The Vienna correspondent of the Lon
don Times, under date of May 18th,
says. in relation to the panic on the ex-
change: 1.-The fifteenth of May decided
it. Settling day is over. The havoc
was great. Up to one o'clock in the
evening ninety-fve insolveneies had
been declared. The bell which an
nOunces such events had scarcely mo-
ment of respite from ten O'Clock in the
morning; it was sort of a massacre,
and by six o'clock in the evening the
number of those dispatched amounted
to one hundred and twenty. Several
considerable men were in the number,
but, almost without exception, they
were small men, the private soldiers of
the exchange. Many a man who had
been set down previous to the crisis as
worth so many hundred thousand
forms saw his hundreds of thou
sands vanish into thin air. AS
yet the catastrophe has almost been
confined to the coulissieres of larger
establishments. There are only the
Commission bank and the Borsen credit
bank which are in straits, aud the firm
of r. ReitZes, which has had leading
part in getting up tramways of Vienna.
The first decided yesterday evening to
declare its insolvency to-day, and now
only winds up. The house of Reitzes and
the Borsen credit bank are trying to
conclude an amicabie arrangement with
their creditors. 1t is confidence which
has received the most terrible shock.
The heaviest day has indeed passed, but
there is the Saturday to come on which
arrangements made on Friday last, and
transactions made since, are TO be set
tied, and no one seems inclined to ven
tJIre forward before the worst is known.
