The H Cholera Ship England. nnnv tllulv uo Aunlviv-J -' My letters will have prepared you for -the fearful commercial news which this mail takes with it. A fortnight ago I told youthat a panic was coniing-one which had not been equalled in later times. My foreboding has been realized with an iiitensitv which I had not anti- cipated. You can form but a faint idea presented yesterday. `For days the com- . mercial gloom had been deepenintr. . The bank had raised its rate of discount from 6 to 7, and yesterday so great was the demand for acconimod,ation.,Jthat the _ directors again raised it to 9. On Thurs- , day it was said that one great bank and a nance company must have gone, but thatthey succeeded in getting temporary assistance, and thus tided over the dif- gculty. But no one expected the great crash which came that night. About ten minutes to four o clock the discount house of Overend, Gurney 8.: Co., limit- ed, had to shut its doors. The an- -nouncement of the fact fairly stunned the town. If there `was one eslahli-'h- merit more than another which the gen- eral public believed would stand-almo..t ' any nancial shock, it was Overenci. Gurney & Co. It has st: through a great many crises when other houses were going down like card-built castles. It had made huge fortuiies for its fou'n- ders and their descendants; and it had a character for high probity and perlect solvency which none doubted. Last `August following it was believed the prevailing fashion of lhetinies, it was transferred to a joint stock company, the ` capitalof which was five millions. _Ofi this sum a million and a half was paid up, and the proprietors took about halfa million for their purchase money---a, large proportion of which was invested ` in the company. People were eager for l allotments in "so good a thing, and the -. shares went to a high premium. But it was not for loner. Those who were in- | timate wit} the interior of nancial ` operations klliew-that the old rm had made heavy losses. It was hoped, how. ever, that under the new management old` errors would be avoided, and the prestige of the house fully restored. Two or three nionths_ passed away, and then began a system of persecution` on the Stock Exchange. The bears set upon the company, and persistently bore down the shares until they fell to a l l l ofthe scene which .tlie city of London ,1 I I l . heavy discount.

When stricken the malady was so violent that in many_ cases the linfortunate creatures had scarcely power to indicate to a passer- ihy their present state. On the hospital ship the mortality was very great; it was irnpossihle to rally their. courage; when they felt themselves seized by the -scourge they seemed powerless, and im-' mediately gave themselves up to des- pondency. .We' stayed a few days at Halifax, when, by the energy and char- ity ofthe Board of Health officers, our health certificate was signed in due form, The odious yellow ag came down amid three hearty cheers of all on board. Our anchor is weighed, and we steam ahead slowly from the scenes of misery, sickness and death withajoy still mingled with sorrow, for we leave twenty-four of our companions still sick onjthe island; Some two or three days bring us to an anchor in the quarantine waters, Lower Bay, New York. On our arrival we find our sister ship, the Vir- ginia, lying in the same. bay with _the yellow ag (iolefully hanging, and as it were weeping over her ill-fated passen- gers; but still her position is not half so heartrending as was that ofthe unfortu- nate Englamlt A co15respond_e11t of the Toronto Globe writes from London in reference to the panic there as follows ;-- !\;Iu |..nn..-5 ...ill 1...... .....,........-J -..... l`..L.- sent- us four sisters of charity to take v care of the little orphans on V the island, and three others went to attend the sick on the hospital ship. Still death con- tinued its tearful havoc. While I'was taking my turn through the German section I nearly `stumbled overea man and his wite,locked m each otlxerlslarms, cold, black and lifeless. A few y`arcls on another woman had drawn her shawl over `her face, and had lain down and died.` ` ' g .c The Commercial Panic. nu.- WAsHiNG_MACHxNi: MANUFACTIJRER, BARRIEQ I i _There was one story which was told `With strange persistency. It was that `the great house of Pete, Betts & Co., had suspended payment. The story was denied by persons who professed to be _ well informed, but it came up again and again. At last, in the afternoon, the truth was ascertained. The rm issued a circular stating that they must sus- pend payment for a short time. It seems ` that there was a meeting of their credi- tors in the morning, when a statement of accounts showed the liabilities of the `firm to be about {our millions, of which 0 all but 200,000 was amply secured. 0 The creditors offered assistance, but Sir Morton Peto thought it better to suspend for a time, ` The assets are stated at up- _wards.of vemillvions. But these facts ` werenot all known on Friday evening, and the greatest consternation prevailed. Sir~Morton Petq hadvsaid a short time ago that his rm :em'ployed about 40,000 .men;, The fi\ot_was.3`i'remembered, and l,l,i0'.PeP'pialli,_result1_see_me.l olear that wnejarty-c200, 0,0]SQulI;,\V,Quld be left with- ` ~o'ma mhmror. an rim: :1; was fearful to &hilIk;'f11U'*hjere,thodi:t;re,ds%;vIould.end.

