Mr. Edik n,
JlN looking into the Watchm an, of
Wednesday, the first thing that caught my eye
was a list of Directors for the new Bank, I was
much tickled with the liberality of the writer in
exercising his sapient judgment, not only for the
Slockliolhers, but even for die Directors, in cl)li
sting a Fresidciif for them also. What a pity he
had not given us a Cashier, clerks. Sec. and thus
have made his business complete ! The opinions
of this writer so completely correspond with the
" extract of a letter from Dover," particularly
on the subject of a President, that I was led to
suppose it was written by the same identical fei
le . himself, and coul.1 never have reconciled it
to iny mini! b it that it w..s another Dover job •
as ail die wise things come fom thence ! lor
you know your " friend of great understanding
and unbounded influence" might have given hi*
opinion in what manner we could pos ess our
a
selves of a small part of the Inidiant talents of
the old Bank to insist the pi »d.ling geniuses of
the new one " r.ir/tout a fee
For my part, ; r, 1 .Mil one of those who hive
lide to do but fun 'teett yarn, and listen to the
talk of the wise ones, as 1 was lounging up street
the other morning, 1 heard much buz about the
Dover litter, and meeting cousin Jncoii and cou
sin eitlen, they began tn talk about it, and said it
was ail right, and that it was indeed their senti
ments. 1 began to think tint 1 was wrong, and
tint this ticket in the Watchman did not come
from Dover, as there were great tm-n among us
of the same opinion as the supposed Dover man
—for my two relations are both wise men !
But ivimt was more cJtraoiJinarv, Mr. Jones,

Napoleon shall espouse (out of pure good will
for the institution) the Bank Princess Ann of
Russia as his new bride. This. Mr. Joncs, I sub
mit as a grandproject, the advantages of which
will be that the two Banks can be served with
nine Directors instead of eighteen—thereby sav
ing annually the expence of one half ; and i< i
most probable that although Diiector Napoleon
would still terre Bank Josephine, yet, being fond
of liis new bride, lie would manliest a warm par
tiality for her, at least wliiie the profitable honey
moon lasted.
