We hear of no further failures to-day, excepting
shipping house of no great importance, and Messrs
VIM. N. Hill & Co. and Noon & Sergeant, banking

their extensive operations almost entirely by kitng
on New Orleans, New-York and Boston. They were
believed 10 have been making money by their bust
ness but i, il stated that such was not the fact.

some $4,000. The two houses in this City sIe in
