Our special New York' correspondent's lettei received by the Arabia, is to the followiug effect : TUN BANK PANIC. New York, October 14`11, 1857, 12 o'clock, noon. All our city Banks have suspended specie pay ments this morning. They have agreed to receive checks of each oter on deposit as usual, and receive and pay out their bills. Payments of notes and acceptances, will be received by the Banks, in bills of any of th 3 city Banks. The adoption of the foregoing system, it is thought here, will greatly relieve the business community, by enabling trade to renew its accus tomed activity. ACTION OF THE B'ET3N BANS At a meeting held in Boston this morning, the associated Banks resolved to suspend specie pay mmts, and adopt the course that New York has dons. It is supposed generally, that the entire of the Banks in the United States will be compelled to suspend specie, although up to the present time thi Southrn States are not effected. operations of all kinds and in el channels. The banks of the city having as much as they can to take care of their own payments, are forced to refuse the notes of the country banks of New England and. New York. The brokers also refuse to buy them, and this adds to the confusion befqre prevailing. We have no further advices as to suspension in the South. At Charleston the bank of South Carolina has closed its doors ; also the South Western Railroad bank. Of the former, a correspondent in South Carolina remarks :—" We regret very much the suspension of the State of South Carolina—which has just been announced here, and hope it will not be followed by any other bank in South Carolina. That bank had been for many years regarded as holding a amount of weak, if not bad paper, and has been sustained in the State by party feeling rather than the sober judgment of intelligent business men." At New Orleans and St. Louis the banks are stronger than in any other part of the country, and will, we think, sustain specie payments ; but in other portions of the union—Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, &c.—the banks cannot, in justice to themselves, maintain specie payment, while so many others are under suspension. A specie currency cannot be maintained where a depreciated currency also exists to a large extent. The banks cannot exercise their functions successfully, that is, issue bills freely and discount paper freely, and pay specie, while other States around them are under suspension and drawing continually upon coin reserve.

P. WRIGHT. ATTEMPT TO MURDER A POLICEMAN. For the last two months two men, named Peter O'Brien and Simon O'Brien, brothers, the former in the employment of vinegar manufactory at Battersea, and the latter describing hi r•self as a commercial traveller, 114%4 been remanded from week to week, with out b ail, charged with a most desperate outrage and murderous assault upon polee constable John Whittaker, 303 V, whose life has been during the greater part of the tine in the most imminent danger. At the Westminster police court, on Friday, the prisoners two tall powerful Irishmen—were charged with feloniously assault ing with intent to murder, the constab'e, who appeared suffering from the violence of the desperate assault committed upon him. The constable stated that ou Sunday morning, the 23rd of Aueu,t, a little after twelve o'clock, when he was in Bean'orte street, Chelsea, near Battersea-bridge, when he heard one of the prisoners, who was en the bridge, calling out for any to fight him. He went on the bridge, where a great number of persons had collected. A young man came up to him, and stated that he wanted to give Simon O'Brien in charge, by whom, he sa'cl, he had been assaulted, and who had also attempted to a ng him over the br dge. Complainant told him that as he had no: seen the assault he could not interfere. The prisoner continued to exclaim that he was ready to fi,ht, and complainant endeavoured to persuade him to go away quietly, and not to cause the disturbance he was making. He then went away with Peter O'Brien and some women who we - e with them. Imme lately after, the young man came to him, and spoke to him about not taking the prisoner Simon into custody. While he was speaking to complainant, Peter O'Brien returned, and struck him several times with his fist about his head. One 'of the females then laid hold of his arms, and at the same time Sm'th O'Brien gave him several violent blows upon his heal ant chest. He was kneceed d own hy S moo O'Brien when his back c stne a ~ a'rast tte orb. Peter O'Briaa go• - , ”pon h'm, placed h's kite noon his chest, laid 11-'d of his stock with one hand, and with the other knocked his head 3against Vie pavement. He was on mkei a )out the head and atonic% by him (Simon) so that he was re , dere I inseasible for some time. Whin he recovered he found Mr. Henry, a greengrocer, near him, who desired Peter to let re his stock. Comp'a'.nalt got up, when, as the prisoner had still hold of his sock, they were both forced down by a constable, upon witch comphinant ras released. Mr. Payne In point of (let, he