been concluded between Prussia and Italy. WURTEMBERG. STUTTGARD, MAY 12. The Diet of Wurtemberg has been convoked for the 13th of May. The Bth Federal Army Corps will be concentrated at Muhlacker. DARMSTADT, MAY 12. The army of . Hesse Daimstadt has been placed upon a war footing. FRANKFORT, MAY 12. The first sitting of the Committee of nine in the Federal Diet was held yesterday. The majority of the members will report in favour of the principle of reform, but will demand that Prussia shall make known the details of her proposals and particularly the electoral law for the Constitution of a German Parliament. THE BOMBARDMENT OF VALPARAISO. NEW YORK, May 2. Advices received here from the Pacific announce that the Spanish fleet bombarded Valparaiso for six hours on the 31st of March. Non-combatants received four days' notice to withdraw. The Custom-house stores, containing a large amount of property belonging to British, French, and American merchants, and other property, was destroyed. The damage done is variously estimated at from $9,000,000 to $20,000,000. Few lives were lost. Mr. Fitzpatrick, the American Minister, sent a protest to Admiral Nunez against the bombardment. It is reported that he also proposed, without suc cess, that the British, French, and American fleets should forcibly prevent the bombardment. It was understood that the Spaniards will now bombard Coquimbo, Callao, and other ports of Chili and Peru. TURKEY. Constantinople letters and journals to the 2d have reached us. The Duke of Norfolk had arrived by the Marseilles steamer on a visit to his uncle Lord Lyon. The ambassador and his grace purpose making a tour to Broussa. The Levant Herald pub lishes the following :—" A Vienna journal an nounces that the 3d Corps d'Armee commanded by Omer Pasha, and the head-quarters of which are at Monastir, has been placed upon a war footing, with a view to enventualities on the Danube. The state mentis inexact, but the Schumla division is to be further reinforced by a couple of batteries of artil lery, and two regiments of Zouaves." Subjoined are some items of general intelligence :—" Mehemet Ali Pasha has presented to the Sultan a splendid set of writing materials, worth 1,000,000 p., and to the young Prince Yussufeddin a ring valued at 750,000 p. Prince Frederick of Hohenzollern, the brother of the elect.. of Moldo-Wallachia, who has been in Pera for some days past on a tour from the south, has been received by the Sultan. A recent letter from St. Petersburg states that Conemenos Bey, the Ottoman Chargé d'Affaires at the Russian court, has had a special audience of the Czarewitch, at which he presented to his Imperial Highness, on the part of the Sultan, the insignia of the Osmanie of the first class set in diamonds.—lt is due to the new Capitan Pasha, Mehemet Ali Pacha, to say that his return to the Admiralty has been hailed with very general satisfaction. During the week he has received congratulatory visits from most of the members of the diplomatic body, and from the leading foreign merchants and residents of the capi tal. The merchants especially regard his reappoint ment as a boon, contract-transactions with his pre decessor having become almost impossible from failure of payment for the goods delivered to the department. A host of arrear accounts accord ingly stand for settlement, and these the new func tionary is rapidly marshalling, with a view to exa mination and payment. He has also restored to their places a number of English and other employes whom Halil Pasha had dismissed.— The Greek Patriarch, attended by the members of the Holy Synod, officiated at a high mass and Te Deum in the Greek church, Pera, in thanks giving for the Emperor Alexander ll.'s recent escape from assassination. General Iguatieff and the whole of the Russian legation and the Consulate-General, as also all the leading Rus sian residents of the capital, were present. A tele gram received from Florence recalls the Italian gun boats in the Bosphorus and at Sulina, with a view to active service. The Gulnare will leave the Horn at once, and the Sirene will follow without delay from the Black Sea. Similar orders of recall have, it•is said, been addressed to all ships of the Italian navy now absent from the national waters. A feat of juvenile courage and perseverance has just been accomplished by a French boy of thirteen. Three months ago, dissatisfied with his treatment by an uncle in Paris, he started from the lattei capital with 60fr. in his pockets, to go to his mother, who is married to a second husband, a French workman, in the employ of the Shah of Persia, at Teheran. With the aid of a map and guide-book, the little adventurer tramped right across Europe, receiving such hospitality by the way that, on reaching Con stantinople last week, he had still nearly half his francs remaining. After a short rest in Pera, he crossed the Bosphorus, en route for Persia, but a little beyond Scutari was stopped by some Turkish policemen, and brought back till an interpreter was found. His story being thus learned, he was sent to Pera and placed in charge of the French Consul, in whose custody he now is, unable to understand why he should be interfered with, and angrily impatient to pursue his journey. A measure which, if cir cumstances permit its being carried into effect, will be of considerable economic importance, has just been decided on by the Porte. It is—to grant fur loughs, to the extent of a sixth of the whole army, to those of the troops who have completed four years' service. The men so to be released will of course receive neither pay nor rations whilst absent from their regiments, whilst they will be available, if required, within 20 days after recall to the depots by telegraph. Ti►e application of the new provin cial property tax, on the basis of Subhi Bey's cada stral surveys, has just extended to the pashalios of Trebizond, Erzeroum, Angora, and Sivas. The amount of the tax is 7 per 1,000 in the case of pro perty occupied by others than the owner, 4 of which is to be reckoned on the actual value of the house or land, and 3 upon the rent. Where owner and occu pier are the same person, only the 4 per 1,000 will be taken. The tax is also to be applied to the Archipelago, for which a surveying commission will shortly leave the capital. To complete the mea sure, it remains only to extend it to the provinces of Kharpout, Kurdistan, and Bagdad." FRANCE. BOURSE, May 11, Two o'clock.—The Bank of France—adopting the precautionary menureg, al ready taken by other countries—has just raised its rate of discount to four per cent., and to four-and a-half per cent. for loans. This announcement, however, in the presence of rumours more or less credited that efforts are being made by the Euro pean Powers for the peaceful solution of the Ger man difficulty, has hitherto had no adverse effect on the market, which exhibits an improved feeling at somewhat better rates.

