IMPORTANT NEWS.

r. ). Our community thrown into a high
state of excitement about o'clock this afternoon by
the rumor being spread abroad that the u. S. Bank
had again suspended specie payments. The rumor
was not at first credited but long il seemed to be
confirmed. understand the fact to be that one draft
OF 100000, another of $4,000 and perhaps other
smaller ones, made on the Bank for specie from
New York. and that drafts of this kind have been of
almost daily occurrence since the resumption of spe-
Gle payments. 1t is understood that meetingof the
Directors of the different Banks will take place this
evening" to determine upon the course to be pursued
The stock Of this Bank will doubtless take rapid de-
cline in consequence of this event. and other stocks
will probably be seriously affected by it.
2. p. S. Nine o'clock, p. M The Directors of
the City and County Banks have held meeting, and
resovedto continue specie payments, regardless OF the
stoppage of the U. S. Bank. The exchange is at
this moment crowded. The resolution of the Banks
to go greatly relieves the anxiety which prevailed
1t is said the s. Bank has paid out, in specie and
eastern and foreign drafts screen millions of dollars
since she resumed. KY
