NASHVILLE, Tenn. Jan. 8.

The Stale Bank Some difficulty has arisen,
and much unpleasant excitement been created
by the effort Of the Legislature to examine into
he situation Of ,he Bank Of the State The
late Cashier, Colonel Joel Parrish, having re-
fused to deliver up the BOOKS. or 10 expose the
true condition Of The institution, has bren re.
mo, ed from Off e, and the charter Of the bank
having bern so amended as TO provide for the
election of Cashier by the Legislature, Mr..
William M. Berryhll was yesterday chosen 10
fill that station. The books. we understand,
have NOT ye, been surrendered, but the Com
mittee Of The General Assembly are sill busi!y
engaged in the Interrogation Of the affairs Of
The bank,
The apology offered by Colonel Parrish for
retaining he books, is that they will disc lose
the overdrawing aud drfalcstion of some indi
vdsaIs whom he ha, per mi'ted 10 use portion
Of the funds Of the institution, land whose names
he is unwilling to discover. That there is a
deficiency in the bank through the agency Of
the late cashier Is admitted, bu, in consequence
Of the withholding Of the books, us extent and
causes have not yet been pre- issiy ascer,ainrd.
The public, however, may rest assured hat il
is no, SO considerable as to endanger the sol
vcney Of the institution, and We are assured.
from the bss, authority, That il is probable
nothing will be ultimately lost to the state.
