Slorm.—The cquiuoctial storttt visited us with
greater violence than at atiy_»?.‘[Jeri0d‘in the last
thirty years. It commenced on. Tuesday and
continued to Thursday evening. The rain.
‘which fell in torrents, was dashed, as it came, by
_,the wind, _wit|i a force that bid defiance so, shelter
by mostofthe houses in the vicinity. Pequan-
nock river burst its dams, one after another, ac-
quiring irresistible force, and sweeping all before
it,‘until it arrived at tlte Messrs. Btittnell‘s Fae.-
tories, a mile north of this city. Tlte dam at
this place was about thirty fcetin height, and the
‘pond large. All remained safe until tlte dam
next above gave way, when the accumulation of
water and ice could-no longer be restrained.--
The dam burst and in tltree minutes after. the
water below rose ten feet, which swept away
' about sixty feet ofa largegwoolleti factory lillcd
with cards, looms, stock, dcc. attd vats, (lying,
drying, blcaclting, statnping and other IIOIISCS,‘

that tlte measures to be decided ttpon are these.
Mr. Biddle proposes to substitute for individttal
credit, the more known and established credit of
the bank, until public (,'UtlfItlC[ICG or private sta-
bililyltas had time to revive. This is to be
done by issuing the cugagcntents oftlte bank

ies of the Union.
Vlfe know ofno measure Ilia’. could be devis-
ed under thepresent state oftliings, better cal-
culated to give relief to a measurable extentthan
this. It will unquestionably ‘amcilorate in a
greatdegree, the tlillicalties experienced in re-
lation to foreign and domestic exchanges; -attd
this will certainly be no small benefit to great
numbers ofour business men. It will, doubtless,
‘ savesome who are really solvent from failing,
and prolong the expiring struggles of some oth-
‘crs. But to suppose, as some oftltc superficial
and speculating stxpctitties do, that the crisis is
now past, atid that lienccfortlt money is to be
plenty and pressure unknown, is as idle as to
' suppose that a man writhing under the pains of
a desperate disease can be restored to perfect
' health by a reviving anodyne, which gives a mi-
mentary relicfbutdoes not remove or even touch
. the disease. _The measures of the bank will
give some facilities to business tratisactions, and
prevent that universal confusion and stopping of
‘the wheels of commerce which was at one time
threatened. But can it pay those debts which
men in their madness have contracted all over
the country, to tlte,an';__o,u_tnt of_millions tipon mil-
lions, for property which to them li,as,n,ot the

OUTRAGEOUS.
The following villanous paragraph appeared
in tlih Sun on Saturday:
“ There was a report current in town yester-
day that the New-Haven, Bridgeport, and Stant-
ford liattks, (Conn.) had all stopped paymeiit.—-
It was said to ltave been circulated by passen-
gers from New-Haven. Mechatiics and work-
tugnien cannot be too cautious in receiving coun-
try bank notes, in these shaving times.”
If the Editors of the Sun had any desire to
ltttowtlie truth, they could easily have ascer-
tained it. But they appear not to have troubled
themselves with any inquiries. It was enough
for them to spread the slander with 30,000
tongues-—presenting it in sttch an aspect that
nine out of ten of their readers would believe it
true. The villainy of such an act is not to be
expressed in words. For ourselves, we heard
nosucli rumors, and we doubt if any existed,
except in the immediate tieighborliood of the
Sun office. How tnuch trutlithere is in them
may be inferred from the following notice, issued
by Messrs. E. M. Morgan <3: Co. on Saturday.
The other Banks alluded to by the Suit are
equally sound with those menioned below.
The bills of the following banks are redeem-
ed by us as usual, at gths of one per cent:
Stamford Bank.
Fairfield County Bank.
Bridgeport Bank.
Exchange Bank, Hartford.
Farmers Bank, do.
Peoples Batik, Paterson. ‘
Meriden Bank.
VVestchester County Bank.
East-Haddam Bank.
New-I-Iaveu Bank.

