A second gathering of the presidents of the va- rious savings banks institutions of this city for the purpose oj periecting @ system to allay the existing anxiety among their depositors was held last night at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, The meeting was calied to order at eight o’clock, with Mr. Isaac: T.

The meewing opened by many of those present stating what had taken place at their banks dur- ing the day, and which among them had adopted the rule of compelling their depositors to give notice of their intention to remove funds, either at peck or sixty days, according to the bylaws of the an! A somewhat warm discussion ensued on the subject of appointing a committee to wait upon the Vomperas of the various banks which had failed to send representat ves to tne meeting, and which were understood to be the !ollowing:—At- lantic, Bank jor Savings in City of New York, Broadway, Clairmont, Clinton, Dry Dock, East River, East Side, Excelsior, Freeamen’s Saving and irust Company, Hariem, Institute ior Savings ot Mercnants’ Clerks, Matual, New York, Trades, and Yorkville, The opposition consisted in several ntlemen stating that to send a deputation would é ridiculous, ii the absent banks did not realize the immense issues at stake. both to themselves and the community. It was therefore agreed that no deputation should be sent. ADOPTION OF RESOLCTIONS, After some discussion the iollowing resolutions were proposed and unanimously adopted :— Whereas it has been ascertained by revorts from the yarious savings banks represented here this evening that the adoption to-day by many of them ot the recom- mendation of the meeting of |: ening, that notice be required trom the depositors, has met with their general approval, and has had the effect of allaying all excit :- ment at the Institutions which have ‘adopted it; there- jore, be Resolved, That this meeting do recommend that the provision requiring notice be generally adopted by the savings banks ot this city; and, be tt iurther Kesolved, That a copy of these resoiuiions be sent to pe of each bank not represented here to- BANKS WHICH DID NOT ADOPT THE RULE YESTERDAY, The foilowing banks did not adopt the notice law esterday, but made payments during business jours as in ordinary times, viz. :—Union Dime, Cit:- zens’, Merchants and Traders’, Bowery, Emigrant inden, Coens (Fourteenth street) aud Me- chanics, me paid only small sums, while otheis paid checks In full and others paid checks and yet demanded time notices for larger sums. WHAT WILL TAKE PLACE TO-DAY Itis expected that the last mentioned banks, and, indeed, all the savings banks wili demand “time notices” to-day, so that cash payments may be looked pon as virtually at an end, at least ior the resent. 4 The writer asked the president of a well known institution if this was not suMcient to bring about a@riot; to which he replied, ‘Unless we do so there will be # riot! Itell you there is not currency enough in the city of New York to pay off in green- backs all the depositors in savings banks.”’ Several of the bank presidents remarked that cash payments must now be at the discretion of the oficers of the banks. One of them said, for instance, “Ifa man wants to pay for a ton o! coal, or bis rent, or $50 for his passage to Europe, we ‘Will let him have it; but till matters are in a better condition we must keep @ tight hand on our ex- chequer, not only jor our own good, but for the sake of all concerned. People who have nothing to do with finances think that we lock it up in parcels in our bank vaults, and quite ignore, that as soon as we get it we invest in securities, either bonds or mortgages, which p ay the shareholders thetr interest, and that to “slaugh- ter” our securities by forcing them on the market at the present time would be simple madness. We must do our duty, not only to our institutions, but to our depositors, and we are all oi opinion that the time notice system is the only thing we can do to straighten out matters. It will undoubtedly be a great hardship to many who believe, aiter the Wail street crash, that all fmancial institutions are shaky. Most banks will, 1 think, pay occasionally to their customers sums in greenbacks varying from $20 to $100. MEETING OF BANK PRESIDENTS IN OHICAGO, URICAGO, Sept. 22, 1973, A meeting of the Presidents of the national banks was held to-night to discuss the financial situation in New York and here.

