Wc regret to say that intelligence was received here yes-

able banking firm of 3lessra. Prodgers, Ludlow. 3lessrs.
Prodgers drew upon the house of Marsh, ttraharn, Stra-
Fauntleroy, and Co. and upon the failure of that can-
cern, they experience:l, as did most of the provincial
banks connected with it, a very severe run. This they
withstood, and the prompt manner in which they satisfied
every demand upon that occasion, restored them in the
puthlic
couidenec. The exact cause of their being coin-
pellet! to the present painful step of suspending their pay-
ments is not understood (we have heard it attributed to
their being unexpectedly called upon to refund a large sum
of trust looney which they held in their hands, before time
Intl been allowc I them to recover from the consequences of
the run), but, from the known integrity of the house, and
the reputed opulence of its members, we trust it will be
found that its difficulties are only tempuury.—Weireecter