wa endeavouring to strange you ? PoPeemaa : Yes, your worship. Mr. Edward - ear on, a butcher, in business rear B. r sea Brid -e, said that be he ird the uproar on the bridge, an I went the-e. lie saw Elmo t try to fl:n r he man alluded to over the bride. Wit •es sa v the prisoner attack tire polio:man, and witness observe 1, "It is not fair for two Woo to attack one." He fo - ce i Simon to the groand. Simon tried to rise, upon which witness nmarkei, No, you must remain there the colinacome." Farther c orroco orative evidence having been heard, Mr. T. Wren, sn - gene, S'lnay-plae, Onslow-Square, states that the eempla'nent had received some very sermons injuries, and Polite had lost a groat qaaltite . of We , cl' from the • kidneys, lungs, and chest. The fi owing of the blood had only ceased that day. The injuries are the effects of -some great vio!elacs. Mr. Paynter : Po yon consider him now in danger ? Witness': I consider him in great danger. He has been all a'ong; in danger. Sergeant Moore, B 1, proved a former conviction against Simon O'Brien, for an assault on a man and h's wife—for the former offence he was sent for six months to the Home of C meetioa, an I for the latter he was fined £5, or in defeat - , two months' imprisonment. Mr. Paynter asked the prisoners what they had t o say to the claargo. Peter sail that he was so much under the ineuenee of liquor that he did 4kot know what he was doing, an 1 Simon said that he was defending him4f,, as his wife anl chrdron hai bean assaulted. They were both com mittal to Newgato for t ial, bail being reused. THE WATERLOO BRIDGE MYSTERY.

The steamer Atlantic, which was to sail on the same day, had been postponol to the 24th inst. The news is of a most formal character as it contains full particulars of a BANK PANIC AT NEW YORK. The Banks of the City of New York,- by their officers 'assembled at the Clearing House on the night of the 13th instant, resolved to suspend specie payments, and appointed a committee to proceed to Albany and request the Governor to convene the Legislature to consider the necessity ef enacting some law to give relief in the present financial emergency. They also resolved to make the most energetic exertions for the resumption of specie payments at en early day, and recommend that no dividends be made to stockholders until such resumption. The cause of this action on the part of the Banks, was a severe run upon them, which commeneed that morning and continued throughout the day, compelling, during its progress many of their number to succumb to its pressure and placing before the remainder the certainty of the same fete, in the certain renewal of a run still more severe, in ease they opened their doors to admit it. Never, indee 1, says the New York Courier and Enquirer of the 14th instant:— "Never, indeed, in the financial history of New York, was there a more trying and exciting time than yesterdsty. For weeks the merchants of New York he'd fallen in numbers, like so many sacrifices, in the threshold of the Banks, beyond whose iron doors came no response to their appeals; yesterday a multitude, like a Clest , oying army, came do•n on the Banks themselves ' and sacriaced them in turn within the doors which they ha d eodeavoured to bar so strongly. How far the latter was the legitimate result of the former, how far it was in actual revenge of the former, we leave for the reader to determine for himself with the antecedents of the run of yesterda• Wore him. We need not describe this run in its outward features, each one sees the picture though he may not have been in Wall-Street or in the neighbourhood of the up town banks—la street crowded with two distinct classes, the one, thirsting fer gild, crowding iu hundreds the doors of the banks, and forming long lines up the steps and through the balls, with anxious feces, and hands nervously ciutchedfiver their checks and drafts, crowding and jostling; and the other, the lookers-on, crowding the side walks, jokiegand wondering how long the Barks e mild stand the run—such was the picture. Between , the distresses of the merchants who have been called upon to pay when they hcict noi'hing to pay with, and the almost total destruction of e nfidence among the poorer classes of the people, there were chaos and confusion throughout the city. Early in the day there was a simultaneous run up.m the several barks of the city, we believe without a single exception. The Bank of New York, the oldest in New York, one alwa3s liberal to its cus'omers, and especially so during the late contraction, payed out its specie manfully until about one o'clock when it ceased and payed nothing but bank notes and certified checks for the rest of the day. The Leather Manufacturers' Bank payed out also, until , about noon, when it also stopped, although ninety thousand dollars in specie were due it on its ex hangs account in the Clearing House, bat which could not be obtained. And so the run progressed one after another of the banks ceasing to pay specie, and paying bank notes instead, or closing their doors entirey.

