Tn, Genera IN. " Gazette OF Friday announces
the failure of " Kidder private banker, with LA
b;llties to the amount of 100000. He was sole or
part owner Of the Ban ge Bank and Bank Of Hor-
nesve. This il one of the interior failures to which
we alluded few days since. The drafts Of the Balm
bridge Bank upon its correspondent in this City are
discred,ed. but the circulating notes are amply Sc
cured and will we understand still be redeemed by
the State Bank a. Albany. The Hornelsville Bank
will not we hear suspend The notes of this institu-
ton are also amply secured and are redeemed at the
Metropolitan Bank in this City. The cambridge
Bank had on the 3Oh Of September circulation Of
l46, secured by s92 lis NexYork State stocks at
par value The IIornellsvle Bank had s5o,o6i cir
cus,on, secured by s3l O33 State and eco 900 United
States stocks at par value. The Bank OF Monroe at
Cuba lie also connected with the failures alluded to-
Its circulating notes are partly secured by bonds and
mortgages which renders them less safe than those Of
the banks above named but they yet taken at the
Metropolitan Bank.
