We understand that the committee of shareholders
appointed to investigate the affairs of the Union Bank,
having daily before them cases evincing the necessity of
forming a new banking establishment to meet the re-
quirements of this district are seriously turning their
attention to effecting that object. The general business
of the Union Bank is found to have been lucrative, and it
possesses not only at the parent establishment, but at
several of its branches, a valuable and highly respect-
able connexion. It is understood that the committee
are desirous to retain these connexions, feeling that by
so doing the interest of the existing shareholders will
be better protected, and an increased accommodation
afforded to the public generally.—Newcastle Chronicle.
