Money has been rather more tight in the house today. The failure of the bank of Hector and Co. of Petersfield was made public to-day. It appears, if the reports current in respectable quarters may be credited, that Mr. Hector, who is represented as a person of considerable landed property, offered security to his London agents to double the amount of the accommodation or advances required in solid acres, that is in mortgages upon them, but was refused. It was probably feared that in case of need, or when the term arrived for turning the assets into cash, they might not be found so readily convertible as would be desirable. Considering the amount for which the suspended bank has stopped, for 30,000l. only as said, it might be wished that means should have been devised if possible to have wound up the concern without a formal failure, which, although not productive of any great extent of mischief individually, is, in the present state of credit and the money-market, likely to prove prejudicial far beyond the limited sphere of the bank's operations.
