The street was full of runors today in regard to
p.town banks but there was no foundation for any
of them The Committees Of the Clearing House are
confident that there is danger Of any more banks
failing in this City, although some Of the weaker
banks may probably 20 into liquidation. 1t needs

the condition Of their Bank 90 directly to the OFF,
eers and they will never fail to receive the desired
explanation. Frst Of al, however, select for your
Bank one managed by skillful and responsible men.

Of the institution over which they preside will be con-
Quoted honestly and prudently.
The Central Bank, we understand, will pay specie
for its notes TO- morrow. The Knckerbocker, it u
stated has thus far been enabled TO take up M notes
sent to the Controller for redemption, and thus no
legsl STEPS have been taken for winding it up. The
