POSITION OF JUDGE CHAMBERS Ramore to the effect tha: Judge Chambers, of Page, Bacon & Co., had withdrawn from that house, seem to Dave obtained general circulation.

THE SHERIFF BROUGHT UP FOR CONTEMrT. On the suspension ot Page, Bacon & Co., a receiver, was appointed, into whose hands all the property be- Jonging to the firm was delivered.

Fee months a leading banking house in this city has been quietly strengthe i and sustaint its parent banking house elsewhere at expense of evei b hi de of ours. The house of Adams jouse here, an ly a & Co, hold to-day from our merchants for indispensable accommodations wherewith to meet their loans suddenly called in, and for which the hard cash has left our vaults. Could we have known upon the arrival of the Nicara- . 4, of the protest of the paper of Page 2, the day of jicaragua steamer on the other side, or that there was reason to soeceiend sucha mishap, the banking houses, and Adams & Co. among them, could have ) age themselves for the worst. Evenafter age, Bacon & Co., of this city, Satarday, Feb. 17, had it been possible, by any amount of diligence, to in the true position of that house, Adams & Co, could even then have prepared for the worst. Unfortu- a steamer, Fe Einocn, of St. Louis, in Wall street, Jan. the departure of the Ni other the run on asterta: nately, it was not possible. Either from ignorance of its own condition, or for some other reason best understood by itself, that nouse not only filled the public and its friends with unfounded ideas of its stren and resources, but imposed upra the anxious scrutiny even of the other banking houses. To repeated inquiries, to entreaties the most urgent, our house received always the assurance of the perfect ability of Page, Bacon & Co. to meet any run. There- fore it was that we did not concentrate our resources here from all parts of the State, as we would , or even hinted to us. On the contrary, we sent away our best re- sources, ba’ ing forwarded into the interior on Monday, have done had the truth been reves nd Tuesday ‘einesday of last week, more tham$1650, in coin; for the purchase of gold dust alone for the weet- ly shipment, while we allowed another large amount of coin to be invested in bullionon the way for the same shipment. More than this: we freely expended the coin which wns our life blood, in our efforts to sustain that house, in redeeming their certificates throughout the State, an Such every other way. again open their doors. It was an event which not only fal-ified the repeated and solemn assurances given by that house, bat which found us destitute of the préparations which, but for those arsurances, we should most certainly have made, It was an event, too, which was aggravated in the highest degree by the tone and temper of the extra- ordinary circular which announced it to the public. February 22, was a day of geaeral celebration, and I hoped, with the large amount of gold dust in our vaults we could meet the crisis then evidently impending. Bu between 1 and 4 PM., of that day, I found a run had quietly set in, which took from us, in about two hours, over $21 rights of all our creditors, in the city and throughout the mines, close our doors. Immediately, and all that night, we made every effort which men conld, every- where in town, to procure coin. Gold dust we’ had; I had my own private property and the property of our frienda, which, with unparalleled generosity, they had placed at our cisposal. We offered a million and @ quar- ter of dollars in the best securities in the world to raise one-fifth of’ the sum in coin. Every ellort and every sa- crifice were in vain; it could not be done. The rest is nown. These are facts which it is painful for me to present to the public. Hitherto I have withheld them out of regard to the feelings ot otbers, for whom I had always enter- tained high consideration. But the evident disposition, in a few quarters, to misrepresent or misunderstand the merits of the case, has forced me to a disclosure which I could not longer have withheld without prejudice to our house, These being the facts of our suspension, I desire to make the creditors of the house throughout the State the following proposition:— That within tnirty days from this date the reoiver shall pay them twenty-five per cent, in each, upow all our claims, That the creditors shell receive the balance of their claims from the receiver as fast as he can declare the dividends, and for this purpose hi minister the assets, notes, real es te, &e,, of the house, and realize them as promptly as possible, without hin. } drance, and to the best advantage for the creditors; and for the pe security of the creditors that bis pre- sent bonds, which are for one million of dollars, shafl be imereased it deemed necessary. That Adams & Co. shail be allowed to resume their business as heretofore, with such as they can odtain from their friends and Customers; and ia this connection 1am deeply gratified to state that the whole body of our clerk#, with a devotion to the house which they have done so much to build up, for which no words can thank them, have volunteered, each and all, their services for an entire year, without hire or rewara beyond a bare subsistence, As itis desirable that we should obtain as promp‘ly as possible the sense of our creditors upon this proposi- tion, which Iam confident is for their best interests, and Will secure the early payment of their claims in full, we earnestly request them to notify us at our bank- ing house, in San Fransisco, of their assent thereto 1 need not say bow acceptable that nt will be, nor that we shall endeavor to requite itgvith the same energy aad fidelity, of which we hope the public has bad some proof in its former dealings with our hou: 1.

