 Probably we have heard the last of these rumors, but as likely as not the unessiness will remain in places remote from here. Still we think the bank would do we'll to make known how small comparatively is the basis on which the re ports rested. The majority of city men is of our opinion, but the minority holding that the least said the soonest mended is 8 respectable one.
 The Standard gays: The meeting of the bank directors yesterday was rather pro tracted. As the story went, they discussed whether the resignatiens of tEo directors should be accepted. The names were even mentioned, though entirely without official authority. Whatever the intentions of any members may have been, 1t Is certain none actually resigned. It would be unsesmly even pernicious, If any did so at this june ture.
 The Telegraph ssys: The exact amount of the advances made by Mir. Nay (the re tiring chisf csshier) upon certain securi ties has not transpired. It is stated tina the loss is not likely to exceed f20, GOO.
