UNITED STATES BANK.

One of the papers last received from New York con-
thins the annual report of the United States Bank up
to the Ist of December, the details of which, consider-
ing the long contest it has had to sustain with the Go-
vernment, afford evidence of great resources, and, as
regards the mere financial administration, of very prudent
and judicious management.
The object of the conductors, when it was known that the
charter would not be renewed, became that of winding up
their affairs in the manner least likely to be detrimental to
the community. Accordingly, during the last six months,
the following changes have been made in its principal rela-
tions :-

The results arc-
-Ist. That the loans are higher now than they were six
months ago.
2d. That the circulation is higher now than it 'was six
months ago.
Whenever the Bank could do it safely, the debts have
been sold in large masses, on long credits of one to four
years, so as to enable the purchasers in turn to extend the
same indulgence to the individual debtors. In this
way the Bank has disposed of its debts at the following
branches :

Portland, Providence, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Lexington,
Louisville, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Natchez, New Orleans,
Mobile, Charleston, Fayetteville, Baltimore, and the agency
at Chillicothe ; and it has closed, without sale, the branches
at Burlington, Hartford, Utica, Norfolk, and Washington,
making 21 out of the 27 branches and agencies which are
closed or sold. There remain—Boston, New York, Rich-
mond, Savannah, Nashville, and the Real Estate Agency at
Cincinnati.

It is an honourable trait in the management of this Bank,
that in making these transfers of their branches they have
contrived to transfer also the services of the principal
clerks belonging to them, who appear otherwise tb have ex-
perienced very liberal treatment—a course not always
adopted in the great monopoly of the Bank of England,
though under circumstances calling much more imperiously
for the exercise of such liberality.
The various arrano-ements for winding up the affairs of
the Bank of the United States leave it in the following con-
dition. Its means are—
