In the m Nin time Huw Evi a the inclination to by Lieng that what is most for severely than any other portion of Community. It affords gratification to state that he business of most of the branches has been so conducted As to have no direct influence in raising the Price of real property in their immediate Vicinity and it is believed that it has not been a leading motive at Najiy of them to effect this object and if for want of other customers too Many Loans have been heretofore made to speculators in land and town lots this evil will soon be corrected. Busi Iress paper More than can be discounted is now Ufa ered to several of the branches and at All of them a rapid Inci Case of business profitable to them and useful to the country May be perceived. If the r operations be thus conducted lands will Advance in Price produce Rise in value and towns increase in size on the basis of solid business and the occasional depress Ion of either will not be seriously Felt either by the Bank or Community that such depreciation May take place and at no Distant period is not improbable. Produce for some years has borne High prices from various causes. A Large amount has been required for the accommodation of pm. Grants. The three last seasons have not been As productive As us Ual. The High prices of Coon the great amount of capital introduced into some of the states and the rapid improvements made there within a few years have occasioned an unusual demand for our products. The Price of Cotton is depreciating that of other property will probably follow and if Stich Harves s should be Here gathered As have been heretofore the prices May be As they have been or of their present rates. The rents and of course the Price of land must fall to the injury and per haps the ruin of such Asare indent and calculating to pay by the produce of the soil or an increase fits value. These fluctuations in prices May be greater than Ever heretofore if a Gen eral system of internal improvements be commenced in the state and nothing occur to Check the extravagant calculations that under such Circum. Tances May be indulged. The Bank May exercise an important influence in these matters by withholding its Aid in encouragement from All schemes Uncertain in their result and that Are adapted More for private advantage than Public Good and this will be of the More importance from he vast Field for business now opening around us into which Many will Rush without any experience of the Dill cuties to be encountered in the West. As the resources of the state Are improved or its capabilities ascertained there will be opportunities in the establishment of manufactories and the greater diversity of pursuits to insure More regularity in prices than has hereto fore existed. When experience has Shewn what will be the demand for an article the Over production and consequent reaction As to Price will in a measure Ccase. In the formation of the charter Fortis institution it could hardly be expected that no subsequent amendments should be necessary yet after the experience already had there is very Little which it is desirable to change. The machinery works Well and its construction is creditable to the null or. There arc however some restrictions which perhaps might be removed without endangering the Saf Ety of the Bank or the interests of the Public and further privileges it is believe i i Mij til be granted by Wlinich it will be the better Able to meet the new i mands constantly making upon it y a rapidly improving Community. In most parts of the stale there Are particular seasons of he year when he d Viand for a Pipit Ilia my h Gre tier and its much More Bene Micsa than at other times. More Means for the Purchase and exportation of produce Are required at the River branches during the autumn and Winter than they can Supply and in but the time required to Transfer the funds paid on new Orleans Pifie to the Eastern cities and the to Ages which arise from keeping funds to draw upon in new York and Liila Delphia will probably prevent nil arrangements of the contemplated. That Banks should be allowed to contract and expand their operations to some extent As the wants of Busic Ness May require must be a privilege of great value to lie Public. They can furnish Money for Short business transactions at a profit by expanding their circulation White individuals will not keep Money on hand for Tempora. By purposes. It is therefore respect fully suggested that the charter be so amended As to allow the branches under such restrictions As shall be proper to extend at least occasional Dis. Counts to a larger amount than twice their capital. An enlargement of the capital at some of the branches appears to be required at this time and will soon be needed at others. The individual deposits in All the branches for the last half year five been As follows at the close of each month Viz june. 272.987 42 july. 306,673 52 August. 322,370 30 september. 312,673 90 october. 323,407 94 november. 379,643 00 these amounts do not include the government deposits and Are larger in proportion to the capital than those of any country Banks in the u. States or than most of the City Banks. By the 109 h Section of the charter the state reserves the Power of investing its education and other funds in the Bank so As Quot to make them More productive Quot and by the Slot Section the Bank May Quot receive deposits on such terms and conditions As May be agreed upon Quot yet by the present charter the funds of the state not subscribed As Stork cannot be productive nor can the deposits As they Are now made be profitable to the depositors or an object of much consequence to the Bank. But if something like a Sav. Ings fund institution could be engrafted on the branches if they were in. Courage to pay a Small interest on deposits left for fixed periods and if these could be used in the Purchase of business paper or other Safe trans actions Many of the wants and necessities which our increasing business requires might be supplied by Means that Are now without use or Benefit. All experience is in favor of the Happy influence of savings Banks. They promote Economy and regularity they encourage to action and Industry and As the Fen Dancy of Money is to flow to places of business May not an Amend ment to the charter be devised in this respect that will add not less to the interest of the state than to the Comfort and Prosperity of individuals respectfully submitted on behalf of the directors of the state Bank.

Since the conf i Gration of Moscow no calamity by fire so extensive and so dreadful has befallen any City in the Wold the tire broke out in merchant Street in it triangular Block formed by Wal William and Pearl 8 Rees at about nine o clock last night.

The consequence was thai the fire held the Mastery through the night spreading with great and destructive rapidity. It was an awful in by for new York and for the country. But we can neither describe the grandeur of the spectacle nor the desolation brought More distinctly to View by the morning Light.
