! given to Robert White, Esq. Casherof the Manhat
tan Bank, for the able in which he has eX.
ploded that institutional institution which has done
than any bank to create the present revul-
sion in the monetary world, by aiding or projecting
all those schemes and experiments on the currency
which have agitated the country for ten years past
Resolved, That should the directors of the Man
haitian Bank dispense with his services hereafter,
we hereby recommend the said Robert, one of the
tried fnancers of Wall street, 10 the notice of Co.
vernon Gilbert Davis of Coney Island who is about
setting into operation his grand National Bank of
thousand millions of dollars be paid up in specie
and clans.
Resolved, That should Robert White have any
desire TO go to Texas under the sign of G.. t. T :,
we cheerfully recommend him to the government OF
that interesting republic fit candidate for Secre-
tary of the Treasury.
ResOIved, That should Robert White, on the other
hand desire TO spend the spring in Paris, the
chants of New York will cheerfuly pay his passage,
present him with silver cup that will hold good
horn OF brandy and water, and give him letters of in
PRODUCTION to those highly respectable subtreasurers
and fnanciers, Samuel Swartwout and VIM. M.
Price, Esqrs.
In the meantime the directors very busy inves-
tigatng the loans and of the bank One of the
most curious of these loans is 100000 to the Revd
Barnabas Bates. The security for this money is
about good as that OF Kentucky Bank Stock. We
understand that for $4,000 of this sum, the Rev'd.
gentleman shows set off for work done in his line.
He has offered up prayers for the prosperity of
the Bank, to that amount, having been its chap
lain for two years. For the balance of the loan,
$1,000, the bank probably holds Barnabas's draft
at thee days after the day ofjudgment the bank
of the kingdom of Heaven. Robert White him.
self, having had time to attend TO his souls
concern, made this provision ahead, by a check at
sight eternity. For a part of the loan of Moses
Allen, similar security is probably held. Mr. AL
len is very worthy man, is member of Dr.
Springs Church, and though he may have not large
depostes in Vail street. yet he has vast balances to
his credit in Heaven. What the security of Camp
bell p. White may be, we cannot tell. That Of the
Josephs is pretty good consisting in bank stocks
not much deprecated.
The truth las the engraving accurately shows the
devil has been very busy Of late knocking down many
Of these securities, and actually playing nine pins
with some of the most respectable people Of the
street The Rev. Barnabas Bates has fallen-but we
have doubthe will be set up again for sixpense
and be frmer than The rest still standing
but Satan has spare ball, and may yet do immense
mischief of his rolls. Unfortunately the watch
dog is duty outside Of the bank instead Of the in
sde-and Robert White himself with his hands
raised to Heaven in astonshment is looking out at
the window at the fun, when he ought TO be looking
inwardly upon his conscience.
The Manhattan Bank was first organized by the
late Aaron Burr il does not, therefore, disgrace its
venerable paternity. More tomorrow.