The disposi- tion shown this morning to run on the savings banks was less marked this afternoon, and there is Spparently Very little excitement or alarm among the people. THE EFFEOT OF THE ORASH IN CANADA St. OaTuarines, Ont., Sept. 22, 1873, The Canada Southern Railway Company have, owing to the financial crisis in New York, been obliged to cancel all their contracts for the pres- ent, and have ordered the discharge of all their workmen not employed on the r trains ran- ning over the road. The cause of this is reported ta be ome se the complications in Daniel Drew's affairs, he being a large stockholder in the com- pany. EXOITEMENT IN LITTLE ROOK. Litre Rock, Sept. 22, 1873. On account of the financial panic 1n the North the banks here to-day refused to take city money, home currency, which has been in circulation at Par for six years, and asa consequence great ex- Sentient tenet this money has always been received the same as greenbacks. A citizens meet- ing was held in the aiternoon, at which it was Fesolved to take the money as usual. The general impression is that the panic will be over to-mor- Tow and the money be taken as usual. ‘ CONFIDENCE IN OiNOLNNATI. Crncrnnatt, Sept. 22, 1873.

General Grant Entertained by Boss Shepperd. WASHINGTON, Sept. 22, 1873, No Apprehensions of Further Trouble Entortained by the Secretary of the Treasury, Im conversation to-day Secretary Richardson stated his belief that the panic was now at an end, and that there need be no further apprehensions 1 troubie. He had no fear of any disaster result ing from this, as the country ts ina very pros- perous condition, which was shown by the fact that throughout the panic there was no call upon the National Treasury for assiatance, except from New York, a slight one from Philadelphia and still less ‘rom Washington. From the West and South there had been no request for aid, and ne hed no idea that there would be any. He further stated that the government would continue to purchase bonds as long ag persons would bring them, but he did not suppose that they would be offered many days, day Cooke, McCulloch d Co. Still Naval Agents. The Secretary of the Treasury contradicts the statement that the navy account has been trans- ferred irom the banking house of Jay Cooke, MeCulloch & Co, in London, and declares that there ts no intention of making such transfer. Another Conterence Between the Pre: dent and the Secretary. The President had another interview of more than an hour with Secretary Richardson, at the -White House, this morning, at which Secretary Delano and Postmaster General Creswell were present. It has been decided to send $20,000,000 from the National Treasury here to assist Treasurer Hillhouse in New York to-night, to enable that ofcer to buy all the bonds that may be offered. The President feels encouraged at the news of to-day, and will be guided by circumstances as to whether he will leave to-night. Secretary Richardson has been re- ceiving telegrams from New York every few mo- ments during the day posting him as to the cendi- tion of affairs there. In reply to interrogatories this morning he said everything was more encour- aging and the government would buy bonds just as fast as they were presgnted. He had pleuty of money and would give it out to all who came with their bonds. When tne question was asked whether or not this money to pay for the bonds would come from the legal reserve he answered, “Never mind about tnat; I will attend to getting the money. The government is all right and in- tends to keep so.” A Telegram from a Banker. Mr. Joseph Seligman, the New York banker, sent the following telegram to a prominent gentieman late this afternoon :— The prompt action of the President has had a beneficial influence in all European markets to-day. JOSEPH SELIGMAN, Vice President Wilson Speaks. The Secretary of the Treasury received the fol" lowing telegram this afternoon from Vice Presi- dent Wilson :— Boston, Sept. 22, 1873. Wirttam A.