Artizans' Bank 60),000 76 000 XIX People's Bank Many of the banks that maintained themselves kept open their doors until late in the afternoon, so as to give a chance to get their specie. Among these were the Bank of America, the Bank of Commerce, and the Bank of the Commonwealth. The Bank of America paid out some 150,000 doll in specie, the Bank of North America 85 000 dole, the Bank of the Commonwealth 90 000 dole, and the payment of specie in all was about in this propartion of .their relative strength The insolvency of the Marine Bank,, we are informed, was averted by a coup de main of friends, scme of whom obtained a writ of injunction upon their proceed cgs. This will come on for trial in its regular course, without any suspension of vitality, or of its charter; and when at the end of the trial the Bank shows its own strength, it may resume business without forfeiture. The run upon the banks was at first merely by a few billholders ; and if they had been ea'isfied there would have been no serious run. On Satur day, for instance, the -directors of the East River B tnk met as usual for discounting, and there was no serious run upon it until the middle of the day. The Bank wanted twenty thousand dollars only,in coin, to sustain themselves; and, in this emergency, applied to several large Banks down town for assistance. These latter instead of making a common cause with the weaker ones, seam'','ermined to break the latter in Order that they may retain tha'r own presumed strength.. .The East River Bank and the Bowry Bankshou'd both have been aided by the stronger Banks, as a matter of, public interest; for it cannot be denied that each failure precipitates that of others by occasioning a loss of confidence. On Monday the approached to several Banks were filled with eager depositors and bill-holders, and the Groce - s' Bank exhausted its specie funds and soon closed its doors. This, too, was unnecessary, if the other banks had rendered assistance, and thereby quieted the excite ment. In a matter of this kind, of general distrust and dread, the banks of the city should have made common cause, and sustained each other; but by allowing one or two to fail, they created distrust of alt Even had this course been pursued, and the whole body of banks good together and made a common fund of their specie, we question whether they 'mull hare enstained the persistent run. Before yesterday the demands were mainly confined to bill-holders ; but this morning the depositors seemed disposed to move in a body and claim their funds. The paper from which we have just quoted the above endeavours to account for this uuexszupled panic. It seys:— There is no difficulty in tracing these dep:orab'ed results immediately to the vacillating course of the Banks (with some few honourable at d praiseworthy exceptions), and indirectly to a combination of unfavourable foreign trade and of unsound banking. We pointed out, two or three week, ago, the then prevailing causes of discontent among our merchants, who were then suffering, as well as now, from an injndicioud curtailment of loans—the want of harmony and consistency in the movements of the Betake, and the necteiity existing for ..a reasonable expansion of Bank loans to those who have payments to make At a meeting of Banks a few days afterwards, all the e things were conceded, and some assurance was given that an increase of loans equivalent to five per cent would promptly take place The mere promise of this extension gave great yelief the next day ; and had it been executed in good faith by every bank in the city, we believe that one-half of the subsequent suspensions among our merchants would have been averted, as well as all the bank failures IN New Yorte AND OUP OF IT. We speak the sentiments of the whole commercial community, when we use this language; and we repeat what we have frequently said in these columns within the past three weeks, that the banks unnecessarily sacrificed the merchants ; and in doing this, they not only weakened themselves but gradually exasperated the merchants as a body. This view of the case has been taken by several of our leadirg bank officers, who have strenuously urged a more liberal course, provided it were adopted by all: but who could not adopt this course without general assent In fact a proposition was submitted by Mr. Withers, of the Bank of the State of New York, to the effect that the Banks ehou'd enlarge fire per cent.