Panic in Nov York.
A panic exists in Wall street ! Last
week the Ohio Life and Trust Compa
ny, a branch of the old establishment
at Cincinnati, and_ looked upon as relia
ble, went by the board, under an indebt
edness of several millions; and of course,
a number of the suutlisF fry wont down
with it : John Thompson, the bank note
broker, 'and the broker firms of Bono
diet & Co., and Pishor 4 co., together
with Jacob Little, the Lomat bear oper
ator in stocks of Wall street; who rails
on all convenient occasions, but this
time minor axes his liabilities at flee
millions of dollars.!—lienvier, than ever
before. A numbor of " funoy" Banks
are also reported "broke," or bad, and
among them the Warren Bank, of War
ren, Pa., and Kanawha Bank, of Vir
ginia. The failure of the Ohio Life
and Trust. Company is 'attributed to
over-dealing in stocks, and- , the borrow
ing of too mneh‘fieconupodation'aionoy.
The money affairs Of the country,
outside of Wall street influence, are in
a sound condition, and'are not likely to
be at all affected by this temporary
chock upon the operations of the "bulls
and bears."

Tho effort to lay down the telegraph

another check, which is sincerely to be

hind,rance. The following is an account
of the disaster:
