Kvcrv bodv, who has any knowledge of banking, knows, that great caution must be used in the commencement : but little business can be done, and, ofjgain, who will subscribe ?

It surely comes with an ill grace from the new subscribers, now that the experiment is made the burdens re- ; moveil and no risk remains, to claim4fi' a reward for their delay. But let us examine a little into the positive loss they will sustain by the postponement, and see if it be unreasonable. Their payments will be in paper ; no pre miums therefore will be given for gold "and silver. They are to be deferred two years : calculating from the first Monday of December next, to the first Monday in December, 1820, when the joint capital will begin to work for the benefit of all he stockholder ; ant! the next dividend, after that period, will not be that of an infant bank strug gling for existence,but the liberal earn -I in irs of a tried A successful institution .

JVvtu. the large capitalist, instead ot rooming about the country quest ot names to ot names to augment his banking capital, must content himself j with something like a proper share with his neighbours.

If they could do this, they could judge torus in any other ques Hon relating to the management of the ink, and would soon become the real Directors ; while we should be but mere automatons to do their will. We consider that subscriptions by proxy are not of right, but gratuitous on the part ot the Directors. There is a dark insinuation in the message which seems to imply no small degree of turpitude.-and which it be comes us to notice. The words are. "- that proxies, the old, faithful, and A tried frieu:U of Bankers, are dis carded ami forbidden to enter even the thrtihotd of the Bank.

Antl if it be meant that time-serving .;;ien. who have received favours of the j;Directors, are to requite them clande- j tiuelv : the foul thought is rejected as unwrJJiv and ail such insinuations jare looked upon with the most inefta- - . - jlble contempt. j!

But we think, that4 in character, as in Architecture, proportion is beauty' This is the expression of a consistent female, at whose feet. both. Governors and Bank prudence- wifhout .lhonniirino- their r- 7 ' " f O stations. We denlore the cause which has brought us before the public : and we sincerely regret that His Excellency should have thought himself justifiable in ascribing to us impure motives. We have ever entertained a hiirh res- ipect for his character ; and we should 1 uo w sympathize with him for any abber ! ration of duty whereby the state or his sown character might receive a shock. . .c .xi- !