—bat this was negatived. The prevalent opinion yesterday was that a few of the old strong Banks combired together to force the maiority into liquidatioe, and thus confine the business to a limited number. In doing this, the smaller Banks were compelled to carted their operations, and in the general restriction, many of our most wealthy, honourable, and useful firms have been sacrificed. We speak within bounds when we say that this course has THIC FUTURE From an article in the New York Courier, of the 14th inst., we extract the following : What resources have we abroad to depend upon ? And what aid can Esrepe give us during the coming year? These questions are of vital importance, and will be asked and answers given in domestic , as well as commercial circles We can best resolve the problem by a consideration of the effect of the panic of 1837 upon our foreign trade. Not that our troubles are as great, but they are of a simil kind ; otherwise the comparison would not hold good. We give some statistics il!ustrating the changes at that time in our foreign trade, and 'rem this we can form some estimate of our foreign trade for the next year : STATEM NT OF TUE FOREIGN coulazacm OF TUE UNITED STATES FOR A SERIES OF YEARS. Years.. ._ Exports. Imports 1836 sl2B 600 000 $190001,000 1840 F. om this we see that the exparts in four years increased frar m;llions, while the Imports decreased eighty three millions, or showing an improvement in our foreign balance of eighty!seven millions of dollars. The reaction that took at that perio I four years to produce, will now be produced in twelve months. The Commerce of the United States for the fiscal year 1856, was as follows : —Exports, 327,000,000 doll ; Im por,g, 315,000,000 dots. The decrease in imports from 1836 to 'lB4O, WAS 48 per cent., and the increase in exports was 3 ner cent. Applying the same per cents ge of increase and decrease to the trade of 1856 our commerce for the present fiscal year would be as follows : Year 1857-58. Exporti 1 mpoz is - • 986,000,000 Bilance in our favour .. Add Californi.ta gold .... 101,000,003 Debt due Eu op 3 Balance 151,000 000 From this we see that if Europe remain solvent the balince dael.l9, after paying the debt which is now due to Europe, will be over One hundred and fifty miltioni, of dollars. This is an under estimate of our exports. The Emperor of France has just issued an edict forbidding the export of grain frisa France. The imports of cotton into Great Britain from India this year will be nominal. Great Britain will want our flour and provisions for her Indian army. Enough has been given to show that our exports must increase, and our imports are • subject to our own control. Europe must have cur cotton and breadstuffs; and India our provisions The gold from California must stay with us. This aid we did not have in 1837, and is in itself alone sufficient to ensure our recovery. The Pennsylvania Legislature, after a discussion occupying several days, atljourned sine die on the 13th ultinio, having passed the. Relief Bill by a majority of 56 ayes to 36 nays. The Governor immediately signed the bill. This bill removes the penalties for suspension until next March ; permits the Banks to dislount and pay out for their own notes at sixty days after March; provides that they must also pay their deposits and 'not declare dividends above six per, cent. ; provides that the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia Banks must publish weekly statements, like New York; provides that all the Banks must receive the notes of other Banks solvent prior to, the suspension ; provides that the President of any B ink making oath that another bank is unworthy of credit, commissioners shall be appointed to examine the effeirs - of such hank, and it it refuses an examination it then foe'e:ts its charter, unless it resumes before the middle of April ; provides that' the State revenues he made payable in the notes off — solvent blinks during the suspension, and that the banks mast redeem the notes thus received for tolls and taxes; provides that all judgments shall have a stay of execuC.on for six months longer than is now allowed, where tke party has a freehold estate ; provides ;lased stay of exe3u'zion shall not be granted for wages and labour ; requires the banks to certify their acceptance of this bid-within thirty days, and to pay one-half of one per cent. for the privilege. A New Orleans despatch dated the Bth instant, pays : The excessive stringency of th 3 money market has cause a farther heavy decline in cotton, and the reduction from the highest point attained is now three and a quarter cents per pound. The sales during the past three days are put down as 6,000 bales, incluling lots of middling at 133. per lb. The range, however, for this grade is 13 to 131 cents. The receipts continue to pbu , in rapidly, and the indicaious are that lower figares . will yet have to be sub mitted to. A despatch from the SlTile city, dated the 12th instant, is as felloNs :—" Th• re are vArious rumours of failures, but none are authenticated. B4siaess unsettled. Money- is tighter, and m Ittt rs generally look gloomy." • The political and general news by this arrival is not of any moment. The cotton crops hive b-sen seriously injured in Texas by the boll worm and early fro3t, and have also•suffered in Alabama and Louisiana by either the worm or the weather. The contestants to the seat of delegate from Nebraska were at WiShington, representing their claims and canvassing for votes. The Hon. Fenner Ferguson, the