and while the great and interesting subjects
of the times are passing in review before
US, this little, interesting, useful and praise.
worthy establishment, should not be 'suf-
ferrd to be obscursd. The Institution, :ho'
in its Infancy, ha, been able to make di
vidend at the rate of six per cent Per annum
for the frs, six months, which under all
the necessary eZpences attendant on It's
commencing operation, is as much as has
been usual for banks, at first, and many Of
those expences will not have to be incurred
apain-and from the sales that have been
made, and the number Of correspondents
established, by which future supplies may
be regularly drawn, we are persuaded it
will not fall short Of any other institution
as to rate Of interest. But thu great and
pleasing Objects the immsdiats and ample
means it has afforded to Weavers and vari-
Oh. Mechanics, of vending their fabrics,
and in the mean time by means Of deposits
to draw pecuniary aid SO as to keep them
constantly at work. The wealthest towns
we know, nave been made SO by the aid Of
Mechanics who settled in them, and furnish
ready supply of all kinds Of articles that
are pow manufactured among US, and in re-
turn are regular eonaumers tor the agri-
culturaists. And as this particular place
is now advancing, with some prospect of
success. it is hoped we may be able to To-
cate some of those advantages, by which
means the larger towns have enriched
Themselves. Every institution unast have
its beginning, and though it may Sale forth
withou. universal patronage at frs, yet
there is not less credit due 10 its trainers
who shall have reared it into manhood,
when il shall be able TO sand firm as
benefit to all.

Bonapsrse, the D vii, and the Stock in
