BUCKS COUNTY BANK.
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. Bucks couaty Dem.