They surged up to the doors and forced back the policemen who were -placed there to keep away for those who had business todo. Every minute cahs drove up to the edge of the crowd, and anxious wo- men or aged men alighted, and with `difficulty made their way to the bank ' where their deposits \vere. Later, when .the newspapers had had time to get into the country, and the trains to return, countrymen made their appearance and eagerly elbowed their way to the banks to secure what they mighthave there. The Directors of the Bank of England met and raised the. rate of discount to nine per cent But at "that rate vast amounts were taken from their coffers. During the day it seems they paid out A nearly four million$--reducing their re- serve by. close upon three millions. Condence had utterly gone. Nothing `but unreasoning panic prevailed. Two` nance companies had to close their doors, and the wildest rumours ew about from mouth to mouth. "III . nu Whatever evil they may have ex- . pected seems to be realized on Friday morning. The city, as early as nine o clocl:, was a scene of the wildest con- fusion. Lombard street, Brecbin lane, Bartholomew lane, and the other bank- ing streets were crowded \vith dense. massess of people, many of whom were simply idle spectators,but others ofwhout were depositors in one or other of the banks, anxious'at the very. first moment to hand their cheques over the counters. Most of the banks opened their doors at nine o clock Instead of ten; and they I stood the run bravely. One, however, ' had sztccurnbed. It was the English Joint Stock Bank, which some time ago toolk over the business of Messrs. }Roglersi, Olt ing & Co.,ar.d subsequently a )S0l' )C( several country banks. It was unable to go on, and therefore, stopped. lts business was not very large. The bank, however, had a sort of historical interest --a fact which! am bound to say 1 do not believe, inuenced very much the excited people in the city. Samuel Rogers the poet and dainty literary man was, in his lifetime. the head of the firm of Rogers, Oldingc Co., on which, as I have said, the English Joint Stock Bank was founded. He probably never ima- gined that his name would be bandied from mouth to mouth as it was yester- V day. But it,is needless to speculate on what he thought or did. The fact re- mains that the bank stopped. But sub- sequently a circular was issued announc- ing that steps were being taken -which would enable business to be commenced very` shortly. - Ivoo I-Ill-||I I-IIIUU IAIIIIIQIIQ Ul |llVll\2 _o . The catastrophe occurred just before_ the ofcial close ofthe Stock Exchange, and it sent almost every security on the market down with an impetus which nothing could check. Some bank and nance shares were offered for nothing, and in everything the depreciation was frightful. It was not merely the failure oftlie day-, gigantic as it was, but it was the thought of what must inevitably fol- low. It was known that some great` contracting. firms would be crippled for want of the assistance they had hitherto received from Overend_, Gurney & Co. The parlors ofthe Stock Exchange \vere crowded till late at night. Nay, up to midnight, and still later, stockbrokers and others haunted their ofnes, and with .{everish*impatience went in and out of the news rooms, which were kept open. An opinion had become preva- lent that negotiations were aloot to settle the warlike aspect ofthings on the continent ; `and some news about it was expected every moment. Needless to say, it did not come, and it is fair to pre- sumo that most city men were sleepless `that night. vand gaveexplanatious to those xiihohad a right to ask him. Meantime a crowd had gathered round the doors, and was growing thicker and thicker every min- ute. The `ge eral public,asI have said, would not be ieve the announcement of the stoppage, and it seemed as it noth- ing bnt actual inspection of the notice itself would `convince them. It was stated that the total liabilities of the concern are about twenty-one millions, against which there are securities to the amount A perhaps of twenty millions. Some of the securities will not realize the advances made upon them, and the net less to the shareholders will not be less than three millions of money.
