VIRGINIA BANKS.

Our readers will observe, from tn
proceedings Of the Virginia Legisia-
ture, that bill has passed the House OF
Delegates. for Incorporating 20 banks
within the Commonwealth. This mea.
sure, we imagine, has been produced
by an union Of interest from the differ.
ent neighboring counties where these
institutions arc TO be located. Although
the creation of lew b1nks Nigh: have
Ueen useful in the state, we regret tbat
the Legislature should have ponc so &C.
ienSiVeiy into paper system, 1T this
time and We cannot but cxpress our
opinion that it would have been be,ler
to have remained as we were. We
very much mistake if, with this bill be
tore them, a petition will not be pre-
sent1d from every neglected county in
the state praying for fair dipi9ion o.
banking privileges
we coN'c not but observe the phra
seolosy Of the bill in the Location of the
bank for The county Of LoUdoun. We
understand that an effort will be made
TO have it OF Waterford to the neglec;
OF Leesburg-which is one OF the mos,
eligible places for bank in the state.
The representatives have neglected ths
interests Of their constituents, in nor
exercising their influence to have tina
place designated. Such wavering poll
