Though your Committee are aware, that not only the convenience of Ihe public but I lie interest of the Institution require an ad ditional emission of ils notes, and although they believe, that with a reasonable degree of exertion on the part of the cashier these may he executed and put in circulation, w bile, the business of tile Bank is confined to its present limit ; yet they are satisfied that a considerable extension of tile ordinary business of the Institution, would render it wholly impossible for its officers to perform this service : it is therefore respectfully suggested, that Congress be prayed also lo pass a law, uuthnriz og other Agents of the Bank to sign ils notes, and io the mean t me the. Committee recommend that the best means in the power of Ihe I’rcsideut and Directors be taken, to put in circulation a large additional amount of notes not ex ceeding the denomination of 20 dollars. Your Committee have not discovered that any serious consequences have resulted to the interests of the Bank (except those which haw* been followed by a public ex posure,) from a want of obedience in distant agents ; lin y nevertheless deem it proper to advise that the President anti Directors of tl'.n Parent Bank keep steadily in view the absolute necessity of enforcing its own orders through all the various departments ofiIm Institution; without which, neither harmony can be expected it) its adminis tration, nor security to the interests of its stockholders. Your Committee feel mill'll gratification in being able to state, that the current ex penses of the Bank have heen essentially reduced since the year IBID, and while it might he supposed that the present embar rassed state of the commerce of the coun try, anil the limited amount of interest here tofore divided upon tile capital of the Bank, are strong admonitions to j our agents to ob serve the most rigid economy; yet, inas much as the epic mid edifice in w hich you are .assembled is now so nearly completed, they cannot hut recommend that it tie fin ished, provided the expense shall not ex ceed 25,060 dollars. In taking into view the business of the Bank as connected with its different offices, the Committee think it right to recommend to the continued attention of the President and ytrecfiytj; tfee evsessity of uilWcatving those Branches which are found to he tin profitable, and transferring tticir funds to those offices which shall sewn to require additional capital. Your Committee take great pleasure in unanimously declaring that the circumstan ces of the Bank fully realize the anticipa tions of the Stockholders as expressed at their last meeting, in regard to the Presi dent, wholly his talents, disinterestedness and assiduity, have placed its affairs io an attitude so sale and prosperous, as that the burthen of duly devolving upon his succes sor, will he comparatively tight. TIIOS. ELLICOTT, Chairman of the Committee of Inspection and investigation. Hank of the C . it;J S!at:j, October I at, 192 2. EXTRACT 1 ram the Exposition made by Mr. Chevcs, President U. S. Bank, to the Stock holders. The several funds which may be reli ed upon to extinguish the estimated los ses are the following: 1. A contingent fund ol actual profits which has been reserved of 3,650,000 dollars. 2. Any excess beyond the par value of 37,954 shares of the capital stock of the Bunk, pledged to it and standing in its corpo rate name on the books. Though the debts secured by these shares are only estimated at par, they give a claim lo the Bank which will cover any value be yond par which the shares many hereaf ter bear. 3. The stint of 215,796 dol lars 7 cents, now standing lo the credit ot protit and loss. 4. The sum of 1,279,- 520 dollars 04 emits, arrears of interest tine the Bank. It must he remarked that tins last sum includes interest as well on debts estimated as bad and doubt ful as on those deemed good. There is now no charge on the Bank besides or dinary current charges, except 60,000 dollars semi annually, w hich will if ap plied lor Ihe duration of the charter, ex tinguish the bonus, the premium on the live per cent, loan, and within a trifle of forty per cent, of the cost of banking houses with having been erected, and of any that in all likelihood will be hereaf ter erected, as well as the completion of the building in which you are assembled ; anil although I have been opposed and have even entered uiy dissent upon the journals, to some of the acts of the board to relation to this building, I neverthe less do advise as it is so near completion and is so beautiful a specimen of archi tecture, that it he finished. It never a- tratn can he done at so small an expense, Si never under the superintendance of an agent more skilful, faithful, economical St accurate, than the gentleman who plan ned and has so far executed it. The ad ditional expense will be small. It was expected by the stockholders at the last meeting that the Bank would have been enabled to have repaired the losses which had been sustained, and have made a dividend in January, 1320. Tims the increaseil estimates of th(> losses and rite stagnation of trade concurred to prevent, while the same causes have diminished the amount of the dividends which have since been made. It will he seen, however on re- lerencp to the accompanying statement that the Bank would have been able to : have made dividends which would, n© (doubt, have been satisfactory to Ihe stockholders during Ihe whole period of this administration, had it not been in cumbered, as well with the losses as the various embarrassments which belonged, j in their origin, to a previous period, j 1 he expenses ot the Institution very soon attracted the attention of the pre sent administration, but it was not prac ticable to reduce them immediately.