In- deed, there wees Kress of alarm and excitement. Io the meantime another phic despatch a that Wells, Fargo & Co, had suspendea. This seemed to be the finishing stroke the day, aug évdty ond was on the qué vite~ large depestiors as well as small ones. It is almost impoesible to describe the feeling among our business men Their confidenes in the banking houses of this State remained ‘unimpaired until this last intelli- gence. Now there was n> calculation where the fail ures would end. Soon again the t aph announced that every banking bouse in San Francisco had suspent-- ed. This gr ¢ climax—exeitement ran higher and Babe, until the first law of nature, self-preservation, seemed to be the ruling passion of every one, All classes of our citizens, merebants as well as laboring men and mechanics, made srun for their deposits. Wells, Fi & Co paid every claim that was presented to them at city. The State Tribune of Feb. 25, says, that about ten o’clock on Thursday morning the bank'ng house of Page, Pacon & Co. closed in Sacramento, In the course of an hour the suspension was known all over town, and hun- dreds who muney deposited with them could be seen hurrying down to the bank—to take « look, if nothi more, at the spot where their little all had been for safe keeprog. During the day a considerable crowd, many of them recently trom the mines, were congregated on the corner of Front and J streets, in front of the bank, b very quiet and orderly— no loud expression of feel- ing or disappo'ntment was manifested, and all seemed to be impressed with the idea that they would got thelr de- porits before long. We heard of many individual cases of losses, varying from one to fifteen thousand dollars. On? man, an ex- Alderman of this city, sold out large stock of goods & few days since, and deposited the proceeds—$15,000— with this firm. Another person, who came down’ from the mines on Wednesday night last, deposited $5.000 early yesterday morning, or within an hour of their closing ne All of the real estate owned by the firm and individual members of it was attached immediately upon news of the suspension being published. The effects have all been transferred to the hi of a receiver, who will await the order of the cou: San Francisco, where the injunction was issued compelling Page, Bacon & Co. to reali from paying out any money until further or- jer PLACERVILLE. Adams & Co. suspended all banking business on the 20d Feb. The excitementis gradually gaining ground as the report spreads. Crowds have been colle:ted around the different banking houses during the evening discus. ing the chances of getting their depos'ts. It is thought the deposits in this house will not fall fur short of $190,000, Saturday and Sunday we expect the excite- ment to reach its climax, aa by that time it will be gene- rally known throughout this vicinity. Wells, Fargo & Co., up to the present time, have paid all certificates of deposit that have been presouted. The business menin town have not expressed any doubts as to the solvency of this house, ani have not withdrawn their deposita. GRASS VALLEY. The commeucement of the suspension of Adams & Co. created an nnprecedented excitement in town. When the office was closed, Mr, Tilley was placed in ,charge as receiver, As the ill-tid.ngs spread, squads of miners flocked in from the adjacent diggings. The excitement, fostered by injudicions persons, waxed greater towards evening. and threats were made by tho wore illiterate portion of the community that a mob would be raised and the building attacked, but the determined stand taken by the fricnds of the house prevented the threats from being carried into effect. The office of Wells, Fargo & Co. continued open and the bnik of their deposits pad out. . Attachments were taken out against Adams & Co. toasmsll amount, and the office placea in charge.

