Veteran Hoyt favored for commissioner by Seward foes
The text recalls Hoyt's long service in the Custom-House and his later push for the Commissioner post, blocked by Van Buren allies in the Senate, contrasted with the rise of Mings and Slams under Van Buren influence. It also notes London and parliamentary news, Russian rail road economics, Jamaica sugar labor, and a Cincinnati swindle called the Union Bank of Exchange.

Buffalo Exchange Bank plans and curious notices
The New Banking Law certificate for a Buffalo Exchange Bank is filed in the County Clerk's office. It schedules a $200000 capital with possible growth to $10000000 and lists Stephen L. Petrie of Cleveland and Henry Petrie of Rochester as stockholders. The articles date February 1 1839 and extend to the year 4000, with operations to begin April 1. Also noted are shifts in packet ship liquor policy and a combative political blurb about Mr Chatfield's Maine New Brunswick quarrel proposal, viewed as tabled by the legislature.