— An ttccompaii) ing statement however will shew, that much has been done to wards the ac -rniplishruent of this object. The amount is still enormous compared with the profits growing out of the pro per operations of Banking, that is to say, the profits of the Bank, exclusive of the Dividends received on tlie funded debt which it holds and which require no management or expense in the receipt of them. The monthly statements of the Bank exhibit an analysis of the state and cur rent business of the Bank and the seve ral Otlices a« perfect as the nature of the subjects will permit ; but if taken with out exploitations they tire often likely to be misled. No attempt at this time and in this form to give such explanations in a general w ay would he admissible or practicable, but all such will he cheer fully anti promptly given in reply to eve ry inquiry, on particular points which in.tv be'pt esented. You w ill probably desire to have some notices of the condition of the principal funds in which the Capital is invested.— This I will briefly attempt :— I. The Discounted Paper. The cur rent paper of thi? Bank and its office? i« probably as good, or belter, than the current paper of other Banks, in the places respectively were it is due.— There is, however, unfortunately a hea vy mil's ofsttspended paper on which in terest is continually accruing, a great part of which will, no doubt, in time be reco vered, but which adds little or nothing at 'he present time, to the ftnJ from which the Bank is to divide. 'There is one portion of this which independent ol the losses already sustained by it, anil which are included in the estimates, I consider as very good and produclt- I mean the forfeited stock ennusting of 37,95-1 shares which may tie r.omuderi d as a reduction of it capital quit" too large, to the extent of their par value. II. The Funded Debt held by tin- Bank. This now consist?, with toe ex ception of a very inconsider.iiih: sum of seven millions of five per sent, slock subscribed by the Government ; of two millions of six per cent, stock put- chased in 1820, redeemable at the pleasure of the Government ; of four millions of live per rent, slock ptiri hn?ed in 1821, and redeemable on the ,'tl-i of December 1835. The two million of six per cent, stock, of Ihe L-mn ol 1820, will, in all likelihood, be speedtl redeemed. The four million? of five pe - cents, are longer irredeemable than am other stock of the Government of the U. Slates, N Itpuce probably this stock is more valuable than tiny other stock of the Government of the United Slates. Iti- quoted higher in the London market than the ttverage of the six per cent, stork When the Bank obtained this stork it was deemed a great bargain. It is now on - usually depressed, from causes which cannot be permanent, and some stor k- holders who urged the Bank lo end-,-a vour to take it at nnv price, begin now to doubt whether Hie Institution were not better without it. If it wore now sold it a profitable rate, ns it urn he, the ?atne persons, if it rise, would C' ndeuio the sale ol it. Leaving those persons thru to the indulgence of their opinions, it may he remarked that the more toe Bank can retain of this stock the better t’-.-r the institution. It wants active fund? h it for two purposes : Firstly, to pay the loan of g 1,000.000, due in London.— And, secondly, to give additional Capi tal to its offices. All Ihe offices south of Bhil(delphia, I venture to se.v. have a? much capital as they can u-o advanta geously. 1 cannot stop to give, my reasons for this opinion. It i? doubtful whether more than half a million in addition to ils present funds could be j rofitablv em ployed at the parent Bank : morn ihnn an additional million I am satisfied remittances required, than incur the suspicion of having misled the holders • f stock who had made the requisition I erlmps under the impression that the II {.’illation was not disadvantageous lo tile o k, and that it would lie permanent ; ■ to all others, there was no pretend f claim. There is one case of 354U -bare- which is under consideration. Inch ilia bank has heretofore deter bined not u> be entitled to this privilege, hut U)i parlies have urged a reconsiders- ion of it. ! | this be embraced, the num ber o| shares on who h the bank bus de tot mined to continue remittances will be 15.3.50. it they be excluded, tbe uum- bur will be 11,790 shares. rnon THE I’KMIII.ETON MF.S?ie.XGBR. AGKICULTUH.VL. To ascertain the cause of the rot in cotton, bus caused le -s exertion of talents than per haps any other evil