dent of the st. Louis Republican, writing from
Springfield. Ills., where the U. S. District
Court for that State is now in session, says,
The matter of building a bridge across the
Mississippi river, at Rock Island, is exciting
considerable interest, and an effort is being made
at the present time, in the United States Court,
to have an injunction granted. The Company,
at the present time, are making preparations to
the work, but it is thought by most
of the lawyers that a perpetual injunction will
be granted. This is question Of the greatest
interest to a very large section of country, the
result of which will be looked forward to with

II is with the most unfeigned regret, that we
are forced to announce 10 you the necessity
which compels us to close the doors of our Of
flee 10 morrow morning. We need no. remind
you who have already struggled aga hst a pres
sure unparalleled in our financial experience,
how severe and crushing have been The disas-
tiers, rapidly and suddenly precipitaied upon
this community during the last few weeks. At
ter struggling with a resolution and diligence
unknown to you TO meet our engagements ma
turing in New York on the first instant, and
having triumphed over the difficulties of that
day, meeting them all TO the amount Of nearly a
million of dollars, we had hoped that the crisis.
with us personally, had passed: and that we
should have had the pleasure of extending to
our friends a participation in the consequent re-
lief we should ourselves enjoy. But u~nhapplly
intelligence by telegraph this evening has unex-
pectedly and utterly dissipated the hope so con-
fdently cherished and compelled US 10 announce
our suspension, as we do, with an owe, whelming
sensation of pain.
In so doing W. ask your reasonable consider
alton for a statement necessarily so brtf at this
late hour, assuring the public that details will
justify the general one, now made, that a long
continued %stringency in the money market, at
home and abroad, the consequent rapid decrease
of cur deposits, disappointment in the negota-
ton of a large amount of securities on which
We have advanced and matured OIL cations,
still heavy and urgent, are immediate causes
which have consplred 10 produce our misfor-
tunes.
We assure our friends that we believe our
suspension is but temporary; that our assets,
partnership and private,) will exceed our liza
bIlities upwards of three millions of dollars,
and that as soon as our books are written up,
we shall make. a statement of our atFlirs. as
full and satisfactory as the public could desire.
