The attention of those interested IN American secu
rites has atterly been anxousy directed TO the APP
preaching nsalment Of the u. S. Bank for t1oo,ooo
which alls due Thursday, account OF moneys DOT
| rowed from various banking firms and capitalists on
the deposit Of State stocks and bank shares, the repay
ments of which were be effected at stated periods
The recent failure of the bank itself TO resume specie
payments in Phladelp ha, and to redeem It's current
paper circulation and post notes, with the ceporate
exhibit of its general affairs, which upon TIE lace OF lis
own balance sheet was equal TO declaration OF COM
pete insolvency, were quite enough, 1t might be
thouoL 10 satisfy of business that so far as the
pa yinent of the nstamen depended on facilities Tor
raising more money either here or in the U. s., there
could be the slightest hope. And so the result las
proved. ~
Ii is understood chat he post notes for the f4oo
900, cannot be taken up, but that interest upon the
amount, at the rate of per cent, will be paid or prof.
fered and an additional depose OF t2oOV'W, nominal
value in Pennsylvana State Stocks, placed IN Inc
hands of Messrs Denson " Co, by way OF better Sc
curty for the ultimate satisfaction OF the principal IL
will be remembered that Messrs. Denison q GO. were
constituted trustees Of the large amounts OF State STOCKS
originally deposited in guarantee OF the loan or ad
yances on post notes originally. The London holders
of these notes understood to have acceded to the
e old their claims hui believed that
the greater proportion of the notes representing the
moneys really advanced, in the holding OF bankers
and other capitalists in the country, upon whom they
were aruy fosted at the time through the instrument
taty and strong writing up OF the Bankers Circular
which generally known 10 be the cas-pnw of GER
tain clique Of London bankers, who had more State
stocks and post notes than, good things and bearing
high interest they were, it was found safe or conve
nient TO hold.
However curious the fact may be, is not the less GER
tain, that country bankers generally conceived in
the city to be more gifted with pockets full Of money than
brains full Of wisdom How they will be disposed TO
upon the occasion Of this nonpayment OF post-noes
and advances appears 10 be absolutely ascerlaned
although is easy to discover what other course
they can pursue than follow their bellwether Of the
London tribe, by whom they were cunnng!y betrayed
the scrape An evening paper in abiding to the al
fair of the u. S. Bank nsalment in s money article
takes occasion insinuate that Mr. Jaudon, the re-
spected agent Of the Bank, had escaped all personal
responsibility by taking his departure for the U. s in
the Great Western, which has just taken her departure
First of ALL may be observed the authority of Mr.
Jaudons friends that he has not left the country, but
remains still a resident here. And secondly, whatever
the condition of the u s. Bank, Mr. Jaudon has never
shown himself the shrink from the performance
of duties which must long have been excessively cner
Gus and greatly disagreeable from any responsibility
which may personally attach TO him. II personal re-
spectabty Of character, and personal esteem result
ing could have saved the credit of principal, the L. >
Bank under the agency Of AIR. Juudon, would have
capped its present slate of degradation.
