NORFOLK. Nav 8,

f'eiuent OF tne united states TO appoint Tho
mas Newton, Efq. Collector of the Cuttoms of
this port; and, conftouently, it became neceE-
fairy to choofe in MS itead a PrpGdeut of the
Branch Bank. Two gentlemen were nominal.
ed, Richard E. Lee, E/aMre, and LittLeton ~.
7azezveN, EjqMire; the Directors have voted ie.
| veral times without effect, the board being tii.
| vlded, and each party adhering, with inflexibe
integrity, to it's candidate. The confcoucnce
Of this pertnacity is that the huGnets of the in
ftitution Except the ordinary procefs of receiv-
ing and paying money! is now at ftand !; yef-
terday was difcount day, but for want Of Pre-
f9sat nothing could be done. The bank has for
the prefent loft half its title--it is an office of
Dtpoft but not of Djeomt. Extras. from, Led.
| Since the above wascompofed, we are ::eorm-
| ed that DoeToR WILLIAM B. SRLDeN has
been unanimously elected a Director, and after
wards Pretident of the Office of Difcount and
Depo!it of the Bank of Virginia. II.
(This difagreeabIe fchifrn among the Direct
ors, tho it may have retarded the operations,
has fcarcely injured the beenuiary nterets of the
! Bank. In the mother Bank at this place, thew
have two M/eount days in the week Tuefday
and Friday. In the Branches at Norfolk, Pc
tcrfburg and Fredericksburg, they have only one.
Tueiday is the difcount day at Norfolk and
the want of a PTejf@ent having prevented them
from making any di(counts on that day lat
week,they determined TO make ufe of Friday
forths purpofe.)
