The Banks have Refused 10 Resxme-7He RAssos--
The Probable Consequences -Syocks Pardon Of
Messenger, &e.
Thousands of our citizens rose this morning with
the expectation that their demands against the banks
would be met in COIN They were, however, for
the forteth time disappointed in this. Not one Of
the city or country banks has resumed specie pay
ments, nor in any manner paid the slightest re -
spect to the recently passed resumption law.
The reason given by such banks as do not claim
exemption under the eReief'' law 10, that the law
requiring resumption has not yet been officially pro-
mulged. The banks that have issued Relief" nsse-
indicate very unequivocaly that they do not mean
to pay the slightest respect to the law, and have eli
day continued their business as heretofore.
There is much evaporation among the people,.
more than have seen svinc.d here against the
banks for some time, and should not be surprised
to see the slightest opportunity embraced to vieit
their indignation against The banks 70 more tang
sistance Of law, haa lost them all the little sympa-.
| thy tharthey have previously had.
Large numbers OF persons are running to and
cussed, is that of resumption. Every bank has been
tried, and none Of them have been found respect
the law Some two or three Of those that have out
| promises to pay on demand. redeem them a. they
have done for months, but act differently from
what they did before the passage Of The law.

The American consul, who certainly cannot BE An
American, Perenptorily refused his assissanee or

Capt Price, Of the FL xabeth. Four or 1--WE Ane-

RrHAHKs.-If this be true the American Consul
referred to ougbt instantly to be recalled. Oar
countrymen abroad are permitted to be iDsatsd too
often by pusillanmous consuls. Oae or two should
be recalled az example.