The run and excitementabout the Connecti-
cut batik notes is over. From the fact that
Morgan‘, & Co. were agents for several oftliem
had suspettded, it was supposed that they might
affect tlieircredit, in the excitement, some oftlie
brokers refused to purcliase them, which gave
additional alarm. This inorning, however,
Morgan & Co. resumed bttsincss, and _redeem-
ed all the notes for which they were agents,
and also other Connecticut bank notes, at the
low rate oftlirce eights per centdiscount. This
elfectttally restored all notes to perfect confi-
dence. In fact there ought never to have been
any do ll)l,l‘Ol'Il‘lllCl'e were any sound and solvent
banking itistitutions in tlvis country, they are
‘these oftlie state of Connecticut.
A very large sale of VVlioat, said to be sound,
was brouglitout by auction to day, which went
off at a decline ofabout forty cents—This is an,
important sale, as it establishes tlto fact, that a
fall has taken place. The- supply of wheat at
market is large, and a very large portion of it
of an inferior quality.-—N. Y. E.*cp'i'e.ss, .Kl_,l)7“lf

The notable project ofthe Pennsylvaniajobbers,
prickcd on by kindred pritits at \Vasltiugton, and
elsewhere, to tcpcal the charter of the United
States Bank. under the pretext of bribery ,/,tnd
corruption used itt its procurement, has signally
failed. The comtnittee oftlte Lt-gislatut'e oftliat
state, charged with an investigation into Ike stilt-
ject, and corriposed of thorough-going anti-liattk
men, made a report on Fridaylast, which entire-
ly acquils l/LC last Legislature, and (lie Bank,
_/rout any im.propcr conduct in 0/2tat‘n’£ng' llte chat‘-
lcr.’ The lbllotving passage of the report pre-
sents the zesult oftlie investigation on the main
charge :
“ The committee entered upon the duty with
a determination to do justice to all parties involv-
cd, antl have given the st.tb_iect all that attention
wlzicli a dire i'cg.'trtl to its itnportancc, atitl the
other duties devolving upon llifzttl as I1l(_.‘l1]i)Cl'S
oftlre IT()|l.'$0 of I7.cprescrit:ttivcs, would pcrntit,
attd they are free itt sayittg that no cvitlcnce has
been given which would go to itriplit-ate either
the olliccrs of the Batik, or any ntetnber of the
Legislature ofusing any corrupt means to procu re
the act ofit_tcorporation.”
Wltat. is still tnore gratil‘_ving is the fact, that
this result has been attained by what has really
been an e.i,yiarlc examination. The batik did
not appear in its own tlclinice, and the committee
state that none of its otiicers or directors were
called before them. So that tltcirown witnesses
only were exzttnitietl ! \Ve trttst, therefore, that
we shall bear no more senseless and idle clamor
on the subject ofbribery and corroptiou.—N. Y.

Speaking oftltc late Bank investigation in the
Legislature of Pentisylvania, tltc National Ga-
zette. says: “ Iftlie Lcgislzttttre sltall set another
investigation on foot‘ in relation to the Batik, the
Cotntttittee ought to be instructed scrupulously
to inquire into tltc ttaturc of the int’luctit:e whiclt
was used liy the atlinitiisttatiou to hinder the
passage of the bill. Tltcre are Il‘lflt'.'.‘Cll)lC wit-
t'ies-scs at \Vttslti:igtott who could speak to velie-
tncttt tctitotistratices in the itiforcetnerit of party
t‘ll‘3Clplll‘.C, if ttot to any of those audacious and
corrupt acts with wlticlt the bank was so lilicrally
charged. A few weeks leisure might be well dis-
posed ofnext session, in a scrutiny of this sort.’

Tltc hustle and confusion of the election, and
the multiplicity and variety of ottr other on-

“ Ilfuch ado about il0‘lllZ'7lg‘.”—VVe are ltappy
to assure the public, the the rumors in circula-
tion affecting the solvencyofthe Fairfield Coun-
ty Bank, are entirely unfounded. By 3. refer-
ence to another column, it will be seen that the
notes of this Bank are redeemed on the usual
terms in '\Vall Street.
Q? \Vc have done on r best to procure corrccl
returns of the-elections, as far as we report thetn.
Yet, after all our c:~:ertion, our readers must
consider many of the majorities which we pub-
lish as rcporlccl merely. In New Haven Coun-
ty, eight towus retnain to be heard from, which
may materially alter the published result. In
this county, the aggregate tory vote on the
Senatorial Ticket is lietwecn 150 and 200 short
of what it was last fall on the Electoral.-
The \Vhigs in this town did -nobly. Our highest
majority was 100. The '\Vhigs in those towns
which have made no choice of Representatives,
have every encouragement to enter the contest
again with new ardor. \Ve are assured that in
Stamford, Greenwich and Danbttry, “there is no
mistake.” In the '11th District, the \Vliigs have
elected six representatives out ofeleven; and
the tories two ; and for three, the choice is yet
to be made. To-morrow morning we shall re-
ceivc good news from the east ; news, we trust,
that will show Connecticut herself again. To

their cauditlate, and the possibility that hemtgltt
be the fatht 2' of the great anti—tnasonic party. It
is an error, however. Our respected l‘cllo'~\'
