Where ,cM IL end!-Day after day our
oldest, and strongest, and best conducted
films are giving way before the fearful
pressure OF the times, and when the calami-
ty will be overpast. is moro than we or the
wlsest can tell. The number Of the heavy
suspensions that have taken place since the
day on which the Josephs failed, is now two
hundred and sixty to say nothing Of count
less smaller ones which, in the crash OF mill
ions, are not taken into the account We
have foreborne almost entirely to mention
the names Of those who have been compell-
ed TO yield before the tempest, and shall de-
viate from our rule at present only in sin
gle instance, although there were several
houses suspending yesterday, for which we
should gladly express few words Of sym
patty, could we do so without woundng
their delicacy. Among all the suspensions
IN PeaTlst., we presume none has created
livelier regret than that of the finn OF Ar.
thur Tappan & Co. Ii is one of the oldest
and soundest, and best conducted establish
menis in the city. His name has become
widely known through the country, in con-
nexion with other subjects than those of mer-
chandise; and there have been collisions of
opinion between him and ourselves, which
have created an unpleasant alienation Of feel
ings-not mutual however. so far as we are
concerned. But such things we allow not
to inteTpose in the discharge of moral and
social duties; and we therefore avail our
selves OF the present occasion, to express
our very deep regret that the now but too
common misfortune has overtaken that house,
as well as others Of high character which
we might name
If Mr. Tappan is peculiar in some OF his
views, and eccentric in some Of his opinions,
there is nevertheless, no man who can ques-
ton his high moral worth, and integrity
No merchant deservedy stands higher in
his vocation. and there is probably no one
in New York. who has done more TO ele-
vate the mercantile character than he. If,
on certain delicate questions. he is in the
wrong, his errors are those Of the head and
not Of the heart-for he has not a personal
friend in existence, who more fully believes
in the purity and integrity of his motives
than ourselves. He has been munficent
giyer to the great objects of christian phi
lanthropy, engaging the attention of the
world Tor twenty years past; and when
such men are wrecked in their business, the
TALL is common calamity.
There were two very heavy suspensions
on Monday-seven or eight yesterday
some OF which were very heavy, of high
character. and most unexpected.

There has been great excitement in Wall
street to-day, particularly on account OF the
affairs of the Mechanics Bank. The Presi-
dent and Cashier of that institution had been
quite indiscreet In their loans to great
house ofbrokers which failed some days ago.
These transactions were without the partic-
ular knowledge Of the Directors. and when
things came to be known, it was thought ex-
pedient that the two managing officers should
resign. Their resignation was announced
this morning in the papers, together with the
names OF highly respectable gentlemen 10

posted specie during the run. The crowd
out of doors were composed chiefly OF look

might have joined the attack, if only they
had had bank bills for ammunition. AT
about one o'clock, Mr. Davis, one of the Bank
Commissioners. who had been examining
into the affairs ofthe institution. issued GER
liicale that il was "safe and sound, and that

THE VALLEY RoAp.--We are happy TO learn
that the Commissioners under the act OF the
last session of the Legislature Of this State, APP
propriating money for the survey Of Railroad

Mr. T. is the chief engineer ofthe Hartford and
New Haven Railroad, end made the surveys
for it. 1t must be extremely gratifying to the
friends of this enterprise, SO important to this
State, to know that the survey is to be in the
hands of so able and scientific an Engineer, and
one SO well and so favorably known. II is ex-
pected that he will enter upon his duties about
the middle Of this month, and complete his plans
and estimates in season to be presented to the
Legislature at the next session. We hope the
citizens of the various towns on the route will
manifest their interest in the enterprise, by rem
dering all the assistance in their power, and by
giving the Engineer the benefit of their local
knowledge.

The Legislature of Connecticut convened at
Hartford last week. The Governor recon-
mends in his message an alteration Of the "grab
law" alias, the attaching law, by which one
creditor can at pleasure sieze upon all the prop
erty Of debtor, and leave other more humane
and accommodating ones, TO take what they
can get after his claim, with costs and sacrifi-
ces, is satisfied. We trust the enlightened cit
liens of all the New England States will de-
mand such an alteration generally.