Roman The Panic in the City. P 57 50 In the city this morning there is a manifest abate ment of the panic. No additional failures have been made public, and the banking quarters, which were so crowded throughout the whole of yesterday, had began to assume their wonted quietude. This is especially the case in Lombard-street, Birchin line, and Bartholomew-lane, where most of the intense excitement of yesterday had prevailed. The action of the Government in suspending the operation of the Bank Charter Act appears greatly to have allayed the general anxiety and apprehen sion, so far as can yet be ascertained, and we may hope that the crisis has reached its worst point. The Directors of the Bank of England have this day raised their rate of discount from 9 to 10 per cent. - It was generally expected in the course of yester day that the suspension of Messrs. Peto and Betts would have to be made public. When, therefore, it was intimated it occasioned no surprise. There were, however, at the same time deep expressions of sympathy for the partners. The suspension of Overend, Gurney, and Co., and the gradual liqui dation of the Imperial Mercantile Credit Associa tion, have impeded the financial arrangements of the firm, and consequently it has very wisely been determined to arrange for a temporary stoppage. A private meeting of the friends of Sir S. Morton Peto took place to-day, when subscriptions were offered to the extent of £500,000 on his behalf, to assist him through his difficulty, but they were declined, because it was not thought advisable to proceed in the existing state of affairs. The debts and liabilities, it is stated, are about £4,000,000, of which about £3,800,000, are amply secured, with margins, and the remaining £200,000 represent acceptances and accounts for current supplies. It is asserted that all the works which the firm con tracted for are in a very forward state, and that arrangements will be at once made for their due completion. In England nearly all the contracts have been undertaken jointly with other powerful contractors ; the progress of these works will, there fore, not be interfered with. 9, Great George-steeet, Westminster, May 11. We much regret to find ourselves under the painful necessity of allowing our acceptances to be returned owing wholly to the disappointment of the arrangements we had made for their provision, which have been defeated by the unexpected turn which has taken place in the money mar ket within the last few days. We have considered it to be the most expedient course in the interst of all parties that for the present we should make no further payments, and await the subsidence of the financial panic now prevailing; but we are enabled to state that having submitted a state ment of our affairs to Mr. J. E. Coleman so lately as the 23d of last month, we then possessed a clear balance of upwards of £1,000,000, estimating our various properties at their then depreciated value. Our position now Is but slightly changed, and we have, therefore, only to solicit forbearance on the part of those who hold our engage ments ; and we trust i n a very s h or t time to submit through Messrs. Coleman, Turquand, and Co., a satisfac tory proposal for the adjustment and discharge of all our liabilities.—We remain your obedient servants, PETO and BETTS. Another railway contractor failed to-day, viz., Mr. W. Shrimpton, of Westminster, whose liabili ties exceed £200,000. The assets will depend upon realisatiOn. The accounts have been placed in the hands of Mr. Wm. Moates. As showing the position which some of the finan cial companies have assumed, n otwithstanding the attempts of the operators for the fall to create an impression that they are all unsound, the following notice has been issued by the International Finan cial Society (Limited) : International Financial Society (Limited) 60, Threadneedle-street, London, May 11, 1866. The directors give notice that all acceptances of this society will be paid under discount at the Bank of England rate if presented within one week from this date. By order, (Signed) W. A. MICHAEL, Secretary. Towards the close of the afternoon it was an nounced, in regular form, that the English Joint Stock Bank (Limited) had suspended payment. The establishment possessed thirty branches, and the debts and liabilities represent about £BOO,OOO, the assets being quite equal to the amount. The bank was established in March, 1864, having previously been the South-Eastern Banking Company, and later it absorbed the business and premises of Messrs. Rogers, Olding, and Co. It has paid a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent., and the reserve fund was last stated at £6,000. The London and County Bank rendered them a day or two ago a little temporary assistance, and this morning several accounts came to the establishment. 