For the first time, we believe, in the
history of San Francisco, there was
"run" last evening and this morning, upon
one Of the leading banking houses of this
city Messrs. Adams & Co IA house as
solid, financially, as the rock of Gibraltar
is, ply slralIy. The run was occasoned
by panic created by the circumstance of
the name of the firm failing to appear
among tho shippers by the steamers of
the 10th. Casual depoSitors, and parties
making irregular remttances, became
alarmed, supposlng that Adams & Co.,
had sent nothing by the steamers; while
in fact, they had shipped per John l..
Stephens, S255, ,9O9; per Sierra Nevada,
9l22 900; total shipment Oh the 10th,

and will continue to meet, all demands