The run on the Freedmen’s and Washington City Savings Banks has nearly subsided, not more than a dozen persons being at either place at any one time during the day. Treasury Circular Concerning the Value of the Sovereign or Pound Sterling. The Secretary of the Treasury has prepared a circular, soon to be issued, inviting the attention of importers, exchange dealers and the public generally to the act establishing the custom house value of the sovereign or pound sterling of Great Britain, and to fix the par of exchange, passed March 3, 1873. By @ usage, it says, dating back to an early period in our colonial history, the dollar has been rated as equivalent to fifty-four pence sterling; the pound, therefore, at $4 44—4s. 9d., or £9—$40, The dollar, which was the original sub- ject of comparison, was the old Spanish silver dol- lar, or piece of eight, and the computation at the time was approximately true as compared withthe British silver money. In all transactions of ex- change involving the dollar and British money, the par was, therefore, assumed at 64 pence to the dollar, any differences from this par being attri- butable to premium or discount. The practice thus begun has been continued through all the changes, and they are considerable, which have affected the coins current in this country and Great Brit- ain during nearly two centuries, for the British standard is now gold,and the Spanish dollar no longer circulates with us, but our unitary dollar is a gold coin, worth nearly nine per cent less than a dollar of flity-four pence. By apure fiction, retained by usage only, and not by any law, exchange with Great Britain appears permanently against the United States, while our bonds are quoted at @ fixed discount of nearly 8% per cent below tneir Teal value. The remedy for such anomalies is the abandonment of the false par or valuation of the money of the United States in British money. The law, while prescribing the close of the present year as the term for the discontinuance of the old Tating of exchange, does not prohibit but rather invites an earlier change in the practice. The Secretary recommends that the change be entered upon at once, and, with a view to facilitate this, he has caused to be prepared a series of tables (to be appended to the circular) which he trusts will be found to embody useful information, and aid in passing from an erroneous to a correct system. Gold Deposits and the New Trade Dollar. A communication from the Superintendent of the San Francisco Mint to Dr. Linderman, the Director of the Mint, says the gold receipts from the Ist to the 9th of September aggregate $1,000,000, The gold deposits for September will probably be three millions. On the 9th of September 360,000 ounces of silver were received. This will coin ee ose express company, therefore, phio responses from the parties directly interested. The President and Cabinet to Attend a Fatr. The President and the Cabinet, with General Sherman and the Governor of Maryland, have signified their intention of attending the {air to be held at Westminster, Md., on the 1st and 2d of October. They will arrive at Westminster at twelve o’clock noon, October 1, and leave on the afternoon of the 2d. The fair promises to be the best ever held by the Society, General Grant and General Babcock Going to Long Eranch, The President and General Babcock will leave here to-morrow morning for Long Branch. This evening they were entertained at dinner by Governor Shepperd, in company with Attorney. General Williams and several other prominent ofictals, The Credit Mobilier Suits and the Gov- ernment, The decision by the United States Circutt Court for Connecticut upon the motions and demurrer in the Crédit Mobilier suits will be decided a3 soon as the Judge has time to make a due examination of the case, The motions were filed by persons re- siding out of the district of Connecticut to dismiss the suit as to them, upon the ground that the act was unconstitutional in requiring them to appear and answer in @ district in which they did not re- side, and it was, therefore, special legisiation not warranted by the constitution; and the demurrer was filed by the Union Pacifico Railroad Company and others on the ground that the United States fad not that interest in the subject matter of the Legisiature which en- titled them to bring asult to redress the wrongs of the Union Pacific Railroad Company. The Attorney General believes the motions and demurrer will be overruled, and hopes to get a decision to the effect that railroad companies are public institutions, subject to the control of the government, and that contracts made by the directors of such compantes, with themselves or with other companies in which they are interested, relative to the constrac- tion or management of such roads, are void; and he thinks that such a decision will do much to re- form railway management, as the revenues of the Toad are very oiten greatly consumed by these out- side arrangements in which the directors are inter- ested, rendering it necessary to impose high tariff upon the transportation to defray in addition thereto the legitimate expenses of such road. Resignation of Edwin L. Stanton. Mr. Edwin L, Stanton has resigned his position as Secretary of the District of Columbia, having been appointed Receiver of the First National Bank.