'the following is the circular issued to the shareholders : English Joint-stock Bank (Limited),, • 29, Clement's-lane, London, E.C., May 11, 1866. Sir,—ln consequence of the severe monetary crisis the directors regret to announce that they have found•it neces sary to suspend payment. This step has been taken, after due deliberation, as being the most conducive to the inte rest of all parties. Messrs. Kemp, Carman, Ford, and Co. are engaged in preparing a statement of affairs, to be laid before the shareholders at the earliest possible date. I am, sir, &c., W. WALTER, Secretary. Although this announcement has been sent out, it appears, endeavours will he made to resuscitate the business, and by the annexed circular it will be per ceived a meeting is to be held at the London Tavern on Monday next for this purpose :- 29, Clement's-lane, Lombard-street, London, E.C. May 11, 1866. Sir, —ln compliance with the desire of several large shareholders, a meeting will be held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, on Monday next, the 14th inst., at one o'clock, to consider what steps shall bo taken to enable the bank to resume business.—l am, sir, &c., W. WALTER, Secretary. The excitement in the City yesterday, consequent on the monetary crisis, was almost indescribable. There has probably been nothing like it within living memory. Certainly that which prevailed during the last panic of the kind, in the autumn of 1857, when the Western Bank of Scotland and four other great provincial banks stopped payment, with a great number of private firms, was not equal to the feeling of anxiety and suspense which yesterday appeared everywhere to exist. We are referring now only to the out-of-door symptoms, and the general appearance of the streets, especially in the banking quarters of the city. From about 10 o'clock in the morning, by which time the failure of Messrs. 0 verend, Gurney, and Co. had become widely known, there was a marked influx of people, far o beyond the ordinary community of busi ness men all classes, and in Lombard-street, Birchin-lan : and the neighbou r hood of the Royal Excha n g e, reste less crowds were collected during the whole For some hours in the height of the clay Lombarc,i_ • street and Birchin-lane, from both of w hich the an premises of Overend, Gurney, an d Co. have an entrance, were all but impassable, and the services of an additional body of policemen were brought into requisition to facilitate the traffic and to 1 13 a! n. tain order. The prevailing excitement greatly 4 creased when it became known that the 1 7,13 g 1 , Joint Stock Bank in Clement's-lane, had temporarti;y, suspended paymept. In Bartholomew's bury, and Princes-street, there was also an u hus , bustle throughout the day. Altogether, for reasons, the occasion and the day will probably the: long remembered in the city of London ,as Black Friday. ; ted on -lane, Loual At Liverool the alarm which had existed on 'Change fors ome days reached a climax yesterday on the confirmed announcement of 0 verend, G urneT , and Co.'s suspension. Rumours of difficulties local mercantile circles and the advance of the r ate of discount added to the excitement. The effectbose on the cotton market was n o t so severe as m i g ht . os e been anticipated, but in the share market business was perfectly paralysed, and one or two temper 7 suspensions were announced. The sugg estion of the City Article of the Times that a deputa tion Chancellors leading firms should wa it u p o n the Cha the Exchequer with a request for relief led to a nd hope that such a course s h ou ld be adopted, f to when the news arri ve d f or the suspension ° ine . Bank Act it was received with cheers. Th e I— ,- diate effect of this intelligence was to restore cone fidence, and at the close of business a m uch rn o cheerful tone prevailed. During the day fi ve or haf e London banks were positively reported t e no n shut their doors, and this occasioned a slight run one one or two of the local establishments, however, promptly met. & sea At Manchester the ma r ket w as perfectly Par - • e of yesterday morning, owing to the intell i g en •ro Overend, Gurney, and C o . h av i ng s uspended' I dccl the later news of the after n oo n , both as r e g ar , rumoured assistance to Messrs. Overend and i co i e and of extended po w e r s to th e Bank of E n g a np ie there was a considerable recovery, and P A 4 O - breathed more freely, tho ug h the r e was littl e "Ti e rs sition to do business. -In shipping yarns the O r dea making yesterday morning could only b e regntheo as ridiculous, buyers in some cases basing and upon cotton as low as 9d. per lb. Spinner s n n d such circumstances did not attempt busin ess ' t heit many of them thought it advisable to withdravi jet stocks. Very little disposition was shown, i f r t he either by buyers or sellers to do business unueote panic feeling of the hour. I n th e afternoon nl" tions advanced to the point they were at on the vious day, but nothi ng d o i ng , an d much u— ,nore prevailed. In home trade yarns there was rath er i ro o disposition to operate, and prices h a d recover ed r iot the great fall of the morning. In the cloth -ma in the morning the panic feeli n g w as quite as st ute r r as in any branch of business. Some manuf set hat were willing to make considerable concessions, a ny buyers were indisposed to purchase almost e n 0 0 reasonable terms. Business closed in the byea 00 with more confidence, tho ug h there had business of any moment throughout the day' over• In consequence of the stoppage of Messrsv. end, Gurney, and Co., the bank of the " -- , v r alli Joint-stock Bank Company (Limited), g en- he io, known as Hart and Fellowes' Bank, yesterday morning temporarily suspended 1 331 ,,, 131 1 10 The intelligence of the suspension in Londe c i ie r received at Norwich on Thursday evening, an Di terday morning the following notice was P es Messrs.
