Some alarm existed last week rela tive to the affairs of the Farmers Bank of Bucks county. The causes of this may be gathered from the following statement of what are believed to be facts. On Saturd:y, the 30h June, the president of the bank was arrested in Philadelphia, and bound over Lo answer the charge ol conspiring, with others, to destroy the sloop Norfolk at sca, with intent to defiaud the Insurers. On Monday, he was removed by the directors trom the pre sidency, and James Moon was appoinied president, fre. tem. in his room. On Tuesday the run upon the bank was very great, and the directors (who since Sunday bad beco intently engaged 1p an exam ination into the situation ot the bank) thought proper to close its doors and stop payment of its notes. On, Wed- nesday the notes. were said to be at a discount of 45 por cent. in Philadelphia From this statemsnt, it is apparent that there was reasonable ground ef apprehersion ; but it is eonfidently be- lieved, from a sirict examination made by the directors, that the bank 18 not only able to pay all its notes, but that after their payment, its capital stock will be nearly or quite unimpaived.—- The directors have given the most sol: emn assurances of its solvency to all enquirers, and from their high standing and respons ibility as men of wealth anc character, no doubt can be entertained of the currectness of the statements they have made; the delay of pay- ment will pot, it is believed, exceed thirty days ; it will therefore be lolly in the hoider of a note to take a cent less for it than the amount it calls for. The directors in‘end as soon as prac. ticable, to publish a statem- nt of their affairs lor the formation of the public. With respect to the horrible cnarge against him, the late president has not yet been quite fairly treated by the editors of newspapers; in all 1t is taken for granted ne is guilty. It 's therefore only fair to say, that as res pectable men as we have in our coun: tvy, who have heard the evidence against him, and also what he has to alledge in his d fence, firmly believe not only that he is innocent of the crime imputed to him, but that he will be able make it manifest to the world.