administration candidate, has the vaerti fi,3lt te. The Hon. J3ird B Chapman, delegate in the late Congress, claims to. have the most votes by several hundreds, and alleges that the return of Judge Ferguson was owin g t o th e votes of Mormons and other non-residents. Mr. Chapman is decided domocrar, and is regarded as friendly to the Hon. S. A. D mglas as a candidate forthe Presidency. This contest is interesting in one view. It shows that already the Mormons have becon3ea political power in the West outside of the Galilee which they chiefly inhabit. They have temporary settlements in. Nebraska, and at two of these cast for Judge Ferguson about 600 votes. What is remarkable about. the Mormons, is, that while nearly all of them are foreigners, quite all of them are democrats—and these two facts are probably the real cause of 'that covert sympathy and tenderness shown for thein during the late and present administration. Private letters received at Washington from the South, by persons who sympathise with Walker's filliliusiering movement, state that . the recruiting business is progressing finely. There were several hundred recruits already at New Orleans. It is further stated that they apprehend no difficulty or hindrance in leaving any of the eouthern ports. as moat of the officers of the government sym pathize with the movement., It is now probable that the present government of Nicaragua will be recognized by the reception of its min'ster, Yrissarri, with a view to the forma tion of a treaty with that republic, to permanently Secure for the United States tha privilege of the Transit route. The ship Sultape, from New York, arrived at New Orleans, reports passing, on the 23rd ult., off the coast of North Caroline, the corpses of four men, and a piece of wreck, supposed to belong to the Central America. COMMERCIAL. NEW YoRK, Oct. 14. The confusion in the streets have been so great that business has been in a large measure neglected. No quotations of foreign or domestic change can be given— the market values of property, of stocks, of produce, &c., are all nominal. The derangement of the currency and of the exchanges interrupts, for the time, commercial CO ['TON. The transactions in cotton in this market are now necessarily so limited, by the trifling stock and continu. ance of the money panic, as to render a report of little or no interest. Some small lots have been sold at about 13c per lb. for Strict Middling. Holders are still shipping the few remaining bales of stock, and but a small quantity is on the way here. Under the circ►crostances, I cannot subdilt any quotations. Toe export for the week has been—to Liverpool, 6,373 bales ; Havre, 100. Total, 6,473 bales. Southern Market's, , under the impossibility of selling, bills oa London, or on New York, have given Was; in price, and we have all kinds of rumours as to what might be done for cash down. In the present state of excite— ment and derangement the value of cotton is entirely nominal, for shou'd our present difficulties continue, the business will be stopped entirely ; or, with a renewal of negooiations, prices would- imene liately react, and, perhaps, go back to those current two weeks ago. Orleans, October 10 : Receipts for the week,' 37,000 bales: same week last year, 51,000. Decrease in receipts at this port compared with last year, 57,000 bales, and at all the Southern ports, 83,000. Sales to-day, 3,000 bales, and for the week, 13,000: market irregular and prices nominal, at 11c per lb. for middling. Exchanges on London and elsewhere unsaleable ; money tighter ; nothing (loin , * in freights. Oct. 12 : The market is further depressed, and some parcels, classing Liverpool middling, hate been forced off at 10c per lb. The English buyers cannot negociate, hence the utter prostration of business. Mobile, October 10 Receipts for theweek, 8,000 bales ; same week last year, 4,000. Sales for the week, 3,000 Stock on hand, 20,000 bales ; middling nominal, at 12ic to 1.2/e per lb. Freight for Liverpool, id. Crop ; The accounts from Georgia and Alabama are still unfavourable for the prospects of the crop. The estimate generally adopted there is 3,000,000 bales. From Texas also we ;have complaints of injury by boll worms and early frost. From the South and South-west the accounts are more encouraging for a fair average crop. The question, however, is still in the future, and will depend upon the date of frost. All agree that the picking season is fully three weeks later than the average. Receipts, Exports, &c : The receipts fall below last year to date. The exports to Great Britain this week are increased by the shipments from first hands of the small stock held in this city. There must now be a serious cessation in the export of cotton to Great Britain for ,many weeks ; indeed,: it seems doubtful how soon it can be reaewed. The trade is completely paralysed, owing to entire inability of banks or hankers to purchase exchange on England, France, or the Continent of Europe.
