BANK OF CsLuMBlA.-The New York Jour-

lumbis, a, Hud,on, N Y. suspended the pay
men, of its notes on Thursday last There had
been some unfavorable rumors in Wall street,
for short time previous, in consequence of
the bills which had accumulated in the hands
of brokers', no being redeemed with the usual
puucluaity. The brokers had therefore r. fus.
ed 10 make further purchases, and sent up
their bundles to the bank. The amount
was so large, that on a sudden meeting
Of the Directors, the above alternative was
resolved upon. Funds we're offered 10 the
Directors TO meet the emergency, but declined,
as there was not time for IN investigation Of al
fairs, though The Board expressed themselves
confidently that there was property snficien. to
paw every Thing. No important losses are
mentioned as having brought the Bark TO this
condition. The President and Directors possess
he confidence Of the community, and will no
doubt make an honest appropriation OF the
property in their hands.
