Bank of the United States, Oct. 31, ARDNE
1840. R, Cashier.
On a cursory examination of this document, we perceive
that the immediate liabilities of the Bank, in note circu-
lation, and post-notes due in the present year, amount to
10,637,426 dollars ; in deposits to 9,815,358 dollars—the
tso items together making 13,452 784 dollars. We say
nothing of the small amount of unclaimed dividends form-
ing the fourth item, but it is seen that the proximate lia-
bilities, in post•notes due in 1841, amount to 1,345,072
dollars, and in loans raised in Europe, also due in 1841, to
3,805,730 dollars. Of the " bonds to the United States "
(1,134,271 dollars), and a sum " due to State banks"
(5,427,767 dollars) we cannot speak, because it is not
stated when they arc payable; but there appears to be a
guarantee of bonds of the Planters' Bank (341,000 dol-
lars), and a guarantee to the State of Michigan (856,875
dollars) due in the course of the ensuing year. Putting
these several amounts together, the proximate liabilities
cannot, therefore, be less than 6,348,677 dollars, and with-
out mere precise information as to the considerable sums due
to the" United States " and" State Banks" they may be as.
sumed to be materially greater. To be within the mark, and
to confine our calculations to the ascertained amounts,
leaving the shareholder to ms he inquiry upon the points in-
dicated by us as essential to a full understanding of the
matter, we shall take the two classes of liabilities, imme-
diate and proximate, at 119,601,497 dollars. Against this
amount the Bank possesses, in specie, 2,890,388 dols., or
rather more than one-seventh. It is presumable, then,
that the managers will not, considering the deteriorated
er- lit of the institution, think of resuming cash payments
- present, though, to face the sums falling due in
pc, it is right to observe that the foreign agencies
stand debited (including bills of exchange for 809,507
dollars) with 2,187.507 dollars. On the more remote
liabilities of the Bank, comprised in loans and bonds in
Europe, and post-notes due between 18-12 and 1847, in-
clusive, guarantees, &c., comment is needless. They must
be met at maturity, though time will be given for the pur-
pose. Passing from this side of the balance-sheet without
any further remark than that, while it presents a surplus
( nominally, of course) of $:3,327,201, credit is not given for
the overdue dividends, we have only to direct the attention
of the shareholder to the principal sums forming the sub-
stance of the bank out of which he has to look for the ul-
timate reimbursement of his capital. These consist of
stocks in America and Europe (the latter in deposit as se-
curity for loans, and in the hands of the London agents),
amounting to 29,309,513 dollars. Tile account does not
enable us to form anything like a distinct notion of the
value of this large portion of the assets. It may be sup-
posed to include a mass of paper representing bank, canal,
dock, railway, and other properties, which it might be de-
sirable, in any future statement that is issued of the affairs
of the United Sates Bank, to have classified under the
more intelligible head of shares. The sums " due by
" including the " notes" of the same, is
• boned, are all secure. The
-^4 stands at
State bans.,

9,573,237. These, it may
stock of specie, as we have already
2,890,388 dollars. The real estate, bank premises,
bonds, mortgages, &c., are put down at 4,135,625 dol-
lars ;
and, in addition to these amounts, there is a port-
folio full of bills discounted, and domestic bills of ex-
change, the former with and without security, the aggre-
gate of which is 24.905,586 dollars. The shareholder
will krow far better than ourselves what estimate to put
upon this, and the several preceding items at the credit of
the establishment.

tulation, CH RONICL E.—The arrival of the President
ship at Liverpool bac been the subject of
tulation, and the chief topic of conversation in theTrta;
The news brought by her has given confidence to those Ca'
terested in American affairs. When the President left
New York the money market was tranquil, although rather
tight, in consequence of the measures adopted by the
banks to resume specie plyments in January, and from
the shipments of silver to France. The specie in the
President is for French account, but the change that has
taken place in political affiira will tend to do away with
the chief causes which produced this export of silver from
the United States. State stocks were improving, and the cer-
tainty of General Harrison's election was looked upon as an
event which would be attended with a salutary change in
the
policy of the Federal Government, leading to the as-
tabl
i,h
sinement of
of
national currency, to a judicious and con-
ciliatoryaction towards the banks, and to the un-
shrinkin,,