The banking houre of Adams & Co., was closed at an early hour this morning. As soon as the fact was known, there was som little excitement among depositors. Quite a number called on them for their treasure, but were obliged to leave without it, and await the result. ‘Wells, Fargo & Co have had a very heavy ron on them, but up to the hour of closing for the day, all de- positors have been promp!ly paid on demand. We are informed by a gentler in from Georgetown, that there was some excitement at that place among de- positors with the two houses. MARYSVILLE.

EXCITEMENT ON THE ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER. On the arrival of the Sierra Nevada on tbe 22d, the wharves were crowded with persons anxious to learn something in relation to the affairs of Page, Bazon & Co. at the Fast. One of the passengers informed the crowd that all the drafts sent on by the steamer which arrived at New York previous to the sailiog of the last Califor- nia steamer, haé been honored. The announcement elicited three hearty cheers. i A QUESTION FOR THE LAWYERS. On the 2ist of February, a number of freight bu due one of the clippers discharging in the harbor, wer psid in checks on Page, Bacon & Co, These chesks were not presented at the banki house on which they were drawn, but were either id into other houses, for ¢: change, or were held over by the recipient.

We further learn that he vessel alluded to refused to deliver any more goods to the parties, until ths checks were cancelled, and in consequence ceased unload ing. Kern River Mines, The Southern Californian says:—We are constantly receiving the most flattering accoants from this losali ty, uot only comirming our previous published ac- countg, but informing us of newly discovered Sigetags of inr@ared richnes The large numbers of people who have flocked to these mines have scattered themselves over tbat sectioa of country, and are prospecting the numeroue gulches and ravines throughout the different ranges of mountains, developing at every step diggings that pay from ten to fifty ceuts a pan. ‘The calities found thus fer are high up in the mountaia gulches, where the snow at present makes it very difti- cult to work. ‘Alhough we still speak of ‘Kern River mines' plying to the mining region, but comp ratively few p rons are now as high up: the country south and eas! bas been discovered to ve far richer, We have seen a letter from T.

The superintendent, in view of the great preseure in financial circles, has put the assaying de- partment on extra work, and depositors have been paid in from twenty four to forty eight hours after their gold dust was deposited. Mint bara have been promptly cashed on presentation. The coinage for the month of February will nearly reach $1,260,000.

Beyond a lumber brig or bark from Oregon, and a few coasters from down the coast or Tomales, together with the regu- lar Honolulu schooner and packets, our pilots hed nothing to report. But the Pampero proved the head of a long list. Immediately following came the Sweep- stakes, the Southern Cross, and the Bald Eagle, on suc- cessive days. The Hussar and the Phantom followed in quick succestion, and yesterday, murable dictu, then came to hand twelve vessels from foreign ports. We had, of Dutch ships, the Biesboseh, from Cardiff, and the Ida, (Hamburg,) from Newcastle. | Of Frenchmen, there were the Nouvel Alfred, the Paquette des Mera du Sud, and the Washington, from Borceaux. Added to these, there was a British bark, the Euphrates, from London; the Haidee, from Hong Kong; and the Juliet, from Bos ton. At sundown four more had anchored outside the bar, making rae total of a dosen for the day.