Amongst these gentiemen are several who marched in @ Communistic procession on a notable Sunday in this city tollowed by several red flags and Victoria Woodhull. The delegation evidently lost sight of the object of their mission for, instead of making an address to their host, they commenced to cathecise Mr. Bradlaugh in such @ manner as to cause that gentleman no little astonishment. The legation behaved in @ free and easy fashion and once or twice the distinguished Englishman ‘was informed by some ol the delegates that the: knew more about England tnan he did, to whic! Bradlaugh assented by stating that if they did it was hardly necessary to come aud cross question him on a subject with which they were personaily conversant. The first speaker was Mr. Madox, who desired to get the views of Mr. Bradlaugh en re- ublicanism in and. The latter was proceed- ing to explain but was imterrupted by Citi- zen Banks, Citizen Frey, Citizen McCullough, and others. Mr. Bradiaugn fi succeeded, alter much shnoyance snd causeless interruptions, in explaining that he was decidedly op to all rev- olutions by violence; that he opposed Communism and rapine, or the disposing of any class of prop- erty which they had tawiully accumulated, and that he was not op in any sense to accumula- tions of value; that he did not wish to see the people of yates, emigrate while there was land i 400,000 of the trade doilar. A test of the Mexican silver dollar was recently made at the New York Assay Office, under direc- tion of Dr. Linderman. The dollars were of recent coinage—restored eagi¢ dollar die. The weight of single pieces showed very wide variations—from 407 to 430 grains, the legal standard being 417. They bore the mark of the Mint at Chihuahua and bad evidently been issued without any regard toa proper @djustment.- They averaged 904 fine, slightly above the Mexican standard, The varia- tion in weight is such as to render their sale as dollars very uncertain. Mutilated Currency Sent to the First National Bank. Many of the national banks of the country had been in the habit of sending mutilated notes for redemption to the First National Bank of Washing- ington, that institation acting as their agent ior the purpose, This gave it the continuous use of from $600,000 to $700,000, some of which ‘was loancd out at eight per cent interest and the remainder used in its current business, Since the suspension numerous packages of mutilated currency have been received by the express company, Which, not knowing what to do wit them, has been informed, in reponse to an in- quiry of the Comptroller of the Currency, that the better way would be to ask the owners of the cur- rency what disposition shall be made of it, as the of their own lying faliow ; that no revolution caused by violence in England had ever brought any satisfactory reforms, and that the removal of abr in ba gd must come gradually and that he was opposed to takin; tive in any conflict where violence mign but that he would not permit his property to be taken from bim by legalized violence. Citizen Banks stated in reply that the people of America were ignorant as pigs and not bnnadig, 4 of liberty, and that he preferred @ monareny to the present form of government in the United States, to which Mr. Bradiaugh replied that he and the English people would be vi ing 3 to present their aris- tocracy and monarchy to the American people, if he thought that they called for it, ‘The delegation soon after left the room to Mr. Bradlaugh, w! aig. nificantly pulled out his watch as @ reminder. i first Ley see will take place on the evening of Uctober An Exeited English Tory on Bradlaugh. To THe EDITOR oF Heratp:— The press should be at ail times the infallible guide of the people in religion, morals, laws, poli- tics and intelligence of every kind, and not the mouthpiece o1 professed infidels, atheists and Com- munwste. What interest can the people of this country have in the @fidel theories and caustic lectures of Bradiaugh. We have enough of that sort of staff at home, without having it imported, Bradiaugh bas come to this country with the ex- pectation and express purpose of making money And to instil into the minds of the people the poisons of his infidelity and the Commune. He expects ‘that wo wiil dil his bags with greenbacks and then dank, in its vresent condition, would not act in the | Uaten to his ridicule, scandals, athelam, inidelity A and Communism. The people of the United States would be recreant to all honor and justice did they tolerate this infidel and his scandals of the House of Brunswick and its present reigning family. is America become an Fdorado, a paradise, @ land flowing with milk and honey tor all the English scandal mongers that choose to come to it, and @ land of leanness want and famine to her own Christian and talented lecturers? Look at the rich harvests those Engiisty mountebanks take home with them and the scur~ rilous ¢ ks that they give us afterwards, When an Englishman scandalizes hisown people nation and government to make money, it is natural to suppose that he would act honorably afterwards to a people, nation and government like the United States. Bradiaugh’s coming to this country at this particular time is full of li meaning. He is master of all the tactica of Epgits politics, jealousies, hatreds and ani- mosities to the Institutions of the United States, lee him say what he will, for they are grounded on the basis of Christianity, law and order—princlples im direct contradiction to his own, His lectures om the Brunswicks are only a pretude to his after lec~ tures on Communism &c., to sav the foundations sf the State, religion, law ana order, and thus ug about a revolution as destructive as the Voanune. Bradlangh is a keen, shrewd, sharp. bold snd an= principled agent of the Deviland Gladswne, aud should be hooted, hissed and expelled frum every Christian country, We have had enough of his countrymen already without Leing Bradiaughed, badlawed or outlawed.
