The return of the New York Associated Banks issued tlis aiternoon is fully in accordanco with the accounts of renewed stringency in the Ne'w York Money Market which have been telegraphed during the week. The reserve has diminished by the sum of £280,000, the specie having fallen off £340,000, while the legal tenaders have increased £60,000, and the surplus of the reserve above the legal minimuim of 25 per cent. if the deposits required to be held has been 'urned into a deficit.
