New Jersey arrived at Boston on Friday
from Liverpool, whence she sailed on the
25th December, twenty four hours after the
Pennsylpanian arrived al this port. She
however brings no later newspapers, the
day on which she sailed being Sunday. We
find in the Boston Transcript the following
extract of a letter received in the city,

cautioning the public against giving any
weight 10 the statements Of the writer. The
following is the extract:
zone of the largest Banks in England,
having its head at manchester, has Just
stopped payment. Their liabilities are
over FL 500, OOO-say about $7,0O0,OOO.
manchester will be all in an uproar to-mor-
row, when it is known, and half the mer-
chants in this country will be ruined. The
New-York fire was nothing to what this
will be, and you have the first intelligence"
GyIf we are not greatly mistaken, the
London press has already adverted to some
difficulty existing with manchester Joint
stock Bank, and we take this to be another
version of the same story, but whether it be
or not, it is perfect absurdity to say that the
suspension Of their payments by any Man.
chester Bank or manchester House, would
ruin halfthe merchants of Lancashire. No
one acquainted with the county, or with
the manner of doing business there, will
believe this one moment, and we have no
doubt the statement proceeds from one,
alike ignorant of both. ~ Y. Cour. q. Eng.
