will be found the notice of the Commissioners
appointed under the law, for opening the books
of subscription for the capital stock of the
Bank OF the Valley" Fronth spirit mani
tested by many individuals, IN relation to their
determination to adv ehtnre largely in this stock.
aud from the gathering accounts which have
been received from some of the other places
designated by law for the opening of the books,
not a doubt remains but that 4 sufficient amount
efstock will be subscribed for, to authorize the
Bank being put into operation. 1t seems To be
admitted mi hands, that the stoc of the Val
ley Bank must, from its local situation, lbeing
remote from the operation OF the influence OF
the United States Bank, } become the hest stock
in Virginia. Stockholders in the Virginia Banks
have already disposed of their stock with a
view to embark in the other, and funds from
Alexandria have also been deposited here for
the same purpose. Capitalists and others will
therefore no doubt consult their interest by
making their arrangements totake stock in the
contemplated Bank. Weare assured land the
authority is saeh that il cannot be doubted,)
that the paper OF tile Banks 0fthe United Sta tes
Philadelphia, Baltimore, District of Columbia
and Vir@inla will be received in payment of
stock but il will nevertheless be desirable
that a, mnch specie as possible be paid by the
subscribers. Gazette.

found il practicable to make an excellent read
on this route which will probably I've construct
ed at less expense than any other turnpike
from the great quantity of materials of all
kinds with which the country abouDds. After
taking the altitude of the Falls Of KanawlId,
lie has made a survey of that beautiful and in
terestiug river as far Chariestown, noting
the numerous Salt-Works IN its margin, now
IN tui' operation, and making At present at the
rate OF more than half a million of bushels per
annnm at the same time measuring the road
on the side OF the River with great care and
attention. He and his party proceeded down
Inc river IN two boats To Point Pleasant, and
