FAILURE OF THE ARTIzANs' BANK.-The
doors Of this bank were closed to-day, an even
which has not taken the comm unity altogether
by surprise. 1t was chartered in August or
September, 1856, with capital OF 5000. 600.
Harvey Burdel was one of the original direc-
tors, and held his office mp to the time of his
mysterious Naurder in Bond street. Nathan
q. Platt, of the firm of Platt & Brother was
the first President, and has renal ned in office
until the present time. Charles T. Lsaks was
the first cashier, and Il. A. Tooker the las I
one.
Hardly had the organization been .ffec ted
when the panic of 81 came upon the commu-
nifty. BY some means this bank survived the
pressure, but 1t was at a cost that en- tailed
continued troubles and constant difficulties,
from which II never recovered. Changes were
made In its management, but an active hosiili-
ty seems TO have sprung up to cripple and
ffnaily close it.
Some months ago Mayor Wood appointed
Mr.. Piatt chamberlain OF the city although
that Office was not vacant. Hereupon arose AN
expensive litigation and newspaper warfare
which, as the bank was Interested to the
amount Of the deposits of the city funds il Ia
fair to presume was conducted and paid for
by the institution. M r. Platt was successful
and the bank had the business; but the COM
Inents of the press upon the whole matter had
fright tened depoSitors and dealers
A few weeks ago the associate banks refused
to exchange with them, and yesterday a run
was made upon 1t for epece. At quarter of
three the doors were closed.
The misfortuueS OF the fnstitutiou ara
wholly traceable to the opposition Of other
banks and individuals, and to political oppo-
sition. Yesterday a heavy drain was made
for specie, and at a late hour a check for aI3.-
200 was presented but, as there was not
enough specie on hand to meet it, the drec-
tors thought best 10 go into voluntary liaui-
datlon, pay all outstanding claims and st n
proper time resume operations. The City
Cnamt ,rlain business has gained many oppo-
nents TO the bank, and the newspapers nave
heipeo To Keep up the excitement. The assets
are more than enough b TO meet the liabilities :
All the FUNDS entrusted 10 the care Of the CITY
jnambeTiaiE have been transferred TO the
