EXCITEMENT ON THE SrREET-The announcement
yesterday morning that the old and well known
Banking House of Josiah Lee d Co., had stopped
payment, produced quite excitement upon the
street. 1t was talked about by everybody, and as
consequence, quite number OF persons collected
about and within the Banking House, on the corner
of Calvert and Baltimore streets. A large portion
of the crowd seemed to have been deposiors in the
Bank, many of whom did not seem to be in the best
of humors. The larger crowd outside, appeared
to have been drawn to the spot merely from curl
osity, and collected in groups the pavement
talking about the occurrence, in all manner of
ways The politicians who are mostly loud mouthed
attributed the suspension TO the cause of the sin
expressible conflict party of the North, and many
were quite eloquent upon this theme. Inside the
Banking House, however, although the crowd at
one time much excited, no breach of the peace
occurred. The doors were closed shortly after II
O'Clock, and in the course of an hour very few per-
sons were standing about the building.