M. Quite an excitement was created in Wall street this morning by the arrival of the steamship North- ern Light, of the Nicaragua line, with advices, in about twenty days from San Francisco, announcing the suspension of about haif a dozen banking houses of that city. The excitement did not take any par- ticular shape, and bad no unfavorable inflaence upon the stock market. The news brought by this arrival wae avticipated, and the effect was therefore of avery temporary character. When the suspen- sion of Page & Bacon of St. Louis, occurred last January, it was well known that the receip! of the intelligence in California would prodace a panic omo‘g depositors in the banking house of Page, Bacon & Co., and all the other banking houses of San Francisco. The result bas been no more than expected. The panic which seized upon all clasecs was very intense, but such measures hed been taken as were best calculated to allay all apprehen- siom, and the probability was at the moment the steamer left, that a few days would suffice to restore confidence and business to its usual channels. At the first board to-day, the brokers were theroughly posted in regard to the Californian sdvicee, and operations were made with « full knowledge of the trfling receipt of specie, and the nature of pnblic and private sccounts—notwith- stending which, it will be seen prices advanced. Pennsylvania Coal Company went up 2 per cent, New York Central Railroad {, Cumberiand Coal 4, Panoms Railroad 2, Erie Railroad 4, Reating Railroad §, Hudson Reilroad j, Galena and Chicago Railroad 14, North Carolina 6's 4, Illinois Central Bond: 1%, Erie Bonds (1875) 3, New York Central 7's j. Indiana 5’a fell off 4 par cent Canton Compery 4, Nicarscua Transit |, Michi’ aastart in prices, without much doing in shares. ‘There are rumors of a stock dividend by this com" pany regularly, after this season, to the extent of the accumulations in the sinking fund. This isso more than just and proper. We hold that the di rectors have no right to reduce indebtedness with out g:ving stockholders its equivalent in stock. The Erie Company will be obliged to come to this, and the stockholders chould at once inzist mon lt. If the sinking fond liquidates four hundred and fifty thousand dollars of debt durifig the present year, that amount should go to the stockholders in scrip. In this wey debt will be displaced by stock, and ultimately the stock will holda more important po" sition in the sale. After the adjournment of the board, the following rales cf bonds and stocks were made at auction by A. H. Nicolay. The bonds were sold to-day, with- out the addition of interest, a system adopted from this time by this house:— $1,000 New Orleans City 6's, 1892 ‘g R. R, incom Railroad,..... . Greenwich Fire Insurance Company. St. Nicholas Fire Insurance Company. Isabella Copper Company......... Simeon Draper's regular eemi-weekly sale of bonds and stocks will take place at auction to-mor- sow (Tuesday), at half past twelve o’clock, at the Merchants Exchange. At the second board the market was very buoyant, with considerable activity. IUinois Central bonde advanced 24 per cent; Canton Co., 1; Pennsylvania Coal Co., 4; Cumberland Coal, }; Erie Railroad, 1; Harlem, }; Reading Railroad, }; Hudsom Railroad, 1, State stocks were comparatively quiet this after. noon, but prices were sustained. ‘The transactions at the Assistant Treasurer's of- fice to-day were as follows:— Paid on Treasur; Paid for Assay Office.. Paid for disbursing check: We are requested to state that Co.’s Express Compsny promptly met all claims upon then to-dey, and will continue to upon pre- entation. This is a stock company or association, with a capital of $500,000, and a very substantial, wealthy class of stockholdere. There is no doubt but that the mext steamer from San Francisco will bring accounts of the resumption of the agency at that point, and a re-establishment of the regular This concern received a small remittance by the Northern Light, which is pretty good evi- dence that the house in San Francisco has some life-blood left.

The circulation has brea reduced $70,980. Taese variations are of n> con- sequence, but they serve to show a strengt and uniformity in the banking movement of this city, almost unprecedented ‘in ita history. The temjo rary cessation of remittances from Califoraia , grow- ing cut of a panic in financial circles of thas section, has now vo terrers for us. strongly fortified with gold that nochange ia made in their operations to guard against any excite- ment or demand from mercantile suspensions. will be a temporary relief to cur banking institu- tions to keep back supplies fora time, and it it would act as a slight check upon the ex »ansion of credit going on it would be a blessing, instead of | an injury. The gold is accumulating in California, and it mu t ultimately reach this great finausial centre. It may be delayed for several weeks, until the people of San Francisco have cooled down and taken a more sober view of things, and arrivad at the conclusion that they have been more frightesed than burt. It may take weeks to do th’s; but we ook for better accounts by the next stocmer, and by every succeeding steamer, of the panic at all extraordinary that so many banking houses should suspend in California upon the receipt of | intelligence from the Atlantic States suchas that taken out by the steamer of the 19th January last. Very few banking houses in this country, no matter where they are situated, could meet all their en- gagements, if presented at once, and the movement in San Francisco should not be looked upon as an ordinary matter, butone in which the minds of men sre not permitted to act understandingly. The steamer from this side, which followed that of the 19th of January, carried ont favorable advices, and the eff et could not have been otherwise than the same, We are now in the midst of the worst of this Ca'l‘ornia excitement.
