Specie Paynlents.-The public viii re-
mark with pleasure, that the UnionRank
in this cit, has determined to resume
specie payments. We have long had all
eye upon the operations of this bank.-
Some severe losses had, some years since,
crippled it little but the directors
have since been honest enough to sus-
pend their dividends The consequence
is, that their institution is now healthy
and vigorous. The Kindness and patro-
mage Of real capitalists are highly dsserv-
ed by the Union Bank, and we trust
will be extended to it, in such degree
Iat least as to make the Others believe,
that $: honesty is the best policy"