which ever prevailed in tbe country, of equal magnitude. Instead of leaving it for the discovery of superficial observers as have hitherto been engaged in ibe business, would a chymist undertake it > ho is able to analyze the different parts o! lie plant, it is confidently bclievnd tbe task would be found roil to be a difficult one. I nave no pretensions to a sufficient know ledge in that since lor such an undertaking, I loerefo e adopted tbe plan which next in order, promised the greatest pruspict ol success. I have lately visited all the plantations in toy neighoorhood for the. purpose of ob serving the effect, of previous crops, and th present method of cultivation—and have made the following remarks. First, that the injury is greatest in those fields, which hav e produced cotton the great) ?! inimbe: of year? i i succession—Secondly, that three methods have heen pursued for several years past, of preparing Ihe land proviuus lo planting. One is, to open tbe old land- "i’ll a coulter—the second U> plough them down, and make new lands io the same places—third, to fallow the land, and make new ones io the spaces between tbe old out.?. Where the first nu-thud lias been long pursued, the number of rotten pods are in proportion to tbe sound ones, as two, or Hirer to one—where the second me thod lias been pursued equally luog, abotil half, and considerably less where tbe land has been prepared in the way last mention ed ; t ongli the weed is generally not so large. From these re marks, I draw the fol lowing conclusions, to wit : Hint though ve- geia’ion of every kind feeds on the same substances, yet these substances are differ ently proportioned in different plants. One kind requiring more nitre, another more al not under any circumstances, be profila- | kan, &.r, That by raising the same plants bly employed at Netv-York, (a great m«-j [ ' 11 *7-''''‘ number ol years io the same nv crude suggestions to the contrary not-I ll, ‘* '' xIk ' 1 !' 1 Ah'* substance 1 , •- , 111 ,, , , f , "bicti constitutes their favorite, urprmii- vvivl.stan.hu- :) ant I doubt whether at ,,,„ f as t „ m)dl . r it | t . ss .vr.Juctivre* this moment a dollar more ought tn be than if cultivated in plants, which principal added; though I ntn of opinion that n food is some other substance. 1 ack.ow million ought to be added lo Hie capital b ilge that the argument thus far, only goe of that office at a proper time, making thi' capital 2,500,000 dollars. Haifa million added to the capital of the office at Boston, making Ihe capital 1,500,000 dollars will be enough for that office.— All this will he supplied by the redemp tion of the two millions 6 per cent loan, undifa lit!ic more be necessary, it will soon be supplied from the suspended debt. 1 think therefore, if the Bank find it necessary to part with a million and 11 halt of this loan, it ought to do il with regret ; but it should on no ac count, part with more. The unextin- gnislied part of the premium of this !oa don quotations are 95 a 96, and the e change in favour of London 10 to 10 1-2 per cent. It is obvious, therefore, that at the lowest quotations now or at any other time of this stock, it would realise Hie cost, in connexion with the rate of exchange, the ri?e nf which against this coun’ry, is supposed to be the principal cause of the depression of this stock.- There is one error in relation to this subject which it may be worth explain ing. It is supposod by some, that, because the government of the United States have not been enabled to convert their six per cent stocks into fives, that a five per cent stock is deemed undesirable how the necessity of a rotation of crops, but may not the want of that substance, prevent the due organization of the sap and oilier substance contained in it, and may ... . , — not that want of organization, during the(' or ! , e ,,re '^formed that the mnnii sages) independent ot the mail, Hie un- dertaing of the stage-driver was that ofn common earlier, and as such nothing could excuse the loss except the act of God or the public enemy. The Court held further, that no packets of mer chandise, itc. are within Hie said prohi bitory clauses of the law, even Iho’ the envelope contian a wiilten communica tion, if that communication relate to the contents of Hie packet. In republishing tbe report on Steam Navigation, the editor of the New-Yorh Daily A'nertiser, remarks ; “ We pro- sent our readers with an abstract of a report 011 steum navigation, made by a committee of the British House of Com mons-, the principal object of which re lated to the transportation of the mails between London amt Dublin. This re- pori, notwithstanding Hie childish vanity in inil'ested in it nf arrogating “ oil the i>!ory of the invention” to England, Ho.ugh in Ihe same breath it is - • ?,| lloit the Americans have the merit of bringing the invention into use, i-nii’aius an iiilr-iesiing detail of fact.?, and mu h valuable information. As it respects tiie glory of the invention, while j| is acknowledged that to our country belongs 'he merit ol hav ing rendered the p .v t p of steam, in this mode, useful, we caro not who claims all ihe residue 0 | the giorv.
