From Delhi the intelligence comes down
to August 12, at which lime the city was
still in the bauds of the insurgents. A good
deal of skirmishing had taken place, the rebels
being invariably defeated, but with considera
ble loss to the British.
The mutiueers made great preparations for
an attaca on ine aist oi July, tlie eve or the
Bukree red festival ; but nothing occurred
beyond some desultory skirmishing. On the
evening of Aug 1st, they attacked the right
cf the British position, and maintained the
contest through the night, and np to the
afternoon of August 2d. English loss was
very slight 10 killed and 30 wounded.

Mb. Dallas and Mr. Crampton. Mr.
Crampton, the late British Minister to this
country, is said to have treated our Minister
in London quite radcly. The Washington
correspondent of the New York Times says :
It appears that Mr. Crampton repeatedly
and in the most public and marked manner
has avoided Mr. Dallas notwithstanding the
best efforts of the latter to evince the kindest
and most cordial feeling on his own part. On
one occasion recenllv, while Air. Dallas was
walking the street in company with a British
nobleman, Mr. Crampton was observed np
proaching from the opposite direction, but
upon seeing our minister he suddenly passed
np an alley way and again avoided mm

New York, Oct. 13. To-day has been a
most exciting one in financial matters. Up
to 2 o'ciock, fifteen of the city bonks suspend,
ed specie payments, ef which the following is
a revised list, viz :
Bank of New York. Artisan', St. Nicholas
Chatham, Ocean Market. Butchers and
Drovero', Merchants' Exchange, Irving. Cit
izens', Tradesmen', Bull' Head, New York
Exchange, North River and Marine.
Wall street at 2 o'clock was crowded with
an anxious mass of people. The steps or all
the banks were also blocked by people forcing
their way into the banks. At the American
Kxchange Bank David Leavit addressed the
crowd, assuring them t tin 1 tho bank would
pay all, to the tart dollar. He also annonnced
that an arrangement had been made with
several of tho strongest bunks to go through
without suspension. It is believed, however,
that the suspension will bo general. It is
understood that somo or our heaviest houses
have withdrawn their gold from the banks
and replaced it as a special deposit. There
were rumors during the day, affecting nearly
all the banks in the city, but the above list
gives all that certainly suspended up to 3
o'clock.
The run on tho Brooklyn Savings Bank
was renewed to-day, but with lets vigor, the
Bank paying promptly.
Severul failures among the dry goods firms
are announced, but none very prominent.
Tiir Latest. The ran upon the Mechan
ics', Merchants', Bank of America, Manhat
tan and American Banks, was severe, and
continued up to the close nf business.
The Broadway ISank held out till nearly 3
o'clock, paying out $ 140,000 in specie, when
it gave out.
The Leather Manufacturers' Bank subse
quently closed its doors.
The Seventh Ward and Fulton Banks held
out under a tremendous pressure.
The People's Bank closed at two o'clock,
after paying nut $19,000 iu specie during the
day.
The Bank of New York paid out its last
dollar, and certified all checks presented, and
then yielded.
The American Exchango Bank paid all
demands, but several others shut out their
customers at three o'clock.
The Bank of North America was protested
tuts afternoon.
The Corn Exchange Bank refused lo pay
specio.
At the Stock Exchange stocks all took a
rise, under the belief, that the Bauk will all
suspend to-morrow.
'Jen o'clock, P. M. It is reported, en
pretty good authority, that the Bank Presi
dents are now in session, aud have resolved
to suspend.
The following is the official action of the
meeting of Bank Presidents:
The Banks have resolved to suspend specie
payments as fur as paying over the counters
is concerned, and make a regular exchange of
eacn other bills at toe clearing house. Also,
to send a committee to confer with the Gov
ernor in reference to calling a meeting of the
Legislature. The committee leaves for Al
bany at noon to-morrow.
