Large throngs assembled in front of the bank on Sat urday, and many anxious looks were cast upon the closed doors and windows; but the apprehonsion at no time amounted to a panic. An impression prevailed to some extent that a personal misunderstanding had existed between the Examiner and the President, and that it was possible that the difficulty might be settled. and that the bank might resume business, upon an explanation to the Treasury Department. It was also confidently asserted that 110 depositor would suffer loss, as the bank was abundantly able to meet all liabilities; that the Directors had not been aware of any trouble until within a few days of the suspension, and that the President was confident of his ability to successfully contest the action of the Examiner. An impression also prevailed that the stockholders would be the principal, if not the only, suf ferers by the failure of the bank. How far these impressions went to allay the uneasiness of the depositors it would be difficult to determine. The chief trouble occasioned by the suspension was among the depositors, the majority of whom are manufacturers and small trades people of the Eastern District, and the inconvenience felt by these persons upon the refusal of the bank officers to cash their Saturday checks was in many instances very annoying. It is said that Mr. Henry Steers, the Greenpoint ship-builder, 18 a depositor in the bank to the amount of about $50,000. The Farmers' and Citizens' Bank is the same which, on the 19th of January, 1866, lost $10,000. by its messenger, Mr. Terry, being knocked down and robbed at the intersection of Beekman and William-sts., New-York, at 9 o'clock in the morning, while on his way to a bank with exchanges. This large amount was never recovered, nor were the robbers ever arrested. The Dime Savings Bank, the German Savings Bank, and the Williamsburgh City Savings Bank are said to have been depositors in the Farmers' and Citizens' to 8 large amount. The Williamsburgh Savings Bauk is said to be interested in the sum of $75,000. and the Gerinan about $60,000; while the miscellaneous deposits are estimated at about $1.000,000. Of course when the facts respecting the Savings Bank became known, the excitement proportionately increased in extent and power, and the Savings Banks were also visited by auxious and inquiring multitudes of small depositors, and at one time a panic was apprehended, but nothing of the kind occurred. These are the facts concerning the suspension of the Farmers' and Citizens' National Bank of Williamsburgh, so far as they can be reached at present. Numbers of rumors are afloat, but with what foundation cannot now be determined. The Merchants' and Traders' Bank of Greenpoint, a branch of the National Bank, but conducted for the past nine months under the general banking laws of the State as a State Bank, of which Mr. Beach was also President likewise suspended payment, upon receiving intelligence of the failure of the parent institution, where all the funds of the Greenpoint establishment are said to have been deposited. The officers of this Bank are : O. M. Beach, President: F. A. Thurston, Cashier; directors John J. Hicks, David Sturtevant, Sylvester Tuttle, George Ricard, Watson Sanford, Howell Smith, David Williams, S. W. Woollsey, and S. M. Beard. Of course, the suspension of this concern created a corresponding anxiety and alarm among the Greenpoint depositors. It was reported in commercial circles on Friday that the First National Bank of Kingston, N. Y., had lost about $100,000 through the indiscretion or defalcation of its President. About $8,000 of the bank's paper was consequently thrown out. The facts are now said to be that Mr. Hasbrouck, the President of the bank, was indebted to the institution to the amount of $91,000 or $92,000. Mr. Hasbrouck has placed all his property iu the hands of the directors of the bank. He had al ways borne a good character, and his friends cannot learn that he has lost any money by speculation. The officers of the institution have promptly made arrangements to redeem their outstanding paper, and all of their notes held against the bank in this city have been redeemed. The bank is solvent. but the stock will probably be slightly affected by the defalcation.

BANK FAILURES. SUSPENSION OF THE FARMERS' AND CITIZENS' NATIONAL BANK OF WILLIAMSBURGH, AND THE MERCHANTS' AND TRADERS' BANK OF GREENPOINT - TROUBLE IN A KINGSTON BANK. A wide-spread excitement was created in Brooklyn, E.D., on Saturday. by the announcement that the Farmers' and Citizens' National Bank of Williams" burg had suspended payment, and that the funds had been placod in the hands of Mr. Frederick A. Platt, as receiver, acting under orders from the Controller of the Currency. The Bank was organized in 1852, under the old State Law; and in 1865 it continued business under the National Bank system, with a capital stock of $300,000, in 15,000 shares at par value of $20. These shares were last quoted at 108. According to'the regulations of the National Treasury, the Farmers' and Citizens' Bank with other National Banks of the same class, was compelled to reserve a fund of legal-tenders in its vaults amounting to at least fifteen per cent of the gross sum of the deposits and circulation. The Farmers' and Citizens' held on deposit about $1,000,000, and was permitted to issue National Bank Currency notes in the sum of about $250,000. It also had about $9,000 old State notes afloat. and 88 these, as fast as gathered in, were converted into the national ourrency notes, they were counted in by the Government as a portion of the bank's circulation. On the 20th of July last, Mr. Callendar, the Government Examiner. visited the bank, and found the amount of funds on hand not suf. ficient to answer the requirements of the law. He gave Mr. Beach, the president, the usual 30 day's notice, and again visited the bank on Monday last. The deficiency (said to be $45,000), had not been made good; and a subsequent representation of these facts to the Controller at Washington elicited an official order-published in Saturday's TRIBUNE-appointing Mr. Platt receiver. Mr. Platt took possession of the bank on Friday, although the fact of the suspension having taken place did not become generally known until the following day. The officers of the bauk include some of the best known, most wealthy, and trustworthy men of the city, by naine as follows: President, Oren M. Beach; Cashier, Henry W. Redfield; Directors, C. M. Beach, John Hicks, Sylvester Tuttle, S. W. Woolley. Watson Sanford, Howell Smith, Anthony Betts, David Sturtevant, W. I. Pooley, Sylvester M. Beard, Geo. Ricard, David Williams, Daniel D. Lear. The business of the bank has heretofore been considered most prosperous. A dividend of five per cent was declared last July, and the statement at that time was as follows:

FROM WASHINGTON. / WASHINGTON, Sept. 12. The Intelligencer has an editorial, in which it strongly hints at an uprising of the people in Maine, and of such a character that it is the President's duty to vacate most of the Federal offices in that State and fill them with Democrats and conservatives. NEW YORK, Sept. 12. The Times' Washington special says: It has been repeatedly stated that a dispatch, dated August 13th, from Gen. Grant to Gen. Sickles, which was printed Saturday last, completed the correspondence. This is not the case. There are one or two other brief dispatches, and a letter from Gen. Grant to Gen. Sickles, dated August 24th, which, ber ing understood by the latter to be private, he has not published, although Grant intended his authorization to cover everything. In this letter Grant commends the wisdom of Sickles' acts. A deputation of the officers and directors of the Farmers' and Citizens' National Bank, Brooklyn, consisting of Dr. M. Beach, President, Smyth Sheldon, S. M.

There is great doubt if the Comptroller has the power, under the law, to suspend proceedings after they are once begun, and the application of these parties is suspended pending a legal opinion on the point. Further correspondence relative to the Al. abama claims against Great Britain is made public. August 27, 1866, Secretary Seward sent to Minister Adams a summary of the claims of the citizens of the United States for damages from the privateers fitted out from British ports, and requests that Lord Stanley may be informed that the settlement of these claims has become urgently necessa. ry, to re establish entirely the friendly rela. tiobs between the United States and Great Britain.
