AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE CITY OF WASHINGTON

The screw-steamer City of Washingt.m, which
sailed from New Yurk on the 15th inst., arrived here
last night. She reports having, on the 16th Oct„
at 6:30 a.m., signalized the American ship Jacob A.
Westervelt, bound west; and at 7 a m., the mil
steamer As* bound west ; on the 21th Oct , at
7 20 a.m., signalized the British ship Wandsworth,
bound west.
The interesting portions of the news are entirely
in relation to the bank panic at New York and else-
where. The new order of businesss through the
banks of the city of New Y3rk, rendered necessary
and convenient by the stoppage of specie payments
on the 14th, was inaugurated on that even-
ing by the following proceedings. The banks
recognize the notes of all the solvent banks of the
City and State of New York as part of the basis of
what are to be known, in ordinary dealings, as
Current Funds. These and the certified checks of
the bank dealers, payable in Current Funds as well
as Gold and Treasury drafts, at the option of the
bank holding either or all, will be employed in 'he
adjustment of the daily balances growing out of
the inter-exchanges through the Clearing House.
The Bank of America will continue to hold the key
to the common vault in which the specie of the
Associate 1 Banks is held, and represented by
certificate. and the Metropolitan Bank, it is under-
stood, will be made the common depository of the
country bank notes belonging to the Association,
and these also•will be represented by certificates.
The new arrangement will extend to all country
bank paper secured at Albany, and to such regis-
tered notes of the old Safety Fund banks as the
Committee of Management on this subject, aided
by the experience of the Metropolitan system, shall
designate.

At a meeting of the bank offi.,ers, held at the
Clewing hluse, On th- evening of the 14*11, the
following res)lutions was aloive I without dis-
sent

RESOLVED—That we will take, at par, notes of banks
on the State of New York, secured in the bank depart-
ment, at Albany, and also bills of such safety fund banks
as may be designated, from tire: to time, on deposit 3
from our' customers only, and in payment of notes due
onr banks, respectively.
That we will ree..iva or pay balancli at the Clearing-
house, in such notes, the same being counted, enveloped,
tied. and sealed, with the amount certified on the parcel
whenever the sum shall exceed 1,000 dollars, provided the
same be certified by an officer appointed by the Clearing
House Association.

A committee of three wa3 appointed to are mge the
details of the plan which i 3 to go in'o operation imme-
diately.

The, New York Times thus remaz ki upon the
above movement :

Under the circumstances in which the Ranks are placed
by the suspension of yesterday, the condition of the Money
market, and the trade necessPirs of the coryrry, the plan
is not only the beet for equalizing the Neiv Ye k Oarrency,
but. appears admi,able in its arrargement as equalizing the
risk and burden of receiving, carri ing and exchanging the
c.iuntry eircu'ation among the City Banks. We have
reason to believe that it was rornpred mainly by a desire to
afford the means to a gradiall expansion of trade facilidea
to the country, and to relief in UP Money mask t here, in
the least exceptionable form, while -th City Banks are
ogler suspension of Spe&e payment,. The new order will
farther c:rmmend itself to popular sati,f,ction as the no-miI-
%IOUS conclusion of the who'c fifty B.nks repres-nted is the
Clearin4--hiuse Cooft-rence tbis evening. It inures also
the integrity of she Clearing-house, itself, which, it was
early sien, ,fter the ocoarrences of yesterday, weal t have
a most difficult office to psrf'rm. unlrsi sine such plan
was fallen upon to simplify the daily sltlernen`.
The Judges d the New York Supreme Court
had adopted and prom ilgated a code of opiaions
in regard to the enforcement of the penalties of
the law against suspend, Banks They agree
that it is for them to wind up the Banks or not,
in the exercise of a sound discretion,—that they
are not to be enj tined unless they are insolvent or
unless an injunction may be necessary to prevent
fraud or injustice,—that a atispensioa of specie-
payments is rot proof of insolvency, and that no
injunction should issue without giving both
parties a hailing, Tha publication of this ()pinion
has reassured the publi-, and will prevent any
attempts to force the. suspended -Banks into

The etreet of the suspension upon the Exchanges
had not been fully seen, when the City of Wash-
ington left. A Ne a, York piper remarks :
We heard of a few thous.in 1 imueda at 103 per cent and
ot other quotations at 105 to 107, hank'ng names. And a
few produce bills; with the shipping decumen's attached,
were done at par, but whether to carry out previous
engagements or not, we could not ascertain. The relief
to the Market, however, is very decided, and the improve-
ment in the rate of exchange is from the new order of
confidence on the Street, and not because of the apprecia-
tion of cold, as compared with current funds. Gold
could not be sold to the brokers better than from 1 to
21 per cent. premium, and there was only a limited market
to supply Custom-house wants and a• few of the banks
that exhausted their supply before three o'clock yesterday.
Several considerable parcels were returned on general de•
posit to the banks, free of premium. Most parties are dis-
appointed at this indifference in the market. As in 1837,
gold went to 13 per cent, premium immediately after the
suspension. A close survey of all the circumstances
attending the present case led us to anticipate yesterday
that gold would be worth in the market not exceeding 3
to 5 per cent. The advice by telegraph that 1,251,000 dots.
is now at hand from California, and the general conviction
to-day that the drain of the last few days on the bulks
was from no popular attachment to gold or a•distrust in
our New York paper currency, but the sudden withdrawal
of confi lence anti mercantile sympathy with the City
Bank management, no doubt infl ience 1 the dullness of
the market. And this will conlinue, unless the S.mtherri
Bulks, particularly at New Or!, ans, hold on to the specie
basis, and gold be required for the 1)11.0-lase of cotton, or
the general adoption of the New Yurk state currency, as
bankable funds should greatly enhance the value of
foreign Ws.

The Boston, Albany, Rochester, and other
Northern "Banks had also suspended. The •tele-
gr,,ph from Boston announces the suspension of
the well known houses of Francis Skinner and CO.,
and Little, Alden, and Co.

The discount maiket,,exeept in.bank,had not yet
taken shape There was not much prime paper
oil'. ring. The failnres have f clan off, w.hether from
a :fual relief, or by reason of tcmporary expelients
to live over a few days in the hope of relief, it
would be diffi !ult to say. We are almost sure,
however, that several impending heavy failures
have been thus far averted The cessation of such
disasters for asfew days mere will, from the present
epinion among the discount brokers, bring down
the rates on good papar very materially. The
se%se cf relief from pani-, if not from leer mo
is (Inie veneral. The sub-trea-ury balance is dowel
t) 5,751,857 dots. The reduelon wnu!d have been

greater but for tho witholding of several large
drafts by the Savings Banks As thee institutions

resolved to pay only in city ha►,k notes hereaft?r,
they will prob ably now re-invest the proceeds of
United States Stocks in other sTorith s.

By way of 14,:w Orleans we leave received a
telegraphic summary of a for night's later news
from theoNorth'an.l South Pacific. The full vote
of California in the recent State election is
aonouncei. Weller (Deinoeral) received a tnnj
of 11 000 votes over both the Republicaa and
Kqow-Nothing candidates. Another fitlibuster
expedition is reported to have been organiz,3,l at
San Diego, and several Am?ricans were arres':el
on suspicion of being implicated therein.
California markets were dull aid the accounts
fecon the mines good.
