ages OF Sl7 900 each. in bills on the Milbury Bank

civ, and charged to their account Of deposites
On Monday, a large quantity of the Millbury bills
came to the Suffolk Bank, 81 as TO exceed the de-
poslle OF the former in he latter; aud the MiIlbury
Bank was accordingly notified TO redeem the ba-
lance The directors of the latter, deeming il i'm.
possible that any great quantity of their circulation
could come into the market, did not take imme-
date measures Tor such a contingency
But as the bills did continue TO flow into the mar
Ret more rapidly than was thought consonant with
the safety of the bank, the Suffolk refused longer
TO redeem them, and notice was accordingly gwen
10 that effect in the papers Of this morning
Yesterday afternoon an express was sent up 10
Mloury IN order 10 ascertain the cause OF the oank
being dishonored The cashier said II was lmpos-
slble that the bills could have got into the market
10 the extent named; and the first movement was
TO examine the two $1,000 packages, which still
lay untouched in the vault OF the Bank
One OF these packages contained what II purported
TO contain, namely, Sl7. 900 in good bills but from
the other, the whole $l7 900 had been ingeniously
extracted, and brown paper, with the ends nicely
cut off, substituted in place of the money!
The Bank is perfectly safe, and the bills will all
be redeemed.
